Kumquat Island.
News broadcast: "Here is a piece of news for you. Trainer Gary from Pallet Town will challenge the chief trainer Drake this Sunday. Please watch it on time on Sunday morning...!"
"Damn it, Gary has already challenged the chief trainer." Ash looked at the broadcast on TV and gritted his teeth, his teeth were about to break.
"Gary is really fast. It's only been a few days, and he not only got the last badge, but also challenged Drake." Misty exclaimed.
"Yes, it should be riding Moltres to have such a fast speed." Xiao Jian said.
Previously on Shamouti Island, Gary told Professor Oak about his research on Moltres and Articuno, and Xiao Jian was listening.
Among the three sacred birds, Moltres has the strongest physical strength and endurance, because Moltres can restore energy through sunlight, and the distance of each migration is the farthest among the three sacred birds.
Ash and his group have just arrived at Kumquat Island and are planning to challenge the last gym. Halfway through, they see a TV in the glass window, which is posting a notification message.
For the people of Orange Islands, challenging the Orange Alliance Chief Trainer is a very worthwhile game to watch, because Drake has not lost a single game so far, which makes the people of Orange Islands proud of him.
Many 787 people will go to Pummelo Island to watch the Chief Trainer Challenge, and it is hard to get a ticket.
"The game is on Sunday, which is three days later. Can we get there in time now?" Xiaoshou really wants to go to the scene to watch Gary's game.
"The distance between Kumquat Island and Pummelo Island is not far. If Ash can successfully get the Jade-Star Badge today, we will hurry tomorrow and arrive before the evening, just in time." Xiaojian analyzed.
"Then Ash, don't hold back, and do your best in the gym game later." Misty urged.
"Don't worry, I won't lose. And can you be more confident in me? I never lost in the first three gyms of Orange Alliance." Ash said proudly.
Compared with collecting badges in Kanto Region, Ash's badge collection process in Orange Islands was quite smooth. He basically got the badges by his own strength, not charity.
So, the three of them quickened their pace and headed to Sootopolis Hotel...!
...!
Two days later.
Gary's Pokémon Contest Condition was adjusted. He did some warm-up exercises in the morning and rested in the afternoon to maintain the best Contest Condition for tomorrow morning's competition.
Gary himself stayed in the Pokémon Center and didn't go anywhere.
It's not that Gary didn't want to go out. The islands with towns in Orange Islands are all tourist attractions. It's because of the broadcast of Orange Alliance TV Station that Gary was targeted by many paparazzi and was photographed at any time, which gave Gary a headache.
There is no way, this is the trouble of celebrities. When Gary just won the Quartz Conference Champion, every passerby he met on the road would come up to take pictures with Gary, and some asked for his autograph. Some even went to Pallet Town to see Gary.
"Gary!"
Suddenly, a voice came, which scared Gary.
Gary turned around immediately and saw Ash running towards him, followed by Misty, Xiao Jian and Pikachu.
"Xiao...! You are so fast?!" Gary said in surprise.
Ash and his friends were traveling by water, so they shouldn't be that fast.
"Hello, Gary."
"We came here specially."
Xiao Jian and Misty greeted Gary.
"Come here specially? Didn't you go to Kumquat Island?" Gary said in confusion.
Is it necessary to change the itinerary specifically to watch a game...?
"Of course I went. I beat Miss Sootopolis in one try to watch your game and came here from Kumquat Island." Ash said.
"Is that so... Not bad, you've improved from before." Gary praised.
"Don't praise me, I'm not a Rookie." Ash immediately heard that Gary was being sarcastic.
It was common for Gary to pass the gym in one go, but Ash had been an (acbe) Trainer for almost a year, so he wouldn't be complacent about such things.
"Not bad, I've improved a little, but not much." Gary said.
Ash didn't bother to argue with Gary at this time, and asked seriously: "Gary, how confident are you in the battle with Drake tomorrow?"
Gary was very surprised, he didn't expect Ash to ask him this question, Ash rarely discussed such serious topics with Gary.
"Anyway, I won't lose." Gary put on a proud attitude, not that he looked down on Drake, but the gap in strength between the two was still a little big.
"Gary, that chief trainer Drake has Dragonite, Dragonite is a very strong Pokémon [even in some abilities not inferior to the Dominant Bird." Xiao Jian reminded.
"I admit that Drake's Dragonite is a little powerful, but I can still deal with it."
Gary shook his head and said indifferently: "As for the Quasi-God Pokémon...
I have it too." "You also have Dragonite!?"
Xiao Jian was surprised.
He didn't know what Pokémon Gary had. "No Dragonite, but there is Banjira."
Gary said. "Banjira...
That's the Quasi-God Pokémon of Johto Region Region, that...
I have never seen it before, can I take a look?"
Xiao Jian asked. "Of course no problem, I'll show you later."
Gary said generously.
After the Orange Islands trip, Xiao Jian will come to Pallet Town and become Professor Oak's assistant to help take care of the Pokémon in the Laboratory, which will naturally take care of Gary Pokémon, so you have to befriend Xiao Jian. "Let's go, I'll show you now. "
Gary started to act after saying that, and led everyone to the public area behind the Pokémon Center, and released Bangira in front of Ash and the other two.
"Hoo!?"
Bangira came out and saw that there was no enemy. He was confused and didn't know why Gary let him out.
"Bangira, let me introduce you. This is the Pokémon observer Xiao Jian, who wants to observe you." Gary said.
"Hoo..." Bangira turned his head to one side, with an unwilling attitude.
"Gary, this..." Xiao Jian saw that Bangira seemed reluctant, and it was not easy to take the initiative to observe.
"You can observe. My Bangira has a rebellious personality. This means that it agrees." Gary said.
"Is that so? I'll start." Xiao Jian immediately came to Bangira and tested Bangira's height, waist, arms and other parts, and also tested the hardness of Bangira's armor.
"What a heavy sound, it seems to be harder than Rhydon's armor. "Xiao Jian judged.
"Bawu!"
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky.
"Who!!".
