Chapter 42: Gary Vs Lt. Surge

"Sabrina...! You are the Saffron Gym Master!!" As a gym master in the Kanto Region, Lt. Surge still knew Sabrina, and he also knew that Sabrina was a Psychic.

But... why did Sabrina appear here?

"The Golden Gym has been handed over to my father, and I am no longer the gym master." Sabrina said.

Lt. Surge was ashamed. He wanted to take advantage of Sabrina, but he didn't expect to meet a tough guy. Fortunately, he apologized in time, otherwise it would be bad.

Although harry tried her best to hide Sabrina's affairs, Saffron City and Vermilion City are so close, Lt. Surge has heard about Sabrina to some extent and knows that the other party is a powerful Psychic.

"Can we start the gym battle?" Gary interrupted the conversation between the two.

Gary didn't want to waste too much time on the gym battle. If it ended early, his Pokémon could start the morning training early.

"Okay, then come with me." Lt. Surge looked at Gary. Although he was a child, he could be with Sabrina, so Lt. Surge stopped looking down on him.

The two came to a battle field and stood in the command area on both sides.

The Vermilion Gym is very advanced. After all, the Trainers who specialize in electric Pokémon are a bit technology-savvy, so the gyms they build are naturally very advanced.

The referee is the intelligent housekeeper system.

"Now let's start the gym competition, the battle is 1 on 1."

Ding!

The bell rang, and Lt. Surge threw the Poké Ball.

"Go, Raichu!"

Great!

A fat Raichu appeared. Compared with other Raichu, Lt. Surge's Raichu is very strong, very much like his Trainer, and has a ferocious expression on his face.

[LV30 Raichu♂/Gym]

Lt. Surge's Raichu has good potential, but the level is not very high.

"Scizor, I leave it to you." Gary threw the Poké Ball.

Great!

"Scizor!"

Scizor in red armor appeared.

"This kid is really not Normal." Lt. Surge naturally knew the Pokémon Scizor. Just having Scizor alone was stronger than most of the Trainers who came here to challenge.

"The game begins."

Dang!!!

The alarm bell rang.

The battle was about to start.

"Thunderbolt!"

"Quick Attack!"

Both sides issued commands at the same time.

Raichu's cheeks sparked and he quickly shot out a laser. Scizor used the Quick Attack skill to speed up and easily avoided the lightning. He came in front of Raichu and knocked him out.

"Thunder!"

Raichu, who was knocked out, was very unconvinced. While flying backwards, his body also emitted arcs and shot out a golden thunderbolt.

"Double Team."

Scizor immediately used Double Team, causing Thunderbolt to miss, and the clones surrounded Raichu.

"Fury Cutter!" Gary continued to attack.

Scizor and its clones quickly rushed towards Raichu, with the giant claws wrapped in insect energy.

"Release Thunder Shock in a scattered manner." Lt. Surge shouted immediately.

"Thunder!"

Raichu didn't care which one was the real one, and countless chaotic electric currents were emitted from his body. The electric currents expanded outwards and instantly dispersed the clones. Only Scizor himself used his giant claws to block Thunder Shock.

Scizor put one foot into the ground, and the current on his body was led into the ground along the steel armor, successfully avoiding the damage of Thunder Shock.

"What! This...!"

Lt. Surge was stunned. Although Steel Pokémon are not afraid of Electric skills, because their whole body is Steel, Electric skills can easily paralyze them.

But Scizor's move actually avoided the damage of Thunder Shock.

This move was naturally learned from Ash , and Gary naturally learned and applied it. Steel Pokémon can use this move to deal with Electric skills when facing Electric Pokémon.

This move can be regarded as a pseudo-lightning rod, but it is not immune to all Electric skills. If the Electric skills released by the opponent are strong enough, they will still be hurt.

"Raichu, use Thunderbolt." Lt. Surge also saw this and ordered immediately.

"After Quick Attack approaches, use Bullet Punch!" Gary also gave an order instantly.

Whoosh!

A red light passed between Scizor and Raichu.

Scizor appeared in front of Raichu, his pincers flashing silver, and Bullet Punch rained down on Raichu, knocking him away.

Electric Pokémon are highly resistant to steel skills, but the Bullet Punch skill is better in terms of high combo, which can hit more than a dozen punches in a short period of time.

If you practice fighting, you can hit dozens of punches in a few seconds.

Even if the power is low, it can still cause considerable damage if you do it more often.

What's more, Scizor has the Technical Expert Ability, and with the attribute bonus, the Bullet Punch with a power of only 40 can be increased to 80.

In terms of skill power, a skill with a power of 80 is not bad, and it has reached the highest threshold of wave skills.

"Thunder...!"

In just three rounds, Raichu has been seriously injured and is about to die.

"Bullet Punch!" Gary also pursued and killed ruthlessly, not giving Lt. Surge and Raichu any chance to turn the tables.

"Then let's have a Close Combat, Mega Punch!" Lt. Surge also saw that the electric skills were useless against Scizor, so he had to fight head-on.

"Thunder!"

Raichu clenched his fist, and ordinary energy gathered on his fist, emitting a white-hot light. As Scizor arrived, Raichu punched out.

Bang! !

The two sides fought, and it was evenly matched, which showed that Raichu's muscles were not dead muscles.

However, Scizor's attack was not over yet, and another giant pincer attacked. Raichu wanted to block it but it was too late. The pincer covered with silver steel elements hit Raichu's cheek and knocked him out.

Bang! !

Raichu fell to the ground, his eyes rolled in circles, and he lost consciousness.

"Raichu lost his ability to fight, Scizor won."

"The winner is the challenger Gary."

A mechanical voice sounded.

"What a complete defeat." Lt. Surge covered his head with his hands. Although he couldn't accept the defeat, he really lost completely. The opponent's tactics successfully targeted his Raichu.

The battle was over.

"Congratulations, this is the proof of defeating me, Thunder Badge." Lt. Surge handed the gym badge to Gary.

The Thunder Badge is in the shape of a sunflower, with yellow and orange colors, which is quite beautiful.

"Thank you."

Gary took the badge.

[Ding! Mission completed, rewards have been distributed to the space backpack. ]

After challenging the gym, Gary and Sabrina also went to the Pokémon Center.

Gary and Sabrina went to the public venue to release Pokémon for training because they were in the city. The training time was changed from 1 hour to 2 hours.

Gary mainly focused on Growlithe.

[LV12 Growlithe♂/normal]

After a few days of growth, Growlithe is now level 12.
