Chapter 118: Ash Vs Blaine

Blaine was surprised. He didn't expect Gary's Blastoise to know the Protect skill. He had asked Blastoise to withstand Arcanine Thunder Fang before, but he had never used Protect. Gary is really good at hiding his weakness.

He deliberately didn't use Protect, which made Rival careless...!

The Protect skill is very useful in reality. After blocking an attack, you can counterattack. However, Protect can only be used twice. Even if it is used later, it will most likely be broken by Rival's attack.

"Flash Cannon!" Gary gave a ruthless command. The cannon on Blastoise's back fired two silver beams, knocking Arcanine more than ten meters away. He fell to the ground outside the field, and his eyes swirled.

At this point, the battle with Blaine ended, and Gary won the gym battle.

"What a wonderful battle."

"Gary's Blastoise is so strong."

====?=#

Brock and Misty were attracted by this battle throughout the whole process. Blaine was very strong, but Gary was even stronger.

"Okay, it's my turn next." Ash watched the battle and became excited, and began to look forward to the battle with Blaine.

Brock, Misty:???

Seeing Ash eager to try, Brock and Misty didn't know what to say.

Before seeing the battle between Gary and Blaine, Brock and Misty thought that Ash could still get the Badge. After watching it, they felt that Ash might not have a chance. Thinking carefully, the only Pokémon Ash could show off might be Pikachu and Charizard.

Ash's two strongest Pokémon are Pikachu and Charizard, but Charizard currently does not obey Ash's instructions and sometimes even does not want to fight. Pikachu is the only one who can fight, and it is very difficult for Pikachu to fight three alone.

The most important thing is that Ash seems to have no idea at all. He didn't feel the gap when watching the battle between Gary and Blaine, and he was still very motivated.

Don't you have any idea in your mind, Ash?

Blaine looked at Ash and thought to himself: "Both Ash and Gary are from Pallet Town. They seem to be quite strong. I will take them seriously later~.

Blaine's strength is naturally far more than that. He has Pokémon that are stronger than the gym level. If he really wants to take them out, Gary is no match.

"It's a great game. The Volcano Badge is yours." Blaine handed the Volcano Badge to Gary.

"Thank you."

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

After getting the Volcano Badge, the system also prompted that the mission was completed.

"Mr. Blaine, can I start?" Seeing that Gary got the Badge, Ash also rushed over and asked when he could start.

"Wait a minute, I will treat the Pokémon first and bring a few more Pokémon." Blaine said.

"Okay, then go and come back quickly." Ash couldn't wait any longer.

Blaine and Gary entered the Laboratory and handed the defeated Pokémon to Primo for treatment.

Afterwards, Blaine took a few Poké Balls and went to the back field.

...!

"It's still a 3 vs 3 game. My No. 1 player is this." Blaine threw the Poké Ball.

Great!

[LV50 Flareon/ Elite]

A fire Pokémon with fiery red hair appeared. Level 50 is already a quasi-Elite level, and it is also the ceiling level of the gym.

"Can Ash win?" Gary saw the Pokémon sent by Blaine and felt that Ash's winning rate was too low.

Pikachu is currently only level 39, not even level 40. Gary's other Pokémon are naturally not too high, most of them should be below level 40, which is a complete level suppression.

Pokédex: "Flareon, fire-type Pokémon, is the evolution of Eevee. Part of the air inhaled will be pushed into the fire bladder in the body to form flames."

Ash took the Pokédex to check the information of the fire Pokémon and had already determined which Pokémon to use to deal with it.

"Okay, since it's a fire-type Pokémon, then use a water-type Pokémon. Go, Squirtle." Ash threw the Poké Ball.

Great!

[LV36 Squirtle/ Elite]

Gary"...!"

Sure enough, just as Gary guessed, Ash's other Pokémon levels will not exceed Pikachu's. How can a level 36 fight a level 50?

Blaine was also a little confused when he saw this scene. He thought that Ash's strength was similar to Gary's, but he actually sent out a Squirtle that had not evolved to its final form. What the hell.

Blaine didn't know what to say. After all, it was a gym battle and he had to fight on.

" Flamethrower!" Blaine gave the order.

"Squirtle use Water Gun." Ash also immediately counterattacked.

Flareon took a deep breath and sprayed red flames to attack. Squirtle also immediately used Water Gun to counterattack.

Zizizizi!

The Water Gun was instantly evaporated when it came into contact with the flareon flames. The flames also swallowed Squirtle. When the flames dissipated, Squirtle's moist shell became dry and black. Squirtle also poked his head out, his eyes spinning in circles.

"`"What! Squirtle didn't even resist Flamethrower." Misty said in shock.

"It seems that the level of that Fire Pokémon is very high. "Gary judged.

Gary was also troubled. Ash's level was too poor not Rival at all.

Blaine was also quite surprised. He didn't expect Ash's Pokémon to be so weak. He immediately boasted: "The victory or defeat cannot be determined by attributes alone. Your Squirtle is far inferior to Gary's Blastoise."

Ash was quite dissatisfied with being compared with Gary by Blaine. He retorted: "Then use fire to fight fire."

Then, Ash took back Squirtle, took out the Poké Ball, and prayed to the Poké Ball: "Please, you have to show your fighting spirit.

"Charizard, it's you!" Ash threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

Great!

A stunted Charizard appeared.

[LV45 Charizard/Champion]

Because of the early evolution, Ash's Charizard has not accumulated enough energy in his body, so he is a little smaller than the normal Charizard, but this Charizard is still powerful.

It's just that using fire to attack fire is still useful for other fire Pokémon, but facing the fire Pokémon with Flash Fire Ability, Charizard is too passive.

"Ash, you idiot, the Flareon has Flash Fire Ability, why are you using Charizard." Gary couldn't help but complain.

"What's wrong with Flash Fire Ability?" Ash asked in confusion.

Everyone was stunned...!

"Pokémon with Flash Fire Ability are immune to fire skill damage, and if they are hit by fire, they will increase their own attack." Blaine replied.

"What! Is there such a thing!" It was the first time Ash encountered a Pokémon with Flash Fire Ability, and he had never suffered any loss in this regard.

"It doesn't matter, I just don't use fire skills." Ash pumped himself up.

Seeing Ash like this, Gary was also convinced.
