29: Cerulean City

"Copy!" Looking at the energy in the center of the meteorite, Ash opened his three tomoe Sharingan to copy it. The white energy in the air was constantly pouring into Ash's Sharingan!

"Sure enough, because of the opening of the Mangekyo Sharingan, the amount of elemental energy that can be stored in my three tomoe Sharingan is also astonishing. Since it can be duplicated, then the need for Evolution Stones is not so great!"

Feeling the copied energy in his Sharingan, Ash thought with a slight smile. The Moonstone's energy was white, the Thunder Stone's energy was yellow, the Fire Stone's energy was red, and the Water Stone's energy was blue!

Currently, Ash's Sharingan could only copy the energy of Elemental Energy. This energy could not be used. Ash could only transfer this energy to the outside world. In other words, Ash was now an Evolution Stone, and he could allow Pokémon that needed Evolution Stones to perfectly evolve!

After storing a large amount of Elemental Energy, Ash returned to the tent to sleep. This energy was enough to allow ten Pokémon to perfectly evolve!

Early the next morning, Ash, who was sleeping, felt something soft licking his cheek!

"Pikachu, stop messing around. Let me sleep a little longer. I slept very late last night!" Without thinking, Ash knew that Pikachu had woken him up!

"Pikachu!" Seeing that Ash was unwilling to wake up, Pikachu had no choice but to scratch his cute cheek and eat the Pokémon food that Brock had prepared!

"Ash, hurry up and get up. We have to reach Cerulean City before evening, otherwise we'll have to sleep in the tent again!" Seeing Pikachu walk out of the tent by himself, Brock knew that Ash had not woken up yet!

"I remember, I still have to challenge the Gym!" Hearing Brock's words, Ash directly woke up. Because he got the Sharingan, Ash was so happy that he almost forgot about business!

After washing up, Ash and Brock began to move towards Cerulean City. As for the matter of Mt. Moon, it could be considered to have been resolved. However, Clefairy, this kind of rarePokémon, still had a lot of research to do!

Of course, the research he was talking about was proper research, not dissecting or anything like that. If he knew about the existence of these skins, Prof. Oak should be very happy!

"Ash, Cerulean Gym, do you also want to challenge the gemstone version Gym badge?" On the way, Brock was bored and asked Ash next to him!

"That's right. Other than the gemstone version of the badge, I don't think there's a need to collect the rest. However, the strength of a High Elite Stage powerhouse is much stronger than I imagined. Even your grandfather, Takeo, made me sweat profusely!" Hearing Ash's words, Brock nodded. Previously, when he fought with Takeo, Ash was indeed very nervous. After all, it was his first time challenging a High Elite!

Brock took out a notebook and searched for information on the High Elite of Cerulean Gym. Then, he said to Ash!

"According to the Leagues information my grandfather gave me, the High Elite of Cerulean Gym is Rachel Williams. She is also a friend of my grandfather. I've also met her this time. I heard from my grandfather that Granny Rachael is very strong in battles with Water-type Pokémon!"

"Rachael Williams?"

Hearing this, Ash slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were already scarlet Sharingan. Because of the Sharingan, Ash's personality was completely separated!

The current Ash had already begun to develop a more lively personality. However, once he opened the Sharingan, Ash would instantly calm down and only focus on one thing. Relatively speaking, it was a positive development!

In the evening, Ash and Brock finally arrived at Cerulean City. To be honest, the journey was really long. They actually walked for an entire day. Because it was too late, the two of them decided to rest well in the Pokémon Center!

Ash had the Pokémon Center, so he could enjoy the accommodation for free. As for Brock, because he was a certified trainer of the League, he could also enjoy the accommodation for free with the help of his badge!

"Nurse Joy, how are you? My Pokémon are in your care!"

"Ah! Nurse Joy, my name is Brock. I'm seventeen this year, and I'm still single. May I have dinner with you? "

After entering the Pokémon Center, Ash said to Nurse Joy of Cerulean City. Because all Nurse Joy looked the same, no one would make a fuss about it. However, Ash did not expect that Brock would actually become lecherous as soon as he saw Nurse Joy, just like in the original novel!

"Haha ~ ~ I accept your kindness, but my family has a rule that I can't be with other men. Sorry!" Nurse Joy awkwardly rejected Brock, and at the same time, took over Ash's Pokémon!

Hearing Nurse Joy's words, Brock was instantly petrified. It was as if a gentle breeze could turn the petrified Brock into dust!

After taking over Ash's Pokémon, Nurse Joy politely bowed to Ash. "You must be Ash Oak. I've heard from my sister before. Thank you so much for the cooperation on the spirit recovery potion this time!"

The Joy family had already issued a notice that they must treat Ash as a VIP. In fact, it was not that the Joys and Jenny families could not marry, but they needed to fulfill a condition. However, this condition eliminated countless men in this world. As for what it was, Ash could only find out in the future!

"It's okay. In terms of selling potions, your Joy family is recognized as number one. No one can refute this. Therefore, I think that choosing your family for the cooperation on potions is the right choice!" Hearing Nurse Joy's words, Ash said with a smile.

Looking at Ash's smile and red eyes, Nurse Joy's cheeks blushed, giving off a cute feeling. In order not to be rude in front of everyone, Nurse Joy found an excuse to leave first!

Ash and Brock also returned to their respective rooms. After Pikachu entered his room, he immediately lay down on the soft bed. After all, being outside was not as comfortable as being inside. Ash had not had a good night's sleep for a few days!

Cerulean Gym was a Gym that used Water Type Pokémon. Ash had not subdued any Pokémon since his travels. After all, he had not encountered anything that was worthy of Ash's desire to subdue!

"Looks like the Steelix won't be able to fight tomorrow. After all, its type are too strong. Not to mention, the opponent's level is higher than mine!" Thinking about the type of his Pokémon, Ash felt that he should still use Growlithe, Pidgeotto, and Pikachu tomorrow!

There many reason behind choosing Growlithe, among the two. Even though Steelix and Growlithe both are weak to water however, Steelix is damaged normally by ice type attacks and Growlithe is resistant to them, as such, this is a relative advantage in itself.

Just like that, Ash slowly fell asleep while thinking about tomorrow's battle. After all, there would definitely be a tough battle tomorrow, so he had to conserve his energy!
