"I have Squirtle!" Ash said.
"You really give me a headache. The match is 3 vs 3. Are you going to rely on just Squirtle? And don't you have Krabby?" Gary said.
"Yes, and Krabby!" Ash immediately remembered that he had captured a Krabby.
"Your Pokémon are really pitiful. If Krabby knew that you forgot about it, I don't know how sad it would be," Gary complained.
"This...!" Ash knew that he was in the wrong, so he could only remain silent.
"My match is about to start, so I won't talk to you anymore. You should work hard and don't get eliminated."
Gary waved his hand and followed Sabrina to leave and head to the B field.
"Let's go, I'll teleport Krabby over," Ash felt that Gary was right. Squirtle alone was definitely not enough. A Water-type Pokémon was needed.
...!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the first round of the Indigo Plateau Conference officially began, and the four venues were competing simultaneously.
In the Ice Venue, Gary and his rival Kawase were already standing in the command area of the venue.
The reporters around were all holding cameras to capture the two of them.
Because it was the first round of the Indigo Plateau Conference, each media outlet needed to collect a lot of material to publish news, so they had to shoot well.
And Gary was the celebrity of this Indigo Plateau Conference.
Because he signed up for the competition with his real name, the name Gary Oak naturally caught the attention of those reporters who were more sensitive than a dog's nose.
On the way, when they found that Gary was heading to the Ice Venue, many media outlets had already come here to shoot.
In the referee area of the battle venue, the referee stood in the middle and announced: "There are only 3 Pokémon in use. The first match of the Ice Venue has begun. Please send out Pokémon from both sides."
"Go, Jynx!"
"Arcanine, you go!"
Gary and Kawase threw Poké Balls at the same time.
Kawase sent out Jynx, an Ice-type Pokémon that is adapted to the ice field.
Jynx is a humanoid Pokémon with long golden hair. If you only look at the back and stand a little further away, you might really think it is a blonde girl.
Gary started with Arcanine. After all, the field is an ice field, and the rival is likely to send out Ice-type Pokémon. Fire-type Pokémon just counter Ice-type Pokémon.
And Gary also predicted correctly. Kawase really started with an Ice-type Pokémon, which was just countered by Arcanine.
"Kawase used Jynx, and Gary used Arcanine to fight. Arcanine has the advantage in attributes," the host introduced the Pokémon sent by the two players.
- [LV40 Jynx♀/Gym]
- [LV43 Arcanine♂/Gym]
The levels of the two Pokémon are similar. Gary was also surprised by Kawase's strength. The first Pokémon was level 40.
Is this still the Indigo Plateau Conference that Gary remembered?
"Jynx, use Psychic," Kawase took the initiative to attack.
Jynx's eyes glowed blue, and a wave of telekinesis burst out, trying to restrain Arcanine's body, but Arcanine was very strong and used its own strength to resist, making Jynx unable to move Arcanine's body.
"Flamethrower!" Gary ordered.
Arcanine opened its mouth to unleash Flamethrower, and Jynx had no chance to dodge and was instantly engulfed by the flames.
"Meow!"
Being attacked by the flames, Jynx's Psychic was also interrupted, and cold air burst out from its body, extinguishing the flames, but it had already suffered considerable damage.
"Extreme Speed!"
Swoosh!
Arcanine was covered by the power of wind and rushed towards Jynx quickly.
Without giving Jynx any time to react, it knocked Jynx out with one headbutt and then spat up flames.
Bang!!
The flames engulfed Jynx again, and when Jynx fell from the air, it lost consciousness.
"Jynx has lost the ability to fight!" the referee announced.
The battle lasted less than a minute, and Arcanine defeated Jynx, which shows that this Jynx is not very strong.
Gary thought Jynx was level 40 and had some strength.
It seems that even if the Pokémon level has increased, there is still a certain gap between the two sides. It may be due to insufficient training.
On the electronic screen in the stadium, one of the three red lights under Kawase's avatar went out, leaving only two lights.
"Kawase only has two Pokémon left. What Pokémon will he use to deal with Gary's Arcanine next?"
After speaking, Kawase took out a Poké Ball and threw it out.
"For Arcanine, it's up to you. Go ahead, Poliwrath!"
Great!
A Poliwrath with a strong blue body and black and white spiral patterns on its belly appeared.
"Kawase's second Pokémon is Poliwrath, which counters Arcanine in terms of attributes. I wonder how Gary will deal with it," the host announced.
- [LV38 Poliwrath♂/Gym]
"Come back and rest," Gary decisively recalled Arcanine. It's not that Arcanine can't defeat this Poliwrath, but there's no need to waste time.
Although Arcanine is at a high level, fighting on the ice field, coupled with the attribute disadvantage, it is very likely to capsize.
Gary knows that the ice field is not very solid, and a few fire skills can melt the ice field.
"Gary took back Arcanine, and I don't know what Pokémon he will send to fight next."
Gary took a Poké Ball from the display on his belt and threw it.
"Go, Annihilape!"
Great!
- [LV47 Annihilape♂/Quasi-Elite]
The Annihilape with light gray hair all over its body appeared.
The Annihilape exuded an arrogant aura, making all creatures who saw it feel that it was angry and dared not approach it.
"What Pokémon is this?" Kawase was confused when she saw this Pokémon. She didn't recognize the Pokémon in front of her at all, and she didn't even know what type it was.
"Oh... The Pokémon sent by player Gary is the extremely rare Annihilape. It is the evolution of Primeape. It is said that the evolution method has been studied by Professor Oak," the host exclaimed.
"The evolution of Primeape is the Fighting type," Kawase thought.
"Use Bubble Beam!" Kawase ordered.
Poliwrath immediately ejected Bubble Beam, and the Spit Up Bubble was like a normal bullet, shooting at the Annihilape at a rapid speed.
"Fury Swipes!" Gary commanded.
The Annihilape kept waving its claws and rushing forward. Rather than waving and grabbing, it was better to say that the Annihilape was using Comet Punch to blow up all the bubbles that were shot.
"If you want to fight in close combat, who's afraid of who?" Seeing that the Annihilape kept approaching, it was obvious that it wanted to fight in close combat, and Kawase would not admit defeat, and said: "Dynamic Punch!"
"Gu Gua!"
Poliwrath immediately rushed forward, raised its fist, and punched out.
The Dynamic Punch shining with white light hit the head of the Annihilape, and the fist went straight through.
