"Master, I'm so humbled." After winning, Gary said modestly, "If it weren't for the attribute advantage of Annihilape, I would have lost to Machamp."
Annihilape was able to win because of its own attribute advantage and the special skill of Rage Fist otherwise, it would not have been so easy to defeat Chuck's Machamp.
"I really underestimated you. You won this gym match." Chuck didn't feel disappointed. As a martial arts master, his mind had long been calm.
After the battle, Chuck handed the Storm Badge to Gary.
[Ding! Mission completed reward has been sent to the space backpack.]
The skill rewarded this time is not very good. The skill Aura Sphere can be taught, but not many Pokémon can learn it. The Pokémon in Gary's hand can only learn it.
After getting the badge, Gary hurried to the Pokémon Center to treat the two Pokémon.
Gary has now collected 6 badges from the Johto Region, and there are still the Glacier Badge and Rising Badge left. The strength of these two gym leaders is not weak.
Mahogany Gym leader Pryce is a trainer specializing in Ice-type Pokémon.
His own strength is very strong.
Even in the special episode, Pryce is a Mega BOSS.
He captured Ho-Oh and Lugia twice by himself.
His ultimate goal is to capture Celebi and let Celebi take him back to the past to save his beloved Lapras.
However, in the animation, Pryce's strength is not so terrifying, and his own experience is also quite strange.
When he was young, he lost to a Trainer and was burned by a Charmander.
So, his Pokémon Piloswine went out to find herbs to treat the burns but was frozen in a cave.
It was not until Ash went to Mahogany Town that Piloswine was rescued and Pryce's heart knot was untied.
Clair, the gym leader of Blackthorn, is Lance's cousin and a member of the Dragon Family.
She uses Dragon-type Pokémon and is considered the most powerful gym in the Johto Region. Of course, that was before Clair's grandfather died.
After Clair inherited the position of gym leader, the title of the strongest gym must be put in double quotation marks.
"Do you want to get involved in the Whirl Islands?" Gary looked at the direction of the sea, hesitating whether to intervene in the Whirl Islands.
According to Ash's travel experience, when they challenged the Olivine Gym, the Ampharos of the lighthouse was sick, and so Jasmine told them to came to Cianwood City to get medicine. On the way back, they met a mother and son Lugia.
Although Lugia is the god of the sea, on par with Ho-Oh, there is not only one Lugia in the world. Lugia exists in populations and can reproduce.
Gary is not very interested in Legendary Pokémon.
After all, when he played the game before, he was tired of catching them, but catching the three Legendary Birds triggered the system's tasks.
If Lugia is captured, it will definitely trigger the tasks issued by the system.
Referring to the tasks issued by catching the three Legendary Birds, as long as you catch one, you will be rewarded with a Gold Bottle Cap.
If you catch Lugia, you will be rewarded with a crown of the gods.
Besides, there are many ways to capture Lugia. After catching it, you can just release it. As long as the system releases the task, it will be fine.
"Go and give it a try." Gary decided to give it a shot. After all, if the system task is triggered, it is very likely to get a reward. There is no reason not to intervene.
After deciding where to go next and waiting for Nurse Joy to heal the Pokémon, Gary returned to the Cianwood Gym again and asked Master Chuck to teach his Pokémon martial arts.
"That's fine." Chuck asked, "But... are you sure you don't want to stay?"
There is no problem teaching Gary's Pokémon to learn fighting skills. After all, many Trainers have come to become his apprentices and asked Chuck to teach their Pokémon.
As Chuck's apprentice, Gary would not refuse this request, but during normal teaching, Trainers would stay in the gym and practice with their Pokémon together, which would definitely deepen the bond between Pokémon and Trainer.
"I still need to collect badges.
I will come over after I have collected all the badges.
I would like to trouble Master and Master's Wife to take care of them during this period."
Gary said.
Seeing Gary say this, Chuck had no objection and continued to ask, "Besides Annihilape, what are the other two Pokémon?"
"Come out, all of you." Gary took out three Poké Balls and opened them, releasing Annihilape, Machamp, and Heracross.
"Oh... Machamp... Heracross!" Chuck was also surprised when he saw the other two Pokémon released by Gary.
He thought Gary's Fighting Pokémon was only Annihilape, but he didn't expect there were two more, and these two Fighting Pokémon were not weak.
Gary originally planned to entrust Machamp and Heracross to Chuck to help teach, but thinking that Annihilape is also a Fighting Pokémon, it can also learn from Chuck. It's good to learn more things.
"You three will study with the master for two months. You must listen to the master. After two months, I will come to pick you up." Gary said.
"Annihilape!"
"Heracross!"
"Machamp!"
The three Pokémon nodded. Gary had told them about this before, so they were prepared and didn't feel awkward. They also wanted to improve their fighting skills here.
"Your three Pokémon are all good. I will train them well. In two months, I will show you a different Pokémon." Seeing the three Pokémon so motivated, Chuck was also immediately motivated.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Master."
Gary believed in Chuck's teaching ability and was relieved to hand over the Pokémon to Chuck.
After paying the fee, Gary set off for the Whirl Islands at the end of the day.
Because Ash and his group met Lugia at Silver Rock Island, Gary planned to wait for Ash and his group to come.
...!
It took Gary 5 days to reach Silver Rock Island.
The city on Silver Rock Island is called Kasado City, and there are many silver feather-shaped goods inside.
Because Lugia lives in the Whirl Islands area, the cities on the surrounding archipelagos have legends about the silver mysterious Pokémon, and Silver Rock Island is no exception.
Gary stayed at the Pokémon Center in the city and spent the rest of his time wandering around the city, occasionally going to the wild.
Days passed, and Gary patrolled the suburbs every day. During this time, Gary also found Oliver's home.
As for why he wanted to find Oliver, it was naturally because in the original plot, Oliver was the first to contact Lugia.
If you want to not miss the plot, you have to follow him closely. Gary himself did not follow.
He let Gengar quietly lurk around Oliver.
As expected, Oliver had already contacted little Lugia at this time and they often secretly played together.
