"Gary !" At this time, the Stephanies of Gary's support club also wailed. Their idol Gary lost to another person, which made them a little hard to accept.
"As expected of Ash..." The other residents nodded slightly. Over the years, they have also seen the struggle between Ash and Gary, and most of them were when Ash won, so after seeing this scene, they didn't have too much trouble. Big surprise, just lamented Ash's talent.
"This time... I lost..." Although Gary is unwilling, he will not play tricks. If he loses, he will lose. He will not deny or deny the ending, as long as he wins back next time. !
"This is not a fair fight..." Ash looked at Gary after letting Pikachu return to his shoulders, and shook his head slightly.
"What do you mean?" Gary frowned, looking at Ash puzzled.
"Pikachu is not the Pokémon cultivated by the Alliance. It was recovered by the Professor not long ago. It seems to have survived outside for a long time..." Ash simply explained, and at the same time touched Pikachu's head, and Pikachu also rubbed against Ash's palm and let out a comfortable Growl.
"A Pokémon that has survived in the wild..." Gary thought about it, then shook his head, "No... this is a fair contest!"
Pikachu has survived in a dangerous environment in the wild, so he has abnormal sensitivity, which can be explained by his performance in the battle just now, but similarly, his Squirtle also has advantages that Pikachu does not have.
After formal training, Squirtle has more standard movements, and is even more proficient in the use of moves, but he did not give full play to Squirtle's advantages in this battle, so he lost to Pikachu.
So in the end, it's not that Squirtle is weaker than Pikachu, after all, both are Earl Dervish level Pokémon, but that he, Gary, didn't perfectly display Squirtle's strength.
"Although I lost this time, next time, the one who wins will definitely be me!" Gary turned his back and stopped looking at Ash, he was going to heal Squirtle.
"No! Next time, I must be the one who wins!" In this regard, Ash did not lose at all, he would never lose to Gary!
"Pikapi !" Pikachu also let out a soft cry, expressing that he would definitely win next time.
Gary didn't say much, and walked towards the Laboratory in silence. The unwillingness in his heart not only didn't kill him, but ignited the flame in his heart. Although he didn't know when he would meet Ash next time, he firmly believed that he would not lose For Ash, he swears!
Seeing Gary leave, the Stephanies from the support club wanted to follow, but they couldn't enter Professor Oak's Laboratory without an invitation. They could only stay outside, glaring at Ash at the same time, while the cute Pikachu Did not receive this treatment.
"Ash! Come on! We are optimistic about you and you must become a great trainer!" The surrounding residents saw that the battle was over, so they prepared to leave, and before leaving, they all cheered for Ash.
"I will! I will definitely not let everyone down!" Ash responded with a smile. His goal is not as simple as becoming a great Trainer, but to set foot on the peak that no one has ever climbed and see the magnificent scenery !
When the crowd gradually dispersed, Ash also prepared to go home to pack his luggage and set off, but he was shocked to find that there was a familiar figure among the crowd.
With a gentle smile and a green backpack in her hand, she waved her hand when Ash found her.
"Mom..." Ash came to his mother Delia in surprise, obviously not expecting Delia to appear here, "You, shouldn't you be working?"
"It was originally, but the boss asked me to leave work early after knowing that today is your day to become a trainer." Delia explained with a smile, while looking at Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.
"By the way, mom, this is Pikachu, a friend I just made!" Seeing that Delia's eyes fell on Pikachu, Ash immediately hugged Pikachu and introduced it to Delia.
"Pi, Pika, Pika..." Pikachu waved his little paw and greeted Delia.
"Hello, Pikachu, Ash... I'll leave it to you in the future." Delia stretched out her free right hand and touched Pikachu's head, but Pikachu didn't resist, and even let out a comfortable cry.
"By the way, this is your luggage. I've packed your clothes and lunch for you. This is for you to eat on the way. I also prepared some food and drinking water..." Delia suddenly remembered her For the purpose, he quickly picked up the backpack, unzipped it, and showed Ash the contents inside.
"This is...?!" Ash saw that Delia took out so many things from this not so big backpack. It lost its original shape, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Spatial backpack?!"
"Hmm..." Delia nodded with a smile, put the things back into the backpack, and handed them to Ash.
"W how could it be..."
Ash looked at Delia in disbelief.
The space backpack was developed not long ago.
It caused a sensation when it came out, but the price is not cheap.
Such a space can hold a cubic Mi's backpack is the price that Delia can save for two years of working on the ranch without eating or drinking, which is 40,000 yuan!
"Hmph..." Delia didn't explain anything, and even kept a smile on her face, but in Ash's eyes, she knew the hard work behind it, her mother, really paid too much for herself, too much... …
"Thank you, Mom..." Ash took the small but heavy backpack and carried it on his back. Although it was just a simple thank you, Ash had already made up his mind.
Thousands of words can't be fully explained with just one thank you, but he doesn't know what to say now.
"Take good care of yourself in the future, be careful on the road, make more friends, don't be too reckless, if you encounter danger, you'd better avoid it..." Delia seemed to know that Ash was about to leave, and she babbled a lot , but Ash didn't feel bored, but felt a sense of reluctance.
"By the way, Mom." Ash remembered something, so he almost interrupted Delia, explaining something about the Alliance subsidy.
"Really? That's really great!" Delia didn't expect to have such a surprise, a pleasant smile appeared on her face, and she was a little relieved in her heart. After buying this backpack, it was almost spent. Delia's savings, just didn't want to worry Ash, so she didn't say it.
And after getting the news, Delia also felt a big stone falling from her heart.
