Chapter 7: 7. Gary
Facts have proved that Ash's judgment was correct.
Although Pikachu still lacks the power, its tail itself is a very important part of its body.
It only took him two days to complete the learning of Iron Tail. Of course, it only meant that it could be use the basic version. To use it freely, it needed practice in actual combat.
What really makes Ash satisfied is Charizard with the forced training device. It has completely adapted to the heavy and hard restraints of Macho Brace!
"Come again!"
Ash fists shone with blue light. Facing Charizard's claws, he advanced forward without retreating and punched him.
However, at this moment, Charizard's claws suddenly changed.
"Huh?"
Ash's Aura sensed it in time and he quickly dodged away.
I saw that cyan dragon energy began to gather on Charizard's claws, flashing with sharp and dazzling cyan light!
Wow!
That's Dragon Claw. After Ash avoided it, it pierced the rock wall behind him.
"Stop!"
Ash quickly called a stop. If the claw had hit him just now, he would have been seriously injured even with the power of the Aura Defense.
Brock and Misty have already rushed over.
"Ash, what was that just now?"
Ash looked at Charizard who was also a little confused, "Charizard, you must have learned Dragon Claw, it is a Dragon Type move!"
"Dragon Claw! It's so powerful!" Misty has a bit of a starry eye, and that move was really amazing.
"Charizard, get familiar with Dragon Claw. This special training ends here!" With that said, Ash took out the mandatory training device on Charizard.
"Roar!"
The suppressed power recovered, Charizard went into a wild revelry, Flamethrower sprayed as much as he could, and the pillar of fire was more than five meters high.
Shaking his arms, Charizard felt stronger than ever.
"Hey, what is this?"
Brock on the side suddenly exclaimed. In his hand, he was holding a beautiful-looking piece of broken stone.
"This looks like the necklace around Miss Rochelle's neck, doesn't it?" Misty's eyes were full of surprise.
Ash took the gravel from Brock's hand and said, "It seems we are really lucky. Charizards newly learned Dragon Claw was able to find this piece of agate!"
"Great, now we can use this!" Misty looked at Charizard and said happily, "Hey, why does it feel like Charizard has become a little taller?"
Charizard is indeed taller, and the effect of Macho Brace seems to be very good, after all it was made by the System.
Not only that, the bonding value between Ash and it has also reached 175/255. The results of this special training are obviously very good.
After Charizard became more familiar with the newly learned Dragon Claw, Ash and his team packed up their gears and found Rochelle again with the piece of agate they found.
"Miss Rochelle, it is destiny's call, it has let us meet once again!"
Rochelle has been on the other side of the valley these days, training a young Donphan to find agates.
The moment he saw her, Brock's figure suddenly disappeared from Ash's side and appeared in front of Miss Rochelle.
Then, Misty also disappeared and took Brock away.
"Ash, are you leaving?" Seeing the look of Ash and his group, Rochelle knew they were leaving.
"Yes, Miss Rochelle, we found this. Is this agate?" Ash handed the broken stone to Rochelle.
This is really agate, and the quality is very good, which surprised Rochelle. Plot.
When asked how Ash and his team found this agate, Rochelle also marveled at the good luck of Ash and Charizard.
Since Rochelle agreed to free processing, Ash was not polite.
This agate was just enough to make two pendants. Ash gave one to Misty, and the other, of course, to his mother, Delia.
Misty seems to really love it and immediately put it on and thanked Ash.
"Then, farewell!"
. . . . . . .
After bidding farewell to Rochelle and passing through the Donphan Valley, Ash and his group got lost again, unsurprisingly.
Although Ash has the power of a Aura Guardian to detect the direction, there is obviously something ghostly about this place!
Real ghost!
"Ash, please think of a something quickly, I don't want to sleep in this kind of forest!"
It was getting dark, and although she was used to sleeping in the wild, in this eerie-looking forest, strange things would appear at any time, and Misty really couldn't accept it.
Even she didn't realize it herself, but she slowly began to rely on Ash and started to have some feelings toward him.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, a cold laughter suddenly came from the sound of wind in the forest.
"ah!!"
Misty subconsciously hugged Ash's arm. She was most afraid of such a thing. Ash blushed.
Not only that, they clearly saw strange faces appearing on the trunks of the big trees around them.
"Pikachu, that direction, Discharge!"
With a flash of blue light, Ash decisively issued an attack order in the direction where he sensed the strange waveguide.
"Hahahaha!"
Sure enough, there seemed to be nothing on the tree trunk in that direction, but Thunder Shock hit it.
But after a cry of pain, there was another cold laughter.
"Hmph, Pikachu, it's that direction this time!"
Ash pointed in another direction, and sure enough, he hit again.
"That's Gengar, Haunter, and Gastly!" This time, Ash saw clearly the figure passing by.
They are all Ghost-type Pokémon!
"Misty, don't be afraid, this is all an illusion caused by these Ghost Pokémon!" Ash gently comforted Misty beside him.
"Ash, please, is there anything you can do?"
"I can only find the auras of these Ghost Pokémon, but I can't decipher these illusions. If only there were Pokémon that could use Foresight!"
Ash smiled bitterly.
"Ash, it seems that you have grown a lot!" A voice came out from the depths of the forest.
Ash is very familiar with this voice. "Gary, is that you?"
That figure is indeed Gary, Ash's rival, "I didn't expect to see you here!"
At Gary's feet, there is a little owl Pokémon standing on one foot.
"Hoothoot?"
Obviously, Gary wants to use this Hoothoot's Foresight move to go through the illusion in this forest.
"To get out of this confusing forest, you need the guidance of Hoothoot!" Gary explained.
Hearing this, Ash nodded, "Then Gary, let's go together and leave this forest first, then let's fight tomorrow, 1VS1!"
"Can!"
