Since Gary had said so, Ash stopped asking questions, since nothing had happened to him.
"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine, but since we've met, let's have a match."
"Your Arcanine is doing a great job training; my Garchomp just needs some experience!"
Xiao Zhi's addiction to socializing has flared up again. Things that benefit everyone should be welcomed.
But to my surprise—Xiao Mao—refused to allow it!!
"Sorry, Ash, not now."
"I have a competition tomorrow, and it would be troublesome if Arcanine got injured at this time."
"Contest?"
By this time, Gary had already dashed off, and Ash and the others could only follow him into the town.
As soon as Ash entered the town, he found that there were people practicing everywhere.
Just like Gary from before, the trainers stood on a skateboard, pulled forward by Pokémon.
"Xiao Zhi, look!" Xiao Xia picked up a brochure from a basket by the intersection, and Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang quickly went over.
"This is probably the competition that Xiao Mao is going to participate in."
"Pokémon rally racing is a very simple sport."
"Trainers must participate in the competition with their Pokémon. The first trainer to complete the entire course using the reins and skateboard as required will win."
"The final prize is this year's trophy and a Pokémon egg."
So that's why there are so many people practicing here. It turns out that Thunder Town is hosting a Pokémon racing tournament tomorrow.
"A Pokémon egg—" Ash thought it was quite interesting and decided to sign up for the competition.

"But Ash, do you have any equipment?"
The skateboards and reins for the competition are to be prepared by the participants themselves. Xiaoxia also wanted to participate, so she specifically asked Xiaozhi about it.
"Don't worry about that."
When you're missing something, quickly check out the system's amazing toolbox!
However, to Xiao Zhi's surprise, when he looked in the system store, he found that this niche item was actually not available.
"Uh, they should sell them in town, right?"
Just as Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia were having a problem, an uncle passing by overheard their conversation.
"Are you a boy or girl interested in participating in the racing competition?"
This uncle named Dazhao turned out to be the organizer of the race, and he found Xiaozhi to be very kind.
He kindly invited Ash and his friends to his breeding house and lent them his old racing equipment.
Xiao Zhi naturally agreed; saving money was the best thing ever.
"This kind of race is different from the race on the back of a Pokémon. Because of the influence of the reins on directional control, it is an extreme test of the teamwork between the Pokémon and the trainer."
"Furthermore, the runners must carry a substitute similar to a Pokémon egg and run the entire course as fast as possible while ensuring the egg's safety."
"This is because the tournament originated from the days when transportation was inconvenient. If a Pokémon got sick, it had to travel overnight to a distant town to get treatment. The habit left over from that journey led to the formation of this large-scale tournament."
That's what Uncle Dazhao said.
Because of its beautiful environment and stunning natural scenery, Thunder City is a natural breeding ground for Pokémon, and the town is famous for its breeding shops.
This is the right place for Xiaogang!
While Ash and Misty were training their Pokémon racing, Brock skipped and hopped to visit and learn from the various breeding houses.
Soon, it was time for the second day of the competition to begin.
At the starting line of the competition, the contestants released their Pokémon and prepared to start.
To everyone's surprise, Ash sent out a Pikachu.
The small body with a thick rein tied to it, pulling the burly man behind it, looked strange no matter how you looked at it.
"Ash, is it really okay to let Pikachu participate?"
Gary's position was right next to Ash's, so he was the first to notice Pikachu warming up.
"There should be something more suitable," Xiao Mao said, puzzled.
The other contestants around me were either Arcanine or Scyther, all high-speed Pokémon that looked like they could pull people.
"Can Pikachu pull you?" Shigeru knew Pikachu was strong, but this was a racing competition.
Moreover, Ash deliberately went into muscle mode to show off his wildness, which made him seem even more out of place with Pikachu.
"Shigeru, these racing competitions are all about the teamwork between you and your Pokémon."
"And among my Pokémon, none have a better synergy with me than Pikachu!"
He held the reins with one hand, sitting cross-legged on the skateboard like a muscular Buddha statue, not thinking there was anything wrong with what he was doing.
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu nodded in agreement.
"Besides, I felt I was being lenient by sending out Pikachu. Didn't you see that Misty actually sent out Blastoise?"
"What? There's another expert!" Xiao Mao quickly turned his head.
They discovered that what was standing in front of Xiaoxia was indeed a huge Blastoise.
"Why? I didn't come here to win." Xiaoxia also had something to say.
Her main purpose in participating in the competition was to cultivate the chemistry between herself and Blastoise; the competition itself was secondary.
Despite various reasons, Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi still became a beautiful sight in the competition.
"These two crazy people are unbearable." Xiao Mao quickly left, not wanting anyone to know that he knew them.
"Ash, Misty, good luck!"
In the audience, Brock helped look after Togepi and cheered for his friends.
The race is a major event in town.
Thunder Town is a very wealthy town because it has a large number of well-known breeding farms in the industry, and the competition was organized in a very respectable manner.
The contestants' figures were projected onto the big screen.
However, when the camera panned across Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi, it seemed to linger for an unusually long time.
The match began soon after.
The race involves running from the starting point to Uncle Dazai's breeding house, taking the Pokémon egg model from him, and then running back to the starting point.
In the 20-kilometer round trip, Ash and Gary took the lead and rushed out first.
Pikachu's short legs were surprisingly strong, easily pulling Ash along and overtaking the competitors ahead of them one after another.
"What?!"
"How is this possible? Is this still Pikachu?"
The contestants who were surpassed by Pikachu were incredulous.
They only felt a flash of yellow light before their eyes, and Pikachu and Ash were already in front of them.
This exaggerated speed is in no way inferior to that of Growlithe, which is known for its agility.
"Oh my gosh, viewers! The race has barely begun and the leading group has already emerged!" the commentator exclaimed.
This Pikachu really didn't just randomly enter the competition; it and Arcanine are the fastest among all the contestants.
Xiaoxia and Blastoise followed behind, swaying back and forth. Although the giant tortoise was a bit slow on land, it had a good rhythm and was stable.
Surprisingly, Xiaoxia actually managed to run to the middle group at a leisurely pace.
"Good Blastoise, keep moving forward, one step to the left, one step to the right, one step to the left, one step to the right—forward!"
"Kam!"
The synergy between humans and Pokémon is slowly increasing during the competition.
At this moment, at the very front of the track, Shigeru stared at Ash's figure with a flicker in his eyes.
"Wow, that's fast! As expected of Ash."
But Xiao Mao's many days of advance training were not in vain.
After the two sped through the most complex mountain bends, Xiao Mao observed the route.
"Next comes a long straight road, it's time!"
"Arcanine uses Flame Charge, let's accelerate and overtake Ash and the others!"
"Woof!" Arcanine's entire body was quickly covered in flames, and its pace quickened even more as it moved through the flames.
Arcanine, which was initially slightly behind Pikachu, accelerated and pulled ahead by several body lengths.
"Ash, I'll be waiting for you at the finish line!" Gary turned back to greet Ash as he passed him.
In response, Xiao Zhi simply and silently unloaded the burden on his shoulders.
"Hmph, we won't lose! Pikachu, Volt Attack! Charge!"
"Pikachu!"
With its burden lighter, Pikachu's short legs spun again, charging forward madly.
Its entire body was also covered in yellow lightning, and it charged out with a sonic boom, instantly catching up with Arcanine.
Meanwhile, the main group behind Ash and Gary, seeing that the two at the front of the line could still do this, also began to have their Pokémon use speed-up moves.
But unexpectedly, an accident happened to them.
One of the trainers using Blaze tried to use Flame Charge like Gary, but accidentally burned the reins off and was thrown off the train.
There was also a talent who made his Scyther fly, and he was even carried off the track.
"Oh no, this is a huge crisis! Many contestants have been eliminated because they haven't mastered Pokémon moves well enough."
The commentator also added.
"Actually, before racing competitions, it wasn't that no one had tried using skills to accelerate."
"But it's easy for trainers and Pokémon to not have a good grasp of the power and characteristics of moves, and protecting the egg in your arms is the most important thing in this competition."
"That's why people eventually stopped using it by default."
Ash and Gary's training of their Pokémon's skills was naturally quite thorough, so no unexpected situations occurred during the acceleration, and they remained steadily at the forefront of the race.
Other trainers simply cannot reach their level, so they inevitably suffer repeated setbacks and are forced to withdraw from the competition.
This resulted in Xiaoxia and Blastoise, who were originally in the middle of the pack, suddenly overtaking many other players.
He became the third-ranked player after Ash and Gary.
"Yay! Xiaoxia, the most beautiful girl in the universe, succeeds at everything she does!"
As Xiaoxia passed by the big screen, she even made a peace sign.
Ash and Gary, who were in the lead, rushed in front of Uncle Dazai in a flash, giving him a big fright.
After collecting the model eggs, the two of them quickly rushed back together.
But soon, under such high-speed, overloaded running, Growlithe couldn't keep up.
In terms of stamina, Ash's Pikachu has the edge.
"Well done, Pikachu." Ash sat cross-legged on his skateboard, sporting a face reminiscent of Fist of the North Star.
His muscles bulged, firmly protecting the model egg in his arms.
Pikachu continued its relentless charge, the sonic booms accompanied by flashes of electricity on Ash's face, but he maintained his tough-guy expression throughout, showing no emotion whatsoever.
The audience members were all mesmerized by Ash's performance on the big screen.
"Oh my god, it's stiffer than my socks that haven't been washed in decades."
"That's too strong."
"What a tough guy! I'm falling for him!"
Looking at the men around them, Xiao Gang silently moved to the side with Togepi.
"So this is the City Alliance, huh? Excessive fitness really does attract the same sex—"
(Xiao Zhi: Most of the girls like me!)
Towards the end of the race, Pikachu maintained its lead and ultimately crossed the finish line two body lengths ahead of Arcanine.
After the match, Gary came to Ash's side.
"I'm really impressed by you. You managed to win even sitting cross-legged the whole time."
"You and Pikachu are just too strong." Gary and Arcanine were completely convinced.
"It's alright, I guess." Ash proudly raised his head.
In the final rankings, Ash was first, Gary was second, and Misty was surprisingly third.
Ash and Pikachu had a lot of fun participating in the competition after receiving a blue Pokémon egg from Uncle Dazao.
"I wonder what kind of Pokémon will hatch from this egg."
New partners are about to join.

"I just didn't expect that Gary to have improved so much." Ash wasn't surprised that he won, but he was very pleasantly surprised that Gary only lost by two body lengths.
Although Ash and Pikachu were carrying extra weight, it was still quite an achievement for Gary and Arcanine to run this far with Pikachu.
After adjusting his mindset, Xiao Mao's strengths were finally able to be better utilized.
With his own decent training ability and combat talent, plus his grandfather's background and influence.
He is also very good at finding information and scientifically training Pokémon, which has made Gary much better than during his time in the Kanto League.
Ash is now really looking forward to meeting him in the Johto League.
"As my formidable rival, I can't afford to lower myself too much!"
"So, who's really more arrogant, you idiot Ash?"
"Idiot Xiao Mao!"
As the sun set, Gary and Ash waved goodbye, knowing they would see each other again soon.
After the match, Ash and his friends immediately left Thunder City and headed to Brock's destination.
"It's nearby, I can't wait!"
Xiao Gang was extremely excited as he compared the coordinates on the road signs and map.
Back in Thunder City, he learned a lot of new Pokémon training techniques from the enthusiastic owners of the breeding center.
With his current superb skills, I believe he'll have no problem winning over the hearts of the Pokémon he'll be taking care of next.
However, they are now facing some trouble.
A thick fog suddenly rolled in into the forest. After Brock and Ash got together, it seemed as if they had triggered some incredible buff, as the fog was so thick that it lingered for a long time.
In short, they got lost.
Even in the sky, the area within several kilometers was completely shrouded in fog, making it impossible to discern any direction.
As Ash flew down from the sky, he could only shake his head helplessly.
"There's a better chance of finding your way on the ground."
"Oh, what should we do then?"
A major crisis is looming. The agreed-upon time is fast approaching, and Xiao Gang will be heartbroken if he misses out on this huge order.
Being a good husband and mother is tiring too. Brock returned the Pokémon egg he had helped care for to Ash, and Brock was holding his head in distress.
But unexpectedly, a light suddenly appeared in front of Ash and his friends from the fog at the end of the road.
"Found it."
A very pleasant female voice rang out.
As I slowly approached, I was surprised to find a beautiful girl dressed in gorgeous clothes, but with a stereotypical bun hairstyle.
She carried an old-fashioned lantern, followed by a Ninetales, and slowly walked to Ash and his friends' temporary camp.
"Hello, are you Mr. Xiaogang?"
"I am Loko, the maid in charge of taking care of the Nine-Tailed Fox at the mansion. I'm here to pick you up."
With her pleasant voice and gentle smile, Xiao Gang's "older sister radar" was about to go off the charts when faced with such a beautiful older sister.
Immediately, with hearts shining in their eyes, they rushed forward.
"That's right, I am Brock, who dreams of becoming the best Pokémon breeder!"
"Excuse me, beautiful lady, are you a fairy sent by the gods to guide me?"
"My heart has been struck by several arrows of love!"
A string of cheesy pickup lines kept coming out, but Miss Luo Ke on the other side was very well-mannered and just smiled at Xiao Gang.
"This Nine-Tailed Fox is so beautiful!" Xiaoxia exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the suddenly appearing Loke and the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Ash was even more surprised, because in his senses, the aura emanating from the Nine-Tails opposite him was quite unusual.
If I had to compare it, it would be like the Gastly that Ash encountered in the Maiden's Gorge.
However, the little AI sensed that the Nine-Tails had no ill intentions towards them; on the contrary, it was very friendly.
Especially towards Xiaogang, her affection for him was practically off the charts.
"They shouldn't be bad people. Anyway, I just want to get out of this mess."
Ash and his friends arrived at the mansion, led by Loki and Ninetales.
In the thick fog, a large Chinese-style building appeared before them.
