"Okay, let's begin!"
"Hey~, start what?"
While Serena was completely bewildered, somehow, following a shout from Ah Si, Ash and his friends followed Ah Si's apprentices to the dining table in the gym.
Everyone started eating together enthusiastically.
Serena was still completely confused when a large bowl of rice that looked like mashed potatoes mixed with salad appeared in front of her.
"Eat big mouthfuls, eat to your heart's content, don't be shy!" Ah Si sat boldly in the main seat, picked up a large rice ladle, and added another large portion to everyone's rice bowl.
"That's how you get the physique and strength to battle Pokémon: eat well, move around, and then eat again!"
Seeing that everyone around her had already started eating enthusiastically, even Ash was eating without any hesitation, Serena could only helplessly pick up her spoon.
"This must be something that happens frequently when traveling." The girl decided to join in so that she could travel better with her sweetheart.
She scooped up a spoonful of mashed potatoes and put it in her mouth, and to her surprise, it tasted surprisingly good. "So delicious!"
"Moreover, this meal is low in fat and high in protein, and it's easy to absorb. This kind of food is perfect for replenishing the energy of trainers and Pokémon."
Xiao Zhi, who is also a skilled cook, realized after a few bites that this dish was extraordinary.
"You're an expert. You must be the trainer who came to take on this challenge?"
A beautiful married woman with red hair arrived, wearing a gentle smile and carrying a large bowl of mashed potatoes.
"Please don't be shy, there's plenty of food. After you've eaten your fill, please do your best to defeat my husband."
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Madam, do you have some kind of conflict with your husband?
However, Xiao Zhi was very interested in the mashed potato recipe made by Mrs. Si, so he asked her for it.
The other party was also quite generous and did not keep anything to themselves.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Super Mashed Potato Recipe +1 (Provides a large amount of satiety; long-term use will have a chance to increase stamina attribute value!)]
Ash returned quite satisfied with an unexpected bonus.
This time, thanks to Ah Si's hospitality, Xiao Zhi and his friends were spared the trouble of having lunch.
Especially Ash, who ate a whole pot of rice by himself, truly living up to his reputation as a glutton.
This left the surrounding apprentices speechless.
"Such a large appetite is also proof of strength." Ah Si admired Xiao Zhi even more.
"Now that you're full, let's do some post-meal exercise. Ash, you can start battling!" Ah Si sat cross-legged in his main seat, then slowly stood up with an unfathomable air about him.
He challenged Ash to a battle, which made the surrounding students' eyes light up.
Unfortunately, Xiao Zhi and the others had already seen how pathetic Ah Si looked after running, crawling like dogs, so they couldn't muster any respect for him.
However, he is indeed a generous and straightforward person.
"Okay, let's do it!"
The group quickly arrived at the arena in the dojo.
Serena is really looking forward to this gym battle. She came out on a trip to find the path she wants to take in the future.
So she really wanted to see what a real Pokémon Trainer was like.
The referee quickly took his position. "Only two Pokémon can be used, and only the challenger can switch Pokémon."
"Then, the gym challenge officially begins!"
This is a Fighting-type gym, so the first Pokémon Ah Si sent out was naturally a Fighting-type Pokémon.
"Defeat your opponent with overwhelming force, fast-swimming frog!"
"Wow, it's a fast breaststroke!"
Does the Poliwrath also have fighting attributes?
Serena, who came from Kalos, doesn't know much about the Pokémon in the Kanto and Johto regions, and of course, she doesn't know much about the Pokémon in her own Kalos region either.
"That's right. Although it is a pure water type in the Poliwag and Politoed stages, it will gain a fighting type when it evolves into its final form, Politoed."
"Poliwrath is the strongest Water-type Pokémon."
Speaking of this, Xiaoxia suddenly remembered that she still had a "true water-type strongman".
Normally, her Luli is the fixed battle fodder for Ash's newly recruited Kumamon apprentice, Kumamon, in short, a fixed cannon.
It's kind of like the relationship between their trainers. (Xiaoxia: Not at all!)
The important Whirlpool Islands tour is about to begin, so Xiaoxia quickly released it to observe the fighting style of the water-type fighting strongman.
Ash quickly decided on his choice when he saw that the opposing team had sent out Poliwrath.
"A Water-type Pokémon, huh? Then you're the one I should use! Go, Xiong Er!"
When battling Fighting-type Pokémon, the real romance is to simply use the same Fighting-type Pokémon to clash head-on.
Moreover, the opponent is a Water-type Pokémon, so sending out Xiong Er can also help you farm the number of battles required for its mission.
"Bee~ Ah~"
As soon as he appeared, Xiong Er yawned, looking sleepy and not yet awake.
The second bear is very different in personality from the first bear. He is usually lazy and only becomes very enthusiastic when it comes to eating honey.
However, precisely because Ash clearly controls the supply of honey, it usually has to obediently follow Ash to battle against Water-type Pokémon.
Especially since Xiaoxia's main training target is the Mosquito Coil Frog, and it is also Xiong Er's usual opponent.
Therefore, it has a wealth of experience battling against this type of Pokémon.
"If Xiong Er gets serious and loses this round, you won't get a single drop of honey for the next seven days!"
"Ugh!?"
After being told that by Xiaozhi, Xiong Er finally got serious and assumed a fighting stance.
"Ash's Pokémon is so cute!" Serena loves cute Pokémon the most.
"Yeah, it's like a plush toy, but it will change drastically after it evolves, just like Ash after he bulges out his muscles."
After hearing Xiaoxia's words, Serena imagined it for a moment and immediately showed a sweet smile.
"That's cute too."
"Hey~" Xiaoxia suddenly realized that she had underestimated Serena.
"This is a rare Pokémon, but we won't lose."
Ah Si, who had trained in the Galar region for a long time, was no stranger to Xiong's apprentice. He patted his chest, igniting his fighting spirit.
"Go, fast-swimming frog! Show some respect to a rare opponent, greet them with a flurry of slaps!"
The fast-swimming frog opposite was clearly well-trained, and its large paws slammed towards the bear apprentice.
The powerful slaps cut through the air with a sonic boom, and the slaps landed five times in a row, leaving Xiong Er unable to dodge.
It was immediately struck violently on both sides of its face with a series of slaps, and after being knocked away, it fell heavily to the ground.
"Stand up, Xiong Er! This little attack won't take you down."
The Frog's series of slaps were quite powerful, but it wasn't enough to defeat Ash's apprentice in one blow. With his obsession with honey, the bear roared and used a carp leap to jump up nimbly.
"Use the Swallow Return!"
This move was something Xiong Er practiced when he was fighting with Xiao Hei for honey. He never expected it would come in so handy now that he was challenging a Fighting-type gym.
"Bah!"
With a quick start, Xiong Er leaped up nimbly, drawing an arc in the air before disappearing instantly, only to suddenly reappear behind the fast-swimming frog.
The Swallow Return successfully hit the back of the fast-swimming frog, with outstanding effect!
"A pretty sharp attack. You've trained this Pokémon very well, Ash." Ash nodded in agreement.
Although Xiong's apprentice seemed carefree at first, he turned out to be incredibly brave when he got serious in battle.
"But we're not easy to defeat either, the fast-swimming frog water cannon!"
"Bear Two, get out of the way!"
A thick jet of water immediately shot out from the center of the mosquito coil on Poliwrath's belly, but Ash's Kushner was no pushover either.
Having been trained by the fighting master Ash, Xiong Er has excellent control over its body and extremely strong leg muscles.
It quickly dodged the water cannon attack with a backflip, and then immediately leaped high into the air onto the head of the fast-swimming frog.
"Use Brick Break now!"
With his beast-like instincts, Ash seized the opportunity once again.
The falling tile struck the fast-swimming frog hard on the head; the blow was quite powerful.
"The fast-swimming frog is unable to fight!"
"Well done, Xiong Er. I'll allow you to have some honey this once."
Xiao Zhi won the first round, and Xiong Er was quite happy, as it was assured that it would have enough honey for the next week.
[Ding! Bear Apprentice: Favorability +2; Intimacy +1]
"Very good. It seems you have quite a lot of experience battling Pokémon like Poliwrath."
"Sigh, Xia, why do you look so sad?"
Serena, who was celebrating Ash's victory in the first round, unexpectedly noticed Misty standing to the side with a bitter expression, and she even stopped clapping.
"Of course! Otherwise, how do you think Ash and his friends gained their battle experience?"
"They all came from battling me. I haven't won a single game against Poliwag —"
"Such a thing is true," Serena thought again, "but after all, it's Ash. He's always been this outstanding."
"That was a great battle, so this will be my second one."
"Go forth, my mighty general, Macho!" Ah Si dispatched Macho O, the one he'd been passionately tumbling with on the beach that morning.
"Looks like a rather formidable opponent." After all, he's the Gym Leader's ace, and Serena looked at Ash and Kuma with some concern.
"Hao Li, use your hand chop on me!"
As soon as it appeared, Machamp immediately turned around and began violently pounding its trainer's chest, the blows making a loud cracking sound.
Ah Si made sounds like "uh uh ah ah" that were easy to misunderstand, and then he also used a hand chop to strike Hao Li.
"How come the trainers and Pokémon are fighting each other before the battle has even started?" Misty and Serena were dumbfounded.
"What are you doing?"
"It's just about using hitting each other before the match to motivate each other." Ash understood the other's purpose immediately.
This is how philosophers, no, fighters are.
I'm not an SM enthusiast at all, hmph!
After a heated physical confrontation, Haoli returned to the battlefield.
Its gaze had become quite intense and aggressive, and Xiong Er was immediately intimidated by it.
What kind of manual intimidation?
"Bah~" Xiong Er felt that he had tried his best today and turned to look at Xiao Zhi.
But unfortunately, Ash shook his head at it, "Cheer up and keep fighting with all your might, Xiong Er!"
Ash sent out Kumamon to train it; he wouldn't replace it as soon as it encountered a strong opponent.
There was no other way but for Xiong's apprentice to grit his teeth and continue.
"Aim at the opponent's weakness and use Swallow Return!"
Xiong Er started running again, and his figure disappeared from the battlefield in an instant.
"Only those who can remain calm are true generals—" Ah Si crossed his arms, feeling the turbulence in the air.
"At that very moment, Hawley turned and intercepted the attack!"
The Swallow Return Attack was anticipated by the opponent, and Hao Li seized the opportunity when Xiong Er was about to launch a formal attack and turned around.
Because of the Swallow Return attack, the bear disciple crashed directly into the opponent's arms.
Although it caused damage, it was also successfully grabbed by the other party.
The little bear, held tightly in Hao Li's arms, felt the warmth of the strong body of the big brother for the first time today.
His head was tightly squeezed between Haoli's two strong pectoral muscles.
Sigh, if word gets out, I wonder how many little wood spirits in the capital will envy us. (Bear Apprentice: No!!!)
"Now! Magnum Hell Rolls!"
The experienced Ah Si wouldn't let this important opportunity slip by, and immediately issued the order.
Hao Li's continuous tumbling left Xiong's apprentice dizzy and disoriented, until finally he was violently tossed aside by his opponent.
After an elegant parabola, it crashed headfirst into the battlefield.
"Bah~!"
"Apprentice Bear, incapacitated!"
Now both sides have lost one Pokémon.
"You did pretty well, now get some rest." Ash took it off the field and handed it over to Misty and the others to take care of for the time being.
Ash was already satisfied with Kuma's performance today, as he was able to defeat Poliwrath.
"Beep~" Xiong Er struggled to lift its head, trying to remind Xiao Zhi not to forget about the honey.
It made a huge sacrifice today.
"I understand. Now you should take a good look at how a mature fighter should fight."
Back on the battlefield, Ash took out a new Poké Ball.
"I choose you, Martial Arts Master Bear!"
Next, Ash decided to send out Big Bear.
It's another familiar set of boxing moves, but this time the ending isn't "White Crane Spreads Wings".
Ever since he was severely punished by Moon Bear with the Flame Orb last time, Big Bear has learned his lesson.
Now, it always starts its appearance with a steady backbend and horse stance, making sure it never stands on one leg on the battlefield.
The appearance of Martial Arts Master Xiong greatly excited Ah Si on the other side.
"What a powerful Pokémon."
He even secretly memorized Xiong Da's entrance moves.
"That was awesome! Haoli and I want to do that next time!"
The aesthetic sense of the Azure Dojo's owner is also disastrous.
"Macho Might use close-quarters combat!"
Machamp charged forward, but Urshifu remained motionless, and Ash remained remarkably calm.
They kept a close eye on Hao Li's movements on the other side.
"Now! Martial Arts Bear Master Dark Nether Strike!"
Xiong Da acted immediately, rushing into Hao Li's arms and delivering a powerful blow with his well-honed fist.
It enjoys this kind of merciless fighting; a single, decisive blow is Xiong Da's motto.
With a powerful punch, Hao Li was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
The attack hit the vital point!
"What? What a powerful attack!" Ah Si exclaimed in disbelief.
Because Machoke had just taken a hit from Bear's apprentice's elementally countered Swallow Return, and the counter-damage from Hell Roll had also caused it a lot of damage.
Now, Martial Arts Master Xiong unleashed another powerful Dark Nether Strike, striking a vital point, and Hao Li immediately collapsed to the ground, losing his ability to fight.
After running over and carefully checking the situation, the referee immediately waved his flag.
"Ash from Pallet Town has won this match!"
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the main quest: Strike Badge! : Please defeat Azure Gym Leader Asa]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +5000; Stamina +2; Attack +2; Free Attribute Points +3]
"That was a great battle, I lost." Ah Si came over and handed the batting badge to Ash.
[Strike Badge: When you have this badge, the power of your melee skills increases by 5%]
Ash has finally collected all 5 badges after putting them away.
However, Ash noticed that his battle with Ash had drawn almost everyone in the gym to the area.
But Ash couldn't spot the cute little gray-haired creature in the crowd.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Si, did you know that Cai Dou is still here?"
"Oh, do you know the young lady?"
"Young Miss————"
"Haha, Cai Dou is our master's daughter. We brothers have always liked to call her Miss since we were little."
"She did stay here for a period of time for a spiritual retreat."
"She is a remarkable young woman. She is diligent in her cultivation and her strength is improving every day. I really look forward to seeing how high she can lead our sect to the future."
