Pokemon: This Gary is Very Different

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Challenge from Ash, Part 1



---

"Gary, we haven't battled in a long time. Before we leave, let's have an exciting match!"

 

Time quickly passed, and the next day arrived. Gary was about to say goodbye to his grandfather, Professor Oak, Professor Birch, and others to continue his journey in the Hoenn region when Ash suddenly stood up and challenged him.

 

Upon hearing Ash's words, Gary, who had already taken a few steps with Rosa and Hilda, stopped and turned back to look at Ash, who had challenged him.

 

"Oh?"

 

Gary tilted his head and looked at Ash with a smile.

 

"Although I lost to you before coming to the Hoenn region, I will avenge my previous defeat this time!"

 

Ash clenched his fists, expressing his determination to win against Gary.

 

"Since you're so confident, then show me your strength!"

 

Since Ash had already challenged him, Gary had no reason to refuse.

 

"Okay!"

 

After Ash nodded in agreement, he cast his eyes full of fighting spirit on Gary.

 

"You two have been strong rivals since childhood!"

 

Professor Oak couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gary and Ash about to battle.

 

"It seems I'll have the chance to watch a very exciting battle!"

 

Professor Birch also expressed his anticipation.

 

"The battle between Gary and Ash is worth watching."

 

Rosa was also interested at this time: "Maybe Gary will lose to Ash."

 

After saying that, Rosa smiled gently.

 

"It's possible!"

 

Hilda on the side also smiled and nodded, indicating that she recognized this possibility.

 

"You two?"

 

As for Rosa and Hilda, who were teasing him, Gary had no way to deal with them and could only shake his head helplessly.

 

On Ash's side, Brock also gave a rational answer: "Based on Ash's current strength, he's not Gary's opponent."

 

"That's not necessarily true. Ash also defeated my father. Maybe he will win."

 

Max had unwavering trust in his father. He believed that Ash, who defeated his father, might defeat Gary.

 

"That's hard to say, Max."

 

As Norman's child, May gave a different answer: "Don't forget that Gary also defeated my father."

 

"It seems so."

 

Hearing this, Max also remembered this incident, so he showed an awkward but polite smile.

 

"Then I will be the referee for this battle."

 

Since both trainers from Pallet Town were about to fight, and one of them was his grandson, Professor Oak took the initiative to step forward and serve as the referee.

 

After discussing the battle rules with Gary and Ash, Professor Oak stepped forward and announced the battle plan.

 

"What is about to begin is the battle between Gary and Ash. The number of Pokémon that can be used in the battle is three. When all three Pokémon on one side lose their combat ability, the battle ends."

 

Then Professor Oak glanced at Gary and Ash and continued: "Now, please send out your Pokémon!"

 

"I've decided on you, Torkoal!"

 

In the white light of the Poké Ball, a Torkoal spewing black smoke appeared on the open space for the battle.

 

Pokémon: Torkoal

 

Type: Fire

 

Ability: White Smoke

 

Gender: Male

 

Level: 38

 

Moves: Flamethrower, Withdraw, Smokescreen, Flame Wheel, Heat Wave, Overheat, Inferno, Ember...

 

"It's Torkoal!"

 

After reading the data panel of Ash's Torkoal, Gary also had an idea about the Pokémon he would send out.

 

"If the opponent is Torkoal, then it's you, Electabuzz!"

 

The Poké Ball thrown by Gary was instantly opened in the air, and then Gary's Electabuzz, at level 42, appeared on the field.

 

"It's Electabuzz!"

 

After seeing that Gary sent out Electabuzz, Ash immediately took out his Pokédex and looked up the relevant information on Electabuzz.

 

"The battle begins!"

 

With the order of the referee, Professor Oak, Ash immediately launched an attack on Electabuzz.

 

"Torkoal, use Flamethrower on Electabuzz!"

 

After receiving Ash's order, Torkoal opened its mouth and used the Flamethrower move after a puff of black smoke came out of its nose, aiming at the Electabuzz on the opposite side.

 

"Electabuzz, use Thunderbolt!"

 

Electabuzz also emitted a golden light, and a golden Thunderbolt broke through the sky and met the incoming Flamethrower.

 

In just a short while, lightning and fire started clashing over the field.

 

The two fought back and forth, and because the time was still relatively short, it was difficult to tell who was better for a while.

 

"Increase the power!"

 

Gary didn't want to see such a stalemate, so he immediately shouted at Electabuzz.

 

After receiving Gary's order, Electabuzz increased the output of Thunderbolt after a long cry.

 

With the increased output of Electabuzz, even if Torkoal tried its best to resist, it still watched Thunderbolt approaching.

 

"Quick, Torkoal, withdraw into your shell!"

 

At this critical moment, Torkoal obeyed Ash's command, retracted into its shell, and used it to save the day.

 

Although Torkoal was knocked away by Thunderbolt, it was not hurt much under the protection of the shell.

 

"Next is Rapid Spin!"

 

The Torkoal, which retracted into its shell, also obeyed Ash's command, used the Rapid Spin move, turned into a gyroscope, and rushed to the position of Electabuzz.

 

"Electabuzz, stop it!"

 

Facing the attacking Torkoal, Electabuzz immediately made a goalkeeper's move and caught the attacking Torkoal in one fell swoop.

 

But Torkoal still carried a lot of impact force after all, so Electabuzz, which took it head-on, was forced to retreat several steps.

 

But fortunately, there was nothing wrong with its body.

 

"Next is Hammer Arm!"

 

While Torkoal hadn't reacted yet, the fist of Electabuzz, which was as big as a sandbag, immediately hit Torkoal's shell and sent it flying into the air.

 

"The last one is the most powerful Thunder!"

 

At Gary's command, a golden thunder that was thicker than Thunderbolt came out from the body of Electabuzz and went straight to the Torkoal falling in the air.

 

At this critical moment, Ash also realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly shouted to Torkoal: "Torkoal, use Rapid Spin to dodge!"

 

But the result was...
