Pokemon: This Gary is Very Different

"Gary, I also got the Feather Badge!"

After the Wing Carnival ended, Ash had a gym challenge with Winona, the gym leader of the Fortree Gym.

In the end, Ash's Swellow defeated Winona's Shiny Swellow and successfully obtained the Feather Badge.

After obtaining the Feather Badge, Ash happily shared his joy with Gary.

"Congratulations, Ash!"

Of course, Gary was not stingy with his congratulations.

After receiving the congratulations from his rival Gary, Ash became even happier.

"By the way, Gary, where are we going next?"

After watching Ash's gym challenge, May, who was standing next to him, began to ask Gary about their next itinerary.

"Well..."

Faced with May's question, Gary did not answer immediately. After thinking for a while, he looked at Ash.

"Ash, what are your plans next?"

"Of course, we'll go to the next gym city and complete the gym challenge!"

Faced with Gary's question, Ash answered without hesitation.

In Ash's mind, he still thinks that the gym challenge is the most important thing so far.

"Uh..."

After hearing Ash's answer, Gary's forehead also had a black line, and then he looked at Ash, who was very determined, speechlessly.

"Sure enough, we shouldn't have too much hope for Ash."

After looking at Ash helplessly, Gary turned his eyes to Brock, who was responsible for the logistics of Ash's team.

"Brock, what are your plans next?"

Faced with Gary's question, Brock held his chin, thought for a while, and said, "We should go to Slateport City next because there will be a Contest there, and I think May should sign up to participate."

"Yes, we are going to Slateport City."

After hearing that Slateport City will hold a Contest, May immediately nodded and agreed with Brock.

"We are going to Slateport City."

After hearing Brock's plan, Gary thought carefully for a while and said, "Before going to Slateport City, Ash, do you mind going to Larousse City?"

"Larousse City? What is this place?"

This is the first time Ash has heard of this city, so he is a little confused.

"Ash, you don't even know such a famous Larousse City?"

Max was very surprised by Ash's confusion.

"I don't know."

After shaking his head, Ash looked at Gary and asked for the answer he wanted: "Gary, what exactly is this Larousse City?"

"Ash, you are still the same!"

Gary could only say helplessly after Ash's personality and behavior remained the same.

Then Gary straightened his face and began to explain some of the situations in Larousse City to Ash.

"Larousse City is a city located near Slateport City. Compared with other cities in the Hoenn region, the technology in Larousse City is particularly advanced. It is even a famous high-tech city in the world."

"So that's it!"

After listening to Gary's explanation, Ash also had some simple understanding of Larousse City.

"But I still have to challenge the next gym, and May is also preparing to participate in the Contest in Slateport City."

Ash, who was originally very interested in Larousse City, became more hesitant when he considered that he had to challenge the gym and May also had to participate in the Slateport Contest.

"Yes."

May also nodded repeatedly. At this point, it is more important to participate in the Contest.

"But, I really want to go to Larousse City!"

Compared to Ash and May who don't want to go, Max is looking forward to the next trip to Larousse City.

"But..."

However, before May finished speaking, Hilda interrupted her: "May, the Slateport Contest will be held for a long time. You won't stay there all the time."

"And I heard that Larousse City has a lot of delicious food."

Rosa, who was standing by, also used delicious food to tempt Brock.

"Delicious food!"

The result was not beyond Rosa and Hilda's expectations. After hearing that there was delicious food in Larousse City, May changed her mind instantly.

"Then let's go to Larousse City!"

"But..."

But Ash still wanted to challenge the next gym, so he was a little reluctant to go to Larousse City.

"I heard that there is a Battle Tower in Larousse City."

Gary knew what Ash liked, so he deliberately mentioned the Battle Tower.

"Battle Tower?"

After hearing the word battle, Ash also became interested.

"It is a facility for Pokémon battles. Trainers can sign up and then participate in Pokémon battles under the gaze of many spectators."

After seeing Ash take the bait, Gary's mouth corners first slightly raised, and then continued to entice Ash.

"And I heard that the Battle Tower in Larousse City can also support double battles."

"Double battles!"

Ash, who loves Pokémon battles very much, had his eyes light up immediately after hearing that the Battle Tower supports double battles.

"How about it? Are you interested?"

After seeing Ash's eyes shining, Gary smiled slightly.

"Of course, let's go to Larousse City first!"

Since Larousse City has a Battle Tower, Ash's goal can be Larousse City.

"Well, let's go to Larousse City together!"

After seeing Ash agree, Gary and the others temporarily teamed up with Ash and his friends, preparing to leave Fortree City together and then go to the high-tech city, Larousse City.

"You are really good, Gary!"

After persuading the stubborn Ash, Rosa also whispered in Gary's ear and gave him a thumbs up.

In Rosa's impression, Ash now is a typical stubborn person.

In addition to Rosa, Hilda, Brock, May, and Max all gave thumbs up to Gary who could persuade Ash.

"It's easy, easy to grasp!"

After saying that, Gary made an OK gesture to everyone and said with a smile.

Having grown up with Ash, and with the help of his past life memories, Gary also knows Ash's "weakness."

After completing the challenge of the Fortree Gym, Gary and his companions headed towards Larousse City with Ash and his friends.

"I think that guy should be here soon!"

When looking towards Larousse City, a figure also appeared in Gary's mind.

"I really want to see you soon!"
