Pokemon: This Gary is Very Different

---

After the couple ice cream incident, Gary and Rosa became closer. Gary was even more shameless and took this opportunity to directly achieve the status of Rosa's boyfriend.

Therefore, since Gary came back from the date with Rosa, the smile on his face has never disappeared.

Although Gary and Rosa have become a couple, the challenge of the gym still needs to continue, so after breakfast, the two held hands and walked towards the direction of Petalburg Gym intimately.

On the way to Petalburg Gym, Rosa looked up and asked Gary beside her: "Gary, do you know anything about Petalburg Gym?"

"Of course I know this."

After hearing Rosa's question, Gary also began to introduce it to her.

"Petalburg Gym is a gym that specializes in Normal-type Pokémon. The gym leader is a man named Norman."

"Norman?"

When Gary mentioned Norman's name, there was a hint of solemnity in his tone, so Rosa asked with more curiosity.

"Mr. Norman is a very powerful trainer. Originally, his family belonged to the Johto region, but later they were invited by the Hoenn League to serve as the gym leader of Petalburg Gym."

"Among all the gym leaders in the Hoenn region today, Petalburg Gym, where Mr. Norman is in charge, can be said to be the strongest gym."

"Petalburg Gym is the strongest gym in the Hoenn region!"

After hearing Gary say that Petalburg Gym is the strongest gym in the Hoenn region, Rosa also showed a surprised expression.

"That's right, and the reason why the Petalburg Gym is called the strongest gym is that Mr. Norman has the strength of the Elite Four, and he is also one of the candidates for the next Elite Four in the Hoenn region."

After nodding, Gary continued.

"I didn't expect Mr. Norman to have the strength of the Elite Four. This is really a bit unbelievable!"

When Rosa learned that Norman had the strength of the Elite Four, she was shocked.

"But don't worry, we are just doing a gym challenge, Mr. Norman will not go all out."

Gary certainly knew what Rosa was worried about, so he comforted her.

"That's good."

After listening to Gary's words, Rosa was relieved.

Although Rosa won the championship of the Unova League, she is still far from the level of the Elite Four.

Just after the two of them finished talking about the Petalburg Gym, they coincidentally arrived at the door of the Petalburg Gym.

"Is this the Petalburg Gym? It doesn't look like it!"

Looking at the Petalburg Gym, which looked like a civilian house, if it weren't for the gym mark on the house, Rosa wouldn't be sure that this was the Petalburg Gym.

"Although it's shocking, this is undoubtedly the Petalburg Gym we are looking for."

Faced with Rosa's surprise, Gary shrugged and said.

"Okay, let's go in."

After Rosa finished her sigh, Gary took her into the gym that looked like a civilian house.

After they entered the gym, the first thing that caught their eyes was a huge battlefield, but there were no people on the battlefield.

"Excuse me, is anyone there? We are here to challenge the gym."

After seeing that there was no one, Rosa, who was more lively, took the lead over Gary and started shouting.

Just as Rosa finished her words, she heard a steady voice coming from inside.

"Here we are!"

After a while, a middle-aged man in a red coat came out of the inner room of the gym with a referee.

"Hello, I am Norman, the gym leader of Petalburg Gym."

Seeing Gary and Rosa standing on the battlefield, Norman made a simple self-introduction.

"Hello, Mr. Norman, I am Gary from Pallet Town."

"I am Rosa from Nuvema Town."

Gary and Rosa followed closely and introduced themselves briefly.

"Pallet Town?"

After hearing that Gary was from Pallet Town, Mr. Norman looked at Gary in surprise, and then said, "So you are Gary!"

"Mr. Norman, do you know Gary?"

Seeing that Norman seemed to know Gary, Rosa was also surprised.

On the contrary, Gary, who was familiar with the plot, had a bold guess in his heart.

Then Norman's answer made him sure that his guess was correct.

"I heard from Ash that you will definitely come to challenge our Petalburg Gym."

Mr. Norman's answer also made Rosa understand instantly.

"It turned out to be Ash!"

Because during the trip, Gary had also mentioned his childhood friend Ash to her, so it was not surprising.

"Yes, Ash once mentioned that Gary is also very strong, and is his best friend and biggest rival."

Norman was also recalling the time he spent with Ash before.

"Ash, that guy..."

After hearing Ash mention himself to Norman, Gary also smiled a little more.

"Excuse me, Mr. Norman, where is Ash now?"

Then Gary asked Norman about Ash's whereabouts.

"You said Ash, he just left Petalburg City with my daughter May and son Max the day before yesterday, and he should be in Petalburg Woods now."

Facing Gary's question, Norman thought carefully for a while, and then told the approximate location based on the speed of Ash's travel.

"Petalburg Woods?"

After listening to Norman's words, Gary also roughly knew the current stage of the plot.

"I know, thank you, Mr. Norman."

Of course, Gary did not forget to thank him.

"It's okay."

Norman waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Mr. Norman, did you just mention that your son and daughter are with Ash?"

Rosa, who was standing by, heard Norman mention that his daughter and son left Petalburg City with Ash, so she became interested and asked such a question.

"Yes, May and Max are going out on their own for the first time. I am more worried about their safety, so I asked Ash to take care of them."

At this point, Norman also smiled slightly.

"With Ash's care, May and Max should have no problem."

Gary smiled suddenly in his heart when Norman believed that Ash could take good care of his children.

It is better to believe that I can fly than to believe that Ash can take good care of people now.

However, Gary did not say it out loud. After all, Ash's babysitter Brock is probably here at this time.

With Brock's strength, there is absolutely no problem taking care of the three people, so Norman's words are equivalent to being right.

After Gary, Rosa, and Norman talked for a while, the relationship between them was also closer.

However, they did not forget the main purpose of their trip, which is to challenge the gym, so after the chat, the gym challenge between the three people also started.
