Pokemon: This Gary is Very Different

---

"I finally won the Stone Badge!"

Rosa, who walked out of the Rustboro Gym with Gary, looked at the Stone Badge in her palm and excitedly shared her joy with Gary.

"Congratulations."

Of course, Gary was also generous with his congratulations.

"Gary, let's hurry to the next gym city and win our third badge!"

Rosa looked at the second badge she got, and her ambition was getting higher and higher, so she wanted to quickly pass the third gym.

"No need to be so anxious."

Facing Rosa, who was a little impatient, Gary suddenly felt a little amused.

"We have only been in Rustboro City for a short time, so there is no need to leave so early."

"Hey."

Hearing Gary's words, Rosa's originally high spirits suddenly became sluggish, so she also asked Gary in a low spirit: "Then how long will we stay in Rustboro City ?"

"Well, I don't know."

Faced with Rosa's question, Gary spread his hands and said.

"Gary, do you have anything to do in Rustboro City ?"

Hearing that Gary was going to stay in Rustboro City and he couldn't be sure of the time, the smart Rosa quickly figured out the reason, so she frowned and asked Gary.

"Yes,"

After Gary nodded, he explained to Rosa: "Actually, I'm waiting for a friend."

Before this, Gary had asked Roxanne, the Gym Leader of Rustboro Gym, whether there was a person named Ash who came to challenge the gym before.

Roxanne's reply was also very positive.

Before Gary challenged the gym, no one named Ash came to challenge.

In addition, Gary also found out from the Internet that the Rustboro Conference in the Pokémon Grand Contest will be held in Rustboro City .

After obtaining these two pieces of information, Gary also confirmed that Ash, who was one step ahead of Gary, has not yet arrived in Rustboro City .

You know, Gary set out to Hoenn a few days later than Ash, but he didn't expect that Ash arrived in Rustboro City later than him.

Based on the above, Gary's final conclusion is that Ash is probably lost in the Petalburg Woods again.

So Gary said to Rosa that he was waiting for a friend, and he was waiting for Ash.

"Friend?"

After hearing Gary's answer, Rosa's originally frowned brows instantly relaxed.

She thought Gary had encountered some troubles, which made her worry in vain.

"Gary, do you have any friends in the Hoenn region?"

Rosa also knew that Gary was from the Kanto region, so she was very curious about Gary's friends in Hoenn .

"No,"

After hearing Rosa's question, Gary shook his head and said, "He and I are both from Pallet Town, and he is also here to challenge the Hoenn League ."

Then, Gary told Rosa about Ash and his situation.

"So it's that Ash!"

After listening to Gary's words, Rosa immediately recalled that Norman had mentioned Ash in the Petalburg Gym before.

"That's him."

"Since you need to wait for him, Gary, let's stay."

When Rosa heard that Gary was going to wait for Ash in Rustboro City , she agreed.

"It's just right, we can also watch the next Grand Contest to be held in Rustboro City ."

Gary also saw that Rosa was not very interested at this time, so he told her about the Grand Contest.

"Grand Contest? What is that?"

When Rosa heard Gary mention an unfamiliar contest, she looked at Gary curiously and asked for the answer.

Although the Grand Contest has existed in the Pokémon world for a long time, it is much less famous than the mainstream League Conference and Pokémon Battle.

Moreover, the Grand Contest is now only popular in the Hoenn region and the Sinnoh region.

The Kalos region has a similar Triple Crown Satellite Tournament.

As for other regions, the Grand Contest is not involved for the time being.

Rosa's hometown, Unova, is also a region not involved in the Grand Contest.

However, relying on the gradual reputation of the Grand Contest in recent years, and the fact that the current champion trainer of the Hoenn region, Wallace, is also a very famous Grand Master, it has slowly spread to the surrounding areas of the Hoenn region.

And now the Kanto region and Johto region seem to have already introduced the Grand Contest as a competition mode.

So it is understandable that Rosa doesn't know about the Grand Contest.

Facing Rosa's inquiring eyes, Gary immediately supplemented her with knowledge in this area.

"The so-called Grand Contest is a competition between trainers and their Pokémon, showing the charm of Pokémon through the coordination of various moves, and such trainers are also called coordination trainers."

"So that's it."

After listening to Gary's explanation, Rosa also had a certain understanding of the Grand Contest.

"Moreover, the current champion trainer of the Hoenn League , Wallace, is a top coordination trainer."

Then Gary also added a sentence to Rosa.

"Is that so? It looks very interesting."

After listening to Gary's talk about the Grand Contest and coordination trainers, Rosa immediately became interested.

Seeing Rosa's interested look, Gary turned his eyes to her and said, "What? Do you want to participate in the competition?"

"Participate in the competition?"

After hearing Gary's question, Rosa thought about it for a while, but finally shook her head and refused.

"I still like Pokémon battles more, so I'd better continue to participate in my league conference."

"Gary, do you want to participate?"

After saying her own opinion, Rosa also wanted to know Gary's thoughts.

"I'm not interested either."

Gary also shook his head.

Then Gary changed the subject: "But we can go to watch the Grand Contest, what do you think?"

After saying that, Gary set his eyes on Rosa.

"Good idea!"

After hearing Gary's words, Rosa's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she nodded continuously, so that her twin ponytails also shook, attracting Gary's attention.

"Then let's go get the Grand Contest pass together."

"Okay."

After seeing Rosa's interest in watching the Grand Contest, Gary and Rosa went to the Pokémon Center together and received their Grand Contest passes.

(Here, it should be noted that the Grand Contest pass can also be obtained at the Pokémon Center.)

Because the Grand Contest is the day after tomorrow, Gary and Rosa rested for a day in Rustboro City , and then went to the venue of the Grand Contest together on the morning of the next day.

However, just after they arrived at the venue of the Grand Contest, they met a few familiar figures in front of them.

"By the way, what are they doing? It doesn't look like they are doing pre-match training?"
