Chapter Twenty-Three: Getting the Rainbow Badge

Previous Chapter

"There is a very fragrant smell", Xiao Zhi and his party finally came to Rainbow City after subduing the hot monkey, and Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang immediately smelled a very fragrant smell in the center of the city.

"Ash, you know what? I seem to like this city, and I want to stay in this city for the time being", just as Ash walked next to Xiao Gang, who was already attached to the glass, Xiao Gang stared at the glass and said.

"Okay, no matter how much you like people, they won't like you, go to the Pokémon Center first", Ash said mercilessly and hard-pulled Xiao Gang, Xiao Gang seemed to be hit by a bolt from the blue.

"Ash, let go of me, big sister save me", Xiao Gang begged Xiao Ash to let him go, but it was useless, Xiao Gang dragged Xiao Gang to the Pokémon Center in Rainbow City.

"Xiaoxia, you rest for a while, I'll make a call", Ash told Xiaoxia and went to the phone booth and dialed Dr. Ohki's phone.

"Hey, this is the Oki Institute, who are you?" asked Dr. Oki after dialing. (Dialogue omitted below)

Ash exchanged the big butterfly in his hand for the eagle, and at this time, Ash's Pokémon also recovered their health, so Ash took Pikachu, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang out of the Pokémon Center and went to the perfume shop opened by the owner of the gym.

"This floral perfume is the most suitable for you", Xiaoxia walked around, and the clerk recommended a perfume to Xiaoxia.

"It's great, it smells so good," Xiaoxia said admirably after smelling the perfume.

"Thank you for the compliment, then this can be cheaper for you", the clerk's old quote.

"That's it", then I'll buy a bottle", Xiaoxia was moved when she heard that there was a discount, and immediately went to the counter to pay, "Thank you for your patronage"

Ash also looked around, chose a bottle of men's perfume made of jasmine, and saw that the price was quite affordable, so he went to the counter to pay.

"Eh, Ash, you're also interested in perfume," Xiaoxia said curiously.

"Fortunately, people should always be kind to themselves, and the flower language of jasmine is loyal, pure, and simple, which is more in line with me, and the perfume itself can also make people feel happy and relaxed," Ash explained to Xiaoxia.

"Looks like you know the effects of perfume," said a girl in a kimono from behind the curtain.

"It's normal, by the way, are you the owner of the Gym Alijia", Ash asked knowingly.

"Well, that's right, you're here to challenge the gym," Aliga replied.

"That's right, please accept my challenge," Ash replied immediately.

"Alright then, everyone come with me", Alijia also accepted the challenge and led the group to the Rainbow Gym.

"One, two, one, two, ......", after following Alijia to the gym, what caught her eye was the training of the trumpet buds and Dandan, who were trying to keep up with the slogan.

"You're drooling again, I'll help you dry it", and a girl was wiping a stinky flower.

"By the way, Miss Elija, ordinary stinky flowers are Pokémon that emit a nasty smell and spread pollen, making ordinary people inaccessible, but why are the stinky flowers here different from what everyone thinks", Xiaoxia asked puzzled, looking at the stinky flowers at her feet.

"Your question is very simple, the stinky flower emits a nasty smell, only when the crisis is approaching, that is, a defensive instinct reaction, so as long as they have a peaceful mood at any time, there will be no problem, stinky flower, in fact, very cute", Alijia said while holding the stinky flower, recalling the story that happened before.

"This is going to start from ten years ago, when I was a child, I got lost, I accidentally encountered stinky mud, and I was scared and didn't dare to move, and then the stinky flower appeared, it was it that saved me, so I am very grateful to it, and it was at that time that I decided to be a trainer for grass-based Pokémon", Alicia told Ash about her encounter with the stinky flower.

"Alright, Ash, since you're a challenger, let's go to the opposite battlefield, follow me," Alika said to Ash afterwards.

"Okay", Ash and the others also followed Alijia to the gym competition ring.

"The Pokémon used are limited to three, let's duel", Alica announced the rules of the competition first.

"No problem, little fire dragon, it's decided that it's you", Ash sent the little fire dragon to the field first.

"It seems that you already know about the Rainbow Gym, but I won't admit defeat, the vine monster, I will send you to the field", and Arika also sent the vine monster to fight with great momentum.

"Little Fire Dragon, use the Jet Flame first", Ash ordered first, and then the Little Fire Dragon spat out flames from its mouth and attacked the vine monster.

"Arbesque, jump up with a vine whip", Alika then ordered, and the vine monster used the vine whip to the ground and jumped into the air with the reaction force, avoiding the jet flames.

"It's quite a set, but there aren't many opportunities to dodge in the air, and the little fire dragon uses the flame vortex", Ash immediately ordered after explaining to Alicia, and the little fire dragon spat out a fireball and hit the vine monster.

"Arabesque!" , Arija shouted at the vine monster worriedly, the fireball hit the vine monster and began to spread around the vine monster, the vine monster landed after the breathing rate increased a lot, Elega saw this and retracted the vine monster.

"Ash, your command is perfect, my vines have lost their combat ability, so next, the Mouth Dumb Flower will replace you on the field", Arijia said some words of admiration and sent the Mouth Dumb Flower to fight.

"Dumb flower, use the dissolving liquid", Alijia immediately ordered, and the stupid flower immediately spit out the dissolved liquid from her mouth to the little fire dragon.

"Little Fire Dragon, it's time to show the results of your training, avoid it to the right", Ash also ordered, by the way, to test the training results of the little fire dragon, but after seeing the dissolved liquid, there was a chill behind him from time to time.

"So fast", Arijia saw the dissolved liquid of the Mouth Worm Flower that the little fire dragon easily avoided, and said in amazement, "Mouth Fool Flower, use the binding to restrict its movement", Arija shouted to the Mouth Flower, and many vines appeared around the Mouth Fool Flower and pierced into the ground, and then many vines appeared at the feet of the little fire dragon who was moving and wanted to tie up the little fire dragon.

"Little fire dragon, cut off these vines with a split", Xiao Zhi immediately ordered when he saw this, and the young man was able to put his hands together and release light to slash at the vines, and the vines were cut off by the little fire dragon's continuous slashing.

"The last blow, the little fire dragon uses the jet flame", Xiao Zhi shouted very imposingly, after the little fire dragon received the order, it continued to gather flame charging power from its mouth, and after 3 seconds, the little fire dragon used the jet flame towards the mouth dumb flower.

"Mouth Dumb Flower, use Hold to block this blow", Alijia hurriedly ordered, Mouth Dumb Flower Futaba moved forward to defend, and the little fire dragon's jet flames continued to attack.

"Come on", Ash and Alica did not forget to encourage the Pokémon.

At this moment, under the eyes of everyone, the body of the little fire dragon began to glow, and after the light dissipated, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was the fire dinosaur that had evolved, and then the flame in the mouth of the fire dinosaur was even more vigorous, and the mouth dinosaur also felt the temperature in front of him and quickly withdrew his hand, as a result, the jet of flame hit the mouth of the mouth flower, the mouth of the mouth flower eyes spiral lost the ability to fight, and Ash also high-fived the fire dinosaur to congratulate.

"I really didn't expect him to be so powerful", "It's really unbelievable", and the people in the audience next to him also discussed Ash while watching Ash's battle.

"Come back, Dumb Flower, you've done a good job, Ash, I admit that your strength is good, but my love for grass-based Pokémon is far beyond your strength, Ash, I'm telling you, don't underestimate me, next stinky flower, it's up to you", Arija didn't lose confidence and took out her trump card, and Ash also took back the already tired fire dinosaur.

"Bidiao, it's decided that it's you", Ash also sent Bidiao who was prepared in advance to deal with the stinky flower.

"Stink~", the stinky flower released the stink as soon as it appeared, making the vision begin to blur.

"Compare the eagle, use the storm to blow it away", Ash couldn't stand the smell and asked the eagle to use the storm to blow away the stench, "Okay~ than the eagle, use the wings to attack next", Ash continued to order, the eagle's wings emitted a dazzling light to attack the stinky flower, and the stinky flower was hit and retreated several steps.

"Stinky Flower, use Super Suck", Arijia also ordered, Stinky Flower used vines to tie up the eagle, and then began to absorb energy from the eagle.

"The eagle uses air to cut", Ash ordered when he saw this, and a gear-like aura appeared on the eagle's wings to cut off the vines.

"Stinky Flower, don't give him a chance to breathe, use Petal Dance", Alijia saw this opportunity and let Stinky Flower use Petal Dance to attack.

"Eagle, move at high speed to avoid", Ash hurriedly ordered, and the eagle began to fly at high speed, constantly avoiding the attack of the stinky flower.

"It seems that Ash is a little panicked", Xiaoxia sat on the audience and looked at Ash's expression and began to get nervous.

"Yes, after all, the eagle has been consumed in a wave, and the stinky flower also absorbs the energy of the eagle, and the physical consumption is very small, Alijia is really powerful", Xiao Gang also analyzed it afterwards, "Pi ~ Ka ~ Pi ~ (come on)", Pikachu also kept refueling at Ash's feet.

"Alijia, this battle, I started very much, so I'm going to show my strength", Ash adjusted his mentality and said happily to Alijia.

"Well, then I'm going to show my strength too," Alija said.

"Bidiao, use the whirlwind knife", Ash continued to order, and a whirlwind was generated around the eagle, and it began to attack the stinky flower continuously.

"Stinky Flower, use it to hold", Alijia also thought of a coping strategy and ordered, although Stinky Flower used to defend, but the Whirlwind Knife was not one-way, so Stinky Flower was still attacked from different aspects.

"That's it, Bibi Bird, take advantage of the victory to pursue, use the air to cut", Ash ordered when he saw this, and the eagle used the air to slash at the stinky flower, and the stinky flower was hit, and the effect was outstanding, and the eyes spiraled down, and Ash took out the baby ball and took it back after calming the eagle.

"Stinky Flowers!" , Alicia worriedly ran to Stinky Flower for treatment, and Stinky Flower woke up soon after receiving treatment, "Ash, you are really powerful, this is the proof of victory over the Rainbow Gym: Rainbow Badge, take it", and then Alicia handed the Rainbow Badge to Ash.

"Thank you", Ash happily accepted the badge.

"Ahaha......", just then a laugh came from above, "Who?" Alicia asked, puzzled, "...... (Team Rocket classic line)".

"It's you again, do you want to steal the perfume again", this is the two girls who drove Team Rocket out before running up.

"We've got it," the Rockets said, pulling out the perfume they had stolen.

"Stinky Flower", as soon as she heard that the perfume was stolen, Alysa immediately said to Stinky Flower, Stinky Flower knows Arija's heart best, and then Stinky Flower released the stink, and Team Rocket was stunned, "Pikachu, it's now, use 100,000 volts", Ash then said to Pikachu, "Pi~Ka~Ok~", Pikachu used 100,000 volts to send Team Rocket away.

"Wow, this time it's flying very high, but, Eliga, I've knocked your perfume flying too", Ash said apologetically to Alica after seeing the altitude of Team Rocket's flight, although he knew the raw materials of the perfume.

"It's all right, it's actually the raw material of the perfume, the extract of the stinky flower," Aliga replied afterwards.

Later, after saying goodbye to Arija, Ash and his party went to the Pokémon Center for a night, and Ash replaced the eagle with Ghost Stone, and then washed up and continued to set off. Congratulations
