After a few days of traveling, Ash and Xiaoxia finally arrived in Nibi City, Pikachu, Badahu and Bibi Bird are still training, and they have all improved significantly.

After walking harder, Ash and Xiaoxia sat down to rest when they saw a few stones.

"Nibi represents gray, the color of stone, this city has been famous for stones since ancient times", when he walked to a rock to rest, a deep voice came up from below, although Ash knew that this uncle was Xiaogang's father, but Ash still asked, "Xiaoxia, who is this person, do you know him?" ”

"I don't know," replied Xia.

"My name is Wu Neng, and the place you are sitting in right now is my commodity," Wu Neng continued.

"I'm sorry, we just walked out of the forest so we don't know", Ash hurriedly apologized to Wu Neng.

"It seems impossible for you to make a stone for kimchi", but Uncle Wu Neng continued without answering Ash's words.

"We're here to do a Pokémon Trainer training trip, how can we buy stones," Ash replied to his uncle.

"I see, then I'll take you to the Pokémon Center", Uncle Wu Neng said to Ash and Kasumi after listening to Ash's words, and then walked in one direction.

And Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia immediately followed, "This uncle seems to be a good person", Xiao Xia saw that the uncle was so good, so she said to Xiao Zhi.

As soon as Wu Neng took a step, he turned around and said, "Big brother, I'm sorry, I'll charge you fifty yuan for rest first", Xiaoxia fell, Xiaozhi only smiled and didn't speak, and took out his wallet to pay the bill, "Give, fifty yen."

In the Pokémon Center, "I'm sorry for you" Ash handed Pikachu, Bibi Bird, and Ba Dahu to Miss Joy, "Okay, don't worry, I've heard about you, Ash, please wait a minute, okay", Joey took Pikachu and said to Ash.

"Xiaoxia, what are you doing standing there", Ash saw Xiaoxia standing in front of a poster and watched, although Ash knew that it was the Pokémon League Competition, it was better to pretend not to know.

"Well, it's the Pokémon League Tournament, Ash, do you want to consider participating", Kasumi replied to Ash.

"Of course I have to participate, this is a big competition that people from all cities will participate in, and of course I will be no exception, but I have to get eight badges to qualify," Ash said afterwards.

"Hmph, are you going to challenge Xiao Gang, the official trainer of the Pokémon Gym in Nibi City", Wu Neng heard Ash's conversation outside the door and came in to persuade Ash to dispel this idea.

"Of course, and I'll get the badge," Ash replied immediately.

"Hahahaha~ha~, it's up to you", Wu Neng left after laughing.

"That uncle actually looked down on me", Xiao Zhi said angrily to Xiao Xia when he thought of being looked down upon by that person.

"It can't be helped, the gym trainers in Nibi City use rock-based Pokémon, and your Pikachu is electric-based, probably because of this", Xiaoxia thought for a moment and said.

"But I still have Bibi Bird and Ba Da Butterfly," Ash replied immediately.

"But the flying and insect systems can't do anything about the rock system," Xiaoxia added, and Ash lowered his head as if thinking about something.

After eating, Ash retrieved the Pichu from Miss Joy, and then Xiaoxia and Xiaoxia were about to go to the Pokémon Gym in Nibi City, but as soon as they went out, they ran into Uncle Wu Neng, "Do you want to win against Xiao Gang", Uncle asked Ash after seeing Ash.

"Of course," Ash said without thinking.

"Then you come with me", Ash knew that Wu Neng was taking himself to charge Pikachu, which could increase the power of the electric system, and it was nothing to charge it, and then Ash came to the abandoned hydroelectric vehicle power station.

"Here it is... Hydroelectric vehicle power station", said Ash.

"That's right, as long as your Pikachu increases its amperage by charging it, its power will naturally increase," Wu Neng said to Ash.

"I see," Ash said, pretending to be in realization.

"You can recharge Pikachu through this hydroelectric plant, but there's no water here," Wu Neng continued.

Then according to the method of the original book, Ash charged Pikachu by stepping on the wheel of power generation, but Pikachu had already experienced a strong current, and Ash was afraid that Pikachu would not be able to withstand it, "Pikachu, you have to come on", looking at Pikachu's painful expression, Ash said to Pikachu.

"Ash, the owner of the Gym in Nibi City uses rock-based Pokémon, wouldn't it be good if you borrowed water-based Pokémon from me", Xiaoxia saw that Pikachu was struggling to support it, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she said to Ash.

"Xiaoxia, I won't do this, Pikachu and I will definitely rely on our own efforts to win, and we won't rely on other means", Ash shouted at Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia seemed to be stimulated by something and remained silent, watching Ash and Pikachu from the side.

"He's very good", and after Wu Neng heard it, he had a new understanding of Ash.

"Pika~, Pika~", perhaps inspired by Ash, suddenly Pikachu began to absorb a large amount of current, and a large number of electric arcs could be seen around Pikachu, but it was quickly absorbed, Ash discovered this phenomenon and encouraged Pikachu again, "Pikachu, you have to come on, victory is just around the corner", Pikachu began to support a strong current, and the power has been trying to reach the limit, but it was just that he didn't pay attention, and there was an explosion in the power plant, and Pikachu was safe and sound, withstanding the high-voltage current.

The next morning, Ash, accompanied by Kasumi, takes Pikachu to the Nibi Gym.

"Is anyone there?" , Ash asked, looking at the dark gym.

"Who is it?" Then a light came on, and then it was clear that it was a boy, he asked.

"I'm Ash from Shinshin Town, and I'm here to challenge the gym," Ash immediately indicated his intention.

"It's your first time competing in the gym," Xiao Gang said to Ash at this time.

"Yes".

"The tournament in the gym is very different from the small battle on the side of the road, it is the official tournament of the Pokémon League, which is limited to two Pokémon by the rules, you know?" Xiao Gang continued to explain to Ash the rules of some Pokémon Gym competitions.

"Okay, got it", in fact, Ash already knew.

"How long have you been with that Pokémon", Xiao Gang asked, standing up and pointing to Pichu.

"Two weeks", Ash only then remembered that it had been two weeks since he received Pikachu.

"Then it's the cutest period, don't compare", Xiao Gang came to this conclusion after hearing it.

"I'm here to play a Pokémon tournament with badges as a bet", Ash still wants to get the badge, so he repeats his intention to come by himself.

"No way, as a trainer in the gym, someone asks for a competition, I can't help but accept it", Xiao Gang said after hearing Xiao Zhi's words, and after finishing speaking, he snapped his fingers, and half of the field appeared on both sides, and then they were put together to form a rock field.

"The game begins", Xiao Gang jumped down from it, stood in the trainer's position and said, "Use the small fist stone first, up", and then Xiao Gang sent out the first Pokémon, which was the little fist stone.

"Pikachu, I've decided to use you", Ash sent Pikachu, "Pikachu, use 100,000 volts", Pikachu used 100,000 volts to hit the small fist stone, and the small fist stone was scorched like in the original book.

"Come back, Little Fist Stone, it seems that I underestimated you, but don't think this is the end of it, go on, Big Rock Snake", Xiao Gang don't say don't send out Big Rock Snake.

"Come back, Pikachu, take a break, Bibi Bird, it's decided that it's you", Ash also replaced Bibi Bird.

"It seems that you still lack knowledge, and you don't know that it is useless for the flying department to encounter rock-based Pokémon", Xiao Gang saw that Xiao Zhi sent Bibi Bird from the flying department to reprimand.

"Hmph, even if that's the case, my Bibi Bird isn't a flying skill," Ash then retorted.

"Forget it, the big rock snake uses a tie-up attack", Xiao Gang ended the topic and took the lead in ordering the attack.

"Bibi Bird, rise rapidly, and then counterattack with a flash of electric light", Bibi Bird has been carrying out weight training in the previous training, and the speed is much faster than the ordinary Bibi Bird, so it is very easy to dodge, and it also attacks the big rock snake.

"Big Rock Snake, use Impact", Xiao Gang saw that he didn't attack, so he asked the Big Rock Snake to use Impacting to attack.

"Bibi Bird, continue to rise rapidly, and then the lightning flashes", hit again, and in this way, the kite was released under the progress of Bibi Bird's evasion and attack, although Bibi Bird was very tired, but the Great Rock Snake eventually lost its ability to fight.

"yes, win, come back, Bibi Bird", Ash cheered at winning the first gym match.

"Come back, Big Rock Snake, you've worked hard, Ash, you're really good, give, this is proof of defeating the Nibi Gym", Xiao Gang took out the gray badge and handed it to Ash.

"Thank you", and Ash accepted his first badge.

"Actually, I think it's more meaningful to cultivate Pokémon with all my heart than to find someone to challenge, I want to be not the world's number one trainer, but a breeder, but because I have to take care of my younger siblings, I can't leave this place, so I want to ask you to achieve my dream instead of me", seeing that Ash accepted the badge, Xiao Gang also said his ideals.

"Go, Xiao Gang, go chase your own dreams", at this time, Uncle Wu Neng came and said to Xiao Gang.

"Uncle Wu Neng", seeing the uncle, Xiaoxia immediately said.

"It's Dad", after Uncle Wu Neng took off his hat and beard, Xiao Gang recognized that it was his father.

After Xiao Gang told his dizzy and hurried father all the precautions, Xiao Gang also started the trip as he wished, joined Ash's team, the initial trio was finally gathered, Ash's travel interest has also increased a lot, and a better tomorrow is still waiting for them.
