Ash and Ah Fei left Tokiwa City, entered Tokiwa Forest, and headed for Nibi City. On the way, they encountered a trio of Team Rocket (two meows?). and a very scary samurai boy, but the former has no effect other than giving experience, and the latter was put to his throat by Ah Fei when he was about to make a sword, and he fled without even doing a pixie fight.

All the way to the Pokémon Center in Nibi City, the four of them took care of the elves and went to the restaurant to eat, no matter how well prepared in the forest, the food made by a few children still can't compare with the professional restaurants in the city.

During the meal, Xiaoxia laughed at Ash's preparation for participating in the Quartz Alliance Regional Conference, and lost her temper and left during the dispute, not knowing if it was intentional or not, and did not pay for the meal. Because the Pokémon League is headquartered in the Quartz Plateau in the Kanto region, the Pokémon League in the Kanto region is also known as the Quartz Alliance.

After eating, Ash, Ah Fei, and Luffy came to the Gym in Nibi City, intending to challenge Xiao Gang, the owner of the Gym here, although he had no special feelings for being called Pokémon Master, but since he came, the two from the Broken Continent did not intend to waste this opportunity.

The first to play was Ash, who sent Pikachu, but the attack of the electrical department was not ideal for dealing with the big rock snake of the ground + rock, and he was quickly defeated, and Ash, who admitted defeat for the first time, hung his head and didn't listen to Luffy's words to avenge him, and watched the rubber man throw out the Poké Ball containing the little Kirbymon.

"Kirby."

The big-mouthed monster deserves the title of a foodie, and although it has not yet become the final evolution, the nature of the foodie has not changed, and he actually grabbed a stone and threw it into his mouth.

In the equally surprised eyes of both parties, Luffy's little Kirbymon gradually turned gray, as if wearing a suit made of stone, just like the big rock snake opposite.

Luffy is naturally full of joy about this, his little elf is amazing, there is no reason to be unhappy, as for Ah Fei, he raised his eyebrows, thinking in his heart.

"Strange Pokémon, but that's decent, Big Rock Snake, use Dash, and then tie up!"

"Up! We attack head-on! ”

Luffy, who prefers to fight by himself, doesn't have the mind to command the elves to fight at all, or as a hot-blooded protagonist, he only needs to rush up without a brain, but as a commander, he is not qualified for the time being.

The little Kirbymon was curled up by the tail of the big rock snake, but looking at the expression of this thing, it is estimated that it is still at the stage of considering whether the other party can eat it, and he is completely unaware of his situation.

Maybe it's to confirm the identity of the other party's living animal, since it's an animal, then it must be edible, right? Opening his mouth and taking a bite, a large stone was bitten off the tail of the big rock snake by the foodie.

"Roar~!"

The painful voice of the big rock snake sounded, and he subconsciously let go of his tail, avoiding the creatures in the upper layers of the food chain from a distance, even if Xiao Gang urged, he no longer stepped forward, and Xiao Gang had no choice but to admit defeat when he saw this.

"Although the rules of the alliance are two-on-two, this is only my strongest Pokémon, since you can defeat it, then the other one doesn't need to play, you can keep this badge."

Xiao Gang threw out a metal badge, an octagonal piece of iron inlaid with something that might have been glass, and the color was gray that symbolized the rock system.

"What about you? Are you going to challenge me too? Xiao Gang said to Ah Fei.

"I want to try."

"In that case, let's try my other elf first, up, little fist stone!"

It was as if a rock with a pair of fists flew out of the Poké Ball, and Ah Fei was still very curious about this creature that had no legs but could move, and only released his Eevee after a while.

"Eevee, water elf form! Use a water gun! ”

Although it was just a newborn elf who had just been born for a month, and the water gun was not a high-level skill, but under the restraint effect of quadruple damage, Xiao Gang's little fist stone was seconds.

Reluctantly took back the small fist stone, Xiao Gang did not release the big rock snake again.

"It's another Pokémon that is out of specification, although I don't want to admit it, but you win, and you are attacked by restrained moves, the pokemon is very vulnerable to serious injuries, and the big rock snake doesn't have to appear, this is a rock badge, take it."

The three of them left the Rock Gym, different from the heartless Luffy, or the feeling of victory and defeat is different, the rubber man is still immersed in the first battle with a pet, he only keeps Pokémon as a pet, and then successfully defeats the happiness of the other party, Ash is holding Pikachu and walking with his head down, and the victory of his companion sets off his own defeat, and the mood is naturally not good.

On the way, the roadside uncle I met before came to meet him.

"Come to my house."

The uncle left a sentence without a beginning or an end and turned to leave, but Ash still subconsciously followed, and Ah Fei and Luffy naturally chased after him.

In a small cabin, the uncle taught Ash not to give up because of a failure, and there is a way to quickly improve Pikachu's strength, but it will suffer a little.

The three of them followed the uncle to a waterwheel, and according to the uncle's words, using the waterwheel to generate electricity to stimulate Pikachu can increase Pikachu's discharge power and increase its ability to store electricity.

"That's right, I've seen similar statements, the shock beast will climb the peak in a thunderstorm to attract lightning attacks, so as to improve its ability, Pikachu is also electrical, and the characteristic is also power storage, so there should be no problem."

Luffy is still very interested in what he is interested in, and he has a lot of information in Dr. Ohki's research institute.

"That's right...... Pikachu, here we go! ”

"But...... And one more small problem......"

Uncle hit.

"What?"

Ash had already regarded electric shock training as a last resort at this time, and asked nervously.

"There's no water in the river right now." ……

After stepping on the waterwheel all night, the next day Ash came to the Rock Gym again with full of fighting spirit and challenged Xiao Gang again.

Having successfully defeated Little Fiststone, Pikachu gained the upper hand in the second battle due to a broken water pipe in the gym, defeating the Great Rock Serpent in a rain-like environment to finally earn his first badge.

"I have younger siblings to take care of, so please let you fulfill my dream for me."

"Oh, good."

"Xiao Gang, go and follow your own dreams."

The roadside uncle interjected at this point.

"Uncle Wu Neng?"

"Actually, I'm Xiao Gang's father, a failed man who is speechless in the face of his family because he didn't become the number one elf trainer," the uncle cast a hopeful look at Xiao Gang, "You don't have to worry about your younger brothers and sisters anymore, let's travel with my dream." ”

"I have a word for you," Xiao Gang's voice was serious.

"I have abandoned you for so many years, no matter how much you scold me, you deserve it." Uncle Wu Neng's voice was also very low.

Xiao Gang took it out of his arms...... A serving of needlework.

"Jiro likes to eat red miso, Saburo white miso, and little sister mixed miso......"

After continuing to advise for half an hour, Xiao Gang finally finished his work, packed his bags, and followed Xiao Zhi and the three of them on the road together, and Xiao Xia, who secretly followed behind, chased after Luffy who was screaming at Luffy with a mouth that was faster than his brain, and the group of five people moved towards the road ahead.
