After all, given Ash's opportunistic nature, he wouldn't miss the chance to eat and stay for free.
One week later...!
Gary is watching his Pokémon undergo physical training in the common area of the Pokémon Center.
Xiao Mao focused on training Whale, Saifu, and Komamura, because the other Pokémon were very self-disciplined and did not require Xiao Mao to supervise them constantly, and their level increases were very slow.
Vast Whale LV10—LV20!
Koma-no-Kami (Soldier) LV30-32!
Sai Fuhao LV30-LV32!
Mavila LV57—LV58!
Garchomp LV50-LV51!
When the Lily of the Valley Conference begins, the levels of the Pokémon in Gary's Sinnoh region won't increase much, at most by 1 or 2 levels.
However, the three newly captured Pokémon have shown significant improvement after a week of training.
Hello, Xiaomao!
As Shigeru was observing his Pokémon training, a cold voice reached his ears.
Shigeru was taken aback, and when he turned around, he saw Shinji with a blank expression.
Gary was quite surprised; he didn't see Ash, but he did see Paul. With Paul here, it wouldn't be long before Ash and his friends arrived in Veilstone City.
"Shinji, what a coincidence, to run into you here," said Shigeru.
"Did you come here to challenge the Veiled Dojo?" Shinji asked.
“I’ve already tried it,” Xiao Mao said.
“That’s true, any trainer could beat that level of skill,” Shinji retorted.
Shinji is as sharp-tongued as ever. According to Shinji's older brother, this is because of his teachings, which led Shinji to be like this. But thinking about it, this is probably just an excuse that Raiji is making to absolve his younger brother.
Shinji had traveled to the Kanto region with Raiji since he was a child. He always had a poker face when he was young, but he only became more reserved after being defeated by Ash.
"Looks like you've already defeated the Veiled Gym," said Gary.
“Of course, but the gym battle just now wasn’t very interesting. How about we have a Pokémon battle?” Shinji said.
Shigeru was taken aback. Last time in Hyakudai City, Shigeru had invited Shinji to a match, but Shinji refused. He didn't expect Shinji to take the initiative to invite him to a match this time.
"No problem, how do we fight?" Xiao Mao asked.
"Let's have a 3v3 match this afternoon," Shinji said.
"Okay, no problem."
The two sides agreed on a time, and the battle would take place in the area around the Pokémon Center.
"See you at 2 p.m., goodbye." After agreeing on the time, Shinji also left.
What kind of spirit will Shinji have?
Shinji wasn't a rookie trainer; he and Gary were trainers of the same generation. However, instead of traveling to his hometown region, Shinji first went to the Hoenn, Johto, and Kanto regions.
When he was the temporary gym leader, Gary had fought with Shinji once and knew that Shinji had Pokémon at the level of a near-Elite Four member.
It's obvious that Shinji will use the Pokémon he's trained before in this gym battle.
Shigeru looked at his Pokémon and asked, "Who wants to participate in the battle this afternoon?"
"Gulu!"
“咕呢!”
"Oh go!"
Before the other Pokémon could speak, Gary's three newly captured Pokémon volunteered to fight.
"The three of you won't do," Xiao Mao waved his hand in refusal.
Great whale: (?へ?╬)!
Sai Fuhao: ╭(╯^╰)╮!
Koma-no-Kami: o(′^`)o
The three little ones were very unhappy. They had been training for a week and it was time for them to spar with other trainers.
“Shinji isn’t an ordinary trainer. He’ll be using his main Pokémon this time. You can all go in if you want, as long as the three of you can beat any one of them, you can go in the afternoon’s battle,” Gary said, pointing to the Pokémon from the Hoenn region.
The three little ones looked at Electivire and shook their heads. They then looked at Weavile and Tyrannosaurus Rex. They couldn't beat any of them, and even if they attacked together, they still couldn't win.
So, the three little ones wisely withdrew.
"Crack."
"accustomed to."
"Bah da."
2.9 Garchomp, Weavile, and Metagross stepped forward.
Garchomp and Weavile are both warlike, but Gary didn't expect Metagross to volunteer.
Since capturing Metagross, Gary has never used Metagross in battle; he has only given it its daily basic training.
"Alright, then I'll use the three of you this afternoon." Xiao Shi thought these three Pokémon were alright, enough to deal with Shinji.
"This concludes the morning training session. Come in and rest." Since the battle was scheduled, Gary didn't want to waste his Pokémon's energy. He recalled his Pokémon and headed to the Pokémon Center to let them get some rest.
Curtain-covered nursery.
"Brother, please take care of these spirits. I'm taking them with me," Shinji said.
"Shinji, the three Pokémon you took away are all your main Pokémon. Did you fail to challenge the Veiled Gym?" Raiji asked suspiciously.
560: Shinji Rematch
Lei Si knew very well the strength of the Veiled Gym; using these Pokémon was almost bullying them.
"Those third-rate gyms are nothing to me. I'm going to battle a trainer this afternoon," Shinji said dismissively.
"Trainer? Who is that?" Rais asked curiously.
There aren't many trainers that Shinji can remember, so it's safe to say that the other person must be quite strong.
“When I traveled to the Kanto region before, I challenged the Viridian Gym and defeated the Gym Leader,” Shinji said.
"Wasn't the head of the Viridian Dojo called Banki? Has it changed?" Raiji asked in confusion.
Raiji has also challenged the Quartz Conference and even fought against Giovanni.
“Yes, there has been a change of leadership, but this Gym Leader is only acting. He is currently traveling in the Sinnoh region and may also participate in this year’s Sinnoh League Conference,” Shinji said.
"That seems to be a very strong trainer. I'll go with you this afternoon." Reiji also became interested and wanted to see the battle between Shinji and Gary.
"You...don't you need anyone to take care of things here at the nursery?" Shinji asked.
After failing to conquer the frontier, Rai returned to Veil City and went to the breeding house of the 11th Battalion. Currently, Rai is the only one taking care of the entire breeding house.
"What does it matter? There are other Pokémon to help keep an eye on things, so it's not a big problem. It's just watching a match, so don't worry," Lei Si said, indicating that it was no big deal.
The Pokémon in the breeding center are all well taken care of by Rais. All he has to do each day is feed them and complete their scheduled daily training.
"what ever."
Shinji didn't mind and went to the kitchen to find food.
...!
in the afternoon.
Shinji and Raiji arrived 15 minutes early.
Xiao Mao waited here after finishing his lunch.
When he saw that Raiji had come with Shinji, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Shinji, why did you bring someone with you?"
"Hello, my name is Raiji, and I'm Shinji's older brother. I heard that Shinji and you had agreed to a match, so I took the liberty of coming along to watch. I hope I'm not disturbing you."
"I won't bother you, please do as you please."
Shigeru didn't care at all. He knew that Raiji used to be a trainer and was very enthusiastic about Pokémon battles.
Even though Lei Si has now stepped back from the front lines, he still frequently follows all sorts of events.
"Then let me be the referee, what do you think?" Lei Si suggested.
"what ever."
"casual."
Neither Shigeru nor Shinji had any objections and walked to the command area.
Raiji walked excitedly to the command area and announced, "Now, Shinji and Shigeru will begin their Pokémon battle. The number of Pokémon that can be used in this battle is 3. Please release your Pokémon at the same time."
"Gyarados, here I come."
"Mavila, I've chosen you."
The two of them threw out Poké Balls.
Great!!
Shinji sent out a Gyarados.
【LV52 Gyarados♂/Champion】
After a few months, Shinji's Gyarados has reached the level of a near-Champion. In the Journey Saga, this Gyarados has also grown to the level of a Champion.
"Maniura".
Shinji looked at Manneken Pis, his mind already going over the basic information about her.
"Ready...Go!"
The words fell.
Shigeru quickly gave the order: "Mavila, use the snow scene."
