Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 188 Platycodon Gym

After Shota returned to the dock, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, but it quickly disappeared.

Standing on the original building, Shota called back Machado who was training and said to him: "You continue to lurk beside Xiaozhi now."

After a pause, Shota took out a golden ball from his backpack. It was the same size as a Poké Ball, but it was painted golden on the outside.

"Take this. After Xiaozhi leaves for his journey, find an opportunity to swap it with a ball that looks exactly like this one. Remember, when Xiaozhi goes to Oak's laboratory, you will be discovered by Oak Yukinari. In other words, be careful."

"Yes!"

Shota took out several Kanto region badges in his hand and thought about this year's Quartz Conference.

"The Quartz Conference? It's over already. The next one will be the Silver Conference. I think it's time for me to go and join in the fun."

Once again they came to Vermilion City, and this time Shota was not riding a yacht, but a plane to the Johto area.

To be honest, Ma Zhishi has a lot of business talent, but Shota still doesn't know why he was cheated several times in a row.

The plane was flying very fast, and in a moment, Shota arrived in Kikyo City.

Kikyo City is a nostalgic city. There is a huge shaking tower in the northernmost part of the city. There are many monks who are practicing in it. They learn the truth that all creatures live together through cooperation. They usually use trumpet buds. When the trainers are fighting, the tower still shakes. This more flexible structure has better earthquake resistance and is called "flexible structure" in Japan. Many modern buildings also use this construction method.

But Shota's purpose of coming this time was not for the Bellflower Tower, but to get the badge of Kikyo Gym.

In the anime: The Kikyo Gym only appears in Kikyo Gym! Sky Battle!!. The gym is located on the top floor of a very tall building, and because there is no roof, Flying-type Pokémon can maximize their abilities.

After learning from Asuka, who helped rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket, that he was the Gym Leader, Ash immediately challenged him. At first, Ash used Chimoyne, which had disadvantageous attributes, and quickly lost. Pikachu helped Ash defeat two Pokémon in a row, but was defeated by Asuka's most powerful Pokémon, Pidgeot. Ash switched to Charizard and defeated Pidgeot, earning his first badge of the Johto League, the Wing Badge.

After entering the gym, Shota was quickly received by a waiter. Not long after, he met the gym master of Kikyo Gym - Asuka.

Asuka is known for his cool and handsome image, but pales in comparison to his father, who is currently traveling. Asuka inherited his position as gym leader from his father, and the Pokémon he uses were also originally his father's.

Asuka's goal is to be the strongest bird Pokémon trainer. He often flies around on a glider in order to get as close to flying Pokémon as possible. In Kikyo Gym! Air Battle!!, when Xiaozhi's Pikachu was taken away by Team Rocket, Asuka used Pidgeot to rescue it. His Cuckoo often lands on his shoulder, and this time is no exception.

The Kikyo Gym is a tall spiral building, and Asuka holds gym matches on the roof of the gym, with many disciples surrounding him to support him during the battle. Asuka has a self-righteous attitude towards Pokémon training, which angers Ash. Asuka also dislikes the statement of some trainers that Flying-type Pokémon will definitely lose to Electric-type Pokémon, but somewhat hypocritically, he thinks that Ash's use of Chikorita in the gym match was a mistake (Grass-type is not good for Flying-type).

Thinking of this, Shota decided to teach him a lesson. When shaking hands, he said, "If possible, I hope to end this quickly, and I will send out my Beedrill."

After hearing what Shota said, the smile on Asuka's face froze, he withdrew his shaking hand, turned around and walked towards the battlefield, saying as he walked: "Okay, but I'll let you know the consequences of underestimating the gym leader!"

Hearing this cold voice, Shota didn't feel anything.

After the referee finished reading the rules, Asu played his trump card.

"Go ahead, King Yan!"

Shota didn't say anything, he just released his Beedrill. By the way, Beedrill can now flexibly and freely control mage evolution.

"Great King Yan, show your opponent who underestimated you a lesson. Use Yan Fan!"

Swallow Return: Tease the opponent with agile movements and then perform a slashing move.

"Beedrill, use Black Mist."

Just as the King Swallow was about to approach Beedrill, thick black fog came out of Beedrill's mouth, which then enveloped the entire battlefield.

"Black fog? Do you want to make the Great King Swallow lose its target? Great King Swallow, don't panic, use the wind!"

"Giant Beedrill, just end the battle."

"what?!"

Before the Great Swallow could use its wind-raising technique, a scream was heard from the black fog.

Then the King Swallow was seen flying out from the black fog, with a hint of purple flashing on its unconscious face, obviously it was poisoned.

Looking at the fallen King Swallow, Asu suddenly felt that something was wrong with the world. However, a kind of anger inexplicably arose in his heart, an anger of being defeated by himself.

After taking back the King Swallow, Asuka did not immediately take out the Wing Badge, but said to Shota: "Play another round with me and I will give you the badge."

Before Shota could say anything, the waiter who was watching the fight said, "Master, this is not in compliance with the rules."

"Shut up, I'm the owner, I have the final say!"

After hearing what Asu said, the waiter silently closed his mouth.

Asuka turned to Shota and said, "One more round!"

A smile appeared on Shota's face and he nodded.

This performance made Asu even more annoyed. He took out a Poké Ball from behind, and with a flash of red light, a Pidgeot appeared on the battlefield.

"Level 63, it looks like he's really angry out of shame."

Shota thought so in his heart.

"But isn't the result still the same?"

Asuka looked at Shota who was distracted and gave the order first: "Pidot, use Storm."

When the black fog on the scene was blown away by the storm, there was no trace of the Beedrill, but an expression of fear appeared on Asuk's face.

"Pidot, use Swallow Return to dodge!"

"Sorry, it's too late, Beedrill. Send him to death with one poison attack."

As a poisonous attack hit Pidgeot, Pidgeot flew backwards like a royal swallow.

"A sniper plus a strongman, even in normal condition, is enough to sweep through an average gym."
