Chapter 108 Alliance Inspector?
Kanto Region Pokémon League Office Building.
President's Office.
Ash, who had just come out of the Pokémon Center, was dragged here by Professor Oak.
"Oak, Ash, you're finally here!" Charles Goodshow stood up and greeted them warmly when he saw Ash and the others arrive.
"President, why did you ask the Professor to call me here in such a hurry? What happened?" Ash asked, puzzled.
He remembered that he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary recently, so why would it attract Charles Goodshow's attention?
"Ash, I've watched all your battles, and I've also asked Oak about your basic situation. Your strength already far surpasses most Gym Leaders.
Today, I asked Oak to bring you here because I wanted to ask if you had any intention of becoming a Gym Leader?
Our Trainers in the Kanto region are generally lacking in overall strength compared to other regions. Recently, as you know, because of Team Rockets, many of the eighteen Gyms in our Kanto region have members from Team Rockets..." Charles Goodshow complained to Ash.
"Sorry, President, my goal is to become a Pokémon Master, so I need to continue traveling. I really can't stay in the Kanto region for a long time, and I've received news that Kanto and Johto are going to merge, and then the League's competition system will also be reformed, and the Gyms will also be innovated..."
Before achieving his goal, Ash would not stay in one region for a long time. He still wanted to adventure in other regions, and being a Gym Leader was a restraint for him.
Hearing Ash's words, Oak showed a relieved smile and said to Charles Goodshow, "I told you, Ash isn't interested in being a Gym Leader, but you wouldn't believe me."
"Go away, go away, it's all your fault, Oak, for not doing your job properly. Since you're unwilling to be a Gym Leader, Ash, you must accept this."
Charles Goodshow took out a small red booklet and handed it to Ash.
"This is?"
Ash looked at Charles Goodshow in confusion, somewhat afraid that this thing was also a hot potato.
"This is a League Patrol Officer's identification. Since you're going to travel to other places, you'll inevitably encounter problems that can't be solved along the way. Your identity as a Professor is too conspicuous because of capsule technology.
This identification is universally valid, and all regional Leagues have a record of it. Having it in hand can save you a lot of trouble. This can also be considered our Kanto region's advance investment in you," Charles Goodshow explained.
"League Patrol Officer? Isn't that the same identity as that Miss Nurse Joy with Latias?"
Ash was a little shocked.
"Oh, Ash, you've even met Patrol Officer Nurse Joy? This identification you have is a little different from hers. Hers requires carrying out tasks assigned by the League, while yours allows you to choose tasks independently and also has the authority to refuse to carry out League tasks.
In short, you take this. As long as it's a region with a Pokémon League, you can exercise the privileges of this position."
After hearing Charles Goodshow's words, Ash gladly accepted the identification, "Thank you, President."
No obligation to work, but the right to enjoy benefits. It would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal, and what he liked most was getting something for free.
Ash stayed and chatted for a while longer, then bid farewell to the two and left.
The next day.
At the Indigo Plateau Conference main venue, Ash and Gary's Champion battle was placed as the finale by the League officials. As a warm-up, the third-place battle was also quite intense. Giselle and the ordinary contestant both fought until their last Pokémon.
Unfortunately, Giselle's Pokémon's strength was still slightly inferior. The ordinary contestant, relying on a Gym Intermediate Rhyperior, managed to defeat her Marowak with very little health left, securing a good third-place finish in the League.
A fourth-place finish was considered the best result in the past decade for Giselle's academy.
Commentator: "Next up is the final of this Indigo Plateau Conference. Both contestants are from Pallet Town. The red side contestant is Gary, whose grandfather is the famous Professor Oak, and the green side contestant is Ash, the strongest dark horse of this Contest. Except for actively switching Pokémon, his other Pokémon have no losses. I heard that these two have been playmates since childhood. I wonder who will win the Champion of this Contest? Let's wait and see!"
"Damn it, why is Ash introduced by his record, while I'm introduced by my grandfather's name? This is discrimination! I protest!"
Gary was very dissatisfied with the commentator deliberately emphasizing his background. It made it sound like he relied on his elders to get to this point, completely ignoring his own efforts.
However, how could Gary's single voice be a match for the over 50,000 spectators in the entire venue? His protest was directly drowned out by the audience's cheers.
"Gary, let's finish the battle we didn't complete last time!"
Ash had long wanted to teach Gary a lesson and vent his anger. He let that guy escape in Lampur City before, but this time he would definitely make him pay.
"Let's battle! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Gary was not intimidated. Anyway, he had already prepared to be crushed.
"This battle will adopt the 6V6 full battle rule. If any side has three Pokémon lose their combat ability, the battle will have a twenty-minute halftime break. Now, let the battle begin!"
The referee raised the two flags in his hand and waved them cleanly, announcing the official start of the match.
"Go, Fearow!"
Pokémon: Fearow
Attribute: Normal + Flying
Gender: Male
Level: Gym Initial
Characteristic: Keen Eye
"Venusaur, I choose you!"
Bang!
Overlord Venusaur shocked everyone as soon as it appeared.
Gary suppressed the shock in his heart and commanded, "Fearow, use Peck!"
Upon receiving the command, Fearow, like an arrow released from a bow, pecked at the giant Venusaur on the ground.
"Venusaur, use Vine Whip to block it."
From the sides of the flower pillar on Venusaur's back, two thick Vine Whips stretched out and whipped towards Fearow.
"Fearow, Agility to dodge." Gary commanded again.
Fearow's speed suddenly increased dramatically, breaking through Venusaur's Vine Whip defense, and even bumped Venusaur's head.
However, for the thick-skinned Venusaur, this attack simply couldn't break its defense.
Ash said unhurriedly, "Venusaur, use Leech Seed."
Venusaur aimed at Fearow and fired a small brown seed. This seed hit Fearow's beak, instantly extending vines that wrapped Fearow into a zongzi.
Bound, Fearow fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, and the vines on its body were constantly absorbing its stamina.
"Fearow has lost its combat ability. Please send out your next Pokémon, contestant Gary." The referee raised the flag.
Gary recalled Fearow, "Next is your turn, Arcanine!"
Ash noticed that Gary's Arcanine had improved significantly since their last meeting. He remembered it was Gym Intermediate last time, but now it had reached Gym Intermediate.
"Arcanine, huh? Come back, Venusaur, it's your turn, Milotic!"
