Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

Building a strong gym is the most important thing in Ash's mind right now.

Ami naturally agreed, and Ash immediately dragged the petrified Brock and the others back to the Asahi Gym.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new main quest, "Steel Badge!": Please defeat Asagi Gym Leader Ami.]

【奖励：联盟币+5000；体力属性+2；攻击+2；自由属性点+3；技能铁头+1】

The Asagi Gym is famous for its Steel-type Pokémon, and the gym's interior design also incorporates the element of steel.

Therefore, it looks very high-tech, but why is the referee in the battle a little girl?

Perhaps sensing Ash's confusion, Ami could only helplessly explain.

“This child is my disciple, Ke Xia.”

"She even applied a waterproof film to the surface of the Onix a while ago, saying that it would help it avoid its weakness of being afraid of water."

"She almost suffocated the Onix, which is why I punished her by making her serve as a referee here for a while."

"Sorry, I'm reflecting on my mistake~" The little girl lowered her head and admitted her mistake. Ami helplessly poked her little head and then went to the battlefield.

"So now, the rules for gym battles are that two Pokémon are used in a singles battle, and only the challenger can change Pokémon."

"The match begins!" Little girl Kesha, despite her young age, is quite the professional referee.

"The Asagi Gym is primarily a Steel-type gym, so what's effective against Steel-types...?"

"Fire and Ground Systems..."

At this moment, Xiao Gang, who had recovered from his estrus state, regained his usual maturity and composure and immediately responded to Xiao Xia's words.

"Miss Ami has a very famous Steelix, but I wonder what Pokémon she uses for her other one."

Ash isn't afraid of any Pokémon his opponent uses.

He first sent out his starting general, "It's been a long time since I've had you play, so I've decided on you, Garchomp."

"Win a beautiful victory!"

"Ow!"

"Ouch, that hurts! Don't you dare bite my head, you little rascal!"

With eyes full of wisdom, Garchomp turned and bit Ash's head as soon as it left its Poké Ball.

This left Xiaozhi in a flurry of activity.

Even though Garchomp's teeth can't break through Ash's defenses, they always manage to make Ash feel pain.

Is this some kind of conceptual weapon?

Ash plucked Garchomp from his head and quickly threw it onto the battlefield, while Ami immediately sent out her first Pokémon.

"Please, Magneton."

A Pokémon that looks like three Magnemite stuck together and claims to have evolved is sent out by Ami.

"Magneto... In that case, Garchomp, use Stomp!"

Magneton is four times weak to Ground. Although Ash doesn't know what he's planning to do by sending it out, he won't let this opportunity to severely damage his opponent pass him by.

"Electromagnetic levitation".

Before Garchomp could raise its feet and slam them into the ground, Magneton rapidly amplified the electricity throughout its body.

Using the magnetic force generated by electricity, it floated directly into the air above the field, and the damage caused by the stomp failed to hit Magneton at all.

"So that's the strategy. As long as you use magnetism to float in the air, you won't be attacked by ground-type skills." Xiao Gang nodded repeatedly.

As expected of the mature and elegant Michelle, she is a master of Pokémon moves.

However, Ash's Garchomp isn't limited to the Ground-type move "Dragon Breath!"

Dangerous energy gathered in Garchomp's belly, blue light brewed in its mouth, and a powerful aura blew towards Magneton.

"Ow!!"

"Magnemite, split your body apart, then use Metal Sound!"

Seeing that the three-in-one Magnemite on the other side could be separated so well, Ash wondered what the researchers who originally designed it as the evolution of Magnemite were thinking.

"This looks like three Magnemite stuck together!" And they can even be separated.

Although the dragon breath hit Magneton at one point, it managed to dodge most of the attacks.

Then the three Magneton quickly merged back together, making a screeching sound similar to a girl scratching a blackboard with her fingernails when they collided.

Both the Pokémon and the trainers present immediately felt goosebumps all over their bodies and were extremely uncomfortable.

Garchomp, with its highly sensitive hearing and sense of smell, was naturally in even greater distress, unable to completely cover its sensory organs with its claws.

Its special defense was reduced by the metallic sound.

Seeing Garchomp fall into a daze, Ami immediately revealed a sly smile.

"Now's the time, Magneto, unleash your beam cannon!"

This move is incredibly powerful. Magneton already has a strong Special Attack, and Ami has focused on training her Pokémon in this area.

If Garchomp takes this hit after its Special Defense is lowered, the damage it will inflict will be considerable.

The light quickly converged in the center of Magneton, and a silver-white wave of light shot towards Garchomp, who was still covering its ears, with astonishing force.

"Show some guts, Garchomp! Fly up and dodge!"

That's right, although the Garchomp family is called a land dragon, it can actually fly.

As for why the Ground/Dragon type Garchomp family can fly so fast, Ash can only say that you don't need to understand the Pokémon world so well.

Anyway, it can fly.

At this moment, Garchomp's dull brain came to work, and it immediately shook its head to get rid of the nausea caused by the metallic sound.

It immediately spread out the tail fins on its arms and rushed into the air like a jet plane, its cannon beam hitting the ground and splashing up countless bits of dirt.

"Okay, charge forward in this posture and use your bite!"

Chapter 290 Come kiss my steel snake!

Even when Ash's Garchomp was still a Gible, it loved to bite things and had an incredibly strong bite force.

This is also a unique innate advantage of Garchomp; when it charges at you with its mouth full of sharp teeth, its imposing presence startles even Magneton.

Magneton quickly fired another beam cannon, but unexpectedly, Garchomp bit it to pieces.

The smoke from the explosion swept across the entire battlefield, but Garchomp quickly emerged from the fog and continued its relentless charge towards Magneton.

"This works? Ash's Garchomp is really something else."

The attack motion was completely undistorted, and the defense inside the mouth was even better than the outer skin. Xiao Gang witnessed another rare and wonderful scene.

Even Magneton was dumbfounded.

"Beep~, beep beep?" (Is that mouth made of titanium alloy?)

"Oh no! Magneton, get out of the way!"

At this moment, Ami finally realized that in the blink of an eye, Garchomp had appeared under Magneton, and quickly told Magneton to dodge.

But this time it didn't work. Garchomp's big mouth had already bitten Magneton, and with a powerful blast of air from behind, it pulled Magneton back to the ground.

"Now's the time, use Stomp!" Ash's battle instincts are always so efficient.

The shark's sweaty foot immediately stomped on the face of the small Magnemite in the middle of the three-in-one Magnemite.

The battlefield trembled instantly, and the four-fold super-effectiveness was outstanding! Magneton, the three-in-one monster, was thoroughly enjoying itself.

"Magneto has lost its ability to fight."

Because her master lost, the little girl announced the verdict with some disappointment, and Ash won the first game.

"Gallopian, well done!"

"Ow!"

[Ding! Garchomp: Affection +1; Intimacy +1]

"Not bad, Garchomp's moves are very powerful. Ash, you've trained it exceptionally well." Ami recalled Magneton and praised Garchomp as well.

Garchomp is not yet at its final form; its full potential will be unleashed when it evolves into Garchomp.

It will definitely be one of Ash's trump cards when the time comes.

Next, Ami naturally sent out her signature Pokémon.

"It's up to you, Steelix!"

Ami's Steelix is ​​enormous, with a smooth and shiny metallic sheen, clearly indicating that it has been carefully cared for.

This giant Steelix looked formidable, but Garchomp showed no fear, instead staring intently at the sharp protrusions on the Steelix's body and drooling.

It felt that this thing would be perfect for grinding its teeth, and it really wanted to bite it.

"Such passionate eyes, Steelix! Let's show some ladylike manners and give it a kiss!"

Amiya was amused by Garchomp's wise look and immediately ordered Steelix to attack.

Ash felt a wave of embarrassment as he faced the enormous figure twisting and charging towards him.

"What kind of kiss is that?"

It's clearly a self-sacrificing charge, and the phrase "big steel~snake kiss" just sounds weird.

"Don't get distracted, Garchomp! Use Stomp again!" Ash quickly called out to Garchomp to get its attention.

At this moment, Garchomp finally came to its senses and quickly stomped out with its giant foot once again.

This was a highly effective attack for Steelix, but Steelix did not choose to dodge.

Instead, it simply endured the impact and continued to twist its heavy body as it charged towards the Garchomp.

"Wow, that was quite a bold move." Xiao Gang's ace was also an Onix, so he couldn't help but admire the Steelix that had been trained so well.

Even though Stomp is extremely effective against Steelix, it's completely ineffective against its already ridiculously high physical defense.

At the same time, although Steelix has a slow reaction speed, it moves extremely fast, rumbling like a heavy truck.
