In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

That's right, this is a typical example!

"Hey? Keep talking, Xiao Gang, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Zhi was listening happily when he saw Xiao Gang suddenly stop, and he looked at Xiao Gang blankly and asked.

Why did it suddenly stop?

"Pfft..."

Upon seeing this, Shigeru couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Mei, Lillie, and the others also covered their mouths and chuckled.

Bakura smiled genuinely. This Satoshi was really too interesting. Even though he had been traveling for a year, his mind and heart were still so pure and innocent.

Why is Xiaogang stopping here to look at him? Doesn't he have any sense of propriety at all?

Red looked at Ash with amusement; his little brother was just too cute.

"It's alright. As I just said, it's because most challengers aren't very skilled yet, while gym leaders are the true elites."

At this point, Xiao Gang subconsciously straightened his back slightly. That's right, I was an elite back in the day!

"Therefore, when facing a challenger, gym leaders generally do not go all out."

"Because their duty is to hone and test the challengers, not to defeat them. Basically, when Gym Leaders battle a challenger, they don't use their main Pokémon."

Instead, they use their second- or third-tier backup Pokémon to fight.

Xiao Gang smiled and explained, "Yes, gym leaders are usually elite trainers recognized by the league."

If you really go all out against every challenger, then there will be very few people qualified to participate in the league tournament.

Even if gym leaders are lenient, there aren't many trainers who can actually pass all the gym leaders' tests.

"Huh? Is that so?" Ash's eyes widened in surprise. He really didn't know that was the case.

"Of course, otherwise do you really think you could defeat the gym leader?"

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes. This Xiaozhi really doesn't think things through.

"What? Who are you looking down on? So, Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia, you didn't use your main forces against me back then?"

Ash was very dissatisfied upon hearing this, but then he seemed to remember something and looked at his two companions who had traveled together for a year with a look of suspicion in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia were momentarily startled, then turned their heads slightly with a flicker in their eyes and coughed twice.

This is a bit awkward.

They really did use their main force against Ash...

Among the gyms in the Kanto region, Pewter Gym and Cerulean Gym are now truly at the bottom.

"Not all gym leaders are appointed with the approval of the League, which is why the League has the position of prosecutor."

"Because in some local dojos, the position of dojo leader is passed down from generation to generation, the skill levels vary greatly."

Bakura smiled and came to Brock and Misty's rescue. The two here are obviously from the TV version; otherwise, if they were Brock and Misty from the game or special episode, they would actually be very excellent trainers.

Of course, this is not to say that Brock and Misty in the TV version are bad, but compared with other gym trainers, their strength is indeed unsatisfactory.

"That doesn't matter! Ah! A gym leader giving it their all? I'm fired up!"

Ash blinked, but quickly forgot all those miscellaneous thoughts, stood up, clenched his fist, and was filled with excitement...

Anyway, he only understood one thing: Alola's Gym Leaders can fight challengers at full power!

If you don't go all out in a battle, is it still a Pokémon battle?

It doesn't exist!

Ash felt his whole body heat up! He couldn't wait to challenge the Alola Gym Leaders!

"Idiot." Gary rolled his eyes. They've only just arrived in Alola, and he's already thinking about challenging the gyms?

"Bakura, what's the nearest gym? I want to challenge it!"

But Ash completely ignored Gary and excitedly asked Bakura.

There's a dojo on the island, would you like to give it a try?

Bakura chuckled lightly, not too surprised. Isn't that the kind of person Ash is?

And there is indeed a dojo on the artificial island.

"That's the dojo of the campfire lady. The campfire lady is very strong."

Lillie blinked and gave Ash a kind reminder.

"Even for the normal difficulty challenge, the dojos here are very difficult. It would be better to travel for a while and train before taking on the challenge."

Lillie kindly and tactfully advised Ash that although she herself was not very strong, under the influence of this environment, Lillie was at least a bit better than the average person her age.

Many trainers who have recently logged into Alola have started challenging Gym 4.1, but...

Ahem, amidst the initial excitement and anticipation for the Alola region online, many posts now express complaints and lamentations.

That's right, it's those tragic stories of challengers taking on gyms and getting brutally defeated...

"Huh? Cultivation? No need! I'm super strong! And it's a campfire? I'm even more excited!"

Ash was taken aback when he heard this, then decisively waved his hand in refusal.

Training and honing one's skills for a period of time? That's impossible!

This old man, Ash, always seems to have divine assistance when challenging gyms! Does he need to train?

Dojos are things that only require a little effort to get into.

And he's definitely aiming for the Elite Badge! He absolutely needs the Elite Badge!

I was a top 16 finisher in the Quartz Conference!

Hearing Ash's confident words, everyone present had rather strange expressions. Mei, in particular, covered her mouth and kept giggling.

"You? Very strong? As expected of you, Satoshi. When it comes to self-awareness, you'll never even come close."

Gary immediately launched into a tirade, glancing sideways at Ash with a mocking look.

This guy is really fearless, like a newborn calf. To be honest, even he wouldn't dare to be this arrogant.

How could he let this idiot steal his thunder? If anyone should be arrogant, it should be Young Master Mao!

"What are you saying, you arrogant brat? Who are you calling lacking self-awareness?" Ash exploded instantly.

"I know in my heart who I'm talking about."

"You! I'm very strong!"

"You call yourself strong? You're just a nobody from the top sixteen and you dare to brag here?"

……

The two gay men immediately started hurling insults at each other, and Mei, who had been watching the show, froze with a smile.

A mere top 16?

Although Gary was criticizing Ash, Mei suddenly felt offended.

She's not even in the top 16 yet!

"Alright, alright, since you're interested, let's go to the gym and check out number 14."

After listening with great interest to the banter between the two childhood friends for a while, Bakura chuckled and spoke up.

Since Xiaozhi is interested, let's take him to experience it.

It won't take much time anyway.

"Alright! Just you wait, you stinky brat, I'm about to get my first badge!"

Ash readily agreed, then his eyes blazed with fury as he looked at Gary and shouted.

"Hehe~" Xiao Mao crossed his arms and just gave Xiao Zhi a cold laugh in response to his boast.

"These two are really something." Xiaoxia sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead. She really had no way to deal with these two troublemakers.

Since they had decided to visit the Alola Gym, Qinglv and the others did not object, after all, they were all trainers.

Besides, they came here specifically to challenge the Alola region, and they'll be visiting the gyms sooner or later anyway, so it's good to get a sneak peek now.

The group then headed towards the gym on the artificial island of Etherland.

There is only one gym on the artificial island of Etherland, which is the gym of Campfire. This can be considered a privilege given to Campfire.

Otherwise, there would be no need to build gyms on Etherland Island.

Recently, trainers have been challenging the Alola Gym, so the campfire has naturally had to take over.

Wow, that's so luxurious!

Riding in a sightseeing bus, Bakura and the others arrived outside the bonfire dojo.

A magnificent building instantly came into view, mostly made of red bricks and stones, and covering a huge area.

The main gate has also been renovated to be very grand and imposing, making a strong impression.

This made Xiaozhi exclaim in surprise without thinking.

but……

Several teenagers walked out of the dojo, cursing and swearing.

"Holy crap, that's way too strong! This is insane! How are we supposed to beat this gym?"

"How about we try the normal mode instead..."

"Normal mode is tough too, bro. You have to defeat that female monster's three spirits."

"Let's challenge the Dancing Girls' Gym first. I heard the girls there are much gentler, and you can get a badge if you win just once in Doubles mode."

"Oh? Then you guys go and try it first? Remember to let me know if you succeed. I still want to train here for a few days and see if I can get the badge now."
