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

Even with Ash sitting in the front, plus luggage, Misty, and Rin, it can easily carry them all by plane.

Moreover, it flies steadily and quickly in the air.

With his eyes closed, Xiao Zhi carefully felt the cold wind blowing across his face, and his mood became pleasant.

What used to be a five-hour journey is now almost over in just one hour by air.

Soon, a city built in the forest appeared before Ash and his friends.

"It feels so good to fly like this!"

"Yes, that's what I think too."

"Huh, what's that sound?" Xiaoxia was startled. Xiaozhi hadn't spoken, so where did the other boys' voices come from?

She hurriedly looked around, but there was no one in mid-air at all.

"Could it be haunted?" Xiaoxia became a little scared.

"Xiaoxia, look up! We have guests!" Xiaozhi had noticed the guy flying with her in the sky a long time ago.

Looking up, Xiaoxia indeed spotted a blue-haired man with a gugu-like appearance perched on the shoulder of a glider flying in the distance above.

Beside him was a giant Pidgeot, which smiled and waved to Ash and his friends below before slowly approaching.

"Sorry if I startled you. I just couldn't help but say hello when I saw other people enjoying flying."

"No, no." Ash saw the other person's glider and was reminded of his own flight characteristics.

It's been so long since I've upgraded again. Maybe I can put some effort into training to fly in the sky, just like the man in front of me.

"The sky is so beautiful. You look familiar. My name is Asu, and I want to become the strongest Flying-type Pokémon trainer."

"Some people think that Flying-type and Bird-type Pokémon are doomed once they get hit by electricity, but I want to tell them that Pokémon are not such shallow creatures, and they will never be underestimated!"

He seems to be a young man with lofty ambitions. Xiaozhi doesn't dislike people like that, after all, he also has lofty ideals.

"Hello, my name is Ash, and my dream is to become a Pokémon Master!"

"You're Ash Ketchum, the champion of this year's Kanto League Tournament?"

Asu suddenly remembered where he had seen Ash's face before, and immediately excitedly maneuvered his glider to get a little closer.

"I watched all the matches back then, and your Pokémon were really strong, especially that Pidgeot..."

"But my Pidgeot lost the competition back then, it lost to Junai Makoto..."

"Is this guy mocking me?" Ash thought to himself, but then he saw Asahi's smug expression and thought otherwise.

It's truly nostalgic, though, as Pidgeot now spends most of its time reigning supreme among the Pidgey flock in Professor Oak's backyard.

Ash would occasionally use it for training, but it didn't get many opportunities to appear.

"You flatter me. Your Pidgeot is also very well trained."

Ash's Pidgeot is a whole size bigger than Ash's, and this is the first time Ash has lost in a size comparison of the same type of Pokémon.

It's obvious that the trainer has put a lot of effort into raising it.

"Haha, Pidgeot is not only loyal to its owner, but also very reliable. It can be said to be the best bird Pokémon!"

"I agree." Pidgeot is indeed very reliable when Ash is lost; even Misty relied on Pidgeot back then.

"It's great that you think so too. Maybe we can get along really well."

Asu was overjoyed that a powerful trainer agreed with his point of view.

"By the way, are you here in Kikyo City for tourism?"

"No, I came to Violet City to challenge the Gym Leaders."

"what!"

"Is there a problem? Why are you making that face?" Ash was puzzled by Asu's surprised look.

"That's me, Soso, the trainer at the Kikyo Gym."

"what!"

I never expected to encounter a gym leader in mid-air.

Ash and his friends decided to go directly to the Violet Gym with Frye, saving them the trouble of finding it themselves.

Chapter 195 Can You Fly Without Wings?

Arriving at the Kikyo Gym, Ash was somewhat stunned by the towering building that resembled a postmodern work of art.

Are all the museum owners in the Johto region this avant-garde?

Perhaps sensing Ash's confusion, Asahi smiled sheepishly.

"I'm sorry for building it like this, it's just my own hobby."

Everyone followed Asu and took the elevator to the top floor of the dojo. He had already made arrangements for the battleground in advance.

This is an open-air battle arena, and a row of apprentices from the Kikyo Gym are standing around the arena.

Everyone was dressed in clothing similar to karate training uniforms, and Xiaozhi even saw that a few of them were carrying drums.

There, we shouted encouragement and told each other to show our backbone.

Speaking of Ash's Philosophy Gym, during every battle, the students would stand in a row and shout.

However, the content is somewhat different.

Whenever the gym loses a battle, they all shout "1! 5!" and then let out a foul roar.

The team held extra training sessions after the competition.

If the challenger loses, they will be presented with "very fresh, very delicious!" Dark City specialty: freshly squeezed durian juice.

They have become one of the two main features of the Philosophy Dojo, along with the muscular men.

Therefore, even when Ash and Suicune are away for a long time, challengers still flock to the Philosopher's Gym.

The philosophical and Taoist temples really played a significant role in enabling the Dark City to develop so rapidly.

It's just puzzling why there are so many male trainers challenging the Philosopher's Gym.

Ash led Ash and his friends to the battle arena. "Let's hurry up and start the gym challenge!"

"The rules are three against three, and only the challenger can freely change their Pokémon."

"No problem." The dojo challenge in Johto is not much different from that in Kanto; the rules are pretty much the same.

However, Asu added an extra sentence.

"Although this is the first gym you challenge in the Johto region, Ash is, after all, the champion of the League Tournament. You can't be treated like a rookie trainer."

"Therefore, I will not show any mercy!"

"Bring it on, Aso!" Ash couldn't have been happier.

"Then this will be my first Pokémon, let's go, Goooo."

"Goo~Goo~"

A small owl with a round head that took up its entire body appeared on the battlefield with sharp eyes.

Ash also sent out his first general.

"It's time to put our preparations for this Taoist temple competition to good use. We've chosen you, Circle Bear!"

Ash naturally took the first strike.

"Circy Bear, use Ice Punch!"

"Roar!" As soon as Circle Bear appeared, it immediately waved its fists and roared as it charged towards Gugu.

"Looks like you came prepared, Ash, but it's impossible to defeat me easily just by relying on type advantage!"

"Go, go, fly!"

As expected of a Flying-type Gym Leader's Pokémon, Goooo leaped from the ground and soared into the sky.

Having reached high in the sky, they dodged the Circle Bear's incredibly powerful Freeze Punch.

"It's been trained very well, this little guy."

Ordinary cuckoos, due to their small wings, can usually only glide between trees.

And Asu's Gugu can fly so high.

"I said I wanted to become the strongest bird Pokémon trainer, and I wasn't kidding. Let me show you how powerful bird Pokémon are!"

"Gugu, use Air Blade!"

Looking up at the gugu in the sky, Asu felt a surge of pride, while the surrounding dojo apprentices cheered him on.

"Circle Bear, don't dodge, use Bodybuilding!"

Although this Cuckoo is very well trained, Ash's Ursaring is equally incredibly tanky.

Several air blades slashed down from the sky, but the circle bear remained completely still.

He raised his arms, roared loudly, and struck a bodybuilding pose, instantly boosting his attack and defense.

"What an amazing Circular Bear!" Asu's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Continue with the Air Blade!"

Gugu is still flying in the sky, while Quanquan Bear doesn't have many ranged skills, which is its advantage.

Similarly, once Goose is defeated, Ash has secured the victory.

"Circle Bear, use high-speed star."

"Dodge and keep using Air Blade."

A curtain of light formed by stars kept sweeping across the sky, and Gugu nimbly dodged among the stars.

Every now and then, it would fire a few air blades at the Circly Bear below, but these attacks did not shake the Circly Bear at all.

The situation reached a stalemate for a moment.

At this moment, Ash keenly observed the trajectory of Gugu's movement.

"Now! Ursaring, use Destruction Beam!"

"What?! Goooo, get out of the way!"

Unfortunately, it was too late; all of Googoo's actions were anticipated by Ash's beast-like intuition.

The circly bear opened its mouth wide, and a beam of light filled with terror instantly shot out.

The cuckoo was caught off guard and was hit directly. The powerful force caused it to instantly fall to the ground, its body smoking.

At this moment, no matter how much the apprentices behind Asu shouted to show their backbone, it was all in vain.

"Cuckoo is unable to battle, Ash wins the first match." The referee raised the flag immediately after observing the battle situation.

"Come back, thank you for your hard work, Gugu."

"As expected of you, Ash! The champion is really strong, but I won't give up easily in order to prove the power of bird Pokémon!"

Asu took out his second Pokémon.

"Go, Todori!"

A three-headed brown ostrich appeared on the battlefield.

"For me, Dodori is the origin of the Pokémon series, representing my dream of one day flying high in the sky."

"It was precisely because I wanted to fly that I ultimately became a bird Pokémon Trainer!"

"Really? I understand how you feel." Ash even wanted to take Groudon with him when he flew up into the sky.

"Is Circle Bear okay?"
