I, Gary, Want to Become a Pokemon Master

"Thank you for your hard work." Ruby took back the Nidoqueen, then came to Gary and handed him the Sea-Ruby Badge.

"Thank you." Gary responded politely and took the badge in his hand.

[Ding! Mission completed, rewards have been distributed to the space backpack.]

"You are very strong, I believe you can become an honorary trainer of the Orange Alliance," Ruby said.

"I hope so," Gary said.

After the battle, Gary checked the space backpack to see what skills and items were rewarded.

- [Rest permanent skill learning device!]

- [Superb Focus Sash (When a Pokémon is about to be defeated, it can resist two effective attacks from the opponent without injury.) x1]

"Oh my god, this Focus Sash is good, but the random skills are a bit lacking."

The random skill learning device is useful, but there is an advantage of the Rest skill, that is, except for a few Pokémon that cannot learn it, all Pokémon can learn this skill.

In this way, Gary can teach the Rest skill to all Pokémon he captures in the future, which is equivalent to getting 10 points of intimacy for free.

The ultimate Focus Sash is also very good. When the physical strength is close to the limit, it can resist two effective attacks without injury. 

This is very useful. 

It can be carried by Pokémon with Endeavor and Reversal skills. It can resist two attacks and achieve 1 for 1 or even 1 for 2.

It was getting late.

After getting the Sea-Ruby Badge, Gary rested on Navel Island. There was no Pokémon Center on this island. 

Pokémon were restored by soaking in the snow mountain hot springs. To go to the Pokémon Center, you have to go to the nearby town.

After resting for a night on Navel Island, Gary left on Articuno the next day and flew to Trovita Island.

It was not that Gary did not want to take transportation, but the sea around Trovita Island was difficult to travel.

There are many towering rocks and whirlpools around Trovita Island.

If you want to go to Trovita Island, you can only go to Orange Island first.

The route there is safer, but the journey is long.

Gary wants to get the title of Chief Trainer before Ash and doesn't want to waste time.

After all, it took almost two months to capture the Three Legendary Birds, and the chapter of the Orange Islands is very short.

Ash only spent two or three months to complete the journey.

Gary has to speed up.

After several hours of flying, Gary arrived at Trovita Island and landed in a deserted place.

Articuno is a Legendary Pokémon after all.

It will inevitably cause a sensation if it appears in a place with too many people.

Although Gary doesn't care, he will inevitably encounter bad people.

As far as Gary knows, Professor Sebastian of Team Rocket has been keeping an eye on the Three Legendary Birds and the Three Legendary Beasts.

The power plant in Cerulean City before was the crystal device developed by Professor Sebastian to capture Zapdos.

Gary remembered that in the side story, Professor Sebastian upgraded the crystal device to capture Raikou.

There is also a Dr. Namba who also has ideas about Lugia, but was stopped by Ash and Ritchie in the end.

It must be said that the professors in Team Rocket are all talented, and the machines they invented can capture Legendary Pokémon.

Arriving at Trovita Island, Gary went to Trovita Gym.

Compared with other gyms, Trovita Gym is much more normal. Although there are changes in the battle rules, it is still a Pokémon battle. 

The key is that their gym is truly built, unlike Ruby who doesn't even have a gym.

Arrived in front of Trovita Gym.

[Ding! Post the task, get Trovita Gym Badge/Task Reward: Advanced Rare Candy x5, Random Permanent Skill Learner, Random In-Battle Effect Item x1!]

The system has posted the task, and the rewards are similar to those when challenging Navel Gym. 

The only difference is that the number of Rare Candy has changed from 3 to 5, which should be due to the battle between multiple Pokémon.

Gary pressed the doorbell.

After a ring, the door of the gym opened automatically, and a Mahri stood inside.

 Mahri looked at Gary, and immediately showed a cheerful smile, and asked happily: " brother, what are you doing here?"

Gary looked down at Mahri, who should be Ruby's sister. As for her name, Gary had long forgotten it.

"Hello, my name is Gary, I am here to challenge Trovita Gym, is the gym leader here?" Gary asked.

"Gary... Such a familiar name, I seem to have heard it somewhere." Mahri made a bitter face, recalling where she had heard this name.

Gary was also a confused, could it be that Ash had revealed his affairs in front of Mahri?

In order not to waste time, Gary interrupted Mahri's thinking and took the initiative to say: "I participated in this year's Indigo Plateau Conference, maybe you have seen me on TV."

"So that's how it is." 

Mahri nodded and introduced herself: "My name is Mahri, my brother is the owner of Trovita Gym, I'll go call him."

After that, Mahri ran to the gym to call Ruby over.

Gary, an outsider, couldn't walk around randomly, so he waited in the hall.

"Mahri, I'm chatting with sister Marina, you interrupted me at this time, do you still want to be your sister-in-law?" After a while, a man's voice came from the door.

Gary was sweating.

Then he remembered that Ruby was also an LSP like Brock, but Ruby liked young girls, while Brock liked mature older sisters.

Soon, Mahri led a man and a woman out of the gym.

Gary looked at the man and the woman and was shocked because he knew both of them.

The man was naturally Ruby, the owner of Trovita Gym, and the woman was Marina, who Ash met when he traveled to the Orange Islands.

She was an NPC that appeared in "Bye Bye Psyduck, Here Comes Golduck."

Marina, like Misty, was also a Water-type Pokémon Trainer, but why did she appear here? Is she also challenging the Orange League?

"Brother, hurry up, someone is here to challenge the gym."

Mahri urged anxiously, pulling Ruby to Gary. "Hello, my name is Gary, and I'm here to challenge Trovita Gym," Gary said.

"So handsome." Marina saw Gary and secretly sighed that Gary was handsome.

Ruby was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this. He was pursuing Marina, and how could he tolerate Marina praising Gary for being handsome?

"Gary, right? Since you are here to challenge the gym, I will let you taste the taste of defeat," Ruby said.

Gary knew that Ruby was quite conceited. If it was Ash, he would definitely not accept it and want to fight Ruby, but Gary would not do that.

"Really, the gym leader who was defeated by my defeated opponent, are you sure you can let me taste the taste of defeat?" Gary said with a smile.

"Who is the defeated opponent?" Ruby asked immediately.
