Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Chief Trainer Drake
The owner of the figure is a robust Dragonite with orange scales, and next to Dragonite stands a young man in his twenties.
"Hurry... Dragonite!"
"Dragonite? Then he is... Drake?"
"What! He is Drake!!"
Ash and the others exclaimed.
Ash, why are you surprised? You will challenge Drake later, don't you know what he looks like?
"It seems that you all know me." Drake smiled, then looked at Gary, and asked, "Is this Tyranitar your Pokémon?"
"Yes," Gary admitted.
"Dragonite, it seems you have a rival in tomorrow's game," Drake said.
"Roar!"
Dragonite's eyes were fixed on Tyranitar.
It hasn't met a worthy rival for a long time because the challengers' strength is usually too weak, and Dragonite hasn't had the opportunity to play in many games.
Now, seeing the strong Tyranitar, Dragonite is very satisfied with this rival and is looking forward to fighting in tomorrow's game.
"Roar!!"
Tyranitar is also a fighter. It can feel that the Pokémon it has never seen before is very strong. Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two sides becomes a little tense.
Gary and Drake also looked at each other and both felt that tomorrow's game would be very exciting.
Of course, this is just Drake's feeling. Gary doesn't think he will lose.
Although Drake's Dragonite is of a high level, Gary is not afraid at all.
[LV65 Dragonite/Elite]
Drake's Dragonite is at the Elite level, and its potential is only at the Elite level, which is a bit lacking.
Look at the Dragonite of others. Both of them have the potential to be champions.
Even Gary and Lance's Dragonites have the potential to be champions.
"Dragonite, let's go," Drake said. He came here this time to see how strong tomorrow's rival is. When he saw Tyranitar, he knew that Gary was strong.
Drake jumped on the back of Dragonite, and Dragonite flew into the sky towards Pummelo Stadium.
"Roar."
Tyranitar cursed inwardly. It's amazing to be able to fly.
After Drake finished observing, Gary took back Tyranitar and went back to the room to rest.
...!
After a night, the next day.
On this day, Pummelo Stadium was crowded with people, and locals and tourists came to watch the Chief Trainer Challenge.
"Welcome everyone to watch the Chief Trainer Challenge.
This time the challenger is called Gary, from Pallet Town.
In addition, Gary is the champion of this year's Indigo Plateau Conference.
It can be seen that the game will be very exciting...
The audience who bought tickets today can feast their eyes."
The host introduced: "Okay! The challenger introduction ends here. Next, challenger Gary will appear on stage."
After speaking, Gary walked out of the passage, entered the stadium, and walked to the command area under the cheers of the audience.
"Okay! Next, the chief trainer of the Orange League, Drake, who has never lost a game so far, will appear on stage," the host introduced loudly.
The next moment.
The whole Pummelo Stadium was filled with noise.
Drake walked out of the passage and calmly accepted the cheers of the audience. He seemed to enjoy this feeling.
Both players have come to the command area.
"The next step is to hand it over to the referee, let's wait and see," the host said.
The referee looked at the two of them, and after confirming that both sides were ready, he raised the flag in his hand and announced: "Now let's start the 6-on-6 full-member battle between Gary and Drake. When three Pokémon of one of the two sides cannot fight, the battle venue must be changed."
"In addition, during the battle, the chief trainer cannot replace Pokémon, and the challenger can replace Pokémon freely."
While the referee was introducing the rules, the field began to change.
"The battle field is a rock and water field. What kind of Pokémon will both sides use to fight?"
The battle field is a rock field with a Poké Ball-shaped pool in the middle. The area is very small and not enough for water Pokémon to move around.
Dang!!
The battle bell rang.
"This is the first Pokémon I will send out," Drake threw the Poké Ball.
Great!
"Ditto!"
A pink Ditto appeared.
"Pink... Is it the Ditto from Pinkan Island?" Gary thought to himself.
Ditto itself is light purple, and there is a pink island in the Orange Islands, also called Pinkan Island.
A special fruit called pink tangerine fruit grows on the island. If Pokémon eat it for a long time, the color of their body will turn pink.
This Ditto must have eaten the pink tangerine fruit, which caused its body to turn pink.
"The first Pokémon that Chief Trainer Drake sent out was Ditto."
"Although it only has one skill, Transform, its ability to transform into thousands of forms is enough to play with its rival," the host introduced.
[LV55 Ditto/Elite]
"Ditto, Eevee, you go," Gary waved his hand.
"Eevee!"
Eevee jumped from Gary's shoulder into the field.
"Challenger Gary sent out the first Pokémon, Eevee.
Although Eevee can evolve into many forms, the strength of the unevolved Eevee does not seem to be very impressive."
The host did not know how to introduce Eevee.
After all, Eevee has not evolved.
Such unevolved Pokémon are rare in public competitions, especially the Orange League's Chief Trainer Challenge, which is more difficult than the finals of the Indigo Plateau Conference. "It turned out to be Eevee."
"Are you worried that if you send out a too strong Pokémon, it will be transformed by my Ditto?"
Drake thought to himself.
Ditto ultimately depends on whether the Pokémon sent by its rival is strong.
If the Pokémon sent by its rival is weak, Ditto will not be too strong.
The battle begins. "Ditto, Transform!" Drake said.
Ditto's whole body glowed with white light, and its body quickly squirmed in the light, forming the physique of Eevee.
When the white light dissipated, an Eevee appeared. "Eevee!"
Eevee saw Ditto transform and was not surprised, because after watching the video of the game, it knew that Ditto would transform into its rival to fight.
How could a fake rival be the real one?
"You can transform, but can you use this move..." Gary was also curious about whether Ditto could use the skills that Eevee mastered after transforming into Eevee.
Gary ordered: "Thunderbolt!"
"Eevee!"
Eevee immediately shot out a Thunderbolt, which hit Ditto at lightning speed, and Ditto also took the Thunderbolt.
"You actually know Thunderbolt, then we will use Thunderbolt too!" Drake counterattacked.
"Ditto!" Ditto was about to use Thunderbolt, but its body could not condense electricity.
"Huh?!" Drake was puzzled, not understanding why it was at a loss.
