"Hoo~"
Gary took a deep breath, took out his Poké Ball, and recalled his Kadabra.
He walked towards Bai Yu.
He lost this time, but he would definitely not lose next time!
"This match was quite exciting."
Facing Gary, Bai Yu didn't hold back.
"I lost this time, but I won't lose next time."
Gary clenched his fists. Losing is losing, but he would definitely win next time.
This defeat was nothing.
"Then we'll see."
"After all, you are Professor Oak's grandson, aren't you?"
Bai Yu's words put considerable pressure on Gary.
A small wave of emotion stirred within him.
It was the same words again. No matter which trainer learned his name was Professor Oak, they would mention his grandfather.
He was proving to those guys that he hadn't gotten here, to the Indigo League stage, and to the position of League Champion because of his grandfather.
This loss in the match.
And Bai Yu mentioned Professor Oak, his grandfather.
This caused Xiao Mao's rebellious streak to erupt once again.
However… he lost this match.
He had nothing to say.
"It's Grandpa's name again~ Maybe so."
Xiao Mao, his face drooping, turned and walked towards the edge of the gym.
At this moment, deep down, he had perhaps accepted his so-called identity.
No matter what he did, he couldn't escape the identity of his grandfather. "I don't think I said anything wrong, did I?"
Bai Yu frowned. He had only mentioned the other person's identity.
There shouldn't have been any sarcasm in his tone.
What was wrong with that guy?
Was he not Professor Oak's grandson?
"Wait a minute!
That signature hairstyle, that outfit, the way he uses his Pokémon, and his self-identification are all enough to prove his identity.
He wouldn't make such a basic mistake. Although I haven't played the first generation games in a long time, I definitely wouldn't mistake a person.
" "Shigeru!"
Green wasn't idle either, walking towards Shigeru.
This guy didn't want to do anything stupid.
It was just a loss in one match, he couldn't let it affect his determination to become a champion.
Green valued Shigeru quite a bit; Shigeru's training level was in no way inferior to his.
It's just that Shigeru was playful by nature, and he only trained Pokémon according to his own interests.
That Wartortle and Kadabra were enough to show Shigeru's dedication. It's just a pity that Bai Yu's fighting style was too unconventional, so it was normal for him to be caught off guard.
"Green, aren't you planning to compete in the next match?"
"I just prepared another powerful weapon for him."
Bai Yu already had a Magneton Poké Ball in his hand.
Compared to the Seed Ball, Magneton was even more disgusting.
Unfortunately, the Kanto Region still lacks TMs like Stealth Rock.
If Magneton could learn those moves, it might make the matches more interesting, since a single Seed Ball Pokémon isn't enough to defeat all trainers!
"Gary! Are you really willing to lose like this?" Oak Azure
, who had chased after him, stood directly in front of Gary.
It was just one loss; even his grandfather had lost matches back in the day.
No trainer could win every match.
Only by losing once could one know their shortcomings.
Oak Azure didn't want Gary to sink into despair.
"I lost, I lost! I don't need excuses."
"I've already tested you and found out what that guy's strength is."
"The rest is up to you."
Gary's face still couldn't hide his previous defeat, but his eyes were filled with a determination he hadn't shown before.
This match gave him a truly extraordinary experience of Pokémon battles.
It also gave him a deeper understanding of so-called non-combat moves.
He realized that Pokémon battles could be won in such a way.
This was a Pokémon battle he had never seen before.
However, next time, he would definitely not lose to the same tactic!
"Shigeru, I believe we will face off at the Indigo League next time."
Oak Azure looked at the spirited Shigeru.
She guessed that he had recovered from the earlier setback.
If Shigeru could change his careless personality and be more cautious, he would definitely stand on the stage of the Indigo League and become one of her formidable opponents.
"Then see you at the Indigo League." After
Shigeru finished speaking, he left with his cheerleaders.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never once won a head-on battle against Oak Azure.
In every battle, Shigeru tried his best, but unfortunately, he was still ruthlessly crushed by his opponent.
Even his grandfather said that his talent was a rare monstrous trainer, one in nearly a hundred years. His
mastery of the power of nurturing was far superior to hers.
Perhaps only Red could defeat such a monster trainer.
After all, Red's battle talent was praised even by his own grandfather.
He would become the strongest trainer in the entire Kanto Region, and even the entire world!
"I will never lose another match!"
"Seed Ball, Thunder Wave, Stealth Rock, and Demolish—these moves are indeed very effective."
"Perhaps I can train a similar Pokémon."
The Seed Ball that appeared in the previous match flashed through Gary's mind.
Such a powerful Pokémon gave Gary a mischievous idea.
He planned to ask his grandfather to get one from the Unova Region,
and also learn a move like Stealth Rock.
"Are you a trainer who just came from the Macha Gym?!"
Just as Gary was still thinking about how to get the Seed Ball from his grandfather
, a trainer walked towards him. His gaze fell on Gary, showing considerable interest in Gary's strength.
Gary looked at the trainer in front of him, a trainer who looked about his own age.
The trainer standing before him was none other than Shinji, who had previously lost to Shiraha.
During the time since his defeat, Shinji hadn't left Macha City.
He'd stayed at the Pokémon Center, battling and constantly improving his Pokémon's strength,
all in an effort to defeat his opponent.
He simply couldn't bear to continue his journey without defeating him!
Today, just as he was about to challenge the Macha Gym again, he saw Gary emerging from the gym.
"What do you want?!"
For some reason, Gary felt a sense of unease upon seeing Shinji.
"Did you beat that trainer?"
Shinji's blunt question made Gary frown.
"How could I possibly lose!"
"What a joke!"
Gary retorted stubbornly; he would never admit defeat.
To his surprise, Shinji seemed somewhat taken aback.
"Thenlet's have a match!"
"?"
"What did you say?!" Gary stared at Shinji.
This guy, could he have also lost to that gym?
This… he'd blown his own horn!
