"I'm planning to travel to the Hoenn Region," Gary said.
"The Hoenn Region is very far from the Kanto Region. Are you planning to attend the Alliance Conference held there?" Professor Oak asked.
"It depends. I should attend," Gary replied.
"Okay, I want to go too!" Ash, who was eating, heard that Gary was going to attend the Alliance Conference in the Hoenn Region. He must avenge his previous defeat this time.
"Of course, you have to attend. As my rival, if you can't even win a Conference Champion, you are not worthy of being my rival," Gary said.
"Gary, you wait for me. I will definitely beat you in the next Alliance Conference," Ash said firmly.
"Really? It's hard for you to win the Alliance Conference with me there. If, I won't attend the Alliance Conference in the Hoenn Region, so you have a chance to win the championship?" Gary teased.
Ash's current strength is decent, especially under Gary's intentional or unintentional training.
Ash's strength is much stronger than in the original plot. As long as he doesn't make mistakes in the Ever Grande Conference, it will be no problem for him to win the championship.
In the original storyline, Ash participated in the Ever Grande Conference and stopped in the top 8, defeated by the champion Tyson. It was not easy for Tyson to defeat Ash, as he won by a narrow margin with Meowth.
This is mainly because the Pokémon Ash used in the Ever Grande Conference were mostly captured in the Hoenn Region.
If he used his older Pokémon, it would be the Alliance Conference where Ash had the best chance of winning the championship.
As long as Ash doesn't waste time and Gary doesn't participate in the Ever Grande Conference, it won't be difficult for Ash to win the championship.
"You don't have to let me I will defeat you at the Alliance Conference in the Hoenn Region," Ash said firmly.
Gary had a headache because the system issued tasks. In the Alliance Conference after Gary, it is estimated that the Pokémon used in the previous Alliance Conference will not be able to be used.
It is okay to use them, but the rewards will not be doubled.
Gary has so many Pokémon to upgrade, and doubling the rewards is still very important to him.
If Ash continues to use the Pokémon from the Kanto Region at the Ever Grande Conference, the strength of these Pokémon will definitely be between quasi-elite and elite.
After all, Pikachu and Charizard have reached the Elite level, and Ash's Snorlax will sooner or later enter the Elite level, and Bulbasaur has also evolved, and it is likely to evolve into Venusaur.
In this way, Ash already has 4 Elite-level Pokémon at the Ever Grande Conference, and the number of quasi-God Pokémon is even greater.
This strength is enough for Ash to challenge Gary.
"Then you work hard," Gary said, not caring at all, as Ash was still far from his peak.
...!
The next day.
The second round of the Silver Conference Final Tournament began.
The stadium was bustling with people because the first game was the highlight.
Gary vs. Harrison!
The two players were already standing in the command area, waiting for the game to start.
"Let's see what the battlefield will be..."
The field icon on the big screen began to rotate, and the red flashing light stayed on the green leaf logo.
"It's the grass battlefield."
As soon as the words fell, the field opened to both sides, revealing the grass field below, and the field quickly rose to the platform.
"Okay, let's see who will attack first."
The light on the screen stayed at Meadow Zone, indicating that the green player attacked first.
"Gary attacked first!" said the host.
Gary didn't expect that he would attack first. According to the Pokémon Harrison used in the previous game, there were no Electric-type Pokémon, so he didn't have to worry about being targeted when using Water-type Pokémon.
"Gyarados, you come to be the vanguard!" Gary threw the Poké Ball.
Great!
A huge red body appeared on the field.
"Gyarados, it's actually red!!" Harrison was shocked. He also checked Gary's information.
Gyarados was indeed used in this conference, but the Gyarados picture given in the Silver Conference computer was an ordinary Gyarados, and there was no introduction that it was a shiny Gyarados.
"Oh my god! Red Gyarados, so cool!!"
"Gary actually has a Gyarados, what a surprise."
"I don't know how strong this Gyarados is."
Ash was also surprised. He didn't expect Gary to have another Gyarados.
"Professor Oak, when did Gary capture the Gyarados?" Ash asked curiously.
"I don't know either. I can be sure that Gary captured it in the Johto Region. However, this Gyarados is really big. I really want to study it," Professor Oak said, now thinking about how to study Gary's Gyarados.
Ash and others were used to Professor Oak's behavior.
"Kecleon, I leave it to you," Harrison threw out the Poké Ball.
Great!
A green figure appeared on the grass, and the color of its body immediately blended with the green of the field.
[LV46 Kecleon/Gym]
Seeing that both of them sent out Pokémon, the referee announced: "Gary will attack first, and the game begins."
"Gyarados, use Aqua Tail!" Gary ordered.
Gyarados raised its tail, and a layer of water flow wrapped around it. At this time, Harrison suddenly shouted: "Kecleon, hide, hide in the grass."
Kecleon immediately became invisible, but the pattern on its belly did not disappear and could still be seen. However, Kecleon jumped directly into the deeper grass and lost its trace in an instant.
Because the grass field is divided into shallow grass area and deep grass area, the grass in the deep grass area is very lush, basically more than 1 meter.
Gyarados lost its target and did not rush to attack. It wanted to find Kecleon in the grass, but it couldn't find it at all.
"Use Fire Blast on the deep grass area," Gary ordered.
"Roar!!"
Fire burst out of Gyarados' mouth, and a ball of flames spit up, and the flames quickly rushed to the deep grass area.
Boom!
The grass was instantly ignited by the flames, and Kecleon rushed out of the deep grass area in a hurry.
"What... It can actually have fire skills!!" Harrison was also very surprised. It was the first time he saw a Water-type Pokémon use a fire skill.
"What! Gyarados can actually use Fire Blast, Professor, is this possible?" Ash exclaimed.
"This... I heard that there are some powerful Trainers who can teach Gyarados to master fire skills," Professor Oak said.
"Yes, I have seen it," Misty nodded. As a Trainer specializing in Water-type Pokémon, she naturally knew that Gyarados could learn fire skills, though it is very difficult.
Ash immediately showed a bitter face. If that's the case, Gary is not a very powerful Trainer, is it possible for him to...?
"Aqua Tail!!" Gary ordered.
