Ash's Paldea Story

Chapter 24 Lavincia Gym Battle

When we arrive at the battlefield where Iono and I are going to have a Gym battle, she is having her Rotom Phone out and says, "Ladies and gentlemens! Are you readyyyyyy?!"

I can hear the crowd cheering around us, and I am getting a little nervous. I think Iono is going to do her second stream to film our battle.

"Your eyeballs are MINE—caught in my Electroweb! Whosawhatsit? Iono! 'Ello, 'ello, hola! Ciao and bonjour!"

And the crowd is also saying the same things like 'Ello, 'ello, hola. Iono says, "It's time for the Iono Zone, everybody!"

She twirls around and the Rotom Phone she has moved so that it is also filming me. "Today's challenger is flyin' high like a Wattrel! Iiit's Ash! Yayyy"

Just then, the Rotom Phone suddenly zooms in front of me, much to my surprise. Iono walks towards me and says, "How're ya feelin' about this battle, Ash?"

"Well, I'm going to do my best, right, buddy?" I ask my Pikachu, and he agrees.

"Nice Pikachu you have here!" Iono pets the Pokemon, and says, "Boom! We got a straight talker here, 'eyyy? No nonsense! I like it! All righty, then! Who's ready to see me kick some butt?"

The crowd is cheering, and I can also see that Lillie and Reisa are worried for me because of the fans, Lillie says, "Hey, Reisa! This user Electro King is giving Iono 5000 dollars!"

"Really? He sponsored her that much money?" Reisa gasps.

"Looks like you're all gettin' hyped! Ah... Thank ye muchly, Electro King!"

The staff member comes as Iono walks back to the other side of the field. "The battle between the Lavincia Gym Leader Iono and the challenger Ash Ketchum is about to begin. Each trainer will be using 6 Pokemon, and when one loses all 6 Pokemon, the other trainer wins."

"Let's get this show on the road! How strong is our challenger? I 'unno! Let's find out together! Go! Kilowattrel!"

Her first Pokemon is also a Flying Type? That means Ground Type moves aren't going to work this time.

"Okay, Garganacl, I choose you!" I send out my newest team member as we begin the battle.

"Gimme a battle that'll electrify all my viewer pals! Let's start up with the Tailwind!"

As the winds start to blow, I know it is going to move faster, I say, "Garganacl! Stealth Rock!"

I also decide to set up the field, and Iono smiles, "Now that's an entrance! Discharge!"

When it starts to shoot electricity at Garganacl, I let it take the hit before smirking, "Recover!"

And Garganacl recovers the damage that it takes. "Now use Salt Cure!"

Garganacl pours some salt on the bird Pokemon, dealing a lot of damage, and also traps it like some sort of Sand Tomb.

Kilowattrel uses Hurricane, even though it doesn't do that much damage, but it makes Garganacl confused, then it keeps using Quick Attack, but when I have Garganacl uses Stone Edge, the bird Pokemon is finished.

"Oh man... Kilowattrel lost. But that means I can show you, my next partner! Come! Electrode!"

Electrode? Why did she have such an exploding Pokemon? Reisa says, "Garganacl is still in the confusion state..."

"Indeed. Ash will have to work hard if he wants to win this." Lillie and Reisa jump as they see that Director Clavell is standing beside them.

"Director Clavell?" Lillie asks in shock.
