The entrance of Jade Rainbow Dojo.
【Ding! Task released: Obtain Jade Rainbow Dojo badge/Rewards: Intermediate Wonder Candy X10, Permanent skill learning device Sunlight Technique, Top-grade Miracle Seed (Grass-type skill power increased by 50%) X1】
The system task is activated. Judging from the rewards, it's quite good, at least it proves that Lily isn't a weak trainer.
Moreover, in the original storyline, Ash didn't defeat Lily.
Ash got the badge because he risked his own life to save Lily's Gloom, and because of her gratitude, she gave the badge to Ash.
However, Ash's kind deed of risking his own life for Pokemon could gain the recognition of any trainer, so it was perfectly fine to give him the badge.
Gary and Nuzleaf walked to the door.
"Welcome!"
The glass door automatically opened to both sides. Two young women stood inside, both apprentices of the Dojo and also employees of the perfume shop. They were specially responsible for reception work on the Dojo side.
"Two, what are you here for?" A woman with black shoulder-length hair stepped forward and asked.
"I'm here to challenge the Dojo." Gary stated his intention.
"Okay, follow me, please."
The woman enthusiastically brought Gary and Nuzleaf into the Dojo's training ground.
"Wait a moment, I'll go inform Lily-san."
The woman went inside the Dojo to inform Lily.
After a short while, Lily came together with the woman.
"Hello, I'm Lily, the Dojo master of Jade Rainbow Dojo. Are you the challenger?" Lily introduced herself.
"Yes, Miss Lily, hello, my name is Gary, I'm from Pallet Town." Gary replied.
"I see. How many badges do you have now?" Lily asked.
"Five."
Lily was stunned. To challenge her Dojo, only three badges were required, and Gary had five badges. This strength was not weak.
"I accept your challenge, we can begin."
Lily agreed to Gary's challenge.
They both went to the command area on either side.
Lily nodded to the woman in the referee area and said, "Okay, we can begin."
The woman in the referee area nodded and announced, "The Dojo match will now begin. The number of Pokemon used is three. Only the challenger has the right to replace Pokemon. The match begins."
"Then, Tangela, you go first!" Lily threw out a Pokeball.
Bang!
A strange Pokemon with its entire body wrapped in vines appeared.
【LV23 Tangela ♂/Elite】
"Only level 23...?" Gary was puzzled. It was already an Intermediate Wonder Candy, why was Lily's Pokemon only level 23.
The previous Cerulean Dojo, the lowest level Pokemon was at least 28.
Lily, at least with a ranking similar to Oak's, the weakest Pokemon should be at least above level 25.
"Alakazam, you go first." Gary also threw out a Pokeball.
Bang!
【LV23 Alakazam ♂/Elite Four】
Gary sent out Alakazam, the levels of both Pokemon were the same, and the fight should be very exciting.
Seeing Alakazam, Lily's expression became serious. She couldn't see the Pokemon's level, but she also knew that Alakazam was a very powerful Psychic-type Pokemon, and it also targeted Lily's Pokemon very well.
Although Lily was a Grass-type trainer, most of her Grass-type Pokemon had Poison-type, and Poison-type Pokemon were countered by Psychic-type.
"Alakazam, use Psychic." Gary commanded.
"Ala!"
Alakazam's eyes glowed blue, and a strong Psychic force instantly bound Tangela, the wriggling vines on its body instantly became immobile, and its entire body flew out, crashing against the wall outside the field.
Bang!!
Tangela cried out in pain, this collision caused a lot of damage to it.
"Psychic's power has increased a lot." Nuzleaf, who was watching the battle, was also surprised.
Nuzleaf had also nurtured this Alakazam, and she was very aware that this Alakazam's psychic power was not as strong as her own Alakazam, but the Psychic skill power it had just unleashed was very strong, clearly able to suppress her Alakazam.
Even though they all did the same training, why did Gary's Alakazam surpass her own Alakazam.
Nuzleaf didn't know that Gary's Alakazam carried a Bent Spoon, it was also of Top-grade quality, Psychic-type skill power increased by 50%, which naturally surpassed Nuzleaf's Alakazam.
"Psycho Cut!" Gary continued to pursue the attack.
Alakazam crossed the two spoons in its hand, a wave of psychic energy enveloped the spoons, and then, a ray of magic light formed by psychic energy burst out and shot towards Tangela.
The short-legged Tangela ran extremely slowly, and it couldn't dodge at all. Lily didn't give any instructions either.
Bang!!
Psycho Cut hit.
Tangela was sent flying out and directly fell to the ground unconscious.
Tangela had high defense, but its special defense was not good, unable to withstand Alakazam's two skills.
"Tangela is unable to battle, Alakazam wins!" The little sister in the referee area immediately announced.
"He's indeed a trainer who can get five badges, he's not someone ordinary Pokemon can deal with."
Lily took back Tangela, and then sent out her second Pokemon.
"Victreebel, I'm counting on you."
Bang!
Victreebel, with a pair of eyes and a trumpet-shaped body, appeared.
【LV28 Victreebel ♂/Normal】
"Why didn't it evolve?"
Seeing Victreebel's level, Gary was puzzled, this level was already very high, and it could have used a Leaf Stone to evolve into a Venusaur almost instantly.
Also, he didn't know what Lily was thinking, the outside of the Dojo used transparent glass as a wall, why was the battlefield area closed, able to receive sunlight, Grass-type Pokemon's combat strength and reaction speed would get a certain increase.
"Psychic!" Although Victreebel's level was high, Gary didn't plan to replace Pokemon, with Alakazam's current combat power, defeating this Victreebel was no problem.
"Ala!"
Alakazam's eyes glowed blue, Psychic instantly enveloped Victreebel, its body unable to move.
"Victreebel use Acid!" Lily was not to be trifled with, she immediately launched a counterattack.
Even though it was bound by Psychic, Victreebel's mouth could still use spraying skills, a puddle of purple poison sprayed out and splashed towards Alakazam.
Seeing this, Alakazam immediately let go of Victreebel, using Psychic to reflect the incoming poison back, splashing it all over Victreebel, but Poison-type Pokemon didn't have much effect on Alakazam.
"Psycho Cut!"
"Solar Beam!"
Alakazam released Psycho Cut.
Victreebel also used Solar Beam at the same time.
The two skills collided, the light beam instantly shattered the Solar Beam blocking in front of it and hit Victreebel.
"Kaa!"
Super effective!!
Victreebel cried out in pain.
"So weak."
Gary felt that Lily's Pokemon were too weak, only having a high level, but their combat abilities were too weak.
It was so strange that Lily cultivated a Victreebel with Normal potential, she really didn't know what Lily was thinking.
