"Big Sister Sakura also lost!" Daisy and Lily were a little disappointed. Although they didn't manage the gym much, losing always felt bad.
"Sigh... No choice. Come back, Cloyster. You worked hard. You tried your best." Sakura recalled Cloyster. It was also her first time encouraging a Pokémon after a battle by speaking to its Poke Ball.
"Indeed, no matter how nicely you put it, it can't change the gap caused by neglecting training! Ash, you won."
Sakura recalled the Poke Ball and spoke to Ash. This was an unchangeable gap. Even if they started to take it seriously, they hadn't cultivated and trained Pokémon at all normally.
Even if they fought seriously, there was nothing they could do. They had already expected to lose, so there was nothing unacceptable about it.
The two walked off the floating platform. Seeing her two sisters disheartened, Sakura also smiled and said,
"Alright, don't look so sad. You can only blame our usual lack of training. There's nothing we can do. Don't put on such a display in front of the challenger."
Sakura comforted her two sisters, then walked towards Ash. At this moment, Ash also happened to be at the shore with Pikachu and Axew.
"You performed very well!" Ash squatted down and gently patted Axew's head. This was their first time cooperating, and they performed so well. Ash was very happy.
Pikachu and Axew were also very happy. The two little guys seemed to be competing with each other. Axew looked proud, as if it was showing off to Pikachu. Soon, the two little guys started playing together.
"Ash! You won this match! This blue badge is yours! Although it's been given many times, this time, we are truly giving it to you from the bottom of our hearts as Gym Leaders!"
Sakura came to Ash with her two sisters. Misty and Brock also came down and stood beside Ash. Seeing this scene, Misty finally relaxed.
"Thank you!" This time, Ash accepted the badge without any pressure.
"You're welcome, this is what you deserve, Misty. You've found very good companions!" Sakura smiled in response, then looked at Misty and smiled.
Fortunately, her troublesome little sister had met a boy like Ash. From now on, she could rest easy.
Misty, upon hearing this, lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed. Sakura, seeing this, chuckled and didn't say anything more. Instead, she asked Misty what she planned to do next.
"Misty, what are your plans?"
"Me??" Misty instinctively looked at Ash after hearing this. Noticing Ash's gaze, she quickly lowered her head and thought for a moment, then quickly spoke.
"My strength is still not enough. I want to continue training with Ash and the others." She didn't know if it was reluctance or something else, but she truly didn't want to stay in Cerulean City for now.
"I see! Then Ash, our little Misty is in your care. She's always so clumsy." Sakura also looked at Ash, and deliberately winked at Misty with a knowing look. Lily and Daisy behind them also chuckled.
"Me... clumsy? I also helped out, didn't I? Sister Sakura, why are you saying that!" Misty said, her face flushing with embarrassment.
...
Everyone chatted for a few moments, then Ash and Brock decided to return to the Center first. Misty would stay at the gym and prepare to leave tomorrow.
Ash and Brock returned to the Center, put away their luggage, and then prepared to return to the gym to find Misty.
There was still some time, so Misty decided to take the two to stroll around Cerulean City. It wasn't convenient to carry their belongings.
It was rare for Misty to come back, so she let out all her Pokémon and let them swim freely in the pool.
Many Water-type Pokémon were restricted by terrain. If there were no rivers outside, they couldn't be outside. It was rare to come back, so Misty let out all her Pokémon. Not just Misty.
Even Ash left Magikarp here so it could play freely in the water for a while. Misty watched them from the shore, a smile on her face.
Bang!!! Boom boom!!
Just then, suddenly, a loud bang echoed. Kasumi's expression immediately changed. A cloud of smoke drifted in. She saw the wall in front of the pool, and smoke continuously spread.
At the same time, Sakura and the others heard the commotion and quickly rushed over. They saw a large hole smashed into the wall, and a strange machine crashed into the gym.
"What's going on?" Sakura and the others asked in surprise, looking at the scene.
"Hmph! Since you're asking so sincerely!"
"I'll mercifully tell you."
Above the machine, two figures appeared in the smoke, their appearances unclear, but Kasumi's face showed a look of helplessness as soon as she heard their voices.
As the smoke gradually dispersed, the two figures also appeared.
"We are Team Rocket, traveling through the galaxies. White Hole, a white tomorrow, awaits us!"
"That's right, meow!"
"It's really you guys!" Kasumi said, stepping beside her three sisters.
"Kasumi, you know them?" Sakura asked, turning her head.
"Yes! These guys are Team Rocket. They're bad guys who specialize in stealing other people's Pokémon." Kasumi quickly replied.
"What??" Hearing Kasumi's words, her three sisters also grew wary.
"Saying 'steal' is a bit harsh, isn't it? Our Team Rocket's goal is to conquer the world." Hearing this, James said narcissistically.
"You're right, meow! I saw it." Meowth said, pulling down a switch on the machine.
Bang!!!
The machine's front opened, and a large pipe swung out from the device. It then directly plunged into the water. The entire machine began to vibrate. The water flow in the pool also began to change.
Boom boom!!!!
A large amount of water in the pool was sucked away by a suction force. The water immediately formed a swirling vortex. The Pokémon in the water were uncontrollably dragged away.
