Just as Wang Zi was preparing to challenge Brock, a trainer wearing a green hat had an exclamation mark appear above his head, and he quickly walked up and intercepted him.

"Stand right there, kid!" the green hat said proudly, "You're still 10000 light-years away from challenging Gym Leader Brock!"

Entering battle!

The battle with Camper Matt began!

Matt wore a round green hat, a green shirt and shorts, and a red scarf fluttering on his chest. He put one hand on his hip and pointed forward with a Poké Ball in the other, striking a spirited 'Wild Horse Mane Splitting' pose, showing off his white teeth with a smug smile.

Camper Matt sent out Geodude!

Geodude floated in mid-air, looking like a rock with a face. With raised rocky eyebrows and a bitter, resentful expression, it had two muscular stone arms extending from the sides of its head, and its clenched fists looked only half the size of its head, giving off a powerful feeling.

Wang Zi was attracted by Geodude's appearance and was a little stunned: "So not only can biological and plant-type Pokémon exist, but even stones can be Pokémon? It looks a bit mighty, maybe I can catch one later?"

He also inexplicably thought of the stones on the ground of the gym, and a bold guess popped up: "Could it be that the stones on the ground are all Geodudes?"

He felt that the seemingly unremarkable gym suddenly had a somewhat profound feeling.

"Charmander, I choose you!"

Charmander appeared with a raging flame burning on its tail.

"Charmander, use Ember!"

A ball of flame flew from Charmander to Geodude.

Charmander used Ember!

However, Geodude's HP only dropped slightly, seemingly without any effect. (っ◔◡◔)っ

Not very effective!

Wang Zi was shocked: "So Fire-type skills are countered by Rock-type? Miscalculation!"

Fortunately, the opposing Geodude's punch didn't hurt much either.

After all, Charmander was level 14, 4 levels higher than the opponent's Geodude, so there was still a certain advantage in attributes.

Wang Zi changed his strategy: "Then let's try the newly learned skill, Charmander, use Metal Claw!"

Charmander's entire body suddenly turned into a steel-like solid gray, flashing with a silver light, accompanied by a 'ding-ding' sound like forging iron, as if strengthened by the power of steel.

Then, Charmander quickly arched forward twice, and two huge claw marks immediately appeared on the bitter and resentful Geodude, like sharp, fiery beast claws tearing through window paper, creating deep black holes, with the surrounding space curling outwards.

The power of this attack was astonishing, and Geodude's HP immediately dropped by nearly half.

Charmander used Metal Claw, it's super effective!

"Steel, counters Rock?"

Wang Zi guessed inwardly.

Attribute matchups are crucial for Pokémon battles. To win future battles more easily, he was also silently memorizing them.

After discovering Geodude's weakness, Wang Zi easily defeated it.

Camper Matt then sent out a Sandshrew-like Pokémon, which he also easily dealt with.

Charmander gained 219 experience points!

Charmander's level increased to 15!

Matt retreated, recognizing reality: "Uh! A light-year is not a unit of time, but a unit of distance!"

Without the obstruction of his underling, he was finally able to challenge Brock.

"Ah, you've come. I'm Brock, the Gym Leader of Pewter City," Brock said on the stone platform, looking down. "I, and my Pokémon, have willpower as firm as rock, bodies as firm as rock, and a determination as firm as rock."

"That's right! My Pokémon are Rock-type," Brock looked proud of his Pokémon, full of confidence. "Knowing you're going to lose, you still come to challenge me. Is it the trainer's sense of honor that makes you do this? Alright, show me your best abilities!"

Wang Zi was quite displeased with his arrogance: "Heh, it seems you don't think much of my Charmander?"

The battle with Gym Leader Brock began!

This time, the opening BGM had the same melody as usual battles, but the arrangement was completely different. Waves of urgent alarm reverbs at the beginning switched rapidly between the left and right channels, the cymbal's timbre was high-pitched and explosive, and the passionate and rapid drum beats quickly boosted morale.

Brock, with brown hair and squinted eyes, stood with his hands on his hips and his feet shoulder-width apart, exuding confidence. He wore a pair of military green trousers, and his skin was a bit dark, as if he was a trainer who regularly engaged in outdoor exercise.

The Poké Ball popped open, and in the smoke, a level 12 Geodude showed off its sturdy stone muscles and appeared with a hiss.

Gym Leader Brock sent out Geodude!

Charmander, I choose you!

With a dull beast roar, a level 15 Charmander also appeared on the field.

The exciting high-pitched sound continued to rise, giving no one a chance to breathe, seeming to foreshadow the intensity of the battle.

Clang clang!

Two claw marks crossed and scratched Geodude, causing its HP to drop by half.

Charmander used Metal Claw, it's super effective!

The opponent's Geodude used Defense Curl!

Geodude's body suddenly stretched a few times, and a green light of enhancement flashed.

The opponent's Geodude's defense increased!

However, Charmander's damage was still very high, clawing off one-third of its HP bar in one hit.

After defeating Geodude, in the fierce and tense drum beats, like thousands of horses galloping, a level 14 Onix appeared.

This Pokémon's body was composed of multiple huge rocks, with the stones becoming smaller and smaller from the middle to the tail, resembling a large snake. Its head had a rocky horn, and its face was like a stone puppet, looking very intimidating.

Charmander used Metal Claw!

Critical hit! It's super effective!

Onix's HP bar immediately poured out two-thirds, turning into an unhealthy light yellow.

"Good!" Wang Zi said excitedly.

The opponent's Onix used Rock Tomb!

Yellow earthen stones fell from the sky, surrounding Charmander, turning into a red cross, and suddenly exploded!

It's super effective!

Charmander's HP suddenly dropped to only 4 points, and a dangerous 'ding-dong' alarm sounded.

Charmander's speed decreased!

Wang Zi hurriedly gave Charmander a potion, and after its HP recovered to a healthy level, he issued an attack command.

Charmander used Metal Claw! It's super effective!

The opponent's Onix was defeated!

Wang Zi breathed a sigh of relief as Onix's huge body fell.

Onix's Rock Tomb was very effective against Charmander, and he almost lost just now!

Charmander gained 324 experience points!

Charmander leveled up to level 16!

Brock with squinted eyes reappeared, seemingly acknowledging the protagonist's strength: "I lost, you won without any suspense. As proof of passing the Pewter City Gym challenge, please accept this... the Pokémon League Badge!"

A happy, leisurely sound effect rang out, like eating a delicious ice cream on a hot summer day.

"Big Brother obtained the Gray Badge from Brock!

With the Gray Badge, Pokémon can become even stronger."

After the victory, Wang Zi was in a happy mood: "The experience and prize money given by the Gym Leader are quite a lot! Although I almost overturned in the middle, it was a thrilling victory!"

Just then, the screen did not return to the map as he expected, but instead, Charmander's figure appeared in the center of a blank screen.

The narration in the bottom dialog box said: "Oh? Charmander's condition!"

Wang Zi was stunned.

What's going on?
