"Psybeam."
Gary didn't want to waste time, so Alakazam used Psybeam again, instantly defeating Weepinbell.
Alakazam LV23-24!
After defeating Weepinbell, Alakazam's level was raised by 1 level.
"This Gary is too good."
"Yeah, I can't believe that he defeated Ms. Erika's 2 Pokémon with just 1 Pokémon."
"It doesn't matter, Ms. Erika still has 1 Pokémon to use, she will definitely be able to turn the tables."
The female apprentices in the gym were worried when they saw Erika was at a disadvantage, and some of them were still stubborn, thinking that Erika might be able to turn the tables.
Sabrina watched coldly from the side, knowing very well that Alakazam was not the strongest Pokémon in Gary's hand, and this Erika could not make Gary use his full strength to deal with it.
Although the two Pokémon were defeated, Erika was very confident that her trump card Pokémon could not be defeated by a normal Pokémon.
"Gary, I admit that you are strong, but my love for Pokémon will not lose to you."
"Go, Gloom."
Erika threw her last Poké Ball.
Great!
The Poké Ball opened, and a ball of white light shot out from it and landed on the field.
"Gloom!"
A blue plant-like Absorb Bulb Pokémon appeared. It was Erika's trump card Pokémon, Gloom.
```
[LV33 Gloom♀/Gym]
```
Seeing Gloom, Gary frowned.
It's not that Erika's Gloom is strong, but because the Gloom in front of him is also very weak.
The reason why this Gloom can become Erika's trump card is entirely because this Gloom has the Stench Ability. The stench it emits is quite terrible. Normal Pokémon can't stand it at all and faint directly from the stench.
Erika can serve as the gym leader for so long because of Gloom's stench, and her own strength is quite mediocre.
Gary even thought that Erika didn't let Gloom evolve because Gloom would lose the ability to smell bad after evolving.
"Gloom, let your stink go," Erika ordered.
"Gloom!"
Gloom's flower bud head sprayed out a curry-colored airflow, which drifted towards Alakazam.
"Hu...!"
Alakazam's Confusion couldn't block the stink either. After taking a few breaths, it was instantly knocked unconscious by the stink.
"Is this stink so terrible?" Gary was speechless as he looked at Alakazam, who was knocked unconscious by the stink.
"My Gloom, the stink is terrible. If your Pokémon can't resist the stink, you can't defeat me, hehe..." Erika laughed triumphantly.
Seeing Erika who was proud of this, Gary was speechless.
This tricky way of fighting is really meaningless. In high-end competitions, it can't even make it to the stage. The official competition venue is very large. Even if your Gloom smells bad, it will disappear as soon as it is released.
"Ms. Erika, fighting like this won't help Pokémon improve their strength," Gary said.
Erika was stunned. She didn't expect Gary to say that to her. But she always did this. She wouldn't easily admit her problem. She said stubbornly, "This is also a kind of strength. If you have the ability, come and defeat me."
Gary didn't say much. He took back Alakazam and threw a Poké Ball.
Great!
```
[LV31 Scizor♂/Quasi-Elite]
```
"Scizor!"
Gary sent out Scizor.
"What! It's a Steel-type Pokémon." Erika was shocked. Although Erika was weak, she still knew about Pokémon. She knew that there was a special thing about Steel-type Pokémon, that is, they had no sense of smell. The smell was ineffective against Scizor.
"Fury Cutter combo!"
Gary had no intention of showing any mercy.
Whoosh!
A red light penetrated the field and arrived in front of Gloom in a breath.
Gloom was very timid and immediately released a foul smell, but the foul smell had no effect on Scizor. The insect energy lingered on its pincers and formed a sickle shape. As Scizor waved its pincers, the energy sickle kept hitting Gloom.
"Gloom!"
Accompanied by Gloom's wailing, Scizor finished a set of combos. Gloom was knocked several meters away and fell to the ground, losing consciousness, and its eyes were spinning in circles.
"Gloom...!" Erika immediately ran to Gloom.
Gloom is Erika's favorite Pokémon. Ash gave the Badge to Ash because he saved Gloom.
"Gloom has lost its ability to fight. Scizor wins. The winner is... Challenger Gary," the female apprentice in the referee area also made the final judgment.
The battle ended.
After Erika confirmed that Gloom was fine, she walked to Gary and took out the gym badge.
"Gary, the Rainbow Badge is yours. I will consider your previous suggestion carefully," Erika said.
"Thank you."
Gary didn't say much, thanked her, and took the badge in his hand.
[Ding! Mission completed, reward has been distributed to the space backpack.]
"It's a pity that the Pokémon that can master the Sunny Day technique are all with Grandpa," Gary thought to himself.
None of the Pokémon on Gary can master the Sunny Day technique. Only Exeggutor and Butterfree with Professor Oak can master it.
Growlithe can only learn the Sunny Day technique after it evolves into Arcanine. The rest of the Pokémon cannot master this move.
After leaving the Celadon Gym, Sabrina asked, "Gary, are we going to Fuchsia City next?"
"No hurry, let's go to the game hall here to play. I heard that in the game hall, you can exchange game coins for rare Pokémon," Gary said.
"Game Hall..." Sabrina had heard of the game hall but had never been there.
"Yes, there are some fun games in there. I'll try them out. If I can win a lot of game coins, I can exchange them for Pokémon in the arcade."
Gary took Sabrina's hand and rushed to the Pokémon Center.
After handing Alakazam to Nurse Joy, the two went to the arcade. On the way, they found a restaurant to have lunch. After they were full, they came to the arcade.
---
"Welcome, both of you!"
The receptionist at the door bowed respectfully to Gary and Sabrina.
One of the women stepped forward and said, "Hello, two guests, my name is Lily. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."
Gary looked at Lily. This receptionist girl was really pretty. It was worthy of being an industry opened by Team Rocket. It was estimated that the salary of the receptionists here was very high, otherwise, they would not be able to recruit such a pretty girl.
"It's my first time here. How do I exchange game coins?" Gary asked.
"Please follow me."
Lily brought Gary and Sabrina to the square counter and asked, "Guest, the exchange rate for cash and game coins here is 100 Poké Dollars for one game coin. How much do you need?"
Gary was shocked. He didn't expect the game coins in this game hall to be so expensive. The ratio of 1 to 100 is a bit high.
