"That should be right. His Charizard is a bit arrogant. If Miss Liza meets them later, it's better to give that Charizard a blow," Gary said with a smirk.
According to the original plot, Ash's Charizard was asking for trouble.
It was not until he saw his kind in Charizard Valley that he realized how weak he was.
In fact, Ash's Charizard is not weak, but the Charizards in Charizard Valley are all the strongest wild Charizards in the world. It is normal that Ash's Charizard cannot beat them.
"Isn't Ash from the same hometown as you? Is this okay?" Liza said with some embarrassment.
"Of course it's okay. He is too weak now and needs to be tempered. Charizard can't grow much with Ash. Charizard Valley is more suitable. Moreover, Ash's Charizard has great potential, not inferior to the Charizard I captured today," Gary said.
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Liza heard Gary's high evaluation of Ash's Charizard and was very curious about what kind of Charizard it was.
The two ended their conversation about Ash and talked about interesting things in the Johto Region.
One night later, with Liza's farewell, Gary left Azalea Town on a mountain bike.
During lunch break, Gary released Charizard and taught him eight skills, which directly maxed out his intimacy.
Charizard was shocked. Mastering eight new skills at once was too amazing. Charizard was sure that he had followed the right Trainer. My Trainer is definitely a master.
Three days later, Gary arrived in Azalea Town.
Mr. Kurt, a famous Poké Ball maker, lives here, and the shops in the town also sell Poké Balls specially made by Mr. Kurt.
Normal Pokémon department stores only sell Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. Better department stores will have more Poké Balls such as Heavy Balls, Net Balls, and Dive Balls.
Azalea Town sells the Fast Ball, Moon Ball, and Lure Ball, all of which are specially made by Mr. Kurt.
Fast Balls are used to capture fast Pokémon.
Lure Balls are used to capture Water-type Pokémon, and the capture rate is very high.
Moon Balls are used to capture Pokémon that evolve with Moonstone, and the capture rate is very high.
Since we are in Azalea Town, we naturally have to buy some special Poké Balls, and Gary is no exception. Anyway, it's okay to prepare more Poké Balls; just be prepared.
Because these habits developed from playing the Pokémon series games, basically every player has this habit: before catching Legendary Pokémon, Poké Balls must be prepared.
Gary did not visit Mr. Kurt either; after all, the GS Ball is with Ash, and there is nothing to say if he comes to visit, so he should not disturb him.
After a day of rest in Azalea Town, Gary came to the Azalea Gym early in the morning.

"Lunge, not bad," Gary murmured.
The skill Lunge has a power of 80 and also comes with an additional effect: a 100% chance to reduce the target's physical attack by one level.
This skill is very suitable for Scizor to learn. It can not only trigger its Ability but also reduce the rival's physical attack ability. It is simply a skill tailor-made for Scizor.
Gary looked at the Azalea Gym in front of him. It was called a gym, but it was more like a botanical garden. You could vaguely see a lot of Bug-type Pokémon hiding in the treetops and bushes.
The gym owner of Azalea Gym is named Bugsy, a gym trainer who is proficient in Bug-type Pokémon. He is also the youngest gym owner in the Johto Region and is only one year older than Gary.
Gary approached the gate and was looking for the doorbell, but the gate opened automatically.
Seeing that there was no doorbell, Gary walked in directly. The gym was full of trees, like a small forest.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
"Is anyone there?!"
...
Gary shouted as he walked, and soon someone responded.
"Who are you?"
A voice came, and Gary looked up and saw a boy standing on the top of a big tree. The boy was Bugsy, the owner of the Azalea Gym.
"Hello, my name is Gary, from Pallet Town, and I'm here to challenge your gym," Gary replied.
"So you're the challenger; wait for me," Bugsy said, climbing down the ladder on the side and taking Gary to the gym.
"The battlefield is inside; follow me."
The two came to the battlefield in the gym. The field was an ordinary field, but it was surrounded by large trees of Verdanturf, and many tree branches grew into the field. Such a field is very suitable for some Electric-type Pokémon to fight here.
Although Bugsy is young, he is still very responsible as a gym owner. After calling the referee over, the game officially began.
The referee was a middle-aged man, standing in the command area, and announced: "Then let's start the official gym match between the gym trainer Bugsy of Azalea Gym and the challenger Gary of Pallet Town, with badges as the stakes."
"The Pokémon used are limited to three each, and only the challenger can replace Pokémon, but not the gym trainer. So, are you two ready?"
"You can start at any time," Gary said.
"I have no problem... But, Gary, have you heard that people who can conquer Bug-type Pokémon are equivalent to conquering the world? Have you heard of it?" Bugsy said.
"Who said that?"
Gary looked suspicious. He knew that Bugsy loved Bug-type Pokémon, but this love was a bit too extreme.
And Bug-type Pokémon, so far, not even a Legendary Pokémon has appeared.
Buzzwole and Pheromosa are Ultra Beasts. Strictly speaking, they are not Pokémon from this world, but Pokémon from a parallel world.
Although Genesect is publicly said to be a mythical Pokémon, it is a Pokémon transformed by humans. If it is not transformed, it cannot be considered a Legendary Pokémon.
So strictly speaking, among Bug-type Pokémon, the only Bug-type Legendary Pokémon so far is the Slither Wing(Paradox Pokémon).
"I said it," Bugsy said.
Gary: "Em...!"
I didn't expect that Bugsy likes to tell jokes.
Bugsy didn't care that his words silenced Gary and immediately took out a Poké Ball and said, "Silent warrior, go ahead, Spinarak!"
Great!
A light green Spinarak appeared. Although Spinarak is a spider, it still looks pretty cute.

It can be confirmed that Bugsy mistook Gary for a rookie trainer.
"Could it be that this Bugsy didn't join the gym's chat group and didn't know anything about himself?" Gary thought to himself.
