After three days of rest in Greenfield Town, Gary and Ash are going to start their journey again.
"Gary, work hard and try to win the Alliance Conference Champion again."
Professor Oak is also going to return to Pallet Town today to encourage his grandson.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I will win."
Gary said.
"No, I will win this time."
Ash retorted.
"Haha, I hope you don't lose to me again like at the Indigo Plateau Conference."
Gary laughed and rode away on his mountain bike.
"No, I will definitely beat you this time."
Ash waved and shouted.
However, Gary just waved his hand with his back to Ash and didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he didn't take Ash's words seriously.
"Damn it, Gary, wait for me."
Ash decided to prove himself at the Silver Conference this time.
"You are still as energetic as ever."
Seeing Gary and Ash bickering before leaving, Delia felt very relieved.
"Gary and Ash have grown since they became Trainers."
Delia sighed.
Although the two still love to quarrel as always, they have grown a lot and are even capable of handling such a crisis.
...!
In a week, Gary rode to Olivine City.
Gary currently carries Pokémon: Articuno (Shiny), Gengar, Weavile, Heracross, Charizard, Onix (Crystal).
Gary still misses this place because he learned karate in Cianwood City before and stayed in Cianwood City for two and a half years.
During this period, he would naturally take a boat to visit Olivine City.
After not coming back for three years, Olivine City has changed a lot, with many more buildings.
"Let's go to the Olivine Canteen."
Gary missed the taste of the Olivine Canteen very much.
After putting his luggage in the Pokémon Center, he went directly to the Olivine Canteen for dinner.
The Olivine Canteen is very famous in Olivine City.
It has been there since the city was first established, carrying the memories of many people in Olivine City.
Entering the cafeteria, almost all seats were occupied.
If it wasn't for the time approaching 1 o'clock, there would be even more people.
"Sister Jasmine!"
Gary soon saw a conspicuous figure, that is Jasmine from the Olivine Gym.
Because he lived in Olivine City for two and a half years, Gary naturally knew Jasmine.
At that time, Jasmine was not the gym leader of the Olivine Gym.
She became the gym leader after Gary stayed in Olivine City for two years and Jasmine inherited the gym from her grandfather.
Jasmine was eating at Stuff Cheeks at the moment.
There was a small mountain of food scraps next to her.
Although Jasmine was thin and weak, she was actually a big eater.
Her appetite was bigger than Chuck's.
In the past, Jasmine went to Cianwood City frequently to eat Chuck's hot pot.
She would eat a whole pot at a time.
"Sister Jasmine." Gary walked over to say hello.
"No, this is..." Jasmine, who was enjoying the food, was shocked and wanted to explain that the food residue was left by the previous diner, but when she saw Gary's appearance, she was stunned.
"You are...
Gary!"
Jasmine immediately thought of Gary who had actually come to Olivine City to visit.
It was just that she hadn't seen him for a few years.
Gary had grown a lot taller and was almost as tall as her.
If it weren't for the fact that his hairstyle hadn't changed much, she really wouldn't have recognized him.
"Yes, Sister Jasmine, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your appetite is still as big as before," Gary said.
"You little brat, you're making fun of me again." Seeing an acquaintance, Jasmine was not so shy and immediately retorted.
"Boss, give me some eel rice." Gary greeted the boss.
"Oh, isn't this Gary?" The boss of the Olivine Canteen also recognized Gary.
"Yes, I came here on a trip and missed your cooking skills, so I came here to try it," Gary said.
"Ready, I'll make you a deluxe eel rice set today," said the boss.
"Thank you, boss." Gary accepted it happily.
The boss was very generous and made a deluxe eel rice for Gary, three grilled eels, and this side dish, which was very rich. Even Jasmine, who was next to him, was hungry.
Gary knew Jasmine's appetite very well and took the eel rice away from Jasmine.
Jasmine felt resentful.
Although she was greedy, she was now a gym owner and had to consider her status, so she asked, "Gary, you just said traveling, are you here to play in the Johto Region?"
"I'm here to challenge the Silver Conference, and I'm here to challenge the gym," Gary said.
"It seems that you want to challenge me..." Jasmine thought about the gym battle later, and she must teach Gary a lesson.
Seeing Jasmine's confident attitude, Gary knew that Jasmine must not have investigated his information otherwise, she would not be so confident.
Gary knows Jasmine's strength very well.
He can only say that she is good enough to deal with Trainer rookies, but it is a bit difficult to deal with Trainers with one or two years of experience.
Although Jasmine's grandfather left his Pokémon to Jasmine, with Jasmine's strong character, she disdains to use her grandfather's Pokémon to deal with gym battles.
"Yes, let me tell you in advance that I am very strong, so you have to be careful," Gary said.
"Okay, then you come to challenge the gym in the afternoon I'll wait for you." Jasmine really wants to see how strong Gary is.
"Okay, after lunch, I'll go in the afternoon."
Gary originally planned to challenge the gym tomorrow, but since Jasmine is so anxious, he can only go ahead of time.
"Then I'll wait for you to come." Jasmine finished the rest of the meal and left the Olivine Canteen.
After Gary finished eating the eel rice and rested for a while, he went to the Pokémon Center to get his Pokémon back, and then slowly came to the Olivine Gym.
Arriving at the entrance of the Olivine Gym, Gary saw a little girl in a yellow dress, sweeping the floor with a broom.
"Are you here to challenge the gym?" The girl asked immediately when she saw Gary.
"Yes."
Gary nodded and looked at the girl.
Gary knew that the girl in front of him was Jasmine's apprentice.
When Ash came to challenge the gym, she pretended to be Jasmine to fight Ash. She was quite brave.
She really wanted to fight with Gary, but Jasmine was in the gym, and it was not easy for her to pretend.
"The gym owner is in the gym come in with me," the girl said.
Gary looked at the girl who did not lie, and it must be Jasmine in the gym otherwise, this girl would definitely pretend to be Jasmine to fight the challenger.
The two entered the gym's battlefield, and the girl went to the room to call Jasmine out.
"Gary, you came really fast." Jasmine smiled brightly when she saw Gary.
The girl who was standing by was stunned. From Jasmine's attitude, it was obvious that she knew Gary.
Fortunately, she didn't pretend to be Jasmine otherwise, it would have been terrible.
