Chương 308: That mutated monster possesses potential comparable to a legend.

Chapter 308 That Ditto possesses potential comparable to a legend.

After failing to challenge the Alhambra City Gym, Ash trained for a few more days before returning to challenge them again.

To Ash's dismay, Violet did not use Ditto in this gym challenge, but instead sent out the Bug-type Pokémon that the Sandalwood Gym usually uses for challenges.

"Why won't Miss Violet let Ditto play?"

When Violet sent out the Pokémon Glutenball, Serena in the audience also looked puzzled.

These past few days, she's watched Ash undergo various special training sessions in order to defeat Heracross.

However, when they arrived at the gym, Violet changed the Pokémon she used.

"The White Sandalwood Gym is originally a Bug-type Gym. Last time, Ditto was used because of special circumstances."

The 2v2 rules of the White Sandalwood Gym were originally designed to favor novice trainers.

If that Ditto keeps appearing in the field, then the Alhambra Gym will probably become the most difficult gym to conquer in the Kalos region.

Even the challenge level is comparable to the Battle Pyramid in the Hoenn region.

"A battle against the pyramids?" Serena's questioning expression gave Certron another chance to show off.

"Although the Battle Pyramid is located in the Hoenn region, it is also quite famous in other regions."

Especially the Pharaoh of the Pyramids, whose Pokémon he used were the legendary eternal Pokémon: Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.

Serena had never heard of the so-called Battle Pyramid, but even as a newbie, she knew how powerful legendary Pokémon were.

Now that the Clemont Ebony Gym is compared to the Battle Pyramid, doesn't that mean that Ms. Shelly's Ditto has power comparable to a legendary Pokémon?

"I previously analyzed the data of that Ditto and used a computer to calculate its combat ability through various values. The final data was quite astonishing."

Some powerful Mega Evolved Pokémon already possess strength comparable to Legendary Pokémon, but when that Ditto battled Ash, it hadn't even shown its true power yet.

Ditto's advantage lies in its ability to transform, but in that battle, due to the rules, it remained in Heracross's form.

Imagine if it could freely transform into various types during battle, and the types it switched to were all powerful Pokémon—what would that be like?

Seeing Serena and Bonnie lost in their reverie, Clemont coughed lightly and spoke again, "Perhaps it's because using Ditto to fight is too unfair to the challenger that Ms. Violet used a different Pokémon this time."

"Little blondie, what you said is only part of the reason. Another reason is that Ditto is my Pokémon, and I'm planning to take Ditto to the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament and debut as a Pokémon performer."

The people who intervened in Serena and the others' conversation were Pansy and Sherris, who was holding them and talking about Ditto.

"My name is Citron, not blondie—"

"Miss Sheryl, are you also planning to participate in the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament?"

Upon hearing that Sheryl was also planning to bring Ditto to the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament, Serena excitedly pushed Clemont aside.

Serena didn't have a clear goal before, but after seeing the dazzling Aier on TV, she finally decided to strive to become a Pokémon performer.

"Is Serena also aiming to become a Pokémon performer? If that's the case, we might become rivals."

After finding common ground, Sherris and Serena clearly got along much better, leaving Citron, who was standing to the side, with no chance to even interject.

Ash's second battle at the Bourbon Gym ended in a narrow victory, and he won the Bourbon Gym Badge from Violet.

"So Serena also plans to become a performer and participate in the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament?"

So, if you happen to have a silly little sister like me, I hope you can give her some pointers.

As Violet and Ash walked over after the gym battle, they overheard Shelly and Serena talking. Violet, being the older sister, couldn't resist teasing her younger sister.

"No, no, no, I'm just a newbie. Miss Sherris is definitely more capable than me."

If it's a three-crown satellite tournament, then Miss Shirley's formidable opponent should be someone as strong as Miss Ai, right?

Serena and the others, who knew nothing about Sherris, still thought she was a very capable person.

After all, the other party's two older sisters, Ms. Pansy, is a well-known Pokémon reporter, and Ms. Violet is a Gym Leader, so as their younger sister, she naturally wouldn't be weak either.

Moreover, Miss Shellis's Ditto defeated Ash and received high praise from Clemont.

In Serena's eyes, someone who can raise such an excellent Pokémon must be at least on par with Miss Ayr, right?

"Serena, you're overthinking it. Sheryl is just like you, a complete newbie right now."

However, her ambitions are quite grand. The person she admires is not the current Carlos Queen, Aier, nor the former Carlos Queen, Miss Hachishio, but rather the League Champion, Miss Karuni.

In the past, Pansy and Violet, while respecting their younger sister's choice and even allowing Karuni to take her as an example, genuinely didn't have high hopes for her.

However, after witnessing Ditto's potential and talent, Violet and the others have changed their minds somewhat.

After learning that Sheryl was also planning to participate in the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament, Serena warmly invited Sheryl to travel with them.

At first, Shirley was actually quite tempted, since this would allow her to escape the clutches of her two older sisters.

However, considering that Serena and her friends were still a group of children, it seemed a bit strange for her to travel with them, so Sheryl ultimately declined Serena and her friends' offer.

Moreover, in the eyes of Serena and the other children, he still seems to be a "master". If he were to travel, wouldn't that ruin his previous great image?

"Pretending to be an expert is useless, after all, you and Serena will meet in the preliminary rounds of the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament sooner or later."

"Then you won't be able to keep your identity as a powerful senior anymore—"

"Sister Pansy is right. It would be quite interesting if Sheryl lost to Serena."

Now that you mention it, I'm actually looking forward to seeing the expression on Sherris's face then.

After watching Ash and his friends leave, Sheryl rolled her eyes when she heard what her two mean older sisters said.

However, this encounter with Ash and his friends has indeed taught Sheryl a lot from them, so from today onwards, she has decided to start working hard!
