Pokemon: Reborn As Ash, I'll Conquer Every League

After capturing the red Gyarados, Ash's group handed over Celano and his followers to the arriving Officer Jenny, then followed the road to their destination, Mahogany Town.

After resting for the night, Ash began his challenge for the seventh Gym Challenge.

Looking at the closed Gym, Ash said with some disappointment, "Strange, it seems there is no Mahogany Town Gym!"

"Is it a holiday today?" Brock asked, puzzled.

"Are you here for a Gym Challenge? Pryce is not here right now."

At this moment, a voice sounded from nearby.

Ash and the others turned their heads to look and saw an older woman staring at them.

Ash asked, puzzled, "Eh? Is Pryce not here? Then, may I ask where I can find Pryce?"

"Pryce should be training under the waterfall at this time. By the way, my name is Sheila." The older woman explained.

"As expected of a Gym Leader, always training both body and mind!" Brock exclaimed.

"That's right. If you are in a hurry to find him, I can take you there."

After saying this, Sheila strode off, sprinting along the mountain path.

Watching Sheila run two or three thousand meters in the blink of an eye, Misty said in shock, "Uh... how can Auntie Sheila run so fast?"

"Her movements are so fast!" Brock was also deeply shocked.

"We'd better catch up quickly."

Ash took the lead and chased after her.

But Misty and Brock, who lacked exercise, really couldn't run fast and were soon panting.

About twenty minutes later, Ash and the others finally arrived in front of a waterfall.

Sheila exclaimed with great enjoyment, "It's been a long time since I've sweated this much!"

Brock sat down on the ground with a thud, "Whew, I can't go on!"

"Everyone worked very hard! There, Pryce is right there." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Sheila pointed to the white-haired old man sitting quietly under the waterfall.

Brock took a look and exclaimed, "Is that the Gym Leader of the Mahogany Town Gym, Pryce? How amazing!"

Sheila walked to the side of the waterfall and said to Pryce, "Pryce, this child wants to have a Gym Challenge with you!"

"Hello, you must be Mr. Pryce, the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town, right? I am Ash from Pallet Town. I would like to trouble you to have a Gym Challenge with me." Ash said.

Pryce opened his eyes and glanced at Ash. Seeing Pikachu and Eevee standing on Ash's shoulders, his brows furrowed.

He walked out of the waterfall and asked coldly, "Why don't you put that Pikachu and Eevee into their Poké Balls?"

"Because I have a very good relationship with them! Mr. Pryce, I also know about your situation. You are unwilling to believe that you can be friends with Pokémon because your former partner, Piloswine, left. But have you ever thought that your Piloswine wanted to go find herbs to treat your burns?"

Ash knew quite a bit about Pryce's situation.

Pryce was unmoved by Ash's words. In his view, Piloswine had left without a word and hadn't returned to this day, so he no longer believed in Pokémon.

"You really believe in the bond between a Trainer and their Pokémon? Don't talk about such empty things. If you want a Gym Challenge, that's fine, but first pass my test."

He took out a Poké Ball and released his current main Pokémon, Dewgong, saying, "If you can defeat Dewgong, I will agree to have a Gym Challenge with you."

"Just defeat this Dewgong? Alright, Pikachu, I'll leave it to you."

"Pika!"

Hearing that it could fight, Pikachu happily jumped in front of Dewgong.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt."

"Pika~chu!"

Pikachu unleashed a shocking current of electricity at Dewgong.

"Dewgong, use Psybeam."

Dewgong opened its mouth and spewed a light blue beam to meet the current.

The two moves collided, and after a few seconds of stalemate, Pikachu's lightning dispersed the Psybeam.

Zzzzt~

The lightning enveloped Dewgong, knocking it out instantly.

Dewgong was taken out in one hit, which left Pryce feeling very puzzled, "Hmm?"

"Mr. Pryce, it seems I have already passed your test." Ash said.

Pryce's expression darkened, and he said indifferently, "Alright, then follow me."

Ash shook his head, "No rush, Mr. Pryce. I would like to ask you to go to a place with me."

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Pryce, I know where your Piloswine is."

"What?"

Pryce looked astonished. After recovering, he said coldly, "Do you know what you are saying? Piloswine has been gone for over twenty years. What could a teenager like you know?"

Ash stared intently at Pryce and said, "I naturally know what I am saying. As for whether what I said is true or false, Mr. Pryce, you will know once you go there."

Seeing the determination in Ash's eyes, Pryce said with a gloomy expression, "I hope what you say is true, otherwise you should just head back home."

"If I really help you find Piloswine, I hope you will use your full strength in the Gym Challenge. If I can't find it, I will disappear from your sight forever."

If Ash remembered correctly, Piloswine was on the mountain they were currently on, it was just frozen in ice.

"Fine, lead the way!"

Walking up the mountain path, Ash soon found a deep canyon.

Standing on the edge of the canyon and searching carefully with his Aura, he turned to Pryce and said, "Mr. Pryce, your Piloswine is in a cave at the bottom of this canyon."

Pryce's expression tightened, and he retorted, "Nonsense! I have been to the bottom of this canyon many times, and there is no cave at all."

"You'll know once you go down."

Sheila looked at the situation and pointed in a direction, "If you want to go down, you can go that way."

Under Sheila's guidance, Ash and the others quickly found climbing ropes in a house near the canyon.

They didn't walk far after reaching the bottom of the canyon before Pryce saw an iron ring.

"This... this leg ring is... the thing my Piloswine was wearing."

"Mr. Pryce, your Piloswine is in the ice cave ahead." Ash said, pointing to the cold-air-emitting cave entrance not far away.

"Piloswine..."

Seeing the leg ring, Pryce gradually believed Ash's words, and he ran towards that cave entrance.

Soon, a frozen Piloswine appeared before everyone.

And frozen along with it was a medicinal herb.

Seeing the herb, Pryce completely understood. Piloswine hadn't abandoned him; it had gone to find herbs for him. He had misunderstood Piloswine.
