The Aize Gym Lady looked at Ash Ketchum and his friends with some exasperation. She really wanted to say that Ash's disguise was terrible. Before she could continue speaking, Ash had already drawn a kitchen knife while Meowth took out a pot.
"I'll demonstrate right here!"
After placing Psyduck aside, Ash took ingredients from his bag and began preparing them, leaving the Aize Gym Lady stunned.
"Meowth, get ready to stir-fry! Pikachu, prepare the seasonings! I'm starting to cut the vegetables now!"
Without regard for their surroundings, Ash and his team began cooking. The Aize Gym Lady could only glance helplessly at Ash before turning to Misty and the others.
"Well, I wonder if you could tell me…"
"Just a moment! My Pokémon are hungry too; look, they're drooling!"
Misty pointed at Squirtle, who was salivating at the sight of Ash cooking, refusing the Aize Gym Lady's inquiry. Lyn, stroking her Ponyta, added, "Sorry, but we, the Grassland kids, prefer not to disclose our names."
Seeing Misty and Lyn act this way, the Aize Gym Lady turned to Suzy. She thought that Suzy's Tyranitar was the main attraction when suddenly the sound of Ash sizzling food and the enticing aroma filled the air.
Squirtle gulped and approached Ash to watch closely, practically asking when dinner would be served.
Suzy laughed and said, "Sorry, as you've seen, my Tyranitar is hungry too, so apologies!"
Suzy then walked to Tyranitar's side, while Ash was talking to Tyranitar about its order.
"I'll get you some stones later and let Chansey crush them to mix in with the dish; it'll definitely be crunchy!"
"Roar!!!"
As soon as Tyranitar heard that, it nodded vigorously. Its favorite was the stones that Ash prepared. Not only did they taste good, but they were also crunchy. More importantly, it felt like Ash's dishes increased its vitality.
Watching Ash and Tyranitar get along so well, Suzy smiled and thought about learning Ash's cooking skills—she couldn't always rely on him to cook.
The Aize Gym Lady could only gaze helplessly at Brock, who was oblivious to everything happening around him.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Brock! From Pewter City! I specialize in Rock-type Pokémon! My dream is to become a Pokémon Breeder, and I'm still single!"
Upon hearing Brock's introduction, the Aize Gym Lady's eyes lit up. The Kaze Gym Leader's strongest Pokémon was Electabuzz, while Brock's Pokémon was Rock-type, clearly a great asset!
In an instant, her gaze towards Brock became warm. This was a genuine helper!
"Mr. Brock, could I ask you to visit our Aize Gym?"
Flattered by the lady's words, Brock was instantly charmed and nodded, "Of course, no problem! I can even help you defeat the Kaze Gym!"
"That's fantastic! Please follow me!"
Seeing Brock led away by such charm, Misty shook her head in exasperation. "Ash, aren't we going to care about Brock?"
"No problem! Brock's strength is still sufficient. He won't have any issues with the Kaze Gym folks..."
"That's not what I meant! I'm talking about just letting Brock join in the brawl with those thugs!"
Misty knew that Brock could handle himself against thugs, but she was worried he would be used as a pawn. Although Brock was a bit of a flirt, he was still her travel companion. If the Gym Leaders were found fighting, it could lead to serious consequences, including the potential revocation of their Gym Leader licenses.
"You're too kind, Misty. Don't worry, I'll stop them. Besides, it's been a while since I caused any trouble, and my hands have been itching!"
"Huh?"
Seeing the mischievous smile on Ash's face, Misty knew that Brock was likely going to be in for a rough time.
Ash exchanged glances with Meowth and Pikachu.
"Meow, it's about time that little pervert learns his lesson..."
"Pika! That would probably save us a lot of trouble!"
"I hope Brock remembers this lesson well; otherwise, I'll have to resort to even more ruthless measures to teach him self-control..."
"Hehehe... Pika!"
As the three exchanged dark smiles, Misty reaffirmed that Brock was definitely going to have an unforgettable lesson...
