Chapter 28 Arrival in Golden City
After the temple fair ended, Xiao Zhi even found a secluded spot and took out the tattered fishing net given to him by the system to examine it carefully.
But after a very thorough inspection, from top to bottom and from left to right, Xiaozhi came to a conclusion.
This is just an ordinary fishing net!
"Damn it, capturing a legendary beast!"
After Xiao Zhi put the fishing net into his system space, he didn't bother with it anymore.
------------
On the fourth day after leaving Maiden's Gorge Port, Ash finally arrived in Saffron City.
The hardships and dangers along the way are beyond what outsiders can describe.
It's basically just getting lost repeatedly, and the hardships and obstacles are what Ash brings to the other wild Pokémon.
However, he arrived at his destination much earlier than he had anticipated.
"How did we get to Golden City already?"
Ash was lost in the forest the night before.
"Xiaoxia, how did we get to Golden City?"
Looking at the magnificent gate of the building in front of her, Xiaoxia, who was packing her things, was also completely confused.
"I don't know either, I just woke up here."
The city of Golden City looked a bit strange under the fog, and the streets were deserted.
It should be a bustling city, but in broad daylight it looks like a ghost town.
"You've come all the way to Saffron City, and you still don't know about Sabrina's Gym?"
A voice suddenly rang out from behind Xiao Zhi.
Looking back, I saw a middle-aged man who was out for a morning run running behind me.
The man had a full beard, and his baseball cap was pulled down so low that his face was obscured.
Xiao Zhi answered the uncle straightforwardly.
"Saria's dojo? We came here to challenge her."
The man spoke in a very cold tone.
"I advise you to avoid this place. Gyms aren't only found in Saffron City."
"Ah, why...?"
Before Xiaoxia could finish her question, the uncle disappeared from behind her.
When they reappeared, they were already at a crossroads in the distance, as if they had teleported.
Strange things kept happening, and Xiaoxia wanted to think things over carefully.
"Ash, how about we go to another city first? This place is too strange."
"Everyone says the Saffron City Gym Leader is just a monster, so let's not go."
"No, we've been lost for so long and finally got here. And the one who suddenly turned us into Goldenrod City must have been Sabrina."
She can teleport Ash from the forest to Saffron City, so even if they escape to other cities, she can still teleport them back.
After explaining the situation to Xia, they decided to enter the Goldenrod Gym to investigate.
[Ding! Main quest triggered: Gold Badge!: Defeat Sabrina, the Golden Badge Gym Leader;]

As usual, the main quest of the dojo system will be automatically triggered.
"Is anyone home?"
The dojo's interior is much larger than it appears from the outside, and the decor has a fantastical feel at first glance.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
A young man in a white coat walked out from inside.
He had an exaggerated red rooster-like hairstyle and spoke somewhat unclearly while wearing a mask.
"I'm Ash from Pallet Town, here to challenge the Gym."
"You want to challenge Miss Sabrina?" The masked youth looked Ash and his friends up and down with a strange expression.
Ash calmly punched the wall, instantly creating a large hole.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down the young man's back.
"Come with me if you want to challenge a gym."
He stopped trying to stop him and quickly turned around to lead the way.
On the way, Ash passed a room with a large table.
There were people in white coats doing strange things inside the room.
Some people were staring blankly at a few playing cards, while others were straining against a spoon.
"Excuse me, what are you all doing in that room?"
In the end, Xiaoxia couldn't help but ask a question.
"Heh, you came all the way to Golden City and you don't even know where this room is?"
The masked youth took a spoon out of his pocket and started performing in front of Xiaozhi and the others.
"Watch closely, hmm..."
After a series of very forceful shouts, the young man's face turned red, he was covered in sweat, and with a loud shout, the spoon finally bent.
Xiaoxia picked up the spoon and said in surprise.
"Wow, that's amazing! Is it magic?"
"What magic? It's superpowers, superpowers!"
"This really is a superpower."
Ash's aura perception did indeed detect the fluctuations of the psychic power, although they were very weak.
But since it allows ordinary people to use superpowers, it seems that the development class that Sabrina organized to alleviate loneliness is actually quite effective.
"Hmph, at least the man knows his stuff."
The masked young man was breathing heavily, seemingly quite displeased that Xiaoxia mistook his superpower for magic.
He pushed open a door, and a battle arena appeared before Ash.
Stone pillars with torches were erected on both sides of the battlefield.
"This place doesn't look like a fighting arena; it's more like a temple."
Xiao Zhi carefully observed his surroundings.
The young man approached the curtain on the opposite platform, knelt respectfully on one knee, and said...
"Miss Sabrina, this person wants to challenge the gym."
The curtain slowly rose, and a doll dressed in a white dress floated out.
"Hey Xiaozhi, look at that doll!"
Following the direction Xiaoxia pointed, Xiaozhi also recognized the thing.
They also encountered this doll at the campsite last night.
They initially thought it was a lost little girl and wanted to help her, but the doll just stared at them coldly.
It also disappeared suddenly very quickly, as if it had stumbled upon something dirty.
It seems that it was around that time that Naz set her sights on them.
A red light flashed in the doll's eyes, and the young man kneeling before the hall suddenly trembled all over and stood up with a pained expression.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bothered you, please forgive me!"
As the red light faded, the young man fled in panic toward the arena's gate.
This bizarre scene sent a chill down Xiaoxia's spine.
"Are you Naz?"
Xiao Zhi shouted.
Another beautiful girl with long, straight black hair and wearing a red uniform floated out from behind the curtain; it turned out that she was holding the doll.
"I want the Gold Badge, please battle me!"
The girl with long, straight black hair stared at Xiaozhi without moving or showing any expression, but the doll in her hand made a sound instead.
The voice sounded like a little girl's voice.
"Okay, I don't mind playing against you, but if you lose, you have to be my friend and play with me."
"To be friends?"
This strange request left Ash momentarily speechless.
Thinking about it carefully, Naz is indeed just a little girl who has no friends, whose parents also see her as a monster, and who lacks love and companionship.
"Of course, I'd be happy to be your friend even if we don't fight."

Why is the mission name so strange?
Actually, as long as Sabrina promises not to turn people into dolls, Ash would be happy to be friends with this beautiful woman with long, straight black hair.
Come to think of it, it's all Xiao Mao's fault.
It's because I spent too much time with these scumbags growing up that I've become less and less resistant to beautiful women.
Yes, it must all be Xiao Mao's fault!
"This is a one-on-one match where there's absolutely no going back."
"No problem!"
Sabrina held the doll still with both hands, but a Poké Ball flew out of her waist and landed in the field.
"Come out, Casey."
A Pokémon jumped out. It had a pointed nose, its eyes were almost always closed, and it was entirely yellow with a head that resembled a fox.
"So this is a Pokémon with super powers."
This is the first time I've seen Ash unleash his ace up his sleeve, the one he prepared to fight Sabrina.
"Go for it, Picosie, it's up to you."
