Chapter Summaries

Ye Qing bought eight expensive TMs, avoided a suspicious woman, and left for the Electric-type Gym the next morning. On the way, an angry Skarmory charged at him and Aerodactyl.

• An angry level 35 Skarmory charged at Ye Qing, and Aerodactyl dodged with Agility before turning to confront her.

Ye Qing’s airborne battle against Skarmory and Fearow drew a flock of Spearow, forcing him to abandon air travel and land in the forest on the way to Thunder City. Safe on the ground, he began training his Pokémon to learn moves from eight TMs.

• Ye Qing teleported away as Aerodactyl and Skarmory collided, then sent Milotic and Infernape to help when Fearow joined the fight.

• Ma Yinlei greeted Ye Qing warmly, praised Kirlia’s rarity, and shook Ye Qing’s hand.

• Ma Yinlei checked Ye Qing’s Pokémon League records and changed the Gym Challenge from two-on-two to three-on-three so he could try to draw out Kirlia.

• Ma Yinlei ordered Magnet Bomb, and Ye Qing told Lairon to protect himself with Protect.

• Ye Qing wondered why Ma Yinlei had changed the Gym match rules and used a personal Pokémon, but he could not identify what the man wanted.
