Well, although Gary is a bit flashy, he is indeed excellent in terms of Pokémon talent.
As for Ash…
It cannot be described simply as excellent.
That should be quite good, very good, extremely good...!
Sometimes Professor Oak would sigh and think how great it would be if Ash was his grandson.
"You are here after all, Professor Oak?"
"Of course. I came all the way here specially after hearing your news."
Ash and Professor Oak immediately started chatting, and Gary's eyes widened:
"So Grandpa, you're here for Ash?!"
"Yes, Ash sent me a message saying there are some things worth studying here, so I came here specifically."
"But..."
Gary pointed at himself stiffly: "I have invited you to join some of my activities before..."
"Ahem, that's not important."
Professor Oak patted Gary on the shoulder and said lovingly, "Gary, you are already an adult. You must learn to rely on yourself and stop relying on others."
Gary:"..."
Grandpa, why don't you wait until Ash leaves before saying this?
Do you think it's convincing to say this to me in front of him?
"Is Ash your grandson, or am I your grandson..."
The devastated second-generation rich kid could only chirp alone in the corner.
"Actually, there's me too."
When Professor Oak was greeting Misty and Xiaogang, Delia's figure also flashed out from outside.
Ash:"??!"
"Mom?! Why are you here too?"
"I was on a community consolation tour and happened to come to this stop."
Delia said with a smile, then looked at Xiaogang and Misty:
"It seems that you have made some good friends along the way."
"No, it was Ash who took us on this trip, and he also helped us a lot."
Xiao Gang said politely.
Misty, on the other hand, felt rather awkward and uncomfortable looking at Ash's mother.
"Ash's...mom?"
"Okay, stop worrying about it!"
Putting everything aside and not thinking too much, Gary stood at the battle position.
He immediately clapped his hands, "Ash, are all your three Pokémon ready?!"
"Of course~"
Ash and Professor Oak also stood on the other side and the referee's seat respectively.
"In this match, each side can use three Pokémon. The side whose Pokémon loses their combat ability first will be declared the loser."
After briefly announcing the rules, Professor Oak waved his hand and said, "The game begins!"
"Go, my darling!"
Gary was very confident and took out his Pokémon first.
Bang!
A white light flashed, and with two sharp blades flashing, a completely emerald green Pokémon appeared on the field.
"Hass!"
"Beep, Scyther, the mantis Pokémon, is so fast that it makes the sickles on its arms sharper. With just one swing, even a big tree can be cut in half."
Rotom Pokédex announced at the right time.
Scyther is born with a Species Strength of 500, with first-rate attack power and speed, and is an instant combat force that can be used in Breeder and battle immediately after being captured.
Ash did remember that later on, during the six-on-six battle at the Silver Conference.
Gary had a very good Scizor in his hands, and defeated Ash's Snorlax and Muk successively.
It's a pity that he fell under Charizard's flames. He was considered a very capable general.

This Scyther's qualifications are indeed very good.
But~~~
"It's still a step behind mine."
Ash took out a Pokémon ball and threw it out, "It's up to you, Charmander!"
"Huo Cha!"
There was another burst of white light, and Charmander appeared in the venue with high morale.
Ash always felt that this Scyther would be the Scizor that evolved in the future.
So here, he sent out Charmander to fight, which brought the battle between the two forward.
When Charmander entered the battle, Gengar quietly ran out of the Pokémon ball.
Hiding in the shadows, watching the battle, while also cheering for Charmander, his new friend.
