Utilizing the ability to transmit information through Aura, Ash successfully transmitted the training and control methods of Aura into Korrina's mind.
He then used the same method to transmit the information to Gurkinn's mind.
After about five minutes, the two finally absorbed the vast amount of information in their minds.
When they opened their eyes, they were both filled with astonishment. They hadn't imagined that Aura Power could accomplish such feats; it was simply incredible.
"Thanks, Ash! I feel that in no time, both my Lucario and I will make rapid progress!" Korrina said excitedly, pumping her fist.
"Then I'll look forward to our next battle. My Lucario and I will also keep improving!" Ash replied with a smile.
After some pleasantries, Ash bade farewell, as he still needed to take Serena to Azalea Gym and find Mr. Kurt; he was quite busy.
"Go on, go on, we might meet again at the Silver Conference." Korrina waved to Ash, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Although their time together was short, both Ash's personality and the way they interacted made her feel very comfortable, hence her reluctance to part.
"Are you also participating in the Silver Conference?" Ash, not noticing the reluctance in Korrina's eyes, focused on the main point of what Korrina said.
According to Korrina, she was also going to participate in the Silver Conference?
"Of course, it's the Silver Conference! A festival for trainers worldwide, and now it has another name — the World Championship Preliminaries! How could I not go to such a competition?" Korrina nodded her head in reply.
This year's Silver Conference, due to a change in rules, not only had ordinary trainers but also countless Gym Trainers participating.
Even Gym Trainers have the dream of becoming one of the Eight Great Masters!
And Gym Trainers do not need to collect badges to participate in the Silver Conference, which is one of the perks for Gym Trainers.
Therefore, the number of Gym Trainers participating in the Silver Conference might reach a terrifying level.
After all, it's a competition that decides the entries for the World Championship; besides becoming an Elite, the only other way is to participate in this conference. That's why the Silver Conference is called the World Championship Preliminaries.
The Preliminaries, Qualifiers, and Main Tournament make up the complete World Championship process.
"I see, then I'll look forward to meeting you at the Silver Conference, Korrina!"
"Hmm!"
The two shook hands tightly, both revealing bright smiles to each other.
Gurkinn, watching Korrina from behind, observed her behavior with a thoughtful expression, seemingly realizing that this young man had a unique appeal to Korrina...
Despite usually being carefree, someone like Korrina is actually difficult to get close to at heart.
However, after just a short half-day together, Korrina seemed to have already opened her heart to Ash, truly a mysterious young man.
...
After saying goodbye to Korrina, Ash and the others proceeded to the next gym, Azalea Gym.
Azalea Gym is the native Gym of Azalea Town, and its Gym Leader is a young man, even younger than Falkner, using Bug Type Pokemon.
If one were to talk about difficulty, this Gym is much simpler compared to the Violet City Gym.
Although age is not the benchmark of a trainer's level, older Gym Trainers generally have more experience. An anomaly like Ash can be said to be a rarity in a millennium.
Moreover, before inheriting the Gym, Gym Leader Bugsy supposedly served as a Bug-Catching Boy outside.
Yes, the same Bug-Catching Boys that Ash frequently encountered when he first started his journey.
If his father hadn't called him back to inherit the Gym, Bugsy might still be enjoying leisurely days as a Bug-Catching Boy.
Now, Bugsy's father has gone traveling, leaving him alone to support the Gym bitterly.
Upon receiving this information, Ash and Misty immediately cast odd glances toward Brock.
This wasn't the first time they encountered such a Gym Leader. It seemed as though Gym Leaders everywhere were like Brock's parents, leaving their children with a few Pokemon, offering minimal guidance, before justifying their departure to travel under the guise of letting their children grow.
Like Korrina, even though Gurkinn let Korrina serve as Gym Leader for training, he would guide her and sometimes help relieve her pressure.
This is proper training. Brock's parents, these types of Gym Leader parents, just don't want responsibility and simply want to go out and play.
Initially, Ash thought that Gym Leaders like Brock's parents were a minority. After seeing the world, he realized it's not just a lone Murkrow out there.
After going through procedures at Azalea Gym, Serena began her battle with Bugsy.
Because the former holds a Gym Badge, this challenge was slightly more difficult.
Generally, new trainers faced Pokemon from Advanced Junior to Intermediate Level, but with one Gym Badge, the Gym Leader would send out Pokemon ranging from Intermediate to Advanced Peak level.
