The three pig-headed warrior boys were very tactful and admitted defeat, which saved them the effort of a battle.
However, he had agreed to the Pokémon battle before, and now he is simply admitting defeat, which does not prevent Ash from obtaining the corresponding entry.
"Next time, remember how to face an unknown Pokémon Trainer with the right attitude and method~"
After putting away the Nidoking that was hitting Yawn, Ash patted him on the shoulder and left him with these words.
Then, under the relieved eyes of the pig-headed three samurai boys and Celestic's fearful face.
With the entries he had revealed, he and Misty walked out of the forest.
[Conquer others with virtue (purple): Use your fists to make the other party understand the true meaning of morality. When you "reason" with the other party, your strength will increase by 30%. ]
Well, after adding the entry, Ash felt his strength rising again and was in a good mood.
"That Nidoking... is it the one Professor Oak gave you for self-defense?"
On the way, Misty couldn't resist her curiosity and finally asked out loud.
Well, there are also situations in this world where younger generations come out to gain experience, and their elders are worried about them, so they give them a more powerful Pokémon to keep them company.
Misty guessed that this was the case with the Nidoking in Ash, which came from Professor Oak.
"No, I met it three months ago. After spending some time together, we felt very happy with each other, so it was willing to follow me."
Ash explained with a casual smile, "It's also the first Pokémon I captured besides Pikachu."
"Is that so…"
Misty still couldn't believe that just by spending some time together, such a powerful Pokémon could follow her from the bottom of its heart.
And just now, it seemed that Nidoking really obeyed Ash's orders and was a Pokémon that truly belonged to him.
"Really, I can't figure this guy out any more~"
Misty thought silently, but her steps following Ash did not stop at all.
Just like that, after the turmoil caused by the samurai boy, the forest returned to peace again.
There seemed to be no other unexpected events during the rest of the journey.
Apart from Misty occasionally being frightened and screaming by a few Weedles and Catterpies that appeared, there was nothing else going on.
There were two times when the pointed Growl was too big and attracted some Spearow and Beedrill.
Before they could get close, they were hit by Pikachu's Thunderbolt and fell to the ground. The rest fled in panic and never dared to get close again.
So, a few days passed peacefully.
The two finally arrived at the exit of the Evergreen Forest.
"Finally, we're leaving this scary forest full of bug Pokémon!!"
Looking at the wide road ahead, Misty suddenly felt like tears welling up in her eyes.
"I feel pretty good. It would be nice if I could encounter more Pokémon."
Ash, on the other hand, felt a little unsatisfied.
During these few days, he also released Pidegeotto and Pikachu and gave them some good training.
And the thing that is most in demand in Evergreen Forest is Rival.
Whether it is Beedrill, Raticate, etc., they are all good sparring partners.
Both Pokémon have made good progress.
Especially Pidegeotto, after Ash trained and commanded it to defeat their tribe's archenemy, Fearow.
It can be said that it is sincerely convinced by Ash and is always willing to follow Ash's training and arrangements.
"You think it's good, but I haven't seen you capture another one besides Pidegeotto~"
Misty pouted at the side.
"I said, if it's someone I don't want to conquer, I won't accept it if it's offered to me~"
Ash also turned his gaze to the road ahead.
I have indeed had some good experiences these days and met some good Pokémon.
One of them is Pinsir, who has championship talent.
Unfortunately, when Ash found it, it was already very old and could hardly walk.
Typically, there are no suitable opportunities to realize one's potential.
However, he did have an attribute of [Old but Strong (Red)], which Ash got by fighting him.
[Old but Strong (Red): As you get older, your strength gets stronger, and the maximum increase in strength can reach 30%. ]
Well, if we capture older Pokémon in the future, this entry can be prepared specifically for them.
After all, there are quite a few Pokémon like this in this world.
In addition, there is also a Raticate with Elite potential.
However, part of this Raticate's front tooth was broken due to a fight with other Pokémon.
Moreover, the contest condition is very poor in development and has almost no training value.
Even before they were about to leave the Evergreen Forest, Ash discovered a Scyther!
As it turns out, there is only elite talent.
"It's not easy to meet a good Pokémon~"
Ash shook his head in his mind, just through the battle, he could gain experience for Pikachu and also improve his attributes.
There was no good harvest in the Evergreen Forest this time, but not far ahead...
"But there is still a good future waiting for us!!"
"Pikachu~!!"
"And me!"
A certain beautiful girl followed suit, not wanting to be outdone.
...
Nibi City, also known as Pewter City.
It is a city located at the foot of a huge Rock Mountain in the northwest of Kanto Region, between Evergreen Forest and Mt. Moon.
There are two famous specialties here, one of which is stone.
This is a stone that is famous for its various practical uses.
As for the second one, it is...
"Because the Nibi Gym is very suitable for novice Trainers who have just started traveling as their first gym to challenge."
Walking on the road about to enter the city, Ash flipped through the Pokémon Alliance guide he bought from Viridian City.
"It says that the Gym Leader of Nibi City, Xiaogang, is a very generous Gym Trainer who is very friendly to traveling Rookies."
"For some novice Trainers who perform well, he can let them know the differences and rules between formal battles and external roadside battles, and also let them feel the victory of a gym-style battle."
"It has given new trainers a lot of confidence and encouraged them to move forward courageously on the road of trainer."
