Ordinary Pikachus are like a stray dog on the roadside, numerous, weakling, but Ash's Pikachu can be called Special.
Why?
A deep doubt lingered in Slyvan's mind.
Even though Ash's Pikachu was supposed to be very special, and even though he had countless opportunities to check it's talent at Oak Laboratory, Slyvan has no idea about when Ash's Pikachu became special.
Ah, because he used the individual value assessment software on his Rotom mobile phone to check, and found that the current Pikachu's IV values were very average.
This proves that Pikachu was just an ordinary Pikachu at the beginning.
It was Ash who made Pikachu special, not Pikachu who made Ash special.
So what Slyvan needs to figure out is how Ash's Pikachu became special.
On the small path in Viridian Forest, Slyvan sorted out his thoughts while walking.
"Slyvan, please behave yourself!"
From the front, Ash's struggling voice was heard.
Slyvan looked ahead and saw Ash struggling to pull Pikachu.
Pikachu is still in his rebellious period. Not only is he unwilling to enter the Poké Ball, he also refuses to obey Ash's orders.
Regarding this symptom, Slyvan said that it can be cured by bringing a few Spearows.
There was no other way, Ash could only wear insulating gloves and "tie" Pikachu, pulling him forward.
However, unlike in the anime, Ash now has two ropes in his hands, pulling two Pokémon.
The one on the left is Pikachu, and the one on the right is also Pikachu.
The other Pikachu was the one that Slyvan got from Professor Oak.
For research projects, there must be more samples.
In order to distinguish it, Slyvan gave his Pikachu a middle-parted hairstyle.
"Pika pi?"
Pikachu with a middle-parted hair tilted his head and looked at Slyvan with a confused expression.
It didn't understand why the trainer allowed itself to be dragged away by this human.
But the trainer must have a deeper meaning behind doing this.
The Pikachu with the middle-parted hair decided to give up and followed Pikachu's example, simply sitting down and letting Ash drag him away.
"Ah! Slyvan, look at him, look at him!"
Ash pointed at his middle-parted hair Pikachu and looked at Slyvan with a look of despair on his face, as if to say:
'If you don't take it back, it will be corrupted by my Pikachu.'
Unexpectedly, Slyvan ignored him completely and instead focused on a patch of grass in front of him.
Ash was curious, so he stopped and looked over.
The grass moved slightly, and a Pokémon jumped out.
"It's a Pokémon!"
Ash's eyes lit up and he immediately took out the pokedex.
[Spearow, a bird Pokémon. Unlike Pidgey, it has a very bad temper.]
"Great! It's Spearow!"
Ash's eyes lit up as he looked at Spearow, his heart filled with fighting spirit.
On the side, Slyvan was amazed at how quickly Ash got into the state in a second.
He truly deserves to be called the future world champion.
Looking at the Spearow, Slyvan's feelings were completely different from Ash's.
'This Spearow'
Slyvan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Pikachu is now extremely rebellious and refuses to listen to anyone. Naturally, he is unable to cooperate with Slyvan to conduct relevant research and testing.
Slyvan is preparing to advance the original plot of the Spearow attack to ease the relationship between Ash and Pikachu.
Thinking of this, Slyvan walked towards Ash.
At this moment, Ash's desire to fight was ignited, but it quickly died down.
For no reason other than-
His Pikachu wouldn't listen to him at all.
"No, I must catch my first Pokémon!"
As he was thinking, Ash took out his pajamas from his backpack and prepared to sneak over and catch Spearow.
"Snap!"
A pair of big hands suddenly held Ash down.
It was Slyvan. Under Ash's puzzled gaze, Slyvan handed him a "small" stone.
If Slyvan remembers correctly, in the original work, Ash threw a small stone, angered the Spearow, and attracted the attack of the entire Spearow tribe.
Finally, at the critical moment of life and death, he stepped forward to protect Pikachu, and the relationship between the two quickly warmed up.
Looking at the "pebble" handed over by Slyvan, Ash was stunned:
"Slyvan-san, where did you get the brick?"
"Ahem, no matter what, when this thing is out in the open, if you have strong power and can knock it out with flying bricks, your chances of taming it will be higher!"
Slyvan coughed twice, and a persuasive expression appeared on his fair face.
"Yeah!"
Ash's eyes lit up, and he took the brick from Slyvan's hand and threw it at Spearow like a Pokéball.
Although Ash's movements were extremely clumsy, the brick fell on Spearow's head as if it was destined.
"Bang!"
A huge bulge appeared on the top of the Spearow's head.
"Yeah! Hit it!"
Ash jumped up in joy.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
The Spearow did not fall down. Instead, tears welled up in its eyes. It turned around and looked at Ash fiercely.
For some reason, Ash had a bad feeling in his heart.
"SPEARRR—"
The fiery bird looked up to the sky and let out a long, sharp cry.
"Crash!"
In an instant, dozens of black shadows fell from the surrounding trees like rain.
They were all Spearows, all looking at Ash with fierce expressions.
Ash swallowed his saliva, and seemed to be a little frightened. He spoke tremblingly:
"Slyvan, I hit it, now what?"
Ash turned around, but didn't see Slyvan.
Looking down, Ash discovered that there was only one Pikachu left on the rope in his hand, looking at him with despair.
Looking back, Slyvan had already run away.
"Nigerudayo——"
In the distance, the sound of Slyvan running away was heard, and Ash was petrified on the spot.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why everyone asked him to help take care of Slyvan.
"Slyvan, you are such a traitorous person—"
Behind him, a black mass of Spearows overwhelmed Ash.
Seeing this, Slyvan stopped.
It's not that he's disloyal, it's just that he doesn't have the physical fitness of a superhuman like Ash.
Ash was beaten up by Spearow, but nothing happened to him.
After he was beaten up, he could even pedal his bicycle to fly and bring Pikachu to the Pokémon Center.
Slyvan doesn't have such a supernatural physique. If he doesn't run away in advance, he will be skinned alive even if he doesn't die.
"Silly thing, I'm doing this for your own good."
Sylvan removed his hat, pressed it to his chest, and bowed his head in three solemn seconds of silence for Ash.
Immediately, Slyvan turned around and walked towards the Pokémon Center in advance. He planned to go there directly to wait for Ash.
While walking, Slyvan took out his Rotom phone.
"Rotom!"
"Rotom, locate the nearest Pokémon Center."
"Rotom!"
Rotom responded twice and quickly mapped out a route.
Slyvan took a look and then nodded with satisfaction.
This Rotom mobile phone was given as part of the system's newbie gift pack. Needless to say, it's incredibly convenient.
Rotom, an Electric + Ghost Pokémon, is a plasma Pokémon that can sneak into various electrical appliances.
Although in the game, Rotom only has five forms: lawn mower, washing machine, microwave oven, electric fan, and refrigerator.
But games are games after all, what do they have to do with reality?
In reality, Slyvan has completed many research projects released by the system by developing Rotom.
He even received a large sum of patent fees for the project.
What about air-conditioning Rotom, motorcycle Rotom, and even electric toy Rotom?
He has developed them all.
As he walked, Slyvan was thinking in his mind that when he went to the Pokémon Center later, he must take a shower, change clothes, burn incense, and open the ten scratch-off tickets he had saved up over the years at once!
Suddenly, as if he saw something, Slyvan stopped.
Not far away, a girl dressed in familiar clothes was walking slowly towards them, pushing a bicycle.
"Um, can you please tell me how to get to the Pokémon Center nearby?"
The girl called out to Slyvan.
Looking at Misty pushing a bicycle and walking towards him, Slyvan raised his eyebrows.
By the way, is Misty's Psyduck considered special existence among the ordinary population of Psyduck?
