"This weather is really crazy. It was clear and sunny a moment ago, and now it's suddenly raining. Did a Pokémon use Rain Dance or something?" Under a huge rock, Misty brushed away some raindrops from her head and complained unhappily.
"What's Rain Dance?" As a Newbie, Ash humbly asked.
Ash felt that this girl he met on the road knew a lot of things.
Although the big shots in the group were very knowledgeable about Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than many Champion Trainers, they definitely knew nothing about the history and experiences of his world.
Ash couldn't just run into the group to ask about every little bit of knowledge, and if Misty hadn't brought it up, Ash wouldn't even have known to ask about those things he didn't understand.
"...Did you even attend Pokémon knowledge classes? Why don't you even know what Rain Dance is?" Misty's emerald green eyes stared intently at Ash, filled with suspicion.
Aside from being a little strong and having a good appearance, this person seemed completely like a child, knowing nothing and understanding nothing.
"Uh... that... I was a bit distracted during class and didn't really listen, so there's a lot I'm not clear on," Ash scratched his head, replying awkwardly.
His theoretical courses were indeed a mess. If there were rules that required passing theoretical courses before being able to travel, he estimated he wouldn't be able to travel until he was twenty.
"I'm really fed up with you. If you didn't have that Aura Power, you'd probably fall flat on your face not long after going out."
In reality, it was exactly as Misty said. If Ash hadn't drawn Aura Power at the beginning, let alone the encirclement by the Spearow flock, he probably wouldn't have even truly caught Pikachu by now.
One could only say it was a good thing he had the chat group, and a good thing he drew Aura Power from the chat group. This turned his disastrous starting situation into a perfect one.
"It was my fault for being distracted in class... How about you join us!" Ash widened his bright eyes and looked at Misty expectantly.
"Join you?"
"Yes, it means traveling with us. Misty, do you have any goals you want to achieve?"
Misty paused, then said with a look of longing, "I want to become a Water-type Pokémon Master! To become the strongest Water-type expert under the heavens, preferably like Elite Lorelei, or even stronger than Elite Lorelei!"
Lorelei, one of the Kanto Elite Four, specializes in Ice-type Pokémon. Ice and Water are closely related, and Lorelei also has deep knowledge of Water-type Pokémon, so Lorelei is also Misty's goal.
"A Water-type Pokémon Master, huh? I don't have a specific type. My goal is to become a Pokémon Master. First, I want to defeat Mr. Leon and become the strongest Trainer!" Ash clenched his fists, saying with full fighting spirit.
"Mr. Leon? He's the strongest Trainer in the world, and you want to defeat him first! What will you do after defeating Leon? Fly to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?" Misty retorted, somewhat speechless.
This person didn't have much knowledge, but his ideals were quite grand. Defeat Leon first, she said frankly, even if Ash was given ten years, he might not be able to beat Leon.
If it were a real-life battle, then he might have a chance to win against Leon.
"Hehe, anyway, I'm going to defeat Mr. Leon! How about it, Misty, want to travel with me?" Ash formally invited Misty.
Misty hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Alright, I don't really have anywhere to go anyway, so I might as well go with you."
"Yay! Pikachu, we have a new companion!"
"Pika Pika~" Pikachu also smiled. Since accepting Ash, he was no longer so resistant to humans. More importantly, after interacting with Misty for a while, he didn't feel any resistance towards her.
Just like that, Ash's team successfully gained a new member. Ash hadn't expected that his first new member wouldn't be a Pokémon but a human. This is what people call the unpredictability of life.
Misty's addition was very important to Ash. Regardless of Misty's strength, in terms of knowledge, Misty definitely surpassed him. He could ask Misty about any daily things he didn't understand. If Misty didn't know, he could ask the big shots in the group. He wanted to make up for all the knowledge he missed in class!
The rain was still falling, the gloomy sky and the falling rain made one feel sleepy.
However, although they had shelter from the rain, the ground was still wet, making it impossible to sit. Misty was currently leaning on her bicycle, while Ash was casually leaning against the wall, eyes slightly closed, looking like he was resting. In reality, he had already entered the chat group... [Newbie Ash: Big shots, I have a new member here!]
[Breeder Ash: Oh? Did you catch a Pokémon?]
[Newbie Ash: No, it's a person! Her name is Misty, and she knows so much. I don't have to run into the group to ask the big shots about daily questions anymore; I can just ask her from now on.]
[Champion Ash: Oh? Is it Misty, the Gym Leader of Cerulean Gym?]
[Newbie Ash: Cerulean Gym? I don't know, she didn't say. But she knows so much, so she might really be a Gym Leader.]
[Harem King Ash: Misty is good, Misty. Newbie, you must seize the opportunity.]
[Newbie Ash: Opportunity? What opportunity?]
[Aura Hero Ash: Don't mind that guy, he's the only one in the group who's completely horny.]
[Harem King Ash: Hey! How can you say that! Don't you need to marry a wife? Don't you need to have children?! What do you mean by horny!]
[Aura Hero: Heh heh, most people only marry one wife, but how many do you have? Newbie, remember, you can learn from anyone, but don't learn from him. Learning from that guy will definitely lead you astray.]
[Harem King Ash: Don't be like that, okay? I finally found a blank slate, and you two aren't dating, but you can't influence other teenagers!]
[Champion Ash: Heh heh, what Harem King said actually makes sense. It's not bad to find a partner using his knowledge, but remember, don't bite off more than you can chew, and don't be as promiscuous as him... Also, since Misty agreed to your invitation and joined the team, you should have new drawing chances. Go check the notification bar.]
[Newbie Ash: Okay!]
Ash said he completely didn't understand the other things the big shots said, but he did understand the instruction to check the drawing chances.
Ash shifted his gaze to the upper right corner of the group chat. There was a flashing light point at the top, indicating new notifications. Ash opened the notification bar, and sure enough, several new messages were displayed there...
