Chapter 1: Transmigration, Golden Finger ActivatedThe boy looked at himself in the mirror and the yellow rodent beside him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had actually transmigrated as Ash, the protagonist of the Pokemon world, and beside him was the famous Pikachu.That's right, he wasn't the original boy, but a transmigrator named Ash, a Pokemon enthusiast who liked Ash very much. Because the official announcement said Ash's journey was ending, he died of electrocution in a fit of rage and transmigrated to this world."Very well, since I've been allowed to transmigrate, let me carve out a path for myself and become a Pokemon Master!" Ash thought to himself.Being an orphan in his previous life, he had no attachments, making him full of expectations for this world.Sorting through the memories in his mind, his predecessor had just finished the Silver Conferencenot long ago and was preparing to set off for the Hoenn region tomorrow to begin a new journey!"Ash and Pikachu, come down for dinner," Deliashouted from downstairs."We know, Mom! We're coming down right now."So he carried Pikachu to the dining table. The red-haired young woman and a clown-like Pokemonbefore him were Ash's mother, Delia, and Mr. Mime!Looking at the delicious food on the table, Ash's appetite was instantly whetted!"It's time to eat!" "Pika-pika~""Mmm! So delicious!" Ash's eyes lit up as he ate, and Pikachu nodded in agreement!"I'm finished! Mom, I'm going to Professor Oaks Laboratory." After finishing his meal, Ash stood up and reached out his hand, and Pikachu quickly climbed up Ash's shoulder along his arm."Okay, be careful on the way!""Got it, Mom." "Pika-pika~"[Ding~ Pokemon Achievement Systemactivated!]On the way to Professor Oaks Laboratory, a 'ding' suddenly sounded in Ash's mind, making him reflexively stop in his tracks."Pika~" (՞•Ꙫ•՞)ﾉ??? Pikachu on his shoulder let out a confused cry as he watched Ash suddenly stop."It's nothing, Pikachu," Ash replied with a smile, then continued towards Professor Oaks Laboratory."Wahahaha, as expected, a Golden Finger is a must-have for transmigration." Ash thought happily and asked impatiently, "System, what functions do you have?"[Ding~ The host system has three major functions: first, it can view all Pokemon information; second, there is a Pokemon Store where you can buy all Pokemon items including Mega Stones and Z-Crystals with points; third, there are achievement tasks, and the host can obtain rewards upon completing them. Points can be obtained through Pokemon battles; the higher the Pokemon's level, the more points are earned.][System long-term tasks include Travel Achievements:]1. Defeating a Gym earns 1,000 points.2. Reaching the Top 16 of the League Conferenceearns 2,000 points, Top 8 earns 5,000 points, Top 4 earns 10,000 points, Third Place earns 15,000 points, Runner-up earns 20,000 points, and Champion earns 50,000 points.]"Wuhu, taking off." ✧*｡٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧* Ash thought happily."System, is there a Novice Gift Pack?"[Ding~ No, but as compensation, the system will settle the achievement points for the host's Kantoand Johto journeys.][Ding~ Settling compensation points for the Kantojourney, totaling 23,000 points.]"Yay! ε(*･ω･)_/ﾟ:･☆ Invincible." Ash said excitedly as he looked at the points on the virtual panel, then looked at Pikachu on his shoulder and thought: View![Pikachu][Classification: Mouse Pokemon][Type: Electric][Gender: Male][Ability: Static (Pokemon with this ability have a 30% chance of paralyzing the opponent when hit by a contact move during battle)][Strength: Gym Peak][Moves: Thunder Shock, Thunderbolt, Quick Attack, Agility, Thunder...][tera type: Flying][Held Item: None]Pokemon strength is divided into Ordinary, Superior, Gym, Semi-Elite, Elite, Champion, Legendary, Mythical, and Ultra-Legendary!"As expected of Pikachu, its strength is already at the Gym Peak, and its tera type is actually Flying!"He browsed the items in the point store on the way: an ordinary Poke Ball costs 200 points, a Great Ballcosts 500 points, Ultra Balls and other special balls cost 1,000 points, and a Master Ball costs 10,000 points!Other Held Items cost 1,000 points each, and TMs cost 2,000 points! However, Legendary items are not for sale in the system.z-ring, ordinary Z-Crystals, Tera Orbs, and key stones cost 5,000 points, but 50 Tera Shards, Mega Stones, and exclusive Z-Crystals cost 10,000 points!But the good news is that after using the Tera Orb, the system will automatically refill the Tera energy within it.Soon, Ash arrived at Professor Oaks Laboratorywith Pikachu. Looking at the red house with a huge windmill, Ash excitedly pushed open the gate and rang the doorbell in front of the house, "Ding-dong~"Then Tracey soon opened the door for Ash.At this time, Professor Oak also walked over, "Good morning! Ash!""Good morning! Professor Oak and Tracey!""Ash, are you here to see your Pokemon?" Professor Oak asked with a smile."Yeah!" Ash nodded.Then Professor Oak led Ash to the backyard, and Ash began to look for his Pokemon."Dana!" A green-skinned toad on all fours appeared before him first, with a strange seed growing on its back. After seeing Ash, it let out an excited cry and then fired a Solar Beam into the sky!"Good morning, Bulbasaur!" Ash greeted Bulbasaurwith a smile.Soon the Ground began to vibrate, and a group of Pokemon rushed towards them! Among them, the fastest was undoubtedly Bayleef."Bay-lee~ Bay-lee~" Bayleef rubbed against Ashdirectly.Ash happily interacted with his Pokemon.At the same time, Ash didn't forget to use the system to check their data!Snorlax, Gym Late Stage, tera type: normal!Bulbasaur and Heracross, Gym Early Stage, tera types are Grass and Bug respectively!Bayleef, Kingler, the Tauros leader, and Noctowl are at the Superior Peak, with tera types being Grass, Water, normal, and Flying respectively!Muk, Superior Late Stage, tera type: Poison!Totodile and Cyndaquil, Superior Mid Stage, tera types are Water and Fire respectively!Phanpy is at Ordinary Late Stage, tera type: Ground!Moreover, Cyndaquil is close to evolving; after evolving, its strength should at least reach SuperiorLate Stage!"Professor Oak, I'll take Phanpy with me to the Hoenn region this time!" Ash told Professor Oakwhich Pokemon he wanted to take."Okay! Are you only taking this one?" Professor Oakasked in confusion.When Bayleef heard that it wasn't being taken, it immediately started to act spoiled towards Ash with a "Bay-lee~ Bay-lee~"!"Alright, alright, Bayleef!" Ash began to coax the jealous Bayleef, which finally calmed it down, looking at Ash piteously and reluctantly.Ash then managed to get away and answered Professor Oak, "And an old friend!""Oh?! Really!" Professor Oak nodded and didn't ask further.Then, using the Pokemon transfer device at Professor Oaks Laboratory, he brought Charizardover!"Come out! Charizard!""Aowuu~" With a dragon's roar, Charizardappeared!![Charizard][Type: Fire, Flying][Ability: Blaze (When current HP ≤ 1/3 of max HP, the power of Fire-type moves is increased to 1.5x.)][Strength: Semi-Elite Early Stage][Moves: Flamethrower, Seismic Toss, Dragon Pulse, Overheat, Air Slash, Dragon Tail...][tera type: Dragon][Held Item: None]As expected of Charizard, it didn't disappoint him; not only had its strength reached Semi-Elite, but its tera type was actually Dragon!!"Hi, Charizard! You've become stronger again!" Ashgreeted."Aowuu~ d=====(￣▽￣*)b"Afterward, Ash bought several TMs and items from the store to increase his Pokemon's strength and train them!At the same time, he bought a Tera Orb, a z-ring, and a Normal Z for self-defense.Professor Oak and Tracey were surprised to see Ashtraining so seriously, and at the same time, Professor Oak was gratified, feeling that Ash had grown up!The morning's work yielded great results: Pikachuwas equipped with a Light Ball and learned Tera Blast; Charizard was equipped with Charcoal and learned Dragon Rush; Snorlax learned Sleep Talk!Cyndaquil successfully evolved into Quilava, reaching Superior Late Stage! Although the other Pokemon didn't make such large strides, their strength also improved! By then, all of Ash's points were spent!After lunch, Ash did not continue training with the Pokemon but took Pikachu to Viridian Forest...To be continued...PS: New author, new book, new voyage! Please support me, everyone! Please bookmark it!!
Chapter 2: The Capture in Viridian Forest, Pidgeot's ReturnViridian Forest is massive; even when his predecessor traveled through Kanto, he only stayed on the outskirts and never ventured deep into its core!It was also here that Ash caught his first and second Pokemon: Caterpie and Pidgeotto.Caterpie evolved into Butterfree and left Ash to be with its true love, a pink Butterfree.After Pidgeotto evolved into Pidgeot, it stayed in Viridian Forest to protect the Pidgey and Pidgeottofamilies and made a promise to Ash. Now, it's time to fulfill that promise and have Pidgeot return!The trees throughout Viridian Forest are lush and leafy, making the interior quite dim! This has turned the place into a paradise for Bug-type and Flying-type Pokemon!!Ash felt extremely refreshed looking at the scenery before him. "Alright! Pikachu, let's charge through together!""Pika~" Pikachu patted its chest, indicating, "Leave it to me!"Thus, the duo turned into "demons" in the forest, defeating every Pokemon they encountered, which earned Ash quite a few Points!However, Ash exchanged some Energy Cube and gave them to the defeated Pokemon as compensation before continuing forward."Pika pika~" Suddenly, Pikachu tapped Ash and pointed to the side, shouting.Ash looked in that direction and saw a brown fox appearing there. "Is that... an Eevee?! Great!"As a Pokemon with eight evolution forms, Eevee is very rare![Eevee][Type: normal][Gender: Male][Ability: Adaptability (When a Pokemon uses a move of the same type as itself, this ability increases its power.)][Strength: Ordinary Mid-stage][Moves: Agility, Sand Attack, Swift, Quick Attack, Dig, Shadow Sneak, Double Kick][tera type: normal]When Ash saw that the Eevee before him was only at the Ordinary Mid-stage yet already knew Shadow Ball, Dig, and Double Kick, his eyes immediately lit up. This Eevee is definitely gifted!Eevee raised its head proudly and looked at Ash and Pikachu, slowly approaching with an arrogant swagger!"Alright! Go, Pikachu! Catch this Eevee!!" "Pika~ Pika~"Pikachu rushed forward, sparks of electricity flashing in the red pouches on its cheeks, filled with fighting spirit!"Eevee~" Seeing Pikachu's terrifying aura, Eeveeimmediately used Dig to leave!"Oh no! Quick, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt."As soon as he finished speaking, "Pika~ chu~" Pikachu instantly launched a Thunderbolt!But it was still a step too late; Eevee had already escaped using Dig. Fortunately, Eevee didn't flee too far, and Ash kept a close eye on the ground's movement!"Pikachu, quick! Use Agility plus Quick Attack on the right!""Pika pika~" "Eevee~"Pikachu flashed with white light and appeared in front of Eevee, knocking it Flying!"Great! Give it the finishing blow with our new move, Tera Blast!"Pika~~A burst of white light flashed from Pikachu's little fists, hitting Eevee with a blue glow and causing it to lose its ability to battle instantly!"Great! Go, Poké Ball!" Ash flipped his cap and threw the Poké Ball. The Poké Ball hit Eevee, released a red light, and sucked Eevee inside!The Poké Ball began to shake. Under the nervous and expectant gazes of Ash and Pikachu, the Poké Ball shook three times, and a three-star flash appeared at the top!!"Yeah! I caught an Eevee!" "Pi~ Pikachu~" ♡(*´∀｀*)people(*´∀｀*)♡Pikachu ran over, picked up the Poké Ball, returned to Ash's side, and handed it to him!"Thanks, Pikachu!" O(∩_∩)O"Pika pi~" Pikachu waved its hand."Come out, Eevee!" At the same time, Ash used Points from the system to exchange for a Potion and sprayed it on Eevee's wounds."Eevee~" After Eevee woke up, it found itself lying in Ash's arms."You're awake. Eevee, here's a Pokeblock for you, try it!" "Eevee~" After Eevee tasted a piece, its eyes sparkled (✧∇✧) and it began to eat voraciously. After finishing, it lunged into Ash's arms and started nuzzling him with its head!Afterward, Ash recalled Eevee into its Poké Ball and continued forward with Pikachu toward the PidgeotFamily's location!---- One hour later ----As they moved forward, the trees became less dense, and the forest appeared much brighter! There were very few Bug-type Pokemon here; it was clearly the territory of a powerful Pokemon group! As they walked, Pidgey and Pidgeotto appeared constantly; this was clearly Pidgeot's territory!Ash knew he couldn't go any further, or they would be surrounded and attacked as intruders!Ash took a deep breath and shouted:"Pidgeot! I've come to get you!" "Pika pi~""Pidgeot! I've come to get you!" "Pika pi~"...Just then, the sound of wind generated by Agilityreached his ears! Ash and Pikachu looked up in the direction of the sound and saw two massive PidgeotFlying over in the sunlight! The Pidgeot in front had an even more kingly aura!!"Pidgeot! Over here, I've come to get you! Sorry I'm late!" "Pika pi~"The Pidgeot in front dove down and embraced Ashand Pikachu with its wide wings![Pidgeot][Type: normal, Flying][Ability: Keen Eye (Accuracy cannot be lowered by the opponent in any way, and it ignores the target's increased evasion.)][Strength: Gym Peak][Moves: Hurricane, Brave Bird, Roost, Steel Wing, Hyper Beam...][tera type: Flying]"Pidgeot! Are you willing to travel with me again?""Pi~ dgeot~" Pidgeot flew a short distance away and looked at Ash with eyes full of fighting spirit."Alright! I understand! Go, Pikachu!""Pika~" Pikachu looked at Pidgeot with full fighting spirit; clearly, it also wanted to see Pidgeot's strength!"Pi~" Pidgeot flapped its wings and launched—Air Slash!"Pikachu, dodge it! Close in with Quick Attack and use Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded."Pika~ chu~" Pikachu easily dodged the Air Slash, got underneath Pidgeot, and blasted out golden electricity!Pidgeot dodged the Thunderbolt and immediately launched the powerful Flying-type move, Brave Bird!"Again, Pikachu! Keep using Thunderbolt!" Ashshouted.Bang! This time the Thunderbolt successfully hit Pidgeot, causing an explosion and thick smoke, but soon Pidgeot charged out from the smoke!Ash was overjoyed to see this. One must know that Pikachu's Special Attack had been enhanced by the Light Ball, yet Pidgeot actually managed to take it!"Go! Pikachu, use Quick Attack!""Pika~" Pikachu rushed forward, but what it used wasn't Quick Attack; instead, it was a move where its entire body was filled with electricity!"Is this?! Pikachu's signature move, Volt Tackle!" Ash's eyes flashed with excitement.Pidgeot showed no fear and launched Brave Birdonce again, diving down!Bang! An explosion sounded, creating a large amount of smoke!"Pi~" Afterward, Pidgeot flew out of the smoke carrying Pikachu, who was waving its hand on Pidgeot's back. "Pika pi~"Then Pidgeot flew down to Ash's side and nuzzled its head in Ash's arms. Pikachu also jumped from Pidgeot's head back onto Ash's shoulder!Ash took out a Poké Ball and pointed it at Pidgeot. "Welcome back, Pidgeot!""Pi~" Pidgeot pecked the Poké Ball and returned inside, becoming Ash's partner once again!The Pidgey and Pidgeotto nearby began to cry out, as if seeing off their king! Ash exchanged for some more Energy Cube and handed them to the other Pidgeot. Afterward, that Pidgeot left the area with the Energy Cube, the Pidgeotto, and the Pidgey!"Let's go, Pikachu! This mission was a complete success!" "Pika pi~" Pikachu nodded.Ash and Pikachu left Viridian Forest together as the setting sun cast shadows of them walking through the forest.————————————In the backyard of Professor Oaks Laboratory, Ash's mother Delia, Professor Oak, and Tracey held a farewell party for Ash, and Ash's Pokemon also gathered together, making it very lively!To be continued...
Chapter 3: Setting Off for the Hoenn Region, the True Protagonist AppearsIn the backyard of Professor Oak's Laboratory, Ash's Pokémon are gathered together, and it's quite lively!"Long time no see! Pidgeot, I didn't expect your strength to have become so great!" Bulbasaur's eyes sparkled as it spoke."Yeah, but still not as strong as me!" Charizard said proudly."Hardly," Pidgeot replied politely, then mocked Charizard, "On the other hand, a problem child like you has actually become obedient. It wasn't easy!""Cough, I was just young and ignorant! Besides, am I a problem child?! Do you want to fight!" After glancing at Ash, Charizard glared at Pidgeot, ready to square off."Hmph! Who's afraid of who!" Pidgeot replied, refusing to back down."Hey, hey, hey~ Let's talk this out nicely!!" The peacemaker Bulbasaur hurriedly tried to stop the fight."This great one tells you, don't look at how weak I am now; in the near future, you will all be my defeated opponents! And I will replace the position of that yellow-skinned rat!""So while I am still weak, you'd better flatter me! Otherwise, when I become powerful, I won't even look at you!" Eevee stood on a giant rock, looking down haughtily at the group of Pokémon."Brothers! Charge! Take down this arrogant Eevee! Let him know what humility is!" Among them, Bayleef was the first to lose patience, leading a group of male Pokémon to charge at the front."A gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands! You bastards! Help!" Eevee was chased all over the place."Pika~" ། – _ – ། Pikachu shook his head.————The Elegant Dividing Line————On the other side, the farewell party has already ended!"Ash, here are new clothes and a backpack! Mom has already prepared them for you!" Delia brought the new equipment to Ash!"Thanks, Mom!" Ash happily took the new equipment."Ash, this is the latest Pokédex. It contains data on Pokémon from the Hoenn region! Take it as a parting gift! Once you reach the Hoenn region, you can pay a visit to Professor Birch!" Professor Oakwalked over and handed over a Pokédex."Ohh~ Thank you, Professor Oak!" Although it wasn't as convenient as the system for Ash, it could serve as identification!————The Next Day————"Ash, be careful on the road! Pikachu, I'm counting on you to look after Ash!" Delia waved goodbye to Ash."Pika-pi~" "Got it! We're heading out!"Leaving Pallet Town, Ash arrived at the port and boarded a cruise ship, heading towards the Hoennregion...On the passenger ship, "Come out! Eevee, Phanpy!""Eevee~" "Bubble~"Eevee ran straight to Ash's other shoulder to claim his territory; if Bayleef knew, she would definitely be jealous and start hunting him down! Phanpy, meanwhile, ran around on the deck!Pidgeot was not released, as its size was not suitable for moving around on the cruise ship.Looking at the endless sea before him, he would likely be on the cruise for a while, as the distance between the two regions was quite far! Ash also enjoyed this peaceful voyage!While Ash was enjoying the voyage, in the distance, two people and a cat were lying down using binoculars to observe Ash and the others—or more accurately, Pikachu!Night fell, and inside the room, Ash and the others had already entered dreamland! Click?! The door opened!A mechanical arm reached over, grabbed Pikachu in an instant, and quickly pulled back!"Pika~ Pika~" Pikachu was startled awake ＼(`Δ')／ and started shouting."Pikachu! What's going on?" Ash was also startled awake and shouted.At that moment, a voice came from outside the door:"Wahahaha! Since you've asked so sincerely,""We'll tell you in our great mercy!""To prevent the world's destruction~""To protect the world's peace~""To denounce the evils of truth and love~""A lovable and charming villainous duo.""Jessie!" "James!""We are the Team Rockets that travel across the galaxy~""White hole, a white tomorrow awaits us~""That's right! Meowth~" "Wobbuffet~""Team Rockets! Oh no, how could I have forgotten them!!" Ash felt regret in his heart as he grabbed his Poké Balls and chased them outside!Ash rushed out and saw the Team Rocket Trio as well as Pikachu trapped inside an Electric-proof cage!"Pika-pi~" Pikachu kept banging on the Electric-proof cage, calling out to Ash."Team Rockets! Let Pikachu go right now!" Ashshouted."Wahahaha! How is that possible, Satoshi! Pikachuis ours now! James, Meowth, let's retreat!" Jessie laughed."Roger! Meow!" "Weezing, use Smog!""Don't think you're getting away! Come out, Pidgeot! Use Hurricane to blow the smoke away, then use Steel Wing to break the Electric-proof cage and rescue Pikachu!""Pidgeot~" Pidgeot blew the smoke away and charged in. Team Rockets felt a sense of impending doom as they watched Pidgeot get closer and closer!Jessie said nervously, "Wobbuffet, quick... quick use Counter!! Come out, Arbok, use Poison Needle!" "Wobbuffet~" "Chaaa~"[Meowth] [Strength: Ordinary Intermediate][Arbok] [Strength: Superior Peak][Weezing] [Strength: Superior Peak][Wobbuffet] [Strength: Gym Mid-stage]But Team Rockets had vastly underestimated Pidgeot's speed. Pidgeot had already reached them, and its wings, radiating a metallic luster, shattered the Electric-proof cage. Pikachu successfully escaped and jumped onto Pidgeot's back!"Great! Go! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt! Pidgeot, use Hurricane!!" Ash shouted happily upon seeing this."Pika~ chu~" "Pidgeot~"A golden Hurricane blasted the Team Rocket Triostraight into the sky!"Ah! What a bad feeling!" "Wobbuffet (ᗒᗣᗕ)..."Pidgeot then flew down with Pikachu!"Pika~" Pikachu leaped into Ash's arms."I'm so glad you're okay, Pikachu! Thank you too, Pidgeot!" "Pika~ Pika~""Pidgeot~"[Ding~ Achievement Completed — Defeat Team Rockets for the first time! Reward: 5000 Points]During the rest of the voyage, without Team Rockets' interference, peace was restored. Ashstopped wasting time and began training. First, he had Pikachu feel the Steel-type energy on the deck to learn Iron Tail, with Pidgeot assisting on the side.Then, Ash used the points he just earned to buy a Sharp Beak and a Heat Wave TM for Pidgeot, as well as two Macho Braces for Eevee and Phanpy to wear!"Pika~" Pikachu's tail turned to a metallic luster and successfully struck Pidgeot. Bang!"Great! Pikachu, you did it!" "Pika~ Pika~" ♡(*´∀｀*)people(*´∀｀*)♡Since Phanpy and Eevee were still at a relatively low strength level in their training, they improved very quickly! Phanpy and Eevee reached Ordinary Peak and Ordinary Late-stage respectively!An unexpected surprise was that Phanpy actually learned Iron Head while watching Pikachu and the others train. This way, Phanpy would have an advantage when dealing with Ice-type Pokémon!As time passed, the outline of the Hoenn region became visible, and its scenery gradually became clearer!Hoenn has a diverse range of natural environments, from tropical rainforests to deserts, but its most striking feature is its vast waters.The area of these waters is almost equal to the landmass, forming a huge contrast with other regions. Islands of various sizes are scattered around the mainland, reachable only by water. In some areas, one can even dive underwater.Hoenn's vegetation and climate show that it is much warmer than other continents. Its interior is enveloped by mountains and forests, with major cities located in coastal areas.Hoenn has two volcanoes: one active and one dormant. The active volcano, Mt. Chimney, continues to drift volcanic Ash, causing the mountain and the roads at its foot to be covered in a different color. In contrast to Mt. Chimney is the dormant submarine volcano.————A Certain City————"Mom, Dad! I'm heading out!""Be careful on the road!""Got it!" A young girl wearing a red bandana was riding a bicycle and saying goodbye to her parents!To be continued...
Chapter 4: Novice May, Hoenn StartersLittleroot Town, known as the town that hasn't been dyed by any color! Although it is small, it is just as famous in the Hoenn region as Pallet Town because it houses Professor Birch's laboratory!———— Littleroot Town Port ————A few Wingull flew across the sky!Ash, who had been sailing on the sea for several days, finally got off the boat at the port of Littleroot Town!"Finally arrived, Hoenn region! The air here is so fresh!" Ash said to Pikachu on his shoulder."Pikachu~" Pikachu nodded.Very good, goal: win the Ever Grande Conference! Ash was very excited inside!"Let's go, Pikachu! We'll go visit Professor Birch first!" "Pika~"Afterward, Ash followed the road signs along the forest path and arrived at Professor Birch's laboratory."Hello! I am Ash from Pallet Town! Is anyone there?" "Pikapika~" Ash knocked on the door!Click~ The person who came out was not Professor Birch, but his assistant."Oh! Welcome to the Hoenn region, Ash. Professor Birch has already told me about your arrival! I am truly sorry, Professor Birch just went to the back mountain for field research! Why don't you wait here for the Professor to return!" the assistant welcomed him."No need! I'll go find the Professor. It's a good chance to see the Pokémon of Hoenn!" After saying that, Ash ran toward the back mountain."Young people these days are really impatient." The assistant shook his head.Ash brought Pikachu to the back mountain and started wandering around.Just then, a voice came, "Any one of them will do, just take the Pokémon out!""That must be Professor Birch's voice! Let's go! Pikachu!" After saying that, he ran toward the direction of the voice."Ah?! Okay, come out!" Another girl's voice came out."And then? What should I do next?""Hurry up and use a move!""What move?""Please shout Water Gun!""Water Gun."Mudkip sprayed a jet of water, spraying it onto the girl's face.Ash happened to arrive and saw this scene; if nothing went wrong, this girl was May.Ash, Pikachu, and Professor Birch were all speechless."Ah?! How did it turn out like this!!" May shouted."Pikachu, use Thunderbolt on the Poochyena!" Ashsaid, looking at Professor Birch who was hanging on a tree because of three Poochyena."Pika~ chu~" Golden electricity flashed, directly dispersing the Poochyena."Phew! Saved!" Professor Birch breathed a sigh of relief; he was truly exhausted!"Eh?! Who are you?" Professor Birch climbed down from the tree and looked at Ash in confusion."I am Ash from Pallet Town, and this is my partner Pikachu!" "Pikachu~""Oh! You are Ash! Thank you so much! I didn't expect you to come so quickly! Let's go, let's go back to the laboratory first!" Professor Birch smiled, then looked at May, "And you, May, sorry for the trouble. It hasn't been long since I last saw you, and you've become as beautiful as your mother!""No, I didn't help much!" May hurriedly waved her hands."You are here to choose your starter Pokémon, right! Have you decided which one yet?""Ah?! That... not yet!" May lowered her head, her two fingers continuously tapping.The three of them walked together toward the laboratory!"Hello! I am May from Petalburg City!" May came to Ash's side and introduced herself."Ah! Hello..." Ash hadn't finished speaking."Wahahaha!" Just then, a burst of laughter interrupted Ash, a mechanical arm rushed out, and at the same time, a giant robot that looked like a battery appeared in front of them!"Who are you guys?!" Professor Birch and Mayasked at the same time."Since you asked with such sincerity.""Then I shall grant you an answer.""It's you guys again, Team Rockets, you really are like ghosts that won't go away! Come out! Pidgeot, use Brave Bird! Pikachu, use Iron Tail to break the mechanical arm, then use Volt Tackle!""Pika~" Pikachu used Iron Tail to break the mechanical arm, then launched a Volt Tackle and rushed up together with Pidgeot!Boom! The robot exploded, and as a result, it accidentally hit May's bicycle. Just like that, the bicycle killer completed its second kill!"Hey, wait! Satoshi, you don't play by the rules, we haven't finished our lines yet!" "That's right! Meowth, I haven't said a word yet!" "Wobbuffet~" "What an annoying feeling~"Professor Birch and May hadn't reacted yet, and the fight was already over!"Ah! My bicycle! T^T" May began to cry bitterly."Ah! I'm sorry! I will compensate you." "Pikapika~" Recalling Pidgeot, Ash and Pikachu apologized quickly."Forget it, you didn't mean to. But who is Team Rockets? And can that Meowth speak human language?" May was sad for a while, then waved her hand and asked curiously.Professor Birch also leaned in, also very curious. He knew Team Rockets was a dark organization in the Kanto region, but Meowth speaking human language was truly curious!"Team Rockets are bad guys who steal other people's Pokémon! As for why Meowth can speak human language, it seems like Meowth learned it by itself!" Ash explained."That's so awful! They actually steal other people's Pokémon.""Alright! May, it's time for you to choose your starter Pokémon!" After hearing about Meowth, Professor Birch spoke up.Afterward, he led the two into the laboratory!"Alright! May, start choosing your starter Pokémon!" Professor Birch took out three Poké Balls from his backpack."Mm!""Alright! This contains the beginner Pokémon—the first one, Treecko!"What appeared was a green lizard with large yellow eyes!But when Treecko looked at May, it immediately gave her a start, and she retreated repeatedly, "It's glaring at me!"Uh! Is there a possibility it's just looking at you! Ashcomplained in his heart."Then the second one—Mudkip!""But, Mudkip doesn't really listen to me!" May took another step back and shook her head quickly.It's clearly your command that's the problem."Then, this is the last one—Torchic!"It was the initial form of the Blaziken that defeated Old Spray—Torchic!!Torchic, with three tufts of hair on its head, seemed to like May very much, running directly to May's feet and rubbing against her legs!"So cute! Okay! I choose you, Torchic!" May picked up Torchic and said happily."Chamo~ Chamo~""Here, this is the Pokédex and six empty Poké Balls, good luck! You can definitely become a Pokémon Trainer who surpasses your father!" Professor Birch saw that May had made her choice, handed the items over, and encouraged her."Then let's do our best together!" Ash smiled.May put on a brave face and said: "Yes!""That's what I said, but actually I don't really want to be a Trainer!" May muttered in a low voice."Eh, what did you just say?""Ah! Nothing, haha, I will work hard!"Just as Ash was about to get up and say goodbye, Professor Birch said: "You two need to go to the Pokémon Center to register if you want to participate in the Hoenn League! The nearest Pokémon Center is in Guchen Town. If you leave now, you should be able to arrive by evening!""I understand, thank you, Professor!" Ash thanked him."Sigh~ Thinking about walking there makes me a bit uneasy. If only I had a bicycle!" May sighed.Hearing this, Ash's mouth twitched, and he quickly said: "Why don't we travel together! We can look out for each other!""Yay!" May jumped up happily!"Pikapika~" Pikachu scratched the back of its head awkwardly.Ash also knew this wasn't Pikachu's fault; it was fate! Ash still liked this heroine of the Advanced Generation very much, and traveling with such a cute girl would be lively, right!"Good! You two can look out for each other, do your best! Have a pleasant trip, and be careful on the way!""Understood! Thank you, Professor Birch! Then we're off!"The two waved their hands and turned to leave!To be continued...
Chapter 5: Rookie May's First Capture ExperienceIn order to register for the Hoenn League, Ash and May were currently heading towards Guchen Town.Ash knew that as a rookie Trainer and a girl, May's physical stamina wasn't that great; after all, not everyone had a Super Pallet Town physique! Ashdecided to release Eevee and Phanpy to do some physical training while they moved forward!"Come on out! Eevee, Phanpy!" "Eevee~" "Phanpy~"After Eevee came out, it held its head high and looked at Ash proudly, while Phanpy excitedly circled around him!"Wow! Are these two also Ash's Pokemon? They're so cute!!" (✧∇✧) May looked at the two little ones with eyes shining, taking out her Pokédex to scan them:Eevee...Phanpy..."Of course! Eevee, Phanpy, you guys walk along with us as physical training!" Ash took out two Macho Braces from his backpack and put them on them."Is it time for training? Great! Come on out, Torchic!" "Chamo~"After Torchic came out, it looked left and right, finding no enemies (՞•Ꙫ•՞)ﾉ????"Alright, Torchic, you follow us as training too!" "Chamo~"[Torchic][Gender: Male][Ability: Blaze][Strength: Ordinary Initial Stage][Tera Type: Fire][Moves: Ember, Peck, Glare]The two of them, with their four Pokemon, advanced through the forest toward Guchen Town.Along the way, May asked Ash about his previous travels, and Ash patiently told her everything!"Wow! So Ash's previous companions were all Gym Leaders! That's amazing! And so many interesting things happened during the journey; traveling really is the best!" (✧∇✧) May's eyes sparkled as she spoke happily.———— One hour later ————At this moment, a cute Azurill appeared before them. May exclaimed, "Wow! So cute! I want it! Go, Torchic, use Peck!"At the same time, she took out her Pokédex to scan it:Azurill...Fortunately, Ash had taught her many essential Pokemon common sense facts along the way, otherwise she would have thrown a ball like in the original story![Azurill][Strength: Ordinary Middle Stage]Torchic ran quickly and pecked at Azurill.Bang! "Azu~" Azurill was knocked back by the peck and glared at Torchic before firing a Water Gun!"Quick, dodge it! Torchic!"Unfortunately, it was a step too late, and Torchicwas hit by the Water Gun."Are you okay? Torchic!" "Chamo~" Torchic shook its head and cried out.At that moment, Azurill jumped into the grass. Mayhurriedly said, "Hey, wait! Don't run! Torchic, rush over and use Peck!""Chamo~" Just then, three Water Guns shot out from the grass and hit Torchic. It was super effective, and Torchic lost its ability to battle!Then Azurill, Marill, and Azumarill jumped out, looking angrily at Ash and the others!"Ah! Torchic!" May exclaimed.Ash took out a bottle of Potion and handed it to May, "May, this is a Potion. Use it on Torchic quickly, and then recall it.""Go! Eevee, use Shadow Ball! Phanpy, use Rollout!" Ash sent his two Pokemon into battle."Ah?! Oh, thank you!" May hurriedly used the Potionon Torchic and then recalled it into its Poké Ball.Eventually, the Azumarill family was driven back into the river by Eevee and Phanpy!"Ah! Torchic, it's all my fault!" (っ╥╯﹏╰╥c) Maywas still staring at the Poké Ball, blaming herself sadly."Alright! May, don't blame yourself! As a rookie, you've already done very well! I wasn't even this good back then! Besides, you've given it medicine; now let's hurry to the Pokémon Center to have Torchic checked out!" Ash patted May on the shoulder to comfort her."Pika-pi~" Pikachu also made a sound of comfort."Mhm! Okay! Torchic will be fine!" May wiped away her tears with her arm and ran toward the Pokémon Center in Guchen Town!"Hey?! Wait for me! May!" Ash recalled Phanpy, while Eevee jumped onto Ash's other shoulder, and he quickly gave chase.———— At Dusk ————Ahead of Ash and May, a place appeared with a building surrounded by high stones!"Wow! It looks very ancient!" "This should be a ruin!"Just then, an archaeologist walked out of the building."That's right! This is indeed an ancient ruin. Hello! My name is Mayz, and I'm conducting an investigation here!""Ah! Hello, my name is May!""Hello! My name is Ash, and this is my partner, Pikachu!" "Pika~""By the way, are you going somewhere in such a hurry?" Mayz asked curiously."We're heading to the Pokémon Center; my companion's Pokemon is injured!" Ash replied."Oh! I see! Look, the Pokémon Center is right there!" Mayz pointed downward.Ash and May looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, the Pokémon Center was right in front of them."Thank you for your Helping Hand!" "Pika~"Subsequently, Ash and May arrived at the Pokémon Center, and May handed Torchic's Poké Ball to Nurse Joy.Because they were worried about Torchic's condition, Ash and May had been rushing the whole way and hadn't had time to take off Eevee and Phanpy's Macho Braces. Now that they had reached the Pokémon Center and could finally relax, Ashtook them off!"Nurse Joy, I'm counting on you for my Torchic," Maysaid."No problem! Leave it in my care!" Nurse Joy said with a smile."So, how is it doing?""Please wait a moment."Nurse Joy began to check Torchic's condition with medical equipment."It's already fine. As long as it gets a good night's rest, it will recover!""Whew! That's wonderful." (＾▽＾) May breathed a sigh of relief and smiled."Now you can relax, May!" "Pika~" Ash walked over and handed his Poké Balls to Nurse Joy to check his Pokemon.Nurse Joy took them and handed the Poké Balls to Chansey for inspection."Mhm! Thank you, Ash! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known what to do!" May said gratefully."It's nothing! After all, we're companions!" Ashwaved his hand and then said to Nurse Joy, "Ah! By the way, Nurse Joy, I want to participate in the Hoenn Alliance Conference; please help me register."Ash took out his Pokédex, and Nurse Joy smiled as she took it and placed it into a slot. Ash's information appeared on the computer.Since May hadn't made up her mind yet, she didn't register."Alright, registration is complete.""Thank you, Nurse Joy.""The check-up is finished, Mr. Ash. Your Pokemonare all very healthy!" Then, Nurse Joy handed Pikachu and the Poké Balls back to Ash."Pika~" Pikachu jumped into Ash's arms happily."Let's go, May! It's getting late! Let's go make a phone call home first so our families don't worry, and then go to the restaurant for dinner!" Ash said, holding Pikachu."Ah! Okay, this is my first time at a Pokémon Center. Ash, you lead the way!" May nodded.Ash took May to the telephone area, and the two separated to call their respective homes.Ash first called his mother, Delia, to let her know he was safe, and then he dialed Professor Oaks Laboratory."Good evening! Professor Oak, I have arrived in Guchen Town now.""Is that so? That's great. You look quite well too! Pikachu too!" Professor Oak nodded with a smile."Pika~""Mhm! Registration for the Hoenn League is also complete. I can already go to challenge the first Gymin the Hoenn region.""That's excellent! A new adventure is finally about to begin, right?""Ah! It's the Professor Oak you can only see on TV." ԅ(✧_✧ԅ) At this time, May, who had finished her call home, saw that the person Ash was talking to was Professor Oak and interjected excitedly."Hmm?" (՞•Ꙫ•՞)ﾉ???? Professor Oak was very puzzled.May pushed Ash aside and came to the phone, "Hello, Professor Oak! My name is May!""Hello, Miss May. I am Professor Oak from Pallet Town." Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, Professor Oak smiled.May leaned her face right up to the screen, (✧∇✧) "I know! I often listen to Professor Oak's lecture broadcasts with my younger brother. If my brother knew I had spoken to Professor Oak, he would definitely be dying of envy!""Is... is that so?""I've just become a Pokemon Trainer and haven't been out traveling for long. Please give me your guidance."Professor Oak was made to break out in a sweat by May's enthusiasm (•́ω•̀ ٥), "Mhm! It seems Ash has quickly made a lively new friend. Ash, you two should work hard and have a good journey! If there's nothing else, let's hang up for now!""Yes! Goodbye, Professor Oak!" "Pika Pika~"As soon as the words were spoken, Professor Oakimmediately hung up the phone.Ash shook his head helplessly at the sight and said to May, "Alright, then let's go eat!""Mhm!"——————————And at this very moment, the Team Rocket Trio was squeezed into a tiny telephone booth.To be continued...New author, new book, please add to your collection!!
Chapter 6: First Clash with Team Magma"What? Hoenn region?" Giovanni was dumbfounded when he heard the Team Rocket Trio had run off to the Hoenn region! You have to understand, Team Rockets hadn't even extended their reach to that place yet!"Yes! To present that rare Pikachu to Boss Giovanni, we chased it all the way to the Hoenn region!" Jessie said fawningly."We have been working hard for Team Rocketssingle-mindedly, meow~"Giovanni was not interested in the Pikachu they mentioned at all. No matter how special it was, it was still just a yellow rat. After all, those yellow rats could be caught by the handful in Viridian Forest!"So, you went through all the trouble to call me. Do you have any good news to tell me?" Giovanni said impatiently on the other end of the line."Uh..." The Team Rocket Trio was speechless for a moment."Actually... we can't even afford today's food expenses, so..." James said cautiously."No!" Giovanni interrupted immediately, refusing directly. "I will absolutely not send supplies over.""Sigh~" The Team Rocket Trio sighed helplessly."However, I can give you a great opportunity. Team Rockets doesn't have a base in the Hoenn region yet, so you should work hard in Hoenn! Make a name for our Team Rockets. I look forward to your performance!" Giovanni suddenly started painting a big picture."Thank you, Boss! Thank you, Boss!" The Team Rocket Trio was very excited by this promise and decided to show their skills."That's great, Boss Giovanni gave us a direct order!" Jessie said, moved."In other words, we are the leaders of the Hoennregion!" James imagined a beautiful future."In that case, aren't we the branch managers of the Hoenn region, meow~" Meowth covered his mouth in disbelief.At this moment, in the secret base of Team Rockets, Giovanni stroked his Persian and thought to himself: "Hmph! Getting intelligence on Team Magma and Team Aqua in the Hoenn region through these three idiots is a huge gain! Hahaha!"———— Pokémon Center ————Ash brought May to the restaurant to eat delicious food!"Mmm~ So delicious! I didn't expect the food at the Pokémon Center to be so tasty, and it's free! That's awesome!" May took a bite of rice and enjoyed it.Then she immediately turned into a foodie and started eating big mouthfuls."Of course! This is a transit station for Trainers to rest. As long as you have a Pokédex, it's free! And this hall is a great place to exchange information!" Ash replied, looking at Pikachu, who was hugging ketchup and eating with gusto."Wow, people here will tell you information about shopping, hot springs, gourmet food, and so on nearby.""Uh~ limited to Pokémon information! Listen~""Do you know? I heard a new Gym Leader has arrived at the Petalburg Gym.""Petalburg Gym.""Yes!""Uh~" May heard them discussing her father's Gym."Hi, you two, you arrived here safely." At this time, Mayz came to them."Ah! Mr. Mayz, hello!" Ash and May greeted Mayz.After some pleasantries, Mayz took the two to his studio, where a painting of the Oldale Town Ruinswas hanging on the wall.The three of them started chatting about ancient ruins and ancient Pokémon, and then Mayz took out a stone slab."This describes the method to enter the stone chamber, but so far no one has found those four keys.""What a pity!"Suddenly, all the lights went out, the door was opened, and three people wearing red uniforms with Houndoom walked in."Ah!" May hugged Ash in fear."Who... who are you?" Mayz asked nervously."Professor Mayz, I would like to trouble you to come with us to the Oldale Town Ruins." The leader of Team Magma said.[Houndoom] [Strength: Mid-Gym] [Strength: Late-Gym] [Strength: Mid-Gym]"Hmph! Want to take Mr. Mayz away? Did you ask me? If I'm not mistaken, you are members of Team Magma, one of the dark organizations in Hoenn, right! Come out, Pidgeot!" Ash said.At the same time, May hid behind Ash. Now she didn't have a Pokémon to protect herself!"Pidge~" "Pika~" Pikachu also rushed up. Ash did not send out Eevee and Phanpy, after all, the strength gap was too big!"Hmph! Brat, do you want to die? Houndoom, use Flamethrower!"Three orange flames rushed towards Ash!"Pikachu, Pidgeot, dodge! Pikachu, use Thunderbolton them! Pidgeot, dive down and use Giga Impacton the middle Houndoom!"Pikachu and Pidgeot dodged the flames and launched an attack!"Bad! Quick, Houndoom, use Smokescreen! And scatter!" The Team Magma members felt the Auraon Pikachu and the others, which was stronger than the Houndooms' Aura, and quickly ordered."Pika~" "Pidge~" Pikachu and Pidgeot looked around. The vision was already affected by the power outage and lack of light, and now there was smoke, so they couldn't see clearly!"Haha! Go, Houndoom, use Fire Fang!""Pika~" "Pidge~" As canine Pokémon, they were uniquely gifted in the smoke, and their sneak attacks were very accurate!"Hmph, don't think I have no way to deal with this! Pidgeot, use Hurricane! Pikachu, seize the opportunity and use Thunder to give them a fatal blow!" Ash commanded calmly."Pidge~" Pidgeot flapped its wings to blow away the smoke, and the figures of the three Houndooms gradually emerged!Ash said quickly, "Quick, take this chance! Pikachu, go!" "Pika~""Awoo~" Thunder hit directly, and the Houndooms lost their ability to fight!"Damn! Brat, you dare to ruin our Team Magma's plans. Team Magma will not let you go!" The Team Magma members abandoned the Houndooms and prepared to run away."Still want to run! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" "Pika~chu~""Ah~ Damn!" Then the three Team Magmamembers were tied up by Ash, and they would hand them over to Officer Jenny later!"Thank you so much, Trainer!" Nurse Joy came out. She originally intended to tell Mayz about the power outage, but when she heard the fighting, she quickly hid!"Ah! As expected of you, Ash! So amazing!" May, who was hiding behind Ash, also looked at Ash with admiring eyes.[Ding~ Task completed — First defeat of Team Magma! Reward: Awaken Aura]"What?! Aura! Hahaha, great! System, pull up my information template!" Ash cheered inwardly.[Host: Ash] [Physique: Super Newcomer] [Ability: Aura] [Pokémon: Pikachu, Pidgeot, Bulbasaur, Charizard...]Not long after, Officer Jenny arrived! She arrested the three Team Magma members and handed the four gems found on them to Ash!And took this opportunity to round up all the Team Magma members lurking in the Oldale Town Ruins! Of course, the real protagonists, the Team Rocket Trio lurking here, were not caught but secretly left!"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Ash! These four gems should be the reason why they wanted to capture Professor Mayz. Please, Mr. Ash!" Officer Jenny saluted Ash and said."Okay! I know!" Ash replied and handed the gems to Mayz."This... this is the key!" Mayz said in surprise.The next morning, May went to the front desk to get back Torchic's Poké Ball.After breakfast, the group went to the ruins. Mayzused the gems to open the gate of the ruins. Inside, many ancient Pokémon were carved. Finally, under the guidance of the illuminated gems, they found a secret passage and found the ancient Pokémon living in the underground water veins in the secret passage — Relicanth!!Professor Mayz immediately decided to apply to the League for the Oldale Town Ruins to become a protected area to protect the lives of the Relicanths.And Ash and May embarked on the road to Petalburg City.To be continued...Newcomer's new book, please support it!!
Chapter 7: Petalburg City, Norman's FamilyAsh and May head towards the location of the first Gym in the Hoenn region—Petalburg City!!Along the way, Ash continuously uses his Aura to scout the path and sense the Aura of wild Pokemonto improve his mastery over his power!After a night and a day of practice, while Ash hasn't reached the level of forming an Aura Sphere by hand, he can now scout routes and sense the unique Auras of Pokemon!"So this is Petalburg City! Let's go, Pikachu! May, hurry up!" "Pika~" Ash and Pikachu ran into Petalburg City."Ah! Ash, wait for me! There's no need to be in such a hurry!" May shouted from behind, speechless."Ash... are we really going to challenge the Petalburg Gym?" May asked cautiously."Of course! To participate in the Hoenn League, you must have the eight badges! So as long as we win at the Petalburg Gym, I can get my first badge! By the way, May, aren't you a local? Do you know where the Petalburg Gym is?" Ash knew May was the daughter of the Petalburg Gym Leader and spoke to her in a teasing tone."Uh... actually, I'm not that familiar with it. Oh, I just remembered I have something to do, I'll go first, see you later!" - =ﾍ( ´Д`)ﾉ May fled awkwardly."She's definitely suspicious! Right, Pikachu?" "Pika~""She's not going to be like Misty, is she? She's acting exactly like Misty did back then!" "Pika~ Pika~""Let's go! We'll find out once we check out the Petalburg Gym!" "Pika~"Ash brought Pikachu to the entrance of the Petalburg Gym. Looking at this guesthouse-like building hanging a League Gym sign, if it weren't for the sign, Ash wouldn't have believed this was actually the Petalburg Gym. Ash stepped forward and knocked on the door."Excuse me? Is anyone home? I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and I'm here for a Gym challenge!"Click! The door opened."You're so noisy! I'm right in the middle of watching the Silver Conference tapes!" A boy wearing green clothes and glasses, holding a book, rubbed his eyes as he walked up to Ash.He was May's younger brother, the second child of Norman and his wife—Max."Ah! I'm so sorry!""Ah! You... you're, you're the competitor who just finished the Silver Conference! Except you were defeated in the second round! Your name is Satoru, right?" Max first looked at Ash with excitement mixed with disdain, then crossed his arms and said, "You were defeated by that Blaziken back then! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have been beaten!""...It's Ash." Ash rolled his eyes, replying speechlessly to this fellow who only knew how to talk a big game.At that moment, Max saw the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder and became excited again. He actually reached out to hug Pikachu directly, rubbing his face against it. "Wow! This Pikachu is so great! Hello there, I'm Max.""Pika~ chu~" "Aaah~"Pikachu wasn't used to being hugged by strangers, let alone having someone rub their face on him. He didn't hold back at all and unleashed a Thunderbolt, shocking Max until he collapsed. Pikachu then broke free from Max's embrace and scurried back onto Ash's shoulder!"You're here to challenge the Gym, right? I am the Petalburg Gym Leader!" Max immediately stood up, hands on his hips, puffing out his chest."You? You're probably not even a Trainer yet, let alone a Gym Leader." Ash looked him up and down with a look of disdain."What did you say!" ヽ(｀д´)ノ Max's hair stood on end in anger."Max, what are you doing?" Just then, May heard the commotion and poked her head out of the window."Ah! Big sister, it's him! He's here to challenge the Gym!" Before Ash could explain, Max spoke up directly....(￢_￢) While that's technically true, calling it 'kicking the Gym' is so crude! We civilized people call it a Gym Challenge, okay!"Hi! May, we meet again! You really are from the Petalburg Gym.""Ah! Haha! Ash, you got here so fast, but how did you know..." (/(°∞°)\) May played dumb."Remember what I told you about my former companion Misty? Back then, when I went to the Cerulean Gym, she was just like this." Ashexplained. Besides, he knew the plot, and having awakened his Aura, he could sense May was here."Ah! Is that so?!" May walked out awkwardly."Eh, big sister, do you know him?" Max asked at this time."Yes, I traveled here together with Ash."Just then, a couple walked in from outside."Hi, welcome!" they said, then invited Ash inside to sit down and talk."Let me introduce you, these are my mom and dad. And this is my younger brother Max." May acted as the intermediary and started the introductions."Hello! My name is Norman.""Hello! My name is Caroline.""Dad, Mom, this is Ash, who traveled with me to Petalburg City. He's here to challenge the Gym. Dad, Ash is really strong; he even defeated Team Rockets and Team Magma!" May continued."Hello! I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and this is my partner Pikachu!" "Pikachu~""Oh! Defeating Team Rockets and Team Magma is truly impressive!" Norman said in surprise."Thank you so much for bringing May back! Otherwise, this child would have been in danger!" Caroline said."Not at all, it was just good luck, and I couldn't just stand by and watch!""By the way, May, where is your bicycle?" Carolineturned to look at May."Uh... actually the bicycle was..." Ash stepped in to explain the situation first."Pika~" Pikachu scratched his head sheepishly."I'm sorry, I will compensate you for the bicycle." Ash and Pikachu stood up and bowed in apology."It's alright, accidents happen during travels! Don't worry about it! Besides, it's better to travel on foot anyway!" Norman said dismissively."That's right! Traveling on foot is better for your health! It's just a bicycle!" Caroline also said politely."That's great! Thank you!" Ash breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that. "Pika~" Pikachu also followed suit and thanked them."By the way, May, what Pokemon did you get from Professor Birch?" Norman looked at May with a smile."Yeah! Big sister, what Pokemon did you get?" (✧∇✧) Max looked at his sister May with eyes full of anticipation and envy.It had to be said that although Max was quite annoying, his love for Pokemon was not inferior to Ash's at all!"This is it, come on out, Torchic!" "Chamo~""Ah! You picked Torchic! I think Treecko is way better than that!" Max's face was written with disappointment, and then he looked at Torchic with disdain."Chamo~" (•́へ•́ ╬) Hearing this, Torchic got very angry and immediately used Peck on Max's butt."Ah~ Stop it! Torchic!" Max was chased all around the yard by Torchic."Choosing Torchic as your first Pokemon, you have good taste." "Yes, it's quite cute.""See, I told you." (*๓´╰╯`๓)♡ May was very happy to receive her parents' approval."So cool! I want to have a Pokemon too, but preferably a Treecko." Max started courting death again, and the Torchic that had just stopped charged at him again without hesitation."It hurts! Stop, stop pecking me!"Seeing this, the others shook their heads and stopped paying attention to Max, letting them play around."Ash, would you like to have lunch with us?""Yes! Ash, it's already noon, let's have lunch before the Gym match!"Norman and his wife warmly invited Ash to stay for lunch!"Sure! Thank you, Uncle and Auntie."Ash then ate lunch at Norman's house, and the group chatted at the dining table while eating!"Ash, have you been traveling all this time?" Caroline asked."Yes, I've already traveled through the Kanto Region, the Orange Archipelago, and the Johto region. Now, I'm going to travel through the Hoenn region." Ashreplied after taking a bite of a sandwich."So cool, so cool, so you've traveled to so many places." Max looked at Ash with a face full of envy."Traveling alone is truly remarkable." Carolinesighed with emotion."Actually, I only traveled alone at the very beginning. Later, I traveled with friends I made, and I have Pikachu and the others to accompany me!" Ashsmiled."That's right, when traveling abroad, it's best to have a companion." Norman nodded in agreement."Yes, it makes things very lively and the journey very interesting.""So great! Being able to travel with friends, I'm so jealous!" Max ran up to Ash and looked at him enviously.————————————"Ash, the rules for the Petalburg Gym match are three-on-three. That should be fine, right?""No problem! I'm ready!"To be continued...Newcomer's new book, please support with recommendations!!
Chapter 8: Team Rockets' Sabotage, First Battle Against NormanJust as Norman was about to take Ash to the battlefield, the wall suddenly exploded!!"Ah! What happened?!" Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ May exclaimed as she looked at the shattered wall."Wahahaha!... (Team Rockets' opening monologue)"Ah! It's you guys, and that talking Meowth!" ╭(°A°`)╮ May shouted, pointing at Team Rockets."Ah! So you're May's friends. Thank you for taking care of our May." Caroline spoke politely.(•́⍛•̀; ≡ •́⍛•̀;) With one sentence, everyone fell silent!!!Ma'am, even if we don't mention they are Team Rockets, they just demolished your house! How could they be friends! Ash grumbled in his heart."Ah! Mom, they aren't my friends, they are villains who steal other people's Pokémon!" Seeing her mother's misunderstanding, May hurriedly explained."Exactly! They just tore down our wall! How could they be my sister's friends?" Max also said from the side."Hey! Hey! What May's friends? We are the famous Team Rockets, how could we be that little brat's friends!" Jessie shouted angrily."I choose you! Pikachu!" "Pika~" Ash didn't waste any words and directly sent out his Pokémon."Hmph! No matter what, we're taking Pikachu. Go, Arbok!""Go! Weezing, use Smokescreen!"Weezing spat out black smoke, and their vision was instantly obscured!"Everyone, be careful!" Norman couldn't help but shout."Ahahaha! Arbok, Poison Needle!" "Weezing, Sludge attack!"The Aura is with me! Ash expanded his Aura, successfully detecting Team Rockets' position and judging the direction of the attacks!"Pikachu, on your right! Dodge it! Come out, Pidgeot! Use Hurricane!" Ash shouted."Pika~" Pikachu ran to the left.Boom——!!"Pikachu, are you okay?" Ash asked."Pika~" Pikachu responded, indicating he was fine."Pidgeot~" At that moment, Pidgeot also blew away the smoke, and Team Rockets' figures were revealed!"What's going on? That Satoshi actually knew the direction of our attack?" Jessie wondered."It's truly a mystery, meow.""Go! Pikachu, Thunderbolt! Pidgeot, Hyper Beam." "Come out, Slaking, use Hyper Beam." Ash and Norman launched a counterattack together.Bang! Boom~"What a terrible feeling!" "Wobbuffet (˃ʍ˂)~""Sigh, the Gym is destroyed; I'm afraid it can't be used anymore. Ash, come back after the Gym has been renovated for a while!" Norman looked at the ruins before him and sighed helplessly."Alright! That's such a pity! But it's perfect; next time I'll bring the Pokémon I've newly captured in the Hoenn region to challenge you. Uncle Norman, can you have a training match with me?" Ash asked.[Slaking] [Strength: Early Pseudo-Elite]"As expected of Norman's Pokémon. I'm afraid this isn't Norman's ace Slaking; it doesn't even count as his second team. One must know that Norman is hailed as a candidate for the Elite Four." Ash thought to himself."No problem! Let's go, I'll take you to the place where my Pokémon train; that open space is large." After saying that, Norman led Ash to the training field."Uncle Norman, let's do a two-on-two! I have two Common-level Pokémon here. Please use one Superior-level Pokémon among yours." "Alright, no problem!""I choose you, Eevee!" "Eevee~"A proud Eevee appeared before everyone's eyes."Go! Slakoth! Ash, you take the first move!"[Slakoth][Strength: Peak Common][Moves: Yawn, Slack Off, Headbutt, Scratch, Zen Headbutt, Brick Break]"Good! Eevee, use Sand Attack first, then use Swift!" Ash wasn't polite and was the first to launch an attack."Eevee~" Eevee's hind legs kicked sand towards Slakoth, and then circling stars appeared on its tail, attacking towards Slakoth."Slakoth, take it, then use Brick Break!"Bang! "Slako~" After Slakoth took the attack, one hand flashed with white light and chopped towards Eevee!"Eevee, use Dig to dodge!" Eevee quickly dug into the ground. Bang! Slakoth hit the entrance of the hole, and then its ability activated, entering a loafing state!"Very good! Eevee, use our secret weapon — Mimic!" Eevee emerged from the hole, white light appeared on its front paws, and it struck Slakoth!"Oh no! Slakoth!" Fortunately, although Slakoth took double damage from the type disadvantage, it still managed to hold on!"Whew! That was close! Ash, I didn't expect to be caught off guard by you. Slakoth, use Slack Off!" Norman breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly had Slakoth recover its stamina."Slako~" Slakoth lay down and began to Slack Off, its stamina starting to recover!"I didn't expect it to hold on, but! Eevee, use Double Kick!!" Ash shouted."Eevee~" Eevee appeared in front of Slakoth and used its hind legs to kick twice in succession, sending it flying!Slakoth fell to the ground and was unable to continue the battle!"Hmm?! Is the power that high?" Ash thought in confusion. One must know that there was a level difference; even with a type advantage, it shouldn't have been a one-hit kill."Eevee~" Eevee looked proudly at the fallen Slakoth![Eevee][Strength: Peak Common][Moves: Mimic, Swift...]It broke through. No wonder it defeated Slakoth! It must be said that Eevee's talent is very strong; its strength improves and it learns skills very quickly."Come back! Eevee!" "Eevee~" Eevee shook its head, indicating refusal."Uh! Alright! You come and watch from the sidelines then!""Eevee~" Eevee happily ran to Ash's side and stood with Pikachu outside the field, ready to watch the match."Hahaha! Ash, you've hidden yourself quite well!" Norman laughed."Ah! Dad actually lost!" (⋟﹏⋞) Max said dejectedly."It's okay! Victory and defeat are common in battle! Then for the second round, go! Kecleon!"[Kecleon][Ability: Color Change (Its own type will change to the type of the move it was hit by)][Strength: Mid Superior][Moves: Thief, Disable...]Hiss! This will be hard to fight! This isn't just a normal level gap, it's a gap between major tiers!"Come out, Phanpy! Use Rollout!" "Phan~" Phanpyrolled into a ball and charged towards Kecleon."Kecleon, use camouflage to dodge and use Grass Knot!" Norman knew that Kecleon's ability was Color Change; it absolutely could not be hit, otherwise, it would have to take double damage again!Kecleon concealed its form and used Grass Knotagainst the charging Phanpy."Phan~" Phanpy was tripped by the Grass Knot and fell to the ground."Good opportunity! Use Slash!" Norman shouted.Kecleon rushed towards Phanpy, white light emerging from its hand-blade, and slashed at Phanpy!"Oh no! Phanpy, quickly avoid it, use Dig!" Ashshouted loudly.At the critical moment, Phanpy successfully used Dig to dodge the attack."Kecleon, pay attention to your surroundings!" Norman also stared at the surroundings to prevent a sneak attack from Phanpy!"Come out! Phanpy, Iron Head attack!""Substitute, Disable!" Norman spoke unhurriedly.Kecleon produced a Substitute and emitted a light towards the direction of the Substitute.While Phanpy used Iron Head to disperse the Substitute, it was hit by Disable, and Iron Head was disabled."What?! Be careful, Phanpy!" Ash said in surprise."Go! The final blow, Slash!"Bang! Everyone watched without blinking. "Phan~" A shield was seen protecting Phanpy!"This is?! Protect! Phanpy, it's great that you're okay!" "Phan~" Phanpy replied with a smile."Good, use Stomp!" "Phan~" Phanpy stomped its front legs heavily on the ground, sending out a ground wave to attack Kecleon!"Haha! Truly full of surprises and accidents! But Ash, can you withstand this move? Kecleon, hold on, use Sunny Day first, then use Solar Beam!" Normandidn't want to drag it out anymore and directly used his ultimate move.Kecleon directly endured the attack. At the same time, it sent a beam of light into the sky, and the field became hot and dry. Then it absorbed sunlight and condensed it into a Solar Beam to attack!"Phanpy, use Protect!" "Phan~" However, the Goddess of Luck was not on Ash's side, and Protectfailed!"Phan~" Phanpy fell to the ground and was unable to continue the battle!"Ash, you are already very impressive! To challenge across a major tier and hold on for so long, the younger generation is truly to be feared!" Normanlaughed softly."Not at all! It was just good luck!""Luck is also a part of strength! You don't need to be modest!""Great! Dad won!" ヾ(´∀｀.ヾ) Max shouted happily."Max!! I told you long ago that victory and defeat are common in battle, don't care so much about winning or losing! Besides, it's just a training match. If you only care about winning or losing, what is the meaning of training?" Norman began to lecture Max."Ah?! But..." Max was quite unwilling."There are no buts, think about it yourself!""Ash! I look forward to your next challenge!" Norman turned his head and said to Ash."Alright! Thank you for the guidance, Uncle! Next time I come, I will be even stronger!" Ash replied firmly.———— The Next Day ————In the early morning, as the sun first rose, four figures appeared outside the Petalburg Gym!To be continued...
Chapter 9: Setting Off Again, Catching the BUG Taillow"Finally ready to set off. May, did you forget to pack anything?" Caroline asked, looking at May with concern."I'm all good!" May patted her chest in assurance.May decided to travel with Ash, and Norman and Caroline expressed their support."Wait for me! May doesn't know anything about Pokémon, so I have to go with them too. Besides, I understand what Dad said now; I want to go out and see the world!" Just then, Max ran out with his backpack on his back."Hmm, letting Max go out and walk around is good, he can broaden his horizons! Plus, Max is very knowledgeable about Pokémon, so we can rest easy," Norman said after thinking for a moment."That's right!" Caroline agreed."Ash, I'm sorry to ask, but I hope you can take our Max along on your journey," Norman requested of Ash."No problem! After all, traveling is more lively and fun with more people!" Ash had long anticipated traveling with May and Max! Besides, having Maxalong meant there would be a tool to drag Brock away; otherwise, he'd have to do it himself whenever Brock started acting like a lovesick fool!"Alright! Max, you have to be obedient, okay?""Great! Please take care of me.""Then, take these as a gift." Norman took out two gray-blue boxes and handed them to Ash and Mayrespectively. "These are Badge Cases for collecting Gym Badges."Ash and May accepted the Badge Cases and thanked him."Also, take this with you too." Norman took out a small device!"Ah! This is..." Max's eyes lit up as he snatched the device."This is a Pokémon Navigator. With this, you'll be able to know your current location," Normanintroduced."I'll carry this one." Max put it away immediately."By the way, the closest Gym to here is in Rustboro City. You three can head there first," Norman said.The three said their goodbyes and set off toward the next Gym location, Rustboro City!"Great! The kids are all off on their journey, we can finally enjoy our time as a couple.""Indeed!"Watching the three walk away, Norman and Caroline discussed in hushed tones.After the awakening of his Aura, Ash's hearing was better than the average person's, and he barely managed to hear those two sentences. Ash's mouth twitched; as expected, parents are the true love, and children are just the accident!————Petalburg Woods————"That's strange, I can't see any Pokémon at all." Maxlooked around disappointedly through his binoculars."We're walking on a man-made mountain path. There are very few Pokémon here; they are only plentiful deep in the forest!" Ash explained helplessly."More importantly, I'm so hungry. Can we eat lunch first?" May was already tired and only thinking about resting and eating, so she asked Ash.Ash nodded. "Okay! Let's eat then! Let's let all the Pokémon out!"Afterward, he took out the pre-prepared bento boxes from his backpack, as well as Pokémon food, mixing in an appropriate amount of Energy Cube for nutrition and taste!Pikachu and the other Pokémon took their food and started eating.As for May and her brother..."What are you doing?" May and her brother didn't go to get their lunch, but instead stared fixedly at his bento. "Uh~ don't tell me you didn't prepare lunch?""This~ I thought my sister would have it prepared." Max scratched his head and said."I didn't expect this to happen, I just forgot." Maylooked at Ash with pitiful eyes."Sigh! These are the last two portions, here you go. If we can't find a Pokémon Center before dark, we're going to go hungry."Fortunately, Ash knew how unreliable this pair of siblings was and had prepared two extra portions. As for dinner, there was nothing to worry about; Brock should be arriving soon."Ah! Thank you, Ash! Ash is the best!" May and her brother started eating happily!"Eevee~" "Pika~ Pika~" Bang! Just then, there was a commotion from the Pokémon's side.The three turned to look; a swallow-like Pokémon was snatching the normal-type Energy Cube from Eevee's food.The proud Eevee naturally couldn't tolerate it and launched a Swift attack."What's this?" May took out her Pokédex and scanned: Taillow...It was the regional bird of the Hoenn region—Taillow, nicknamed the "BUG Taillow," truly possessing a backbone of steel.[Taillow] [Type: normal, Flying] [Ability: Guts (When suffering from a status condition other than fainting, Attack is increased by 50%, and the attack reduction from burn is ignored.)] [Strength: Superior Initial] [Moves: Quick Attack, Wing Attack, Double Team, Endure, Supersonic] [tera type: Flying]"Siba~" Taillow stood its ground against Eevee and the others, not showing any fear at all."Taillow, do you want to have a capture battle with me? If you lose, these Energy Cubes are yours!" Ashtook some Flying-type Energy Cubes from his backpack."Siba~" Seeing the Energy Cubes, Taillow nodded in agreement without hesitation."Go! Eevee, let's catch it!" "Eevee~" Eevee had already lost its patience and charged straight ahead.Whoosh! Taillow's wings glowed with white light as it attacked Eevee."Eevee, use Agility to dodge." Although Taillow had reached the Superior Initial level, a slight gap in strength, Eevee's strength was not lacking at all."Eevee~" Eevee dodged quickly."Eevee, Swift!" Eevee's tail flashed with stars, attacking Taillow.Back and forth, Eevee dodged flexibly, using moves to wear down Taillow. Taillow began to pant; clearly, its stamina was depleting rapidly."Very good! Eevee, give it the finishing blow!" Ashactivated the z-ring on his wrist.A finishing blow? Even if Taillow's stamina was low, it shouldn't be enough for Eevee to finish it in one hit. How could it be defeated in one hit? Max was very confused!Just then, Ash and Eevee performed the moves. "Go, Eevee, Extreme Evoboost!" "Eevee~"A huge white light burst from Eevee as it rushed toward Taillow."Siba~" "Go! Poké Ball!"The Poké Ball flashed with red light, Bang!Taillow burst out, standing on a rock, panting heavily."Very good! I like your backbone. Eevee, use one Swift!"Boom! It successfully broke the straw that broke the camel's back for Taillow! Ash threw the Poké Ballagain!This time, the Poké Ball wobbled three times, flashed three stars, and the capture was successful.Ash was glad that Taillow didn't have a Trainer; otherwise, Eevee defeating it probably wouldn't have been so easy—at the very least, it would have required paying a heavy price!"Eevee~" Eevee brought the Poké Ball to Ash!Ash took it. "Very good! I've caught Taillow!" "Eevee~" "Pikachu~""I'm so envious! I want to catch a new Pokémon too!" "I want a Pokémon too!!" May and her brother looked at Ash with envious eyes.Clap! Clap! Clap! "Ash, long time no see. I didn't expect you to have become so powerful!"To be continued...
Chapter 10: The Hoenn Main Cast Gathers!Chapter 10: The Hoenn Main Cast Gathers!Clap! Clap! Clap! "Ash, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to become so strong!"At that moment, a round of applause and a voice familiar to Ash came from the forest."Brock! Why are you here? Didn't you go home?" (⊙o⊙) Ash knew Brock would appear, but he didn't expect it to be so soon."I heard a loud noise just now, so I came to take a look! Although I went home, I couldn't stay still. I heard from Professor Birch that you were on your way to Rustboro City, Ash, so I followed you." Brock walked out of the forest, "Long time no see, Ash, Pikachu!""Pika Pika~" Ash and Brock shook hands!Ash's Pokemon also greeted Brock. Except for Eevee, the other Pokemon were very familiar with Brock!"Long time no see, Phanpy! And Pidgeot, it seems Ash picked you up! Is this a newly caught Eevee? It's well-trained! This Torchic is also good!" Brock greeted the Pokemon one by one."So, we can travel together again, right?" Ash said."Yeah, please take care of me.""Me too! By the way, these two are new Trainers traveling with me, May and her brother Max. That Torchic is May's starter Pokemon. Also, their father is Norman of the Petalburg Gym." Ash introduced the siblings to Brock and then introduced Brock to them, "This is Brock, the traveling companion I mentioned before, whose goal is to become the world's number one Pokemon Breeder.""I'm still learning, so please take care of me! May, Max! Is your goal to become Gym Leaders?""Ah! Us too. As for the goal, I haven't decided yet!" May scratched her head."Please take care of me! As for me, I don't have any Pokemon yet." Max was a bit downcast."Even though my brother doesn't have Pokemon yet, he's determined to become a Gym Leader." Brock knelt down and patted Max's shoulder to encourage him, "So I left Onix and the others at the Gym. My only partner now is Forretress.""Mm!" Max nodded, his mood recovering."By the way, Ash, what was that move just now? It was so powerful!" Brock asked curiously."Yeah, yeah!" May and Max also looked at Ash with expectant eyes."Haha! This is the Z-Move battle system from the Alola region. It's currently widely used in Alola but rarely seen in other regions." Ash explained with a smile."I see!" Everyone nodded.Suddenly, May spoke up, "Um, I heard Ash say your cooking is delicious, so..." *⁂((✪⥎✪))⁂* May's face was full of expectation; after all, who would eat a cold bento if they could have a hot meal!!"Haha! Let's go! I made a few rice balls, but they're not enough for us. I'll make a stew too!" After Brock finished speaking, he led Ash and the others to where he left his luggage."Yay!" ヾ(^▽^*))) May jumped up happily."Ah~ What happened to the rice balls I made? They're gone!!" Brock shouted."Could they have been stolen by wild Pokemon?" May asked."How could that be? Forget it, I'll make the stew first!" Brock frowned and shook his head, then took a pot and ingredients from his backpack to start a fire and cook.During this time, Ash released Taillow to treat it."Siba~" Ash sprayed Potion on Taillow.Brock walked over, checked Taillow's injuries, and said, "Mm! It's fine now! Ash, you've grown a lot during this time!""People always grow!" Ash scratched his head sheepishly, then turned to Taillow and said, "Please take care of me, Taillow!""Siba~" Taillow raised its right wing to signal it was okay.At that moment, a flock of Taillow flew over and were about to attack Ash and the others."What's going on? What are the Taillow doing!" May quickly hid behind Ash in fear.Ash's Taillow flew in front of the flock to try and persuade them!"No matter how you try to persuade them, it's useless, meow." Meowth's voice came from afar!"Is this? Could it be them?" Brock said, finding it hard to believe. Even after coming to the Hoenn region, he still hadn't shaken them off!Ash nodded to Brock, "That's right! It's them, the Team Rocket Trio!""Wahahaha~" Jessie, James, and Meowth appeared laughing."Why is it you guys again?" （＃－.－） Brock said speechlessly."Since you... (Team Rockets' motto)""Starting today, these Taillow are officially joining our ranks." James looked at the four of them proudly."The Taillow's unyielding and indomitable fighting spirit.""Is exactly the spirit of Team Rockets.""That's right, meow~" "Wobbuffet~""Alright, Taillow, for the sake of eating rice balls, please work hard. Finish them off!" Jessie pointed at Ash's group and commanded the Taillow to attack."Rice balls! Did you take the rice balls I left here? Unforgivable!" Brock glared at the Team Rocket Trio.While Brock was confronting Team Rockets, the Taillow surrounded Ash and the others."Siba~ siba~ siba~" xN...Ash was seen holding several cans of Pokemon Food and distributing them to the Taillow, "Come, come! Don't worry, there's enough for every Taillow!"The Team Rocket Trio looked at each other awkwardly!"No way!" "They defected because of food!""Hmph! Team Rockets, you want to compete with us in food? You can't win! Pikachu, Thunderbolt!""Pikachu~"Pikachu released a bolt of yellow electricity, hitting Team Rockets.Boom! "What a bad feeling!" "Wobbuffet (˃ʍ˂)~"Afterward, Ash and the others bid farewell to the flock of Taillow. After eating the lunch Brock made, they continued toward Rustboro City.————————————Petalburg Woods was still very large. Ash's groupencountered many passing Trainers along the way, and unsurprisingly, they all became Ash's experience points! Not only could they promote the growth of Eevee and the other two little ones, but they could also increase points—two birds with one stone, making him feel very happy!"Taillow, use Wing Attack!" "Siba~"Now Ash sent out the recently caught Taillow, while the passing Trainer used a Beedrill!With a whoosh, Taillow flew directly in front of Beedrill. Beedrill fell to the ground, eyes swirling, losing its ability to battle!It would be strange if a Bug-type Pokemon at only the peak of the common level wasn't defeated by a Superior-level Flying-type Pokemon!Taillow flew onto Ash's shoulder, and Ash walked over, "Is your Beedrill okay?""It's fine." The passerby helped it up, looked at it, and said, "Thank you, I gained great battle experience."The two reached out and shook hands, making friends!After bidding farewell to the other person, the group continued their journey!"To be able to shake hands warmly after a battle, that's the feeling of youth!" May sighed as she walked!"Building friendship while battling, that is a Pokemon battle." Brock explained from the side."That's right! May, you can try it. I'm sure you'll like the feeling!" Ash suggested from the side."Pika!" As everyone was about to walk out of Petalburg Woods, Pikachu suddenly cried out in a certain direction.Swish! A huge Pokemon suddenly leaped out from the grass!To be continued...New author, new book, please recommend it!!
