The recent interlude was quite interesting... at least, that's what Blue thought.
Not only the interaction between Ash and Serena, but also Lila's small, anxious thoughts successfully piqued Blue's gossipy curiosity.
Of course, what she found even more 'amusing' was the dark-skinned boy.
"Heh... suddenly, I don't want to skip this Summer Camp anymore~" Blue subtly glanced at the boastful fellow, and a playful smile gradually curved her lips.
"Sister Blue, how can you still smile?" Lila pouted angrily beside her. "That guy is absolutely detestable!"
"So we need to figure out a way to deal with him ah~" Blue's smile became even more cunning. "Didn't your brother just say that this forest doesn't welcome that guy? Well, why don't we let him properly experience the forest's revenge? We can do this... and then this. You'll need to use your ability to help me, okay~"
"Oh... is that really okay?" Hearing Blue whisper her plan, Lila was stunned.
She did possess special abilities, just like Ash, allowing her to communicate silently with Pokémon. But using Pokémon to do those things felt a bit dishonest... And how did Sister Blue know that guy would definitely stray from the group later?
"Don't worry, I know people like him too well," Blue said dismissively. "People like that are always self-righteous, bully the weak and fear the strong, and can only see the faults of others... Just wait and see. When he gets carried away, his true colors will definitely show."
Having lived under someone else's roof for years, Blue, though never wronged, had to learn to read people's expressions and gauge their moods.
When it came to judging people, she was second to none.
Events unfolded exactly as Blue predicted. Not long after the group set off again, Goh completely forgot the requirement for group movement and started running around frantically.
His Childhood Friend couldn't stop him and could only follow behind, until she was dragged along and separated from the main group.
"See? I wasn't wrong, was I~" Blue smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Lila, now it's your time to shine."
"Watch me."
Lila had made up her mind now. Goh was truly too annoying; not only did he contradict Oak, but he was also rude to Ash later. Even with her good temper, she couldn't help but want to teach him a lesson!
Consequently, the two girls immediately took action. They requested to leave the group under the pretext of searching for people, and then, using Lila's ability to communicate with Pokémon, they found Goh and Xiaochun faster than Oak could.
At this moment, Goh clearly had no idea that trouble was looming~
"Coo!" *N
"Wha—what are those?" "They're Pidgey! Why are they charging at us?!"
The commotion in the woods startled the two distracted children. The usually gentle Pidgey suddenly became as violent as Spearow, swarming towards them without warning, scaring them into immediate flight.
But Xiaochun quickly realized that these Pidgey seemed completely uninterested in her; they were relentlessly chasing Goh, attacking him with their wings and beaks, making him scream loudly all by himself.
She had wanted to help block the attacks for Goh, but the Pidgey seemed to have locked onto their target, always circling around her to find an opportunity to continue attacking Goh~
Helplessly, they could only drive them off while retreating deeper into the woods, finally escaping the Pidgey gang attack.
But Goh's bad luck didn't stop there. He was soon attacked by a group of Weedle using Poison Sting, accompanied by Beedrill constantly preparing to blast his face with Twinneedle Dance.
Following that were Rattata's Bite and Poliwag's Water Gun. In the end, they even attracted a Pichu and a Kangaskhan, who rewarded Goh with a Thunder Shock and a Fake Out, respectively~
The Pokémon in the entire forest were no longer as gentle and harmless as before. They treated Goh like a class enemy, and anyone who met him went up to give him a good beating.
The cause of all this was a single sentence Lila told the Pokémon... This annoying guy angered Ash!
Thus, the word spread exponentially, until the entire forest rose up to attack!
"Are we... safe now?" "I think so..."
After barely escaping to a forest clearing, Xiaochun and Goh finally got a moment to catch their breath.
However, compared to Xiaochun, whose braids were only slightly messy, the annoying dark-skinned boy was undeniably miserable.
He was now not only soaked like a drowned rat, but his body was also covered in bruises, and Beedrill had even ripped a hole in the back of his pants... "Seriously... what is wrong with these Pokémon? They're all so hateful!" Goh complained, panting as he sat on the ground. "And why are they only attacking me?"
He angrily turned to the unharmed Xiaochun next to him, his eyes even showing a hint of resentment, with absolutely no intention of self-reflection.
"Goh..." Xiaochun looked slightly wronged. She wanted to argue, but she was interrupted by a sudden tremor from not far away.
Afterward, the two saw the smoke rising from a battle.
"A Pokémon battle! What a coincidence?!" Goh, who had forgotten the pain before his wounds even healed, scrambled up from the ground and excitedly ran off to join the fun.
"Sigh..." Behind him, Xiaochun shook her head helplessly, but she had no choice but to follow.
They soon discovered that the battle was between a majestic and powerful Nidoking and another Pokémon that was small, cute, and resembled a long-tailed kitten.
Although the size difference was huge, the battle was completely one-sided. No matter what move Nidoking used, the opposing Pokémon could counter with the exact same technique, effortlessly beating its opponent back step by step!
"So strong... what kind of Pokémon is that?" Goh couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Hey, this is new. There's actually a Pokémon you don't know?" Blue appeared with Lila. "But I don't mind telling you. Oak once received some data; it's called Mew, the Mythical Pokémon possessing the genes of all Pokémon."
"Mew, huh... Alright, I've decided!" Goh suddenly shouted excitedly. "Once I become a Pokémon Trainer, I must capture Mew!"
"Mew..." The Mew currently battling couldn't help but shiver all over, seemingly put off by this repulsive 'vision,' and nearly got hit in the face by Nidoking's Fire Blast~
"Hehe~" Regarding this kind of wild fantasy, Blue merely sneered and secretly beckoned toward the bushes behind her.
"Nido!!" A Nidoran♀ suddenly darted out of nowhere right in front of Goh, and before Goh could even react, it immediately launched a Double Kick!
Fighting-type against an annoying person—definitely Super Effective~
After knocking Goh down with one blow, Nidoran still didn't seem satisfied. It raised its small claws again and proceeded to deliver a barrage of Fury Swipes right on Goh's face!
"Ow! Stop it... What are you doing? Help!!"
For a while, Goh's screams were incessant, and the entire clearing was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"Mew~"
Even Mew, who was just fighting, stopped battling Nidoking and covered its mouth with its little paw, laughing non-stop~
