Chapter 61 Green Shade Town, Masked MessengerChapter 61: Verdanturf Town, Masked MessengerAsh's group, heading towards Verdanturf Town, were ambushed by Team Rockets along the way. Although Ash and the others successfully repelled them, May's Skitty accidentally inhaled Torkoal's smoke, injuring its throat and making it unable to speak!Ash and the others had no choice but to go to the nearest town, Twinleaf Town. Although there was no Pokémon Center, there was a Pokémon clinic!After a massage by the female doctor Ayako, May's Skitty recovered. After learning more, everyone discovered that Ayako was a Champion of the Grand Festival and held the title of top Coordinator! And her partner was Delcatty, the evolution of Skitty!Ayako and May hit it off immediately. She taught May a lot of Coordinator knowledge and let Delcatty teach Skitty its unique secret technique from back then - playing ball with its tail using Double Slap, and also helped defeat Team Rocketsagain, learning the Blizzard skill!May decided to use what Ayako taught her to participate in the Verdanturf Competition, but this time Ash would be participating, so May could do whatever she was happy with!——————————Ash's group arrived at Verdanturf Town smoothly, and the Contests was starting the next day!Upon arriving at the Pokémon Center, Ash and the others saw a familiar figure anxiously talking to Nurse Joy about something.May, full of fighting spirit, rushed straight up, "Drew, you really came here too. Let's have a showdown this time!"Drew turned and saw Ash and the others, regaining his arrogant demeanor, "You guys came too. I was planning to participate in this Contests, but..." Drewlooked sadly at the Roselia he had entrusted to Nurse Joy!Everyone looked over and saw that Roselia was covered in injuries. Recovery by tomorrow was almost impossible, so Drew would likely have to give up on this Contests!"How did Roselia get so badly injured?!" May, as his rival, felt heartbroken seeing Roselia's injuries."We had a battle just now," Drew said, pausing, "The Coordinator wearing a mask - the Masked Messenger. You guys need to be careful!"Drew gave a reminder and then left dejectedly."Drew..." May looked at Drew's retreating figure with concern.Ash, however, shook his head. Giving up because of a setback showed that Drew was not mature enough, after all, Drew couldn't possibly only have one Roselia! Although it would be a temporary replacement, with Drew's talent, even if he didn't get a high score, the chance of passing the first round was still very high!"Okay! Then I need to train hard too!" May decided to get revenge for Drew in the Contests, and this time Ash was also participating, so she couldn't relax her guard!!Afterward, Ash's group went to a park for gorgeous training!"Alright! Skitty, take the stage!" May threw a Poké Ball elegantly upwards, "Meow meow meow~" After Skitty came out, it started spinning around its tail!"Skitty, the Contests starts tomorrow. Let's do our best together!" May squatted down and encouraged it."Meow~" Skitty cried out excitedly."Right, Ash, are you sending out Beautifly or Jigglypuff?!" May asked Ash."Of course, it's Jigglypuff. Using Jigglypuff will definitely sweep the whole 場!" Ash said as he sent out Jigglypuff, "Pudding~"Ash squatted down and said to Jigglypuff, "You're going to take the stage this time! Do your best!"Jigglypuff immediately showed a brilliant smile, "Pudding~"Subsequently, Ash and May began their respective training. May was mainly training Skitty's sometimes effective, sometimes ineffective Blizzard, while Ashwas preparing his performance.Suddenly, a strong Gust blew, carrying withered leaves and dust. A strange thief, no! A Masked Messenger, wearing a black cloak, a black top hat, and a Dusknoir mask on his face, appeared before everyone!The Masked Messenger turned his back to everyone, posing coolly, "I ask you, are you Coordinators who are going to participate in the Contests!""Ah~ The Masked Messenger really appeared!" Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ May exclaimed!Hearing that everyone recognized him, the Masked Messenger immediately turned around coolly, "That's right! I am the Masked Coordinator - the Masked Messenger! I challenge you!""Okay! I accept!" Ash nodded and agreed to the battle, "Pika~" "Eevee~" "Pudding~" Ash's three Pokémon united against the opponent!Xiao Gang served as the referee, using the Contests's five-minute battle rules!"Go, Dusknoir!" The Masked Messenger threw out a Poké Ball first, sending out his Pokémon![Dusknoir] [Superior Mid-Stage]"Then I'll be counting on you! Jigglypuff!" Ash said to Jigglypuff beside him, "Pudding~" Jigglypuff patted its chest with its small arms, indicating not to worry!"Jigglypuff, Dazzling Gleam!" "Pudding~" Pink light appeared around Jigglypuff, instantly hitting Dusknoir and causing Dusknoir to lose its battle ability!"Dusknoir!" The Masked Messenger's eyes widened in disbelief under his mask as he watched this scene! Before he could react, a luxurious car suddenly drove towards them. The Masked Messengerquickly recalled Dusknoir, "You win! Goodbye!"Another Gust came, and the Masked Messengertook the opportunity to quickly run into the forest!The luxurious car also stopped in front of Ash and the others. An Auntie dressed in countless designer brands got out and immediately chased after him into the small forest! The Masked Messenger, being chased, accidentally cut his palm, but unfortunately, the Auntie didn't catch up, she only picked up a pen, her son's pen.The returning Auntie questioned everyone indiscriminately, "Are you companions of the Masked Messenger, the Coordinator wearing a mask?"Then, she stepped forward and grabbed Ash's shoulders, shaking him non-stop, "What did you do to my beloved Kimimaro??""Kimimaro?! No, Auntie, the Masked Messengercame to challenge us!" May quickly explained."Ah?! Is that so?! I'm sorry! My name is Kimiyo." Kimiyo awkwardly released Ash.Xiao Gang politely stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, who is Kimimaro?""Listen to me! This is what happened. Recently, my beloved son Kimimaro started skipping classes and not going to tutoring," Kimiyo said, wiping away tears with a handkerchief, "So I hired a detective to investigate him thoroughly, and found that wherever Kimimaro went, the Masked Messenger appeared! So Kimimaro must have been deceived by the Masked Messenger and led to do bad things!"Ash's mouth twitched, looking speechlessly at Kimiyo. Let's just say the previous Masked Messenger looked very much like a phantom thief, and look, even a detective appeared! And is there a possibility that your son *is* the Masked Messenger?!"Excuse me, you are Pokémon Trainers, right!" Kimiyo cried and pleaded, "Please help me expose the identity of the Masked Messenger! I can give you a thank-you gift!"Everyone looked at the mother worried about her child, sighed, and agreed, stating that they didn't need a thank-you gift!Subsequently, Ash and the others took Kimiyo's luxurious car to a lavish villa. Everyone was shocked. As expected of a rich family!To be continued...
Chapter 62: Green Shade ConferenceChapter 62 Verdanturf CompetitionAsh and the others followed Kimiyo into the villa. Kimiyo shouted, "Kimimaro! Kimimaro, come out here!"At this moment, a man walked out of the room. "What is it, Mom! I was reading in my room!"It was him indeed. Through his Aura, Ash was 100% sure that the Kimimaro in front of him was the Masked Messenger from before!Kimiyo took out the pen and shook it, saying to Kimimaro, "Is this pen yours? Without this pen, you shouldn't be able to read!"Kimimaro quickly tried to snatch it back, "Ah! It's my ballpoint pen!"Kimiyo retrieved the ballpoint pen and looked at Kimimaro angrily, saying, "It really is yours! Why did the ballpoint pen drop from the Masked Messenger? Explain it clearly!"Kimimaro immediately panicked. His identity was about to be exposed!"Did you give it to the Masked Messenger? Or did he force you to give it to him!" Kimiyo's train of thought was a bit broad.Ash and the others... but they also understood, after all, how could their own child be the Masked Messenger!Afterwards, Kimimaro refused to admit it and tried to take back the ballpoint pen, but this allowed Kimiyo to see the wound on his hand. Kimimaro took back the ballpoint pen and immediately ran back into his room."Kimimaro..." Kimiyo looked at Kimimaro's retreating back in a daze. Although she had this crucial evidence, she still didn't believe it. What if it was just an accident!As the company president, Kimiyo was very busy. After entrusting Ash and the others to find out the true identity of the Masked Messenger, she left in a hurry!Ash told Xiao Gang and the other two that Kimimaro was indeed the Masked Messenger. The three felt that Kimiyo and Kimimaro should communicate properly!At this time, Kimiyo's husband, Kimimaro's father—Tamura Maro, appeared and explained the situation to everyone. It turned out that he was the first generation Masked Messenger, and Kimimaro was the second generation. It must be said, it really had the feel of Kaito Kid.Tamura Maro was originally a Coordinator, but he had to give it up because he fell in love with Kimiyo. Kimimaro loved Pokemon since childhood but was stopped by Kimiyo. One time he accidentally met a Dusknoir and secretly raised it until this Contestswas held in Verdanturf Town. Only then did he put on the mask costume, break the seal, and become the second generation.Through Tamura Maro's connection, Ash and the others got to know Kimimaro. Ash and the others would act as intermediaries to help persuade Kimiyo!"Ash, how are we going to persuade Auntie Kimiyo?" May asked doubtfully. Shouldn't they create an alibi for Kimimaro!"It's simple, let Auntie Kimiyo watch tomorrow's Contests! Let her know Kimimaro's determination!""But can that really work?""No parent will reject their child's dream, they will only support him!" Ash said firmly.Ash and the others found Kimiyo and told her their idea."Contests?! I see, I'll go watch tomorrow!" Kimiyothought that as long as she assigned Kimimaro a lot of homework and kept him at home, she should be able to distinguish it. She nodded and agreed.——————————Ash, May, and Kimimaro have already arrived at the waiting area! "Sigh~ Mom gave me so much homework. If it weren't for Dad, I almost couldn't get out!" Kimimaro sighed.Ash stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "This time you'll probably be exposed! After all, you ran away, but it will also let your mom understand your determination!""Yes!"Soon the first round of the Contests began. The first contestant was Musashi's new alias—Musashi Nobiki. This time she didn't cheat and successfully scored a high 28.5 points with her excellent performance talent, making the subsequent contestants nervous.Then May, number 21, appeared. Unfortunately, Blizzard failed at the critical moment. Although she used Double Slap to play with the ball and show Skitty's cuteness, she finally got 24.9 points.Although it wasn't 25 points, it was considered high in performances averaging 20 points!Next up, naturally, was Ash! "I choose you! Jigglypuff!" "Pudding~"Jigglypuff puffed out its cheeks high in the air and floated down. "Jigglypuff, Sweet Kiss and Swift!" "Pudding~"Jigglypuff sent countless hearts and stars into the sky, which instantly became very colorful. "Dazzling Gleam!" Jigglypuff emitted pink light from its hand, rushed into the sky, and scattered!"Jigglypuff, the stage is set! Start singing!" "Pudding~" Jigglypuff picked up the microphone and started singing the Jigglypuff song. The combination of the grand visual spectacle and the beautiful singing was simply a large-scale concert scene, and the audience all cheered!Bang! After Jigglypuff finished singing, the hearts and stars exploded, turning into specks of light and scattering. "Pudding~" Jigglypuff happily bowed to the judges and the audience!Wow—it drew cheers from countless spectators!The final score was a perfect 30 points, the highest score of the entire competition!"So beautiful! As expected of Ash's performance!"Finally, Kimimaro gave his all, combining Dusknoir's Will-O-Wisp with Psychic, resulting in a final score of 27.8 points.Those who ultimately advanced to the Gorgeous Five Minutes were naturally Ash, May, Kimimaro, and Musashi!The first match was Ash against Musashi. "Satoshi?!" Musashi exclaimed when she saw the matching mechanism, feeling like she was being punished!"Musashi, let's have a proper battle. Don't cheat!" Ash said.Musashi's mouth twitched. If it were other Pokemon, she could still fight, but thinking about how many times this cute Jigglypuff had wiped out her team made her shiver!"Go, Dustox!" "I choose you, Jigglypuff!"Jigglypuff's cute appearance caused Musashi's score to drop slightly. "What's that supposed to mean! Isn't my Dustox beautiful?!" Musashi was instantly furious.Although the audience didn't respond, their gazes were clearly on Jigglypuff, supporting Jigglypuff. "Go, Musashi!" However, there were still those supporting Musashi. Who else could it be besides Kojiro and Meowth!"Dustox, Poison Needle!" "Jigglypuff, Light Screen!" Jigglypuff put up a pink Light Screen, blocking the Poison Needle.This caused Musashi's score to drop again. Musashi was anxious and Flail! "Dustox, Psybeam!" Colorful beams rushed over, but they were still blocked by the Light Screen!"Jigglypuff, Disarming Voice!" "Pudding~" Under Jigglypuff's voice, Dustox suffered a mental attack!"Damn it! Dustox, finish it with Venoshock!" "Jigglypuff, Sing!" "Pudding pudding~"Dustox was put to sleep before it could use the move! "Finish it, Double Slap!" *Slap!* It slapped the sleeping Dustox until it was unable to battle!"Dustox is unable to battle! Its score is completely deducted! Jigglypuff advances with an overwhelming victory! It's truly both cute and powerful!"The second match was Kimimaro against May. At this moment, Kimimaro's parents, Tamura Maro and Kimiyo, also arrived at the scene!To be continued...
Chapter 63: Ash's Third ribbon badge"Skitty, come on stage!" "Give it your all, go! Dusknoir!"After Skitty and Dusknoir arrived on the field, the Gorgeous Five Minutes began! One was a Normal-type and the other a Ghost-type, counteracting and nullifying each other! So, there was still hope for May to win against a stronger opponent!Ash had already reminded her about the relationship between Normal and Ghost types before the match, so the only two moves Skittycould use to attack Dusknoir were Blizzard, which was sometimes effective and sometimes not, and Assist, which was full of uncertainty!"Dusknoir, use Will-O-Wisp!" Blue flames appeared, attacking Skitty!May didn't hesitate, "Assist!" Skitty's orange flame met the Will-O-Wisp, it was Combusken's Flamethrower!"Again! Skitty, Assist!" Skitty's small paws emitted white light, and a Silver Wind swept out."Dusknoir, Psychic!" Dusknoir unleashed pink mental power, crushing the Silver Wind!Their scores were neck and neck, and the battle became more and more intense!Tamura Maro said to Kimiyo, "How is it? Child, look at him chasing his dream on stage, when has he ever been so confident!"Kimiyo watched Kimimaro's serious and confident attitude closely, her eyes filled with brilliance. Indeed, this was something he had never shown before!Meanwhile, Kimimaro and May were already preparing for the final showdown! "Dusknoir, Hyper Beam!"May fought back desperately, "I'm going all out! Skitty, Blizzard!" This time, Skitty didn't make a mistake, and the incredibly powerful and fierce Blizzard actually suppressed the Hyper Beam, even knocking Dusknoir back! At the same time, Skittyadvanced to the early Superior stage.Time was up, and May's score had the advantage after the final blow, making her score higher and successfully advancing!"Yeah! We won! Skitty, you played wonderfully!" May cheered.When Kimimaro came off the field, he met his mother Kimiyo and father Tamura Maro. Through a heart-to-heart talk, it turned out that the reason Kimiyo didn't allow Kimimaro to touch Pokemonwas because she had experienced the pain of separation from her good friend Poochyena when she was young and didn't want her child to experience it again. Afterwards, Kimiyo also chose to support Kimimaro's dream and encouraged him to work hard in the Contests!Indeed, parents' hearts are the same all over the world. Every parent will silently support their children!"Ash, I will give my all in this match!" On the field, May looked at Ash seriously and said."Come on! Let me see your progress! You're up, Jigglypuff!" "Skitty, come on stage!""Pudding~" "Meow~""Go for it! Princess, Ash." "Pika~" "Eevee~""Skitty, Double Slap!" Skitty rushed towards Jigglypuff with its small tail flashing white light."Jigglypuff, Disable! Then Double Slap." "Pudding~" Jigglypuff's eyes emitted light, "Meow~" Skitty was instantly unable to move."Ah?! Skitty, hurry up and move! Be careful!" Mayexclaimed. With two slaps, Skitty was already knocked away! May's score immediately dropped by one-third."Skitty, Assist!" "Meow~" Skitty's paw emitted white light, and a Hurricane swept in, it was Hurricane."Jigglypuff, Dazzling Gleam!" The pink light instantly shattered the Hurricane. May gritted her teeth and said nervously, "Quickly use Blizzard!" Only with the support of Blizzard could May shatter the Dazzling Gleam."May, it's over! Sing!" "Bo bo li bo~" "Meow~" Skittylay on the ground sleeping. No matter how Maycalled, it wouldn't wake up. You know, even Ash, a Super Pallet Town native, would sleep from day to night after hearing Jigglypuff's song, so five minutes was nothing.May was disqualified, and Ash won this Contests!"Verdanturf Town ribbon badge, I got it!" "Pudding~"[Ding~ Obtained the Verdanturf Town ribbon badge, reward: 1000 points]"Ash, you're amazing! You've already completed half of both the Gym Matches and the Contestss. And I've only gotten one ribbon badge." May said dejectedly.Ash comforted her, "When I first started my journey, I was even worse than you! I grew up through countless failures, right, Xiao Gang.""Huh~ Really?! I thought you, Ash, had never lost!"Xiao Gang sighed as he recalled, "Yes! Back then, Ash didn't know anything, he only had a passionate heart. Ash also grew up through countless battles!"At the Pokémon Center, Ash sent Jigglypuff and Mudkip back and sent Grovyle and Annihilape over.Ash's team: Pikachu, Eevee, Annihilape, Grovyle, Beautifly, Ralts, Torkoal, Quilava——————————Ash's group, after participating in the Verdanturf Town Conference, left Verdanturf Town the next day!In order to defeat Norman and get the fifth badge, Ash also greatly increased his training. The Pokemon participating in this Gym Match were Beautifly, Eevee, and Annihilape. There was nothing he could do, as Annihilape completely countered Normal-types! And Eevee was also progressing. During the journey, it learned the Psychic-type move - Confusion Aura in the daytime, advancing to the mid-Gym stage! As for Beautifly, he originally planned to use Ralts, but Ralts's Trace ability, once it copied the Truant ability, this match couldn't be played![Confusion Aura: Attacks forcefully with Psychicpower and creates a mysterious wall that lowers Special Attack]During their journey, Ash's group encountered a water shortage. Xiao Gang led everyone to a small village with one of the top 100 famous springs deep in the Forest! On the way, they were ambushed by Team Rockets and rescued by a Solrock. After arriving at the village, they found that the spring had dried up, so Ash and the others had to let their Water-type Pokemon search for water and met Mayu.During the process, Xiao Gang's Lotad evolved into Lombre, who was regarded as the Lombre God by the villagers. The villagers unanimously believed that it was caused by the Solrock from outer space.After some investigation, they found that Team Rockets were pumping groundwater, planning to sell it for money. Under the protection of Solrock, the villagers realized they had misunderstood Solrock. After knocking Team Rockets away again, a large amount of water vapor was formed under the effect of the hot Solrock and Water Gun, causing it to rain again.So the villagers all gave up the Lombre God and worshiped the Solrock God.Ash and the others also bid farewell to Mayu and embarked on their journey to Petalburg City!——————————Ash's group came to a certain Forest, and then they got lost again and again!"Why, why do we always get lost!" May sat on the ground and cried out.Xiao Gang said that they had even lost their way back, so they could only bite the bullet and move forward. So Xiao Gang started cooking, after all, they had to replenish their energy before continuing.After Xiao Gang finished cooking, Ash and the others also released their Pokemon to eat. At this time, Pikachu pricked up its ears as if it had discovered something, pointing in one direction, "Pika pi~"And Combusken and Eevee also seemed to have discovered something, and ran towards that direction with Pikachu. Seeing this, everyone quickly chased after them!To be continued...
Chapter 64 Xiaoyao and the Blue BirdChapter 64: May and SwabluAhead, a large number of trees had fallen, with scorch marks on them, likely caused by last night's thunderstorm."Pika Pi~" Pikachu anxiously pointed in one direction and called out. Everyone quickly looked over and saw an injured Pokemon, a Swablu, under a patch of completely burnt trees.Altaria, Swablu's evolution, is a Dragon-typePokemon. It's quite enviable for bird Pokemon to have the Dragon-type, especially for Charizard and others who look like dragons but don't have the Dragon-type! Especially after Mega Evolution, Fairyand Dragon-types make it a complete 'Dragon Race Traitor'!"It's a Swablu, it seems to be injured!" Xiao Gang frowned."Here, Swablu, don't be scared! Come here!" Maysquatted down, opened her arms, and said gently to Swablu.Although Swablu was hesitant to approach humans, because of its injuries and the gentle feeling Maygave it, Swablu came to May.May (*^ω^*) happily picked up Swablu, took out some painkiller spray for it, and then started bandaging Swablu. This made Ash and Xiao Gang feel that the little girl who didn't know anything before had grown up, but her bandaging skills were really not that great!"Princess, your bandaging looks like a mummy!" Maxcommented upon seeing May's bandaging result.Bang! "Max! Is that what you said! Why don't you do it!" "Ah~" Max clutched his head in pain.The loud sound was heard by a man with a Nuzleaf, who hurried over.Soon, rustling sounds came from the bushes next to Ash's group. Everyone looked over, and a Nuzleafjumped out from the bushes, followed by a man!Seeing this, Swablu hid behind May in fear."Ah! Sorry, sorry! I seem to have scared you. I'm Morita, the nature conservation officer here. May I ask why you are here?" Morita politely asked Ashand the others.After Ash's group introduced themselves, Ash told Morita about the current situation.After understanding the situation, Morita took Ash's group to his log cabin, saying they could make themselves at home. Meanwhile, Xiao Gang removed Swablu's bandage and re-bandaged it.Morita also explained the situation of the thunderstorm last night, guessing that the lightning might have destroyed Swablu's nest, separating it from its flock!Ash's group decided to take it back to its flock before continuing their journey. This scene was also overheard and spied on by Team Rockets outside, who fantasized about presenting Swablu to Giovanni as a pillow, dreaming of promotion and a raise.May personally fed medicine to Swablu. After days and nights of care, three days later, Swablu had fully recovered and was very close to May. Unfortunately, Swablu seemed to have developed a fear of Flyingdue to its injury. No matter how May encouraged it, Swablu had difficulty overcoming it. May had to send out Beautifly to let Swablu experience Flying, and Ash also sent out Beautifly to prevent any accidents.Subsequently, Max successfully used the psychological suggestion magic powder to help Swablu fly successfully, but it still had to rely on itself, otherwise, it would be dependent on the powder forever! At this time, Morita also brought good news, finding that the Altaria flock was near the lake. Ash's group got into Morita's car and headed towards the lake.Just as they were about to arrive, a light needle caused a tire to burst. Ash's group quickly got out of the car, and a mechanical arm grabbed Swablu!"Team Rockets! Give Swablu back to me quickly!" May shouted angrily."Meow hahaha~ We got it, meow!" "Good job, Cacnea!"Musashi held Swablu and laughed, "Swablu is ours!" "Chirp chirp~" Swablu struggled and shouted."Since you sincerely... that's how it is, meow!" "Wobbuffet~""Haha, Satoshi, we'll let you off this time! We'll catch Pikachu next time, the boss's pillow is here!""Goodbye, meow!"Team Rockets quickly retreated. May suddenly had an idea, "Swablu, use Sing!""What?! Sing is absolutely not allowed, wait until we get to Giovanni before singing! Cacnea, Pin Missile!" Kojiro quickly commanded.Unfortunately, it was too late. Team Rockets were hypnotized, and Cacnea, loyal even in sleep, didn't forget to execute Kojiro's command. This scene made countless Trainers tear up!"Ah~ It feels so good, stop it!" Cacnea's Pin Missileflew wildly inside Team Rockets' hot air balloon, hitting the Team Rocket Trio's butts and waking them up instantly. "Don't use Pin Missile here, meow!"The light needle accidentally punctured the igniter, and the hot air balloon caught fire and began to fall!May said in a panic, "Swablu, fly! Fly quickly! There's no magic powder, come on!"The trembling Swablu heard May's encouragement, looked up at the blue sky, its eyes becoming firm. It shot out of the black smoke with a whoosh, and Swablu's figure appeared in the sky."Great! Swablu succeeded, it can fly!" May cheered, and Swablu flew into May's arms.Meanwhile, Team Rockets' hot air balloon was falling with fire. "Lombre, Mudkip, use Water Gun!" Two streams of water extinguished the flames."Phew~ We're saved!" "Where's Swablu, meow?" Team Rockets were clearly not giving up."Lombre, Mudkip, Water Gun!" "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Blue water streams connected with golden electricity attacked Team Rockets! Boom!!"What a nasty feeling!" "Wobbuffet (˃ʍ˂)~"Afterward, Ash's group arrived at the lake, only to find that there were no Pokemon on the calm surface, let alone Altaria!"How could this be!" May said anxiously, "Everyone seems to have left!"May then looked at Swablu Flying in the air and said, "Swablu, do you want to become my partner? How about it?""Chirp~" Just as Swablu was about to agree, a cry came from the lake. The Altaria and Swablu had actually returned to look for it!Swablu flew towards them. "Swablu~" Mayreluctantly watched Swablu leave, tears starting to well up in her eyes."Princess~" Max also thought of the scene when he separated from Jirachi and deeply understood this feeling!Swablu looked at May, thinking of the meticulous care it had received these past few days, its eyes becoming firm. It cried out to its flock. The Altariaseemed to try to persuade it, but finally shook its head and led the flock away!As Ash's group was about to turn and leave, "Chirp chirp~" Swablu came to May."Swablu?! You didn't leave with them?" Mayexclaimed in surprise.Ash smiled and said to May, "May, it seems Swabluwants to become your Pokemon!"May looked at Swablu in surprise, "Really?""Chirp chirp~" Swablu nodded.[Swablu][Gender: Female][Type: Normal, Flying][Ability: Natural Cure (Status conditions are healed when it switches out) ][Strength: Normal Mid-stage][Moves: Growl, Peck, Sing, Disarming Voice][Dynamax Type: Flying]"Go, Poké Ball!" May threw a Poké Ball at Swablu. "Chirp~" Swablu was drawn into the Poké Ball. Bang! Capture successful!"Yay! I got Swablu!" May picked up the Poké Balland cheered."Congratulations, May!"Just like that, May got her fourth Pokemon. Morita also told Ash's group a shortcut to Petalburg City. After saying goodbye to Morita, Ash's group once again set off on their journey to Petalburg City!To be continued...
Chapter 65 Xiaoyao VS GuyChapter 65: May VS GuyAsh's group, heading towards Petalburg City, were resting and eating lunch in the Forest!"So delicious! Another bowl!" May's voice rang out."We're almost at Petalburg City!" Xiao Gang said to everyone, holding his bowl.Max said to Ash: "My dad is very strong! You need to be careful, Ash!""No problem, I'm already prepared!" "Eevee~""Dong ma~" At this moment, a loud roar came from the Forest!Everyone quickly looked over, and a light purple Pokemon with a big mouth and four teeth was blocking their way in front of Ash and the others!"That's Loudred!" Max exclaimed.Moreover, this Loudred was very restless, charging wildly towards Ash and others. "Cha ma~" Ash's Grovyle blocked the crowd."Okay! Grovyle Pound!" Grovyle slapped it away with one paw![Loudred][Elite Mid-Stage]"Dong~" Loudred bounced up from the ground and charged over again. "Grovyle, Leaf Blade!" "Cha ma~" Green blades emerged from Grovyle's arms, and with two slashes, Loudred lost its ability to battle!"Cha ma!" Becoming Grovyle's last bit of experience, it broke through to the Elite peak. Grovyle nodded in satisfaction; its peers had all broken through, and it was the only one left."Loudred!" At this moment, Loudred's Trainer finally arrived late. Only after discovering that Loudred was fine did he breathe a sigh of relief."Thank you for stopping my Loudred! My name is Guy." Guy thanked them."I'm Ash from Pallet Town." "My name is Xiao Gang, please take care of me!" "I'm May." "I'm Max."After learning that Guy and Ash were both challenging Gyms with the Hoenn League as their goal, when he learned that Ash had already obtained four, Guy said admiringly: "That's amazing! I only have two so far, collecting eight is really not easy!""Not at all, I believe you can succeed too." Ashencouraged."Oh right, thank you so much just now. I don't know why Loudred has been so wild recently and isn't listening to me!" Guy looked helplessly at the sleeping Loudred.Ash expressed his thoughts, "I think I should know, your Loudred should be about to evolve!""About to evolve? Really?" Guy said excitedly; happiness came too suddenly.Ash nodded affirmatively."Then what should I do?" Guy humbly asked for advice."The fastest way, of course, is a Pokemon battle!" Ash suggested."Then let me have a battle with you! Guy!" Maysuddenly spoke up.Eh~ "May~" x2 "Princess~" Everyone looked at Mayin surprise as she actually initiated a battle.May, being stared at by everyone, was very embarrassed, "Well, I just want to test my own strength!"Everyone nodded. Originally, Ash planned to go, but if he did, he could only choose Beautifly; the others were either too low or too high level, none were suitable. It just so happened that May took on this task.——————————"Then I'll leave it to you, Combusken!" "Cha mo~" Combusken patted its chest to show reassurance.In an open space, Loudred and Combusken faced off against each other."Combusken, Double Kick!" "Cha mo~" Combuskenkicked Loudred twice, repelling it!"Loudred, use Supersonic!" Loudred's two large ears emitted a Hyper Voice. "Combusken, use Flame Charge!"Combusken directly broke through the Supersonic, knocked it back, and sent it flying with another punch. "Eh~ What was that?" May was confused about this move."It's Sky Uppercut, it seems Combusken learned Sky Uppercut!" Ash explained to May.[Combusken][Elite Mid-Stage]Ash nodded, it seems it broke through!"Loudred!" Guy exclaimed, while Loudred stood up. "Dong ma~" It roared towards the sky, emitting blue and white evolution light! It successfully evolved into the more ferocious Exploud.May took out her Pokedex and scanned: Exploud...[Exploud][Elite Late-Stage]"Then let the match continue! Combusken, Flamethrower!" "Cha mo~" Combusken unleashed a stream of orange flames.Guy quickly said: "Exploud, quickly dodge!" However, Exploud did not obey the command; instead, it roared and released blue sound waves, scattering the flames!"This is Hyper Voice, but why!" Now Exploud wasn't listening to Guy at all and was wildly destroying the surroundings!"Combusken, use Sky Uppercut to quickly stop Exploud!" "Grovyle, use Leaf Blade!"With the combined efforts of Combusken and Grovyle, they successfully subdued Exploud!"Exploud! Why... why is it like this?" Guy said dejectedly.Now, of course, the assisting trio needed to appear. After seeing Exploud, the Team Rocket Trio were moved, fantasizing about becoming Giovanni's alarm clock and then getting promoted and a raise!They never thought about what Giovanni wanted, it wasn't easier than what they were doing.Without hesitation, they took out a bazooka and fired two corks to seal Exploud's sound waves.But Guy discovered it, "Careful!" He used his body to shield Exploud, hoping to move Exploud. Anyone unaware would think they were putting on a show together!But Team Rockets' black technology wasn't just for show, it even had tracking! I bet if the Team Rocket Trio had joined the R&D department instead of the operations department, they would definitely be the head of R&D by now, and their dreams would have long become reality."Combusken, Flamethrower!" "Grovyle, Leaf Blade!" The two Pokemon each destroyed a cork!"It's you Team Rockets again, as expected." Maysighed, they were like stubborn plaster, impossible to shake off!"Don't get in our way, Satoshi!" Musashi said domineeringly, carrying the bazooka."Who exactly are you?" Guy asked angrily. "Don't!" Ash quickly tried to stop him, but it was too late."Since you asked so sincerely... it's like this meow!" "Wobbuffet~"Ash looked speechlessly at the Team Rocket Trioand said: "Don't you Guys get tired of it? I'm already sick of hearing it!"Xiao Gang and the other two next to him nodded in agreement."Satoshi, what do you mean! This is our calling card!" Musashi said angrily."Then let's send you on your way, Pikachu, Glittering Thunder Light! Eevee, Veevee Volley!" "Pika~" "Eevee~"The thunder light and white light flashed, bang! Boom!! "Ah~ Satoshi, you ambushed us again, if you have the guts, have a proper battle!""This feeling is so annoying!" "Wobbuffet (˃ʍ˂)~"On the other side, Exploud also accepted Guy. Mayand Guy continued their unfinished match!"Combusken, Sky Uppercut!" "Exploud, Hyper Voice!"Although Exploud was stronger, Combuskensuccessfully defeated Exploud with its type advantage! Congratulations to Exploud on its first defeat after evolving!To be continued...
Chapter 66: Crazy Fans in North Chenghua CityChapter 66: Fanatics in North Petalburg CityAsh's group, who had been traveling in the Forest for an unknown amount of time, finally left it and arrived at the city closest to Petalburg City—North Petalburg City."Let's rest at the Pokémon Center for a night first!" Ash suggested to everyone."Agreed!" x3. After roughing it in the Forest for so long, they definitely needed a good rest at the Pokémon Center!The group quickly found the Pokémon Center, and Xiao Gang rushed forward first, "Nurse Joy, I'm here!"Max directly stepped forward to hold Xiao Gang back, and Spinda also came out to drag Xiao Gang.Xiao Gang looked helplessly at Heartbreak Spinda. He shouldn't have caught it, it was too much suffering. Before there was one, now there are two stopping him!"Ah?! Aren't you the children of Norman, the Gym Leader of the Petalburg Gym?! You are Miss Mayand Max, right!" Nurse Joy actually recognized Miss May and Max right away.At this moment, an Auntie who was delivering vegetables to the Pokémon Center happened to overhear this.Afterward, Miss May and Max also admitted their identities.The Auntie's face immediately became serious, and she ran out in a flash, shouting at the top of her lungs: "Something big is wrong! Norman's children have come to our North Petalburg City!"As soon as the words fell, the ground began to shake, and dust flew up like ten thousand horses galloping, rushing over in a dense crowd, "Where are Norman's children?!" A group of people looked around the Auntie.The Auntie pointed to the Pokémon Center, "Charge! Don't push me, I want to watch from the front!" "Get out of the way, it should clearly be me!" "Ah! I want an autograph!"Ash and the others had just walked out of the Pokémon Center and were terrified at being surrounded by a dense crowd, almost thinking they were here for revenge. It turned out to be a large-scale fan event!A reporter aimed at Miss May and said enthusiastically: "You are Norman's children, right! I am a reporter from North Petalburg City!"The siblings nodded and admitted their identities, not knowing what they were about to face next!"It is said that Miss May, you are traveling to become a top Pokemon Trainer. May I ask what achievements you have made so far?"This stumped Miss May; she hadn't participated in any Gym Matches! Under Max's urging, Miss Mayawkwardly took out her only ribbon badge to show them.Then, the scene was silent. Just as Miss May and her brother were feeling awkward, the reporter spoke: "As expected of Norman's children, they got a ribbon badge after traveling for such a short time!""That's right!" "So amazing!" "As expected of Norman's children!" Everyone started praising them, making Miss May and Max not know what to do. They looked for Ash, but couldn't find him.Miss May performed a Contests routine for the citizens, making them even more fanatical and praising Miss May profusely!As for Ash and Xiao Gang, they had already been pushed outside by this group of people, and the two were awkwardly looking at each other.Meanwhile, the impoverished Team Rocket Trio also arrived in North Petalburg City."So hungry, Meowth..." "But we don't have any money..."The Team Rocket Trio walked down the street dejectedly. Musashi suddenly pointed at a billboard and said: "Huh?! Isn't that the little girl's father!""It really is, Meowth!" Meowth and Kojiro carefully examined it and confirmed."I remember his name is Norman!" Kojiro recalled, then pointed around, "Look!"The Team Rocket Trio turned around and saw that on everyone's hands, clothes, and even dolls were images of Norman."It's a Norman frenzy, Meowth!"Musashi's eyes lit up, revealing a mischievous smile, "Hehe! I have a great idea! We can make a fortune by taking advantage of the frenzy!"The three discussed for a while and started changing their disguises. Kojiro disguised himself as Norman and Musashi disguised herself as Caroline. In fact, the two of them looked quite similar, but what was with the blue-skinned Max and the cat-faced Miss May who was even shorter than Max?The most important thing was that the citizens actually believed them, especially an Uncle who sold vegetables personally vouched for them, saying that Norman's relatives were his neighbors. Why didn't you ask your neighbor to identify them!Now it's good. With the Uncle's guarantee, the citizens became even more crazy, and Team Rocketssuccessfully started their deceptive scheme!First, they sold Norman's autographs, and then they sold commemorative bottle caps of Norman's family, causing people to scramble for them, which successfully fattened up Team Rocket's wallets!——————————On Ash's side, he and Xiao Gang were still waiting for Miss May in the back. At this moment, two youths came up to them.The leading youth in the red clothes said arrogantly: "You are the ones who claim to be Miss May's travel companions, right! What are you doing in Petalburg City?""That's right!" Xiao Gang said their purpose without thinking, "We are here to challenge the Petalburg Gym!" Obviously, Xiao Gang didn't know the seriousness of the matter. Being a fanatic is scary. Ash wanted to stop him, but it was too late! Forget it, just treat it as gaining points. It just so happens that another Mega Evolution Stone is almost within reach!"What?" x2The red-clothed youth pointed at Ash's nose even more: "Just you? Master Norman is not an ordinary Gym Leader. It's still a million years too early to defeat Master Norman!"Ash... No, I didn't answer, why are you pointing at me???"But isn't challenging the Gym the challenger's right?!" Xiao Gang retorted."This is our rule here! In short, if you want to challenge the Gym, you have to defeat me first!" "That's right!"Ash sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's go!"The few people came to a park, "Go, Golduck!"[Golduck] [Elite Mid-Stage]"Go, Beautifly!" "Huh?! A different Beautifly?! But just being good-looking can't defeat Master Norman.""Beautifly, Silver Wind!" Beautifly flapped its wings, and a gust of Silver Wind blades attacked. "Golduck, Focus Punch!" The red-clothed youth was direct and reckless, no fancy techniques were needed at all!The consequence was that Focus Punch hadn't even been released before it was sent flying. Ash looked up at the sun in the sky and said with a smile: "Beautifly, show the results of your recent training, Solar Beam!"Beautifly's wings gathered solar energy and sent out a white beam of light towards Golduck. "Golduck, Hydro Pump!" Unfortunately, the huge water column was destroyed by the light beam and pierced through Golduck. Golduck lost its ability to battle!When the youths in the park learned that Ash was going to challenge the Petalburg Gym, they couldn't sit still!"Let me teach him a lesson!" "No, it should be me!" A line several meters long immediately formed, and they all came to challenge Ash!Ash had no choice but to send out Torkoal, Grovyle, and Ralts to battle in turns to defeat them. Although the quality was low, the quantity was large, and they all became experience packs for Ash's Pokemon! Ralts reached Elite Early Stage, and Beautifly reached Elite Late Stage!However, they were still competing fiercely and wanted to bring out new Pokemon to continue fighting!He was really too tired, (ꐦ°д°) Ash couldn't help but say angrily: "Enough! You all come at once! I'll beat you all in one go!""Okay! That's arrogant enough! Go!" Immediately, a large number of Pokemon such as Igglybuff, Shroomish, and Zangoose appeared on the field."Go! Quilava, Lava Plume!" A wide-range move directly cleared the field! "Boom~" Quilava finally accumulated enough experience and emitted a blue and white evolution light! Its body became huge, and flames emanated from its neck—Typhlosionappeared![Typhlosion][Strength: Gym Mid-Stage][Moves: Double-Edge, Gyro Ball, Inferno...]"Boom~" Typhlosion looked fiercely at those youths.Those youths couldn't help but take a step back, ╭(°A°`)╮ Don't come over!Some of them even ran away, seemingly going to get reinforcements!——————————The few youths who ran away invited Miss May, who was busking on the street. Although they said invited, they only said a sentence, and then dragged her away, and a large group of citizens who wanted to watch Miss May battle followed behind!To be continued...Asking for updates online, asking for five-star reviews, asking for support with love! Thank you for your support, brothers (｀•ω•´)ゞ Saluteっ
Chapter 67: Is Norman Having an Affair? The Family Crisis at Miss May's House"Miss May is here! Bold ruffians, cease your arrogance!" Several young men carried Miss May in front of Ash.Miss May looked at Ash awkwardly. She hadn't expected the rude Trainer they were talking about to be Ash. Wasn't this pushing her into a fire pit? Whether it was a Contests or a regular battle, it was almost impossible for her to win!The two young men who had brought Ash and his companion were even more embarrassed, as they knew Ash and his companion were Miss May's friends!Ash shook his head in disappointment. "It's truly sad that Mr. Norman has fans like you! May, do you want to battle too?"Under everyone's gaze, Miss May could only brace herself and say, "Combusken, take the stage!""Cha mo~" Combusken saw that it was battling Ash, then looked at the surrounding Pokemon. It turned its head to look at Miss May, as if asking, "Did you send me out to be defeated?" Except for the little Ralts, all the others were stronger than it!"Ralts, you go!" "Raru~""Are you looking down on Miss May?! You actually sent out the weakest one!" A young man on the side shouted."Shut up!" Miss May said angrily. The young men could only retreat silently."Combusken, Flamethrower!" "Ralts, Teleport!" The flame brushed past Ralts, and Ralts had already moved behind Combusken!"Ralts, Confusion!" "Raru~" "Oh no, Combusken, hurry and dodge!" It was too late, the blue psychic power had already controlled Combusken!"It's over! Ralts, Psybeam!" Ash didn't hold back either. A colorful beam of light flashed, "Cha mo~" With a double weakness, Combusken was defeated!"You worked hard, Combusken! As expected, I lost!" Miss May sadly recalled Combusken.Meanwhile, the citizens felt as if the sky had fallen; Miss May had actually lost! At this moment, another group of people walked over. "Huh?! Miss May, Maxare here? Then... who is the Norman family holding the autograph session over there?"The vegetable-selling Auntie roared, "What, Miss May is here too! I knew those over there were fakes!"A group of people who heard this didn't care that Miss May had lost and rushed angrily to find the fake Norman. Their faith was in Lord Norman; the others were just incidental! Ash and the others also followed.As for Team Rockets, they had already packed up and left with a sack full of money, followed by a group of fanatical fans! However, their luck wasn't good. They were caught red-handed by the vegetable-selling Auntie and her group, and the vegetable-selling Uncles chased after them. Team Rockets were surrounded!However, the vegetable-selling Auntie and the vegetable-selling Uncle were already arguing. "Mine is the real one!""Mine is the real one!""Husband, why are you running around instead of watching the stall?""I should be asking you, why did you take so long to deliver the vegetables!"Good heavens, the ones who spread the news of the real Miss May and the fake Norman were a couple!Miss May and Max were even more furious. They went up to Team Rockets and examined them carefully. "Are you my dad?" Kojiro nodded awkwardly! "Are you my mom?" Musashi also quickly nodded.Max looked at Wobbuffet, who was taller than him and had blue skin, and said speechlessly, "This is me?" "Wobbuffet~"Miss May also squatted down and looked at Meowth through gritted teeth. "Are you Miss May?" "That's right, Meow!" Meowth nodded."What kind of joke is this?! I'm the Princess! As a result, Max is even taller than me! A bunch of scoundrels!" Miss May said angrily.Ash then stepped forward. "Isn't it easy to tell the difference? Go, Poké Ball!" Ash threw an empty Poké Ball and hit Meowth!The Poké Ball sucked Meowth in! The atmosphere was silent. "Meowth!" "Miss May was captured?"Then, the Poké Ball exploded, and Meowth was seen panting with its claws extended, its disguise exposed!"So it was you! Come out, Beautifly, use Hurricane!"Beautifly flapped its wings, and a gust of wind blew, making the Team Rocket Trio's wigs fly!"What?! Fakes! Give me back my hard-earned money!" "Damn it, who are you!""Since you sincerely..."Unfortunately, Ash didn't want to listen to their rambling. "Sorry, I don't want to listen now! Typhlosion, Fire Blast!""Baoka~" A huge pillar of fire flashed, and Team Rockets were directly blasted into the sky, and the sack of money also fell down! Phew~ Ash's mood relaxed quite a bit."Satoshi, you're not playing fair again, we haven't even said our lines yet!" "Wobbuffet~ (With this level of attack, if it wasn't a sneak attack, I would have returned it to you long ago!)""That's a bad feeling!" "Wobbuffet (˃ʍ˂)~"The citizens enthusiastically surrounded Ash. "Not bad, you are qualified to challenge Lord Norman!"Unfortunately, Ash didn't want to bother with them. Do I need your recognition? No need!——————————Ash and the others rested their Pokemon at the Pokémon Center and stayed overnight. The next morning, after walking for half a day, they finally arrived at Petalburg City!Miss May and Max also finally returned to their long-lost hometown. "Yay! We're finally home! I want to show my parents my new partners!" ٩(*´◒`*)۶ Miss May cheered.Even the normally steady Max had a constant smile on his face!Everyone decided to stay at Miss May's house, the Petalburg Gym. However, Ash and the others didn't know that the atmosphere at the Petalburg Gymwas a bit strange at the moment...As Ash and the others walked in the door, a man who was sweeping the floor came up to them. "Miss May, Max, you're back!""Long time no see, Kinji! Is my dad here?" Miss Maygreeted with a smile."Uh~ Teacher is not at the Gym right now, it's just that the situation has been a bit complicated recently..." Kinji stammered and lowered his body, cautiously wanting to give them a heads-up, but before he could finish, Caroline had already come out. "May, Max, welcome home!""Mom!" x2 Miss May and Max threw themselves into Caroline's embrace."Have you been well recently?" Caroline carefully looked at Miss May and Max, and said with a smile, "You both seem to have grown taller!""Auntie Caroline, long time no see!" "Hello!" Ashand Xiao Gang greeted Caroline!"Ash, Xiao Gang, welcome! I've already made lunch, if you don't mind, let's eat together!""Yay! I haven't eaten Mom's cooking in a long time!""Then we'll trouble you!"At this moment, Max asked doubtfully, "Mom, where did Dad go?"Caroline and Kinji's expressions changed simultaneously. Kinji even swept the floor frantically to attract attention, while Caroline led everyone into the house to change the subject. However, Miss Mayhad already noticed something was wrong and frowned as she entered the house.Kinji watched as Caroline led everyone into the house and sighed helplessly. Good luck to Teacher!Ash and the others had a strange lunch. Whenever Norman was mentioned, their expressions changed. When Beautifly was mentioned, they even broke a pair of chopsticks and almost ruined a pot! Even Maxnoticed something was wrong!After lunch, Kinji secretly took everyone to the greenhouse and told them all the information, such as the suspicious relationship between Norman and Nurse Joy recently, and how he often ran to the Pokémon Center!"Ah~ With Nurse Joy!" Miss May couldn't help but widen her eyes."Does that mean Dad likes a woman other than Mom?" Max asked nervously.Kinji sighed. "Ah~ That should be right!""How is that possible?!" Miss May and Max felt like their faith was about to collapse."Let's not jump to conclusions, okay? Maybe Mr. Norman is preparing some surprise?" Ash quickly tried to mend the situation for Norman, preventing him from being beaten to death when he returned! Not to mention that he knew the plot, the words spoken by the Norman couple when he left with Miss May and Max were still fresh in his memory! How could such an affectionate couple fall in love with someone else in such a short time!"Surprise?!" x4"Okay, let's find out what Dad is up to!" Miss Maystill didn't quite believe her father was that kind of person and decided to find out!At this moment, the Team Rocket Trio, who were lost in the greenhouse, also happened to see this scene! And they had their eyes on Norman's Slakothtrio, thinking of offering them to Giovanni to get a promotion and a raise!Meanwhile, Caroline had already started packing her things, preparing to return to her parents' home, indicating that she couldn't live like this anymore!To be continued...
Chapter 68 Surprise! The Gym Tournament is finally hereChapter 68: Surprise! The Gym Match Finally Arrives"Alright! Since that's the case, of course, it's time for me, the Love Magician Xiao Gang, to make my appearance! Let's go, let's find out!" Xiao Gang stood up confidently and guaranteed.Everyone... Love Magician? Shouldn't he be the king of breakups, constantly at the top of the list of those who get dumped year-round!"Ah~ Xiao Gang, no!" "Please, don't make a big deal out of it!""Wait a minute!" Just as Xiao Gang was about to take May and the others to the Pokémon Center, Ash stopped them and looked in one direction. "Before that, let's deal with these guys who were preparing to cause trouble! Team Rockets!""What?! Team Rockets!" Everyone quickly looked towards the nearby bushes."Oh no, meow! We've been discovered!" "Hmph, who's afraid of a head-on fight!" The Team Rocket Trio jumped out of the bushes."Since you're so sincere... this is how it is, meow!" "Wobbuffet~""If you know what's good for you, hand over the Slakoth set of three and the luxury bonus Pikachu!" Musashi said arrogantly."Damn it, you guys, how dare you covet Dad's Pokemon, unforgivable! Go, Combusken, Beautifly!" May sent out her Pokemon first."Seviper, Poison Tail!" "Ah~ Cacnea, Pin Missile!" Purple Toxic surged onto Seviper's tail and attacked Combusken, while Cacnea also fired countless light needles at Beautifly!"Beautifly, Silver Wind! Combusken, Flamethrower!" The Silver Wind and red flame formed a fiery tornado, barely dispersing the attacks of the two Pokemon.May exclaimed, "So strong!" After all, one of May's two Pokemon had just reached Superior late-stage, and the other was Elite Mid-Stage, while Team Rockets' two were both Superior peak, making it a difficult fight!"Little girl, take this, Sludge Bomb!" "Solar Beam!" Purple sludge and scorching rays attacked May's two Pokemon. "Oh no, everyone quickly dodge!"Just as the Eevee on Ash's shoulder was about to put up a protective shield, a giant figure blocked in front of Beautifly and Combusken and took the attack. "Roar~""That's Dad's Slaking!" Max exclaimed.May quickly recalled Combusken and Beautifly. "Thank you, Slaking!"Slaking nodded at them, and white light condensed on his fist as he attacked Team Rockets. "It's Focus Punch!" "Oh no, meow! Slaking seems really strong, meow!"With just one punch, Slaking sent Seviper and Cacnea flying, crashing into Team Rockets and flying away together!"What a nasty feeling!" "Wobbuffet (˃ʍ˂)~""So amazing! Slaking!" May hadn't realized it before, but after traveling for a while, she finally understood how strong her dad's Slaking was!Slaking smiled and nodded at everyone, then lay down to take a break!----------After chasing away Team Rockets, Ash and the others quickly rushed to the Pokémon Center. As expected, Norman was chatting and laughing with Nurse Joy, looking very harmonious."How could this happen? Is it true?!" May and her brother said dejectedly, already imagining their mother leaving, their father finding a new love, and their originally harmonious family falling apart after their trip.Xiao Gang walked up seriously. May and Max looked at Xiao Gang hopefully, hoping he could save their disintegrating family.Xiao Gang strode forward, knelt on one knee, and grabbed Nurse Joy's hand. "Nurse Joy, in order to save a harmonious family, this humble one is willing to sacrifice himself..." Bang! Spinda jumped out and started dancing Teeter Dance, taking Xiao Gang away!Everyone (￢_￢)... shouldn't have held out hope for him!"Huh?! May, Max, you're back!" Norman said in surprise when he saw his children return.It was a bit awkward, May and Max didn't know what to say! It left Norman completely confused!Ash had no choice but to step forward and briefly explain the rumors to prevent the misunderstanding from deepening!"Huh?! I'm having an affair with Nurse Joy!" Normanexclaimed and exchanged an awkward glance with Nurse Joy."This..." Just as Norman didn't know how to explain, "Darling!" Caroline also arrived at the Pokémon Center with her luggage.Norman, who now understood the situation, knew exactly what Caroline was doing. "Caroline, I won't explain anymore, come with me, I'll show you!" Norman stepped forward, pulled Caroline, and rushed out of the Pokémon Center.Ash and the others exchanged glances and chased after them with Nurse Joy.Upon arriving in front of a large device in the Petalburg Gym's greenhouse, "What is this?!" Caroline exclaimed."Ah~ This is a surprise I prepared for our wedding anniversary! I didn't expect you to misunderstand!" Norman explained with a smile."Yes, because I have a professional fireworks license, Mr. Norman asked me to make fireworks and keep it a secret. I didn't expect it to cause a misunderstanding!" Joy also explained."Ah?!" Everyone was stunned. Fortunately, the misunderstanding was resolved, and they just had to wait until dark to enjoy the fireworks Norman had specially prepared for Caroline!As night fell, Ash and the others helped set up a sumptuous dinner outside!"It's all ready!" Nurse Joy checked the launcher and said to everyone with a smile."Get ready! Everyone, let's enjoy this beautiful fireworks display!" After speaking, Norman pressed the remote control in his hand!The launcher fired countless fireworks, which bloomed in the silent starry sky, forming the shape of a Beautifly!It turned out that when Norman proposed to Caroline, it was witnessed by the Beautifly in the flower garden. It held extraordinary significance for the two of them, a witness to their love.After dinner, Norman came over to Ash. "Ash, the Gym Match starts tomorrow! I'm really looking forward to your performance!" Earlier, Max had told Norman about Ash defeating former ChampionSteven and former Fire Elite Mula, which greatly shocked Norman and made him decide to take this Gym Match seriously!"No problem, I'll definitely win tomorrow!" "Pika~" "Eevee~"----------The next day, on the Petalburg Gym battlefield, Norman and Ash faced each other.Kinji, acting as the referee, announced, "And now, the Gym challenge match is about to begin. The number of Pokemon used is limited to three. The match ends when all of one side's Pokemon are unable to battle. During the match, only the challenger is allowed to switch Pokemon!""So nervous, who will win?" Max watched the battlefield nervously. After traveling with Ash for so long, he had long recognized Ash's strength, and Norman was known as the next Elite! Without using their main forces and with similar levels, their battle would definitely be exciting!"Alright, relax, Max! This is the first time you're watching your dad's Gym Match, I understand!" Caroline said, smiling and comforting Max."Alright! It's starting, Ash! The first Pokemon is—Slakoth!"[Slakoth] [Elite Mid-Stage]"As expected, it's Slakoth! I choose you, Beautifly!" "Whoa~"To be continued...
Chapter 69: The Abandoned Monkey VS the King of LeaveChapter 69 Annihilape VS Slaking"Wow! Such a beautiful Beautifly, its color is actually different!" Caroline exclaimed."Ash, this is a Shinny Pokemon, rarer than ordinary ones!" Max explained.Norman also praised, "I didn't expect your luck to be so good, Ash, to actually capture a ShinnyPokemon!"Last night, I was only focused on watching the fireworks and didn't notice Ash's Beautifly was actually Shinny!"Beautifly, Quiver Dance!" Beautifly lightly jumped up and performed a beautiful dance, definitely a bonus point in the Contests. Not only is it beautiful, but Beautifly's Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed were all boosted!May was stunned, "Damn it, Ash actually hid such a move! I must have Ash teach it to my Beautifly!""Slakoth, Shadow Ball!" Slakoth stood up and gathered a black Energy Ball in its hands, attacking Beautifly. "Beautifly, Double Team!" Beautifly split into countless copies, and Shadow Ball dispersed one of the shadows!Slakoth's Truant ability activated, and it immediately lay down. "Beautifly, Paralyze Powder!" Tiny specks of powder shimmered in front of Slakoth, and Slakoth successfully absorbed the Paralyze Powder! It became paralyzed!Norman's mouth twitched. Slakoth originally attacks for one turn and rests for one turn, are you still planning to let Slakoth move?"Beautifly, Solar Beam!" Beautifly gathered solar energy in its wings and shot a scorching white light towards Slakoth. Norman had already given up commanding, and Slakoth lost the ability to battle!Sigh~ From beginning to end, Slakoth only used one move and didn't even hit, I'm exhausted!"Slakoth lost the ability to battle, Beautifly wins!""Come back, Slakoth!" Norman recalled Slakoth and threw out a new Poké Ball, "I'm counting on you, Vigoroth!"It's Slakoth's second stage evolution, Vigoroth![Vigoroth] [Gym Later Stage]Vigoroth is much harder to fight than Slakoth, its ability Vital Spirit doesn't let it fall asleep!"Come back and rest, Beautifly!" Ash recalled Beautifly and said to the Eevee beside him, "I choose you, Eevee!" "Eevee~""Is it this Eevee again?" Norman frowned. Last time Eevee was here, it was only at the peak of normal level, but now it's already at Gym level, it improved too quickly!"Eevee, say hello with Quick Attack!" "Eevee~" Eevee quickly rushed towards Vigoroth. "Vigoroth, Slash!"Bang! "Eevee~" Eevee retreated to its original position!"Vigoroth, Flamethrower!" "Eevee, Nasty Plot!" The flames collided with the black energy!"Vigoroth, Hidden Power!" Vigoroth gathered six orbs of light, trapping Eevee within them!"Eevee, Dig!" Ash didn't expect Vigoroth's Hidden Power could actually attack and control! Eeveedirectly used Dig to escape the encirclement of the six orbs of light!Norman laughed, "Ash, be careful! Earthquake!"Vigoroth stomped its big foot, the ground began to shake, Boom! "Eevee~" "Oh no, Eevee, are you okay!"Just saw Eevee support its body, shake its head, and then look at Vigoroth with Fighting spirit! "Eevee~"Huh?! Earthquake's power decreased, Normanfrowned, didn't expect it didn't cause serious injury to Eevee! Could it be that strange move from before!"Vigoroth, Focus Punch!" "Eevee, Protect and then Mimic!" Eevee formed a green protective shield in front of itself, blocking Vigoroth's attack! Then gathered white light in its front paw and knocked Vigoroth away!"Vigoroth! Are you okay!" Norman said quickly. Vigoroth stood up again. Norman looked up at Ash, "I didn't expect to be tricked by this move twice in a row!""Vigoroth, use Flamethrower!" "Eevee, psychic aura!" Pink psychic power directly shattered the flames, and Vigoroth's Special Attack decreased!"Eevee, Tera Blast!" A white beam of light flashed instantly in front of Vigoroth. Norman said quickly, "Substitute!"Vigoroth created a Substitute, blocking Tera Blast!"Vigoroth, Focus Punch!" Vigoroth gathered white light in its hand. "Eevee, Veevee Volley!"Boom!! Vigoroth and Eevee stood on the field, covered in injuries. "Vigoroth, Reversal!" "Eevee, Last Resort!"Clearly Eevee was a step faster, gathered a Last Resort and flashed forward, Bang! Vigoroth fell to the ground, losing the ability to battle!"Vigoroth lost the ability to battle, Eevee wins!" "Eevee~" Eevee proudly stood on the field with its head held high."Huh?! No way! Dad actually hasn't defeated a single Pokemon of Ash's yet?" Max said disappointedly.Caroline shook her head, "Ash is very strong!"Norman took a deep breath and then looked at Ashwith Fighting spirit, "Ash! Next up is my signature Pokemon, let's go, Slaking!"Slaking appeared lying on the field, but its eyes were very sharp![Slaking] [Quasi-Heavenly King Initial Stage]"Eevee, Nasty Plot!" Slaking's Physical Attack is too high, must lower its Physical Attack before Eevee is defeated!"Slaking, Focus Punch!" Breaking through all obstacles, take down the weakened Eevee."Eevee lost the ability to battle, Slaking wins!" Meanwhile, Norman frowned, "Sure enough, that move was strange! Slaking's attack also decreased!"Ash took out Eevee's Poké Ball and recalled Eevee. Since Eevee became a partner Pokemon, it hasn't returned to its Poké Ball yet!"I choose you! Annihilape!" "Ha-cha~""What is this?" Norman asked, looking at the Pokemon that somewhat resembled Primeape.Max immediately stood up to inform him, shouting, "Dad, that's Annihilape, a Ghost and Fighting type Pokemon!"Ghost and Fighting?! Norman's mouth twitched. Isn't that a perfect counter to Normal type! Slakingnot only can't use its Fighting and Normal type moves but is also double weak to its Fighting type. What a type combination."Slaking, Earthquake!" After stomping the ground, Slaking then lay down to rest!"Annihilape, Jump up, Million Ton Kick!" "Ha-cha~" Annihilape leaped down and kicked Slaking back!"Roar~" Slaking immediately stood up and heavily pounded its chest with both fists!"Oh dear~ Slaking is getting serious!" Carolinelaughed."Slaking, Zen Headbutt!" Slaking rushed towards Annihilape. "Annihilape, Close Combat!" "Ha-cha!"Bang! "Ha-cha~" Annihilape retreated a few steps, but Slaking didn't feel good either, and its Truant ability had already activated, but Slaking was constantly trying to suppress it!"Annihilape, Mega Punch!" "Ha-cha~""Slaking, Grab Annihilape!" "Roar~" Slaking actually directly grabbed Annihilape's fist, "Well done! Slaking, Throw it!"Slaking threw Annihilape away, and it crashed heavily onto the ground. Annihilape supported its body and stood up to fight again!"Slaking, Fire Punch!" "Roar~" Slaking's fist gathered flames and attacked Annihilape!"Annihilape, Burst forth! Reversal!"Annihilape rushed forward and clashed with Slaking, Bang bang bang! Boom! "Ha-cha~" Annihilape actually broke through to the peak of Gym level in an instant!"Roar~" Slaking let out a roar at Annihilape and then fell down unwillingly. "Ha-cha~" Annihilapeknelt on one knee, supporting its body with one hand and heavily panting. If it hadn't broken through at the last moment, it would have been the one to fall!"Slaking lost the ability to battle, Annihilape wins, the winner is the challenger Ash!"To be continued...
Chapter 70: The Arrival of Professor OakChapter 70: The Arrival of Professor OakMax immediately stood up, "Dad really lost!"Ash stepped forward to help Annihilape up, "Thank you, Annihilape!" "Hacha~" Annihilape patted its chest with its hand!"Ash, this match was truly spectacular! Here! This is proof that you defeated me—the Balance Badge!" Norman recalled Slaking and stepped forward to hand over the badge!"Thank you, Mr. Norman!" Ash took the badge, struck a pose, and held it up, "I got the Balance Badge!" "Pika~" "Hacha~"Max didn't show any dissatisfaction, just disbelief that his father had lost all three matches![Ding~ Obtained Balance Badge, reward: 1000 points]——————————In Petalburg City, Ash swapped out his Pokemon, but this time Professor Oak wasn't there; Traceymade the swap for Ash.Ash's team: Pikachu, Eevee, Bulbasaur, Lairon, Torkoal, Grovyle, Croconaw, BeautiflySeveral returning Pokemon pounced into Ash's arms, "Long time no see, everyone!" "Dana~" "Wani~" "Ke~"Having obtained his fifth badge, Ash's group said goodbye to the Norman couple and planned to head towards Fortree City as scheduled. However, before that, they took a detour to Littleroot Town, preparing to visit Dr. Odamaki.Just as everyone was about to leave the Forest and arrive at Littleroot Town, boom!! A pickup truck rushed down from the hillside, performing a perfect drift in front of Ash and the others. The driver was none other than Dr. Odamaki, "Hi! Everyone, long time no see! What brings you here?""Ash just got the Balance Badge from Dad!" Mayanswered enthusiastically, "So before we left, we wanted to come and visit you!"Dr. Odamaki nodded upon hearing this, "I see, I happen to be going to the port to pick up Professor Oak!""Professor Oak!!" (✧∇✧)"So Professor Oak is in Hoenn, no wonder he wasn't at the Yamako Research Institute before!""But because I was too engrossed in field research, I forgot the time. Now I'm taking a shortcut to get there!" Dr. Odamaki scratched his head awkwardly, "Alright, I can't chat anymore. This is my first time meeting Professor Oak, I need to hurry over!"Ash and Xiao Gang decided to ride in Dr. Odamaki's car to pick up Professor Oak, while May and Maxwent to Dr. Odamaki's Yamako Research Institutefirst!However, at one point on a cliffside, Dr. Odamaki, who was driving, had a professional habit kick in and actually greeted a Skarmory! Ash quickly reminded him, "Be careful, Dr. Odamaki, there's a flatbed cart ahead!"Seeing that they were about to collide, the Korrina's grandfather pulling the cart showed no panic, he must be a hidden expert! But Dr. Odamaki panicked! He quickly made a sharp turn and went around.Ash looked back and saw Professor Oak lying on the straw, wearing a cowboy hat and sleeping soundly, "Wait, Dr. Odamaki! Look, isn't that Professor Oak!""Huh?! It really is!" Xiao Gang glanced and confirmed.Dr. Odamaki quickly braked and turned towards the flatbed cart, "Professor Oak~" "Professor Oak~""Hmm~" Professor Oak opened his eyes and saw Dr. Odamaki's car, "Oh! So you've come to pick me up!"Professor Oak quickly signaled to get off the cart and waited by the roadside for Dr. Odamaki's car, "I'm really sorry, Professor Oak! I was too absorbed in my research and didn't keep track of the time!" Dr. Odamaki apologized."Haha~ I understand, I understand you!" Professor Oak replied, then said to Ash and Xiao Gang, "Long time no see! Ash and Xiao Gang! Pikachu and Eeveealso look very energetic!""Long time no see, Professor Oak!" "Pika~" "Eevee~"Afterwards, Professor Oak got into Dr. Odamaki's car and arrived at Dr. Odamaki's Yamako Research Institute!Meanwhile, May and Max were helping Dr. Odamaki's assistant take care of Hoenn's Initial Three! When they saw Professor Oak arrive, they were so excited they didn't know what to say!Max fumbled to take out several photos and asked Professor Oak for his autograph. Professor Oakhappily agreed.Professor Oak came to learn and exchange ideas with Dr. Odamaki and also brought Kanto's Initial Three: Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle!The exclusive Initial Three of each region are already rare in their own region, let alone in other regions! However, Ash has already gathered the Initial Three from three regions!This made Max incredibly excited, and he happily mingled with the six starter Pokemon. Even Mayseemed to have a good relationship with Bulbasaur!As for Professor Oak~ "Oh! Pikachu, Eevee, let me see!" "Pika~" "Eevee~" He was chasing Pikachu and Eevee all over the yard, wanting to thoroughly research the differences in partner Pokemon.This scene was naturally targeted by the Team Rocket Trio again, who fantasized about Giovannigetting angry at his idiotic subordinates, then seeing the six Initial Three they presented, recalling his youthful passion, and then rewarding them, making promotions and raises not just a dream!They decisively took action, debuting in their Skiploom robot built with all their savings!Boom!! "Is that a Skiploom? It's so big!" Mayexclaimed."No, it's Team Rockets!""Wahahaha~ Since you asked so sincerely... that's how it is, Meow!" "Wobbuffet~""Team Rockets, you really are persistent!""Haha, Satoshi, let me tell you, this time it's made of extremely strong alloy, resistant to electricity, fire, and water! We are invincible!!""Is that so? Torkoal, Overheat! Croconaw, Ice Beam! Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"Torkoal spewed scorching flames, heating the robot red. Croconaw's icy blue beam froze it, and finally, Pikachu's Thunderbolt blasted the robot to smithereens!Boom!!! "Ah! Our hard-earned savings are gone.""All gone, Meow!""We'll be eating dirt again tomorrow!""What a nasty feeling!" "Wobbuffet (˃ʍ˂)~"Ash watched the Team Rockets turn into a shooting star, sigh~ Such a big robot wasted, Team Rocketsin my previous life would definitely be top-notch scientific researchers!In the afternoon, Ash's group stayed at Dr. Odamaki's Yamako Research Institute. Professor Oak only researched the partner skills of Eevee and Pikachu.In the evening, Ash's group said goodbye to Professor Oak and took the last boat from Littleroot Town's port towards Fortree City.——————————After Ash's group got off the boat, they plunged into the Forest again, rested for a night at a PokemonCenter in the Forest, and continued their journey towards Fortree City through the Forest!On the way, May asked Ash for advice on practicing Quiver Dance. Ever since May saw Ash's Beautiflyperform Quiver Dance, she couldn't forget it!To be continued...
Chapter 71 Team up with Xiaoyao for doublesChapter 71: Teaming Up with May for a Double Battle"You can do it! Beautifly!" "Whoosh~" May's Beautifly was seriously learning Quiver Dance with Ash's Beautifly.Along the way, the two butterflies danced gracefully, attracting the attention of many people and Pokémon onlookers!Just then, a gorgeously dressed couple came up to Ash and the others. "Excuse us, are these two Beautifly yours? Their Quiver Dance is truly amazing!""They belong to me and Ash!" May replied. "Thank you! Hello, my name is May!""My name is Oscar!" "And my name is Andrew!""Hello everyone! I am Ash from Pallet Town!" "Pika~" "Eevee~""My name is Max!"Xiao Gang, meanwhile, was sending heart eyes towards the girlfriend. "This humble one is called Xiao Gang!" Then, bang! Spinda ran out and pulled Xiao Gang back!"We admire your bond very much, so we have something to ask of you. Please accept our challenge!" The two said in perfect sync, as if by telepathy."Our bond?" May asked, pointing to herself and then to Ash."Alright! We accept the challenge!" Ash immediately agreed.May looked at Ash and went through a whole series of imaginative scenarios, even though Ash only wanted to have a battle."Huh~ May, what's wrong? Do you not agree?" Ashsaid to May.May shivered, then lowered her head and said, "I agree!"However, no one noticed anything unusual, and the couple explained the rules. "What we're proposing isn't a regular battle! It's a double battle, where each person can only use one Pokémon to test the teamwork between the two of you!""No problem, bring it on!" Ash replied, turning to May and saying, "Right, May!"May also cheered herself on, "That's right!"Before anyone could stop him, Xiao Gang darted forward and grabbed Andrew's hand. "In that case, let this humble one, a genius Pokémon Breeder and a fan of Princess, be the referee!"Everyone...Andrew looked at Oscar in confusion. Are we that famous? We already have fans!"If you're going to be the referee, do it properly, don't let people misunderstand!" Max couldn't stand it. He activated his ear-twisting technique and, together with Spinda, dragged Xiao Gang away.Xiao Gang had no choice but to snap back to reality and honestly serve as the referee, announcing the rules.Ash and May used their two little butterflies, while Oscar and Andrew surprisingly had Nidoking and Nidoqueen, which really suited a couple's Pokémon.Both sides were at the Superior Late Stage in strength. From a type perspective, the combination of their two types meant they didn't have a double weakness against each other. However, Ground-type moves were ineffective against Beautifly, so Ash and May still had a slight advantage."Beautifly, Quiver Dance!" x2, Ash and May seemed to have reached an agreement, strengthening themselves in unison!The two Beautifly danced lightly, strengthening themselves!"As expected, you two have excellent teamwork!" "That's right, but we're not bad either!" "Use the Double Rock Slide of Love!"For Beautifly, which is quadruple weak to Rock, Rock-type moves are naturally the best!Rolling rubble attacked the two Beautifly. "May, I'll block them, you take the opportunity to attack!" "No problem!""Protect!" "Beautifly, Hurricane!"Ash's Beautifly created a green shield in front to block the rubble, while May's Beautifly unleashed a gust of wind that hit Nidoking and Nidoqueen."Nido~" x2"Nidoking (or Nidoqueen), are you alright!""Ash and May are coordinating very well!" Xiao Gang nodded in approval."Yeah! Their teamwork is great!" Then Max thought, Ash isn't going to become my brother-in-law, is he? It's not impossible... Thinking this, Max quickly shook his head. How did I get off-topic!"Nidoking (or Nidoqueen)'s Double Fire Punch of Love!!""Safeguard!" "Beautifly, Aerial Ace!"Ash's Beautifly began putting up a shield for May's Beautifly, while May's Beautifly charged forward!Bang!! "May, cover me!" "Yes!""Solar Beam!" "Beautifly, spin Silver Wind to control the field!"Ash's Beautifly gathered solar energy in its wings, while May's Beautifly used Silver Wind to control Nidoking (or Nidoqueen). A scorching beam of light flashed! Both Nidoking and Nidoqueen lost their ability to battle!"Nidoking (or Nidoqueen)!!""Nidoking and Nidoqueen are unable to battle, Beautifly wins! The winners are the Ash and Mayteam!""Yay! We won!" In her excitement, May actually hugged Ash directly. Everyone's eyes turned towards her!May awkwardly let go, her face flushed as she lowered her head.Xiao Gang, meanwhile, nodded thoughtfully, preparing to sell the information to Misty. Maybe he could get the out-of-print photobook of the Cerulean Gym Leaders he had been longing for!!Andrew and Oscar recalled their Pokémon, then came hand in hand to Ash and the others. "Your cooperation is truly excellent! We lost! But our love is invincible!"Andrew seemed to have said something to May, causing May to keep glancing at Ash."Goodbye, you two lovely people with such a good bond!" Andrew and Oscar ran off hand in hand!——————————In a certain dense Forest, it was dark under the thick canopy! Bulbasaur, Croconaw, and Lairon were carrying Macho Braces and battling the Pokémon that suddenly jumped out, improving their strength.At the same time, Ash also gave the only two remaining Primary Rare Candies to Grovyle and Torkoal, who had been accumulating power for a long time, helping them break through to Gym Leader Early Stage and learn Giga Drain and Fire Blast moves respectively!"Da-na" Bulbasaur sent a Zigzagoon flying with a Vine Whip, watching helplessly as the strength of its new partners continuously increased, while its own improvement was slow, almost being surpassed!"Ah! Crap, the Pokémon Navigator has no signal!" Max suddenly exclaimed.Xiao Gang also frowned and said, "The compass is also malfunctioning, and this Forest doesn't seem to be on the map!"May instantly felt creeped out. She originally wanted to move closer to Ash, but seeing how calm Ash was, she had no choice but to take out a Poké Ball. "Come out, Skitty!""Meow~"May squatted down and picked up Skitty. Holding Skitty, May's heart felt much calmer.But suddenly, Skitty jumped out of May's arms and dashed into a small bush nearby."Ah! Skitty, where are you going!" May called out and chased after Skitty, but what she didn't know was that direction led straight into the depths of the Forest!!"Princess?" Max called out."Ah!!!" "May!" x2 "Princess!"Ash recalled his Pokémon, and the three of them quickly went forward to check the situation!To be continued...Seeking updates, five-star reviews, and support with love online!
