By the time Ash returned to the Pokémon Center, Misty, who had long since changed her clothes, was waiting for him.
"Ash, you're back. Nurse Joy has a Pokémon here that she needs you to take a look at."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Nurse Joy then walked over holding a Psyduck and said, "Look for yourself, it's this child. It seems like it's still suffering from a headache."
Looking at the Psyduck Nurse Joy brought over, Ash locked eyes with it. Psyduck just stared back at Ash, occasionally letting out a sound.
"Psy? Psy."
Looking at this Psyduck, Ash silently held his hand out toward Meowth. Meowth immediately understood and brought over a piece of apple. And when Ash placed the apple in front of Psyduck's eyes, this guy's eyes remained completely glued to the apple, tracking it flawlessly as Ash moved his hand.
Finally, Ash handed the apple to Psyduck, looked at Misty and Nurse Joy, and said, "This guy... how do I put this... its IQ has some problems."
"..." x2
"Although I hate to say it, even among the headache-prone Psyducks, this guy is an absolute specimen... in terms of intelligence." Saying this, Ash rubbed Psyduck's head, and this guy actually nudged comfortably against his hand.
"The likely cause for this condition is that its psychic powers are incredibly strong, but that just ended up making its head hurt even more, to the point of suppressing its IQ."
"..." x2
Nurse Joy's mouth twitched. For Ash to outright say its IQ had problems, this Psyduck truly was a rare specimen. Ash continued rubbing Psyduck's head and said, "If this guy isn't adopted by an incredibly good-tempered trainer, I'm afraid just staying alive would be a challenge. If a bad-tempered trainer adopts it, it's highly likely it would be turned into duck stew."
Drip, drop.
Psyduck drooled as it stared at Ash. Ash helplessly wiped its drool away and said, "You silly child, the one getting turned into soup would be you." Saying that, Ash looked at the still-drooling Psyduck and almost cried at how stupid it was. It was a miracle this child had survived up until now.
"Psy! Psy!"
After waiting for Ash to finish wiping its drool, Psyduck looked at the Luxury Ball on Ash's waist and tapped it lightly. The Luxury Ball enlarged, and Psyduck tapped the button again. With a flash of red light, it was directly caught.
"?" x N
Meowth watched this scene, opened his mouth, and finally could only say, "It truly is a miracle that it's still alive."
"Pika pi." (It surpasses a miracle.)
"Lucky." (Papa Ash is almost brought to tears by its stupidity.)
Lusamine and Nurse Joy watched this scene speechlessly. At the same time, they finally understood just how serious the "IQ problem" Ash had mentioned really was.
Looking at his Luxury Ball, Ash silently let Psyduck out. And Psyduck still stared at Ash with that look in its eyes.
"Psy?"
"Psyduck, you are my Pokémon now, understand?"
"Psy?"
Looking at the highly confused Psyduck, Ash couldn't bear it and turned his head away. He then chopped up some fruit and placed the pieces on the ground one by one. This guy, Psyduck, just picked them up and ate them one by one, until it walked right up to Ash and stared at the apple in his hand.
Ash was truly brought to tears by its sheer stupidity. He hugged Psyduck and said, "Alright, kid, just follow me from now on. Your stupidity really makes me want to cry!"
"Psy?"
Seeing Psyduck still looking like it knew absolutely nothing, the trainers present all shed tears. This duck was really too stupid!
In the end, this adorably stupid Psyduck was thus caught by Ash. Right now, the Pokémon Ash had by his side were: the Poké Ball-refusing Pikachu and Meowth; Chansey; Kirlia; Pidgeot; the Beedrill capable of Bond Evolution; Charmeleon who was ready to evolve again; the constantly training Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Primeape; and the Psyduck that could make Ash cry from its stupidity. As for Ash's Dragonite and Tentacruel, the Dragonite was still by Ash's side, while the Tentacruel had long been sent back to Professor Oak's place for nutritional supplements after Lusamine and the others went back. After all, the Tentacruel was enlarged by the Team Rocket trio using something, so its nutrition was somewhat lacking.
"By the way, Ash, you looked really handsome dressed as a gentleman earlier."
"Misty, you didn't look bad as my female companion either. So, how were the people from the Pokémon Fan Club?"
"They are all very nice people. It turns out they really love Pokémon."
"Otherwise, why would it be called the Pokémon Fan Club?"
Watching Ash and Misty completely leave the district, Meowth couldn't help but say, "Boss, we seem to have forgotten someone, right?"
"Forgotten who?" They both asked in unison.
"Brock!"
Watching the two who had just remembered Brock, Meowth shook his head speechlessly.
Meanwhile, inside the Fitness Paradise of the Continental Hotel, a bunch of bodybuilding big brothers and big sisters were sweating profusely. Of course, their terrifying muscles were constantly flexing and stretching.
Brock, trembling like a weak little chick, was surrounded by a gang of Machokes undergoing intense physical torture.
"Ash! Misty! Come save me! This feels worse than seeing a doctor!!"
