Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

At this moment, the large group of Treecko had surrounded the Treecko that had previously battled Ash.

The elderly gecko, the leader, walked shakily to the fallen gecko and tried to pull it away.

But the tree grub suddenly snorted and shook off its hand.

"Chima!"

"Squeak~, squeak~"

……

The old treetill said something to the young boy earnestly, and then the two treetills suddenly started arguing.

"Hey, everyone, calm down and don't fight." Xiao Sheng tried frantically to mediate, but it was no use. The old man and the young man argued even more fiercely.

"Ash, can you understand what the Treeckoes are saying?" May looked at the noisy Sceptiles in confusion and immediately thought of Ash's amazing ability.

Unfortunately, Ash shook his head.

"Can't understand."

Although Ash can sense emotions, his aura can only communicate directly with creatures that also possess powerful auras.

However, Ash never worries about not being able to understand what Pokémon are saying.

He took out a Poké Ball, clasped his hands together, and shouted.

"Spiritual communication!"

With a whoosh, a white mist suddenly billowed out, and the Eight Treasure Porridge was summoned.

"What's the matter."

"turn."

"clear."

The two of them now have such a strong understanding that they don't need to say anything extra; Babaozhou will automatically translate for them.

"Wow, Ash, you can even do something like that!" May was amazed by how cool Ash looked when he clapped his hands together to summon Suicune.

Ash immediately shook his head modestly.

"Relax, isn't this just a small thing that every Pokémon Trainer can do?"

Xiaoyao: "No way!"

However, Kakashi wasn't so calm when he saw Suicune.

"Wow, it really is Suicune!"

Like any other child, Kashin was so happy to see Suicune that his eyes lit up and he jumped on Suicune.

The aloof demeanor that Eight Treasure Porridge had deliberately maintained after its appearance was completely shattered.

"Hey, who is this kid?!"

“It’s my new companion. It’s okay, don’t worry about it, let him hold it. The most important thing now is to figure out why those two geckos are arguing.”

"Hey brat, you absolutely mustn't mess up my mane, you know that!"

Unfortunately, Kakashi was so excited that he was clinging to Suicune's back that he couldn't hear anything.

Helpless, Babaozhou could only carry him to the gecko.

The two geckos were still arguing, and both of them, one old and one young, were getting a little impatient and started pushing and shoving each other.

"Squeak, squeak~"

“Yes, that’s what Elder Wood Gecko said.”

"What are you doing? This giant tree is completely dead. If you don't move to another tree soon, you won't be able to survive!"

But the roguish and handsome Kikyo suddenly became excited.

"Squeak, squeak!"

"Then another guy with an arrogant tone retorted."

"It said that the tree is not completely dead yet, that I was born under the tree and grew up under its protection."

"So this time it's my turn to protect it. No matter what happens, I will protect it to the very end..."

"Wow, what a loyal friend! I like you!"

Suicune's calm aura is very powerful against ordinary Pokémon. After it howled and attracted the attention of all Treeckoes, the two Treeckoes could no longer continue arguing.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, Elder Treekia could only shake his head helplessly and leave with the other Treekia.

The Treecko that had previously fought Ash turned around without a word and jumped up to the top of the tree once again.

"So that's why Treecko didn't want to leave. Ash, are you going to catch other Treeckoes?"

"No, I've already decided, this guy is my partner!"

He's powerful, has a temper, and yet possesses such a good character.

"Even if you are ostracized by the entire clan, you will still firmly protect your homeland...?" Ash is growing to like it more and more.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "The Lone Wanderer: Treecko": Please win the heart of the Treecko and capture it!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +4000; Special Attack +1; Speed ​​+1; Silver Crown +1]

[Ding! Extremely strong bond power detected in Treecko. Capturing it will trigger a hidden quest.]

Chapter 358 Seed of Miracle

May was shocked to see that Ash actually intended to catch this Treecko.

"But Treecko refuses to leave in order to protect the giant tree, Ash, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm..." Ash pondered, raising his hand, and a blue light instantly shone from his palm.

He sensed the waveguide energy emanating from the tree and an idea immediately formed in his mind.

"Xiaoyao, let's set up camp in this big pit tonight and keep the gecko company for the night."

Although she didn't understand what Ash wanted to do, May could only agree since he had already said so.

That night, all the other Treeckoes had already left, but the roguish Treecko remained perched high up in the tree.

It glanced at the moon in the sky and then at the giant tree beneath it, revealing a rare tenderness in its eyes.

Treecko nimbly jumped down from the tree and unexpectedly discovered Ash and his friends camping at the bottom of the tree.

Then it pretended not to see it, turned around and went deep into the forest to bring back a large pile of leaves, which it carefully piled up at the base of the tree.

The gecko is using this method to protect this giant tree that has lost its vitality, providing it with nutrients, hoping that it will one day regain its vitality.

Just then, the tree-shaped gecko seemed to hear a sound and immediately turned its head.

It turned out to be Ash and Pikachu, who were also carrying a pile of leaves as they approached it.

Without saying much, Ash simply followed the example of Treecko and piled leaves at the base of the tree.

Treecko stared at Ash for a moment, then picked up the branch again and continued tidying up the pile of leaves at the base of the tree.

[Ding! Wood Gecko: Affection +2]

At that moment, Ash suddenly spoke up: "Treetle, you love this big tree that gave birth to you, don't you?"

“…, Jimo.” It nodded coolly.

"Yes, after all, it's a place that holds all my memories from childhood to adulthood, just like a mother, it's hard to let go of."

"But it has almost no life left and will only wither away day by day. What you are doing now is actually a waste of time."

"Squeak, squeak!"

Perhaps stimulated by the cruel truth revealed by Ash, Treecko suddenly became agitated.

But then Ash took Treecko's hand and used Aura to connect it to the giant tree.

Gradually, the tree spirit saw a series of memories.

A seed fell from the sky and landed on this once barren land.

This seed took root and sprouted, eventually growing into a towering tree. Then it blossomed, bore fruit, and dropped its seeds...

Having gone through the cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter, it has nurtured the entire forest.

Countless lives were born from it and departed from it, and eventually even it came to the end of its life due to an accident.

At the same time, the tree spirit saw its own reflection, that small figure that stubbornly and clumsily tried day after day to save the giant tree that had completely withered away.

"Wood gecko, the tree's life has faded, but this is its last expression of affection for you. The giant tree is also thanking you for protecting it all this time."

"Squeaking..."

Not only is Treecko protecting the giant tree, but the giant tree is also worried about Treecko, which is why it responded to Ash's call.

At that moment, a glowing seed suddenly fell from the giant tree, which had been completely bare, and landed in the hand of the tree spirit.

Upon seeing the seed, Xiao Sheng suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"That's the Miracle Seed!"

"What is it?"

"Silly sister, it's that legendary magical item that, when given to a Pokémon, increases the power of its Grass-type moves."

"It is extremely rare, and no one knows how to obtain it. It turns out that it was born from this kind of giant tree."

"Hmph, humans are so ignorant. I already knew about this."

"Really? Then can you tell me about the other ways in which these amazing items are created, great Suicune-sama!"

Shojin, who usually loves watching Pokémon battles, was naturally extremely curious about this kind of thing.

If he could get more information out of Suicune, wouldn't he be able to rewrite the history of Pokémon battles?

But in reality, Eight Treasure Porridge knows nothing; it's just pretending to be cool.

"Well, that depends on how you perform, kid."

Mingming's heart nearly skipped a beat when Xiaosheng asked it other questions, but it still managed to get away with it thanks to its thick skin.
