Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

To be fair, Homiga himself is quite good; he's powerful and has a bold personality…

Most importantly, it floats on green water~

"Let's begin! I'm Homiga from Unsei City, and the first thing I'll use is... the Wheelball!"

The two sides stood at the sidelines, and the white-haired girl immediately and excitedly sent out her vanguard.

Bug-type Pokémon from the Unova region are extremely rare in Kanto.

"I'm Ash from Pallet Town. The Pokémon I need... Pinsir, come stretch your muscles." Ash sent out his large stag beetle, which he had recently brought back from the Fighting Gym.

During his travels, Ash will keep a close eye on all the items he holds, and if he notices that they start to get restless, he will arrange a way to deal with them.

For Dajia, the most suitable way to relieve stress is undoubtedly to prove its strength through battle!

"Hurry up and attack!" Homiga grinned maliciously. "I'm going to use my wheelball technique to destroy your rationality!"

"Pinnachi, Swords Dance!" Ash, who was the first to attack, made Pinnachi create a powerful airflow around itself, instantly increasing its attack power.

"Wheelball, highly poisonous!" Homiga commanded the Wheelball to spray a spray of purple venom, which spread along the ground towards the armored giant!

"Block it with the stone blades!" Da Jia slammed his fist on the ground, and the stone pillars that sprang up one after another easily blocked the attack of the venom.

"Don't you know that the Poison-type Pokémon's Toxic is guaranteed to hit?!" Homiga shouted excitedly, and the venom of the Wheelball suddenly split to both sides, continuing to entangle Pinsir.

"Of course I know, but it takes time to hit! Big Armor, melee!"

"Hah!" Ignoring the venom chasing behind him, the armored giant leaped forward, using the stone pillars it had created to pounce forward and punch the wheelball directly!

"Oh no... Rollerball, hurry up and roll to create distance!"

"Don't give it that chance! Use the Stone Blade to block the movement!"

Having experienced the power of the giant armor's fist, Homiga immediately commanded the wheel ball to start rolling around the field, but the giant armor slammed its fists into the ground repeatedly, summoning a cluster of stone pillars that blocked the wheel ball's movement space!

"A massive shock!"

"For the wheel ball, just use the missile pin!"

Boom! !

The unavoidable wheel-shaped ball, while rolling, directly launched several missiles that collided violently with the large armor.

After a violent earthquake, the giant armor that landed was finally enveloped in the deadly poison, but the wheel ball had already started spinning in circles!

Chapter 140 VS Homiga, Ash is also a Poison-type Trainer~

"Rollerball, actually..."

Homiga was stunned as he retrieved the ball, completely unprepared for his opponent's fierce and valiant attack!

"That Wheelball must have a rare acceleration ability, right?" Ash asked with a confident smile. "That's why you chose to use Rollout to stall for time instead of forcing a direct attack with Pinsir."

Pokémon with the Speed-Up ability gain a speed boost after each turn. If a Wheelball can stall for even a moment, it will quickly become unpredictable.

Unfortunately, Ash saw through Homiga's tactics and had Pinsir deliver a violent finish.

That said, considering the future development of the Great Beetle, its training in basic attacks may even surpass that of the Insectoids.

"I didn't expect you to know this. I lost the first battle." Homiga quickly recovered and threw out a second Poké Ball. "But... this guy isn't so easy to deal with! Rip-Bag!"

Homiga's second creature is a sentient garbage bag, similar to the Kanto Mud. When wild, it is unbearably toxic and foul-smelling, but once captured, it can freely control its toxicity and body odor.

"Tinker, keep up the Swords Dance!" Ash had no intention of replacing him; the battle just now was only enough for Tinker to warm up.

As for the poison... can't you just finish off your opponent before the time limit expires?

"Your enhancement won't work! Ripped Bag, Cleanse Smoke!" Ripped Bag opened its mouth and spewed out thick, muddy smoke, so wide that it covered the entire area!

"Ignore it, charge in and use melee!"

Clear Smoke is also a guaranteed hit skill. In addition to inflicting poison damage, its main function is to reset the opponent's ability changes back to their original state.

However, Ash's Pinsir has the Mighty Claw ability, meaning its Attack Rank cannot be lowered in any way!

Bang!

To Homiga's astonishment, Big Armor punched the broken bag in the stomach, deforming its entire body!

"Damn it... the broken bag, quickly use Venom Impact!"

The tattered bag opened its mouth and sprayed out a spray of venom, which directly drenched the armored creature.

The doubled damage from the poisoned state meant that this attack clearly caused significant harm to the Great Armor.

"Use Stone Edge!" However, neither Ash nor Pinsir would back down because of a mere injury. Pinsir suddenly slammed its fist into the ground, and the bulging stone pillar pierced through the body of the broken bag. This attack even hit a vital spot!

"Broken Bag... Don't give up! Use all your trash-shooting power!!"

The broken bag, suspended in mid-air, was already nearing its physical limit, but Homiga was not one to give up easily. She rapidly flicked her fingers to play an exciting rhythm, and the broken bag also mustered its strength to unleash its final attack!

"Want to face it head-on...? Then let's go! Giga Impact!!" Sensing Pinsir's high fighting spirit, Ash decided to let it go all out!

"Whoa!!" Da Jia roared excitedly, shooting into the sky like a comet!

It was enveloped in a tangible aura, and with its steel-like horns, it pierced through the oncoming poison ball, finally crashing heavily into the broken bag!

Boom! !

After a violent explosion, Po Po Dai lost consciousness mid-air.

Dajia, on the other hand, carried it under its arm and landed back on the ground together. Although it swayed slightly, it still remained upright.

"This... tattered bag, thank you so much for your trouble..." Homi quickly put the tattered bag away. "To suffer two complete defeats, that's really embarrassing..."

She kicked the dirt on the field with her toes, looking dejected, but quickly regained her composure.

"Well, I guess I'm just not as good as them. And thank you for bringing back the tattered bag... Oh, by the way, here, this can help with the poison." Homiga smiled brightly again, pulled a peach from his pocket, and tossed it to Dajia.

"scare…"

"Take it, but don't forget to thank them." Seeing the giant tortoise turn around and look at him, Ash smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Wow!" Dajia gratefully patted Homiga's chest before eating the sweet peach.

"Hey, your Pokémon is really good! This is the first time I've ever lost so badly." Homika skipped over to Ash. "Are all trainers in Kanto as good as you?"

“There are definitely a lot of strong trainers out there. If you’re interested, you can travel around and see for yourself,” Ash said with a smile. “In Fuchsia City, which isn’t far from here, the Gym Leader is also a Poison-type Trainer. And if you have enough time, you can also consider collecting badges here to participate in the League Conference in four months.”

"I definitely want to visit the Poison-type Gym... but collecting the badges is out of the question. I'm here specifically for sightseeing, and I'll be leaving soon." Homiga pouted helplessly. "I came straight to Dark City after disembarking from Binu, hoping to encounter the Poison-type Pokémon unique to this area..."

"You came all the way to the Dark City specifically to find a Poison-type Pokémon?" Ash was taken aback.

“Yeah, I heard there are some here~” Homiga said matter-of-factly, “The Poison-type Pokémon in Kanto also live in heavily polluted areas, like my hometown, Lishui City. But Dark City is basically just a small town with hardly any buildings, so where would the pollution come from!”

"Um...is it possible that the place you want to go...is actually Black Cloud City?"

"What did you say?" Homiga's eyes widened instantly. "Black clouds, darkness...aren't those two places the same thing?!"

"Of course not, it's quite different~" Xiao Lan suddenly handed over the map with a grin.

By the way, the straight-line distance between Black Cloud City and Dark City is roughly half a gate...

"Holy crap... I made a mistake!" Homiga slapped his forehead hard... Seriously, this is bad for your hairline~

"I knew it! I haven't encountered a single gas bomb or Arbok here!"

Hearing her say that, Ash remembered that Homiga did indeed have a super powerful Koffing, and it was said that it was captured in Kanto.

It seems that this is what she gained from this trip.

"Anyway, Black Cloud City is in the heart of Kanto, so you'll have to head north from here," Ash instructed. "Of course, taking a vehicle will be much faster."

"Great! Thank you so much! Oh, right!" Homiga said happily, then pulled a box out of her backpack.

"Here, take this. I was thinking of giving it to them if they could help me find a Poison-type Pokémon in Kanto."

She flicked open the lid with her slender fingers, revealing a lump of mud inside that emitted a strange smell.

Black sludge!

It seems this is the treasure that the management sprite detected earlier.

"Let me make this clear first, I'm a Poison-type Trainer, and this is my most prized possession." Perhaps worried that Ash wouldn't like it, Homika quickly explained, "Although it doesn't taste very good, it's actually quite good for Poison-type Pokémon..."

"I didn't say I didn't like it," Xiao Zhi said gratefully, smiling as he accepted it. "It was just a pleasant surprise, and it happens to be useful to me."

As he spoke, Ash summoned Bulbasaur and placed the black sludge at the base of its flower bud.

The ultimate item for Bulbasaur should be the Mega Stone, but at this stage, improving its survivability is also a good option.

"Isn't this one of the starter Pokémon from Kanto? So you're a Poison-type trainer too!" The white-haired girl's eyes lit up.

"That's right..."

Seeing Bulbasaur and immediately associating it with the Poison type, Homiga is indeed a die-hard Poison fan.

However, it's not wrong to say that Ash is a Poison-type trainer; he is indeed quite skilled at training this type of Pokémon.

Of Kanto's twelve wielders, he has captured the most poison-type creatures.

Chapter 141 Songzao Town, the Reunion of Two Groups

Ash gained quite a lot from this trip to the Dark City.
