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

Ash's ninth Pokémon, a pseudo-legendary in Kanto, is Dragonite!

"Congratulations, Ash, you've caught a Dragonite!" Brock immediately stepped forward to congratulate you.

"It will be a great partner." Ash nodded with a smile, throwing out the Poké Ball. "Come on, Dragonite!"

"Whoosh~" The huge figure had just leaped out of the ball when it immediately hugged Ash tightly.

"But at the same time, I'm very clingy to you~" Xiao Gang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

"It's time for us to leave." Ash turned to the giant ancient Pokémon. "Dragonite, you'll stay here from now on, with the dragons here. I'll also do my best to keep this island's secrets so you can continue to live peacefully!"

"Woo~" The giant Dragonite let out a grateful cry; it now absolutely trusted Ash's words.

It was already very grateful to Ash for helping it find its kin, and after what just happened, it felt even more guilty towards Ash. Now it clearly considers him an important friend!

"Then let's say goodbye here, everyone~" Ash and Brock climbed onto Dragonite's back together, waving goodbye to the dragons on the island. "If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come to see you all again!"

"Whoosh!" *N

On Dragonite Island, receding into the distance behind them, the giant Dragonite, along with its entire clan, let out a long, drawn-out roar!

There will be a period later!

Chapter Thirty-Six: Kuye Harbor, VS Jasmine

Konoha City, an international port city in the Kanto region.

When Ash and Brock landed in their Dragonite, they naturally attracted the attention of many people around them.

That's a pseudo-legendary Pokémon from Kanto, not some random Pokémon that pops out of the grass. Only a trainer with considerable skill could capture it.

"Good job, Dragonite." Ash patted Dragonite on the shoulder and put away the large, adorable Pokémon that had been hugging him since landing.

"As expected of Dragonite, I didn't expect us to arrive in Vermilion City so quickly."

Looking back on the lightning speed he had just experienced, Brock even felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have been so reserved on Dragonite Island; he should have caught a pseudo-legendary baby and raised it properly.

You'll never know how exhilarating it is to fly a Dragonite until you experience it for yourself!

If Ash and his friends were to walk from Cape White to Vermilion City, it would take them at least three to five days, even if they didn't get lost.

However, they set off from the more distant Kairyu Island at sea and arrived at Koba Port in less than an hour.

And this was even after Dragonite deliberately slowed down because it was worried about blowing them away.

"That's pretty fast, I didn't expect it to be so much ahead of schedule," Xiao Zhi said, looking at the empty port.

"In advance...you mean the St. Anne?" Xiao Gang immediately realized.

Unlike the journey in the original work where he often gets lost, Ash had planned his Kanto trip in advance. He was confident about everything, from the route to important time points.

The luxury cruise ship St. Anne has a fixed docking time in Vermilion Harbor each month. Ash only needs to calculate the date to board the ship... but now he's docked several days earlier than planned.

"Let's go to the Pokémon Center first."

Since we're already here, let's make the best of it. Since Saint Anne hasn't arrived yet, Ash can just wait in Vermilion City.

He could also take this opportunity to do some side quests and see what the so-called surprise really was...

"Trainer over there, could I take up a little of your time?" Just as Ash was about to leave, he was stopped by an unfamiliar female voice.

"Who are you?" Ash turned around and was taken aback.

The person who called out to him was a young woman of similar age to Xiaogang. She was wearing a single-layered shirt dyed in various colors with oil paint, and she was carrying a large drawing board and paint bag on her back.

If Ash isn't mistaken, this person should be the future Fairy-type captain of the Alola region...

"My name is Jasmine, and I'm also a trainer. I'm from the Alola region."

Sure enough~

Ash thought back and realized that in the game Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Jasmine did appear in Vermilion Harbor, and she even missed the ship back because she was too focused on drawing.

I never expected to run into her here during my trip.

"I just saw your Dragonite. You must be a very skilled trainer. Would you like to have a battle with me?" After introducing herself, the young woman immediately pulled out a Poké Ball.

“Alright, eye contact is a signal of challenge from trainers, and I have no reason to refuse. It's also a good opportunity to see the Pokémon of the Alola region.”

Ash is never one to shy away from a challenge.

"You won't be disappointed, go, Moefly!" Jasmine threw the ball, and a small Pokémon with butterfly wings fluttered out.

The Bug and Fairy-type Pokémon in the Alola region are indeed as adorable as their names suggest!

"For me... this is the one, Bulbasaur!" "Dana!"

After a moment's thought, Ash chose Bulbasaur, intending to use its type advantage to fight against it.

"It's quite an experience to be able to face the three starter Pokémon of Kanto so quickly. Moefly, use Fairy Wind!"

Once the two were ready, Jasmine didn't hesitate and immediately commanded the scorpion to flap its wings, creating a gentle breeze like colorful mist.

Bulbasaur, use Poison directly!

However, to Jasmine's surprise, Ash's Bulbasaur took the hit without dodging or avoiding it, and then quickly sprayed out a spray of venom, directly drenching the Squirrel!

"This is bad, it seems we have to finish this quickly... Squidfly, use Insect Resist!" After being poisoned, a Pokémon's stamina will be continuously depleted. Knowing that she couldn't linger in the battle, Jasmine immediately ordered Squidfly to launch continuous attacks.

"Hold on, use Leech Seed!" But Ash still didn't intend to defend. Bulbasaur launched a seed from its back, which hit the Squirrel directly. The seed then began to grow into a vine, constantly draining the Squirrel's energy!

"Ah, this..." Jasmine's face froze instantly.

First came the deadly poison, then the parasitic seeds. If this drags on any longer, I'll lose without even having to fight.

"Squirrel, charge over there! Use Drain Kiss!" Jasmine seemed a little anxious. She actually commanded Squirrel to get close to Bulbasaur, wanting to use a Fairy-type move that wasn't very effective to regain some of its health.

But this is exactly what Ash was waiting for!

"Bulbasaur, Venom Juggernaut!" "Dana!"

At such close range, Bulbasaur didn't even need to aim; it simply blasted a spray of venom onto the Squirrel!

Poison-type attacks are twice as effective against Fairy-type attacks. In addition, the power of Venom Impact is doubled when the Poisoned status is active. The explosive damage immediately caused the squirm to scream and almost completely deplete its stamina!

"Don't give up, Moe Fly! Unleash your hidden trump card, use the stuntman!" "Moe!"

The severely injured Bulbasaur barely managed to steady itself, and with a light arc in the air, it launched a final attack on Bulbasaur!

Flying-type is also twice as strong against Grass-type. Without any items, the power of Stuntman will also be doubled. This will be the last and strongest attack from Squirrel!

"They even have this trick up their sleeve? Bulbasaur, use photosynthesis! You have to pull through!"

Ash was taken aback, but even so, he still chose to confront the enemy head-on!

At this moment, Ash is highly focused, constantly encouraging and cheering on his friends!

Meanwhile, Bulbasaur's entire body began to glow faintly, and it actually managed to withstand the impact of the succulent and begin to recover its strength!

...

At the same time, strange phenomena are also occurring at the Pokémon Center in Vermilion City.

"What is this?" While busy at work, Nurse Joy glanced at a Pokémon egg in the incubator and noticed that it had suddenly started to emit bursts of blue light.

"It really worked?!" Another teenager in the room exclaimed with delight.

He carried the egg all the way to the Kanto region, initially with a skeptical attitude, but to his surprise, he actually saw it glowing!

...

Back at Vermilion Harbor, in the final conflict, it was the Bulbasaur that was first exhausted and unable to defeat Bulbasaur in one fell swoop.

"Dana..." Since being captured, Bulbasaur has undergone countless defensive counter-attack training sessions, so it instinctively wanted to launch a counter-attack against the succulent!

However, Xiao Zhi called out to it at just the right moment.

"Stop, Bulbasaur, the battle is over."

Just as Bulbasaur stopped attacking, the Scorpion Fly, already weakened by the combined effects of poison and Leech Seed, had lost its last bit of strength…

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Ranger and the Special Pokémon Egg

"Sleepyfly!"

Seeing her Pokémon collapsed on the ground, Jasmine quickly ran over and hugged it.

"Give this to it, it can remove the toxins." Xiao Zhi rushed over and handed Jasmine a bottle of antidote.

"Ah... thank you!" Jasmine was taken aback at first, then immediately used the potion on the baby fly.

Once the succulent's condition stabilized, she breathed a sigh of relief and then sincerely admired Ash: "You and Bulbasaur are really amazing, I'm no match for you at all."

"I just benefited from the attribute advantage," Ash said modestly. "And I didn't expect your Squirrel to have mastered the Stuntman move. If its level were a little higher, the outcome would have been hard to say."

Ash wasn't just being polite; Bumblebee only knows a very limited number of Flying-type moves, so Jasmine's stunt was really quite unexpected.

However, the opponent acted too late, and the scorpion's skills were not comprehensive enough... Even if it had leveled up a little and learned aromatherapy, it wouldn't have been tormented by the poison in such an embarrassing way.

"Being able to make good use of attributes is also a hallmark of a good trainer," Jasmine said with a smile, shaking hands with Ash. "Anyway, I admit defeat~"

Trainers on their travels will make eye contact as a signal to battle, and will become friends after the battle.

Ash and Jasmine became friends, and after the battle, they agreed to go to the Pokémon Center to heal their partner, chatting and laughing along the way.
