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

Hehe~

"Yeah, it seems to have a pretty bad temper..." Looking at the crayfish that kept waving its pincers and showing off, Xiaoyao felt a little scared.

She has always had a phobia of Water-type Pokémon.

"Interesting." Xiao Zhi raised an eyebrow with great interest.

Ash has always been quite interested in G-Force from the original anime, and he was actually hoping to encounter it during his trip to Dew Island.

Now that he saw it, Xiao Zhi was even more satisfied.

This crayfish is a Pokémon with its own built-in system, making it well worth catching.

"Chamo!" Sensing Ash's thoughts, Treecko immediately volunteered.

"Heh heh!" The lobster soldier seemed to have noticed its opponent's location and began to taunt the tree spirit with its large pincers.

"Hey, here you go." Ash stopped Treecko from immediately taking action and tossed a can of food over at the same time.

"Hey?"

"There's no rush to fight, let's eat first," Xiao Zhi advised with a smile.

"Hey~" The little lobster soldier is indeed a big heart. Under everyone's gaze, it cut open the can lid on its own, poured all the food inside into its mouth, and happily chewed it up.

After eating and drinking his fill, the lobster soldier let out a burp, jumped off the table, and swaggered over at the woodpecker.

The Treekia immediately focused its attention and confronted the Lobster Squad.

But after waiting for a while, Ash did not give any command.

"You can do whatever you want in this battle. Let me see what you've accomplished recently," Ash instructed.

"Chamo!" Upon hearing Ash's words, Treecko immediately launched an attack, raising its hand to unleash a Grass-type energy vortex.

"Hey!" Faced with the counter move, the lobster soldier also opened its pincers and blasted out a series of transparent bubbles.

Boom!

Billions of Absorption vs. Bubble Rays: The two sides have surprisingly become evenly matched!

"Are you kidding me...? It can actually withstand a Grass-type move?" Haruka, who already knew some basic battle knowledge, was full of surprise.

“This lobster soldier is quite high level, and its special move is very powerful. If it goes head-to-head, Treecko might have a hard time gaining the upper hand.” Serena noticed something.

Treecko noticed this as well, and began to circle around the Lobster, while simultaneously using its newly learned Terrain Move.

The damp sand constantly rippled with new green, and the refreshing atmosphere seemed to lift the gecko's body, allowing it to slide tackle the lobster soldier at lightning speed!

Grass slide!

Under Grassy terrain, Grass-type moves are more powerful, and Grass Glide gains an additional priority.

At this moment, the Treecko transformed into a green arrow, instantly knocking over the Lobster Soldier.

"Hey?" Caught off guard, the crayfish immediately widened its eyes, flipped over, and leaped back, its body enveloped in water!

Both being preemptive strikes, the water jet successfully hit its target and also closed the distance between them!

"Hey!" Without hesitation, the lobster soldier raised its large pincers and unleashed the powerful water-type physical attack, Crab Punch!

This move caught Xiao Zhi's eye; this little lobster soldier really knew how to use tricks.

"Chamo!" Fortunately, Treecko had been trained (tortured) by its seniors during this time, and its eyes glowed blue as it made the right response in the first instant, narrowly dodging the attack.

Boom!

The gleaming giant pincers slammed into the ground, even creating a visible shockwave on the beach, causing the tree tree to stumble.

However, it quickly regained its balance and used the grass slide again, flipping over and using its tail to lift the lobster soldier into the air as it hit the target.

"Chamo!" With a final burst of absorption, Treecko unleashed a vortex of azure energy, firmly gripping the Lobster Soldier's body before forcefully slamming it back into the sand!

"Heh...heh..." After this combo, the lobster soldier was covered in wounds and could only pant heavily in the sand.

"Has the battle been decided? Ash's Treecko is definitely stronger..."

"Hehe!" May wanted to praise Treecko, but Gryphon waved its pincers in dissatisfaction, which scared her so much that she hid behind Ash.

"But the Lobster Soldier is also very strong. It only lost because of its speed." Serena could tell that Treecko had the advantage of speed and more attacks in this game.

In terms of the power of a single attack, the lobster soldier is clearly stronger.

"Let's stop here. It was a good battle, and both sides had a lot to see." Ash first patted Treecko's head to encourage it, then walked over to Corphish and knelt down to treat its injuries.

"Hey?"

"Goblin, would you like to consider becoming my Pokémon?" Ash sincerely invited. "You are very strong and have great talent. I can help you further hone your battle skills."

"Hehe..." Without much hesitation, the lobster soldier readily accepted the invitation.

Ash and Treecko have earned its recognition through their strength. In addition, Treecko is naturally playful and loves excitement. With so many people around Ash, it's much more fun than a deserted beach.

"Then please guide me." Ash smiled and handed over the Poké Ball.

"Hey~hey~" But the lobster soldier didn't score on its own. Instead, it used its pincers to grab Ash's hand and shook it up and down like it was shaking hands, and then it got faster and faster!

This is its infallible prank; many Pokémon have been flung into the air like this before…

"Hey?" But this time, the lobster soldier clearly got his hands on the hot plate.

Xiao Zhi didn't move an inch at all; on the contrary, its own arm was starting to ache from shaking!

"Pranks are fine, but don't go too far," Ash said with a slight smile.

"Hey!"

Upon realizing the power possessed by the human before him, the crayfish finally submitted wholeheartedly.

Chapter 666 A New Companion, Mudskipper

After successfully catching the crawfish, Ash's 'preference' for it even surprised Serena and May.

In addition to its daily basic training, Ash also arranged for Milotic and Meganium to be its two dedicated training partners.

Without a doubt, these two immediately caught Xiaoyao's eye the moment they appeared.

The stunningly beautiful Da Meili, and the adorable Ye Guifei, are both perfect candidates for the Grandeur Contest…

Ash, despite having these two treasures, refused to participate in the Contest, which made May inwardly cry out that it was a waste of their talents.

As for the part where Chikorita immediately hugs and kisses Ash, May has gotten used to it after watching it for a while.

What surprised her equally was the training they gave to the lobster soldiers.

"Milotic, Surf! Meganium, Petal Blizzard! Garbage Lobster, block all attacks!"

The churning waves and fluttering petals attacked the lobster soldiers from all directions, and all the lobsters had to do was swing their pincers to scatter all the attacks!

The training difficulty is absolutely hellish. The lobster soldiers were initially unable to withstand it and would be slammed into the sand pit right from the start.

But gradually, it was aroused by its competitive nature and even began to swing its pincers in a double attack without being taught. It alternated between knocking down and crab punching, and could last longer and longer!

"Goblin...can it really do that?" May found it hard to believe that any Pokémon could complete this kind of training.

"It has that talent, and as long as it's willing to work hard, it will definitely be able to achieve it; it's just a matter of time." Ash was quite confident about the lobster.

Whether in the anime or now, Garrison the Lobster has never been just a cannon fodder Pokémon used to take up hand space.

In the anime Advanced Generation, Lizard King and Bug Swallow certainly stole the show, but a little analysis reveals that Corpse Lobster actually had the highest win rate among all characters this season.

Moreover, this is the result achieved in its unevolved state. If it were to advance further, what kind of performance would it deliver?

"The Lobster Soldier is really amazing! Not only is he strong, but his moves are also very powerful," Serena exclaimed.

"It is a rare adaptive trait, which allows it to unleash the full power of its signature moves."

The resilience of the iron claw lobster is no exaggeration.

The water spray knocked down the crab fist; even without enhancement, it wouldn't be easy to withstand the burst of those three blows.

In short, crayfish definitely have a promising future.

...

"Hey, Ash!" One day during training, Vine Tree suddenly approached you mysteriously. "Come on, I'll take you to a great place."

"What do you mean by 'good place'?" Xiao Zhi asked, puzzled.

"Are you interested in a place where you can catch the three Hoenn starter Pokémon?" Fujiki whispered in Ash's ear.

"Really?" Ash was overjoyed upon hearing this, and immediately thought of where the vine was going to take him.

Of the three starter Pokémon in Hoenn, he's only missing Mudkip to catch.

And Mudskippers can be found on Wudou Island!

"Let's go~" Fujiki laughed heartily and began to lead the way.

"Sounds great, like an adventure... Okay, it's decided!" May became interested too. She jogged a few steps to catch up with the vine, and turned around to make a camera lens with her hands, framing Ash and Serena.

"Mystery novel fans across the country, I've kept you waiting! Now, it's time for the Little Haruka Adventure Team to lead you into the unknown and pursue the unfathomable mysteries! This time, we'll follow Mr. Fujiki to explore the mysterious land of Martial Arts Island!"

"A novel enthusiast... does Xiaoyao really enjoy writing novels?" Serina asked, puzzled.

"No, I just thought it sounded more powerful to say it that way." The girl gave a cute, slightly embarrassed look.
