Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

Even after all this time, Ash is still Ash.

The ultimate straight man!

However, being a straight man has its advantages. Xiaochun, who was caught by Xiaozhi, once again felt the heat in Xiaozhi's palm.

awesome!

However, when the two entered Vermilion City, a pair of Bulbasaur suddenly appeared and blocked their path.

What's wrong with these Bulbasaur?

Because of everything that happened yesterday, Xiaochun is no longer so afraid of Pokémon.

Although I can't yet have close contact like Ash, I'm already able to accept it without resistance.

Faced with Xiaochun's question.

Various images flashed through Xiaozhi's mind.

Ultimately, the memory remains of the experience of going to the 'Mysterious Garden'.

"These Bulbasaur seem to be about to evolve. Shall we go check on them?"

Ash extended an invitation to Haru.

Xiaochun naturally wouldn't refuse Xiaozhi's invitation.

The two of them followed the Bulbasaur to the Pokémon Gym that was under construction in Vermilion City.

The group of Bulbasaur were all climbing towards the highest point of the Pokémon Gym.

They want to get the sunlight on the top floor.

Looking at the scene before him, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

"I also had a Bulbasaur back then, but my Bulbasaur didn't want to evolve."

"Why is that? Aren't Pokémon supposed to get stronger as they evolve?"

"That's true, but my Bulbasaur has body anxiety. It doesn't like the bulky body it gets after evolving into Ivysaur and Venusaur. Actually, Pikachu is the same way."

The conversation shifted to himself.

Pikachu shook its head repeatedly and made an X with its cute little hands in front of its chest.

It doesn't want to evolve!

Raichu is stupid and ugly! Not cute at all!

the most important!

After evolving into Raichu, it will be much larger than it is now!

Then I can no longer stay on Ash's shoulder!

Baiyin Town.

Looking at Ash's words on the light screen.

Ash himself slapped his right fist onto his left palm.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Pikachu and Bulbasaur didn't want to evolve. It turns out they have body image anxiety."

"Haha, Pikachu, you're so cute." Misty couldn't help but pinch Pikachu's little face on Ash's shoulder.

Pikachu's cheeks puffed up with air are just too cute.

Ash, how could you reveal your thoughts like that!

Pikachu harbored deep resentment towards Ash, who was hidden behind the light screen.

Its little secret was thus exposed to everyone!

"It's okay, Pikachu. Whether you evolve or not, I respect your wishes."

As he spoke, Ash reached for the Poké Ball at his waist.

"Bulbasaur, you're the same. I won't force you to evolve if you don't want to."

Ash's words moved Pikachu so much that it almost brought tears to its eyes.

then.

"Don't use 100,000 volts when you're feeling emotional!"

……

Mystery.

Shinji looked at Ash's words on the screen with disdain.

What's the point of keeping a Pokémon in your team if it doesn't want to evolve?

Even if you really like a Pokémon, it's better to keep it in the professor's lab if it doesn't want to evolve or has no desire to battle.

He's a trainer, not a philanthropist.

Shinji's goal from the moment he became a Trainer was not far from Ash's.

His goal is to become a tactical mastermind, to become a champion!

A Pokémon that refuses to evolve represents only weakness.

Weak Pokémon will not appear in his team.

Perhaps it's time to give it up.

Shinji watched as the little chimera he had recently captured fought fiercely.

But it was still no match for the opponent's Pokémon.

There's no need for a Pokémon that lacks the desire to fight to be in your team.

Shinji is not Go after all.

Even so, he will give Pokémon two choices.

One option was to return it to the doctor's research institute, while the other was to release it back into the wild.

"Little Fire Monkey, don't let me down."

.......

Chapter 17 Team Rocket's Trio! This Time It's Tyranitar!

In the picture—

More and more Bulbasaur are climbing onto the roof of the Pokémon Gym.

Xiaochun looked at the group of Bulbasaur with an inquisitive gaze.

She has never witnessed the evolution process of Pokémon since she was a child.

As more and more Bulbasaur become ready.

They glowed.

This is a sign that Bulbasaur is about to evolve.

The mass evolution of Bulbasaur is a rare miracle; even Ash has only witnessed it a few times.

Just as he was about to enjoy it properly.

A large net was cast from the sky, catching all the Bulbasaur on the rooftop.

Familiar movements, fluid techniques.

And... this is almost becoming muscle memory.

"It's the Rockets again."

Xiao Zhi didn't even need to look up to know who did it.

Sure enough, after Xiao Zhi spoke.

Team Rocket responded to Ash immediately, as if they had triggered some kind of mechanism.

"Since you asked the question sincerely!"

"Then I will mercifully tell you!"

"To prevent the world from being destroyed!"

"To protect world peace!"

"Carry out the evil of love and truth!"

"A cute and charming rebellious character!"

"Musashi!" "Kojiro!"

"We are the Team Rocket duo who traverse the galaxy!"

"White hole, the white one is waiting for us tomorrow!"

"That's it, meow~"

"Swoosh~ Nance!"
