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

The Rockets' trio!

"Hehe, the plan was a great success!"

See this scene.

The audience laughed.

Anyone familiar with the Rockets' trio knows this.

They're about to deliver another assist!

[Little Kiku: Yay! It's my favorite Team Rocket segment again! The trio has appeared! Ash has it in the bag this time!]

[McClure: You know what, you really do know, Jessie and the others have something. Every time they show up, they have to give Ash something.]

[Kojiro: Since we're already here, it wouldn't be right not to bring something.]

Musashi: ?

What are you saying?! Take it back!

Don't say what's on your mind!

[Real Bird: Hehe, did you see your year-end bonus? *Sizzle!* Gone!]

Musashi: No!

……

In the picture—

Facing the Rockets' trio of three, 0...

Pikachu looks rather silly and cute, completely lacking the demeanor of the later Pikachu!

A 100,000-volt blast struck the well-prepared Team Rocket trio hard.

"Hehe, don't waste your time! Our protective suits are made of rubber!"

You know rubber, right? It's an insulator!

Wow, they've started studying physics!

Pikachu was also bewildered when faced with this situation for the first time.

"Pickup!"

What is this!

I quite like the slightly childlike face of Pikachu.

At this moment, the trio saw that the time was ripe.

They immediately pulled out their secret weapon!

A thick, large cannon barrel!

The cannon barrel slammed into Pikachu's face, and a blob of red substance stuck to Pikachu's body, enveloping it!

See it!

Xiao Zhi immediately used his hands to climb upwards!

However, Ash, who was already physically weak, was unable to climb out of the pit.

Instead, due to losing his grip, he fell heavily to the ground.

"Ouch! Ash, you're stepping on my hair!"

Xiaoxia said anxiously.

Pikachu was captured, and Ash and the others couldn't get up.

The trio were only focused on securing the win!

Just as the three were smugly preparing to leave.

A figure slowly emerged from the other side of the road.

Its orange body is engulfed in flames at the tail end!

It's definitely Charmander!

The sudden appearance of the little dragon naturally attracted the attention of Team Rocket.

Meow Meow even went up and poked the little dragon's body.

"What kind of Pokémon is this?"

Clearly, the Rockets' trio, who were just starting out at this time, were not yet very skilled.

They don't even recognize Charmander, one of the starter Pokémon!

It seems that he feels something in his heart.

Ash, who was inside the pit, also heard the noise.

"Little Fire Dragon, is that you?"

"Ouch~"

"Run! They're bad guys!"

Upon hearing the response, Ash quickly moved Charmander away from the area.

Charmander, who had heard Ash's words, simply looked at the Team Rocket trio in front of him.

The words "You are too weak" were still echoing in its mind.

too weak.

So, were they abandoned?

Suddenly, a raging fire surged within the little dragon's heart.

Flames burned within the little dragon's heart; it wanted to become stronger!

It doesn't want to be abandoned!

Flames spread from the throat to the mouth, and were then exhaled by the little dragon!

In its anger, Charmander learned Flamethrower!

The raging flames easily penetrated the trio's protective suits, thus successfully rescuing Pikachu.

The extremely unprofessional Team Rocket trio fled in disarray.

Ash also returned to the pit with Charmander's help.

Just as Ash was about to persuade Charmander...

An unexpected person appeared.

Daiyu, who was Charmander's previous trainer.

Upon seeing that Charmander could use a move like Flamethrower, he even considered trying to capture Charmander.

"Come here, I am your trainer."

Da You's tone was arrogant, completely treating Charmander like a tool.

This successfully angered Ash.

"Charmander! Don't go over there! Someone who abandons their Pokémon so easily after a battle doesn't actually want to reconcile with you! They're just using you! Once your strength no longer meets their expectations, they'll definitely abandon you again!"

Xiao Zhi patted his chest and said confidently.

People who carelessly abandon their Pokémon don't deserve to be trainers!

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever abandon Charmander? I just went out for a bit and left it there to wait for me!"

Da You shrugged indifferently.

"But you, are you saying this because you want to capture my Pokémon?"

Immediately, Da-you revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Under Ash's angry gaze, Daiyu casually threw a Poké Ball at Charmander.

"Charmander, I'm your trainer! I haven't abandoned you! Come into the ball, let's go home."

These words angered even Xiaogang and Xiaoxia, who had been involved all along!

"Shameless" is not even an adequate description of this person!

Abandoning your Pokémon because of your own strength, and then saying such high-sounding words at this time!

Unforgivable!

The Poké Ball arced through the air and headed towards Charmander.

In Da You's opinion, as long as you give Charmander a little attention, taming it would be a piece of cake.

just.

Really?

Does Charmander still remember who rescued it last night in the pouring rain, and who advised it to see its former trainer for who they truly are?
