Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master.

Chapter 360 Daily Training, A Major Crisis in Their Relationship

"Come on, everyone, let's get to know each other. This is our new partner, the Treekia."

"Spar!"

"Chama!"

Thanks to the blessing of the Mother Tree, Ash and his friends had a smooth journey ahead without getting lost, and were soon to reach the next town.

At this moment, they are resting after their journey. They let their Pokémon out to get some fresh air and also let them meet their new companions.

Torchic and Taillow were naturally quite enthusiastic when they saw Treecko, and immediately went over to greet it.

Unfortunately, the tree gecko remained aloof and did not respond to them. It simply jumped onto a high branch, cut off a twig, and coolly held it in its mouth while admiring the view.

Being ignored like this infuriated Tumbleweed, so it flew up and argued loudly with Treecko, but Treecko still ignored it.

"Spa!" (Ten-dish-one)

Aogu Yan got even angrier.

It kept calling out, as if it absolutely had to get a response from the Treecko, but the Treecko was just as stubborn, stubbornly turning its head away and refusing to look at the Tallbird.

The two stubborn individuals seemed to be locked in a fierce argument, arguing incessantly.

"That Treecko—" Ash sighed and scratched his head. Being too individualistic at times like this isn't a good thing.

"The tree gecko used to live in trees, which probably made it more comfortable, but it couldn't get along well with its companions that way."

"That's true. We'll be good partners on the same team from now on. How can we not get along?"

Suddenly, Ash had an idea.

"I've got it! Let's have a doubles match!"

Nothing fosters a stronger bond between two people like fighting side by side.

"Double, with whom?" Xiao Sheng looked around; this open space was only occupied by their group.

"Could it be my older sister? She only has one Pokémon yet."

"And a trainer of your level, I'm afraid she wouldn't even last one round against you."

"Feeding Xiaosheng, that's going too far!"

"But come to think of it, May, how come you haven't caught a single Pokémon yet?"

"Well----"

Seeing that Ash also agreed with Max, May was speechless for a moment.

But she quickly and confidently stated her reasons.

"I just like cute Pokémon. I don't want to catch any that aren't cute."

"cute----"

Ash and Max both looked at May with helpless expressions.

"So, my sister's skill level isn't good enough. When it comes to Pokémon, the first thing to look at is strength!"

"A Pokémon is cool if it's powerful enough; judging solely by appearance is too superficial!"

"Xiao Sheng, what you just said seemed incredibly superficial!"

"No way!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing—"

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhi suddenly remembered that today was the day that guy was supposed to come over for training.

"That's perfect. May, I'll lend you one of my Pokémon. With its strength, even if you were to command it, it would definitely help train Treecko and Taillow."

Even if it's me—

Ash's words were a bit hurtful; May has clearly been seriously studying Pokémon battles lately.

"snort!"

After making that little expression, Haruka decided that she would deliberately ignore Satoshi from now on.

But before she could act for long, she was immediately drawn to the Pokémon that Ash released.

"Wow, what an adorable Pokémon! What is it?"

"It didn't summon Suicune, but it looks like Misdreavus, even though it's much bigger."

Shoichi was initially a little disappointed not to see the Eight Treasure Porridge, but upon seeing a Pokémon he had never seen before, he immediately showed an excited expression.

With his extensive knowledge of Pokémon, Max immediately recognized the other Pokémon, but he still couldn't accurately identify what kind of Pokémon it was.

At this point, Ash stopped hiding it.

"This child is named Zhenyifa, and he is an ancient species of Misdreavus."

"Ash, are Ancient Species Pokémon like Aerodactyl that lived in ancient times?"

"According to Professor Oak, it should be about right."

Upon hearing that Ash would subject Babaozhou to grueling training if it stayed any longer, Babaozhou immediately turned tail and ran back to its happy nest, refusing to come out again.

Of course, Ash would never let it go, but its training time wasn't today.

The Pokémon summoned by Ash was the long-unseen Fa Jie, everyone's beloved Baba Xixi Li San teacher.

Although Ash Ketchum doesn't use it much in official battles, it has never missed a single Pokémon Warmth event in the Johto region.

Therefore, its level is quite good, and coupled with its extremely high base stats, its overall strength should not be underestimated.

They are perfect opponents for Treekia and Talleston, who are still beginners.

Ash simply wanted May to bring Torchic, his other doubles opponent, to gain more battle experience.

As soon as the flapping wings appeared, Ash went over and scratched its little chin.

Fa Jie immediately showed an adorable expression of enjoyment, which made Xiao Yao swoon.

"So cute! This is the Pokémon I've always wanted!" May immediately pounced on it.

Unfortunately, her hands passed right through Zhenyi's body, and she couldn't catch him, falling face-first into the mud.

"Ouch, that hurts! Why is that?"

"Sister, Misdreavus is a Ghost-type Pokémon, and since Winged Wing is an Ancient species of Misdreavus, it should also be Ghost-type."

"Ghost Pokémon can enter a ghostly state when they don't want to be touched."

"Oh, does that mean Zhenyi hates me?" Xiaoyao immediately looked at Zhenyi with teary eyes.

Then, the adorable Fa Jie quietly moved behind Xiao Zhi.

"I'm being disliked~" Haruka instantly turned into a screaming meme.

"It's not that it's disliked, this kid is just easily frightened." Ash's Winged Wing has always been a Pokémon with a rather introverted and quiet personality.

So, Xiaoyao startled Zhenyifa when she suddenly pounced on him, which is why he dodged her.

"Alright, it's okay, Zhenyi, don't be afraid. Xiaoyao and the others aren't bad people. She just wants to be your friend."

""

"Send~"

"I'm really not a bad person."

Encouraged by Ash, Winged Hair finally flew timidly to May's side and stretched out his long hair ribbon, wanting to shake her hand.

Xiaoyao immediately pounced on it happily again, only to fall face-first into the mud once more.

"Hahaha."

Seeing that May liked Winged Wing so much, Ash felt relieved: "Then Winged Wing will be lent to May for commanding during the battle later."

He then immediately commanded the Winged Machine to fire lunar energy at the two men still arguing on the branch.

The dazzling fairy power quickly condensed into an energy ball the size of a basketball, which passed directly between the two Pokémon.

The immense power exploded in mid-air, creating a gust of wind that startled both Wood Guardian and Proud Swallow.

"Kimi?" (What?)

"Spah, Spah!" (Such immense power!)

"How about it, Wood Gecko and Tsurugi? Stop arguing, let's have some training with Zhenyi!"

Faced with the powerful Winged Strike, Treekie and Tumbleweed were filled with fighting spirit, stopped arguing and jumped down from the tree together.

"They look very motivated, so they should be fine in the upcoming battle."

"Are you sure it's okay? They don't even seem to be looking at each other."

"It should be fine, right?"

Then, in the next battle, just as Xiaosheng had said, there was something wrong with Treeknight and Taunteen.

Even with Ash's guidance, Treecko and Swellow still suffered a complete defeat.

There was no other way; with the power of the Winged Beast, even if it was Haruka who commanded it, it was already enough to give it a huge advantage over Treecko and Tumbleweed.

Not to mention that in doubles matches, Taikuen and Treekia not only have no teamwork, but also sabotage each other.

Even their final defeat was due to a wing attack by Tailwing accidentally brushing against Treecko's tail, causing the two to start arguing again.

Then it was defeated by a Pokémon that used Moon Power with a single move.

"Wow! I actually won! I beat Ash in a battle! It feels like a dream!"

"Alright, sister, your Torchic didn't hit Treecko even once with its Ember Attack throughout the entire battle. How can you be so proud of yourself?"

"The only role Mingming played throughout the entire process was to shout the power of the moon to Zhenyi."

"What does it matter? I won, I won. Are you jealous of me, Xiaosheng!"

"No way!"

"Xiaoyao has made progress. She has a good grasp of the timing of the attacks when she makes Zhenyi launch them in battle, which is commendable."

[Ding! Xiaoyao: Affection +2]

"Hehe, see, Xiao Sheng!"

At this moment, Xiaoyao's fair and beautiful face flushed with excitement. This was her first battle victory since she debuted as a trainer.

And she even beat Ash, something she'll remember for the rest of her life.

"Turkey, thank you for flapping your wings."

"Send~"

"Chama!"

This time, Xiaoyao first hugged the Torchic and then slowly hugged Fa Jie, finally allowing her to hug Zhenyi Fa.

Ash walked to the open space and helped Swellow and Treecko up.

Both Pokémon, with their equally stubborn and competitive personalities, couldn't hide their disappointment when faced with defeat.

"You two should learn from this defeat. If we had cooperated well just now, we wouldn't have had no chance of winning."

"Do you know, Treecko and Tumbleweed, only by truly understanding our comrades' feelings can we perform better in battles —"

Ash's motivational speech: Take advantage of their defeat to quickly educate the two Pokémon.

"Even in one-on-one matches, effective teamwork with your teammates can often turn the tide of the battle!"

Under Ash's gentle gaze, Treecko and Taillow exchanged a glance and silently reached out their hands and wings.

But just before they were about to touch each other, they immediately shrank back and turned their heads to the side at the same time.

"Oh dear, it seems it still won't work." Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng looked at this scene with some disappointment.

"Both Pokémon have such stubborn and difficult personalities."

However, Xiao Zhi was not in a hurry to achieve success.

"It's okay, this is a great start. It's only the first battle. They'll definitely become the best partners later on."

The two Pokémon wanted to shake hands and make peace, but due to their awkward personalities and pride, they turned away arrogantly at the last moment.

Ash believes that a few more battles will do the trick.

"But since things have come to this, let's eat first."

A big meal after strenuous exercise is the best comfort for soldiers.

Ash immediately called May and Max to help prepare lunch, while the Pokémon were left aside to play on their own.

However, perhaps due to their recent defeat, neither Treekie nor Turtle were in high spirits.

They each found a high branch, sat on it, and gazed into the distance, still quite far apart from each other.

Meanwhile, Pikachu and its three companions were having a great time, playing hide-and-seek with each other in the grass.

But when it was Pikachu's turn to pretend to be a ghost and look for the other two little ones, it couldn't find Torchic anywhere.

Pikachu could only hurry back with Vibrating Wing to find Ash and the others.

"Pikachu, Pikachu pikachu!"

"What's wrong, Pikachu?"

"Oh dear, it seems the turkeys are missing!"

"What?! We need to go find it right now!"

With Ash's Aura Sense, finding Torchic is quite easy.

Ash and his friends soon spotted Torchic nearby, but it seemed to be in bad shape.

Because a rather fierce and enormous spathy had already tightly bound it, and the whole thing was being pinched and bounced like a ball.

"Um, are they playing?" Haruka asked innocently.

At this moment, the venomous tail of the spiky snake lit up.

"Ah, they're definitely not playing around!"

At that moment, Treecko leaped down from the tree and used its slap to hit Scyther on the head, stopping it from continuing its attack on Torchic.

But this katana seemed to be quite strong, a local tyrant in the forest, and quickly recovered after taking the hit.

It stared intently at the Treecko with fierce eyes, and its sharp tail quickly flashed with a purple light symbolizing deadly poison, lashing out at the Treecko's body.

In order to protect the Torchic that had fainted behind him, Treecko did not choose to dodge.

Just as Treecko was about to be struck by Poison Sting, Tauntlet suddenly flew down and knocked Treecko aside, taking the hit for it.

"Chima?!"

"Spa~"

The Wood Beard looked at the poisoned and collapsed Aogu Yan with disbelief, and after a moment of silence, it didn't say anything more.

It simply picked up a twig and silently protected the Shrike and the Torchling behind it.

"Hmm, it seems they won't have any problems getting along from now on."

"Shoku, can we go save them now?"

"Of course, we need to treat the poisoned Pokémon as soon as possible."

Actually, May wanted to rush over earlier, but Ash stopped her because he had spotted Treecko and Taillow in advance.

"Ghostbird, jump up and use Slap!"

Treecko exchanged a surprised glance with Ash, then immediately leaped up to dodge Seviper's sneak attack, and then spun in the air to unleash a powerful slap.

In an instant, the rice spoon snake was knocked senseless and fell to the ground with a thud.

[Ding! Wood Gecko: Affection +2; Intimacy +2]

At this moment, Xiaoyao quickly ran over and brought back the Swellow and Torchic, feeding them the antidote.

But that silverfish snake was quite cunning; it pretended to be stunned.

While everyone was focused on the two poisoned Pokémon, it immediately used its tail to grab a berry hidden in the grass and ate it.

"Hiss~"

The Spoon Snake is fully recovered! Its attack power has even been enhanced after eating a few Lychee Fruits.

"Ah, Ash, the Seviper has woken up again!"

When Xiaoyao turned her head and saw a hideous snake face, she was almost scared out of her wits.

"Oh, it's just a camouflage snake, quite clever indeed."

This was the first time Ash had ever seen a wild Pokémon that ate berries during battles, and he immediately became interested.

He had originally thought that since Seviper was a high-level and strong Pokémon, he would treat it later and let it battle with his Pokémon a few more times.

It has now healed itself, saving Ash money on medicine.

The miser is delighted!

Just as Ash was about to order everyone to work together and share the experience, another group of people suddenly arrived.

"Ah, I found it! It's the Seviper that runs rampant in this forest, bullying Pokémon everywhere!"

"Damn it! How dare they ambush me while I'm training for the Grand Contest! They'll pay for my actress's precious hair!"

""

"Meow, and meow meow, my lunch!"

Unexpectedly, the people who came were Kojiro and his friends, who were all so angry they were practically fuming.

At this moment, Musashi's eyes were burning with rage, and she had completely lost her mind. Her signature long hair had already been cut off.

She forcibly took the Poké Ball from Kojiro's waist and released Lycaenus and her own Wobbuffet.

"Wobbuffet uses Double Strike! Cynthia first attacks Wobbuffet with Seed Bomb, then uses Pin Missile!"

"Give me a taste of the actress's magnificent furious attack!"

"Sonasu~"

"Desert Nai!"

This Desert Nyx appears to be a newly caught Pokémon by Kojiro, but it attacks quite swiftly.

It swiftly unleashed a Seed Machine Gun with one hand, attacking Wobbuffet which had already used Double Strike, while simultaneously launching Pin Missiles towards Seviper with its other hand.

After enduring the attack from the Seed Machine Gun, Wobbuffet was lifted up by Musashi and charged towards the same direction as the Seviper.

The seed machine gun's energy was amplified and released, intertwining with the missile needle attack, all aimed at the rice spoon snake.

The missile pins and the seed machine gun exploded together during the attack, creating a spectacular display of fireworks.

Because the Seed Machine Gun was doubled in power, it gained the upper hand in the intertwining, and the energy of the missile needle exploded first.

The flash of light blinded the serpent, leaving it unsure of which way to dodge, and it was struck by both attacks simultaneously.

Having suffered massive damage, the serpent tried to retaliate with its venomous tail attack, but Musashi rammed it in the face with his spiky tail.

The damage from the venomous tail attack was doubled and ingested by the snake itself, causing an explosion at the location of the venomous snake.

As the smoke dissipated, amidst the shimmering golden light, Musashi, standing on the "corpse" of the Silencer, joined Wobbuffet and Nyarlathotep in a final bow.

Xiaoyao was completely stunned.

"So beautiful!"
