Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

He's the seed captain!

It sensed the conflict!

Upon its appearance, Bulbasaur immediately unleashed several vine whips!

"Snap! Snap! Swish!"

Taking the initiative, and with Bulbasaur's Vine Whip coming at a tricky angle, it immediately restrained the dragon and turtle's movements, binding them tightly!

"Pikachu".

Pikachu nodded.

These Poké Balls are so useful; I hope I can catch a Pokémon and play with it sometime.

But Charmeleon and Squirtle are not easy to deal with either.

After some effort, they managed to break free of the rattan whip.

But it's unclear whether this frog is friend or foe.

For a moment, they dared not make any rash moves.

Thus, a strange balance was achieved: Charmeleon, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur each occupied a corner, forming a defensive triangle, and the atmosphere strangely shifted from intense fighting to a quiet standoff.

Ash looked at the scene, blinked, and suddenly sighed.

"Indeed, triangles are the most stable structure."

Just as he was about to speak up to mediate, Bulbasaur spoke first.

"Seeds! Seeds! Seeds!"

Its voice was steady, and its gaze alternated between Charmeleon and Squirtle, as if it were stating something.

Although Xiaogang and Xiaoxia didn't know what Bulbasaur was saying, they noticed the attitudes of Charmeleon and Squirtle.

It was clearly an attempt to persuade them with both emotion and reason.

This eased the tense atmosphere between the two sides considerably.

Bulbasaur croaked a few more times.

Captain Squirtle followed its gaze to Charmeleon's disheveled appearance, remained silent for a moment, and then reluctantly turned his face away.

Charmeleon also spewed out two plumes of black smoke from its nose, and the flames on its tail subsided somewhat, as if to give Bulbasaur some face.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Brilliant writing! Brilliant writing!"

"Bulbasaur, you're absolutely right!"

Even Xiao Zhi felt he couldn't match these words.

After all, he's not a Pokémon.

You can't try to dissuade someone from Pokémon's perspective.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the arena had eased slightly, Ash stepped forward and inserted himself into the center of the triangle without hesitation.

He reached out and pressed down on the Charizard.

It stood between it and Squirtle.

"Using powerful fire-based skills in the forest is indeed dangerous..."

Squirtle nodded.

That's a fair statement.

"...However, launching a surprise attack without considering the circumstances is also wrong."

Xiao Zhi continued.

The Charmander stubbornly tilted its head to one side, its eyes filled with resentment.

Everything else is fine, but my imposing black skin tone was achieved with great difficulty through mixing the right proportions!

Ash looked at Charmeleon's expression and its constant head-down glances at its skin, and slapped his forehead.

"Ah! Right! I almost forgot!"

He hurriedly turned around, grabbed his backpack, and rummaged through it, the bottles and jars clinking together.

"I found it! I was originally planning to give it to you as a gift when we met..."

He took out a small, transparent bottle containing a deep, dark black liquid.

"This is the herbal skin dye I asked Nurse Joy for at the Pokémon Center. She said it's made from all-natural plant extracts, good for the skin, and..."

He emphasized his words.

Waterproof! Durable! Long-lasting color!

Charmander's eyes were immediately drawn to the bottle of liquid.

It stared intently at the bottle, and the flame on its tail flickered more gently.

"Come on, turn around a little, I'll apply it for you. There are some places you definitely can't reach yourself."

Xiao Zhi unscrewed the bottle cap, and a fresh herbal scent wafted out.

Charmander hesitated for a moment, then looked at its original skin color.

Ultimately, the desire for the dark skin overcame that slight awkwardness.

It turned slightly, somewhat reluctantly but obediently, with its back to Ash, but its head was turned back, its eyes fixed on Ash's hand movements, as if afraid he would ruin the painting.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, the seed captain nodded, successfully completed his mission, and returned to his Poké Ball.

Xia looked on with envy.

Why is there such a big difference between Pokémon that can both run away on their own?

I saw a man and a dragon discussing how to apply the coating evenly.

Squirtle slowly emerged from its shell, which resembled a four-dimensional pocket.

He pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper.

It carefully unfolded the paper with its paws, revealing a table drawn with delicate strokes.

It includes sections such as "Reason", "Location", "Pokémon Involved", and "Results".

In the "Reason" column, a small flame and a warning sign have been drawn.

Captain Squirtle took out a small piece of charcoal and drew a simple Charmeleon head next to the "Pokémon Involved". Then, he drew a checkmark in the "Result of Handling" column and wrote "First Warning" next to it.

It raised its paw and showed the "warning notice" to Ash and Charmeleon, then solemnly said "Squirrel" a few times.

He then pointed to Charmeleon and finally handed the warning slip to Ash.

The meaning is very clear.

Considering this was the first offense and no actual loss was caused, a warning was issued.

The warning notice will be kept on file and will not be repeated!

Xiao Zhi didn't seem to have any complaints.

Instead, he looked at Captain Squirtle with concern.

"Oh right, I forgot to ask, are you alright?"

"I'm so sorry about earlier, Charmander was a bit short-tempered. Here, take this and apply it to the painful area, it will help."

As he spoke, he took out another bottle of Pokémon Healing Spray from his bag and handed it over.

"Jenny?!"

Squirtle sneered.

What do you mean?

Bribe me, you turtle?

How ridiculous! You think you can bribe me with mere healing medicine? Do you really think I'm some kind of country bumpkin?

He snatched the medicine from her.

The impartial and incorruptible Captain Turtle judged it as correct!

Squirtle pushed up his sunglasses.

If you accept gifts and then do something for them, that's considered a bribe!

If I accept the gifts but don't do anything, then it doesn't count as bribery!

Xiao Zhi didn't think that much about it.

His gaze naturally fell on Captain Squirtle's sunglasses, and he sincerely praised him.

"Speaking of which, your sunglasses are really stylish!"

"Jenny?"

This sudden praise caused Captain Squirtle, who was upholding the law, to pause slightly.

It subconsciously raised its paw, adjusted the small black sunglasses on its face, and slightly raised its chin.

of course!

This is the same style that Water-type star trainer Lulina wore in the latest issue of Galar Fashion!

Cutting-edge fashion!

This limited edition item was bought through connections using my entire half-month duty allowance!

How can someone be tasteless?

"And if I'm not mistaken," Ash leaned closer, examining the material and color of the sunglasses, his tone becoming more certain, "these shouldn't be ordinary sunglasses. They must be a special model that incorporates the craftsmanship of black glasses, which can enhance the power of Dark-type moves, right?"

"Jenny?"

Squirtle scratched its head.

It thought they were just ordinary sunglasses.
