Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

The two people standing nearby, now energized, immediately got to work.

"Let's not delay, the three of us should set off now!"

"it is good!"

"Pickup!"

After saying that, the two of them lifted Xiaoxia up on either side and strode out the door.

Xiaoxia: "......"

No, she didn't say anything at all.

Why is she going too?!

.......

Half an hour later.

Deep within the sewer system of Qunqing City.

"I hate you all."

Xiaoxia's voice came out muffledly from behind three layers of masks.

She wrapped herself up so that only her eyes were exposed, but even so, the overwhelming stench still managed to seep into her nose.

She felt that if she stayed any longer, she might get pickled herself!

"Don't talk, save your breath."

Xiao Gang was also fully armed, his flashlight beam sweeping across the damp pipe wall.

"Based on my experience, they should be just ahead. This level of stench... I can't be wrong."

Ash wasn't wearing a mask, and even had the leisure to cover Pikachu's nose.

He tilted his head slightly back, his breathing was steady, and his face even showed a hint of composure.

It's just a foul smell.

There are so many people in Yuhong City who spray stinky floral perfume.

Having smelled the stinky flower every day, his tolerance threshold for odors is already very high.

Following the scent, the group wandered through various twists and turns.

We arrived at a huge underground space, which must have been an abandoned sewage treatment plant from years ago.

In the very center of the space, two mountains of garbage are colliding violently.

No, it's not a mountain.

It's Pokémon.

On one side is a colossal, gray-blue structure made up of layers upon layers of garbage—Dust Mountain, an invasive alien species.

Its body writhed continuously, its surface studded with rusty iron cans, rotten pieces of cloth, and unidentified debris.

Every movement causes tiny bits of trash to fall down.

On the other side was a giant, flowing, purple-white, soft mud beast—the local Kanto mud.

Two enormous creatures are fighting.

To be precise, it was Mud that, with its fluid body, was completely pressing down on the dust mountain.

The dust mountain was completely enveloped, constantly tightening and compressing.

Dust Mountain let out a muffled roar, even though its body was bound.

But whenever the pressure from the slime causes it to crack, it suddenly lowers its head, tears off a large piece from the nearby garbage heap, stuffs it directly into its mouth, chews it a few times, and its cracked body heals and expands at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, a circle of "spectators" were enthusiastically cheering and encouraging the crowd.

More than thirty stinky muds and tattered bags were huddled together, desperately cheering on their leader.

Just a whiff.

Xiao Gang knew he had come to the right place.

This strong smell... it's Miss Joey's smell!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Gang stepped forward.

"Gentlemen! Please hear me out!"

His voice echoed in the empty hall.

However, due to the loud fighting and cheering, none of the Pokémon heard it.

Xiao Gang frowned, took a deep breath, and prepared to focus his energy in his dantian.

Ash's Poké Ball suddenly lit up.

A flash of white light.

The seed captain, having noticed the conflict, immediately made his appearance!

It first took a deep breath, enduring the smell.

Then.

"seed--!!!!"

A loud shout rang out like a thunderclap!

A powerful gust of air erupted from Bulbasaur's mouth, and visible sound waves rippled through the air, stirring the stagnant atmosphere.

Even the stench in the air was largely dissipated.

All the Pokémon were completely dumbfounded.

Countless eyes turned to the source of the sound and landed on Bulbasaur.

Whose general is this, that he is so brave?!

They noticed that there were humans following behind him.

The dust mountain and the stinky mud, which were fighting fiercely, suddenly separated like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!

Stinky Mud rolled over and tumbled down from under the mountain of dust.

Dust Mountain immediately flipped itself up and stood up.

They acted simultaneously, arm in arm, their two enormous bodies desperately trying to create a harmonious scene.

They put on an act of being friendly and agreeable.

The surrounding stinking mud and tattered bags quickly fell silent, pretending to visit each other and have friendly exchanges.

Some even deliberately turned around, pretending to be studying the moss on the wall.

Xiao Gang paused for a moment, staring intently at the two Pokémon that were forcibly showing affection.

This reaction... seems a bit off?

"Thank you, Bulbasaur."

"seed."

Bulbasaur nodded slightly.

You're welcome. It's what I, as the captain, should do.

Without thinking further, Xiao Gang stepped forward.

"Gentlemen! Please hear me out!"

Dust Mountain's murky little eyes swept over the three of them—

Huh?

Its gaze lingered on Xiao Gang's face for a moment, then moved to Xiao Zhi, and finally looked at Xiao Xia.

It seems I didn't see that familiar figure.

It looked at it more carefully.

He squinted his cloudy little eyes, trying hard to make out what was going on.

No.

That figure in the pink nurse's uniform, always with a dangerous smile, is not here today.

Dust Mountain's expression visibly relaxed.

It glanced at Muddy to the side.

Mud also turned its head and glanced at it.

The two suddenly separated, and the two rubbed the places where they had been in contact with each other with disgust.

bah bah bah!

Dirty! It's so dirty!

Xiao Gang stepped forward and spread his arms to block them.

"I know there's a conflict between you two—"

"But fighting won't solve anything!"

"We all live in this city, so in a sense we're neighbors! It's normal for neighbors to have disagreements, but we can resolve them in a more peaceful way—"

"Doraro".

Go! Go! Go!

If you're not Joey, why are you acting all high and mighty?

Dust Mountain shoved Xiao Gang aside, ready to resume the unfinished battle.

Xiao Gang almost lost his balance.

"You...you all, let me finish speaking first..."

Muddy glanced at him sideways.
