Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Pikachu: "..."

The man and the mouse exchanged a glance and fell into deep thought.

so.

The champion is not afraid of its attacks.

It's because they're afraid of a landslide.

"Temporarily avoid the limelight" refers to this.

It's not that I'm avoiding you, it's that I'm avoiding the stone!

166. I need help urgently, I'm waiting online!

The fossil pterosaur looked at the expression on the face of the man and the rat.

Although it doesn't have any superpowers, we don't know what the human and the rat are thinking.

But judging from the gradually fading luster in their eyes...

It's unlikely to be a positive review.

No!

That won't do!

As the signature idol of Fossil Paradise, I need to quickly change the subject!

"Roar...cough—"

The fossil pterosaur coughed twice, cleared its throat, and then spoke in a consultative tone.

Um, you two big shots.

I want to discuss something with you...

Xiao Zhi hasn't answered yet.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu spoke up first.

Upon hearing the word "big boss," it immediately recognized the identity!

Pikachu patted its chest with its little paws, proudly raised its tail, glanced at the Aerodactyl, and spoke arrogantly.

You have quite the eye for talent... Speak, what is it?

As long as it's not too outrageous, I, the little mouse, am willing to consider it!

Upon hearing this, the fossil pterosaur was delighted and pointed outside with its claws.

Through the cracks in the giant rock, one could see the audience craning their necks to peer inside.

They seemed puzzled as to why there were no sounds of fighting coming from within.

The murmurs grew louder.

Several bolder individuals even attempted to sneak closer, but their actions were immediately and sternly stopped by the staff.

Hey guys, look at all these people outside. I'm a star attraction at the amusement park, after all.

It wouldn't sound good if we just slunk away like that.

The fossil pterosaur grinned broadly, rubbing its claws together in front of its chest.

Could you guys... help me make some noise?

Should we just pretend we had a fierce fight?

Pikachu's eyes lit up when it heard the words "had a fierce battle".

The little fist was raised again, and the electricity crackled on his cheeks.

"Pikachu!"

I'm good at this!

let me!

Upon seeing Pikachu's stance, the fossil pterosaur reflexively shrank back half a meter.

The swelling in my jaw started to throb again.

"Hoohoho!"

It quickly shook its head and added in rapid succession.

No, no, no, you don't need to do it!

What I mean is, we're just acting, not really fighting!

You can just throw a few electric shocks, I'll just yell a couple of times, and then it's a draw and that's it.

how about it?

Pikachu lowered its fist, looking somewhat disappointed.

Is it a fake fight?

That won't work!

I, the little mouse, never do anything dishonest or fraudulent!

In a battle, you have to fight fair and square!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi nodded.

"Indeed, if we're going to fight, we'll fight. We don't do any of that nonsense."

Pikachu stands with its hands on its hips.

That's right! That's right!

Even if you're a great talker and can call someone a big shot, it won't work!

This is a matter of principle!

"After wandering the world for so many months, all I've relied on is 'authenticity'!"

The pterosaur's smile froze on its face.

The legendary path... is it destined to end here today?

Its mind had already begun automatically replaying tomorrow's headlines—

Shocking! The Fossil Park's star attraction broke down in tears, and the reason is...

Former Sky King Becomes a Laughingstock as Fans Block Ticket Entrance Demand Refunds!

Help us! All the fossil pterosaur plush toys in nearby stores have become unsellable overnight, and shopkeepers are clearing out their stock in tears!

Do not--!

Losing your reputation is worse than having to use a Metagross scrubber to clean yourself every day!

Watching Ash turn around, about to break free of the cage.

Fossilized pterosaurs, in a moment of quick thinking, displayed remarkable brain activity.

that……

That.....

Before Ash could poke a hole with one hand, Aerodactyl had a flash of inspiration.

...So, do you have any other Pokémon?

If I could choose an opponent, I promise—I swear—I will give it my all!

It's a real fight!

Go all out!

Absolutely no ambiguity!

Seeing Ash take a step closer to him with every word he uttered, Aerodactyl was praising its own cleverness!

That's right. Even if you're a pro, it's impossible for every Pokémon to be this outrageous, right?

If the opponent is weaker than itself, it will definitely strike with full force!

We can win it back fair and square, preserving our reputation and saving face—perfect!

Intrigued, Ash reached into his waistband and pulled out a few Poké Balls.

How about Bulbasaur?

The pterosaur's brain processed the data rapidly, then it quickly shook its head.

Bulbasaur... Grass type... Grass type is super effective against Rock type.

This is no good, no good!

"Then I still have the Admiral King Crab! Even I would have to fight it!"

The fossil pterosaur refused without even thinking.

Let's not even talk about the fact that the opponent is a water-type...

It had just witnessed this person easily crush a rock bigger than its head.

Even he has to fight? That's outrageous!

"Abandoned Monkey?"

Abandoned Monkey... Fighting type... Fighting type is super effective against Rock type!

"Is that not possible? Then I still have Charmeleon and..."

When it heard the words "fire dragon," the pterosaur's pupils contracted sharply.

Charizard?

Charizard!
