Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

The so-called 3F response refers to the mechanism activated by the brain in order to regain a sense of control and security when faced with a "potential threat".

Freeze, Flight... and the final battle.

As for why Lillie froze...

That's because the paper was written by a researcher based on her behavior.

Although the researcher didn't make any money, publishing a paper is, frankly, a pretty good achievement.

The researcher later won the annual paper award for this paper and was all smiles at the award ceremony.

Of course, Lillie didn't really want to talk about these things.

"I was okay in reacting, but I used a bit too much force."

Lillie lowered her head and looked at her hands.

“When I was doing desensitization training before, I subconsciously resorted to violence at the end…”

"As a result, that Pokémon and the researcher spent three days in the hospital together."

"I tried training it a few more times, but I always ended up hurting the Pokémon."

Lillie's voice grew softer and softer.

"No matter how much I tell myself 'they mean no harm' or 'they won't hurt me,' my body just won't obey me. As long as the fear exceeds a certain threshold, my body will start moving on its own."

"I... I didn't want to hurt them, so... I gave up later."

"Pikachu?"

He's been lying in bed for three days? Really?

Pikachu somehow escaped from Ash's grasp.

It tilted its head, its two ears stood straight up, and its eyes were full of disbelief.

As a mouse that has traveled all over the world with Ash and seen all kinds of storms, Pikachu looked at Ash and then at Lillie.

The little guy took a step forward.

That expression clearly said: Let this mouse give it a try!

Pikachu, positioned between Ash and Pikachu, fearlessly charged forward!

When the yellow figure came into view, Lillie froze for a moment.

She instinctively wanted to escape, but Ash just happened to be standing in her escape route.

Pikachu was approaching from the front, while Ash stood motionless behind.

There is nowhere to escape.

Just as Pikachu was about to extend its evil claws, Lillie, unable to escape, instinctively closed her eyes.

Then her hand moved.

Without warning, without gathering strength, and without any unnecessary movements.

His right hand drew an arc from his side, so fast that the air almost whistled as it cut through the wind.

"Whoosh!"

That palm strike landed squarely on Pikachu.

The angle was so tricky and the attack so decisive that even the battle-hardened Charizard couldn't help but nod in approval.

The younger generation is truly formidable!

"Skin--?!"

Pikachu's eyes widened, and before it could even finish its last syllable, the mouse had already flown several meters away.

Ash's reaction was also quick.

He pushed off with his feet, and his body shot out almost at the same instant Pikachu flew away.

He took two steps at a time, stretched out his arm, protected Pikachu's waist and head, and caught it in mid-air.

Ash steadily supported Pikachu's back with his palm and protected its head with his other hand. He slightly bent his knees when landing, absorbing some of the impact.

Look down at Pikachu.

Its eyes were unfocused, its ears drooped one higher than the other, and the whole mouse was immersed in a philosophical confusion of "what just happened".

One of its cheeks was slightly puffed out, and the handprint on its face was visibly reddening.

Ash weighed the Pikachu in his arms, looked at Lillie, and couldn't help but sigh.

really.

The beast inside his brother is quite terrifying!

And I take back what I said earlier, this person is definitely in the top four of the Pallet Town arm wrestling competition!

......

Realizing she had made another move, Lillie's face turned deathly pale.

She stared blankly at her right hand, which was still in a waving gesture, and then bowed deeply to Pikachu and Ash.

He showcased his physical flexibility.

"I'm so sorry!"

"I really, really didn't mean to!"

"Is Pikachu injured? Should we take it to the Pokémon Center? I... I can cover all the medical expenses!"

Lillie frantically pulled out her credit card, her eyes even welling up with tears.

Ash glanced at Pikachu, who seemed fine except for a slightly swollen face, and waved his hand.

"No, no need."

"And this isn't your fault, Pikachu went there on its own."

Upon hearing this, Pikachu sat up abruptly from Ash's arms.

It raised its little paws and rubbed the still slightly red handprint on its face.

Its expression changed from bewilderment to seriousness, and then from seriousness to a sense of camaraderie among heroes.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

Xiao Zhi is right!

As a Jerry from Northeast China, it was outmatched and accepted the slap!

Lillie was taken aback for a moment when she saw Pikachu's "I can take a loss" attitude, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Pikachu doesn't look injured.

But then, another emotion welled up inside.

She looked down at her hands.

"I guess I still can't do it..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi frowned and his lips curled into a stern smile.

How can someone so young have no self-confidence at all!

How can this work!

"enough!"

"Lift your head up! Get your act together!"

"Shout!"

"Yes Yes!"

Pidgey and Lillie were startled by the sudden volume, their bodies reacting before their brains could process it.

Pidgey folded its wings, and its claws dug two shallow marks into the grass beneath its feet.

Lillie stiffened her neck, raised her chin, and stood ramrod straight like a kitten being lifted up.

Ash waved to Pidgey to signal it to relax, then turned to Lillie and scolded her.

"It's just one failure, what's there to be so discouraged about!"

"Can......"

"But what do you mean, 'but'!"

Xiao Zhi took a few steps forward.

Why is his brother so whiny and girly?

"Let me tell you, I have a friend who can fail hundreds of times, but the next day he can still get up and keep fighting as if nothing happened!"

"Compared to that, what is your little setback!"

Pikachu jumped to the ground, patted its chest with one little paw, and nodded solemnly.

"Pikachu! Pikachu!"

That's right!That's right!

This little mouse can testify to this!

Xiao Zhi does indeed have a friend who is like that!

Lillie hesitated for a moment, her gaze falling on the still faintly red handprint on Pikachu's face.

"It will...it will hurt Pikachu..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pikachu objected.

"Pikachu—!"

Pikachu jumped down from Ash's arms, its two short legs on its hips and its tail held high.

What nonsense! What kind of talk is that!

Afraid of hurting this little hamster? Who do you think you are!
