Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Some people even whispered, "Rotten fish against rotten fish, rotten shrimp against rotten shrimp."

After all, it's Pikachu, you know what I mean.

And the trumpet bud... that's pretty much just one by the roadside.

Pikachu tilted its head, its ears twitching up and down, looking at the small, shorter Trumpet Sprout opposite it.

It blinked its eyes and waddled over on its short legs.

Without the slightest hesitation, Pikachu stretched out its little paw and patted the trumpet bud.

Ok.

It feels soft and smooth, like a fresh tomato.

"Pikachu, Pikachu—!"

Pikachu pointed directly at Ash.

This feels really good!

Now the mouse understands why the Onix tried to coil around it!

"Tsk, right?"

Bellsprout glanced at the Pikachu opposite it, which looked quite pleased.

The leaf-like arm gently wrapped around its outstretched claw.

"Pikachu?"

Huh?

There's also interaction, so cute!

Pikachu was still squinting.

But the next second, a tremendous force came from the leaf.

The seemingly slender body of the trumpet bud sank and twisted with incredible flexibility.

The entire Pokémon seemed to have become a rotating axis.

It cleverly combines Pikachu's weight with its own core strength.

Then came a perfect over-the-shoulder throw!

Pikachu's entire body was swung over Bellsprout's head, drawing an arc in mid-air before crashing to the ground back down with a loud thud!

Dust billowed up, and a small, mouse-shaped pit appeared in the center of the field.

Pikachu looked completely bewildered, and the entire place fell silent.

Only the trumpet bud patted its two leaves, straightened up again, and struck a proper and steady starting pose.

Ah!

Speak up! Why aren't you saying anything?

Why are you haters so quiet now!

Think it's weak? Think it's just a roadside stall?

Then you might as well think about it, how could such an ordinary Pokémon be able to squeeze into Kaoru's Pokémon team!

244. How can this be allowed?!

"it is good......."

The silence lasted only a moment before the roar from the stands exploded.

"...What a cool over-the-shoulder throw!"

"Indeed, those movements and postures are so fluid! They're simply fluid and graceful!"

"How can there be such a cool Pokémon as Bellsprout!"

The audience's tone immediately shifted, and they began to lavish praise on Trumpet Sprout's bravery.

After all, this is the Northeast, and the people here have seen too many bizarre scenes. Their ability to accept things has long been honed to the point of being as tough as leather.

As long as you can fight, let alone a trumpet bud, even if you put a sunflower seed here and do this over-the-shoulder throw, they will applaud and cheer for it on the spot!

"P-Pikachu?"

The stands were filled with murmurs, but in the pit, Pikachu's two short legs kicked at the air in vain.

Its head was buzzing, and it was still a little dazed.

Although this move looks powerful and heavy.

But this only made the mouse, who often trained with Ash, a little dizzy.

Seriously, this one wasn't even as lethal as the slap Lillie delivered.

But once the dizziness wore off, Pikachu suddenly realized something was wrong.

A head pat, an over-the-shoulder throw...

This feeling, this experience, right now, is just like it was back then!

broken!

The mouse has turned into a giant rock snake!

How can this be allowed?!

Realizing something was terribly wrong, Pikachu suddenly contracted and sprang up its waist.

The mouse immediately used Splash, and with a nimble Magikarp flip, it flipped itself out of the pit.

"Pikachu!"

Before Xiao Zhi could even speak, it charged straight out.

With a serious expression, Pikachu clenched its front paws into fists, preparing to unleash its serious attack!

In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of the trumpet bud.

With its right claw firmly clenched, it slammed straight towards the opponent's large head!

The force of the punches was strong and made a whooshing sound.

But faced with this fierce attack, Trumpet Sprout remained completely calm.

Using the force of the punch, it slightly shifted its lithe body to the left, and Pikachu's fist grazed the edge.

Immediately afterwards, Bellsprout stretched out its slender, short leg that looked as if it would break at the slightest touch, and slowly hooked it towards the back of Pikachu's leg.

"Pikachu?!"

A gasp escaped his lips.

Pikachu lost its balance again.

But this time it learned its lesson.

The moment it fell forward, it immediately curled into a round ball, rolled a few times with the momentum, leaving a shallow mark on the ground, and forcibly stabilized its center of gravity.

Then it stretched out its body, landed on all fours again, and stood firmly.

"Sizzle~"

The trumpet bud retracted its leg somewhat unexpectedly, its leaves trembled slightly, and then it rearranged itself, beckoning the leaves to Pikachu.

"Holy crap! He dodged it again!"

"What a cool throw!"

"I feel like this Bellsprout's fighting skills are better than many Fighting-type Pokémon!"

"Are all Grass-type Pokémon this curly now?!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.

Many people stood up and craned their necks, afraid of missing any detail.

Just as Pikachu, caught up in its excitement, was about to pounce again with a kick of its hind legs, Ash's voice came from the sidelines.

"Pikachu! Hold on!"

"Don't rush! The trumpet buds are already prepared!"

Pikachu suddenly stopped, its four paws scraping the ground and leaving shallow marks.

It glanced back at Ash, then turned back to examine Bellsprout's relaxed and ready posture, before calling out to Ash.

"Pikachu!"

The mouse wasn't in a hurry!

It was just trying to bluff the other side...

Yes, I just wanted to bluff my opponent's skills!

Ash: "......."

Seeing Pikachu's stubbornness, Ash didn't point it out.

In front of so many people, we should still give Pikachu some face.

After listening to Ash's advice, the cautious Pikachu raised its little fist and tentatively approached with small, hopping steps.

They approached Trumpet Sprout, whose pose was somewhat stiff.

Without any pretense, Pikachu starts with zero frames and unleashes a few weaker versions of Ash's Mega Punch!

"Whoosh-!"

"Whoosh-!"

"Whoosh-!"

The wind howled from the punch.

Just by hearing the sound of the wind, you can tell that every punch Pikachu throws carries real force!
