But Ash and Brock got excited.

Zubat!

As for why they were excited, they only said one thing.

Poison plus flight!

"This one... won't do!" Ash's sharp eyes swept across the swarm of bats, quickly making a judgment.

"This one is too skinny!" Xiao Gang commented, shaking his head.

"This one is too small!" Ash continued to reject the idea.

“This one…?” Xiao Gang looked at the other one.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu perched on Ash's shoulder, pointing with its little paw, as if to say, "This one looks too clever! No way!"

The two people and the mouse watched and muttered to themselves.

"Wait! This is amazing!"

Xiao Gang's eyes lit up, and he immediately locked onto one of the largest Zubats, which looked like it could eat a lot and was actually quite foolish.

With a flick of his arm, a Poké Ball flew out with pinpoint accuracy!

With a bang.

A red light flashed, and the Poké Ball instantly captured the Zubat!

The ball landed on the ground and began to sway from side to side.

Xiao Gang and Xiao Zhi immediately held their breath, their hearts pounding in their throats.

One, two, three...

"Den!"

With a crisp beep, the Poké Ball stopped shaking and became quiet.

"Success!"

"Success!"

"Pickup!"

The two people and the mouse excitedly high-fived in celebration.

Xiaoxia then cautiously peeked out from behind Xiaozhi.

She looked at the Poké Ball in Xiao Gang's hand that had captured Zubat with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? Brock, aren't you a Rock-type trainer? Why did you suddenly decide to catch a Zubat?"

Xiao Gang tucked the Poké Ball back into his waistband, and upon hearing this, simply smiled meaningfully.

"It's nothing, just a backup plan, a backup plan, just in case."

......

After checking the Pokédex's battery level, the three carefully entered the dimly lit cave using its built-in flashlight function.

The cave was more complex than Xiaoxia had imagined.

The passageway is not only winding and labyrinthine, but also has so many forks that it's dizzying.

If Xiaogang hadn't had the map of the cave, they really wouldn't have been able to get through.

While keeping an eye on the uneven ground beneath his feet, Xiao Zhi looked at the seemingly random and winding path in front of him and asked a question.

"Xiaogang, didn't you say before that the tunnel at Mount Tsukimi was opened using a large tunnel boring machine?"

"Why isn't this tunnel straight at all?"

"This...?"

Xiao Gang carefully examined the map using the light of the encyclopedia, cautiously leading the way while answering questions without looking up.

"Actually, I don't know the specific reason either, because I was still young at that time."

"I've only heard the adults say that this cave was quite strange when it was being built. The construction team reported that in some places the rock strata were unusually fragile, and they even connected themselves without the use of machinery..."

He was speaking.

Suddenly, a short, nimble figure flashed out from the shadows of the fork in the road ahead!

"Wow! What is that now?!"

Xiaoxia's nerves were on edge the whole time, and she was startled by the sudden appearance of the shadow, almost jumping up.

But sharp-eyed Xiaozhi had already spotted the pink figure.

It has a star-like outline, is entirely pink, and only its ears are brown.

Her eyes were small, giving her an innocent and naive look, and there was a cute little curl on her forehead.

"Pi~?"

The newcomer tilted his head, his small, curious eyes scrutinizing the three uninvited guests.

Xiao Zhi suddenly felt a jolt.

"It's Baby Prickly!"

"Pee-baby?" Xiao Gang was a little surprised. "These days, not to mention Pee-baby, even wild Pee-babies are rare in Tsukimi Mountain."

"They are said to have a deep connection with the Moon Stone and are very mysterious Pokémon."

"Pee-chan...Moonstone..."

Ash muttered to himself, as if a flash of lightning had struck his mind.

"Huh? I seem to remember a rather interesting rumor..."

Looking at Pi Baobao's irresistibly cute appearance, Xiaoxia's fear was instantly replaced by a surge of affection, and her eyes lit up.

"So cute!"

She immediately took out a Poké Ball, intending to throw it directly.

But then he paused for a moment and asked Ash.

"Ash, do you want to catch it?"

Since Ash was the one who noticed the anomaly first, out of courtesy between trainers, she needed to ask about it.

Lost in thought, Ash glanced at Clefairy's small, delicate, and seemingly frail appearance, and decisively shook his head.

"Forget it, with her skinny arms and legs, she'll suffer a lot following me, and this pink color scheme doesn't suit my style at all."

He then fell into thought again.

"Alright! Then I won't be polite!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia immediately beamed with joy.

"Hey!"

A ball was thrown at the clueless and ignorant baby.

It was about to hit.

Suddenly, an enlarged version of Pippi appeared.

Compared to Pi Bao Bao, it has an extra pair of wings on its back, larger curly hair on its head, and even more wrinkles around its eyes, making it look like it often stays up late working overtime.

"Picoshi?!"

Xiao Gang exclaimed in amazement.

Unexpectedly, they even ran into Piccolo.

As the final evolution of Clefairy, this thing is not much more than Clefairy!

Clefairy's eyes narrowed, and she raised her hand, slapping the incoming Poké Ball away with a clean, decisive motion!

The Poké Ball changed direction due to the force and flew straight towards Ash's face!

"I remember now!"

Just then, Ash finally caught the knowledge that flashed through his mind.

He felt something coming towards him, and his muscles moved involuntarily.

Like swatting a fly, he casually slapped her.

The Poké Ball flew straight towards Misty.

"oops!"

With a cry of pain, the Poké Ball struck Misty squarely in the center of her forehead.

The impact made her see stars and she fell backward to the ground.

"Pi~ Pi~"

The little rascal seemed to find the scene very interesting, clapping his little hands happily without blinking.

But Pixi, fiercely protective of his offspring, didn't let up at all. He grabbed the watching Pibao and quickly ran towards the depths of the cave.

"Hey! Don't run away! My little rascal!"

Covering her swollen forehead, Xiaoxia hurriedly called out.

"I think Professor Oak told me about it."

Ash finally revealed the rumor he had just remembered.

"It's said that Clefairy and Clefairy might not have originally been native to this area, but rather were extraterrestrial stowaways from outer space!"

As for why they are called illegal immigrants.

That's naturally because of a certain divine beast that is exceptionally sensitive to extraterrestrial objects.

It is said that anything from outer space, whether dead or alive, male or female, will be hit by its attack first.

He truly is the world's number one inspector in Pokémon.
