Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Xiaoxia: "..."

Holy crap, the power of dragons!

Eating this stuff is worse than eating energy cubes!

Moreover, these items are usually used in conjunction with energy cubes, and the dosage listed is the amount added per can of energy cubes.

That's not how you eat!

She looked at the handful of colorful pills in Ash's hand, then at Ash's sincere expression, and silently moved her bottom back a little.

"No...no need, really...thank you so much for your...generous sharing."

She refused curtly, her voice sounding weak and unsteady.

"I...I still prefer...um...a more natural way of training, step by step, relying on my own potential."

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil.

She now understood why this guy was so incredibly strong, almost inhuman!

This terrifying drug resistance!

He eats like that and is still alive and kicking. No wonder he can withstand heavenly lightning and achieve physical sainthood!

"Oh...so you're a conservative who only believes in one-sided natural exercise."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi nodded thoughtfully, a look of "those who walk different paths cannot make plans together" appearing on his face.

Without saying anything more, he carefully gathered up the bottles and jars again, as if he were packing up some family heirloom.

Ash felt a little disappointed that his missionary work hadn't been successful.

These days, relying solely on innate talent and hard work is outdated and inefficient!

Technology! Technology is the primary productive force, the shortcut to breaking through the limits of living organisms and becoming stronger!

It seems that this temporary companion's thinking is too conservative and has not yet kept up with the trend of the times.

"I...I can actually still cook some normal human food."

Xiaoxia quickly changed the subject, afraid that Xiaozhi would change his mind again and start a new round of "supplement sales pitches".

"Look how dense the trees are in this forest, and how good the ecology is. We're sure to find plenty of edible tree fruits."

She pointed to the dark woods around them, trying to draw Ash's attention to nature.

"You also have Pikachu, both of whom are quite agile. Shall we split up and go find some berries?"

Xiaoxia added one last thing in a low voice.

"Let me see if I can use the most natural ingredients to make something we can eat..."

"Tree fruit? No problem! I'm an expert at that! I've received special training in identifying tree fruit!"

Ash was immediately drawn to the new task and readily agreed.

There's no need to rush when it comes to spreading the word.

If Xiaoxia sees the benefits of taking drugs, she definitely won't be able to resist.

Ash quickly packed all the treasures into his backpack and patted Pikachu's head in front of him.

"Let's go, Corporal Pikachu!"

"Execute the mission!"

"Pika, Ka,"

Pikachu let out a muffled groan.

His entire head was slapped so hard that it sank into the soft woodland soil, leaving only his furry body sticking out, his two short legs kicking helplessly in the air.

He struggled to pull his head out of the soil, where it had been slapped into the ground.

He shook off the dirt that was stuck to his skin.

Pikachu glared fiercely at Ash.

As for taking action?

It was a civilized mouse and disdained bullying Little Smart.

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I didn't control my strength well again."

Pikachu angrily swatted the dirt off its face with its little paws, then nimbly climbed up and jumped onto Ash's shoulder again.

It has no intention of giving up this exclusive seat.

It was grooming its messy fur while thinking with its little head.

Judging from what Xiaozhi said earlier, it seems that the reason he became so strong is largely related to eating those colorful candies.

Should I... also consider this?

5. Between the strong, there is no need for many words!

They hadn't gone very far.

Even before Pikachu on my shoulder could react with its keen senses.

Ash's gaze pierced through the darkness of the forest, locking onto a tree not far away with a few blue fruits hanging from its branches.

For Satoshi, whose physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, the visual difference between day and night is not significant.

At this moment, the forest in his eyes was nothing more than stepping from a sun-drenched outdoors into a dimly lit indoor space.

At most, you just need to pay more attention to the details to see them clearly.

"Oh, it's an orange fruit,"

He tilted his head slightly and spoke to Pikachu, who was straining its eyes to search for something, perched on his shoulder.

"This stuff tastes alright. Although it's not sweet, it's crunchy when you bite into it."

“When I was little, every time my mom beat me, I would go out and find some oranges to eat, and I would recover to about 70% the next day, and then I could be beaten again.”

Xiao Zhi's tone was tinged with nostalgia.

Pikachu: "?"

Several figurative question marks seemed to appear on its little head.

Leaving aside the fact that it hadn't even seen what kind of fruit was growing on the tree in the distance yet.

Just consider Ash's casual remark about "childhood memories".

All it could say was that it didn't understand, but it was deeply moved.

.....

under the tree.

A pale purple mouse with distinctive front teeth is tilting its head back, gazing longingly at the plump fruit on the treetop, with a suspicious glint of moisture at the corner of its mouth.

The Evergreen Forest during the day is probably quite friendly to trainers.

But once night falls, this place completely transforms into a playground for wild Pokémon to roam and forage, becoming a completely different world.

Which one should I eat today?

That one looks the biggest and has the darkest color, it must be the best!

For a little Rattata that doesn't know any ranged skills, finding a tree that it can barely climb up and down with its claws and jumping ability is no easy task.

"Click".

The sound of a dead branch breaking underfoot suddenly rang out.

Little Rada's alert ears instantly perked up like radar, and it abruptly turned towards the source of the sound.

A tall human figure was seen approaching him directly.

It immediately emitted a sharp squeaking sound.

At the same time, it suddenly stood upright, spread its claws forward, and pressed its whole body tightly against the rough tree trunk behind it, trying to form a cross shape.

They try to make themselves look bigger and more intimidating.

Ash casually glanced at the Rattata, which could probably only reach his knees even if it jumped, and didn't take the threat seriously.

He strode up to the tree.

Pikachu wanted to lend a hand, but Ash stopped it.

I estimated the force.

He clenched his fist slightly and struck the tree trunk directly.

He made a sneak attack right in front of Little Rada.

"Boom!"

A dull thud was heard, and the tree trunk visibly shook.

Fruits of all sizes fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Xiao Zhi restrained his strength and did not shake all the fruits down; he only shook down about a third of them.

Taking only what you need and leaving some for the natives is an unspoken rule among trainers in the wild.

After all, berries have always been an important food source for wild Pokémon.

Wild Pokémon also need to rely on these resources to survive.

It wasn't because of kindness or any lofty reason.

It's simply because Pokémon can fill their stomachs, even the most irritable and easily angered Pokémon by nature.

As long as the trainer does not provoke them or knowingly violate their territory, they usually will not cause trouble for the trainer without reason.

Like the infamous bullies of the Evergreen Forest—the Beedrill swarm and the Spearow swarm.

Their most extreme actions are usually just driving away intruders or beating them until they are temporarily unconscious and incapacitated; they rarely actually kill them.

This is a subtle understanding that has formed between humans and Pokémon over a long period of time.
