Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

He yawned.

The caterpillar lazily rolled over there.

Before it could even get within a meter.

Pidgey got hard even while it was still standing at attention.

Is this...this...this...also part of the test?!

Is the difficulty really this high right from the start?!

The green caterpillar was rolling closer and closer.

Pidgey kept telling himself that this was his recipe, his recipe, but his honest body was trembling more and more violently.

Just as the caterpillar was about to touch its claws—

"Scream—!!!"

Pidgey, its psychological defenses completely collapsed, let out a piercing cry.

Its feathers bristled, it flapped its wings violently, and leaped into the air in a panic!

"grumble?!"

The dazed caterpillar was jolted awake by the sudden noise and the bird's claw nearly stepping on it.

It stopped rolling, looked up at the Pidgey bird that was flapping wildly in the air and shouting incessantly, and frowned deeply.

I've always disliked you because you're so greedy for your own body.

Do you still dare to disturb the insect's precious nap time?

Shouting at the insect's head?

Ho!

A perfectly precise white worm silk shot upwards from its mouth.

It hit Pidgey's annoying beak squarely.

"Compare……!!"

The Pidgey's chirping stopped abruptly, leaving only a muffled groan of terror.

But it's not over yet.

Te! Te! Te!

Several more silk threads were launched in quick succession, fast as lightning, instantly binding Pidgey's wings tightly as it tried to flap them.

Ash was already used to this and skillfully reached out to catch the "Wormbird Ball" falling from the sky.

Slowly untangle the threads binding it.

"They're still the same as ever."

Shaking his head, Xiao Gang came over carrying four plates filled with food.

Ash took the plate and placed one portion in front of Caterpie, who was still sulking and had his back turned to Pidgey.

Then another portion was placed next to Pikachu.

Finally, the remaining portion was pushed towards Pidgey, who had just been freed and was still in shock.

When Pidgey's gaze fell on the few long, bright green vegetables on the plate, its pupils suddenly contracted.

Green, long and narrow...

The fear that had just subsided surged up again!

It took two steps back in terror, its beak agape, about to let out another uncontrollable scream.

The green caterpillar, which was leisurely eating, seemed to sense something, turned its head, and gave it an unfriendly glance.

"Gah..."

Pidgey immediately shut its beak tightly, swallowing back its scream.

Under the insect's might, it didn't even dare to scream.

All she could do was stare wide-eyed, letting large tears well up in her eyes.

Dad, Mom.

The insects here are really scary!

Ash, seeing Pidgeotto's overreaction, looked down and carefully examined the dishes on the plate.

It dawned on me.

Without saying a word, he picked up the plate that belonged to Pidgey and sat down on the ground in front of it.

Use chopsticks to carefully pick out all the green vegetables and long, thin foods and put them into your bowl.

I checked repeatedly to make sure that no shapes or colors were left that might disturb Pidgey.

Ash then pushed the cleaned plate in front of Pidgeotto.

"Here, you can eat now."

Pidgey was stunned.

Tears welled up in his eyes, shifting back and forth between Ash's face and the clean food in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, it saw Ash casually pick up a "dangerous green strip" that he had just picked out of his plate and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

Chew and swallow.

Then, he revealed a smile without a trace of gloom.

"See, it's okay! These are just ordinary vegetables, they have nothing to do with Xiaoxia's cooking skills, don't worry."

Xia, who was eating, suddenly looked up: "?"

It's not my business?

For it...

Trainers even personally tasted the food to prove its safety?

Pidgey's defenses were gently breached at that moment.

It cautiously lowered its head and tentatively pecked at the food in the plate.

There was no poisoning, and no unusual symptoms.

Hunger and a sense of security surged up at the same time, and it could no longer resist, so it began to eat faster and faster.

As she ate, large tears dripped into her plate.

good to eat!

too delicious!

It's not just the taste, but also the sense of security it provides.

These days, it hasn't eaten properly due to psychological trauma and is extremely hungry.

In just a moment, the plate was empty.

Look at how it looks like it hasn't eaten at all.

Xiao Zhi glared at Xiao Xia.

Look how hungry the child has become.

What a sin!

Why are you looking at me?

He ignored Xiaoxia.

"Here, I have some more."

Ash pushed his plate towards Pidgeotto.

"Oh, right."

As he spoke, he picked out all the long, green, strip-shaped foods from his bowl.

Pidgey raised its head, staring blankly at Ash's actions, its beak slightly open.

Shock, confusion, emotion, grievance...

"Isn't there still something in the pot...?"

"Pickup!"

Xiaoxia was about to say that there was still plenty left in the pot when Pikachu interrupted her.

Pikachu gave Misty a disdainful look.

Watch carefully and learn well.

These two tricks are enough for you to learn for a lifetime.

The bond between Pidgeotto and Ash rapidly warmed up as they shared food, and Pidgeotto finally stopped being polite and started eating the food Ash gave it.

After eating three large portions, Pidgey, with its round, bulging belly, finally let out a satisfied sigh.

"Better shout~"

Worth it!

For the sake of this meal, no, for the sake of this sentiment, I will follow you for the rest of my life!

It turned its head and looked at Ash, who had been patiently staying by its side, its eyes becoming incredibly firm.

"Shout!"

From today onwards, as long as you provide food—no, regardless of whether you provide food or not—this little bird will be willing to go through fire and water for you, and charge into battle!

Ash patted the big bird.

"We're partners, and besides, isn't it a trainer's duty to take care of Pokémon?"

"Pikachu".
