Pikachu looked at Misty.

"Don't rush me! I'm writing it down! I'm writing it down!"

"Moreover, I do have a real shortage of Pokémon with combat capabilities."

Ash's gaze swept over Pikachu, finally settling on the fast-sleeping Caterpie, a hint of wistfulness in his eyes.

"I am indeed a bit short of combat power that can be put to immediate use."

"From now on, I'm afraid I'll really have to rely on you a lot in many situations, Bibi Bird."

Pidgey instinctively glanced at the harmless caterpillar next to it, which ate and slept soundly, and the fear of being controlled by its silk threads flashed through its mind.

That person... isn't considered "a useful fighting force"?

So what exactly counts?!

Ash said, having discerned Pidgeotto's thoughts.

"The green caterpillar is weak and can't compare to you. In the future, you may have to shoulder many heavy responsibilities."

After all, Caterpie needs to accumulate energy to evolve continuously.

It's not convenient for them to participate in battles frequently.

But to Pidgey, these words stirred up a different kind of turmoil.

Her physical condition is weak... she needs rest and recuperation... unlike me...

These keywords echoed repeatedly in Pidgey's mind, like a sudden thunderclap!

Pidgey: "!!!"

The caterpillar is weak; you must strive harder!

39. Beastmaster!

"Pipikay! Use Quick Attack!"

"Pikachu! Pikachu!"

"Shout!"

With a loud roar from Ash and Pikachu.

The Pidgey in the air let out a long cry, its sharp eyes instantly locking onto the little Rattata below.

Immediately, his figure transformed into a bolt of lightning—

Swish!

"Little Rattata! Watch out from the side!"

Although its trainer had warned it, Pidgeotto's unparalleled speed left Rattata with no time to react.

Before I could even spot Pidgey, I was blocked from view by a Pidgey at a tricky angle and slammed hard into my side!

"Wow! That's incredibly fast!"

On the sidelines, Xiao Gang stood with his arms crossed.

His dark face was filled with amazement.

So fast.

No wonder that out of such a large flock of Pidgeys in the Evergreen Forest, only one remained!

Those slower than it have probably all been captured!

After all, anyone who has ever been chased by a Beedrill knows that.

To protect his own backside.

You don't need to be super fast, just one point faster than your teammates.

"Pikachu! Pikachu!"

"Pikachu is right! Don't give it a chance to breathe! Finish it off with a wing attack!"

They succeeded in one strike.

Ash, readily accepting Pikachu's advice, immediately gave a loud command.

The Pidgey birds in the air responded to the call.

Its wings suddenly spread open, taking advantage of the sunlight for cover.

Pidgey immediately launched a mid-air dive!

In a flash, the brown figure's wings slammed firmly onto the little Rattata who was just trying to get up!

Peng!

A muffled thud.

Having no chance to retaliate, Radamanthys was once again sent flying.

After rolling around on the ground twice in a sorry state, it finally collapsed and could no longer fight.

"Little Rattata!"

The trainer on the other side quickly ran forward.

"In just two days, Ash and Pidgeotto have developed such a high level of coordination..."

Xiaoxia watched intently.

She subconsciously touched the quotes Xiao Zhi had written down over the past two days in her pocket.

It seems this thing... really works?

Okay, it's decided then!

Try it out on your own Pokémon today!

The battle is over.

Ash stretched out his right arm, and Pidgeotto folded its wings and landed steadily on it.

"Well done, Pidgey! That's the feeling!"

"Pikachu!"

Xiao Zhi was adorned with a yellow stalk on his left shoulder and a hawk on his right, making him look incredibly impressive.

"Shout!"

Pidgey raised its head proudly after being praised by its trainer.

came back!

They're all back!

Back in the day, in the Evergreen Forest, with its impressive speed, wasn't it a true "overlord"?

Let alone a small Rada!

It was Beedrill and Spearow who heard their name, the brown glittering name of the Evergreen Forest.

They all instinctively had to protect the tree fruit in their arms!

"That's amazing..."

The trainer on the other side carefully checked the unconscious Rattata and, after confirming that it was alright, cautiously put it back into its Poké Ball.

He looked up at Xiaozhi, his face showing a hint of frustration, but even more so, admiration.

"Is this the power of the Pokémon that was all the rage a couple of years ago? They're really strong!"

"Shout!"

Upon hearing this, Pidgey puffed out its chest even higher.

powerful?

He is the king of the Pidgey family.

I am strong, that's for sure!

Let alone a mere little Lada!

Even if a caterpillar were right in front of him... he would dare to use his claws!

Two days of fighting.

Through getting to know Ash, Pidgeotto has gained a lot of confidence!

"...No wonder your whole family was arrested before!"

The boy sighed.

Pidgey: "?"

It tilted its head, paused for a moment, and then seemed to understand what it was saying.

Instantly, all the feathers on its body bristled.

flapping its wings, it was ready to let the trainer opposite it taste the sharpness of its beak!

"Shout! Shout—!!!"

Your whole family was arrested and wiped out!

"Alright, alright, calm down!"

Ash quickly reached out and gently pressed down on Pidgeotto's neck, stroking its feathers a few times, which finally calmed it down.

"Ahem! Let's not talk about this anymore."

Xiao Zhi cleared his throat, looked across at the other side, and tried to change the subject.

"Your little Rada is actually quite nice too."

The boy scratched his head and laughed.

"But I'm still not as good as you..."
