Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Xiaoxia was speechless for a moment.

Have you known each other for even a minute?

How could you trust the other person so much?

"It must be somewhere around here..."

As Ash spoke, he took out two Poké Balls.

"Come out, Caterpie! Pidgey!"

"Alright! Today we'll practice coordinated reconnaissance operations—"

Two flashes of white light appeared, and Caterpie and Pidgey appeared simultaneously in the open space.

However, before Ash could finish speaking, the two Pokémon that had just appeared made eye contact, and the atmosphere instantly changed.

"Shout—!!"

Pidgey's sharp eyes glanced down at the green caterpillar on the ground.

It raised its head and let out a cry that was clearly one of superiority.

Who am I, Your Majesty?

So it was a weak and sickly green caterpillar?

As it spoke, it deliberately flapped its wings twice, raising a small gust of sand that blew all over the caterpillar's face.

"grumble!"

Feeling itchy?

The green caterpillar immediately objected.

With puffed-out cheeks and bright black eyes glaring defiantly at Pidgey, its body slightly arched.

It's not some soft worm that can be easily manipulated!

You want war? Then let's fight!

Good! I've long wanted to avenge this humiliation!

Xiao Zhi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

However, before he could even speak, both sides had already taken action.

The Pipi bird's beak is like an arrow, and it suddenly pecks down.

Caterpie, not to be outdone, stubbornly charged forward, using all its strength to crash directly into Pidgey!

At this critical moment, Ash suddenly rushed forward.

In a moment of desperation, he disregarded everything else and forcefully squeezed between the bird and the insect!

"Stop it, all of you—!!"

He stretched out his left hand and firmly pressed his palm against the Pidgey bird's beak.

With a swift downward sweep of his right hand, his arm blocked the caterpillar's head as it charged forward.

Ash stood in the middle, using his left arm to block birds and his right arm to block insects.

"Shout!"

"grumble!"

The bird and the insect were locked in a fierce battle, glaring at each other even through Ash's eyes, their expressions menacing.

"This is... a scene of carnage!"

Xiaoxia was immediately excited!

Generally speaking, the more Pokémon a player has, the more likely they are to encounter this situation.

Even someone like Ash, with only three Pokémon, can encounter this.

It is indeed a rare occurrence.

Xiao Zhi looked around, his face full of trouble.

"Why did it have to come to this... why did it have to come to this?"

"You are all important family to me, willing to travel with me and fight alongside me!"

These words were spoken.

Both Pidgey and Caterpie, who were orphans, froze slightly.

His momentum unconsciously slowed down by three points.

Ash looked at the Pidgey on his left and then at the Caterpie on his right.

“I know that you two are both highly skilled and incredibly powerful.”

"They all possess first-rate talent, but... sigh~"

At this point, Ash shook his head and let out a long sigh.

The two Pokémon were taken aback by his long sigh.

"grumble?"

"Compare shouting?"

If that's the case, why sigh so deeply?

Seeing that their attention had been drawn, Xiao Zhi spoke slowly.

"What I lament is that we have yet to encounter a formidable foe, and the road ahead remains uncertain."

"As family, we should be united and work together to overcome difficulties, but instead you've fought amongst yourselves, damaging our harmony..."

Xiao Zhi paused for a moment, letting his words sink into their hearts.

Then he spoke, word by word.

"Aren't you just causing pain to your loved ones and joy to your enemies?!"

Upon hearing this...

The Pidgey and Caterpie, who were not very educated, all lowered their heads.

"Gee~"

"Better shout~"

I saw the shame on their faces.

Ash released his arm, a relieved smile on his face.

"I'm glad you understand my good intentions..."

"How about this?"

"Today I'll take charge. Since you are all my right-hand men, and each of you possesses unique skills and extraordinary talent—"

He then changed the subject.

"Why not swear an oath of brotherhood right here and now, sharing both good and bad fortune, and fighting side by side? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

The caterpillar looked at Pidgey.

Pidgey also looked at Caterpie.

Ash is right! ×2

Pidgey was the first to conceal its sharpness, let out a soft chirp, and gently touched the caterpillar's antennae with the tip of its beak.

The caterpillar also stretched its body and responded with a friendly sound.

Xiaoxia held her notebook, watching this scene of brotherly affection, her pen moving quickly across the paper.

"If we get into a fight, we'll first declare ourselves family and then form a sworn brotherhood..."

Ash breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the two Pokémon getting along harmoniously.

He raised his hand and wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead.

As a master of impartiality, he touched the fluffy head of Pikachu at his feet with lingering fear, lowered his voice, and sighed with emotion.

"You're so easy to deal with, Pikachu! You never give me these kinds of problems. I'm so relieved!"

"Pickup!"

That goes without saying!

Pikachu proudly tossed its little head and patted its chest with its little paw.

Brothers!

In my heart!

I've always been on your side, little mouse!

"but……"

Xiao Gang, who had been quietly observing, suddenly spoke up after a moment of contemplation.

He frowned slightly, as if he was seriously considering a very practical problem.

"Now that we've become sworn brothers, there should be an order of seniority, right?"

As the eldest brother in the family, Xiao Gang raised a crucial question.

Ash: "?!"

Teacher Gang!

You betrayed me?!

These words caused the previously warm atmosphere to freeze for a moment.

Both the caterpillar and Pidgey opened their mouths at the same time.

"Chirp!" "Squeak!"

Of course it's me! ×2
