Elf: Release? Not possible.

"You must do your best in the Boss League Tournament! We will be watching the game too!!"

As they watched Xiaozhi and the other two walk away, the group waved and shouted.

"Haha! They are actually quite cute!" Although they were dressed up in fancy ways and didn't look like serious people, Xiaoxia, who saw this scene, still felt that these guys were quite cute.

"Yeah! At least they can stick to their own hearts."

Xiaozhi also nodded slightly. Although they usually like to make trouble, compared with Mars and others, they actually have their own bottom line.

After leaving Sunshine Town, the three continued on their journey. Not long after, they entered a jungle again. The jungle is basically the biggest obstacle for trainers and travelers during their journey.

Some forests are too large and vast, so it is easy to get lost, and some are not even on the map, but the three of them have long been accustomed to this kind of life.

At noon, the three of them found a place in the forest to have lunch. Xiaogang took out the lunch box he had prepared long ago, and the three of them randomly found a tree and sat under it to eat their lunch boxes.

Pickup truck??

Pikachu, who was eating a rice ball at this moment, twitched his ears slightly, then stood up and looked to the side, as if looking for something, and soon noticed the grass not far away.

Pickup!!!

When Pikachu heard the sound in the bushes, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Hmm?? What's wrong Pikachu?"

The three of them were slightly stunned and looked at Pikachu. They followed its gaze and soon discovered that a yellow figure in the grass was also looking at them.

"Ah? Is that... Pikachu?" The figure in the bushes was indeed Pikachu, but it was much smaller than Ash's Pikachu.

"Yeah! Judging from the size of the body, it should still be growing."

Xiaogang also nodded slightly. Xiaozhi's Pikachu is a veteran of many battles, so its size is actually larger than that of ordinary Pikachu.

But that Pikachu seemed to have evolved only a short time ago and had not yet fully grown up.

At this time, when the little Pikachu found that everyone had noticed it, a look of vigilance appeared on its face, but there was a bit of confusion in its eyes.

On the one hand, he was afraid of Xiaozhi and the others, and on the other hand, he seemed curious about how the Pikachu in front of him could be with humans. Most importantly, the rice ball in Pikachu's hand looked so tempting.

Pika~~Pika Pika!!

Seeing this, Pikachu slowly took two steps forward, then moved forward, keeping a long distance. Perhaps Pikachu also sensed Little Pikachu's vigilance, so he did not approach immediately.

Xiaozhi and the other two did not say anything. Little Pikachu twitched his nose from a distance, as if he could smell the aroma of the food. In fact, he was attracted by the aroma.

It was only after I came here that I realized there were people here, so I didn't dare to get close.

Pickup truck

Seeing that little Pikachu didn't dare to approach, Pikachu tilted its head slightly and called out, as if to signal little Pikachu not to be afraid.

Little Pikachu felt Pikachu's kindness and approached cautiously. Apparently, he had not completely let down his guard yet. He came to within two or three body lengths of Pikachu and sniffed again.

Pikachu also moved slowly, pushing the rice ball forward as gently as possible. Little Pikachu paused, and the two sides closed the distance again. Pikachu came forward and smelled the rice ball in Pikachu's hand.

Then he took a tentative bite and savored it carefully. After a moment, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

Pickup truck

With a low hum, he took the rice ball from Pikachu's hand and started eating it with relish. Pikachu looked very happy too, and stood by watching the little Pikachu eat like an older brother.

"I didn't expect to see a wild Pikachu here! So cute, I really want to catch it!" Xiaoxia looked at the little Pikachu who was half a head shorter than Xiaozhi's Pikachu, and instantly felt her girlish heart was about to melt.

She had wanted one ever since she saw Xiaozhi’s Pikachu a long time ago, Xiaoxia said as she stood up, and at this moment...

boom! ! !

Gah! ! !

A beam of light popped out from the backpack, and Psyduck appeared in front of everyone. Xiaoxia was slightly stunned when she saw it.

"Why did you come out?" Xiaoxia became angry again when she looked at Psyduck. This guy came out again for no reason.

Ga? ?

Psyduck had a dazed look on his face, then he saw Pikachu and Little Pikachu not far away. Seeing Little Pikachu eating rice balls, he immediately showed a drooling expression and rushed over there.

Pickup truck~~?

Little Pikachu was eating a rice ball, and instinctively felt something. When he raised his head 1.5 meters, he was startled when he saw Psyduck rushing towards him with a perverted look on his face. This little Pikachu was originally shy.

So at this moment, when he saw Psyduck rushing over, he was so scared that he dropped the half-eaten rice ball and ran away.

Pickup truck??

Seeing this, Pikachu was worried about something happening and quickly chased after it, while Psyduck rushed to the rice ball on the ground, and even though it fell to the ground, he picked it up and ate it in one bite without hesitation.

"What are you doing? Pikachu is scared by you!" Xiaoxia was thinking about whether she could capture it, but now it was scared away by Psyduck. She spoke a little angrily.

"Pikachu!" Xiaozhi didn't say much, he got up and chased after him, Xiaogang also packed up his things and followed, Xiaoxia saw this and had no choice but to follow.

Chapter 380: Pikachu Forest (Subscription Request)

Pikachu was chasing Little Pikachu, with Little Pikachu running in front and Pikachu shouting from behind, as if trying to calm Little Pikachu's emotions. However, it was obviously really scared and did not stop immediately.

Xiaozhi and the other two followed closely behind and passed through a jungle. Little Pikachu didn't pay attention to the ground under his feet. Just as he rushed out of the jungle, he came across a turbulent river. Little Pikachu missed a step and fell directly down.

Pickup!!!

In a panic, the little Pikachu didn't have time to stop and fell directly into the water. Because it was still small and the river was fast-flowing, the little Pikachu couldn't keep its body steady after falling and was washed away by the river.

Pikapi!!!

Seeing this, Xiaozhi's Pikachu shouted anxiously, then jumped in without hesitation, moved in the water, and then hugged the little Pikachu. However, with the little Pikachu around, Pikachu couldn't move freely in the turbulent river.

They were both swept away by the force of the current, but Pikachu still held on tightly to the little Pikachu.

“Oops 04!!”

The three of them quickly chased after them at the riverside. Xiaoxia's face changed instantly when she saw this scene. If it weren't for her Psyduck, this wouldn't have happened. That's right, Psyduck!

"Psyduck! You are a water-type Pokémon, go and save Pikachu and the others!" He thought of Psyduck, and figured that since Psyduck is a water-type Pokémon, it would be a good opportunity for him to make up for his mistake.

Padawan didn't think much about it, and ran over stupidly after hearing the sound...

"Wait!!!" Xiaozhi shouted subconsciously when he saw this.

However, Psyduck seemed not to hear and dived into the water. Xiaozhi was speechless when he saw this, and Xiaoxia was also expecting Psyduck to play a role, but...

Gaga gaga!!!

In the water, Psyduck suddenly popped out of the water, waving its limbs around and looking panicked. It looked like it couldn't swim at all. Xiaoxia was stunned when she saw this scene, and her worldview was completely shattered.

"You can't...can't swim??!"

Xiaoxia couldn't believe it and couldn't accept it. The water-type Pokémon couldn't swim. The water-type Psyduck was actually a landlubber.

Xiaozhi was also a little helpless. He was about to stop it, but that silly boy had already jumped down. In fact, it wasn't that Psyduck couldn't swim, but that Misty's Psyduck couldn't swim. Normally, ordinary Psyduck could still swim.

Maybe Xiaoxia's Psyduck is the duck cursed by the sea! Because its superpowers are indeed better than other Psyducks.

"Use the Poké Ball!" Xiaozhi said to Xiaoxia while running.

Misty reacted, and although she couldn't accept it, she reluctantly took out the Poké Ball and took Psyduck back. At this time, Baby Pikachu and Pikachu also rushed farther away, and Xiaozhi also took out the Poké Ball when he saw this.

"Squirtle, go save them!!" Xiaozhi threw the Poké Ball.

Squirtle jumped out of the Poké Ball, rushed directly into the water, dived to the bottom of the water, and after entering the water, swam towards Pikachu and Baby Pikachu as fast as a submarine.

There are many waves on the water surface and the current under the water is also very fast, but for Squirtle, it is nothing. It is the Squirtle that can conquer even the waves.

After rushing to the bottom of Pikachu and Little Pikachu, it crashed directly into them.

Boom, boom, boom! ! !

The upward force directly created a column of water on the surface of the river, knocking Pikachu and Little Pikachu out of the water. Squirtle also emerged from the water, splashing water all around, and Pikachu and Little Pikachu were pushed into the air.

"Pikachu!!"

Seeing this, Xiaozhi ran forward, opened his arms and hugged the falling Pikachu and Little Pikachu. Squirtle landed safely and struck a Ginyu Force pose.

"Are you okay?" After successfully catching Pikachu and Little Pikachu, Xiaozhi lowered his head and asked.

Pikapi!!!

Pikachu responded first, and the little Pikachu had not yet recovered from the shock. After reacting, he slightly raised his head and looked at the human who was holding him.

She was startled at first, but then she saw Xiaozhi's concerned look, and remembered that they had just saved her, so she slowly let down her guard.

Pickup truck

Little Pikachu also responded, but he was not so wary of humans anymore. Pikachu then laughed happily in Xiaozhi's arms.

Pika~~~Chu!!!

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the jungle next to him, and then an electric current rushed out from the grass and went straight towards Xiaozhi.

"Ah! Xiaozhi, be careful!" Xiaoxia behind him saw this and shouted quickly.

Jenny!!!!

After hearing the sound, Squirtle rushed over quickly, then retracted its entire body into its shell, spinning rapidly, and used high-speed rotation to directly block the incoming lightning.

The electricity was split into two by the rotating 303 force and swept in all directions under the force of rotation, successfully blocking the attack. Xiaozhi also reacted. At this time, figures jumped out from the bushes.

Pickup! Pickup! Pickup! Pickup! Pickup!!

By the time I reacted, I was surrounded by Pikachus, all of them big and small, some with different features on their bodies, and some with slightly different skin colors.

They were not different-colored Pokémon like Axetooth, but simply had different hair colors due to different development. At this moment, they all looked at Xiaozhi and the others with hostility, with unfriendly expressions, as if they were ready to attack at any time.

"Yes...is it Pikachu? So many?" Looking around, there were at least dozens of Pikachus. Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were a little surprised. They had never seen so many Pikachus before.

At this time, a Pikachu walked in from the large group of Pikachus. Its hair was shiny and its eyes were sharp, but the most eye-catching thing was its tail.

At the end of the lightning-shaped tail, there was a V-shaped forked gap, which looked like a scar left after being injured. At this time, it stared at Xiaozhi and others with unfriendly eyes. The Pikachus around seemed to be waiting for its order to attack.

Chapter 381: Netizens’ Huge Imagination (Subscription Request)

Pickup!!!!

The Pikachu lay on the ground, looking at Xiaozhi and the others with a serious expression, and let out a hoarse growl, as if warning Xiaozhi to let go of the little Pikachu.

Pikapi~~~

Little Pikachu sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly jumped out of Xiaozhi's arms, then came to the leading Pikachu and called out in panic.

It looked like he was explaining something, and slowly the Pikachus around him listened to what the little Pikachu said and slowly let down their guard. However, the leading Pikachu still hadn't completely let down his guard against Xiaozhi and the others.

At this time, Xiaozhi's Pikachu also jumped out of Xiaozhi's arms and greeted the other Pikachus. It had never seen so many companions in such a long time.

In Xiaozhi's opinion, this situation is indeed rare. Normally, Pichus are relatively weak, so they gather together. However, after evolving into Pikachu, they basically start to live independently, so it is rare to see such a large number of them.

Gradually, after the Pikachus here learned what had happened, they relaxed their guard against Xiaozhi and others, and soon led Xiaozhi and others through the forest and into the depths of the jungle.

When we arrived at an open space deep in the jungle, we found that there were many Pikachus here, living freely and chasing each other.

Little Pikachu ran in and took out two fruits from the hole under the tree. Then he ran to Pikachu and Squirtle and handed them to them, as if to thank them for saving him.

Pikachu took it happily. As for Squirtle, who was usually a troublemaker, he felt a little uncomfortable seeing Pikachu being so polite. He scratched his head and took the fruit handed over by Pikachu.

Afterwards, Pikachu followed the large group of Pikachus here to play, while Ash and the other two sat on the side and watched. Before they knew it, it was night, and all the Pikachus gathered together to look at the stars, looking very happy.

"Pikachu looks so happy!" Misty stood next to Ash and watched. Seeing the Pokémon's mood improve, her whole mood improved as well.

"Don't you want to capture Pikachu anymore?" Xiaozhi turned to look at her with a smile after hearing that.

"Forget it. Seeing how happy Pikachu and the others are together, I really can't bear to separate them!"

These Pikachus live freely here. If one is caught, it will be separated from its companions here, so Xiaoxia finally resisted the urge to capture one.

"Is that so?" Xiaozhi asked in confusion.

"Huh? Xiaozhi, what do you mean? Do you think it's better to separate them?" Hearing this, Xiaoxia asked in confusion.

"But I think that the bond between me and Pikachu will never lose to anyone else!" Xiaozhi looked at Pikachu when he was with his companions, but he didn't think that his bond with Pikachu would lose to theirs.

In fact, in the anime, Ash also thought about letting Pikachu stay here, but in the end Pikachu chose to leave with Ash.
