Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

"We will not fear the formidable enemies ahead, nor will we be misled by temporary weakness! We will transform this unwillingness and desire into the flames that forge ourselves!"

"Our bond is the strongest proof!"

"Our will can pierce through the stars!"

Ash stretched out his finger and pointed to the boundless night sky outside the window, like a drill about to break through the sky—Gengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

"Pikachu!!!"

Pikachu suddenly turned around and jumped into Ash's arms. A powerful current burst out uncontrollably, and golden lightning instantly enveloped the two of them.

Don't get me wrong, Pikachu wasn't moved by Ash.

He had heard similar nonsense more than once, twice, or three times.

Pikachu's ears are practically calloused from hearing it so much.

Pikachu: You jerk, don't ruin the mood at a time like this!

Pikachu: I just want some peace and quiet, not to hear your motivational speeches!

This is the true meaning of Pikachu.

They are now close friends and there's not much for them to worry about.

Even bad friends are still friends.

laugh.

Ash did not react at all amidst the flashing lightning.

On one hand, they've gotten used to being shocked, and on the other hand, the lightning resistance of the Vermilion City Gym Badge is still very useful.

After all, Pikachu wasn't going all out; the scene looked big, but the voltage wasn't actually that high.

More importantly... there's a kind of closeness between hearts... it seems like they can communicate with each other?

This is a mental synchronization... Just thinking about my identity... Is this a transformation of bonds?

Ash has a feeling that he can boost Pikachu's power.

This couldn't possibly be due to a rotating magnetic field!

Considering that there are indeed superpowered individuals in this world, and that high-level trainers also have special abilities... such as Elite Four member Akiko's death makeup technique.

Ash finds himself becoming increasingly strange, even as a trainer.

...He suddenly remembered that the trainers in the special episodes did indeed have special talents, such as those who were good at fighting, raising, or healing.

And behind both of them.

On the pillow.

Awakened by the lightning and the sound of metal ringing, the dream demon groggily opened its eyes a crack and saw the human and its pet embracing each other in the lightning.

Ash's voice was quite loud at the end, and Misdreavus could vaguely hear it.

Feeling the overwhelming sense of conviction... the dream demon snuggled against the soft pillow and closed her eyes again.

……

……

(Kikuko's death makeup technique, Kona's ice doll... and Liu Bo's ice dummy... emm... think about how to create characteristics for the other powerful characters)

I used to really like this book... Time flies.

Pokémon: Yoruichi

Chapter 117 The Vicious Trainer Cross

a few days later.

Ash wakes up in his room at the Rainbow Gym.

Sunlight streamed through the window lattice, casting warm dappled patterns on the tatami floor.

"It's another beautiful day." Xiao Zhi reached out and grabbed a handful of sunlight, which shone through his fingers onto his face.

Pikachu lay quietly beside him, in almost the same position as Ash.

It's quite pleasant to sunbathe together.

Outside the window, Pidgey is flying freely—"Pidgey!"

Normally, the Rainbow Gym is quite safe, so Ash's Pokémon were all released.

Gyarados is also in a pond in the gym—Ash has emphasized to Gyarados many times that it is absolutely forbidden to prey on the Pokémon in the gym.

With Ash's emphasis, Gyarados naturally remembered, but this mischievous guy likes to scare the Grass-type Pokémon in the gym... which is a bit unsettling.

"Mah-mah~" The dream demon darted out from the side.

[Miss Rika is hosting a challenger today~~]

Let's go watch the game together!

The dream demon appeared somewhat excited.

Theoretically speaking, Ghost-type Pokémon should be nocturnal.

However, the Dream Demon has already completely adjusted its biological clock.

"Okay, okay~" Ash stood up and started getting dressed. "Let's go together~"

"Pikachu?" Seeing Ash and Misdreavus getting ready to leave, Pikachu, who was lying in the sun, jumped onto Ash.

With a creak, the door opened.

After leaving the room, I headed towards the dojo's battle arena.

Walk through the passage.

We haven't gotten close yet.

The familiar scent of damp earth and fresh plants, unique to the grassy field, wafted towards me.

Perhaps this is the taste of nature.

Two familiar figures were already in place in the stands at the edge of the field.

"Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, you're here too?" Xiaozhi greeted them with a smile and quickly walked over.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu happily jumped off Ash's shoulder and darted to Brock's side.

"Mama!" Misdreavus looked around curiously, and finally chose to float next to Ash. Her gaze was quickly drawn to what Brock was holding.

Xiao Gang was sitting on a bench.

He was holding a six-tailed dog in his arms, its fur as reddish-brown as autumn maple leaves.

The little guy nestled in Xiao Gang's arms, his six fluffy tails occasionally swaying gently.

Her brown, amber eyes held a hint of shyness and wariness from someone new to the place, making her appear both elegant and adorable.

Xiaoxia was half-squatting to the side, holding a Pokémon food in her hand, trying to tease it.

Although Misty prefers Water-type Pokémon, that doesn't mean she dislikes other types of Pokémon.

The fluffy little fox is cute too, okay?

"Yes, I heard there was a challenger, so I came to see Miss Lijia's fight." Xiao Gang raised his head, a gentle smile on his face.

He gently stroked the soft fur on the back of the six-tailed fish.

"As for this child, it was given to me by Ms. Xiaoxue, a senior breeder, when I visited her a few days ago."

"She said this Vulpix is ​​different from her other companions, and seems to prefer the hardness and stability of rocks, and feels a connection with me."

Don't think Xiaogang is just bragging.

By the standards of this world as a whole, Xiao Gang is an exceptionally talented individual.

Xiao Gang is not only very capable, but also has a great personality... He really has the qualities of a breeder.

"It's so beautiful!" Xiaoxia exclaimed, carefully handing over the food.

Liuwei sniffed it before taking small, reserved bites.

"She looks very well-behaved, much quieter than that always noisy little guy," Xiaoxia said, glancing meaningfully at the Dream Fairy floating in the air, making a face at the Six-Tails.

Although Misdreavus is cute, it's not quiet at all; it's too mischievous.

"Mwah mwah mwah!" the dream demon cried out in dissatisfaction, sticking out its tiny tongue.

What happened that day put a lot of pressure on Mengyao.

But the little guy is a bit carefree.

It will recover in a couple of days.

"Hehe~" Ash chuckled, his gaze falling on Vulpix: "Congratulations, Brock."

"This is a great partner."

Ash knew how rare it was for Brock, as the heir to the Rock-type Gym, to have a non-Rock-type Pokémon that matched his personality.

Trainers don't choose Pokémon randomly when selecting companions.

Of course, if it's simply about capturing and studying, that's a different story.

Those who aspire to become Pokémon trainers will inevitably consider their compatibility with their Pokémon.

"Thank you." Xiao Gang nodded, his eyes full of affection for his new companion. "It will need some time to adjust, but I believe we will get along very well."

The three exchanged a few pleasantries.

Then they turned their attention to the battlefield below.

Rika had already taken up the position of the museum owner, still wearing that dignified kimono, her temperament gentle and graceful.

Opposite her stood a haughty young trainer named Cross.

“So, Challenger Cross, the rules are 3 vs 3, and only the challenger can freely switch Pokémon, understand?” Rika’s voice clearly echoed throughout the arena.

I've been in a bad mood these past couple of days, so like Mascherano, I've been getting more violent and leaving home more often.

However, Rika wasn't as violent as M. Surge, so it wasn't considered a violation.

"Of course, let's begin!" Cross replied confidently, throwing the first Poké Ball. "Go, Charmander!"

White light flashed.

A small fire dragon with a blazing flame burning on its tail appeared on the field.

It looks healthy, and the flames on its tail show that it is full of vitality.

However, when it faced the giant, grinning Victoire sent by Rika, its body trembled almost imperceptibly, and a hint of fear appeared in its eyes.

Big Eater: You think I'm scared just because you're a fire-type?

Carnivorous Flower: You can't fly, you thing!

Giant Carnivorous Flower: Hehehehe!

Victoire felt very wronged when it lost to Pidgeot and the like a while ago.

The bird was flying tens or even hundreds of meters above the ground, and it was moving at an extremely fast speed...

There is no suitable way to deal with this under normal circumstances.

However, it's impossible to unleash your true power in a regular dojo match.

This isn't a matter of a gap in hard power; it's a matter of compatibility.

It's like when an ordinary person encounters a few sparrows constantly flying over their head and pooping; there's really no good way to deal with it.

Anyway, I definitely can't fight with my bare hands.

But if you sparrows dare to fly down... hehehe.

"Charmander, use Ember!" Cross commanded.

The little dragon took a deep breath and exhaled tiny sparks of flame from its mouth.

The move itself was fine, but the speed and power seemed hesitant and sluggish, as if it dared not truly provoke its opponent.
