Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

Page 75

This is the most crucial factor in whether or not you can reach the top.

This is why many trainers love Gyarados – it's aggressive!

Ash now has three Pokémon, so he's not lacking in battle strength.

When choosing a Pokémon, people tend to prioritize its type and personality.

If you have good innate individual values, then that's definitely better.

Having poor innate individual values is not necessarily a bad thing.

Intelligence, personality, race, and traits will become more important criteria in the future.

……

(I remembered that armored warrior's characteristics that tricked Scizor... Guzma was dumbfounded.)

Chapter 88 Pikachu: My Holy Script is [D]

"Very good! Keep moving and anticipate the trajectory of the attacks!" Ash shouted, his eyes following the movements of the two Pokémon closely.

This is clearly part of their daily training, designed to improve Gyarados's control over its flight posture and its ability to dodge Pidgeotto's attacks.

For Pidgey, this is also a way to train skill control.

Pidgey's specialization is Swift, a move that is very suitable for bird-type Pokémon.

Ash genuinely doesn't think birds are a good choice for close combat.

Xiaoxia, holding the black seahorse, sat on the beach, watching with a smile.

Unlike Ash, Misty is not in a hurry to train Pokémon.

Pikachu stood at her feet, cheering on her aerial companions with "Pika Pika" every now and then.

Xiao Gang had already packed up the picnic supplies.

At this moment, he was taking out some special materials from his all-purpose backpack—such as ground dark stone powder, tomb dust imbued with spiritual power, and some strangely scented, dark blue tree fruits.

He skillfully began the processing.

soon.

A small dish of somewhat peculiar-looking snacks, emitting a faint coolness and a strange smell, is ready.

"Ash," Brock handed the plate of special snacks to Ash as he returned, "Here you go."

"What's this?" Xiao Zhi took the plate and looked curiously at the dark cubes that emitted a faint glow.

—It doesn't seem like something a human could eat.

—I wonder if I'll die if I eat this?

—At most, it should just be diarrhea, right?

"A little treat that suits the tastes of Ghost-type Pokémon," Brock explained, wiping his hands. "I used some of their favorite ingredients."

He pointed in the direction of the forest, "Since they are curious, why not take the initiative to show them friendliness?"

"If you can get closer to one or two of them because of this, it would be a good thing for you."

Xiao Gang paused for a moment: "The Indigo League requires a complete team. If we can gain the approval of a Ghost-type partner here, it would be a great addition. Their abilities can often have a surprising effect."

Xia watched from the side and couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiaogang, you've thought of everything! You're so thoughtful!"

Xiao Gang smiled slightly and accepted the compliment readily: "Thank you."

"After all, as companions, it's only right to help each other."

"Go, Ash."

"I've chosen you!"

Xiao Gang suddenly became mischievous while speaking.

Don't ask why.

The answer is that he learned bad habits from Xiao Zhi.

funny.

"..." Xiao Zhi was speechless. "When you go back, please don't say you learned it from me..."

How I miss the serious and earnest Xiao Gang of the past!

How did Xiaogang end up like this?

After saying that, Ash picked up the small plate and carefully walked towards the edge of the forest.

Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder and curiously sniffed the contents of the dish.

Then I sneezed slightly.

They clearly weren't used to this kind of taste, which was specifically for "ghosts".

that's the truth.

Normal living things cannot eat this.

The closer you get to the forest, the more obvious the feeling of being watched becomes.

The little AI sensed that many eyes were being cast from behind the dense foliage and thick tree trunk, filled with a mixture of wariness and intense curiosity.

...These Ghost-type Pokémon are well protected by Gastly; although they are mischievous, they are very innocent.

Xiao Zhi stopped and did not venture further in. Instead, he gently placed the plate in his hand on a relatively flat tree root in the shade.

While Ghost-type Pokémon are not afraid of the sun, most of them do not like sunlight.

"Hi everyone," Ash tried to make his voice sound friendly and harmless, "Here are some snacks for you. Try them and see if you like them?"

At first, the forest was quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

It seems those little voyeurs are still hesitating and observing.

Xiao Zhi wasn't in a hurry; he just stood there patiently waiting.

after awhile.

A blurry, purple, misty figure appeared.

It's a Gastly.

It was the first to be unable to suppress its curiosity.

Gastly is indeed a very curious Pokémon.

In a sense, this is also one of the most common Ghost-type Pokémon.

It's more like a gas Pokémon than a ghost Pokémon.

Gastly is a gaseous life form that is almost invisible and elusive.

It can penetrate anywhere with its thin, gaseous body, but it will be blown away by the wind.

When it encounters a strong wind, its gaseous body will be blown away and shrink in an instant. Gastly that has survived the wind will gather under the eaves.

Gastly and Haunter in their early stages are both made of gas.

There will be a qualitative change when it reaches the Gengar stage.

From a gas Pokémon to a shadow Pokémon.

The Gastly cautiously emerged from behind a large tree, circled the dish of snacks, then warily glanced at Ash and Pikachu, making a soft "quack" sound.

Finally, it quickly approached, sucked up a small piece of snack, and then darted back behind the tree.

With the first person to try it, things went much more smoothly afterward.

A dream demon emerged from the shadows, clutching the end of its red hair.

It sniffed with its tiny nose, then cautiously took a bite, and immediately let out a delightful, tiny, bell-like laugh.

Then, the Floating Ball, the Night Patrol Spirit... and even the Candle Spirit were all attracted out one after another.

They maintained their distance, moving swiftly and cautiously, but each took its own portion of the snack from the plate.

For a moment, it seemed as if a small, quiet ghostly Pokémon tea party was being held at the edge of the forest.

Although they quickly disappeared back into the shadows of the forest after finishing their meal, the gazes they cast at Ash earlier were noticeably less wary and more friendly and inquisitive.

In short, this is a good start, but it is obviously impossible to achieve everything in one step.

"...They're all interesting little guys." Ash's gaze fell on these Pokémon.

"Speaking of which... Pikachu."

"What kind of Pokémon do you think [Mew] is?" Ash muttered to himself as he watched the Ghost-type Pokémon leave.

"Pikachu?!" Pikachu exclaimed in surprise.

Then I started thinking.

"Pikachu, Pikachu..."

"Pickup!"

Pikachu's arm points at Lidgment.

If you ask why... it's an instinct.

Pikachu's instincts told it that something was wrong with this Lidgment.

So Pikachu chose to trust its instincts.

"You said it was your instinct that told you... you subconsciously felt it was Litwick?" That's what he said, but that wasn't the answer Ash cared about.

Ash thinks it's a [Dream Fairy].

"Partner, do you know the difference between a king and a mount?" Ash suddenly asked, his expression changing.

"Pikachu?" A look of disgust and despair appeared on Pikachu's face.

It knew its trainer was about to start talking again.

"Instinct!" Ash hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly saw Pikachu dart out. "...King..."

"Hey!"

"Don't go, partner!"

"partner!"

"You can't do this!"

You can't do this to me!

"At least let me finish what I have to say!"

As for Ash's words...
