It's a pity that by the time that arrogant Suicune fan heard that a Suicune trainer had appeared in Eastgate City, Ash had already left.

Once again, Suikyō missed out on the Suijun she had been longing for.

"The appearance of mythical beasts in such a big city is indeed very likely to cause riots."

Recalling the atmosphere at the scene, Xiaozhi decided to quickly take Xiaoxia and run away.

Continue on to the next destination.

Ash and his friends had a very smooth journey on their way to Violet City.

Perhaps it's because the infrastructure along this long stretch of road is relatively well-maintained.

While passing through Lineball Town, Ash also helped Officer Jenny solve a phantom thief case there.

As expected, it was Kosaburo and his group again; these two had gradually improved their skills.

Their escape skills might be comparable to those of the Kojiro trio, but they still managed to fall into Ash's hands.

After passing through an extravagantly wealthy area, Ash helped a super-rich woman find her Pokémon, Blue, and even received her gratitude.

This wealthy woman invested a sum of money in Xiaozhi's company's development in Johto, which was an unexpected bonus.

Then, they ran into Xiao Gang in Deer Horn Town and helped the lost Little Fright Deer together. They also captured Yamato and Kosaburo once again.

They have finally reached the outskirts of Kikyo City.

"Great, my first gym battle in the Johto region is finally here!" Ash was very excited.

This stretch of road always feels exceptionally long.

"The city is much bigger than Kanto." Xiaoxia really didn't expect that after traveling for so long, she had only just arrived at the city where the first dojo was located.

The Jodo region is not only vast but also has an abundance of forests, which is really unfriendly to them.

"And I'm starting to feel a bit cold."

"Ash, are we going to be in winter already?" Misty was already questioning her own sense of time.

"How could that be? It's just that we're at a relatively high altitude right now."

"Look, there's snow on the mountaintops across the way. We'll be arriving in Kikyo City soon."

This was a delightful discovery for Xiaozhi: a large green radish was lying on the grass not far away.

"Xia, look! It's a wild chicory leaf!"

This adorable little creature is happily lying there, basking in the sun with its eyes closed.

When you get close, you can smell a faint sweet scent coming from the leaves on top of it.

"It really is wild chrysanthemum leaves. It's really rare to find them in a place like this."

Ash immediately took out a Poké Ball. "Okay, I'm going to catch it."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Consort Ye": Please subdue Chrysanthemum Leaf and raise her favorability to 80 or higher.]

Meanwhile, Yamato and Kosaburo, who were following closely behind Ash and his friends, also received an unexpected surprise.

"Amadou, I feel like we've failed so badly."

At this moment, Kosaburo, who was hiding in the bushes, was dejected.

"We've been tracking this kid, but we haven't succeeded even once so far."

"What are you talking about, Saburo? Didn't we successfully take down so many small evil organizations?"

"But, but we are Team Rocket! We are the biggest evil organization in the Kanto and Johto regions!"

Kosaburo took out several "Good Citizen" certificates awarded by the Alliance.

"What are we now, partners of justice?"

In order to successfully carry out their mission of capturing Ash's Pokémon, the two of them would desperately raise funds to build new robots each time.

But the Rockets' salaries have already been overdrawn for 90 years, so it's impossible for them to get another loan from headquarters.

Lacking any business acumen, the two were forced to resort to robbing small, wicked organizations or criminal gangs in different cities.

Only in this way can they safely and quickly collect large sums of money, and after catching the criminals, they will disguise themselves and go to the Alliance to collect the bounty.

Two ways to cook one fish – that's incredibly efficient!

But each time, the final result was that he was kicked away by Ash like a roadside dog, and Kosaburo began to doubt the meaning of his life.

"He failed at all in his attempts at bad things, but he did plenty of good things..."

"Members of both of our evil organizations have now received invitations to the Alliance Central Committee's 'Three Good Citizens' awards ceremony."

"This is just too tragic!"

"Hey, is your target that boy with Pikachu up ahead?"

"Ah, who is it?"

The sudden sound startled Yamato and Kosaburo, making them realize that someone had been able to approach them silently from behind.

This is definitely not an ordinary person.

They immediately turned around and saw that behind them was a beautiful young woman with long hair.

She was looking at them with a cynical smile, mocking them.

Tell me about your plans, maybe I can help you.

To prevent Chikorita from escaping, Ash approached slowly, taking small steps at a time.

But the other party was very vigilant and immediately noticed the person with ill intentions. He got up from the grass and stared at Xiaozhi with a wary look.

Moreover, it struck first, using Razor Leaf on Ash.

"Since we've been discovered, there's nothing we can do!" Ash also sent out his Fire-type general.

"I choose you, Charizard."

As soon as the Charizard landed, it sent the little radish on the other side flying.

Judging from their size, this was a battle with a huge disparity in strength.

But the chrysanthemum leaf on the other side did not run away; instead, it bravely fought back with great spirit.

"whisper!"

Chicory gritted her teeth and used all her strength to unleash a powerful charge...

It had little effect; its charge was easily blocked by the old man who simply raised a foot, leaving it so bored that it just wanted to yawn.

"There's really nothing interesting about this kind of match."

Xiaoxia felt a little sorry for Chicory Leaf in this situation.

"No, my intuition tells me this chrysanthemum leaf isn't that simple!"

For some reason, Ash really liked this Chikorita, especially its indomitable spirit.

"Get serious, Charizard."

Sure enough, Ash's Chikorita counterattack came right after he shouted.

Two vine-like whips extended from the dark green protrusion on its neck and swiftly struck the fire-breathing dragon's eyes.

"Roar?" Old Spear was also careless and didn't dodge.

She covered her eyes with tears streaming down her face and screamed, then glared angrily at the chrysanthemum leaves.

"A great Pokémon with a lot of ideas, I like it."

"Charizard, get your act together! Use Flamethrower!"

The opposite Chikorita swung the large leaves on its head, unleashing a Leaf Blade attack.

However, the difference in strength was too obvious. Those few small leaves were turned to ashes by Charizard's flames, and even the Chikorita leaves turned into charcoal in an instant.

Despite being hit by a powerful attack, Chikorita was able to stand up and continue to counterattack Charizard.

"They're really tenacious."

Then Chikorita was immediately sent flying by Charizard's tail whip, crashing into the rock wall behind it.

"Now's the time, go, Poké Ball!"

"whisper!"

Surprisingly, Chikorita, which was already severely injured, was still able to fight back. Despite the pain, it flicked the leaf on its head and sent Ash's Poké Ball flying.

"Is it so resistant to being captured?"

"Satoshi, Chikorita will get into trouble if it keeps stubbornly resisting like this."

Ash had no choice but to temporarily give up on catching it.

He quickly grabbed the medicine and ran over, feeding the chrysanthemum leaf to its mouth.

After all, Ash cares more about the safety of Pokémon than catching them.

Unexpectedly, Chikorita not only refused to drink it, but also bit Ash.

It's truly a stubborn and unyielding chrysanthemum leaf.

"Ah, please leave this to me."

Just when Ash and his friends were at a loss for what to do, Nurse Joy suddenly spawned out of the bushes.

"This child always challenges opponents who are stronger than him, and his stubborn refusal to admit defeat always leaves him battered and bruised."

"It's quite famous in this area."

No wonder they're one of the starter families, yet they've been lying openly by the roadside sunbathing and haven't been captured yet.

Upon seeing the familiar Miss Joy arrive, Chikorita's attitude softened slightly, but her expression remained defiant.

Ash and Misty followed Nurse Joy back to the Pokémon Center for a temporary rest, taking advantage of the free Pokémon treatment.

This Pokémon Center is located beside a forest path and is a unique little house made entirely of wood.

It offers help to passing travelers and has a fairytale-like appearance that Xia likes very much.

Soon, Miss Joy came out of the emergency room, and Xiao Zhi quickly went to greet her.

"Miss Joey, how are the chrysanthemum leaves?"

"Don't worry, its injury will heal quickly."

"Being too stubborn isn't good either. Why does it have such strong hostility towards its trainer?"

"Could it have been released by a trainer before?" Ash thought instinctively, since he had encountered this situation far too often.

There are just too many irresponsible trainers.

This world is truly filthy, thought the chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) Satoshi.

"No, that's not it. This child has always been wild and his natural personality isn't that stubborn."

Just as Ash and his friends were still marveling at this moment, suddenly a giant steel hand ripped open the roof in the center.

"Who is it?" Miss Joey was a little dumbfounded.

In all her life, this was the first time she had ever seen a roof being ripped open by a giant iron man.

They rushed outside the center and saw a giant robot perched on the outer wall of the Pokémon Center.

Xiao Zhi immediately recognized the three-story-tall robot as belonging to Yamato and his friends.
