Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

As soon as the battle ended, Ash's kind personality took over.

Of course, it only lasted a short while, and Ash quickly put the battle behind him.

Anyway, his Pokémon are very careful with their strength; it's just a battle, so they won't leave any injuries on those Grass-type Pokémon.

"But the environment here is really nice. Let's set up camp and have lunch here, Yao and Sheng?"

"I have no objection."

"What about Haruka?...Haruka?"

After calling out several times without getting a response, Ash quickly turned around, only to find that there was only Max behind him, with no sign of the great scholar girl.

Ash chased them too fiercely on the way, and May accidentally got separated from them.

"Where's Xiaoyao?"

Only then did Xiaosheng notice that his sister was missing, and he hurriedly called out in a panic.

"Ah! My sister must have seen those pretty flowers under the trees on the road and ran over to pick them, and then she couldn't keep up!"

"Honestly, why does she always mess things up at such crucial moments!"

Upon hearing this, Ash quickly spread out his aura senses, concentrating all his attention to capture May's aura.

But they still couldn't find Xiaoyao.

Their team's ability to get lost is truly unmatched; Xiaoyao's current position is already beyond the range of the waveguide sensor.

Ash immediately comforted Winston.

"Don't worry too much. With Xiaoyao's current strength, she won't be in danger as long as she doesn't encounter a group of enemies like we just did."

"Let's go back the way we came and look for it."

"Ok!"

Just as Ash and his friends were about to set off, a group of mysterious people wearing cloaks suddenly rushed out of the distant forest.

The leader of the group immediately spoke up when he saw Ash, who had just finished fighting and was dressed, and Max, who was obviously still a child.

"Who are you, and how did you get to this place?"

"This is the Forbidden Forest; no outsiders are allowed to enter!"

"The ruler of the forest is known as the King of the Forbidden Forest, a Pokémon with terrifying moves."

"An ordinary person would be dead if they encountered this, so get out of here right now!"

Chapter 458 A kind heart doesn't necessarily mean silver patterns

The men in robes kept shooing people away, telling them about the dangers of Grass-type Pokémon in the forest.

But the more this happened, the less Ash wanted to leave; he loved danger the most.

Besides, Xiaoyao hasn't even found him yet, and now she knows about the existence of that so-called king.

"A Pokémon that is enormous and can use extremely rare, high-powered moves...?"

Xiao Zhi definitely needs to go and take a look!

Upon hearing the two men claim to be the guardians of this forbidden forest, Xiao Zhi looked closely and indeed found something resembling a map on their waists.

One of the men in the blue robes rambled on, saying that humans had once entered the forest and wreaked havoc in order to obtain Grass-type Pokémon, which angered the creatures there and caused them to become hostile towards humans.

Ash activated his telekinesis and instantly retrieved the map from the old man's waist.

"The magnetic field here is unusual, so compasses and other instruments don't work. And lately, for some reason, the Grass-type Pokémon have become even more aggressive, attacking anyone they see... Sigh!"

Ash's ability to take the map out of thin air startled the blue-robed man.

How did you do that?

But what surprised him even more was yet to come.

With a single kick, Xiao Zhi snapped a large tree that required one person to hug in half.

The flying tree trunk instantly leveled all the bushes in front of it, clearing the way for Ash's takeoff.

"Uncle, one of our companions got separated in the forest, so we're sorry we can't leave for the time being."

"We'll leave as soon as we find it, and could you lend us a map?"

He hoisted up Victory and Pikachu, took a running start, and leaped away, flying straight off.

"Ah, am I...am I dreaming?"

The man in the blue robe murmured to himself as he watched Ash's figure disappear into the horizon.

The green-robed uncle standing to the side hadn't reacted yet, and turned to the blue-robed uncle in a daze to ask.

"What should we do? Should we chase after them?"

The man in the blue robe immediately slapped the man in the green robe.

"Fool, of course not! With that boy's skills, he'll be perfectly fine in the forest."

"Our mission for today is complete. Let's go back and report to the elders."

Having witnessed Ash's strength, the two uncles, true to their adult philosophy of taking it easy, turned and left without a second thought.

Ash and Max, using their map, diligently searched for May's whereabouts in the sky.

"This forest is so big!"

Max, carried on Ash and Pikachu's shoulders, strained to see the distance, but could not see the end of the forest.

"Even if my sister is an idiot, she should know that when she gets lost, she should stay where she is or make some marks to make it easier for us to find her!"

"Why haven't we seen her anywhere around here? Could something have happened to her?"

"Don't worry too much. Xiaoyao is usually so lucky, she'll be fine."

Ash and Max both have terrible luck, so whenever there's a lottery event, they always let May participate.

Moreover, May always manages to get a gift every time she tries, making Ash incredibly envious.

How could someone who can find money even by tripping and falling while walking so easily have an accident?

Sure enough, Ash's aura senses quickly detected May.

Her current location is actually below a cliff at the edge of the forest; no wonder Xiao Sheng couldn't find her after searching for so long.

"This place is so desolate, why did Xiaoyao come here?"

This bottomless cliff seems to divide two worlds: on one side is a lush green forest, and on the other side is a white field that has just been burned by a fire, which looks quite strange.

Ash didn't think about it any further; saving May was the priority right now.

At this moment, Xiaoyao was gripping a protruding rock on the cliff with one hand and hugging a cute garlic turtle with a heart pattern on its head with the other.

It looks like they've been hanging here for a while now.

Xiaoyao's hands trembled uncontrollably, and the little Bulbasaur was equally terrified.

However, at this moment, its vine was still tightly gripping a pretty little white flower and refusing to let go, while the other vine tried to hook up to the tree branch above them, but even when the vine stretched to its limit, it still couldn't reach it.

"Seeds~"

"Hang in there, Bulbasaur, we'll be safe." Even though May was covered in sweat, she still gently comforted Bulbasaur in her arms.

With her comforting words, the little guy calmed down a bit and tried to give Xiaoyao a smile in return.

"Seeds, seeds."

The main problem is that Bulbasaur can't really laugh at times like this.

Just as Xiaoyao was gritting her teeth and could no longer hold on, a pair of large hands suddenly wrapped around her waist.

"I didn't know you had a hobby of rock climbing, Xiaoyao."

"Ash!" May was overjoyed; she knew Ash would definitely arrive in time to save her.

[Ding! Xiaoyao: Affection +2]

Ash gently picked up May and Bulbasaur together and carried them back to the cliff.

Xiaosheng and Pikachu, who were waiting there, immediately came up and handed May water.

"Seriously, sister, can't you just give me a break?"

"Hehe, sorry."

While Xiaoyao was drinking water, Xiaosheng finally noticed the garlic-shaped turtle in Xiaoyao's arms and immediately exclaimed.

"Wow, that's Bulbasaur! Sister, how did you run into it?!"

I just met Professor Oak not long ago, and Kakashi has a very deep impression of the three starter Pokémon from Kanto.

May, on the other hand, affectionately picked up Bulbasaur.

"It was fate, I guess. I was actually planning to wait where I was after I got lost, but then I heard cries for help and came over to check."

"We discovered that the child had fallen off a cliff while trying to pick a flower that was located on the edge of the cliff."

"So in order to save it, I jumped down too in a moment of panic... and that's how things turned out."

May overestimated her stamina; she couldn't even get the Poké Ball out under those circumstances.

"Oh, what a failed attempt at heroism."

"What does it matter? As long as Bulbasaur is alright in the end, right?"

"Seeds, seeds!"

Because May bravely jumped down to save him, Bulbasaur is now especially fond of her.

When Xiaoyao saw it rubbing its little head with heart-shaped patterns against her arm, her heart almost melted.

"Ah, this Bulbasaur is so cute!"

"A Bulbasaur from the Hoenn region? That's quite rare. Is it a wild Pokémon?"

Just then, Xiao Zhi also came over and took a look at the new garlic turtle that had been clinging to the flowers.

"It should be. This child has never seen anyone like me before, definitely not a trainer."

"Just by looking at its size and color, it's clear that it's been well taken care of and doesn't look like an ordinary wild Pokémon."

Ash smiled and squatted down to pat Bulbasaur's head.

"I really miss it. I used to have a Bulbasaur too, but it evolved into Venusaur later. It was a great partner of mine."

"I haven't felt this touch in so long." Ash's natural friendliness made Bulbasaur feel very comfortable.

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the forest behind them.

Surprisingly, a large group of Grass-type Pokémon surrounded them.

Upon seeing Bulbasaur surrounded by Ash and his friends, they immediately flew into a rage.

The leader of the group immediately exclaimed in disbelief.

"Ash, I have a feeling that Bellossom is saying we are enemies and that Bulbasaur should go back to their side."

"You don't need to feel it, it is."

This Politoed was punched by him not long ago, how could it not consider Ash and his friends as enemies?

However, that was because they attacked first, so Ash wasn't to blame. Since the other side didn't make the first move, Ash didn't choose to attack them either.

"These Pokémon should be Bulbasaur's companions now." May reluctantly pushed Bulbasaur away.

"Go on, your family is here to pick you up."

"seed."

Bulbasaur was happy to see its companions come looking for it, but then hesitated because of what Bellossom said.

It stretched out its vines to separate the Grass-type Pokémon from Ash and his friends, but Bellsprout simply pulled its vines away, telling them not to stay with humans anymore.

Bulbasaur looked at May, who had just risked her life to save it, and then at its companion on the other side, caught in a dilemma.

However, just as tensions were running high, an even larger figure appeared from behind.

The newcomer turned out to be a huge Venusaur.
