"Where did you find these photos of Ho-Oh?!"
"I met him on the road and took this photo casually."
"I encountered...and took a picture of it casually?!"
Professor Oak's eyes became small, and for the first time he began to doubt his life.
In all these years as a researcher, I have not been able to get a clear picture of Ho-Oh's appearance, let alone a photo.
As a result, Ash had only been out for less than a day when he already...
"Well, whether it was just a casual shot or something else, anyway..."
Professor Oak shook his head and said excitedly: "This is a great discovery!!"
"Ho-Oh's clear photos have great research value~!!"
"Um, Ash, look at this..."
At the end, Professor Oak was already rubbing his hands.
Ash also showed a corresponding smile at the right time:
"As for photos, that's easy, Professor Oak~"
"Pika?!"
The yellow hair on Pikachu's body suddenly trembled, as if it felt a little bit of a sinister feeling.
As Ash and Professor Oak were discussing, they both laughed.
Misty, who had just handed her bicycle to the local Pokémon Center for repair, also saw this scene.
"Is this Professor Oak?!"
Misty had only heard of the famous scholars whom she often saw on TV and in magazines, but had never seen them in person.
And now, the famous scholar Normal, who is a great figure in the field of Pokémon, is arguing, discussing, and chatting with the trainer named Ash who just came out to travel, like little old men. It feels like...
It feels a bit unreal.
"It's settled then, Professor~"
After reaching a satisfactory agreement, Ash hung up the phone as Professor Oak shouted anxiously that his instant noodles were about to be overcooked.
I felt like someone was watching me from behind, and when I turned around, I saw Misty's dazed gaze.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Ah…it's okay!"
Misty came back to her senses and quickly shook her head, "Are you familiar with Professor Oak?"
She couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked directly.
"Well, Professor Oak is doing research in Pallet Town. He and I are very good friends."
"I'm friends with Professor Oak..."
Misty was a little bit unconvinced at the moment. After all, there was a huge gap between the two people in terms of status and age.
But thinking about how the two of them were having a great conversation just now...
"Who on earth is he?!"
Misty looked at Ash who was looking up at the radio and felt that the boy in front of her was even more mysterious.
In the Pokémon lobby, a warning announcement sounded:
"Recently, pickpockets, thieves, and Pokémon kidnappings have occurred frequently. Citizens, please be on guard."
Well, in this city where Team Rocket is based, it's not easy to find only pickpockets and Thief.
"And these Thiefs also refer to Meowth Jessie James and others..."
Although the three members of Team Rocket are pretty good, Ash doesn't want to be entangled by them like a dog-skin plaster that he can't get rid of.
"Let's go, we'll rest for the night and set off tomorrow morning."
The trio that attacked the Pokémon Center here would happen tonight, and Ash didn't want to get involved and be targeted by them.
As for whether the trio will succeed, well, given their abilities in this area, don't overestimate them.
It can be said that apart from doing bad things, other skill points such as making machines, working, making money, etc. are maxed out.
Unfortunately, it was used in the wrong place~
"Set off? Aren't you going to challenge the Tokiwa Gym?!"
Misty was a little confused. "There is a gym here. As a Trainer, aren't you going to challenge the Alliance gym?"
"The rules of the Tokiwa Gym challenge are three-on-three, and the challenger must bring out three Pokémon."
Ash explained casually, "I don't have enough Pokémon right now."
"And the leader of the Viridian Gym is called [Giovanni of the Earth], and he specializes in Ground-type Pokémon."
"I'm not stupid enough to challenge a Ground-type gym with an Electric-type Pikachu."
Even if you can get the corresponding entries for yourself, it is definitely more comfortable to use the restrained Attribute.
Well, although the title of Reverse Attribute Master sounds nice, Ash really doesn't want to have it again this time.
Of course, this does not include entries that have effects.
And he used the reverse attribute on the Rocket Team's boss... it's almost like a heaven-defying~
"So, that Gyarados you should have subdued..."
Misty couldn't help curling her lips again, "Water type just happens to restrain Ground type~"
"Well, thanks for your good wishes. I hope I can capture a more powerful water Pokémon next time."
"That's right, water Pokémon are the strongest!!"
The two chatted there, had dinner together, and then returned to their respective rooms to rest.
Nothing happened that night, and dawn came in the blink of an eye.
Well, although there seemed to be some small explosions outside at night, it was not a big deal.
Ash and the other Trainers at the center slept comfortably.
"It's a new day again~"
Facing the morning dew and the sunshine on your body, it is also exceptionally warm!
Ash stood at the entrance of the Pokémon Center and did a simple morning exercise with Pikachu.
"Today's weather is also suitable for traveling, Pikachu~"
"Pikachu!!"
The man and the mouse had just finished stretching when Misty came out carrying a simple backpack:
"Where do we go next?"
Without even realizing it, she had automatically changed the address from "you guys" to "we".
"I heard from Nurse Joy that it seems like Pokémon Thief came to the center last night. This city seems very unsafe. There are even people running to Pokémon to cause trouble!"
