Chapter 2: The Battle for the Poké Balls

It's another sunny day, and Ash plans to go out for a walk and change his mood. Given that he had just been beaten by Shigeru a few days ago and had completed his 130th 'good result'.

Ash came out of his room and happened to see his mother, Hanako. Hanako saw that Ash was dressed, obviously looking ready to go out. Then he opened his mouth and asked, "Allah, Ash, are you going to go to Dr. Oki to find Xiaomao?"

"No, I'm going to go out for a walk. Ash didn't know why his mother asked this, but he still answered his mother's question honestly.

Hanako nodded slightly after hearing Ash's answer. She is still very relieved about her education, except for being a little overheated when talking about Pokémon, Ash is usually an obedient and good child. So Hanako naturally said, "Oh, remember to come back before eating." After speaking, he continued to tidy up his housework, and then looked up and asked, "Ash, have you figured out where you want to play?"

"Huh?" Ash, who wanted to say casually, suddenly saw the performance of the water elf playing on TV. After thinking about it for a while, the recent season seems to be very suitable for fishing water Pokémon. So he replied, "I'm going to go fishing." ”

"Oh, be careful, don't play too late. After Hanako heard Ash's answer, she told with concern. Ash responded, then quickly rushed back to the room, grabbed the fishing tools and went out.

Ash wore a straw hat and a fishing rod on his back and carried a box as he happily walked towards the river where he had noticed a lot of water-based Pokémon gathering a long time ago.

After walking for about ten minutes, I stopped outside the town slightly closer to the farmland. Stand on the banks of the river and watch the river wander. The clean surface of the river reflects the blue of the sky, and a different feeling of relaxation reverberates in my heart.

Ash looked at the river, but didn't care about the seemingly pleasant scenery. Instead, focus on the roughly visible shadows in the water. The shadow represents the water system Pokémon of the river.

After a cursory look, Ash thought that he might have a good harvest, and when the time came, he could tell Sù that he had captured a little elf. Thinking of this, Ash couldn't help but quickly prepare, change the bait, and throw the rod. Watch as the bait hits the surface of the water and makes waves.

Ash looked intently at the surface of the water, keeping his hand on the fishing rod. He had a hunch that he would have a good harvest today. When he saw the fishing line shaking, Ash immediately showed a smile "Wow, there is, there is a ......" and quickly lifted the rod to pull the aquatic elf that bit the bait in the river out of the water.

King Carp1, with a fiery red body and golden fins in the shape of a crown on top and bottom, is pulled out of the water. The big eyes looked a little dumbfounded, as if they didn't understand what was going on.

After Ash saw what the elf he caught was, he immediately shouted, "Haha, it's the carp king......" As soon as Ash finished speaking, he found that the eyes of the carp king, who was stunned, instantly became sharp.

Ash was stunned for a moment when he saw the carp king's eyes sharpen. When he reacted, he saw a white, slightly transparent fishtail hitting his face fiercely.

Ash, who had been slapped seventy or eighty times in a row, felt that his head was a little dizzy, and when the carp king felt that he had almost hit him, he turned over and jumped back into the water, making a huge splash.

Ash stood stiffly for a few seconds, fell unwillingly, and fell on all fours, making a 'bang' sound. With a fishing rod, Xiao Mao, who planned to come to the river to fish for water Pokémon as a research object, just arrived and saw that Xiao Zhi on the other side of the river was being 'played' by the carp king he caught himself.

Looking at Ash lying on the grass, I don't know if I'm awake or faint. Xiao Mao pursed his lips slightly, dyed a little smile. Then, naturally, I threw out the rod and started fishing.

When Xiao Mao did this, Xiao Zhi sat up, and when he saw his old enemy standing on the other side of the river, he subconsciously muttered, "Xiao Mao." ”

When Xiaomao heard Ash call his name, he naturally greeted Ash and said, "Yo, you've woken up." ”

I thought it was because I was pumped by the tail of the carp king, and I was dizzy and saw Xiao Mao's Xiao Zhi immediately sobered up after hearing Xiao Mao's words. And after seeing Xiao Mao doing the same thing as before, Xiao Zhi hurriedly waved his arms and shouted in a hurry, "What are you doing?"

"Fishing. Mao's tone was very natural.

"I'll know this when I see it!" Ash said angrily. He's not blind, how can he not see what Xiao Mao is doing!

"Isn't that enough, or do you want me to answer you in a more philosophical way?" Shigeru looked at Ash with a smile, his tone slightly playful.

"Philosophy, what do you mean, new Pokémon?" After hearing the words that he didn't quite understand, Ash calmed down and said something that made Shigeru a little helpless.

Xiao Mao knew that Ash's head couldn't fit anything except Pokémon, so he could only tilt his head slightly, put on a helpless look and said, "Don't be verbose, you be quiet." In this way, Pokémon will not come close. After speaking, remembering the scene just now, Xiao Mao couldn't help but want to suppress Xiao Zhi. He continued in a slightly higher tone, "I said Ash......"

When he heard that Shigeru was here to fish for water elves, Ash waved his arms again and angrily interrupted Shigeru's words, and shouted, "Wait a minute, what I want to say is that you have to fish somewhere else." ”

Xiao Mao didn't feel angry because Xiao Zhi rashly interrupted his words, but calmly answered, "Why?"

"This is my turf. It was a secret treasure for a long time. Ash replied with all right. He found out about this place a long time ago, just because he was still young at the time, and there was no way to come fishing! In Ash's cognition, this is his secret base! After shouting, he felt that what he said was reasonable, and he couldn't let Xiao Mao take advantage of it in vain, and Ash immediately threw the rod and participated in the activity of fishing for water elves.

Xiao Mao quietly watched Ash finish this, and then said slowly, "I have also been fishing here for a long time. ”

Xiao Shi couldn't help but pause when he heard this, uh, so to speak, didn't he just find this place?Xiao Mao ignored Xiao Ash's sudden stiffness, but continued, "Because there are many kinds of water-type Pokémon that can be caught here, I have long decided that I want to play water-type Pokémon before I get Poké Balls." That's why I'm here. "I'd love to say that I'm here to investigate water-based Pokémon. But thinking about Ash's brain structure, he may not be able to understand such a profound topic. Xiao Mao can only compromise and choose words that can be understood by Xiao Zhi.

When Ash heard Shigeru say that this was good, he immediately forgot about the previous unpleasantness, and praised in a happy tone, "That said, this is the best place to play water-based Pokémon." ”

After listening to Ash's words, Xiao Mao raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly playful tone, "But I seem to have seen it just now, you were played by the carp king?" Although he used a question, the smile in Xiao Mao's eyes was telling Xiao Zhi that he was talking about a declarative sentence.

When Ash heard Xiao Mao's words, he couldn't help but recall what had just happened, and couldn't help but pull down the brim of his hat with some embarrassment, and whispered in a depressed tone, "Oops, you saw it." ”

"Did you know? King Carp is the weakest of the Pokémon. Xiao Mao said with a slight smile when he saw Xiao Zhi's appearance. He believed that Ash, who was bent on Pokémon, should know this most common sense thing.

Sure enough, Ash pressed his hat even lower and said sullenly, "I know." ”

Shigeru asked in a surprised tone, "Really?" and then, as if wanting Ash to prove the credibility of his own words, Shigeru continued, "So, tell me about the tricks that the Carp King can learn." ”

After hearing that the question was so simple, Ash immediately recovered and said in a relaxed tone, "This is too simple! There is a ......" Ash touched his chin, but found that he couldn't think of any of them. After a few seconds, Ash only whispered "This..."

Xiao Mao said helplessly, "Look, you don't know. But when I heard it in Ash's ears, it seemed to be provocative. So Ash shouted at Xiao Mao with great vigor, "I'm thinking about it!"

"Bounce, crash, dying. What was just used on you was a death throe. Xiao Mao easily recited the move of the carp king, and also said the move that the carp king used on Ash just now.

Xiao Mao reached out and took out a picture book written by his grandfather, Yukinari Ohki, and said in a puzzled tone, "Aren't you an enthusiastic supporter of my grandfather, Dr. Ohki?" and then changed his tone, "Could it be that you haven't even read the book written by my grandfather?" ”

Xiao Zhi looked at the book Xiao Mao was holding in his hand, and said a little sullenly, "I have read it." "He just can't remember......

"Even the Carp King can play with you, your future is really worrying. Xiao Mao teased with an aria.

"What do you mean by that!" Ash shouted with some displeasure after hearing Shigeru's words.

"It won't be long before we get the Pokémon Trainer qualification. It's too difficult for a trainer like you who has been played by Pokémon to be quite a Pokémon Master. In order to emphasize what he said, Xiao Mao also waved his hand to Xiao Zhi.

"It's weird, how do you know if you haven't tried it?!" Ash shouted with unusual vigour. When Xiao Mao heard this, he sighed helplessly, "Allah, you are like this again." ”

"What do you mean?" asked Ash, confused.

"You always say you don't know if you haven't tried. But I lost every time. From the past to the present, have you won any of my again?" Xiao Mao's tone was full of banter, and he was angry when he heard Xiao Zhi.

Just when Ash was angry and couldn't return the mouth, he caught a glimpse of his fishing line and seemed to be being pulled. And Xiao Mao's side also agreed. After seeing that the fishing line was moving, Xiao Mao said with some joy, "It's here." ”

After hearing Xiao Mao's words, Xiao Zhi was not to be left behind and said, "Mine is here too." ”

The two of them retracted the line at the same time, and it turned out that Cheng Dù, who was dragged up, was getting more and more strange. The two of them reflected at the same time, could it be that they had caught the same thing? The two of them pulled the rod at the same time, and the things that were fished out by the two of them also broke out of the water. The two lines are entwined, and a poké ball the size of a glass bead gets stuck in their fishing line.

When the two of them saw what they pulled up, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Pokéball?!"

A little nostalgia appeared in Xiao Mao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. While pulling the fishing rod hard, he said to Xiao Zhi: "This qiē is all the arrangement of fate." God sent the Pokéballs to me in advance when I was about to leave for a trip. ”

"I'm so lucky," Ash continued. "I didn't expect to be able to pick up Pokéball balls in such a place. At the same time, he was pulling hard. The Pokéball is pulled back and forth by the two. Neither of them could pull anyone, and neither of them would back down. He yelled at the other party, "Let go, that's the Pokéball I caught first." "After no effect. The two of them ran towards the small bridge in front of the river at the same time.

The two who did not give in to each other tugged on the bridge for a while, and at the same time said words that they would never admit defeat. After a strong pull, the Pokéball was overwhelmed by the exclamations of the two and was torn in half and fell at the feet of the two.

The two of them bent down to pick it up, and the top half of the Poké Ball fell in front of Shigeru. And what falls in front of Ash is the bottom half of the Poké Ball.

Ash looked at the Poké Ball that was broken in half, and said with some pity, "The Poké Ball that I finally found......

Xiao Mao looked at the Poké Ball in his hand and took a cursory look at it. "It looks old, and the joints are loose. After checking it, Xiao Mao held half of the Poké Ball in his palm and said as if sighing, "That's why it's divided into two halves." ”

"Now, this result should be considered a tie, right?" Ash still looked at the half of the Poké Ball in his hand and asked Shigeru.

"Tie...... I reluctantly agreed. However, even if Ash adds this round, you still lose me a hundred and thirty times, are you planning to continue to refresh the record of defeat after we receive our own Poké Ball?" Xiao Mao put the fishing rod on his shoulder and looked at Ash with raised eyebrows.

"You wait! I'll beat you, Shigeru!" Ash shouted angrily. I was going to change my mood, but I ran into Xiao Mao again, and I was seen so embarrassed. Really, he was.

"Okay, I'll wait. Someone who doesn't even remember the tricks that even the weakest elf of the carp king can learn comes to defeat me. Xiao Mao turned around and waved away.

Xiao Zhi grinded his teeth angrily behind him, and then packed his things and went home.

When I got home, I found something green that looked like a bag. Pour out all the contents. Placed the half of the Poké Ball inside. Tying up the bag, Ash held the bag and swore in his heart, 'He will definitely become a pet, JT Elf Master, he will!!, and then defeat Shigeru!-Ash once again strengthened his determination to be a pet, J' Elf Master, and after that, he put all his heart and soul into it, becoming the motivation to challenge the various leagues.
