Chapter 11: The Lost Little Fire Dragon
With the addition of the Wonderful Frog Seed, Ash and the others triumphantly headed towards Dead Leaf City, "Why are there flaming sparrows everywhere here," Ash said as he took down the binoculars.
"Is now the time to say such things", Kasumi said complainingly, "I was thinking, even if you get lost, it's nice to meet rare Pokémon", Ash explained to Kasumi.
"Hey, it's been the tenth day since we went to Dead Leaf City, and I can't walk anymore", Xiaoxia exclaimed angrily.
"There are worms on the soles of your feet," Xiao Gang said, pointing to Xiaoxia's feet.
"Ahh Worm, where is it? I hate insects the most", Xiaoxia was so frightened that she jumped directly on Ash's head.
"It turned out to be grass, hahaha", Xiao Gang smiled embarrassedly after seeing that it was a dogtail grass.
"Nasty! Where is this, tell me, 'Who am I?' Xiaoxia shouted with a headache after kicking Xiao Gang's face.
"Your name is Xia, and this is in the grass somewhere, and the closest public road from here is No. 24," Ash said to Xia, taking the map that floated down.
"In that case, if you cross this mountain, you can see the road to Withered Leaf City, right", Xiaoxia said happily, "That's right"
"Let's go, let's move forward", Xiao Xia took her backpack and moved forward, followed by Ash and Xiao Gang, who had just recovered.
"Ash, Gang, be careful", Kasumi walked to a big rock and didn't see the Pokémon on the stone and said to Ash and Gang.
"What, it turned out to be a little fire dragon, it's pretty cute", Ash saw the Pokémon on the stone clearly and said to Xiaoxia, Ash also knew the next plot for a long time.
Xiaoxia fell down in embarrassment, "The little fire dragon is a Pokémon that I didn't get in Dr. Ohki, and like the Wonderful Frog Seed, I really want to get it", Ash said with emotion.
"But he doesn't seem to have any energy at all," Xiaoxia continued.
"It seems to be very haggard, it's better to take it in and treat it quickly", Xiao Gang also found that Xiao Huolong's condition was not very good, so he suggested.
"I think it's better to understand the situation first, Pikachu, you go and try to communicate with the little fire dragon", Ash also thinks it's better to communicate with the little fire dragon first, anyway, he knows the meaning.
"Pickup~, Pickup~, Pickup~Qiu~", "Woo~Woo~, Woo~", and Pikachu heard Ash's words and communicated with the little fire dragon.
"Pikachu, what did the little fire dragon say", Ash asked.
"Skin~Skin~Pickup~Pickup~Skin", Pikachu said as he gestured back to Ash.
"I see, Pikachu said that the little fire dragon is here waiting for his master to come back", Ash explained to Xiaoxia and Xiaogang.
"It turns out that this little fire dragon is already someone else's Pokémon," Kasumi said after listening to Ash's words.
"I guess it's waiting for someone to come over, and as for its treatment, we'll leave it to its owner," Xiao Gang then continued.
"But I think about it, has this little fire dragon been waiting here for a long time, this little fire dragon seems to be running out of strength, it is better to treat it in time", Xiao Zhi then said.
"Speaking of which, Ash, you take him to the nearest Pokémon Center to have a look," Gang suggested.
"Well, Little Fire Dragon, let's take you to the Pokémon Center for treatment, maybe your master is there too", Little Fire Dragon heard the second half of Ash's words and immediately stood up and followed Ash to take him to meet his trainer.
"Alright, let's head to the Pokémon Center", Ash picked up the little fire dragon and headed towards the Pokémon Center.
At this moment, it suddenly rained heavily, "Let's go", Xiao Gang said and ran towards the Pokémon Center with Ash and Xiaoxia.
Sitting at the Pokémon Center eating, watching the rain outside getting heavier and heavier, Xiao Gang said, "I don't know where the owner of the little fire dragon is, I can't say that it has been abandoned."
"If you are abandoned, you shouldn't be waiting so loyally", Ash knew that the little fire dragon had been abandoned, and he hated the trainer who abandoned it very much.
"That's right, I think its owner should be nearby", Xiao Gang saw Xiao Zhi looking at the little fire dragon without saying a word, because there was no vacancy in the treatment room for the time being, and said worriedly.
"Hum ......", "Hehe......", at this time, such a voice came from the side.
"Well, it's that simple," said a boy who looked clearly the leader.
"Awesome", "It's worthy of Brother Dayou", "But Brother You, you don't have a little fire dragon, do you?" The younger brothers were sycophants, but the last one asked.
"Of course there is, but my little fire dragon is too weak to even beat the mosquito tadpoles, it's bad enough," replied the man called Dayou.
"How happened to the little fire dragon?" , the younger brother continued to ask.
"Oh, I threw it into the mountains, hey, he's stupid enough, I lost it several times, he still came back, and finally I told it, you wait for me here, I'll come back, he didn't follow, and he stupidly wagged his tail at me and sent me away, ahhaha......", Dayou said ruthlessly.
After hearing the conversation of the original owner, the little fire dragon on the side angrily bit out the blood on Ash's arm, Ash let go of his hand in pain, and the little fire dragon ran out of the gate of the Pokémon Center.
"Ash! Are you okay?", Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia were frightened when they saw this scene, "I'm fine, I think the little fire dragon who is really in trouble, he was hurt by the original owner", Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth and said in pain.
"Ash, don't move, I'll bandage you", Xiaoxia took out bandages and medicine from her backpack and bandaged Ash's wounds.
"You're too much, as someone who is also a Pokémon trainer, I'm ashamed of you", "Pickup~, Pickup~", Xiaogang and Pikachu saw everything in front of them and walked to Dayou's side to accuse Dayou.
"Xiao Gang, Pikachu, don't reason with this kind of person, it's useless, let's go chase the little fire dragon", Xiao Zhi saw Xiao Gang and Pikachu accusing Dayou, and felt that it must be useless, so he said to Xiao Gang and Pikachu.
"But Ash, you're injured," Ash said worriedly as he looked at the bandage on Ash's arm.
"It's okay, a little injury, it's not in the way, let's chase the little fire dragon faster than this", "Ash! Pickup ~ Skin ~ " Ash immediately ran out of the Pokémon Center to chase the little fire dragon after speaking, and the others followed Ash.
"Ash, you wait for us", Xiaoxia and Xiaogang also knew the importance of the matter, so they immediately followed.
When they arrived at that place, Ash and the others saw that the little fire dragon was holding a leaf, and was attacked by a group of flaming sparrows, "Pikachu, use 100,000 volts", Ash immediately let Pikachu use 100,000 volts, and the flaming sparrow was beaten away like this.
"Oh no, the flame from the tail is about to disappear", at this time, Xiaoxia shouted when she saw the appearance of the little fire dragon.
"You have to send it to the Pokémon Center quickly," Xiao Gang said immediately.
Ash didn't say anything, and immediately took off his raincoat to block the rain from the little fire dragon's tail, Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang also immediately ran over to help, and everyone escorted the little fire dragon to the Pokémon center, "Little fire dragon, you have to come on, cheer up a little", Ash said to the little fire dragon while running.
"Miss Joy, please you", after running to the center, Ash immediately said to Joey, "This little fire dragon is dying".
"Ah, it's going to have to be healed quickly," Joey said after looking at the little fire dragon's condition.
Ash waited silently outside the emergency room, "Ash, don't worry, Miss Joy will definitely save it", seeing Ash like this, Xiaoxia comforted.
"Well, the little fire dragon will definitely be fine", but Ash thought to himself, "I'm sorry, little fire dragon, I should have directly subdued you, even if it was a forced subduation, and I shouldn't be afraid that you wouldn't agree, I'm really sorry", Ash kept blaming himself.
"Ash, can you let me untie your bandage and see", Ash asked when he saw the bandage on Ash's arm start to flow thickly.
"Oh, yes", Ash saw that something was wrong with the bandage on his hand, and agreed to untie his bandage.
Xiao Gang uncovered Xiao Zhi's bandage and said, "Xiao Zhi, you just let the wound rain so much outside just now, the wound has begun to become inflamed, and you can only reapply the medicine", Xiao Gang said with a sigh.
"I mean, how do you feel that your arm is spicy and painful", Ash said embarrassedly, because he had been worried about the little fire dragon before, and completely forgot about his wounds.
"Du'er", the ER is gone, "Miss Joy", Ash asked eagerly, "It's all right, it'll be fine tomorrow morning", Joey replied.
"Great," Ash said happily.
"Can I go in and have a look?" , Ash asked cautiously.
"Of course," said Miss Joy, smiling.
"Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, you go to sleep first, I'm going to see the little fire dragon", Xiao Zhi knew that Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang were also tired from following him to save the little fire dragon, so he said.
"Well, then I'll see you tomorrow morning", after saying that, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang went back to their room to rest.
In the middle of the night, Ash has been sitting next to the little fire dragon, comforting the little fire dragon, "Little fire dragon, don't be afraid, don't be discouraged because your master thinks you are weak and abandon you, if you can, I am willing to be your trainer, we will become stronger together, together...", in the end, Ash couldn't hold back his sleepiness and fell asleep.
The next morning, Ash woke up early, looked at the clothes on his body, didn't know what he thought of and suddenly smiled, and then quietly looked at the little fire dragon who was still asleep. After a while, the little fire dragon opened his eyes and saw that the boy who saved him yesterday was looking at him.
"Little Fire Dragon, it's great that you're awake, your master thinks you're weak and has abandoned you, but I like you very much, do you want to follow me? Let's work together to become stronger", Ash was afraid that the little fire dragon would run back to wait for the master like in the plot, so he said to the little fire dragon worriedly.
Originally, the little fire dragon's heart was struggling whether to go back and continue to wait, or follow the boy in front of him, but looking at the young man full of expectations in front of him, recalling the words of encouragement he gave himself yesterday, the little fire dragon's heart slowly calmed down, "Woo~woo~", the little fire dragon finally nodded, Ash took out the Pokéball and touched the little fire dragon's head, and the little fire dragon was subdued by Ash, and Ash teleported the supersonic bat back and left the little fire dragon, because this is Ash's seventh Pokémon.
"Great, I've taken in the little fire dragon, oops, it hurts, it hurts", Ash unconsciously celebrated with his wounded hand and started hurting again.
"Ash, what's wrong early in the morning", Ash's cheers woke up Gang and Xia.
"I've been recognized by the little fire dragon, and now he's our partner," Ash said excitedly.
"Congratulations, Ash", after listening to Ash's words, Xiaoxia and Gang congratulated Ash.
After subduing the fire dragon, Ash retrieved the other Pokémon that had been given to Joey, and Ash and his party headed towards Road 2.
"Ah, is it an earthquake?" Walking on the road, she suddenly felt a little shaken, and Xiaoxia asked puzzled.
"Run", Ash remembered that it was Team Rocket's hole trap, so he pulled up Xiaoxia and Xiaogang and ran out.
"What is this", just ran away for a while, and saw that the place where they were standing just now collapsed, revealing a big pit, "There will be a trap here", Xiaoxia said with palpitations as she looked at the trap.
“………… (Team Rocket's classic line)", needless to say, I also know that Team Rocket is on the scene.
"Team Rocket," Xiao Gang said after seeing Team Rocket.
"Hurry up and hand over Pikachu", Musashi still wants to capture Pikachu.
"Impossible, little fire dragon, it's up to you to decide", Ash finished speaking and sent out the little fire dragon that had just been subdued.
"This little ghost has caught a new Pokémon," Kojiro said as he looked at the little fire dragon.
"Don't worry about it, catch it all and meow", and Meow Meow is insatiable to say.
"That's right, go, Abba Snake", Musashi immediately sent Abba Snake.
"Gas bombs, you can go too", Kojiro also sent gas bombs.
"Ah Bai Snake uses binding", Musashi asked Ah Bai Snake to use the binding trick, and Ah Bai Snake rushed towards the little fire dragon after hearing this.
"Gas bombs, use impacts", Kojiro also made gas bombs use impact tricks.
"Little Fire Dragon, use Jet Flame", Ash let Little Fire Dragon use Jet Flame, and the flame accurately hit the rushing Ah Bai Snake and gas bombs, and was sent back to Musashi and Kojiro.
"Ah, how can this be", Musashi saw that the Ama snake was defeated with one move, and was very disbelieving.
"Pikachu, send them away with 100,000 volts", Ash saw the gas bomb and the Aba snake, so he let Pikachu use 100,000 volts.
"Pika~Qiu~", Pikachu used who bullied her, and a yellow electric current hit Team Rocket, producing an explosion.
"What a nasty feeling", and Team Rocket flew away.
"Yo, little fire dragon, you have become stronger", at this time, Dayou's voice came.
"Dayou is you, what are you doing when you come back at this time?" Xiaoxia said with a very unkind face when she saw Dayou.
"Of course, I picked it up as agreed," Daiyu said.
"What?" Xiao Gang obviously didn't believe it and said, "Obviously, you threw it in the mountains, and it hurt Ash's arm."
"That's what he deserves, who let him get involved with us, I discarded the little fire dragon because it was very weak at the time, and it was natural to lose the Pokémon with poor strength, although I didn't want to pick it up at all, but it seems that he is still quite growing, so there is only time left for me to cultivate it", Daiyou said with a beating.
"You are like this", Xiaoxia heard Dayou's words and said that the little fire dragon was not worth it.
"Little Fire Dragon, although I have subdued you now, I will not force you to follow me, you can make your own decisions", Xiao Zhi squatted down and said to the little fire dragon at this time.
"Ash", hearing Ash's words, Ash felt that it was not very good, after all, Ash liked the little fire dragon so much, and he wanted the little fire dragon to continue to follow this useless trainer
"It's okay, it's okay to respect Pokémon's opinion, we can't force Pokémon to listen to themselves", and Ash said to Xiao Gang.
"Okay, come in", and at this time, Dayou suddenly threw out a Poké Ball.
"Woo~, woo~", but the little fire dragon bounced the baby ball away with its tail, and used the jet of flames to knock Dayou away.
"Little Fire Dragon", after Ash saw Dayou being beaten away, he picked up the little fire dragon, and the little fire dragon was also very happy to hold Ash, so the little fire dragon completely joined Ash and their team, and Ash and his party began to continue to move towards Dead Leaf City.
