Chapter 6: Pipsqueak and the Moon Stone

Ash and his party had been heading to Hualan City, where the next gym was located, and Ash and the others chose the nearest shortcut, Tsukimi Mountain.

"By the way, Xiaoxia, I haven't seen your bicycle since Nibi City, have you sent it back?" On the way, Ash asked.

"That's right, I see that you are all walking, and it is inconvenient for me to send it back with my bicycle", Xiaoxia replied to Ash.

On the way to Tsukimiyama, "the name Tsukimiyama sounds very classical," Xiaoxia said.

"Classical is classical, but legend has it that a meteorite once fell on this mountain," Xiao Gang continued.

"Isn't it the Moon Stone, isn't it the Stone that can make Pokémon like Pipsqueak Fat Ding evolve, and I'll have to pick up some spare when I enter Moonsee Mountain," Ash said.

"Wow, that sounds good, Pippi and Chubby Ding are so cute", Xiaoxia's girlish heart was offended when she said this.

"Ah————h

Walking to the entrance of the Tsukimi Cave, Ash saw a group of supersonic bats attacking a person similar to a doctor, "This is supersonic bats, Pikachu, use electric shocks on them", Ash immediately shouted at Pikachu, and Pikachu used an electric shock when he heard it.

Pikachu's electric shock successfully hurt the supersonic bat, "Okay, now is it, go for the Pokéball", Ash saw this and threw the Pokéball to subdue the supersonic bat.

When the other sonic bats flew back into the cave, Ash and the others saw clearly that the person who was attacked was "so numb".

"Are you alright?", Ash stepped forward to make sure.

"It's great, it's so touching to me, thank you, thank you for saving my life", the man immediately got up and hugged Ash to thank him, but Pikachu, who was caught in the middle, was uncomfortable and used an electric shock on the two of them.

"What are you doing, numbness", Ash said angrily after being electrocuted.

"I'm sorry, thank you for showing me the warm friendship between humans and Pokémon, I'm a researcher of Love and Courage at the Science Museum in Nibi City, my name is Li Ke", and the person immediately held Ash's hand before and after and said excitedly.

"This person is so strange", Xiaoxia said in disgust.

"Why are these supersonic bats attacking you", Xiao Gang asked his curious question at this time.

"Then let's start with the cave," said Li Ke, and walked towards the cave.

Ash and the others then followed Li Ke into the cave, "You guys come and see this cave, isn't it very bright, just like during the day, some strange people made the cave look like this, and as a result, Pokémon's life was out of balance", Li Ke explained as he walked.

"You mean, the sonic bat is deranged by the light," Xiao Gang said.

"Others, like Pyras, can't help but grow shiitake mushrooms over and over again, and pangolins are dry and almost dehydrated," said Li Ke, pointing to Pyras and pangolins on the side as he walked to an open field. At this time, Ash threw a Pokéball at the dehydrated pangolin and successfully subdued his fifth Pokémon.

"And I'm patrolling around like this in order to protect Mt. Tsukimi from being destroyed by bad guys," Li Ke continued.

"Oh~ You're on patrol, but why is this place being damaged", Xiaoxia asked Li Ke later.

"Because the Moon Stone has become too famous", Li Ke stopped and answered Xiaoxia after hearing Xiaoxia's question.

"That's it, a romantic product from the universe, the Moon Stone, legend has it that it has been sleeping on this mountain, but to this day nothing has been found except for broken stone, it is said that it is a gift from the universe, and since the moon stone can strengthen the power of Pokémon came out, more and more people have come to Tsukimi Mountain to search for it in order to get the moon stone", Li Ke continued to explain.

"I see", although Ash already knew, it was better to say it, and after that, Ash and they saw a Pipsqueak jumping over with a moon stone.

"Which is... Pippi", said Li Ke as he saw Pippi.

"Wow, it's so cute", Xiaoxia has very little self-control for this cute Pokémon.

"~~~~~~~ Pips", Pipsqueak suddenly called out and attracted Ash and them.

As soon as I got there, I saw a meow staring at Pipsqueak, "Why are you here?"

"It turns out that you villains made this cave like this", Xiaoxia recognized the meow of course, and then said angrily.

"Who are they", Xiao Gang didn't know about Team Rocket yet, so he asked.

“………… The following is omitted (Team Rocket classic line)", Musashi and Kojiro appeared.

"What kind of Rocket Team," the researcher asked, puzzled.

"Our goal is a rare Pokémon with a high value, and this time, we need Moon Stones to strengthen the Pokémon's power," Kojiro said.

"In this way, you will soon be able to conquer the world, hahahaha," Musashi said narcissistically.

"We won't let you succeed", knowing that Team Rocket turned out to be a bad guy, Xiao Gang immediately said.

"Li Ke, Xiaoxia, you go to protect Pippi, Xiaogang and we will go up", Xiao Zhi also said at this time.

"Okay," Xiaoxia agreed, and then went to the back to protect Pipsqueak.

"Go ahead, Abo snake, gas bomb", Musashi and Kojiro of course sent out Abai snake and gas bomb.

"Ba Da Butterfly, it's up to you", "Use this to duel, up", Ash and Xiao Gang both sent their own Pokémon to the field, Ash sent Ba Da Butterfly, and Xiao Gang sent the supersonic bat.

"So you also subdued a supersonic bat at the entrance of the cave, Xiao Gang", Xiao Zhi patted Xiao Gang on the shoulder and said.

"That's right, I think the supersonic bat is very valuable for breeding", Xiao Gang replied to Xiao Ash.

"Gas bombs, use the fog", Kojiro ordered the gas bombs to use the fog.

"Ba Da Butterfly, use the storm to blow the fog away", Xiao Zhi said to Ba Da Butterfly.

"Supersonic bat, you also blow away the fog", Xiao Gang asked the supersonic bat to help Ba Da Butterfly.

Together with the supersonic bat, Ba Da Butterfly blew the mist from the gas bomb to Team Rocket.

"Ahem, ahem, it won't end so easily, Abai Snake uses a bite on Ba Da Butterfly", Musashi ordered to Abai Snake, "Gas bomb, use impact on supersonic bats", and Kojiro also ordered together.

Ah Bai Snake and Gas Bomb rushed towards the Supersonic Bat and Ba Da Lake together, "The Supersonic Bat uses ultrasound", the Supersonic Bat uses ultrasound, and the Gas Bomb and the Aba Snake start to fight each other.

"It's my turn next, Ba Da Butterfly uses her telekinesis to send them away", Ba Da Butterfly used her telekinesis to make Team Rocket float, and then Ba Da Butterfly threw them out of the hole.

"yes, we won, Xiao Gang, the cooperation is too perfect", Xiao Zhi praised Xiao Gang and said, "Hmm".

"Okay, let's go chase Xiaoxia and them", Ash suddenly remembered Xiaoxia and them.

"It's already outside", Xiaoxia and Li Ke poked their heads out of a large crack.

They continued on their way, and in the evening they came to a river, and sat down to rest.

"What is this?" Xiaoxia saw that Xiao Gang was feeding the supersonic bat, so she asked.

"This is Pokémon food, and it's a food that I specially prepared for all kinds of Pokémon appetites."

"Oh, by the way, come out, Pangolin, can Xiao Gang help my Pangolin recover", Xiao Zhi remembered the Pangolin he had just subdued, and then asked Xiao Gang.

"No problem, just replenish the water and eat something to rejuvenate you", Xiao Gang said confidently after looking at the situation of the mountain mouse.

After that, the pangolin successfully recovered its physical strength, and the pangolin thanked Ash and Ash for taking care of it, and ran to Ash's side to thank him "Bu Ji~, Bu Ji~".

"Hello, Pangolin, please give me a lot of advice in the future" "Pika~" Ash and Pikachu greeted the Pangolin friendly.

Then "Pickup~, Pickup~", "Phi Phi~, Pi Phi~", Pichu and Pi Phi are also communicating.

After dinner, everyone followed Pipsqueak again, and they came to a cave, and when they entered the cave, they saw a huge rock glistening in the moonlight.

"This is the deity of the moon stone", Li Ke immediately sighed after seeing it.

"I can't imagine it's so beautiful", Xiaoxia continued.

"It's an incredible feeling to watch", Xiao Gang also made his remarks.

At this time, Pipsqueak put the moon stone in his hand under the big moon stone, just enough to make the small moon stone below form a circle, and surrounded the big moon stone.

"Look," Xiaoxia exclaimed excitedly when she saw a lot of Pippi dancing around the moon stone.

"It's amazing, it turns out that the Pippi formed a social life of their own," Li Ke also said excitedly.

"Pichu ~, Pichu ~", "Phi Phi ~, Phi Phi ~", the exchange between Pichu and Phi Phi here also made Ash and others know that the moon stone is the god who protects Pips.

"Meow, I found out", just as Ash and the others were immersed in Pippi's dance, Meowmeow's voice came.

"You guys are really ghostly", turned her head and saw that it was Team Rocket and his party, so Xiaoxia said complaining.

"Moon Stone, I will never hand it over to you," Li Ke said with trembling legs.

"Why is this man so excited?" Musashi asked in disgust when he heard it.

"This stone belongs to them, and I will never let you succeed in your treacherous scheme," Li Keqiang said calmly.

"Do you think that's going to work, Meow, you see his feet shaking, Meow," Meowth continued.

"In that case, let's use Pokémon to decide the winner, Pikachu, it's up to you", Ash took the lead in sending Pikachu. "Pickup ~".

"You can go too, Big Rock Snake", Xiao Gang sent the Big Rock Snake.

"Abo snake, gas bomb, on".

"Abba snake, dig a hole", "gas bomb, use a smoke screen", this time Musashi and Kojiro seem to be going to fight quickly.

"Ahem, Bibi Bird, it's decided that it's you", Ash immediately sent Bibi Bird again, "with a fierce storm", "Than ~, Than ~", after the smoke screen cleared, Ash and the others found that there was only a big hole left in the location of the moon stone, and it turned out that they had fallen into Team Rocket's trick.

"Big Rock Snake, track from underground," Xiao Gang immediately ordered.

"Let's chase it too", Ash and the others followed from the road.

"Ahh

"Found it," Xiaoxia said after seeing Team Rocket.

"Well done, big rock snake, tie them all up", Xiao Gang immediately ordered, "Woo-".

"Gas bomb, quickly counterattack", "Gas ——, gas-", after hearing Kojiro's order, the gas bomb immediately collided with the big rock snake, and the two Pokémon lost their ability to fight.

At this time, from the pit dug by the big rock snake, Li Ke and Pipsqueak jumped out. Pipsqueak waved their fingers together, used the finger flick technique, and then there was an explosion, "That's it for today, it's a nasty feeling", Team Rocket was also blown away, but the moonstone was also blown into pieces and began to fall, and those who touched the moonstone fragments evolved into Picoxi. Everyone went to the top of the mountain to watch Pippi dance to the moon.

The next morning, "I decided to live with Pipsqueak and them, if the Pokémon are happy, I will be happy, and one day I will go to the universe with Pipsqueak", Li Ke finally made up his mind.

And Xiao Zhi took a few moon stones given by Pippi and left Yuejian Mountain with Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang, and headed towards the location of the next gym.
