"Huh? That's right. When Leo evolves into Lucario, they can use waveguides to form a ball and throw them to damage enemies. Oh, the name of the move is called the Wave Missile, what's the problem? ”

"Well, my Leo Road looks like he can use a wave missile right now."

Ash said with a glance at Sika, who was standing next to the table.

"It's true that Leolu has a very good talent and can master the wave missile in advance, so congratulations Ash, it seems that this one's talent is very good, you have to cherish it."

Dr. Oki narrowed his eyes and suddenly said:

"Still, this Leolu of yours... It looks like you're just in your infancy. ”

"Huh?"

"Pickup."

Ash was stunned for a moment, glanced at Sika, who seemed to reveal contempt in his eyes, and looked at Pikachu, who didn't seem to have a face on the side, and didn't know what it meant.

"I mean, the two of you have used a total of three Pokémon, and you have only ever beaten a baby Pokémon that has not fully grown up, Ash, and now I start to wonder if you are practicing hard or not."

"Ah, but I obviously have a motive in my practice..."

"If you have the intention to practice, hurry up and get the Rock Badge that represents the strength of the Pokémon Trainer. Okay, I'm still busy here, so I'll hang up if there's nothing to do. ”

"By the way, Leo Lu is still in the stage of development, and if possible, try to give him enough nutrients to grow and develop faster and better. In his most vulnerable infancy, it's best to avoid unnecessary fights as much as possible, you know? Although fighting can promote growth, if you are injured during this phase, it will be very difficult to recover. ”

"Okay, I still have something to do here, hang up first. My grandson, Shigeru, seems to have caught another Pokémon and sent it over. Ash, please catch more Pokémon soon, okay? So that's it, goodbye Ash. ”

“... Hey, Mao... Doctor? ”

Ash watched the phone screen go dark, so he hung up. Sighing, he still had a lot of questions for the doctor.

For example, how to cultivate Leolu well, he doesn't even know.

"Do you know how to raise Leolu? Pikachu. ”

“... Pickup. ”

“...”

Sika looked at the dead fish-eyed Pikachu and Ash's small theater with a melancholy expression, is there really no problem with such a trainer.

Well? What about Xiaoxia?

Pikachu also noticed the problem, and it looked left and right, tilting its head and asking Ash.

"Pickup?"

"What's wrong?"

Ash, who was fiddling with something on the illustrated book, asked tentatively:

"Pikachu, are you asking Xiaoxia? ... Uh, I don't know either. She said she was going to find a room to rest first, so she should be in some trainer's dorm now. ”

With that, Ash took out the Pokéball and aimed it at Sika.

"So would you please come back here first? Or are you planning to stay outside? Same as Pikachu? ”

Sika shrugged his shoulders and didn't move.

"Aren't you allowed to speak? Why are you so silent? Xiaoxia is not around, I feel a lot quieter in my ears. ”

In the two or three years in the forest, Sika gradually became a little silent, after all, he had not communicated with others for a long time, and now he was not used to communicating with human society.

"Well... Come back, Sika. ”

A red thread shone on him, and a strange pulling force enveloped him, and Sika was sucked back into the Pokéball.

When I opened my eyes again, I couldn't see anything. So he closed his eyes, and the power of the waveguide spread out again, and the blue world reappeared in his mind.

However, it's a little unreliable and unreliable, how do you feel that this Ash seems a little weird?

Delusion.

Sika quietly watched Ash walk out of the Pokémon Center and go to a nearby store to buy various goods to be used during the trip, wound medicine and other things, because the power of the waveguide can't capture the sound, so gradually Sika is also a little bored.

I simply relaxed my body and found a comfortable position in the Poké Ball to sleep.

Was it the first sleep he'd slept after leaving the forest?

...

"Thank you for your patronage."

"Thank you."

Ash took the large bag of merchandise in his hand and walked out of the store. Because there were so many things to buy, even Pikachu, who was following him, had a bag full of Pokéballs in his mouth.

"Excuse me, Pikachu."

Xiao Zhichan smiled and looked at Pikachu, who was almost buried in the bag, a little embarrassed. Pikachu struggled to hold the bag and responded:

"Pickup, pickup..."

"Hey, hey. There's no way around it, after all, we're going to have to do special training in a while, so if we buy more things now, we won't have to come back halfway to buy other things, right? ”

He sighed, and it really cost a lot of money to go on a trip. It looks like I'm going to go to the Pokémon Center to accept some quests and earn some extra money in a while.

Pokémon trainers are notoriously expensive to eat. The ingredients for cultivating Pokémon, wound medicine, training resources, evolution stones, and the cost of traveling are quite a lot of expenses.

Although some subsidies will be given to the Pokémon Center each time the trainer arrives in a town after opening the Alliance's Recognized Gyms, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of cultivating Pokémon.

In this case, trainers often choose to pick up some nearby residents at the Pokémon Center to stay on quests, and get paid to solve events to support the high cost of travel.

After all, Pokémon are not harmless ordinary animals, they are creatures with special abilities that can really harm humans and destroy human engineering.

The competition between humans and Pokémon for the natural environment has never stopped, resulting in wild human civilization products such as roads and reservoirs being attacked by Pokémon all year round, and residents living in the suburbs are often troubled by all kinds of troubles caused by wild Pokémon.

In this case, over time, those who are not qualified, or do not have the financial resources, to become Pokémon Trainers began to post quests in the Pokémon Center, asking capable trainers to help solve the problem.

For this situation, the Pokémon League is very appreciative. After all, even an official organization like the Pokémon League is difficult to take care of the engineering, construction, roads, and other things in countless towns, right?

Ash plans to take on a few missions, and train his Pokémon along the way to prepare enough for the Pokémon Gym in Nibi City.

He is still quite self-aware, after all, because he aspires to become a Pokémon trainer, he has studied a lot of books about Pokémon trainers since he was a child.

Therefore, I understand that although the Pokémon Alliance's Taoist Temple will provide opponents with similar strength for trainers with different strengths, if the trainers themselves are not outstanding, even if they win the battle, they will not be eligible to receive a badge that symbolizes the strength of the trainers.

And...

Ash plans to subdue a water-based Pokémon, because the Nibi City Taoist Temple is a ground-based and rock-based gym, and almost all of his Pokémon are restrained by the other party, so it will obviously be very difficult for Ash to win in this situation.

This is the real world, and passion and passion are not the secret of success.

Attribute restraint problems and countermeasures, pre-battle preparation, strategy, command, and Pokémon's own efforts, battle timing, luck, etc., are mixed together to brew the fruits of victory.

Although Ash is sometimes a little off-line, he is definitely not stupid.
