The humid and humid forest, unlike the Tokiwa forest, is characterized by low trees and shrubs. In the middle of the woodland there is a dirt path that has been carved out of the river.

"So why are you here?"

Ash followed Pikachu and Sika at his feet, walking behind Researcher Ah Shu and chatting with Xiaoxia. Sika glanced at Ash with the same eyes, he didn't think much of it before, but after spending a little time with Ash, he felt that this guy always couldn't stop arguing with Xiaoxia.

Two people are born to rush or what's going on?

"Why can't I be here? Where do you think I'm going to be. ”

Xiaoxia glanced at him obliquely, expressing disdain. If it weren't for the guy's luck and thick skin, the Pokémon named Leolu would have been her Pokémon.

Cut, it's not that she envies his luck.

... It always feels like two people are weird.

"I'm determined to become a trainer of the Water Pokémon Master, and I heard that there is a Water Stone produced in this place, and if you help drive away the troublemakers, you can get the Water Stone as a reward, so of course I want to take it."

"Anyway, it's strange that you're here, isn't it that ordinary rookie trainers just go to the local gym to challenge and then be miserable, right?"

Xiaoxia squinted at Ash, which annoyed the latter inexplicably.

"Hey, hey, hey, we've traveled together for a while, and you look down on me so much."

"A simple-minded guy like you, who has no experience, and who always thinks things too simply, I really can't find any merit in you that is worth seeing me."

"What are you talking about?"

"Pickup, pickup..."

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise, we're here."

At this time, Ah Shu had to interrupt the two of them to show their affection, and pointed ahead helplessly. It was becoming desolate, and there was a large clearing at the end of the dirt road, and there were many white mechanical instruments in the clearing.

And there seem to be a few Pokémon scattered around the clearing, I don't know what they're doing.

Two mosquito tadpoles, one fast swimming frog. There is a king goldfish, an agate jellyfish, and even a few king carps swimming in the water. However, when I got a little closer, I noticed that there seemed to be a Kami turtle and two Jenny turtles on the other side of the clearing.

"A lot of water Pokémon... Hey, that's Jenny Turtle. ”

"That's right. I told you before that there was once a blastoise in this area, and most of the blastoises in the wild evolved from the Kami turtles, which have a super high status in the group, and that blastoise may be the leader of these Jenny turtles. ”

Ah Shu said this, pointing to the instruments placed near the clearing where he was.

"Those are the instruments we need to recycle this time. The others are now going to Nibi City to borrow transport vehicles, as long as we expel them and wait here for them to come and transport yours is done. ”

"Why do you have to borrow a transport vehicle on a temporary basis? Have you not been ready for a vehicle? ”

Xiaoxia asked:

"You didn't decide you didn't want the equipment in the first place, did you?"

"Before, yes. Because it's not like you can find a trainer who has logged in in the alliance every day to help, and there are no great trainers in our neighborhood..."

"This kind of thing, isn't there supposed to be a gym trainer in Nibi City, wouldn't it be nice to ask the gym trainer?"

Ash remembered the Nibi Gym and asked.

"Uh, this... Because our institute has always been at odds with the Nibi Gym... The relationship is not very good, so. ”

Ah Shu smiled a little, as if something was hard to say.

"And Xiao Gang, the gym trainer in Nibi City, doesn't really need such a thing as the Water Stone, and we can't afford to pay Xiao Gang, not to mention that the Pokémon Alliance explicitly stipulates that the relevant person in charge of the gym is not allowed to go out without permission during the Pokémon Convention Gym strength test, and Xiao Gang is the only person in charge of the Gym in Nibi City, so just..."

"Okay, okay, anyway, it's because of the discord with the gym trainer."

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes, interrupted Shu's words, and took out her Poké Ball, and Ash did the same.

"It looks like the blastoise you mentioned doesn't seem to be there, so let's just get rid of all the elves now."

Ash looked at the group of elves who seemed to be vigilant and nodded.

"Hey, Xiaoxia, if you can, let me the mosquito frog? I'm just in need of a water-based elf to help me get through the Nibi City Gym. ”

Xiaoxia glanced at Ash, who was eager to try.

"I thought you wanted to catch a Jenny turtle."

"Jenny Turtle I want one too, anyway, as long as I show my strength in the open, they shouldn't be very resistant to me subduing them, right? In that case, why not take a few more? ”

"You're so arrogant, if you want me to say, it's a little hard for you to beat that fast swimming frog."

"Huh? Fast swimmer? ”

"Oh yes, I almost forgot that you're a novice trainer who has just come out and practiced for less than a year, and you can't even tell the difference between a fast swimming frog and a mosquito coil frog."

Ah Shu was stunned, novice trainer? However, seeing Ash take out a red illustrated book from the inner pocket of his clothes, his heart that was originally a little wavering calmed down again.

Pokémon Illustrated is something that only beginner trainers who have been educated on Trainer and Pokémon at a young age, and have received official recognition from the Alliance.

If that's the case, even if you're a novice trainer, you shouldn't have a problem.

"The fast swimming frog, the evolutionary form of the mosquito coil frog, is very heavy because the fat content of the body is 0, and all body structures are made up of muscles, so it is said to have the ability to cross the ocean without resting."

"Hey, the whole body is full of muscles, how is this possible..."

"What's impossible?"

Xiaoxia glanced at him, many of the Pokémon on the opposite side had already begun to run away, and only the fast swimming frog was left in the clearing, and a Kami turtle and a Jenny turtle were still there.

"Okay Ash, the fast swimming frog is not something that people like you are now can deal with, most of my Pokémon are not around, so you'd better besiege that fast swimming frog with me. And Pokémon in the wild will always be weaker than the Pokémon cultivated by the trainer himself for various reasons, so wouldn't it be better to take in a mosquito tadpole and slowly cultivate and evolve? ”

Ash was stunned, after all, the gym trainer would not dispatch too strong Pokémon for a novice trainer, in fact, it was enough to take in a mosquito coil tadpole.

"And don't you notice that the eyes of that fast swimming frog are very unmotivated? Compared to the usual fast swimming breast, it is obviously thin and not small, and it is better not to take this Pokémon if it is not necessary. ”

Kasumi had already thrown out the Poké Ball.

"Powerful Pokémon will always attract Pokémon trainers to try to catch, and if this fast swimming frog is strong, it should have been subdued in the last attack, so use your brain."

"Unless it's the Blastoise like Mr. Ah Shu said, it's too strong to be subdued, otherwise the remaining Pokémon shouldn't be too strong Pokémon."

"Unless we run into an Blastoise, we'll be able to complete the mission safely, Ash."

Sika silently watched as Ash and Kasumi commanded their Pokémon and pounced on the three Pokémon that were still in the clearing. He felt a little strange in his heart, why didn't the Jenny turtle that ran away just now seem to be trying to flee in a hurry?

Don't tell me, that Jenny turtle really went to call the blastoise...
