"Pickup, pickup!"

Sika, who had made up for his awakening, rolled over and got out of bed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ash leaning against the door of the tent with Pikachu in his arms, eating the blue orange fruit he had found nearby.

Sika breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in fact, when Pikachu didn't appear immediately yesterday, he felt a little uncertain. It's impossible for Xiaogang Xiaoxia to travel all the way from the battlefield, so if you want to give the Poké Ball to Ash, then there is only one way:

Have Pikachu bring Pokéballs to Ash.

Pikachu has a keen sense of smell, is small, and moves quickly, and although it is not safe to navigate the chaotic battlefield, it is much stronger than at least humans.

The towel containing the Poké Ball was still on the table, and the Blastoise, Ba Da Butterfly, and Bibi Bird were all back.

"Pickup pickup!"

Pikachu, who was trying to rub his head against Ash, also saw Sika coming slowly at this time, and cutely stretched out his short hand and waved it in the air.

"Road."

Sika's response was much more lukewarm.

"Are you awake?"

Ash also noticed Sika and turned around.

[Some headaches.] 】

"Do you want to come back to rest in the ball?"

[No, I'm fine.] 】

Sika shook her head, and in two or three steps she stepped onto Ash's shoulders and rested her head on his head.

[Let's go.] 】

Ash gently moved his upper body, which had been exposed for a long time in the cold air of the forest in the early morning, regained some vitality, and stood up from the ground with Pikachu in his arms.

"Pickup pickup?"

But at this time, Pikachu was reluctant, and jumped out of Ash's arms, shouting something anxiously at Ash on all fours.

"Pika, Pikapi, Pikachu!"

"Uh..."

"Pikachu... What's wrong? ”

"Pickup, pickup!"

"Are you trying to tell me something? For example... Are you hungry? ”

[It's not.] I suggest you feed your own belly first, though. 】

Sika said lazily.

"Uh, why?"

Ash was stunned for a moment, squatting down slightly, watching Pikachu's claws constantly waving in the air.

"Pickup pickup, pickup, pickup, pickup."

“...”

"Pickup?"

“... Uh, you mean... Are you lost? ”

"Pickup."

Pikachu was stunned for a moment, but then rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Ash doesn't have to guess now. But at the same time, he didn't have to guess, he also felt that he had a headache.

"Sika, can you translate for me?"

[Translate what?] 】

“... What Pikachu is saying. ”

[I have a headache right now, don't bother me.] 】

Ash hugged Sika off his head, and the blank Sika had long since lost his sharp eyes, and some were just full of laziness and a little bit of sporadic pain.

[My head hurts, don't bother me, let me rest for a while.] 】

“...”

Ash suddenly found that Sika at this time was simply salted.

...

At critical times, the spirit is agile, calm and silent.

When it's not critical... It's definitely salted fish, right?

"Nothing?"

[It's okay, it's just that I have taken too many attacks beyond the limit, and my body can't withstand the pressure, so I may not be able to fight for the next period of time.] 】

His voice was a little erratic.

“... Let's get some rest, let's go back to the Poké Ball and rest for a while. ”

"Actually, in your current state, even if you stay outside, you can't protect me, can you?"

Ash didn't allow Sika to continue talking, took out the Poké Ball, and took Sika back from it.

“... Thank you. ”

He sighed softly and looked at Pikachu, who was still fangs and claws, and he leaned down slightly, allowing Pikachu to climb up his shoulder.

"Okay, well, since you said you can't go over there, then let's go in another place."

Ash glanced into the distance, and although he didn't know why Ash didn't want him to leave in that direction, since Pikachu didn't want him to leave, it would be better to go in a different direction.

"Come out, Bibi Bird."

Ash flicked the ball into the sky, and Bibi Bird appeared in the white light, and a bright cry told Ash that he was very energetic now.

Also, lying inside Pokéballs for a whole day, how can there be no vitality.

"Bibi Bird, could you please show us the way to the nearest town? No matter how far away or near it is, please take me there as long as you find it, okay? ”

"Chirp!"

Bibi replied to Ash's command in a high voice, flapped his wings, and flew into the sky.

Looking at Bibi Bird's figure gradually moving away, Ash took a handful from his pocket, and the two Poke Balls were thrown high by him, and with two crisp sounds, the huge Blastoise and the petite Bada Butterfly appeared in front of Ash.

Ash said hello to Ba Da Butterfly, who was happily flying freely in the forest after a long absence, and the blastoise standing silently in front of him without saying or moving, and asked them to go to the nearby orchard to find some food and come back.

Looks like we're going to have to stay at the camp for a while.

Solve the problem of eating first.

Looking at the bonfire that had gradually been extinguished, Ash, who originally wanted to get some meat to eat, also gave up.

It's not easy to find meat when you're in the wild, and yesterday's unknown attack that almost changed the terrain almost changed the terrain of the forest, not to mention the large number of cows, wild deer, and even fierce Pokémon that can scare away all of them.

Then again...

Ash recalled the blow that was like a heavenly punishment, and his heart was full of yearning.

That kind of power...

Feeling the impact that seemed to tear the earth apart from close up made Ash look for it. Of course... If it weren't for Sika, he might have been buried under the sand forever.

However, that didn't stop Ash's determination to yearn for power.

"That kind of power, I'm afraid it's a legendary Pokémon, a powerful power that can be used... But why is that kind of power happening here? ”

Can't figure it out.

Withered Leaf City, Pokémon Center.

Groups of white-clad Alliance trainers are scattered around the Pokémon Center, and the Pokémon Center, which is usually open to all trainers, is temporarily closed, and several middle-aged people in black suits are gathering to talk.

Standing at the very edge, a young man with dazzling red hair, wearing a dark blue background, a long yellow striped dress, and a cloak on his back, was the most extraordinary. Although he is the youngest among them, he is also the highest status among several middle-aged people.

The Dragon King of Kanto, Watari.

"The USB flash drive has been brought back, but why don't you leave those two people behind? Cross. ”

"You're not qualified to know."
