Chapter 11 Everyday Life
It's been a while since Ash accepted a mission as a trainer for the first time in his life, but was almost attacked by a Pokémon Blastoise that often attacked trainers nearby, causing all of them to be injured and having to return to the Pokémon Center in Nibi City to recuperate. After a period of confusion, Ash finally regained his strengths and began to prepare for the challenge of the Taoist Temple in Nibi City.
At noon, beside a small river in the Nibi Forest, the warm sun shone on the water, and reflected the sparkle on Ash's forehead, which was covered with cold sweat. It's not the first time I've pitched a tent, but I'm still very unskilled.
He had just barely set up his tent, crooked, trembling as if it were going to fall apart at any moment. On the contrary, Xiaoxia had already set up her tent and was picking up stones in the river to support the iron pot placed on the bonfire.
Sika sat on the tree and watched Ash and Kasumi set up the camp where they lived for a short time, and turned around to continue picking the blue orange fruit on the fruit tree with Pikachu.
They're going to be here for a while.
Before many newcomers challenge their first Pokémon Gym in their lives, they often train half a month to ten months in advance. Get used to being a Pokémon trainer and run in with your first Pokémon.
In fact, Ash has subdued Bibi Bird, Ba Da Butterfly and Sika along the way, in fact, if you are serious, you can already be regarded as a good novice trainer.
Not every Novice Trainer will be able to subdue Pokémon at first. Some Pokémon trainers themselves are too unfamiliar with Pokémon's skills and abilities, which severely limits Pokémon's strength.
This situation is not a special case for novice trainers, and it is often seen in some trainers who have problems with their command skills. In actual combat, it is often manifested that the Pokémon that should have been defeated are simply lost by releasing water.
However, although Ash is a good novice trainer, he is still a rookie trainer after all. As a Ash with big goals, it's clear that he's not content to stand still.
He is not satisfied with being the kind of greenhouse flower who only knows how to conduct "fair", "just" and "safe" Pokémon duels under the protection of the rules all his life.
So it's no surprise that he decided to do a special training session for field combat or emergency response.
However, although Ash's sluggishness when he was attacked by Blastoise almost caused a catastrophe before, it at least made him understand that a trainer is not just hiding behind Pokémon, like a wood, only knows how to direct his Pokémon in battle.
In that case... Actually, it's some kind of blessing in disguise, right?
In short, because of the above reasons, Ash is going to do field training. Xiaoxia's words... It's just that I think Ash is a funny person and has a charismatic personality, so I volunteered to come over and help - or more to take care of this guy, don't let him die here.
In short, Ash's goal in the field training is mainly to hone in the cooperation between himself and Pokémon, and to improve from a novice rookie to an ordinary trainer who can take charge of himself as soon as possible.
The specific performance should at least be able to react to Pokémon's reminders and in the face of various emergencies.
Of course, there is a more important thing.
... It's about finding a way to tame blastoises.
The flames scorched the iron pot, and Ash used the chopping board and simple table and chair he brought in the folding space backpack to cut vacuum-packed vegetables and meat slices, while Xiaoxia sat on the stone next to him and looked at Ash in surprise:
"Didn't expect to be so well prepared? Especially when a guy like you is so nervous can cook, I really can't tell it. ”
"There's a lot more you can't see, wait until you find out."
Carrots, potatoes, parsley, and some sesame oil, stir the condiments and set aside. Ash expertly handled the ingredients as he asked:
"What about Sika and Pikachu?"
"I think I'm looking for more tree fruits in the neighborhood."
"Are there many tree fruits in the forests of Nibi City?"
Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and said:
"There aren't any well-known Pokémon in Nibi City, and most of the people who come here are vendors who buy and sell weird stones."
"As more and more vendors are stationed around Nibi City, the more frequent excavation work has seriously affected the survival of nearby Pokémon, so there are no Pokémon to eat wild tree fruits."
Hearing this, Ash felt as if he had heard this sentence from somewhere, so he asked Xiaoxia for the purpose of seeking knowledge, but Xiaoxia choked on the ash of his nose.
"Are you an idiot, that's what the travel guide you hold in your hand all day long. I just read it and remember it, but the guy you've been studying all day can't even remember the special precautions? ”
"I'm not a tourist, so of course I'll focus more on special towns that have special points of prominence in terms of Pokémon training and breeding..."
"Pickup, pickup."
"What's wrong, Pikachu... Oh! A lot of tree fruits... Thanks Pikachu. ”
"Road..."
Sika and Pikachu returned from the depths of the forest with two bosoms of tree fruits, and Ash picked up the tree fruits one by one, smiled and touched Pikachu's head with his right hand. As for Sika, he rolled his eyes and twisted his head, but he didn't avoid Ash's groping.
Xiaoxia looked at it like this, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
This guy has only been with his elves for such a short period of time, and his relationship is actually so good...
This guy is really special.
Ash processed the tree fruits one by one and continued to prepare lunch.
It's time for lunch. - Humans
The sun rises in the East, and food comes first. - Foodie
Ahem.
A pot of spices made from various tree fruits and a variety of food soups, and another iron pot with fragrant rice as the main dish, and a few slices of tree fruits soaked in heated river water as tea, a simple lunch is about that.
"Well, there's also Pokémon-specific food..."
Ash filled the soup and rice and placed them on the table, unbuttoned his apron and put them back in his backpack. Xiaoxia threw a few sticks of firewood into the bonfire, washed her hands in the river, and sat down at the dinner table.
Her Pokémon?
Horned goldfish and white sea lions prefer to eat fresh small fish in the river, so they have been scattered just now and don't know where to go. As for the starfish, the Jewel Starfish only needs to eat some aquatic plants, and they also don't need special Pokémon food to raise.
"By the way, Xiaoxia, is there no problem if you don't leave Pokémon around?"
"It's okay, isn't it still you."
Xiaoxia shrugged, making Ash stunned and pursed her lips.
"Come out, Ba Da Butterfly, Bibi Bird, Jenny Turtle, eat."
"Wei~"
"Bibi."
"Jenny Jeni..."
Three Pokémon jumped out of the Poké Ball one after the other and appeared in the clearing. Ash shrunk the Pokéballs back onto his belt and took out three cans of Pokémon food with different labels from his backpack...
Of course, there's no forgetting the jar of Pokémon food with the ketchup label just for Pikachu.
Bibi Bird, Bada Butterfly, Jenny Turtle, and Pikachu don't have exactly the same sense of taste as humans, but the unexpected Sika seems to have the exact same sense of taste as humans.
With this ready, he didn't seem to have any intention of sitting back at the table, but instead took out the Pokéball that represented the sixth Pokémon on his body.
It was a baby ball belonging to the Blastoise.
