But that person actually asked the Pokemon for its consent before capturing it. This was the first time he'd seen such a thing.
...Wait a minute, did that human just understand what he was saying?
Thinking of Ash, who conversed with him fluently, Bulbasaur suddenly showed an unusual expression on its face.
That's a human, not a Pokemon. How can he understand Pokemon language? Indeed, this human is very unusual.
Bulbasaur felt a strong curiosity towards Ash; this was the most special human he had ever met.
After eating and drinking, Misty tidied up the dishes and packed the camping gear back into her Space Backpack, then the three of them followed Bulbasaur and Oddish to their home.
Before long, the three arrived in front of a wooden cabin. A young girl was squatting on a patch of open ground, with many Pokemon in front of the cabin.
The girl was methodically grinding herbs and applying them to some injured Pokemon.
Upon hearing the commotion, the girl looked up and saw Bulbasaur, along with Ash, Misty, and Pikachu.
"Bulbasaur, you're back! And these three are..."
"I'm Ash, from Pallet Town, this is Misty, the Gym Leader from Cerulean City, and this is..."
"I'm Brock, the Gym Leader from Pewter City!" Before Ash could introduce him, Brock had already stepped in front of Ash, introducing himself without hesitation.
Ash scratched his head and looked at Misty with a puzzled expression.
Misty shrugged and gave Ash a helpless smile. She had already noticed before that Brock seemed to have no resistance to older sisters, even her three sisters caught his attention.
This guy appears simple and honest, but deep inside, he is a bit shy. However, for now, he's still quite bashful and only shows himself in this usual way. Who knows what he'll be like in the future.
After the three introduced themselves, the girl paused and then softly said, "Hello, my name is Melanie, and I'm the owner of this healing house. Is there anything you need? Did Bulbasaur cause you any trouble?"
Melanie saw Bulbasaur leading in the front from the start. This was the first time Bulbasaur brought humans here, so she instinctively thought Bulbasaur caused Ash some sort of trouble.
"Not at all, the thing is..." Ash quickly waved his hand and explained his purpose for coming here.
After arriving here, Ash also understood what it was that Bulbasaur wanted to protect.
It was this healing house.
Apart from Bulbasaur, the majority of the Pokemon here were at Newbie Level. Probably all the Pokemon here were under Bulbasaur's protection. Even though Bulbasaur wasn't very strong himself, compared to the Pokemon here, he was undoubtedly the big boss.
Due to his concerns for the future of these Pokemon, Bulbasaur didn't want to leave with him.
"So that's how it is..."
"Miss Melanie, if you need Pokemon to guard the healing house from harm by bad people, I can report to the alliance and have this place designated as a fixed healing location in the wild, and then have the alliance send people to station here!" Brock stepped forward and said.
He could see Ash's strong desire for Bulbasaur, and even though he was initially enchanted by Melanie, he didn't forget to come up with a plan for his friend.
Eventually, he thought of using the power of the alliance to protect this place. By applying through his status as a Gym Trainer, it shouldn't take long before it's approved, and then Bulbasaur wouldn't need to protect this place all by himself.
Your brother Brock might have some infatuation, but brotherly friendship is still the most important!
