Although the three of them would be fine even if they fell into that hole, besides Ash, the other two would definitely suffer some minor injuries since the pit isn't shallow.
"Thanks, Ralts... You over there, I've 'seen' you, come out!" After thanking Ralts, Ash coldly addressed the nearby thicket.
They were currently at the town's entrance, with some grass about chest-high nearby.
Ash hadn't paid any attention to those things initially, but after almost falling, he immediately activated his Aura Power to scan the area and 'saw' the five Auras within the grass.
No need to say, the trap was definitely set by those guys in the grass.
"Squirtle! Squirtle!" Seeing that they had been found out, the presence in the grass decisively jumped out.
Ash only detected an Aura in the grass without delving into what was inside, and when the five Auras jumped out, he was startled because those hiding in the grass weren't humans or Pokemon, but... Squirtle!
That's right, one of Kanto's Three Starters, and there were five of them!
For a moment, Misty and Brock didn't look at the Squirtles but at Ash, with very peculiar expressions on their faces (old man, subway, phone.jpg).
For the third time... the third time!!
In less than ten days, they encountered all three of Kanto's Three Starters, and this time there were five at once—it's just unbelievable.
The rarity of finding these Starters in the wild goes without saying; encountering one or two over ten years would be normal, but who else but Ash would meet all three after just over a month of traveling? His luck seems like a blessing from above!
"It's Squirtle!! And so many of them!" Ash exclaimed, eyes wide in amazement, looking at the Squirtles.
Even he hadn't expected to meet Squirtle, the last of Kanto's Three Starters, after Bulbasaur and Charmander, and this time with five of them.
However, these Squirtles all wore sunglasses, and the leader's sunglasses had a different shape, making it unlikely that these were innocent Pokemon.

[Six-dimensional Ability: Physical Attack C (B) Special Attack B (A) Defense C (A) Special Defense C (A) Physical Strength B (A) Speed C (C)]
The leader Squirtle's six-dimensional abilities left Ash astounded.
Such a talent, even within the Squirtle community, is one in a thousand, very rarely seen—how did he encounter this in the wild again?
Could it be... his luck not only works for draws in the group but also in the real world?
Besides the leading Squirtle, the other Squirtles' talent wasn't bad either, with most having at least a B-level qualification.
This talent is already considered above average.
"Ash, snap out of it, now's not the time to be daydreaming over Squirtles. They are quite hostile towards us!" Misty's voice brought Ash back from his pleasant reverie.
He suddenly recalled that the trap they almost fell into seemed to be set by these Squirtles.
They had never met before, so why would these Squirtles set a trap to harm them?
"Squirtle! Squirtle!" So they didn't fall into the trap, these humans are quite capable!
Squirtle's words were clearly understood by Ash, firmly confirming that it was indeed these Squirtles who set the trap.
