"How about it? Do you want to come with me? I will use my methods to make you stronger!"
He extended the invitation to the Chimchar with orange fur in front of him, a sincerity shining in his dark eyes, using this as his ultimate move to invite the other party.
"Pikachu~ Pikachu~"
Pikachu also learned from Ash and extended its hands, sincerely persuading the hesitant Chimchar.
"Chim~"
Regarding this, Chimchar looked at Paul, who had suddenly stopped, and felt a bit hesitant.
"You must join (Meow)!" X3
The Team Rockets trio peeking in the bushes said in unison.
Although they were often blasted away by the Little devil, they had to admit that he was quite friendly to the Pokémon in his hands.
As long as it joined, Chimchar wouldn't have to endure cruel training to become stronger.
"Chee-chee~"
Amidst everyone's expectations, Chimchar finally accepted the Trainer who often helped it, gently touched the Poké Ball, turned into red light, and was taken into the ball again.
"Congratulations, you've caught Chimchar!"
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Dawn and Brock clapped and offered their congratulations one after another.
"Yeah!"
Ash was also quite happy and celebrated with Pikachu.
"I hope I will see the day it becomes stronger!"
Paul, who was originally preparing to leave, saw this scene, uttered this sentence without saying anything else, and then walked away again.
Leaving behind only an angry Dawn shouting at him, and Ash, who was lost in thought while looking at the Poké Ball containing Chimchar and the bushes nearby.
The scene shifted, and the three of them soon arrived at the Pokémon Center.
At this time, Chimchar had been healed by Ash's Viridian Power, a series of injuries had healed, and the hidden injuries remaining in its body had also been eliminated.
Then it was time for Chimchar to eat the energy cube to replenish the energy consumed after the great battle.
"Eat slowly, no need to rush!"
He touched Chimchar's head, signaling the little guy to eat slowly; no Pokémon would fight it for food.
"Pikachu~ Pikachu~"
Pikachu nodded in agreement, then pointed a small finger at Ash, indicating that he still had plenty!
"Chee-chee~" Chimchar was slightly stunned, looking silently at the red energy cube in its hand.
It then remembered that the other party was not Paul, and it seemed it didn't need to eat so fast and then go train.
"It seems Chimchar has suffered quite a lot!" Dawn said quite emotionally.
"After all, under Paul, training has probably become the norm!" Brock also commented with a sense of realization.
Different Trainers have different attitudes toward Pokémon.
Harsh training of Pokémon like Paul does is a very rare existence.
I don't know why he is so obsessed with becoming stronger, just wanting to force out Chimchar's potential, while ignoring the health of the Pokémon's body.
Fortunately, this little guy met Ash, which can be considered a lucky break in the midst of misfortune.
"By the way, Ash, do you have any plans to let Chimchar play?" Brock clapped his hands and suddenly reminded him, "Chimchar has been healed, but in my opinion, it's better to let it rest for a few more days!"
"That's right, long-term training will definitely keep the nerves in a tense state!" Large blue eyes stared straight at Ash, agreeing quite approvingly.
"Don't worry, I already have plans for this!"
Facing Dawn and Brock's advice, Ash nodded in agreement.
Because he didn't intend to send Chimchar onto the field anyway, but to leave it with Nurse Joy to rest.
To relieve the pressure brought by the long-term cruel training from Paul, and then talk about other things later.
...
The next day, the Battle Arena will hold the semi-finals and finals to determine the winner of the double battle.
The first match was Brock and Sumire against Ash and Dawn, sending out Croagunk and the self-contained-ingredient Farfetch'd respectively.
And on Ash and Dawn's side, they sent out the Steel-type Steelix and the Electric-type Pachirisu.
Facing such opponents, Brock's squinty eyes suddenly narrowed, clearly realizing that things were not simple.
Because the Steel-type Steelix can be immune to Croagunk's toxins, and Dawn's Pachirisu has a double advantage over the Flying-type Farfetch'd.
Just analyzing it like this, he knew that this match would be quite difficult to handle.
"Pachirisu, Discharge!"
"Steelix, Flash Cannon!"
Since Ash and Dawn's side had the first-move advantage, they launched the attack first.
In an instant, the blue electric current representing Discharge and the silver-white Flash Cannon shot toward the positions of Croagunk and Farfetch'd.
Fortunately, Croagunk and Farfetch'd managed to dodge these two attacks with their relatively agile figures, and used Poison Jab and Air Slash against Pachirisu and Steelix respectively.
Brock suddenly realized that he only had a hope of winning if he swapped opponents with Sumire.
Moreover, because Steelix's body was large and appeared extremely cumbersome, it could just be left for Farfetch'd to entangle, and it would be unable to stop the more agile Croagunk.
"Swapping opponents, this is indeed a good choice!" He agreed very much with Brock's judgment, "But unfortunately, Steelix will not easily let Croagunk escape!"
"Roar~"
Having said that, Steelix, as if responding to Ash's words, let out a low roar. At the same time, some steel blocks on its body glowed with white light and actually fell off in large pieces.
Under Croagunk's surprised expression, the Steelix, which should have been extremely cumbersome, burst out with unparalleled speed, chasing after Croagunk, who was running towards Pachirisu.
"What!"
Not to mention Brock with his squinty eyes, the older sister behind him was already shocked beyond words, "How could Steelix's speed become so fast!"
A massive beast several stories high was actually able to burst out with a movement speed comparable to Croagunk.
In the eyes of countless people, this was a very unreasonable existence.
"Not good, it's Autotomize!"
Brock, who also has a Steelix, immediately recognized this move, a method of lowering one's own defense to increase some speed.
At this time, the gradually slimming Steelix had gradually stuck behind Croagunk, chasing relentlessly, interfering with it from launching an attack on Pachirisu.
"Good opportunity, Pachirisu, Electro Ball!"
Dawn did not hesitate, immediately seizing this opportunity to launch an attack on the Farfetch'd that brought its own spices.
"Jima~"
The white demon revealed a mischievous smirk, condensed a blue Energy Ball on its white tail, and shot it out.
Although it was easily dodged by the opponent, Pachirisu, under Dawn's command, quickly approached and used Nuzzle to paralyze the opponent.
Then used Super Fang to finish off the Farfetch'd that brought its own spices.
"Sorry Brock, it's all because I'm too weak!" Sumire apologized to Brock sadly.
As a warm guy, Brock immediately indicated it was fine, and then watched the battle on the field with a rather ugly expression.
Under the siege of the big and small Pachirisu and Steelix, it was inevitable to defeat Croagunk and take the victory.
