After becoming the honorary trainer of the Orange Islands, the last thing Ash wanted to do on the Orange Islands was completed.
Before leaving, he made an agreement with Drake to fight again if there was a chance in the future. Drake even decided to step down from his position as the chief trainer of the Orange Islands and go out for training.
Since becoming the chief trainer of the Orange Islands, the reputation and overall strength of the Orange Islands have indeed increased a lot, but it is not enough compared to the trainers outside.
The high-end combat power of the Orange Islands is not as good as the high-end combat power of the regular alliance, such as the Four Elite Fours.
The strongest ones here are the four gym owners of Southern Cross, plus him as the chief trainer, and there is a gap between him, the chief trainer, and the gym owner of Southern Cross.
Even so, he couldn't even defeat a league champion, and it was a disastrous defeat.
Low emotional intelligence: not as skilled as people, not as good as children.
High emotional intelligence: There is still a lot of room for improvement.
All in all, if you continue to serve as the chief trainer on the Orange Islands, you may still be able to experience the feeling of being invincible and superior, but that is not what Drake wants.
What he wants is real progress in his strength and true invincibility, not this false reputation.
That's why Drake resolutely stepped down from his title as chief trainer and prepared to go out and make a career. When he comes back again, he will definitely come back with a stronger attitude. By that time, Dragonite may have become the champion.
By then, he will have more energy to lead the trainers of the Orange Islands to become stronger, and lead the entire Orange Islands to become a true Orange Laegue!
...
After saying goodbye to Drake, Ash, Misty and Serena started their return journey on Lapras.
It actually doesn't take long to get to Pallet Town from the sea. If you take a cruise ship on the Orange Islands or take a plane, the time to go back will definitely be greatly reduced.
However, when they came, they had already missed seeing a lot of scenery along the way because they were in a hurry. Now they had nothing to do and went back slowly, which was just the right time for a return trip.
In this leisurely day, seven days passed in a flash.
Ash and the others finally arrived at an island on the edge of the Orange Islands. As long as they passed this island, they could return to the Kanto area. It wouldn't take long to return to Pallet Town.
At the end of this week, the three of them had a great time traveling around the mountains and rivers. They had made up for all the things they had not done before.
The Orange Islands are originally a holiday destination. Even if you spend a month here, you probably won't find anything the same.
While traveling around, Ash also fulfilled his duty as a "mentor" very well, which was to teach Serena and help her move towards a mature trainer.
Serena's knowledge is much better than when Ash first came out. At least she knows the attribute restraint and the names of some famous Pokemon.
The only Pokémon in Serena's hands now is a long-tailed fire fox that has not evolved for a long time. For beginners, raising an Pokémon is quite simple and easy to use.
After training the long-tailed fire fox to a certain level, she was about to start thinking about what to tame the second Pokémon.
Serena doesn't have a belief similar to Misty's, she only conquers water Pokemon.
As for what kind of Pokemon she wants to tame...for the time being, the Pokemon she wants to tame are all cute Pokemon, and their combat prowess is secondary. This is in line with the thoughts of many little girls who have just become trainers.
Although many girls will change their minds later on, after all, cute Pokemon are often not very good at fighting, and it is even very difficult to train them.
Like Pikachu, except for Ash, there is no one who can be cultivated into a talent at all. Ritchie can only be regarded as a half-cultivated talent.
Although not all cute Pokemon are the same as Pikachu, similar to Mew, Three Spirits of Shinnoh, Latias, etc...
Aren't these also cute? But the question is, how many people can meet these Pokemon, and how many people can conquer them?
Therefore, it is better to honestly conquer some Pokemon that although not very good looking, have quite good combat power, such as Gyarados, Fearrow and the like.
Pokemon like this are easier to tame and are not difficult to train. Gyarados is relatively more difficult to train, but Magikarp is a worse Pokémon than Pikachu. After evolving, it jumps directly into the dragon gate and becomes a popular battle Pokémon. There must be some price to pay for this.
If you want to be easy to train, have some combat power in the early stage, and be strong enough to defeat three families one by one in the later stage, please.
For novices, the Starter Pokémon in various regions are definitely the best initial Pokemon. If there are no Starter Pokémon, you can consider using insect Pokemon to transition in the early stage. If there are Starter Pokémon, then just concentrate on training the Starter Pokémon.
This is the case with Serena now. As long as the fire fox is cultivated and grown to the final stage, it will be easier to deal with battles or conquer some Pokemon with stronger combat power.
Generally speaking, as the level of your own Pokemon increases, the strength of the Pokemon you conquer in the wild will also increase. For example, the highest-strength Pokemon in your hand can only advance to advanced levels, so even if you meet elite-level Pokemon in the wild, there is nothing you can do against them.
But if you have elite Pokemon, you can conquer them if you meet them in the wild. Of course, this is just an example. It is not that easy to meet elite Pokemon in the wild.
But it is easier than training them yourself. In fact, many trainers do this. Like Ash, almost all Pokemon are cultivated from scratch, which is a minority among the minority.
Anyone who can achieve Ash's level can basically become a famous trainer, similar to the Four Elite Fours and the league regional champion.
As for Serena, it is better to stick to the step by step for now and wait until the long-tailed fire fox evolves to the final stage before thinking about the next direction.
In addition, during these seven days, Ash and the others also encountered some unexpected situations.
One of them was that Team Rocket, who had been missing for nearly a month, ran out again!
After making such a big mistake, even if someone is released on bail, they may not be able to get out for a while, and it is even more impossible to get out within a month, not to mention that their backer Sakaki has disappeared. Several senior cadres in the Rockets should have no interest in those three guys.
In this case, who will bail them out? Who else can bail them out?
In the end, Ash didn't ask any questions about the Rocket trio. The follow-up was that Serena, who met Team Rocket for the first time, watched the three Rockets perform a trapeze for her!
Serena, who saw that scene for the first time, was very worried and said, "Is it okay if they fly into the sky and fall like this?" '.
Not just Serena, but anyone who sees this scene for the first time may think about this.
After falling from such a high place, the Pokémon is okay, but is it true that nothing will happen to the person?
That kind of height is estimated to be thousands of meters, and the person has flown to who knows where. According to the parabola of physics, this will definitely fall to death!
But Ash said that the bodies of the two people and the cat were stronger than iron. Not to mention that they were only at a height of a thousand meters. Even if they fell into meteorites from outer space, they would probably only have slightly dirty clothes. Not to mention the three members of Team Rocket, they are definitely the best in the world in terms of invention and resistance to attacks.
In addition to meeting Team Rocket, the three of them also met a worse group of people.
Although the Rocket trio said they had done a lot of bad things, that was only relative to Ash. After they met Ash, all the bad things they did were aimed at Ash, and none of them succeeded.
For Ash, those three guys can't even be considered bad now, they can only be considered stupid!
But the group of people he met after he knocked those three guys away were really bad.
They are the culprits who caused Ash's Lapras to be separated, the Pirate Hunting Group of the Orange Islands, or simply the Pirates.
That group of pirates had a boatload of people, about twenty in number. They all looked very rough and they didn't seem to be easy to get along with.
When Ash and the other three met the group of pirates, they happened to see them chasing Lapras's tribe. Ash also took action directly and asked Gardevoir to kill them all.
However, the strength of that group of pirates was somewhat beyond Ash's expectations. The leader actually had gym-level Pokemon. It was not unreasonable for them to have been domineering on the Orange Islands for so long.
On the one hand, it is more difficult to capture at sea, and on the other hand, the strength of the leader of the pirate leader is almost beyond that of most of the trainers on the Orange Islands.
Even if some trainers saw it and wanted to act bravely, they would never be the opponents of these pirates.
Let alone trainers who act bravely, I am afraid that most Miss Jenny is no match for these pirates.
The Pokemon used by Miss Jenny are usually Kati Dogs or Wind Speed Dogs. This Pokémon has a fire attribute and is difficult to fight on the sea. Most of the Pokemon in the hands of the pirates are water attributes and have a restraining effect on both Kati Dogs and Wind Speed Dogs.
Under this situation, even if Jenny found traces of the pirates, it would be extremely difficult to arrest them.
Ever since, this group of pirates has been living freely in the Orange Islands. Once some rare Pokemon on the sea encounter this group of pirates, they will basically not end well.
When Lapras' tribe met the pirates, they managed to escape, but one of them, Lapras, was lost, which was the one that Ash conquered.
Then now, they met this group of pirates again, but what a coincidence, Ash is also here!
With the help of Gardevoir, no matter whether the pirate leader ordered all members to attack collectively or used the artillery on the pirate ship to attack, it had no effect.
Gardevoir can stop them all with just one thought.
Gardevoir, who has reached the Elite Four level, is already able to control part of the power of heaven and earth. Beings below the Elite Four level are nothing to her. Even the more powerful human shells, missiles and other attacks can no longer pose a threat to her.
It's okay for other Pokemon. The Elite Four-level super-power Pokemon don't have many ways to deal with missiles and artillery shells.
Although it is more difficult for Pokemon with super powers to fight across levels, they are definitely the strongest among the same level in terms of versatility.
In the end, the arrogant pirate group fell under Gardevoir's pomegranate skirt. All twenty-two members of the ship were arrested and no one was spared.
Lapras was finally reunited with her family.
When Ash saw the happy smile of Lapras when getting along with her family, he subconsciously thought that maybe his first separation was coming.
Lapras was originally forcibly separated by the pirates. Compared to Lapras's entire life cycle, Lapras is now like a newborn baby.
During this period of time, under Ash's training, Lapras's size, combat power, and character were all growing rapidly, but it still couldn't change the fact that she had not escaped from childhood.
In this case, the probability of Lapras returning to the tribe is very high...
Ash has no intention of stopping Lapras from returning.
After all, he has always respected the Pokemon' choices and wishes the most. If Lapras chooses to return to the tribe, then he will never interfere with Lapras.
Between biological parents and a human who had only been together for a little over a month, any normal Pokémon would know how to choose.
It's just that... Ash Lapras doesn't seem to be very normal.
After reminiscing passionately with his parents and everyone in the tribe, Lapras actually slowly moved his body on the water, slowly widening the distance from the tribe.
Under the shocked gazes of the Ash's trio, Lapras's biological parents, and her tribe, Lapras finally returned to Ash on the shore.
That's right, Lapras's choice was to stay with Ash. Although she only stayed with Ash for a short period of one month, this month made her feel completely transformed.
Lapras was certain that if this kind of progress was within the ethnic group, it might not be possible to reach this level even if it took a year.
In addition to the improvement of his own strength, Ash's attitude towards her is the most critical. The feeling of treating her as one of his own allows Lapras to feel the warmth of home even if he is not in the group and even if his parents are not around.
Although Ash is not her relative, he has become no different from her relative as she grew up.
In order to repay Ash for his life-saving kindness and nurturing kindness, and for the sake of his own future, Lapras finally did not choose to return to the gentle hometown of the tribe, but chose Ash to fight for the future with him!
