Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: A Bug Catcher Challenges Me!

"Squirtle!!!"

Squirtle hurriedly covered its mouth, looking at the masterpiece it had just created with a face full of shock.

What exactly was going on?

What did Fuyuki give it to eat? Why did it use such a powerful move just by eating a meal?

Squirtle quickly looked at Fuyuki beside it: "Squirtle Squirtle?!"

Fuyuki was also quite surprised by this.

However, after a brief moment of shock, he quickly regained his composure.

"As expected of a legendary item like Sacred Ash, worth 500,000 shock points a serving!" Fuyuki marveled inwardly before answering, "This is Sacred Ash mixed rice. It's a very powerful'seasoning'."

After the rainbow wing was burned by Sacred Fire, its form became a powder like pepper in a kitchen, so it could probably be considered a seasoning, right?

"Squirtle!"

Although Squirtle didn't understand, it was still greatly shaken. Sacred Ash—it sounded incredibly powerful just by the name!

"But Squirtle, how does your body feel?" Fuyuki inquired.

On the surface, Squirtle's appearance hadn't changed at all, but judging from its performance just now, the Sacred Ash, brimming with ultimate vitality, had clearly brought it an unparalleled power.

"Squirtle Squirtle!" Squirtle carefully sensed its physical condition and then clenched its fist.

It felt like its body was overflowing with power right now!

"Very good." Fuyuki felt a sense of relief; as expected, the Sacred Ash was effective!

"In that case, finish up this lunch! If you eat this food regularly, it won't be long before your body gradually becomes much stronger."

"Squirtle!" Squirtle nodded repeatedly and then quickly began shoveling the rice from its bowl.

Fuyuki glanced over at Gastly on the other side.

Initially, Gastly had shown a great deal of affection for the small dinosaur plushie he had given it.

It flew around the plushie and even made funny faces at it.

But gradually, after realizing the plushie wouldn't respond, Gastly's interest plummeted.

"Jie..."

It stared blankly at the plushie, then as if it had thought of a good idea, it immediately and excitedly picked up the plushie in its mouth, floated over to Fuyuki, and dropped it in front of him.

"Jie!"

Gastly wanted to play with the plushie with him.

Fuyuki scooped another bowl of rice from the pot and said, "Come eat first. We'll play after lunch!"

"Gurgle gurgle~"

Gastly's stomach was indeed a bit hungry. It thought for a moment, then set down the plushie and happily began eating its lunch.

After lunch, the group continued their journey toward Pewter City.

This time, Fuyuki didn't put Gastly and Squirtle into their Poké Balls. Instead, he let them walk alongside him and Entei.

Both Pokémon were very happy about this.

Squirtle was happy because it could stay outside and walk with Fuyuki.

Gastly was happy because it could play with Fuyuki outside.

"Tackle, Tail Whip, Water Gun, Withdraw, Bubble Beam... Squirtle's talent for energy control doesn't seem as weak as Professor Oak said."

Fuyuki used the rare candy exchange function to check Squirtle's level. Although it was a starter Pokémon, its level had already reached Lv6.

Gastly's level was at Lv4, and it only knew three moves: Confuse Ray, Lick, and Hypnosis. It was a very typical novice Pokémon.

Seeing the two Pokémon looking so happy, Fuyuki shook his head with a smile and then turned his gaze toward the deep thickets around them.

Viridian Forest, as the most famous forest in the Kanto Region, was home to countless wild Pokémon.

Most of them were primarily Bug-type Pokémon.

Like Caterpie and its evolution Metapod, Weedle, and Kakuna.

Besides those, there were also many Grass-type Pokémon, such as Oddish and Bellsprout.

The silhouettes of Pidgey could be seen on some branches. These Pokémon inhabited this vast forest, together forming a massive ecosystem.

Looking at the Caterpie that could be seen everywhere along the road, Fuyuki couldn't help but think:

Should he also catch a Caterpie to train?

Though Caterpie's body was soft and squishy—an absolute nightmare for those afraid of bugs.

But its evolution, Butterfree, was a very cute Pokémon.

Thinking this, Fuyuki had already taken out a Poké Ball.

But just then, a panicked scream suddenly erupted from within the forest.

"AAAAAAH! Help!"

Immediately after, the figure of a young boy emerged from the dense grass.

It was a boy wearing shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, and a straw hat, holding a bug-catching net.

Behind the boy, a dense buzzing sound followed closely.

Fuyuki's expression changed.

That was... a swarm of wild Beedrill!

"Help!" The Bug Catcher, running for his life, suddenly saw someone ahead. Without time for much else, he immediately shouted, "Run!"

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The Beedrill swarm let out rapid cries. Their compound eyes were locked on the boy with the net. Seeing another human suddenly appear, they naturally took the two humans as accomplices.

Seeing these wild Pokémon trying to attack Little One, Entei frowned and let out a Roar from its mouth:

"Roar!"

A scorching aura swept out from its body.

Feeling this terrifying power, the Beedrill swarm's movements came to a grinding halt. Then, as if they had seen some monstrous beast, they retreated rapidly toward the rear.

"Eh?"

The Bug Catcher was slightly stunned. He looked at the scene with utter disbelief. When he clearly saw the appearance of that Pokémon, his eyes widened.

"Thank you so much! My name is Komatsu, and I'm a Bug Pokémon enthusiast currently catching rare Bug Pokémon in the Viridian Forest... Eh? Wh-what kind of Pokémon is that?!"

[Bug Catcher Komatsu is extremely shocked by the mysterious Pokémon Entei scaring away the Beedrill swarm. shock points from Bug Catcher Komatsu +30!]

"It's Entei," Fuyuki said.

"Entei..." A name he had never heard before, but it sounded incredibly powerful!

Komatsu lowered his bug net. He looked at Entei, Squirtle, and Gastly, and couldn't help but speak up:

"You're a Pokémon Trainer too, right? How about a Pokémon battle with me? I'll have you know, I'm a Trainer who's very proficient in Bug-type Pokémon!"

Hearing this, Fuyuki wasn't surprised. Instead, he had a feeling of 'here it comes, it's finally here'.

In the daily life of the Pokémon world, the moment two Trainers lock eyes, a battle is about to begin.

Bug Catcher vs. Max-Level Entei!

Dun dun dun dun dun!

The BGM started; the grand battle was about to break out!!!
