Chapter 380: Mushroom Forest
After winning the Yokoto Town Ring Competition, Ash's group continued their journey towards Viridian City.
Today, they were having breakfast in Shroomish Forest.
"The weather is so nice today, and Brock's cooking is super delicious!" May exclaimed.
"I made a lot, so eat as much as you want!" Brock said with a smile.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, Corphish, the most enthusiastic eater in Ash's team, quickly devoured the food in his bowl.
Seeing that the other Pokémon were still eating, he, as if not full, set his sights on the other Pokémon's food.
The first one he targeted was Jigglypuff, who was a slow eater.
When Jigglypuff saw Corphish approaching, she immediately reached out to protect her food bowl, but Corphish was clearly used to being mischievous; the more he couldn't get something, the more he wanted it.
His pincers insisted on reaching over to snatch food, and as the pink graffiti demon who even dared to provoke legendary Pokémon, how could Jigglypuff tolerate him? She immediately unleashed a Double Slap.
A series of crisp'slap, slap, slap' sounds rang out, and Pikachu knew it was his turn to mediate the dispute.
Noticing this, May quickly asked Ash, "Ash, aren't you going to manage Corphish?"
"Don't worry about him, he's just used to being mischievous and needs a good lesson."
Ash was very clear about Corphish's personality.
Besides, with Pikachu watching, he wasn't afraid that Corphish would be beaten to death.
At the same time.
Team Rocket Trio, who had been tailing Ash's group, had now entered the depths of Shroomish Forest.
However, the Team Rocket Trio were not in good spirits; their stomachs were constantly protesting.
"I can't go on, I'm so hungry I don't want to take another step!" Jessie said weakly.
"When was the last time we ate?!" James asked.
"About 76 hours, 53 minutes, and 18 seconds ago, Meowth."
"Damn it, what route did Ash and his group choose?!"
"Exactly! Three days, we've been wandering in the forest for three whole days, and we haven't even seen a town!"
"If this continues, forget about getting promoted to executives, it's a question whether we can even get out of this forest alive."
The Team Rocket Trio were also miserable because when they left Yokoto Town, they rushed to follow Ash and his group without spending money to prepare supplies.
As everyone knows, it's normal for Ash to get lost no matter who he travels with, so the Team Rocket Trio were starving for over three days. Fortunately, their Team Rockets training included starvation exercises, otherwise they would have starved to death long ago.
Suddenly, an apple rolled beside James.
"I must be hallucinating from hunger, I'm seeing an apple phantom."
James was startled, and after realizing the apple was real, he immediately pounced on it and held it in his hands.
"It's a real apple!"
Upon hearing this, Jessie immediately reached out to snatch it: "Let me see..."
"At a life-or-death moment like this, we should share it equally, Meowth!"
"Wobbuffet!"
Meowth and Wobbuffet also gathered around.
Just as they were arguing, a noisy commotion attracted their attention.
They saw more than a dozen Shroomish, each with an apple on its head, demanding the apple from them.
The Team Rocket Trio, desperate from hunger, couldn't care less about anything else. Without a second thought, they grabbed the apples from the Shroomish's heads and started devouring them.
"So delicious!"
"I feel alive again!"
"That's right, Meowth!"
Just as they were eating with gusto, the Shroomish's protests attracted six distinctly different Shroomish.
"Hey, Meowth, what are they going to do?"
James had a bad feeling.
"They..."
Just as Meowth was about to translate, the six new Shroomish simultaneously glowed with evolution light.
Watching the Shroomish grow in size, Jessie's speech became stuttered, "I... I have... a bad feeling."
"Run!"
James hugged the apple he hadn't yet bitten into and ran away.
Jessie recalled Wobbuffet, followed suit, grabbed a few apples, and chased after them.
"No, wait for me, Meowth!"
Meowth, the slowest runner, quickly followed.
After those Shroomish evolved into Breloom, they had no intention of letting the Team Rocket Trio go and directly chased after them.
The direction the Team Rocket Trio fled was, unfortunately, precisely the direction of Ash's group's camp.
At this time, Ash and his group had just finished breakfast and were watching Corphish, who was lying down, being freely graffitied by Jigglypuff.
The angry pink graffiti demon couldn't even be pulled away by Pikachu.
Corphish was no match for Jigglypuff either; he was sung to sleep after only two rounds of fighting.
"Ash, your Jigglypuff really likes to graffiti," May said.
"Not really, she only graffitis people and Pokémon who can't listen to her whole song."
After Ash finished speaking, he looked at Jigglypuff and shouted, "Jigglypuff, once you've vented, wake Corphish up, there's a fight coming."
His Aura sensed many Pokémon approaching, including the Aura of those three idiots.
"Pika?!"
Upon hearing this, Jigglypuff's mouth curved into a cruel smile.
Next second.
Another series of'slap, slap, slap' sounds rang out.
Corphish, who had just fallen asleep, was brutally slapped awake by Jigglypuff with a big, forceful blow.
His cheeks were swollen huge.
After a good lesson, Corphish clearly realized that the old Pokémon in Ash's team were not to be provoked.
"Ahhh..."
At this moment, Team Rocket Trio suddenly rushed out from the nearby bushes.
"Team Rockets, why is it you three again!" May demanded.
"Since you asked so sincerely!"
"We will mercifully..."
Jessie and James instinctively prepared to say their opening lines.
"Wait a moment, I found food!"
Meowth's attention, however, was on the food Brock had prepared.
"Food?!"
Jessie and James pulled out a spoon from somewhere and, ignoring Ash and his group, began to gobble down the food.
"What are these three thinking?" Brock said, covering his face.
"God knows what they're thinking, but it looks like they've gotten themselves into trouble again."
Ash looked at the Breloom approaching menacingly from the other side.
"Those eyes... they look very angry. Hey, what did you three idiots do to them?" Brock demanded.
"Well... that..."
"We were too hungry... so..."
"So we snatched their fruit and ate it all right in front of them, Meowth!"
The Team Rocket Trio said somewhat guiltily.
"How could you do that? How is that any different from being a bandit?"
