"Pika~"
In the spacious clearing, the electric mouse was rapidly moving its limbs, dodging a thick pillar of fire.
The whole process looked exceptionally arduous. Each time it was nearly grazed by the pillar of fire, its cute little face revealed a hint of seriousness.
"Alright, that's it for today's training!"
Seeing that the timing was just right, Ash immediately had Pikachu and Chimchar stop.
This was the second training session after lunch, and the content was still focused on Chimchar's Flamethrower training.
"You did a great job, Chimchar!"
Although it didn't hit Pikachu, Chimchar worked very hard today, and its attitude was very worthy of praise.
"Mh-gei~"
Upon receiving praise, Chimchar was slightly stunned. Looking at the Trainer's serious expression, tears of satisfaction welled up in its eyes.
With this, he immediately picked up Chimchar and comforted it softly.
He knew this meant that Chimchar had walked out of the past and completely integrated into the team.
"Thank you for your hard work, Pikachu!"
Because it wasn't convenient to speak directly, he communicated with Pikachu secretly using Aura.
Pikachu's contribution to helping Chimchar regain its self-confidence could be described as indispensable.
After all, throughout the entire afternoon, it was Pikachu who had been training with Chimchar.
During the whole process, Chimchar's Flamethrower almost always hit by just a hair.
Pikachu pretended to be on par with Chimchar; it was acted so vividly that no one could find any faults.
If it were any other Pokémon, it wouldn't have achieved this effect at all.
"Happiny~"
Happiny, who was playing house nearby, found that the newly joined Chimchar also wanted a hug, so it curiously walked over to take a look.
"Alright, it's not a baby, you little one, go play!"
Looking at the Happiny joining in the fun, he instantly understood its little thoughts. After putting Chimchar down, he let Happiny go back to play.
"Happiny~"
Happiny's mouth curled up, then it turned around, moved its short legs, and continued playing house with its sisters.
Chimchar, under Pikachu's guidance, also went to rest with the main group.
Because Pikachu knew that they would be setting off again in a while, there was still time for free activities now.
Seeing Pikachu and Chimchar walk away one after another, he also walked toward a big tree. Dawn and Brock were taking a nap under this tree.
He lay down on the lawn near the girl as unobtrusively as possible, admired her slightly unladylike sleeping posture for a few moments, and opened the panel before falling asleep.
He took a few more glances at Chimchar's luxurious attributes.
[Pokémon: Chimchar]
[Classification: Chimp Pokémon]
[Attribute: Fire Type]
[Ability: Blaze]
[Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Defense (31), Speed (31)]
[Moves:... Ember, Fury Swipes, Flame Wheel, Flamethrower, Dig]
[Held Item: Charcoal]
[Strength: Superior (1%)]
It was another Pokémon with 6V individual values, the fifth Pokémon with full individual values in his hand.
When he first saw Chimchar's panel, his mouth almost split from smiling.
Even after a few days, every time he saw the 6V individual values, he couldn't describe his own joy.
It could only be said that it was worthy of being the most prominent existence in Sinnoh.
Although it didn't slaughter gods to prove its path in the plot, the Blaze state was not to be underestimated.
With proper cultivation, it could definitely become the second Fire-type trump card after Charizard.
[Coins: 41900]
In addition, the coins in the backpack were also rising steadily.
One look and he knew it was Charizard, Sceptile, and the others, under the leadership of Pidgeot, starting to challenge the Pokémon in Viridian Forest.
For him, this could be described as the second piece of good news after capturing Chimchar.
It would not be an exaggeration to call it a double blessing.
Thinking of this, he closed the panel and lay on his side next to the girl, preparing to fall asleep.
Supplement some sleep and get ready to set off again in a while!
...
Professor Oaks Laboratory Backyard
This was the home for the Pokémon that Trainers had captured, kept by Professor Oak.
The land behind was absolutely spacious; after all, it was modified by Professor Oak, who deliberately contracted several mountains and a large area of surrounding land.
Inside, there were various terrains such as lakes, rivers, grasslands, forests, plains, and mountains, which could almost accommodate every captured Pokémon.
Such a comfortable environment was once jokingly called the Professor Oaks Laboratory nursing home.
And Ash's Pokémon were also entrusted to the Professor Oaks Laboratory nursing home.
However, the former Professor Oaks Laboratory nursing home now had a trace of something wrong.
For example...
"Snorlax, take it easy, you can't practice Bounce here!"
Professor Oak was wearing a familiar lab coat, but his eyes were full of panic, and he kept shouting to stop Snorlax, who had turned into a meatball, from jumping up and down.
He didn't know what was going on with the Snorlax that Ash had teleported back!
Its strength had increased a bit, which was reasonable, but why had its personality changed too?
It was still as diligent as before when it came to eating, but this guy had miraculously started training!
This was, of course, a very good sign for Snorlax.
But who taught the Snorlax in front of him to use Defense Curl + Rollout, and then use Bounce?
Was it unaware of Snorlax's tonnage?
Falling from such a height, it was like an Earthquake, scaring him so much that he ran over from the laboratory, mistakenly thinking something big had happened.
It turned out to be the Snorlax that Ash had sent back a few days ago.
While surprised, he couldn't help but feel a headache for this Snorlax that was causing trouble.
Compared to the current Snorlax, he still preferred the silly one that would sleep for 18 hours a day.
"Alright, Snorlax, here is your energy cube!"
In order to get the other party to stop, Professor Oak quickly took out the energy cube specially made for the Snorlax Family from his pocket. Theoretically, one piece could satisfy Snorlax's appetite.
But Ash's was special; it actually had ten more than a regular Snorlax.
"Snorlax~"
Hearing this, Snorlax stopped bouncing instantly, landed with a boom again, and then used Rollout to arrive in front of Professor Oak.
It opened its big mouth to receive the energy cube thrown by Professor Oak.
"Burp~"
It burped with satisfaction, rubbing its round belly.
And indicated to Professor Oak: No exercise today, come back tomorrow.
Then its fat body fell to the ground, and it fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
"This clever guy!" Professor Oak commented with a wry smile. It seemed that the other party was treating training as a way to get extra snacks!
As expected of a Pokémon trained by Ash!
But this was not the most troublesome thing. He turned his gaze to the location where Pidgeot, Sceptile, Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Noctowl were gathered.
After these guys came back from Ash's side, they gathered together mysteriously every day.
Besides training together, they actually started to go out collectively.
This was a very extraordinary phenomenon!
