"Hiss, don't use too much force~"
"Mm, yes, right there~"
"You have to keep it up for a bit longer, Dawn!"
...
Ash forcibly carried Dawn, who was dressed in a maid outfit, to the maid café in a princess carry, forcing the half-reluctant girl to perform special services.
However, because she was still quite inexperienced, she couldn't quite gauge the right amount of force.
"Hmph, I really want to bite you to death, you bad guy!" Dawn said angrily.
Dawn stood behind Ash, placing her slender hands on his shoulders, using all her strength to perform a special massage for Ash.
Dressed in the maid uniform, Dawn had been mentally prepared to serve Ash.
But who would have thought that this naughty guy wouldn't behave on the way there, always touching her thighs, especially giving her white stockings special attention.
By the time the dawdling Ash finally let her back on the ground, her legs felt nothing but a numb sensation.
It was evident just how miserable her legs, which had received Ash's special attention, were.
That was why she had started off with such heavy pounding for the massage Ash requested.
Although for Ash himself, Dawn's "heavy hammer" didn't make him feel any pain at all.
On the contrary, he enjoyed the heartwarming service for the entire morning with great relish.
On the other side, after working hard for the better part of the morning, Brock finally resolved the problem between Xiao Qiu and her Miltank, Lutan, with the "help" of the Team Rocket Trio.
Not only that, Brock also had an extra gain: he successfully captured Xiao Qiu's maiden heart.
As they were about to leave, Xiao Qiu even boldly confessed her love to Brock, but unfortunately, she was heartlessly rejected by him.
This made Ash and Dawn look at him with newfound respect.
After all, Xiao Qiu in her maid outfit was also a beautiful girl.
Although she was still young, if she let her hair grow out in a few years, she could grow into the mature Big Sister in Brock's mind.
But who would have thought that this guy Brock would have the resolve to reject her.
...
Leaving the maid café, the three walked and stopped along the road, continuing their journey.
Only, on the way forward, they frequently encountered wild Trainers jumping out of the grass to challenge them, which slowed their progress significantly.
However, there were some benefits to this.
For example:
"Staravia, Aerial Ace~"
With Staravia's beak as the center, surrounded by a large amount of airflow, it dove rapidly, preparing to land the final blow to finish off the opponent.
"Bidoof, use Hydro Pump!" the unknown Trainer commanded.
"Bidoof~"
In an instant, a thick blue water column rushed toward the diving Staravia.
But Staravia, relying on its excellent positioning, spiraled around the Hydro Pump, dodging the Bidoof's Hydro Pump while slamming heavily into the Bidoof's body.
It caused the opponent to slump softly to the ground, completely losing the ability to battle.
"You are very strong, let's meet again if fate allows~"
The unknown Trainer put Bidoof away, said admiringly, and then parted ways with the three.
"Won again, it seems like we haven't lost a single time~" After the battle ended, Dawn walked over and praised him sincerely.
"It's nothing, it's all because Staravia and the others are working hard enough~" Ash responded quite modestly.
After all, besides planning the training content for the Pokémon, everything was due to their own efforts.
After saying that, he wanted to lean down and pet Staravia's crest to encourage it.
As a result, in the next second, a dazzling white light lit up, forcing Ash to stop this action.
"It evolved~" Brock exclaimed.
In the eyes of the three, the well-developed Staravia before them began to gradually grow larger, until its form changed to a certain extent, and the white light in front of them slowly dissipated.
A Staraptor with a larger body and firm, sharp eyes appeared.
Staraptor possessed sharp claws and a pointed beak.
However, its biggest feature was the feathers on its head that resembled a crest; the bright red color gave a punk-like feeling.
Therefore, it is known as the hairstyle bird.
"Staraptor, the Predator Pokémon, a fierce existence. Even when encountering stronger opponents, it dares to bravely challenge them forward~"
Dawn used her pokedex to scan the evolved Staraptor, and her eyes lit up.
Because she had seen this large bird of prey at the Rowan Research Institute and felt it was a reliable guy.
And this one of Ash's was much larger in size.
"Congratulations, Staraptor, you finally evolved!"
"muke~"
Staraptor flapped its wings and cheered, feeling happy as well.
Because for Pokémon, evolution is equivalent to becoming stronger, an instinct carved into their genes.
So, except for special individuals, most Pokémon will not refuse to evolve.
Looking at the hairstyle bird in front of him, which was only one size smaller than Pidgeot, Ash also had many mixed feelings.
Because Staraptor was the first Pokémon he caught after coming to Sinnoh, and its significance was not ordinary.
With long-term consumption of Pokéblocks, this big guy in front of him also had the ability to carry people for flight.
It could be said to be a relatively excellent flight mount following Pidgeot.
Putting Staraptor away, the three continued to move forward, heading towards their destination.
However, on the way, Ash secretly opened Staraptor's panel.
[Pokémon: Staraptor]
[Classification: Predator Pokémon]
[Type: Flying, Normal]
[Ability: Reckless (When using moves with recoil, power increases by 20%)]
[Individual Values: HP (15), Attack (31), Special Attack (25), Defense (13), Special Defense (15), Speed (31)]
[Moves:... Quick Attack, Double Team, Endeavor, Whirlwind, Aerial Ace, Double-Edge, Agility, Brave Bird]
[Strength: Gym (1%)]
From the values, it was just an ordinary 2V Staraptor, with points added to the important Attack and Speed.
For a Staraptor that relies on Speed and Attack, it was a pretty good distribution.
And the ability was the hidden ability — Reckless.
This destined Staraptor to go further and further on the road of the "Suicide Bird", even more thoroughly than Swellow.
Who made this guy's ability Reckless, which can increase the power of moves with recoil like Double-Edge and Brave Bird.
With the support of these moves, Staraptor could deal huge damage when facing specific Pokémon.
Now Staraptor could be said to have fully formed its combat power, but there were still some moves it needed to learn from Pidgeot and Swellow.
Among them, the Final Gambit mastered by Swellow was the most important.
If it could learn this move, it would really go further and further on the road of the "Suicide Bird".
In specific situations, it could definitely achieve a limit one-for-one effect.
So he planned to send Staraptor back to the backyard for further training at the next Pokémon Center in the town.
