Chapter 201 Is it really good for a Fire-type starter Pokémon to not know Fire-type skills?
Chapter 201 Are Fire-type starter Pokémon that don't know Fire-type skills really a good thing?
"Yes, that's the situation, Professor Oak."
After leaving Charizard Valley, Ash and his friends happened to arrive at a new Pokémon Center.
So that's how I contacted Professor Oak.
After explaining the whole story, Professor Oak felt a little nostalgic.
"The Fire-Breathing Dragon Valley, huh? That's quite an impressive place."
"Building a research base for Charmander isn't a bad thing, okay then, I'll help you."
Professor Oak knew that the Red Group was related to Ash, so he didn't ask any questions and immediately agreed to help.
This is the magical world of Pokémon. Adults, after all, will send their children on trips as soon as they reach the legal age.
As long as there is no major danger, they choose to let their children explore freely without interfering too much.
"But Ash, can you do me a favor too?"
"We're almost at Azalea Town now, Doctor. The gold and silver orbs will be delivered to Mr. Steel soon—"
With an embarrassed expression, Ash couldn't help being lost any longer; he was just trying his best to get somewhere.
"That's not what I meant, but you guys are definitely slow."
It's been two months and it's almost here; even Damu is starting to get impatient.
"The egg that Lugia entrusted to your care has hatched into a baby Lugia, hasn't it?"
"Yes, Blackie is growing up very well." Ash mentioned this when he contacted the professor earlier.
"If you have time, please send it back to me so I can study it!" Professor Oak's eyes were shining.
He'd never even heard of a black Lugia before; if it weren't for the fact that the little black one was too small, he would have wanted to study it long ago.
"Furthermore, Kongmu also sent me samples and data from his research on the black mist."
"That ability that can get out of control and infect other Pokémon is too dangerous." Professor Oak's expression suddenly turned serious.
"I've also done some research, and I already have a way to weaken or even eliminate the Black's infection ability."
"Now you just need to send it back so I can clean it up."
"Sigh, will Little Black turn white after purification?"
Wouldn't that mean that Black wouldn't be considered a unique Lugia anymore?
"Probably not, the dark energy is already part of Black." Professor Oak wiped his sweat, quite speechless.
"Is this what you should be focusing on?"
"Let me tell you, Ash, that black mist is—"
"Okay, okay, Professor Oak."
Seeing that the other party was about to start nagging again, Xiao Zhi quickly hung up the phone.
After giving a few instructions to the Poké Ball, I sent the Black Pokémon to Professor Oak and also got a Scizor and an Absol from the lab.
He then grabbed Xiaoxia and Lihua and quickly set off to find the Fireball Mouse.
This is a rumor that Xiao Zhi overheard while eating at the center today.
"We can't miss this! Let's get going!"
"I can hear Cyndaquil calling me!"
"But all I hear is the lost future calling to us."
"Ash, we ended up at the Pokémon Center because we accidentally wandered into a place that wasn't marked on the map."
"Now we have to set off again to find Cyndaquil. Are we really not going to lose our way again?"
"Xiaoxia has gotten lost before, don't worry about these minor details, let's hurry up and go!"
Anyway, Ash always manages to find the way inexplicably in the end, so he's long since stopped caring.
They soon arrived at the location where Cyndaquil was rumored to be present, but they didn't see any Pokémon there.
"Hey Pikachu, can you smell Cyndaquil?"
"Pikachu~"
The Pikachu on his shoulder immediately shook its head.
"Seriously, Ash, how could Pikachu possibly smell Cyndaquil here?!"
"It's not like it's a Pokémon with a great sense of smell." Misty sighed, seeing Ash's unreliable attitude.
"Hehe, you're right."
However, he did have a solution; he took out the Houndoom's Poké Ball and returned it to Rinka.
"Then let Houndoom go find it; it'll definitely be able to smell Cyndaquil."
Rika, who caught the ball, was a little incredulous. How could it be returned to her so easily?
What does it mean to secretly search Ash's sleeping bag every night?
Of course, it's because Xiaozhi's technique is good; she's addicted to it.
"I can, but are you really willing to give Houndoom back to me?"
"Well, you've been working very hard on your tasks lately, so I'm returning it to you."
"1
Ash often assigns tasks to Blossom to help Pokémon in need.
Putting everything else aside, at least Rinka has now developed a strong liking for non-Dark-type Pokémon.
He also gave her a proper reward, after all, he had trained Pear Blossom so well that she wouldn't run away even if she was allowed to roam freely.
"Anyway, I still have a Pokémon hostage in my hands, so I'm not afraid."
"hateful!"
"Alright, hurry up and help me find Cyndaquil's location." Houndoom is a dog, so its sense of smell is definitely much better than Pikachu's.
I knew this guy wasn't up to any good, but the return of Pokémon is definitely a good thing.
With her eyes still narrowed into crescent shapes, Rika excitedly released the Blackhide that she hadn't seen in a long time.
"Come out, my darling, I miss you so much." You only realize how wonderful it was when you lose it.
"Awoo~"
Just as Ash was about to give his long-lost partner a warm hug, Houndoom walked right up to Ash's feet and wagged its tail.
"Ouch, why?" Pear Blossom fell down.
Why are my Pokémon so close to that bastard Ash?!
Unfortunately, Ash has been taking care of Houndoom and Umbreon all this time.
What Rika didn't know was that she had never seen her own Pokémon, but Houndoom and the others watched their trainer do hard labor every day.
Xiao Zhi often led them to secretly stalk Rika from behind.
Although the two Pokémon were indeed somewhat hostile to Ash when they were first released.
However, Ash is both powerful and gentle with Pokémon, and he sees that his trainer gets along very well with the other.
The hostility naturally diminished, and the relationship gradually improved.
And Ash always feeds them delicious energy cubes, so they love Ash ^—.
"Waaah, traitor!" Rika quickly hugged Blackie back.
Although I'm almost fixed by Ash, Pokémon absolutely cannot be!
At this moment, Ash finally remembered his purpose and told Houndoom to get down to business and find Cyndaquil's whereabouts.
Houndoom sniffed the air and immediately detected the scent of Cyndaquil.
It barked a few times, signaling Ash and the others to follow.
After turning left and right through the jungle, we soon arrived at a nest full of holes.
In one of the higher holes, there was actually a fireball rat sunbathing.
"Great! We really found it!"
To prevent the opponent from escaping, Ash quickly released his Pokémon.
"Scizor, Bullet Punch!"
"Nino?"
Before the poor little mouse could even react, a huge, red, horned fist, the size of a clay pot, appeared before its eyes.
Startled, he jumped up and immediately turned to run away, but his speed was no match for the bullet punch, and he was knocked unconscious in a few blows.
*Thump!* Ash successfully caught the Poké Ball and added Cyndaquil to his collection. "Alright, I successfully caught Cyndaquil!"
"Pikachu!"
"What the hell? I've been tracking this Cyndaquil for days!"
"Release him right now!"
Just as Ash and Pikachu were celebrating, a cocky young man suddenly jumped out of the bushes.
"I've been searching for Cyndaquil in this forest for so long, and I came to check after hearing the sound."
"I didn't expect you to tame it. That Cyndaquil is mine now; I advise you to release it back into the wild!"
"The fact that we've been searching for several days means we haven't found it yet. We encountered it first, so naturally we should be the ones to subdue it."
"You have absolutely no right to order me around." Xiaoxia was a little annoyed by the other person's self-righteous and impolite attitude.
However, being an ill-mannered person, he merely clicked his tongue and showed an impatient expression in response to Xiaoxia's words.
"I don't care, this Cyndaquil must be mine."
The young man took out a Poké Ball and released a Sandslash, seemingly intending to steal it by force.
"Where did this guy come from?"
This stereotypical and annoying image made Xiaozhi think for a moment that he was there to attract their attention.
Then members of an evil organization will come and ambush them in Gundams.
"Houndoom, Flamethrower!"
Faced with the incredibly powerful jet of flame, Sandslash panicked and tried to dodge, but it turned out the attack wasn't aimed at it.
Then Sandslash heard its trainer's scream.
"Ouch, it's so hot, so hot, so hot!"
The flames happened to brush past the area of his trousers near the foot of the old Beijing imperial city wall.
Now it's time to grill the sausages.
"Why waste words on someone like that?" Pear Blossom said as bluntly as ever.
The young man was in so much pain that he clutched his groin and rolled around on the ground.
"That's too cruel. Is it really okay to attack trainers like that?" Xiaoxia was still too kind.
"What trainer? I didn't see one!"
But Pear Blossom was indeed still that wicked woman.
Ash and his friends casually kicked away a Pokémon that had inexplicably darted out from the roadside, and happily headed back with Cyndaquil's Poké Ball.
And sure enough, they got lost in the forest.
Although they couldn't find the way back to the Pokémon Center, they accidentally found the original route to Azalea Town.
"Really?" Xiaoxia looked at the main road in front of her in disbelief.
"I told you before, Xiaoxia, we would definitely find the way."
That's what makes Ash so amazing—he always gets lost, but he's never late.
Despite the scorching sun, the group of Bullet Fist walked cheerfully on their way to Hinoki Town.
First, he caught a Cyndaquil, then he found the way to Azalea Town, and there's even a gym in town waiting for Ash to challenge for the badge.
"Good things just keep happening one after another." Xiao Zhi felt that today must be his lucky day.
"I'm sure I'll get luckier and luckier!"
But as Ash walked on, he realized something was wrong. "Shouldn't there be a big river on the map here?"
They originally intended to replenish their water resources here, but they had recently run out of water.
But what appeared before them was only a riverbed that had dried up to its bottom.
"I really want some water." It's so hot, and Xiaoxia has been thirsty for a long time.
Now Xiaozhi is also in a bit of a dilemma.
Suijun can purify water, but there has to be water first.
It feels weird to drink water released by Pokémon. Does it count as drinking water?
After checking the system shop for mineral water priced at 10,000 League Coins per bottle, Ash bought three bottles and gave them to Misty and the others to quench their thirst temporarily.
"It's alright, we're just ahead in Hinoki Town!"
A little setback is nothing to worry about; today is still my lucky day.
Quickly release your newly caught Cyndaquil for some training to change your mood!
"Nino?"
"Hello, Cyndaquil."
This Cyndaquil is a bit silly; even when Ash picks it up, it still looks adorably dazed, but it seems to have a very good temper.
It's completely different from the old troll.
"Alright, let's have a match and test your strength."
Ash found a Pidgey next to the rock and took a look at Cyndaquil's information.
Pokémon Name: Cyndaquil
[Attribute: Fire]
【种族值：体力：39；攻击：52；防御：43；特攻：60；特防：50；速度：
65; Total: 309
【Ability: Blaze (When HP is low, the power of Fire-type moves increases)】
[Skills: Impact; Quick Attack; Flame Wheel; Flame Leap]
[Favorability rating: 10% (It thinks you look kind)]
【Intimacy Level: 5% (Still relatively unfamiliar)】
[Description: It usually curls its back up, but when it is angry or frightened, it will breathe fire from its back.]
"You've mastered quite a few skills." As expected of a Cyndaquil that can survive in the wild, Ash immediately placed it in front of Pidgey.
"Go, Cyndaquil! Use Flamethrower!"
"Nino~"
Unexpectedly, after Ash gave the command, Cyndaquil tried to open its mouth but only managed to exhale a small puff of black smoke.
The jet flame was not successfully used.
"Huh? What?"
"Then, then use the Flame Wheel!"
The situation was the same; the Cyndaquil curled up, and there was not a trace of flame on its back.
So it rolled straight toward Bobo, only to be kicked back by him.
"What's going on?"
"A Cyndaquil that can't use Fire-type moves, Ash, your Pokémon are always so peculiar." Misty shook her head helplessly.
Ash picked up Cyndaquil and stared at it blankly.
"Nino~"
Looking at its adorable expression, Xiao Zhi could only sigh.
"Sigh, come back first."
I can only put it back into the Poké Ball. I felt so lucky just now, but now I feel like things are getting worse.
"Let's hurry to Hinoki Town and replenish our water supply!"
However, when they arrived in Huipi Town at top speed, not a single tap in the town had any water.
The fountain in the central square of Liancheng Town has been dry for several days.
In the dry pool, only a few Slowpokes were lying in the shade, hiding from the sun, and there wasn't a single drop of water to be seen.
"Ash, look!"
At this moment, Xiaoxia noticed a large notice board next to the fountain square.
"Due to the prolonged and severe drought, government offices, schools, and dojos have all temporarily closed and stopped receiving water."
"That means I can't challenge the gym either!"
It took Mingming a lot of effort to finally get to Hinoki Town.
"There's no other way, I'll just have to go find Mr. Steel that Professor Oak told me about."
After finding out Steel's address from the town's residents, Xiaozhi and his friends arrived there.
Unexpectedly, the door was also locked. Xiao Zhi rang the doorbell several times, but no one answered.
"What do you want with this family?" Just then, a little girl carrying a flower basket passed by.
"Hello little sister, do you know where this family went? We need to talk to Mr. Steel."
"Yes, I know. I am Steel's granddaughter. My name is Chie."
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be Steel's granddaughter, and she told Ash and the others where Steel had gone.
It turns out that Steel is the manager of the Slowpoke Well in town, and recently there have been strange noises coming from inside the Slowpoke Well.
It seems something's happened. Steel went to check on them early this morning and hasn't come back yet.
"The Well of Slowpoke?"
"That's right. In our town, Slowpoke is the most important Pokémon. Legend has it that as long as Slowpoke yawns, the drought will end."
"It will rain heavily from the sky, and good things will happen to those who get caught in that rain."
"There's been a drought for the past few months, and everyone's been hoping that Slowpoke will start yawning again."
No wonder the central fountain is called the Slowpoke Fountain; there are so many Slowpokes there.
After getting the location of Slowpoke Well from Chie, Ash immediately took Misty and Blossom there.
He refused to believe that he would be so unlucky today that he would never even see the face of steel.
They jogged along and soon arrived in front of Slowpoke Well.
There is only one fountain-like area here, with a Slowpoke-shaped hand-operated water dispenser in the center.
It wasn't the well Xiaozhi had imagined. After searching around, they finally found a hole behind the fountain.
As soon as I got close and called out "Mr. Steel," I heard a loud noise coming from inside.
