Ash warmly welcomes brocks joining the team.
People who have never experienced hiking cannot understand how lucky you are to have a companion who can cook and help you take care of Pokémon.
Don't mention anything else let's just talk about cooking.
With those classic cooking skills you can show off your cooking skills at every turn.
The protagonist conquers the heroine's taste buds and stomach.
Regardless of whether it was before rebirth or after rebirth Ash's craftsmanship was not very good.
The best review I've ever received is that it's just barely edible.
As for Misty's craftsmanship?
Better than Ash but not at the level of brock.
The two of them basically relied on portable food for their meals in the outdoors.
It is possible to have a companion like Brock who has taken care of his younger brothers and sisters since childhood and whose housekeeping and cooking skills are at full level to join him.
Misty's thoughts are similar to Ash.
She also support brock's joining them.
At the pewter City post office I checked in the large and small bags that Misty bought last night and sent them directly to Cerulean City but kept a jigglypuff with hat similar to ash in secret.
Three people and one mouse left pewter City and embarked on a new journey.
Head to the next city - Cerulean City Misty's hometown.
Get ready to challenge the Cerulean Gym.
The system also triggered the Cerulean Gym mission.
[Mission Option 1: Use the three Sakura sisters to complete the gym battle and obtain the Cascade Badge.
Mission reward: A photo album from Misty's collection. ]
[Mission Option 2: Complete the gym battle as trainer with Misty and get the Cascade Badge.
Mission reward: medium-grade Water Stone*1]
The Cerulean Gym is worthy of being known as the weakest Gym in the Kanto Region.
This can be seen from the rewards of system tasks.
I chose Misty's collection of photo albums. Since I don't know its artistic content or not the system won't mention it for now.
The completion reward for option 2 is just a medium-grade Water Stone.
It's probably 10 times more valuable than a low-level Water Stone about 100,000 Alliance coins.
It's pretty good though.
But compared with the top-grade Metal Coat as a reward for challenging the pewter Gym it's too shabby!!!
Is it because pewter Gym his is first win so the explosion rate is higher?
But the difference is not that big!
really!
Even the system looks down on Cerulean gyms.
Shivering!
When will be Cerulean Gym able to stand up?
.....
The closest road from pewter City to Cerulean City passes through Mt. Moon.
It's just that people have to work harder when crossing mountains and ridges.
In order to save time Ash and the other two decided after some discussion.
Decided to take a shortcut through Mt. Moon to Cerulean City.
The Pokémon encountered on the way both in quantity and quality were far inferior to those in Viridian Forest.
For Pikachu, Pidegeotto, and Gyarados, whose levels are not low now.
Fighting them adds little combat experience.
Pikachu and Pidegeotto are still stuck at lv31 and lv28.
Gyarados on the other hand has accumulated a lot of combat experience in previous gym challenges.
Coupled with the battle with wild Pokémon on the road the level was raised from lv24 to lv25.
Got stronger again.
"Misty Brock wait a moment."
Noticing that the pokeball belonging to the Metapod hanging on his waist was shaking slightly Ash called out to Misty and Brock.
"What's wrong, Ash?"
Brock tried his best to open his slit-like eyes wider and asked Ash.
"It should be that Ash's Metapod is about to evolve right?"
The attentive Misty saw the pokeball swinging gently on Ash's waist.
Catterpie has evolved into Metapod for some time.
Counting the days it should be within these few days that he will emerge from his cocoon and evolve into Butterfree.
"Metapod is actually going to evolve. Pokémon evolution is a rare spectacle!"
Brock's voice was a little higher.
"Yeah Misty is right Metapod is going to evolve."
Ash nodded reached for the pokeball from his waist and released the Metapod from it.
Metapod which had just come out of the pokeball jumped up and down came to Ash and rubbed his trouser legs.
Then he stayed aside quietly.
It's ready to evolve!
Not wanting to miss this scene Ash and Brock kept a distance that would not interfere with the Metapod and came forward to watch.
Even Misty who is afraid of bugs came over.
It's just that she pulled Ash's clothes and hid behind Ash.
It didn't take long for Metapod's solid shell to break open from the inside.
The brilliant light of evolution blooms along the opening.
Subsequently the entire shell of Metapod was broken open and the light of evolution slowly dissipated.
Butterfree flapped his wings and flew up to Soaring in the sky happily scattering scale powder.
Under the sunlight it looks like stars exceptionally beautiful.
Ash and the other two were fascinated by what they saw.
"Freeee~"
After flying in the air for a while Butterfree returned to Ash and told him his joy after evolving.
Ash talked quietly and from time to time chatted with Butterfree with gestures and guesses.
He even took this opportunity to release a few other Pokémon so that everyone could have a good chat.
Butterfree evolved into Metapod not long after being conquered by Ash when he was Catterpie.
After that he almost stayed in the pokeball and never came out.
They are not very familiar with the Pokémon that Ash captured later.
From now on we are all partners in the same team which can enhance our relationship It is always good to get to know each other better.
There's more to Breeding a Pokémon than just training and fighting.
If that were the case Pokémon wouldn't be called a companion.
Instead it's called a battle pet.
........
"Ash has a really good relationship with his Pokémon."
Brock looked at Ash and his team who were playing around and couldn't help but sigh.
"Well Ash loves Pokémon more than many people."
Misty agreed and then released her own Pokémon to join in the fun.
It is worth mentioning that after Butterfree evolves it is still a Bug Type Pokémon.
But Misty isn't afraid of it anymore.
After all it's not the Bug type Pokémon she was afraid of but the caterpillar ones.
In addition Ash's Gyarados has a gentle temper towards his companions.
It also made Misty's fear of Gyarados dissipate a lot.
Even Gyarados can be accepted by her.
Those ordinary Gyarados that are much smaller than shiny Gyarados and can even be described as petite and cute in front of this don't seem so scary anymore.
Stop the journey and wait for the evolution of Metapod.
In the end it was abruptly played into a party of three Pokémon.
It can be regarded as a spice during the somewhat boring journey these days.
After the party Ash and his party packed up their bags and set off Soon they arrived at the foot of Mt. Moon.
As soon as they got here they heard a scream.
Along with the screams there was also a system prompt in Ash's mind.
Ash was very happy after not receiving a system mission for a long time and felt that the speed of strengthening his strength had slowed down a lot.
