Ash couldn't imagine how Slowking could do it, but Bulbasaur finally evolved into his next form.
Now, in addition to Charizard who has stayed in the Charizard Valley to practice, the Three Kanto Royal Starters that Ash had previously caught have also completed the first stage of evolution.
In this way, Ash's five starters, except Charizard, have also completed their first stage of evolution.
Wartortle and Ivysaur, who have accumulated a lot of experience themselves, no longer suppress themselves, and believe that they will soon be able to evolve into their final stage.
There is no doubt about their bonding value with Ash. Once they complete the final evolution, they will definitely be able to complete the Bond Evolutions immediately!
"Who are you?"
After coming out of Bonitaville, Ash and his party set foot on the road to Ecruteak City again, but happened to hear a familiar voice.
"It's Gary's voice!"
Ash could never mishear his voice.
Then, they heard another familiar voice.
"Since you ask sincerely!"
"We will tell you out of mercy!"
. . . . . .
"Stop talking nonsense, do you think I'm an idiot like Ash?" Gary snorted, directly interrupting the Rockets trio's opening remarks.
"Wobbuffet~~~" The Poké Ball behind Jessie suddenly exploded. She actually caught a Wobbuffet? It seems that they did pass by a village called Wobbuffet on their way if he remembers correctly.
"Umbreon, Hidden Power!"
"Wobbuffet, use Counter!"
The battle between Gary and the Rocket trio was on the verge of breaking out. Wobbuffets Counter failed to deflect the special attack's Hidden Power, and Wobbuffet was knocked away.
Ash thought about it and found that his journey had been very quiet. It turned out that the Rockets trio hadn't jumped out for a long time.
Unexpectedly, they targeted Gary this time.
The most important thing is, that guy Gary actually called me a fool!
Ash rubbed Molly's head, left Misty and Brock, and jumped out with Pikachu, "Gary, who are you calling a fool!"
"Ash, I've noticed you for quite some time ago!" Gary was not surprised at all when he saw Ash.
On the contrary, the trio of Team Rocket were so excited to see Ash as if they were seeing their savior, "Brat, we finally found you!"
These words made Ash confused. What's going on?
"Ash, these three unlucky people followed you all the way from Kanto to the Johto Region. They lost you a while ago and happened to meet me. They thought we would meet in the future, so they followed me all the way." Gary told Ash exactly what happened.
"Little brat..." Meowth cried miserably, "You don't know this, but he took us to the police station several times!"
James and Jessie also cried hoarsely. It was obvious that they had been having a particularly miserable time, much worse than when they followed Ash and his party.
No wonder Team Rocket hasn't shown up for so long. It turns out that they were given to Officer Jenny by Gary many times as thanks.
"Why don't you just stay at Officer Jenny? It's nice there!" Ash really didn't know how to control this.
Speaking of which, I have to thank Gary for letting me be quiet for so long.
"How can that work? We still have our own dreams!" The Rockets trio suddenly spoke righteously.
"Come on, Gary and I are going to have a fight, you can fly away!" Ash shook his head, "Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu jumped up from Ash's shoulders, his Thunderbolt rushed down, and Team Rocket was knocked into the sky again by this familiar current.
But this time it was actually someone who shouted. . .
"What a happy feeling it is!"
It should be good to find the feeling they lost some time ago!
Ignoring them, Ash turned to look at Gary, "Gary, it looks like your Eevee has evolved!"
Before Luke traveled into Ash's body, after the Indigo League ended and he returned to Pallet Town, Gary had used Eevee to fight Pikachu and defeated him.
Later, they set out for the Johto Region, and he crossed over and took control of Ash's body. If it had been a little earlier, Ash would have been able to defeat that Eevee.
"Ash, let's save our battle for the Johto Silver Conference!" Gary took his Umbreon back and turned around to leave.
"This guy is so free and carefree!"
Ash shook his head and looked at Brock, Misty, and Molly who were catching up behind him, "Let's continue on the road!"
. . . . . . . . .
After getting on the road again, Ash and his party noticed that they had arrived at a valley with fresh air and pleasant scenery.
For Ash, this is another excellent training venue, and they soon discovered that they were not the only ones who chose to train here!
"What an amazing Ledian!" Misty couldn't help but praise as she watched a Ledian fly back and forth in the dense jungle with ease, avoiding all the trees.
As Ash said, Misty is not afraid of insect Pokémon like beetles and ladybugs.
The group of people followed the Ledian and soon came to the valley. A sudden gust of wind blew the Ledian backwards.
A light pink color flashed in Ash's eyes, and he used his Psychic to restrain it and help it stabilize its body.
"Pidegeotto, stop!"
Just hearing this sound, the wind in the valley stopped, and a boy ran over and rescued Ledian.
"Hello, are you okay? Is this Psychic?" The boy looked at Ash and asked curiously.
"That's right, Ash here is a Psychic!" Misty was not surprised by Ash's ability, but she even replied proudly about it like she too has it.
"I'm sorry, thankfully you are not injured!" An uncle came over with a Pidegeotto and a larger Ledian.
The strong wind just now was obviously a powerful Gust from Pidegeotto.
It seems that they are also doing special training to train Ledian to fly in strong winds. In fact, this is a common training for Flying type Pokémon. After all, flying is always accompanied by wind, and many moves of Flying types are also related to wind.
It turned out that the father and son are Forest Rangers on this mountain. Because strong winds often blow in the valley, Ledian needs to be trained to fly in strong winds.
Now that he knows this, how can Ash hold back? How could he miss such a good special training location?
"It's your turn to train, Noctowl!"
Ash asked Molly to follow Misty and Brock to the father and son's base for a short rest, while he took Pikachu to the depths of the valley, where a strong wind would blow soon.
"Gu?"
As soon as Noctowl came out, it was almost hit by the strong wind present in the valley. It was so frightened that it quickly flapped its wings and controlled its body not to get hit away.
"Noctowl, I only have you as a Flying type in my hand now, and I rely on your mobility a lot! The strong wind here is the best training ground. Try to take advantage of the wind. With your cleverness, you will be able to move much more quickly.!"
Ash's Noctowl has a Shiny color and a very high IQ. Now is a good opportunity to improve its combat effectiveness even more!
Noctowl: 150/225
