"I'm very sorry..." Ash wanted to apologize to Janine, but Janine had already left, so he could only look at Aya.
"No, it's nothing, you don't need to apologize, she will be fine soon." Aya was worried about Janine's situation, shook her head slightly at Ash, said goodbye to Ash, and turned to chase Janine.
She worried about what would happen to Janine in this situation, after all, she was just a child under ten years old.
Ash and his two companions left the gym. Along the way, Ash seemed a little silent, and Brock and Misty also felt Ash's complicated mood now, so they didn't say anything.
"Brock, Misty, tell me, did I do something wrong just now?" After leaving the gymnasium and standing at the gate, Ash stopped suddenly, looked at the two people around him, and asked.
"If you mean that you didn't use your full strength in the battle just now, I think you did something wrong." Brock didn't answer, but Misty said to Ash first.
"That's right..." Brock obviously didn't expect Misty to say that, and after a slight pause, he said slowly.
Ash fell silent again, and Pikachu on his shoulder looked at Ash worriedly.
"Yeah... I did do something wrong..." After a while, Ash let out a breath slowly, with a smile on his face again, nodding his head to admit that he had indeed done something wrong just now.
He shouldn't have held back in the battle just now, such behavior will not only not make the opponent happy, but will make the opponent feel rage, and even hurt him even more!
And... During the battle, it is also a kind of respect for the other party to use all your strength to fight your rival.
And he, in the battle just now, obviously didn't respect Janine, so after the battle, Janine, who had already noticed Ash's behavior, was so unwilling.
He found that his mentality seemed to have changed dramatically since he didn't know when.
It may be because there are more experienced and strong people, or it may be the idea of becoming stronger urgently, but these are just excuses, which cannot explain his previous mentality, and there is indeed a problem.
What right does he have to look down on other trainers? Just because of Pikachu and Charizard?
"I'm sorry!" Ash looked at Brock and Misty and said seriously.
"The person you want to say sorry to is not us, but that little Janine just now." Misty looked very serious, she didn't want Ash to become an arrogant person, and she also maintained the humble and studious appearance in the past!
"I will, but not now..." Ash smiled slightly and walked forward, "Didn't she say that? She will appear in front of me again in the future, and when that time comes, I will sincerely apologize to her!"
Brock and Misty looked at each other, and they could hear that Ash was not trying to be perfunctory. After looking at each other and smiling, they followed Ash's footsteps, and they knew that Ash had transformed back!
"So, Professor Oak, I'll send Tauros back later, please take care of it!" In the Pokémon Center, Ash was talking to Professor Oak, and naturally wanted Wartortle to return to the team.
"No problem!" Professor Oak nodded slightly. "By the way, Aerodactyl lives well here. Although it doesn't get along with many Pokémon because of its personality, it has a very good relationship with Beedrill."
"Aerodactyl and Beedrill?" Ash was taken aback, not expecting Aerodactyl and Beedrill to be mixed together.
Although Ash currently has only three Pokémon stored in Professor Oak's lab, Beedrill, Aerodactyl and Wartortle, what kind of personality does Aerodactyl have? And its strength is much higher than that of Beedrill. According to its personality, it should look down on Beedrill.
"I'm also studying this, and it's really unexpected!" Professor Oak was obviously very interested in the relationship between the two, and was also in the process of observation and research.
After a while, Ash teleported Tauros to Professor Oak's Laboratory, and Professor Oak teleported Wartortle.
After chatting for a few more words, Ash hung up the phone. The main reason why he brought Wartortle back so quickly was that he was going to take a boat to Cinnabar Island.
The specialty of Cinnabar Gym is Fire Type. Before arriving at Cinnabar Island to challenge the Gym, he planned to conduct intensive training with Wartortle, with the goal of teaching it the move Hydro Pump.
Ash realized that his current mentality wasn't right, so he tried to change it as much as possible. No matter what kind of opponent he faced, he would fight with all his strength!
Water is the best type to counter Fire, so Wartortle would be his main force in the next gym battle.
Aerodactyl was, of course, the best choice, but it was too strong. Commanding it in battle wouldn't allow Ash to grow much.
Before becoming a strong enough trainer, Ash intended to follow the anime's plot, not the walking route, but the trainer's growth route.
Every time he went to a new region, he would capture the local Pokémon and gradually grow by continuously training and battling. Only in this way could he gain more battle experience. He couldn't improve his skills just by relying on powerful Pokémon.
After getting Wartortle back, Ash left the gym and went to the battlefield outside to check on Wartortle's progress. He found that Wartortle's growth hadn't fallen behind and even exceeded his expectations.
"Since this is the case, it is time to put learning Hydro Pump on the agenda." After observing Wartortle's battle with Haunter, Ash felt it was time for it to learn Hydro Pump.
Hydro Pump was a signature Water-type move. Although it took a long time to prepare, and there was a noticeable delay before launching the move, which made Hydro Pump easy for opponents to detect and avoid, it was also very powerful!
Using Hydro Pump at the right time could potentially end a battle, and facing the upcoming Cinnabar Gym, Hydro Pump was a move that Wartortle had to learn.
Ash had learned the teaching method for Hydro Pump from Professor Oak, so he wasn't worried.
"Starting tomorrow, Wartortle, let's start learning Hydro Pump!" Ash stopped the two Pokémon, and when they returned to his side, he squatted down and touched Wartortle's smooth head.
"Wartortle!" Wartortle's eyes lit up. As his companions continued to grow stronger, it was also eager to improve, and now, the opportunity had come!
