On this day, the five-year-old Ash was walking in the forest behind Pallet Town. This forest was not a place that could be casually entered. It must be known that there were Pokémon in this forest. If a normal child were to enter and get attacked by a Pokémon, even if they didn't die, they would be seriously injured!
"According to the information I gathered a few years ago, most of the things in the Pokémon world are different from what I know. It seems like the real world and the fantasy world are quite different!"
In the back mountain of Pallet Town, Ash was analyzing the situation in this world while searching for something!
In these five years, Ash discovered that this world wasn't as beautiful as it was in the anime. Both Pokémon and humans could die. Only during battle would the intensity of the battle determine whether or not they had lost their ability to fight!
As for some organizations or criminals, during battle, they would be very cruel. If you weren't careful, you could die. Moreover, Ash also discovered that this world was ridiculously big. Compared to the original earth, it was at least ten times bigger. The number of humans and Pokémon was simply uncountable!
Luckily, this world's oceans and islands took up a large part of it. Therefore, in terms of environment, this world was quite perfect. The air quality was almost unpolluted!
This time, Ash came to Pallet Town's back mountain mainly to verify something. That was his own inner vision ability. Last night, Ash suddenly discovered that he could see through everything inside his body!
Organs, blood vessels, cells, bones, blood, and even meridians. It could be said to be perfect inner vision. However, when Ash used inner vision on others, he discovered that this ability didn't activate!
Therefore, Ash came to the back mountain mainly to see if his ability had any effect on Pokémon. Pallet Town was a peaceful and tranquil village. There was no need to doubt the preciousness of Pokémon!
However, in Pallet Town, it could be said that no one had a Pokémon. Even the weakest Magikarp didn't have one. It could be seen how rare they were!
Although weak Pokémon were easy to catch, they were also very dangerous. The physiques of the people in this world were very good. Even if they were hit by a hundred thousand volts of electricity, they would only faint for a while!
However, this was only an elemental attack. If they were hit by skills like [Tackle] or [Drill Peck], their bones would be broken in a matter of minutes. Moreover, Poké Balls were also very precious. Even if they were common goods, they would still cost 1000 Pokédollars each!
Therefore, a normal family wouldn't be able to tame a Pokémon unless it was a special case. For example, the Pokémon willingly followed them. However, this was still very rare. Moreover, raising a Pokémon Egg was not a small expense!
Fighting-type Pokémon were raised to earn money..........
But this also made Ash understand that this was a real world and not a beautiful 2-D world. Therefore, after knowing this, Ash put in a lot of effort to learn about this world!
Although Ash could go to Professor Oak's place to test his abilities, the distance was a bit far. After all, it would take more than an hour. Therefore, in order not to waste time, Ash decided to go to the back of the mountain to try his luck!
"Pi … Pichu!!!" Just as Ash was looking for Pokémon, a soft voice suddenly sounded. Hearing this voice, Ash quickly ran toward the direction of the voice!
After more than a minute, what entered his eyes was a black and yellow Pichu. On its cute face were two pink Electricity Storage Pouches. These were specially used by the Electric Mouse Pokémon to store electricity!
This Pichu was tightly held in place by a hunting trap. Its short black tail was already dripping with blood from the trap. Ash clenched his fists!
"Damn it, there's actually someone who dares to hunt Pokémon here. Looks like I'll have to ask Professor Oak to strengthen Pallet Town's defenses!" Looking at Pichu who was crying out in pain, Ash thought in exasperation.
"Pi … Pi … Pichu!" After the injured Pichu saw Ash, it looked at him with teary eyes, hoping that Ash could help it!
"Don't worry, I'll let you out right now!" Seeing Pichu's teary eyes, Ash said very gently. Perhaps Ash's voice calmed Pichu, because Pichu, who had been crying out in pain, quieted down!
After a lot of effort, Ash finally opened the hunting trap. The current Ash was only five years old, so he didn't have much strength. He had already used up most of his strength, but he still couldn't be at ease!
This was because Pichu's tail was bleeding quite a bit. If it wasn't treated immediately, it might really die. Moreover, Pichu was a small Pokémon, so it didn't have much health!
Ash hugged Pichu and ran all the way home. Not long after, his body was drenched in sweat. However, Ash didn't stop. Instead, he sped up. Seeing Ash's worried appearance, Pichu in his arms also tearfully rubbed against his chest!
"Mom, hurry up and take out the medicine box. I found an injured Pichu!" Ten minutes later, Ash rushed into the house and said to a beautiful woman who was sweeping the floor!
"Ash, why did you go to the back of the mountain again? What if you encountered some danger? You're too reckless!" Seeing Ash's dirty appearance and the injured Pichu in his arms, Delia said as she took out the medicine box.
After taking the medicine box, Ash first used alcohol to disinfect the wound on Pichu's tail. As a result, Pichu cried out in pain again. Ash and Delia looked worried!
After disinfecting the wound, Ash took out some medicine and applied it to the wound. Then, he used the Healing Bandage to perfectly wrap Pichu's wound. Seeing Ash's proficient look, Delia smiled gently!
In Delia's heart, Ash was her everything. Moreover, Ash's learning ability made her feel very proud. Ordinary children were still playing in the mud, but Ash had not only learned a lot about Pokémon but also about feeding and first aid!
It could be said that in the future, Ash was already ahead of most Pokémon trainers. After treating Pichu's wound, Pichu was so tired that he fell asleep. Ash then carried Pichu to his own room and placed Pichu on the bed!
