For a Trainer who is traveling, it is necessary to have a Flying Pokémon.
Whether it is the air superiority and maneuverability in the air, or finding something to get a good view.
A Flying Pokémon, well worth getting.
Ash naturally wouldn't be polite to Pidegeotto, who had the potential to be an Elite.
"Pikachu, say hello to Rival, Thunderbolt!!"
Well, the first thing he did was to use a powerful skill like Thunderbolt, which was a great move.
"Pikachu!!"
The dazzling Spark went straight towards Pidegeotto in front~!
"Beep~!!"
Pidegeotto lived in this Evergreen Forest and had long developed an excellent sense of vigilance.
Being able to evolve from Pidgey to Pidegeotto shows that it has a strong sense of vigilance. After seeing Ash and Misty, its attention was vaguely focused on them.
But no matter how vigilant it was, it did not expect such a huge wave of electric current to rush towards it, which scared it.
Flutter~!!
Fortunately, Pidegeotto had been prepared. When the electric current struck, he quickly took off into the air and escaped, narrowly avoiding it.
"Did you manage to avoid this? You have good awareness~"
Ash's eyes brightened. "In that case, Pikachu, we shouldn't let him down. Let's concentrate and strike Thunderbolt with precision!!"
"Pika~Pika~chu!!"
The red air bags on his face puffed up, and instantly a powerful electric current burst out!
This time, Pidegeotto was not so lucky.
"Beep!!"
Thunderbolt hit accurately, and Saffron was wrapped in electric current, so that it could only scream, and then mosquito-repellent circles appeared on its eyes and it fell from the sky.
"Now!"
Ash twisted his hat, "Go, Pokémon ball!"
The Pokémon ball that had been prepared long ago flew out instantly and hit Pidegeotto's body.
whoosh~!
In an instant, Pidegeotto turned into a red light and was taken into the Pokémon ball~!
Ding~
Ding~
Buzz~!!
After shaking twice symbolically, the Pokémon ball stopped moving completely.
"Very good, I have conquered Pidegeotto!!"
"Pika~Pika!!"
With the classic pose, Ash got another new Pokémon and a smile was written all over his face.
"Today, this can be considered a good start."
He stepped forward and prepared to pick up the Pokémon ball. "I wonder if I'll encounter other good Pokémon?"
At this moment, just as Ash bent down and was about to pick up the Pokémon ball containing Pidegeotto.
Clang~!!
A sharp edge suddenly flashed in the jungle in front of him.
"Be careful, Ash!!"
Misty, who was behind, saw this scene and her face changed instantly. She quickly reminded him.
"I've been waiting for you to take action!!"
Ash, who was picking up Pokémon balls, suddenly had a gleam of light in his eyes.
"Secret Technique: Catch the Blade with Bare Hands!!"
Swoosh~!!
When the sharp edge was about to land in front of him, Ash suddenly stretched out his hands, merged the revealed blade into his hands, and clamped it in his hands.
Then~
Snap!
The muscles in his body bulged and he exerted force left and right. In just a moment, the broken wail resounded throughout the jungle.
Clang.
The samurai sword broke into two pieces and fell to the ground. The broken blade reflected Misty's worried face behind her.
And the dull face of the knife-wielding guy who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"My knife..."
He stared blankly at the broken samurai sword in his hand, unable to react for a moment.
But fortunately, someone will help him react.
A fist as big as a sandbag hit the dull face directly.
The intense pain brought the boy holding the knife back to reality.
Before he could even cry out in pain, fists rained down on him, and at the same time he heard the other party's words:
"You're suddenly committing a crime here with a knife. Are you a robber?!"
"In other words, why did you come out when I was getting the Pokémon ball instead of earlier? What's your intention?!"
"Could it be that they are the Pokémon hunters who specifically try to steal and rob Pokémon?!"
Ash responded with one punch after another, dealing a proper blow to the young man in front of him who was threatening people with a knife.
"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, I, I'm not, I, ah!!"
"What do you mean? You are holding such a dangerous samurai sword and lying in ambush in the bushes to attack a young boy like me. This is totally unethical!!"
"I think you have no good intentions at all!"
Ash didn't give him any chance to argue and just beat him to his heart's content.
Until later~
"Ash, I think that's enough..."
"Pikachu..."
Misty couldn't help but start persuading them, and even Pikachu nodded.
It's not that they don't think the other side shouldn't fight, but the way they fight is just too much for them to bear.
"Then I'll let you go this time."
Ash clapped his hands, looking relieved.
"Thank…thank you."
The young man in front of him had a bruised face and collapsed to the ground. His eyes were lifeless but he still said thank you.
"Who is he anyway? Why did he suddenly pull out a knife against you~?"
Misty was also confused as to how such a guy would suddenly appear.
"I guess he's just an ordinary bug-catching boy, right?"
Ash glanced at the insect net next to the scattered samurai armor.
