Chapter 155

【To be honest, Ash was a bit disappointed. He didn't expect that even after seeing Wobbuffet's potential, Ade still didn't let go of the idea of trading Wobbuffet.】

【Ade also noticed the change in Ash's expression. He quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, Ash, I don't want to trade Pokémon with you."】

【"Not wanting to trade Pokémon with me?" Ash was a bit confused.】

【Ade nodded forcefully to show his determination.】

【"I want to hand Wobbuffet over to you to take care of."】

【At this moment, Ade's expression was so firm.】

【He didn't suddenly get hot-headed, but really made a decision.】

【Everyone, including himself, didn't see Wobbuffet's talent. Only Ash discovered it.】

【Only by following Ash can Wobbuffet shine, instead of spending this life so plainly.】

【Although he always had the idea of trading Pokémon, Ade's love for Wobbuffet was not fake. He liked Wobbuffet, and naturally hoped that Wobbuffet could have a better life.】

【"But if this happens, won't Ade be unable to trade for the Pokémon he wants?" Misty spoke.】

【Ade shook his head and revealed a bright smile, "As long as Wobbuffet has a good life, there is no problem. Pokémon or something, I can capture them myself."】

【Ash finally accepted Wobbuffet. As for Ade, Ash didn't treat him badly either. Ash made a call to Professor Oak's laboratory and reserved a starter Pokémon for Ade at Professor Oak's place.】

【"Eh?"】

【Ade never expected that happiness would come so suddenly.】

【Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur—these are the starter Pokémon that the boys and girls of Kanto most want to get.】

【They may not be the strongest Pokémon in Kanto, but they are definitely the most suitable Pokémon for novice trainers.】

【Compared to Wobbuffet, which he didn't know how to raise at all, the starters were more suitable for Ade.】

Lance: "Black Ash's emotional intelligence is definitely nothing to say. Well done, didn't let Ade suffer a loss."

Lorelei: "What I want to know most now is to what extent Wobbuffet can grow in Black Ash's hands. Will it become a Champion-level Pokémon?"

Diantha: "Champion-level Wobbuffet, I have never seen it before."

Lucian: "That's natural. After all, even for Psychic-type users, Wobbuffet is a very difficult Pokémon to raise. Few trainers can understand how to raise Wobbuffet."

Actually, it's not just difficult to raise, it's also quite difficult in battle. After all, Wobbuffet has no active attack skills.】

Kanto Town.

"Hey, James, do you think I should also hand Wobbuffet over to someone suitable to raise."

Jessie suddenly spoke.】

"Jessie, are you crazy? That's what you traded for with Lickitung."

James was shocked.】

"Following us, is Wobbuffet too pitiful?"

If Wobbuffet didn't have talent, it wouldn't matter if it just messed around with them, but Wobbuffet has talent. Always following them is simply wasting its life.】

"How does Wobbuffet think, meow. Does Wobbuffet want to become a powerful Pokémon?"

"Wobbuffet."

Wanting to become a powerful Pokémon requires hard training. Wobbuffet saw how hard Black Ash's Pokémon trained every day.】

Hiss.】

Thinking that if it had to follow such training every day, it would rather die. It would rather mess around with Jessie, Meowth, and James.】

"Mess around? Hey, what are you talking about, meow!"

Meowth was angry. They were striving for the glorious Team Rocket cause, not messing around.】

【It had been several days since capturing Wobbuffet. In these few days, Wobbuffet had also become familiar with Ash and the others, no longer the restrained look when it first arrived.】

【"Then it's time for lunch, Wobbuffet."】

【Originally, they were preparing to enjoy lunch, but now there was a small accident. Misty's backpack was missing.】

【Footprints were left on the ground. It was wild Pokémon that stole Misty's backpack.】

【To get back Misty's backpack, after eating a simple lunch, Ash and the others set off.】

【Because of the footprints, Ash and the others easily found the culprit who stole things—a group of wild Houndour.】

【"Today I must teach them a good lesson and let them know that stealing is wrong."】

【Misty took out a Poké Ball with high fighting spirit, "Go, Starmie."】

【Traveling with Ash for half a year, Misty was no longer the same as she was that day. Although the opponent was numerous and quite tacit, Misty still relied on her rich battle experience to defeat the Houndour one by one.】

【"Alright, now should you return my backpack to me?"】

【Misty didn't want to kill the Houndour, just taught them a simple lesson.】

【But what Misty didn't expect was that the temper of this group of Houndour was unusually stubborn. They had been defeated once, but they still refused to yield. Under the leadership of the leading Houndour, they stood up again. At this moment, the Houndour's eyes were already red.】

【"What's the matter, in that case, don't blame me for being impolite."】

【She had already given them a chance, it was the Houndour who didn't cherish it.】

【"Starmie, Water Gun."】

【Starmie's target was the leader of the Houndour, catching the thief first catching the king.】

【Just as Starmie's Water Gun was about to hit the leading Houndour, a black shadow broke into the battlefield. It blocked the Water Gun for Houndour.】

【"Is it a companion of the Houndour?"】

【Misty originally thought she was facing all the members of the Houndour group, but didn't expect the other party to have a backup plan.】

【"Be careful, Misty, this is not a wild Pokémon."】

【The gap between wild Pokémon and trainer Pokémon is still very obvious. Ash recognized at a glance that this suddenly appearing Houndoom was not a wild Pokémon.】

【And this Houndoom's level was terrifyingly high.】

【For safety's sake, Ash quickly had Pikachu prepare for battle.】

【Just at this moment, a graceful mature woman slowly walked out from the depths of the forest. She was Houndoom's trainer.】

【The woman's face carried an apology, saying: "Sorry, I didn't mean to intervene in the battle between you and the Houndour."】

【She was just passing by by accident and couldn't help but take action when she saw the Houndour being bullied.】

【"Can you tell me why you attacked the Houndour?"】

【If it were just a simple capture, she wouldn't have taken action. It was mainly because the other party was aiming at the entire Houndour group that she couldn't hold back for a moment.】

【"This group of Houndour stole my backpack, and they refused to return it to me," Misty said angrily.】

【This backpack is of great significance to her, it's something she has been carrying with her since the beginning of her journey.】

【"Ah?"】

【Karen only then knew that she had misunderstood. She thought the boys and girls were looking for fun with the Houndour. Now it seems the party at fault is the Houndour.】

【Erika also recognized the trainer of Houndoom at this time, "Miss Karen, why are you here?"】

【A head of gray long hair, golden navel, white cropped pants, and those iconic golden high heels, if it's not Karen, who else could it be.】

【"It's Erika, long time no see."】

【Karen waved her hand and said hello.】

【"Wow, is that little handsome guy your little boyfriend?" Karen looked at Ash and suddenly spoke.】

【"Not yet," Erika answered a bit shyly.】

Jasmine: "Not yet? Erika, when did you become so tea-like? If you are, you are; if you aren't, you aren't. What do you mean by not yet? Could it be that you will be in a few days?"】

Erika: "Why not? With my charm, it won't be a problem to take down Black Ash in a few days."】

Karen: "Hahaha, rarely see Erika so aggressive. In my impression, Erika has always been a Yamato Nadeshiko-style girl."】

Diantha: "It won't work without aggressiveness. Black Ash is too popular. If she continues to maintain the Yamato Nadeshiko persona, Black Ash would have been snatched away by others long ago."】

Cynthia: "Heh, it's just a man, what's there to fight for."

Caitlin: "The confidence of an old woman is sufficient. Cynthia, if you were ten years younger, believe it or not, you would be crazier than Erika?"】

Malva: "I believe it, I believe it."】

Cynthia: "Are you two asking for a beating again?!"

【"Not yet? And never will be!" Misty couldn't hold back, directly speaking angrily.】

【"Hahaha, boy, what's your name? You are actually so popular."】

【Karen doesn't know Misty, but she is very familiar with Erika. Karen really wants to know who the sacred person is that can make Erika fight for him.】

【"I am a trainer from Pallet Town named Ash, and I am currently practicing in the Johto region."】

【For a powerful trainer, Ash still maintained enough respect, and he honestly made a self-introduction.】

【"Ash? You are Ash!"】

【During this period of time, Karen's ears were almost calloused. Chairman Goodshow, Lorelei, and Bruno would talk about how excellent the trainer named Ash from Pallet Town was in her ears.】
