Chapter 158

Seeing that her daughter had integrated into Ash's team, Grace didn't stay in Kanto for too long. She started the teleporter again and returned to her home in Kalos.】

【By the beautiful stream, the Ash quartet was fishing.】

【"Why is Erika also fishing? Aren't you a Pokémon trainer specializing in Grass-type?"】

【Still not catching any fish, Misty chatted with Erika beside her.】

【"Didn't Misty also capture Pokémon of other attributes? Trainers specializing in one attribute also need to raise Pokémon of other attributes."】

【Just using Pokémon of a single attribute is easy to be targeted. Mature trainers will capture Pokémon of other attributes to perfect their team.】

【"And Misty, didn't you say you are a fishing expert? It's been several hours, why haven't you caught any fish yet?"】

【Pulled by Misty to fish early in the morning, but after fishing for several hours, she got nothing. Erika couldn't take it anymore.】

【"Maybe there are no Water-type Pokémon in this stream."】

【Anyway, Misty couldn't admit that her fishing skills were not good. Since her fishing skills were not a problem, then the only problem was this stream.】

【As soon as Misty's words came out, Ash had a fish bite the hook. The face-slapping came so fast that Misty was caught off guard.】

【"It's Totodile!"】

【No, Misty really couldn't hold it anymore. She just complained that there were no fish in this stream, and Ash directly caught a Totodile. Is this intentional? This is definitely intentional.】

【"Wani!"】

【"Wani!"】

【"Wani!"】

【Unlike ordinary wild Pokémon, this Totodile was very bold. After being caught on the shore, not only did it not have any intention of escaping, it started dancing on its own.】

【Facing this Pokémon that delivered itself to the door, Ash didn't mean to let it go. Chikorita attack.】

【Vine Whip, Razor Leaf, in a few moves, Totodile was taken down by Ash.】

【After capturing Totodile, Ash finally collected the starters of the Johto region.】

【"I also want a Totodile," looking at the Totodile captured by Ash, Misty showed an envious expression.】

【Erika spread her hands and complained, "There's no way, who told Misty your fishing skills to be not good. If your level were higher, then the person capturing Totodile now would be you."】

【Angry.】

【But what made Misty even angrier was that Erika told the whole truth.】

【Busy for a whole day, only Ash had a harvest, the other three were all empty-handed.】

【After leaving the fishing stream, Ash and the others met a tall girl by the suspension bridge.】

【Brock was fascinated by the girl instantly and rushed up to start showing love.】

【"Eh, Brock is at it again."】

【Misty was almost speechless. She just didn't pay attention for a few minutes, and Brock caused trouble for her again.】

【Fortunately, the girl didn't blame Brock for his rudeness and took the initiative to ask if Brock had any Fire-type Pokémon.】

【After learning that Brock had Fire-type Pokémon, Miki's eyes changed instantly, becoming sharp.】

【She said lightly: "Then I'll leave it to you."】

【Brock hadn't reacted to what was going on yet, Miki had already pulled away from him, and was holding a Poké Ball in her hand.】

【"The Pokémon used is one, come on, let's duel!"】

【No, this is completely different from what Brock thought.】

【He thought Miki had something important to entrust to him, it turned out to be a Pokémon duel.】

【The hot heart was instantly extinguished.】

【Miki didn't care about Brock's mood, she directly summoned her Pokémon, it was the Flying-type + Steel-type Skarmory.】

Phoebe: "Skarmory? Isn't the weakness of Steel-type Pokémon Fire-type Pokémon? Why does Miki specifically look for Fire-type trainers to battle?"】

Drake: "Same as Glacia, wanting to become stronger by challenging weaknesses."】

Glacia: "To tell you the truth, I came to Hoenn to train Ice-type Pokémon in this hot land, it's just a pity that most of the trainers I encountered here are weak."】

Glacia wasn't afraid of offending people, and directly said her inner thoughts.】

Steven: "... To tell you the truth, Hoenn is still very short of powerful Fire-type trainers. Especially after Mr. Flannery retired."】

Roxanne: "You saying this will make Flannery very sad."】

Flannery: "Mr. Steven is right, compared to my grandfather, I am still far behind."】

Flannery knew very well how many pounds she had. She could become the Lavaridge Gym Leader only because her grandfather was the previous Lavaridge Gym Leader. Her true strength was still far from being a qualified Gym Leader.】

Let alone comparing with old-school leaders, she couldn't even compare with peers like Roxanne and Brawly.】

【Brock's only Fire-type Pokémon was Vulpix, which entered the field.】

【Miki and Skarmory had very rich battle experience. They first used the raised yellow sand to block Brock and Vulpix's line of sight, and then dived from high altitude to surprise Vulpix.】

【Skarmory's advantage in high-altitude combat was too great, and its speed was faster than Vulpix.】

【"Steel Wing."】 【158-5

【Maggie seemed to have grown tired of the cat-and-mouse game and directly ordered her Skarmory to finish off Brock's Vulpix with Steel Wing.】

【The gap was too vast; whether in the trainer's commands or the Pokémon's levels, there was a significant disparity between the two sides.】

【Having lost the battle, Brock didn't dare to be presumptuous any longer. After recalling his fainted Vulpix, he silently retreated back into the group.】

【"Hey, do any of you have a Fire-type Pokémon?"】

【This battle hadn't satisfied Maggie and her Skarmory; she seemed to want to keep battling.】

【"Let me take over."】

【Ash slowly stepped out from the group.】

【After watching the battle between Maggie and Brock, his hands were itching for a fight too.】

【After getting Maggie's consent, Ash summoned his own Fire-type Pokémon.】

【"Cyndaquil, I choose you!"】

【Unlike Ash at all, his Cyndaquil was lazy all day long.】

【Just having popped out of its Poké Ball, the Cyndaquil was still yawning incessantly, seemingly not yet fully awake.】

【"Is Cyndaquil going to be okay?" Seeing Cyndaquil in this state, Misty inexplicably began to worry.】

【"Relax, relax. If you don't trust Cyndaquil, you should at least trust Ash. There won't be any problems." Erika had absolute confidence in Ash.】

【Although the battle started off a bit rocky, as it progressed, Cyndaquil's fighting spirit was slowly ignited.】

【When raging flames began to burn on Cyndaquil's back, Ash knew the time for a counterattack had arrived.】

【"Cyndaquil, Flamethrower!!!"】

【Maggie hadn't taken it seriously at first, letting the flames hit Skarmory. It wasn't her first time battling Fire-type Pokémon, and she had confidence in Skarmory's defense.】

【But this time, something was wrong. Skarmory's cries were exceptionally miserable, and after only a short while, she could even smell the scent of charred remains.】

【"Skarmory!"】

【Only then did Maggie realize that things had taken a turn for the worse.】

【"Don't give it a chance, Cyndaquil, Flame Wheel!"】

【Ash had no intention of being gentle. Seizing the opponent's opening, Cyndaquil took down the opponent in one go.】

【After winning the match, Cyndaquil was so excited that it evolved into Quilava.】

【"I lost," Maggie said dejectedly.】

【She had originally wanted to end her mountain training with a victory, but she hadn't expected to lose so miserably.】

141: The Charizard that returned from training in Charicific Valley! VS God!

【Seeing Maggie lose the match, Brock's heart became restless again. He had originally intended to go up and comfort Maggie properly, but who knew that Maggie didn't need his comfort at all.】

【She was much tougher than Brock had imagined. After agreeing with Ash to battle again next time, Maggie hurriedly took her Skarmory and headed down the mountain.】

【After Maggie left, Ash and his friends continued on their journey. As they traveled, they arrived in a dimly lit forest, where they met a man named Appie and a Noctowl with shimmering feathers.】

【It was a rare Shiny Pokémon, and Ash wouldn't let the chance slip by. Ultimately, with the help of Quilava, Ash successfully captured the beautiful Noctowl in the forest.】

After Ash successfully captured the Noctowl, the video with the black border slowly dimmed, and immediately after, the video with the white border lit up.

【On the way to the Goldenrod Gym, Ash was intercepted by Whitney.】

【The two began a six-on-six full Pokémon battle. After an arduous fight lasting over an hour, Ash finally succeeded in defeating Whitney with the help of Pikachu.】

【After the battle ended, the group took a short rest before continuing on their way. They planned to pass through the green meadow ahead and go to the Pokémon Center there to get a good rest.】

【But who would have thought that as soon as they stepped onto the green meadow, they witnessed an incredible scene: the entire meadow was beginning to crystallize, and it was spreading outward at an extremely rapid speed.】

Whitney: "What is happening?"
