Chapter 26

[Worried that the Krabby he caught with such hard work would be cooked into a hot pot by Professor Oak, Ash rushed to Bill's lighthouse in a hurry.]

Professor Oak: "Hey, Ash, am I such an unreliable person in your mind?"]

Ash: "That's right, Professor Oak."]

Professor Oak: "..."]

42: Misty and Brock join the team, Dark Ash's team is formed!]

While Ash and Professor Oak were "confronting," others were also chatting in the chat room.]

Lance: "I have to say, Ash still has two brushes. The attack speed and attack power of that Krabby are quite good, and Ash was able to subdue it."]

Bruno: "I said it earlier, Ash has the talent to become a martial artist. It's a pity that I don't take apprentices anymore; otherwise, I would have made Ash my apprentice. By the way, Bea, doesn't your dojo still lack people? You can let Ash try it."]

Ash: "I don't want to, I want to become a Pokémon Master, I have no interest in martial artists."]

Bea: "Hmph, arrogant boy, do you think becoming a martial artist is easy?"]

Bruno: "I'll say a fair word, with Ash's talent, if he focuses on martial arts training, he will definitely become an excellent martial artist within five years."]

Bea: "Which side are you on?"]

Bruno: "On the side of justice."]

[In Bill's lighthouse, through a video phone, Ash contacted Professor Oak and was relieved to ensure that Krabby was safe and sound.]

[Then they rescued Bill, who was trapped in the lighthouse, and under Bill's leadership, they saw a super huge Pokémon.]

[The only thing that made Ash and them feel sorry was that due to the thick fog on the sea and Team Rocket's trouble, they didn't see the true face of the super huge Pokémon.]

Bruno: "Ah, just a little bit, just a little bit!!! Damn it, these three guys from Team Rocket are really damn!"]

Lance: "Is that a Gigantamax Duraludon? It's too big!"]

Leon: "Dynamax and Gigantamax require special energy to add, and not all places can be Dynamaxed, even in the Galar region."]

Cynthia: "If it's not a Dynamax Pokémon, then what is this? Could it be Godzilla?"]

Steven: "Heh, let me tell you its true identity! Groudon, it's Groudon!"]

Wallace: "Don't say it, you really don't say it, this back view is somewhat similar to Groudon."]

Maxie: "Stop joking, I guarantee with my personality that it's definitely not Groudon!!!"]

Phoebe: "Personality, do you have that thing? Besides, you haven't seen Groudon, how do you know it's definitely not Groudon?"]

Maxie: "Hmph, I am the President of the Groudon Research Society, would I not recognize Groudon? What a joke. I can recognize Groudon with my eyes closed!"]

Norman: "It's really unlikely to be Groudon. If it were really Groudon, there's no reason for its fellow brother Kyogre not to appear."]

Steven: "Also right."]

In the process of everyone's discussion, the white-bordered screen gradually dimmed, replaced by the black-bordered screen slowly lighting up.]

[After getting the Boulder Badge, just as Ash was about to leave, Flint called him.]

["Wait a minute, boy."]

["?" Ash turned his head, looking at Flint suspiciously, not quite understanding what he meant.]

["Can you let my eldest son Brock travel with you?" Flint said a little embarrassedly, "I have always wanted Brock to inherit the Pewter Gym, but his strength has progressed more and more slowly in recent years."]

[The most important reason for Brock's strength progressing so slowly, in Flint's view, is being dragged down by the younger brothers and sisters at home.]

[Taking care of 9 younger brothers and sisters a day, he can't spare time to practice at all. It would be strange if he could become stronger.]

[Can't continue like this anymore; if this continues, Brock's talent will be buried.]

[For the future of his beloved eldest son, Flint threw away his old face and made a request to Ash.]

["Can I let Brock and I get along for a few days first?" Ash didn't stupidly agree to Flint's request directly.]

[Finding partners with the same aspirations is as important as finding a wife; Ash doesn't want to travel with strange people.]

["No problem, you will definitely 'fall in love' with Brock." Flint said confidently.]

Brock: "People compare to people, it's annoying. The father in the other world is much more reliable than the one in our world."]

Sigh, both are Brock's fathers, why does that one know how to consider for the child, but his father only cares about himself.]

For the sake of so-called dreams, he didn't go home for a year or two. If it weren't for him working desperately every day, his younger brothers and sisters wouldn't know how to live.]

Thinking about it, it's really sad.]

Flint: "I, I, I am not that unreliable, right?"]

Lola: "Heh, you are such an unreliable father!"]

Brock: "You have no right to speak, you are as unreliable as Dad!!!"]

[Flint was not wrong; after just two or three days of getting along, Ash "fell in love" with Brock.]

[Brock is not only superb in cooking, but also a good hand at taking care of Pokémon. More importantly, his temper is gentle, and Ash gets along with him very harmoniously.]

[Brock's joining instantly improved the dining level of Ash and his Pokémon. They finally don't have to chew dry food every day, and can taste fresh and delicious food.]

[When crossing Mt. Moon, although Ash and Brock met Clefairy and didn't see the super huge Moon Stone, their harvest was quite rich.]

[Brock caught a Zubat with good talent in a cave. Although Ash didn't catch a Zubat, he picked up many precious stones with Mew's help.]

[Wait until they get to Cerulean City, sell the stones in hand, and estimate that they can make a big profit.]

Steven: "Sell stones? What good stones, why sell them."]

The stones collected by Dark Ash are all top-grade; why sell such precious stones.]

Even if they want to sell, they should sell them to him!]

Wallace: "What to do if you don't sell stones? Like you, take the stones home and worship them as ancestors?"]

Steven: "You guy who doesn't understand art, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you."]

Wallace: "I don't understand art, you say I don't understand art?"]

Cynthia: "Don't argue, you are delaying us from watching the video!"]

[Cerulean City, when challenging the Cerulean Gym, Ash used fierce means to sweep the Cerulean sisters.]

[After winning the Gym challenge match, Ash, who was preparing to leave, was stopped by a girl wearing hot pants and short orange hair.]

["What's your name?" the girl asked aggressively.]

["Ash." Although he didn't know the girl's intention, Ash still obediently reported his name.]

["How old are you this year?" the girl continued to ask.]

[Is this checking the household registration? Ash complained in his heart. Complaining is complaining, Ash still said his age.]

["9 years old."]

["9 years old. What?! 9 years old!" The girl looked surprised.]

["Is it shocking? I was also startled when I first knew it." Brock said with a smile.]

["Ya ya ya, both are 9-year-old children, Ash is much more outstanding than our Misty." Daisy said with a smile.]

[Violet: "Yeah, yeah, Misty doesn't even have a starter Pokémon, but Ash is already a quite powerful Trainer."]

[Lily: "Misty, you have to work hard; otherwise, there is no way to become a powerful Trainer."]

["Do you guys have the qualification to say me?!" Misty roared.]

(There is one more update today, and the word count will be over 2500 words. Seeking flowers, seeking rating tickets, especially monthly tickets, please, please, please, please, please, please group!).

43: Charmander is about to be in hand? Punching Damian!]

[Under the repeated requests of Misty and her three sisters, Ash finally agreed to Misty's joining the team.]

[Here Ash wants to declare that he agreed to Misty joining the team, which has nothing to do with Misty being a cute girl and having three beautiful sisters. Well, it has nothing to do with it.]

[Unlike Brock's reluctance when leaving his family, Misty didn't show any reluctance when leaving her three sisters.]

[Reluctance? What is there to be reluctant about? She can't wait to leave these three harmful spirits! Hee hee, she is going out to adventure now, wait, wait for her to return from traveling, she will definitely revitalize the Cerulean Gym.]

[Since she wants to revitalize the Cerulean Gym, she definitely needs Pokémon. Misty immediately decided to take away the most talented Staryu in the Gym. This is actually for Staryu's good; staying in the Gym, it will only be corrupted by her three sisters, it's better to go out and adventure with her.]

["Wow, too amazing, Bellsprout is completely not Pidgeot's opponent!" the boy said admiringly.]

["The release speed of Razor Leaf is too slow, the accuracy of Stun Spore is too low. If you want to make your Bellsprout stronger, start special training in these two directions." Ash pointed out casually.]

["Thank you. By the way, do you want to challenge A.J. and see."]

["A.J.?"]

["Right, he built a personal Gym not far away, and has won 30 consecutive games so far. If it were you, maybe you could defeat him."]

["Okay, I'll go over and see."]

[Following the direction pointed by the boy and walking another three kilometers, Ash finally met the Trainer named A.J.]

[After learning that Ash was a challenger, A.J. readily agreed to Ash's battle request.]
