Chapter 42

Shinji: "Hitmonchan and I aren't that bad, right?"

Bruno: "Whether you're bad or not, just keep watching."

[On the ring.]

["Boy, your Lucario has a lot of talent for fighting. If you are willing to hand him over to me to take care of, I guarantee I will take him to win countless championship belts." Before the battle started, "783" Shinji suddenly said to Ash.]

["Championships like the P1 Grand Prix?" Ash frowned.]

["That's right." Shinji nodded, "Believe me, under my cultivation, your Lucario will become the King of Fighting!!!"]

[Shinji originally thought his speech would make Ash and his Lucario excited, but who knew the scene he imagined didn't appear at all. Ash instead looked at him with the eyes of an idiot.]

["Is there any problem with that?" Was there a problem with his speech?]

["Uncle, if you want a Pokémon, just go catch one yourself. Asking others for a Pokémon is too lame." Ash said with disdain.]

Steven: "Good. Dark Ash said it well. I actually wanted to say it long ago—the behavior of asking others for a Pokémon is really too lame. If you want a Pokémon, just go catch one yourself."

Wallace: "So, Ash in our world is still too young, too simple, actually handing Primeape over to Shinji."

Shinji: "Don't slander me. I'm not coveting Ash's Pokémon; I just don't want to see Primeape's potential buried."

Coincidentally, the Shinji in the video said the same thing.

["Don't misunderstand, I'm not coveting your Lucario. I just don't want its talent to be buried."]

["Uncle, following you, Lucario's talent would be buried. The world in your eyes is too small. P1 Grand Prix? Even if you win more championships in this type of entertainment competition, so what? My and Lucario's goal is the stars and the sea." Ash retorted unceremoniously.]

["Stars and the sea?" Shinji was a bit confused.]

[Ash nodded, "That's right. My and Lucario's goal is to stand on the World Coronation Series, defeat the Champions of all regions, and become the world's strongest Pokémon Trainer."]

["This?" Shinji was shocked by Ash's ambition.]

[Compared to Ash's grand ambition, his goal was as small as an ant.]

[Ash also saw it. This uncle named Shinji is not a bad person, but his vision is too low. He kindly advised: "Uncle, having a dream is not a bad thing. But you have to weigh it between your dream and your family. You know, you are already an adult with a daughter."]

["Dad."]

[The call of his daughter Aimee came from under the ring. Looking at his daughter's concerned eyes, Shinji finally woke up.]

["Thank you for your teaching." Shinji bowed to Ash solemnly, "Let's have a battle without regrets!"]

Maylene: "Shinji didn't last ten seconds in the end."

Brawly: "That's nonsense. The two are not on the same level at all."

Shinji: "Ash! When you arrive at the Pokémon Center, I will teleport Primeape to you! Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you for Primeape."

Dark Ash's scolding not only woke up the Shinji in the video, but also woke up the Shinji in the real world.

Yes, Dark Ash was right. He was too obsessed with his dream. For his dream, he ignored his family; for his dream, he took Primeape away from Ash's side. He really was a bad person.

Ash: "Uncle, I have always believed in you. You are not a bad person. Primeape stay with you for now. When I need it, you can send it to me."

Shinji: "Ash."

It would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.

Many people in the chat room misunderstood him, thinking he was greedy for Ash's Primeape, but in reality, it wasn't like that. His original intention was really just to not let Primeape's talent be buried.

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Shinji: "Rest assured, I will install a Pokémon teleportation device at home tomorrow. As long as you want it, Ash, I will send Primeape to you immediately."

Ash: "Hmm, Uncle!"

Kalos region, Vaniville Town.

"Ash, really so gentle."

"Yes." This time Grace also agreed with Serena's view, "If Ash really took Primeape back immediately, Mr. Shinji would never be able to turn over again. Public opinion is very scary."

Hoenn region, Petalburg Gym.

"Ash is so kind."

If she went to the Sea Temple with Ash, she would definitely be treated gently too, right?

Max: "Sister, wake up, stop being a fan. Have you decided who to take to the Water Temple?"

May: "Hmph, anyway, it's impossible to take you."

Max: "Sister!"

Kanto town.

"Hmm, Mr. Shinji is a good person. It's not bad to foster Primeape with him." Misty also thinks Ash's approach this time is fine.

Taking Primeape back, Ash can't take care of it now. At that time, he could only send Primeape to Professor Oak's laboratory.

In that case, it's better to leave Primeape with Uncle Shinji.

With Uncle Shinji, he can also help train Primeape.

"I didn't think that much. I just think Uncle Shinji is a good person and shouldn't be speculated about like this by everyone."

That's right, this is Ash's truest thought in his heart.

"You guy."

Misty and Brock looked at each other and smiled.

This is the Ash they know.

The screen with the black border dimmed, and the screen with the white border lit up.

[After entrusting Primeape to Mr. Shinji to take care of, they arrived at a new city. Here they helped the power plant employees solve the Grimer problem, and Ash also caught a new Pokémon—Muk.]

[However, Muk was too smelly. Ash, who loves Pokémon, couldn't hold it either, so he eventually chose to teleport Muk to Professor Oak's laboratory.]

Lorelei: "Laugh to death, in the end, Professor Oak still carried everything."

Cynthia: "No way, sometimes such situations appear in the Professor's laboratory."

Professor Oak: "Haha, actually it's nothing. I'm already used to Muk's smell. Hey, wait, Muk, I'm still working, don't eat me!!!"

[After leaving Gringey City, Ash and the others arrived in the deep mountains near Fuchsia City. Here they met construction workers who came to the deep mountains to build a reservoir.]

[It's just that the construction workers are quite troubled now. Because of the Diglett's trouble, their project has not been able to be completed.]

[In order to drive away the Diglett, they issued a hero post, releasing a mission to crusade against Diglett to Trainers.]

[In the gathering place of Trainers, Ash even saw his rival Gary.]

[Gary didn't take Diglett seriously at first, thinking he could solve all the Diglett by himself, but the result surprised him. No matter how hard he tried, the Pokémon in the ball wouldn't come out to battle. Helplessly, Gary could only give up this commission.]

[Other Trainers also gave up the commission. After all, without Pokémon, they couldn't deal with the swarms of Diglett.]

[At night, Ash and the others, who were enjoying the hot springs, suddenly discovered that swarms of Diglett were running up the mountain. So they saw a shocking scene: the Diglett were planting trees in the night.]

[At this time, the reservoir staff also appeared.]

[He understood what was going on. If the reservoir were built, the entire forest would be washed away, and all the Pokémon in the forest would be homeless. Pokémon also know this, so even if the Trainer gives an order, they are unwilling to come out of the Poké Ball.]

Chairman Goodshow: "Humans always infringe on the homes of Pokémon for their own desires."

The biggest dream of Chairman Goodshow's life is for humans and Pokémon to live together in the world, so he has been working hard to maintain the balance between humans and Pokémon.

But he is not a god after all; there are always places he can't pay attention to.

Just Kanto, he couldn't do his best.

Lance: "Chairman, don't be discouraged, we will help you too."

Steven: "That's right, that's right. Let humans and Pokémon live beautifully in the world—this is not only your ideal, but also our ideal."

Cynthia: "So Chairman, let's work hard together!!"

Maxie: "Hmph, it's completely impossible for humans and Pokémon to coexist. I advise you to join my Groudon God Sect and work together for the future of humanity!"

Archie: "What are you talking about? Humans are the pests on Earth. Everyone should join my Kyogre God Sect, let Pokémon rule the world, and create a better world!"

Wallace: "You two lunatics, that's enough!!!"

[After leaving the forest, Ash and the others finally arrived at the Fuchsia Gym. After going through all kinds of dangers, Ash finally met the Fuchsia Gym Leader, Koga.]

[Venonat, Venomoth—after defeating Koga's two Pokémon, Ash successfully took down the Soul Badge.]

Lance: "Koga, your holding back is too serious!"

Venonat, Venomoth—it's a pity Koga could take them out.

Bruno: "That's right, that's right, are you worthy of your status as a Heavenly King candidate?!"

Lorelei: "This is Ash's sixth badge already; at least he has to show some real skills!"

Lorelei also couldn't watch it anymore.

Koga: "Hmph, you don't care about me."

He is the Fuchsia Gym Leader. Facing a challenger, he can fight however he wants.

So what if he holds back?

He is willing.
