Chapter 55

【Ash grabbed Ma Jian's wandering hand and said coldly.】

【"I, I, I was just admiring this lady's beauty," Ma Jian argued.】

【Such an explanation couldn't "move" Ash. Ash's expression turned even colder, and the strength in his hand grew greater and greater.】

【"Let go, let go, I beg you, let go quickly, my hand is about to break!!!" Ma Jian wailed in pain.】

【"Today is just a lesson for you: don't go around touching girls," Ash said calmly as he threw his hand away.】

【"Misty, Brock, let's go." After teaching Ma Jian a lesson, Ash called Misty and Brock to prepare to leave.】

【"Wait a moment, beautiful lady, I really meant no harm. I just wanted to ask you to be my magic assistant." Ma Jian hadn't given up yet and was still trying to use Misty's sympathy.】

【Misty was kind, but she wasn't a fool. If it hadn't been for Ash just now, she would have been taken advantage of by this guy.】

【"Go to hell, you creep!!!" Her fiery temper flared up, and Misty gave Ma Jian a fierce kick to his crotch.】

【The family-ending kick.】

【I believe that after today's lesson, Ma Jian will never dare to lay a hand on young girls again.】

Erika: "Good, that's exactly what should be done. This Ma Jian has an evil heart; he deserves to suffer a bit."

Roxanne: "That's right, the actions of Dark Ash and the Misty from the other world are satisfying. The Ash and Misty in our world are still too kind."

Korrina: "You can't blame Ash entirely; it's just that this guy named Ma Jian is too good at disguising himself."

Kanto Town.

"Ash, did you hear that? You need to be more careful in the future and not get tricked by others again," Misty said earnestly.

"But wasn't it Misty who got tricked by Ma Jian first? If Misty hadn't been tricked by Ma Jian into being his magic assistant, the things that followed wouldn't have happened at all," Ash recalled the gist of the matter and said slowly.

Misty: "What are you saying?! That didn't happen at all! You remembered it wrong!!!"

Brock: "Alright, alright, stop arguing. Everyone just needs to be a bit more careful."

During the trio's conversation, the screen with the black border slowly dimmed, and the screen with the white border lit up.

The footage began to appear.

【Deep in the mountains, Ash and his friends met a girl named Cleo, who was having a little trouble. Cleo had always wanted her Paras to evolve into Parasect, but her Paras was exceptionally timid and couldn't engage in Pokémon battles at all, so evolution was a distant prospect.】

【To help Cleo, Ash thought of a good idea: throwing a match.】

【The Pokémon Ash sent out was Pikachu. The Oscar-winning actor Pikachu really tried its best; it only released a tiny, tiny bit of Electric-type energy, and Paras fell over.】

【There was no other way; Ash had to switch to Squirtle, but the result was no different.】

【Pikachu and Squirtle both failed, so Ash steeled his heart and sent out Charmeleon.】

【At this time, Charmeleon hadn't evolved for long, and Ash hadn't realized that the evolved Charmeleon no longer listened to his commands.】

【In the battle, Charmeleon didn't hold back at all. The intense flames completely crushed Cleo's Paras, and in the end, Paras ran away in a breakdown.】

【Just when everyone thought there was no hope for evolution, Team Rocket appeared. With Meowth's help, Paras successfully evolved into Parasect.】

【Meowth had originally wanted to use the favor of helping Paras evolve to stay and be a lucky cat for Cleo's family, but who could have expected that it would lose again this time, losing to Persian once more.】

Meowth: "Persian, Persian, why is it Persian again? Meow."

Persian had almost become a shadow in its heart. What exactly was it lacking compared to Persian!!!

Jessie: "You're lacking everything compared to Persian. Persian is handsome and can fight, but you can only eat."

James: "Don't think like that, Meowth still has merits."

Three minutes later.

James: "Sorry, I really can't think of what merits Meowth has."

Meowth: "Damn it!!!"

Ash: "Wuwuwu, it was from that day on that my cute and obedient Charmander never returned."

Charmander evolving into Charmeleon was definitely one of Ash's biggest nightmares.

What made Ash even more devastated was that only a few days after evolving into Charmeleon, it evolved into an even more disobedient Charizard.

Lance: "Sigh, Ash, training requires technique. Sometimes you also need to be a bit tougher. If you spoil your Pokémon too much, it will lead to situations like Charmeleon's."

Bruno: "Right. If you ask me, the first time you found out Charmeleon wasn't listening, you should have had a man-to-man duel with it, using your fists to let Charmeleon understand who the real tough guy is."

Ash: "But, but I can't beat Charmeleon."

Brawly: "Do you have some misunderstanding about your own strength?"

Can't beat Charmeleon? Don't make me laugh.

If it weren't for the fact that Charizard could fly, Brawly felt that Ash could even beat Charizard.

Bea: "If you really think you can't beat Charmeleon, then come to our dojo and train for a month; I guarantee you'll be reborn."

Ash: "No, Pokémon are meant to be cherished, not to be beaten."

Bruno: "You kid, you really are stubborn."

【After helping Cleo solve her trouble, Ash and his friends arrived in a city that never sleeps. Because the people in the city were severely sleep-deprived, everyone's temper had become irritable.】

【To avoid conflicts with others in the city, Ash and his friends only rested for one night before leaving.】

【Not long after leaving the city that never sleeps, they encountered a Jigglypuff that couldn't sing.】

【To help Jigglypuff master the ability to sing, Ash and his group began special training for it.】

【At this point, Pandora's box was opened.】

【After achieving the great feat of putting an entire city of people to sleep, Jigglypuff left angrily; it was going to find a soulmate who could truly listen to its song to the end.】

【At Diglett's Cave, Ash and his friends met Gary again. Because they heard that someone had dug up rare fossils in Diglett's Cave, all the well-informed trainers came to Diglett's Cave to try their luck, and Gary was one of them.】

【After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Ash and his friends also joined the bustling mining business.】

【In the process of mining, they encountered Team Rocket. During the struggle with Team Rocket, Ash and Team Rocket fell into an underground valley together.】

【When luck comes, it's unstoppable. Ash didn't expect that this accident would allow him to see the legendary rare fossil Pokémon that were already extinct.】

【Kabuto, Kabutops, Omanyte, Omastar—except for not seeing Aerodactyl, all the other fossil Pokémon were there.】

【In the great battle with the fossil Pokémon, the coalition formed by Ash and Team Rocket retreated steadily. Just when Ash thought they were going to be finished off by Kabutops, Aerodactyl appeared.】

【During Aerodactyl's attack on Ash and the others, Ash's Charmeleon was knocked down in one move.】

【Aerodactyl flew out of the underground cave carrying Pikachu, Charmeleon, and Ash. Pikachu and Charmeleon were casually thrown to the ground by it, and only Ash was firmly grabbed in its claws.】

【Charmeleon woke up slowly at this time. It let out a roar at Aerodactyl, but who knew that Aerodactyl not only didn't care, but instead provoked Charmeleon.】

【How could the hot-tempered Charmeleon endure that? It evolved directly!】

Lance: "What the hell? It hasn't even been a few days since Ash's Charmander evolved into Charmeleon, right? It's evolving again?"

Bruno: "Now I finally understand why Ash's Charizard is a size smaller than a normal Charizard; it turns out it was caused by forced evolution."

Leon: "Multiple evolutions in a short period of time—this is not a good decision; it will greatly affect Charizard's future potential."

Ash: "Ah? Then what should I do, Mr. Leon?"

Ash was truly anxious now.

He didn't know that forced evolution would cause harm to Charizard; otherwise, he definitely would have stopped Charizard from evolving.

Misty: "How would you stop it? That guy wouldn't listen to you at all."

Ash: "Sigh, that's true too."

【Ash was finally saved; Jigglypuff, asked by Misty, used its song to hypnotize everyone and every Pokémon present.】

74: Tanking Venusaur's attack, Ash, are you an immortal?!

【However, it wasn't without regrets. Aerodactyl fell back into the cave and disappeared without a trace.】

【In the end, Ash and his friends, with their faces covered in graffiti and a Pokémon egg they had picked up, started a new journey.】

Diantha: "Um, Ash, do you know where that Jigglypuff is?"

Cynthia: "Why? You have your eye on Jigglypuff? That's right, that Jigglypuff is quite outstanding."

Diantha: "Hehehe, if I captured this Jigglypuff, who would be my opponent in the Championship match?"

A song that puts you to sleep 100% of the time—who can withstand that?

Moreover, this is different from Spore; the coverage area is super wide, and there's no way to dodge it.

Basically, once the song comes out, who can compete?

Wallace: "Your idea is good, but there is one problem: how do you ensure you don't fall asleep yourself?"

Diantha: "This..."

Wallace had stumped Diantha with this question.

Judging from the video, Jigglypuff's singing is indiscriminate, and the trainer is also within the range of Jigglypuff's "attack."

Diantha: "Um, let me think about it carefully; I will definitely find a way to solve it."
