Chapter 137

Black World——

Ash and his group leisurely walked through the lush forest, sunlight filtering through the dense canopy, scattering in dappled patches on the winding path.

As they went deeper, the view ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a tranquil, clear lake.

So they decided to rest here and have lunch, and maybe do some fishing.

This time, Ash personally took charge of the cooking.

All Poké Ball came out and surrounded Ash.

They also wanted to try cooking.

Ash thought he could let them help; Pikachu would use Iron Tail to cut the meat chunks, precisely slicing them into even small pieces, Bulbasaur gracefully extended its vine whip to lightly catch the flying meat chunks with skilled movements, and Charmander busily lit a fire on the side.

Chikorita lightly rotated the leaves on its head, sending Ash a refreshing breeze; the gentle motion was full of care and affection for Ash.

Squirtle slowly patrolled the surroundings, vigilantly observing all around, and also checking if any companions needed help.

Brock stood aside, quietly watching these warm scenes, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.

When he cooked himself, the Poké Ball hardly came to help, but when Ash cooked, they all came over to help, they all clung to Ash, wanting to share some of his burden.

Moreover, the Chikorita on Ash's shoulder had eyes only for Ash; if there was any rustle around, it would be alert, constantly watching Ash.

Xiaoxia, meanwhile, silently watched the interaction between Chikorita and Ash, a hint of jealousy flickering in her eyes.

It is so intimate with Ash, far surpassing herself.

【Lily：Bring Poké Ball together to make lunch, Black Satoshi's Poké Ball are all self-conscious, especially Chikorita, always clinging to Black Satoshi, looking at it, gazing intently at Black Satoshi.】

【Mudan：I didn't expect Xiaoxia's love rival to be a Poké Ball, really, why hasn't Black Xiaoxia taken the initiative yet.】

【Brock：I really envy the bond between Black Satoshi and Poké Ball; usually when I cook, there aren't that many Poké Ball coming to help.】

【Huazi：Not only that, Black Satoshi also learned to cook himself, and it tastes pretty good; seeing those Poké Ball eat a lot of the food Ash made, his skills are still not bad.】

Huazi felt envious, even overly envious; Black Satoshi is so sensible, she saw from the start when Black Satoshi went out traveling, in the morning he still made his own breakfast, learned from his Black World self, and while traveling he also learned many ways to make Poké Ball food.

【Musashi：If only that little brat could cook back then, maybe we could capture Totodile with good food, and we wouldn't have to suffer; not only did we fail to catch Totodile, but we also lost my beautiful hair and those rice balls.】

【Meowth：You think Totodile is stupid? Totodile is cheerful, loves to dance and is active; it's definitely not a fool, how could it be caught by just a meal.....】

Meowth said and said, then stopped speaking; it saw Totodile running toward Black Satoshi.

Ash had just finished cooking when he saw Totodile swimming over, humbly begging for food.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat with us?" Ash smiled at the Totodile slowly approaching, its eyes full of expectation and curiosity.

This Totodile is even more lively and cheerful than Xiaoxia's Totodile, and loves to dance.

"Wa-ni wa-ni!"

Totodile responded in a childish voice, meanwhile giggling and nodding its head, even bouncing a few times on the spot; the appearance was both adorable and full of spirit.

"Then let's eat together!"

After receiving permission, Totodile excitedly rushed ashore, looked around, then casually picked up a relatively clean plate with its small front paws, holding it carefully, its eyes fixed on the food in Ash's hand.

It's very different from fighting over food with Team Rocket in Bai Shijie.

Seeing its well-behaved yet slightly playful look, Ash liked it very much and also had the idea—he wanted to capture this energetic Totodile.

After finishing lunch, Ash told Totodile he wanted to capture it, and Totodile immediately agreed.

There's food to eat, and many companions to play with.

One must agree no matter what!

【Xiaosheng：Meowth spoke!】

【Ash：Team Rocket is talking, it's not that Totodile is stupid, you are.】

【Xiaocilang：Why is the Totodile in Black World so well-behaved? Shouldn't it have snatched food from those little brats and run away?】

【Xiangtai：You also haven't seen that the Poké Ball released by Black Satoshi and his group are all watching; would Totodile dare to move recklessly?】

【Misty：Makes sense, Totodile is much smarter than Team Rocket!】

【Team Rocket Trio：.......】

Since Black Xiaoxia's Totodile is female, it just happened to form a pair with Black Satoshi's Totodile, and Totodile also doesn't love everyone it sees like in Bai Shijie, so Ash's group had no interaction with Marill, and the Totodile only cared about playing with each other.

While walking on the road, Ash suddenly felt a strong surge and immediately ran over.

Xiaoxia and Brock followed up, wondering if something else had happened.

Not long after, Ash happened to see a person lying asleep on the ground, and in the tree there was an atypically colored owl.

"Just like Bagon's girlfriend, it's an atypically colored Poké Ball."

Ash's eyes lit up.

Moreover, he sensed the owl's psychic wave; he had only felt such oppressive psychic power from Natu before.

It seems the earlier surge was emitted by the owl.

After asking that person, he learned he had been hypnotized by the owl; although he was careful, he was still hypnotized by the owl, and in his battle of wits and courage with the owl, he always lost.

After Xiaoxia and the others stepped aside, Ash used Wave Guide to contend with the owl's psychic power.

He released an air current to blow at the owl.

"Yo-roo~"

The owl flew up and rushed straight at Ash.

"Thud!"

The owl struck the barrier in front of Ash and could not break through.

"What is that?"

The dazed old guy woke up, saw Ash battling the owl bare-handed, rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had just woken and seen wrong.

The owl pulled back, thinking about how to deal with Ash.

Soon, the owl flew at high speed to Ash's back and launched an attack.

But it was also useless; it was still seen through by Ash.

It saw blue light gathering on Ash's hand, gradually forming a small ball.

From that ball, it sensed danger.
