Chapter 15: Iron Cocoon, Pidgey Evolution!

Da You at home looked ashen-faced; he saw many people blaming him, and crucially the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings also wanted to investigate him, wanting to vent anger for the abandoned Charmander.

"It's all the fault of those three meddlers; if it weren't for them, none of this would have happened!!!"

At this time, the friends who were with Da You also deeply resented Ash and his two friends.

It's because of Ash and his friends that they are being investigated, and with so much attention on this matter, they probably won't fare well.

Bai Shijie—

Ash and his friends captured Charmander, then continued toward Withered Leaf City, where they encountered another trap—this time not set by Team Rocket but by the Squirtle Squad.

After some twists, Ash and his friends learned that the Squirtle Squad were abandoned Pokémon by humans, deliberately coming to play pranks as revenge.

Again, it was Team Rocket's mischief; Ash and his friends teamed up with the Squirtle Squad to put out a fire in the forest.

The Squirtle wearing special glasses went traveling with Ash, while the other Squirtles were gathered by Miss Jun Sha into the Squirtle Fire Squad.

Again, abandoned Pokémon by trainers......

The audience fell into a silence.

After a long while, Professor Da Mu spoke first.

【Professor Da Mu: There are actually so many trainers who abandon Pokémon, and then those abandoned Pokémon lose trust in humans and even play pranks on them, making relations tense.】

【Professor Da Mu: I hope more trainers can be like Ash and his friends.】

【Xiba: It's a pity I didn't see those trainers who abandon Pokémon; otherwise I'd catch those guys.】

【Yulongdu: Fortunately those three Pokémon met Ash; I don't know if this counts as fate. Ash initially missed the starter Pokémon due to being late, but on the journey he captured the starter Pokémon.】

【Kenan: I've never seen a trainer capture the starter Pokémon so quickly, but Ash's starter Pokémon all willingly wanted to follow him, which is quite rare.】

【Brock: Kenan the Elite Four is right; it's because Ash selflessly devoted himself to Pokémon, moving the abandoned starter Pokémon, so all three now want to follow Ash.】

【Xiaoxia: So, strength isn't that important; as long as you love Pokémon enough, they'll repay you and strive harder—it's a mutual pursuit.】

【Yinghua: Xiaoxia is right!】

【Changpu: Xiaoxia is right!!】

【Mudan: Xiaoxia is right!!!】

Should we be this neat...... Xiaoxia glanced at her three older sisters.

"Xiaoxia, not bad, you have high awareness, able to say such words."

Xiaoxia ignored them and looked at the bullet comments.

Bulbasaur, Charmeleon, and Squirtle saw the Light Screen playing their meeting process with Ash; their eyes sparkled, they missed Ash deeply, and at that time they were moved by Ash and traveled together.

Whenever they thought of that time, the three of them felt nostalgic, nostalgic for playing together, huddling together to sleep at night, feeling safe and comfortable.

Na~

Roar~~

Squirtle~

Ash also missed them, and Pikachu also recalled those early travel companions; many funny things happened on the road, and the little gang played and roughhoused together.

After a few minutes, the Black Light Screen finally lit up.

Seeing this, everyone fell silent in unison, closely watching Black Satoshi, because the Ash in the White Light Curtain is the real-world Ash.

What is being shown has already happened and cannot be changed.

But the Black World is different; Black Satoshi's situation might change, but it's uncertain; they hope to treat abandoned Poké Balls better, at least punishing those who abandon Poké Balls.

Holding this thought, everyone looked at the black-surfacing image.

"Pika, Pika!"

Ash was doing push-ups with Pikachu, while Brock and Xiaoxia began preparing lunch.

Pidgey sped through the sky, while Iron Cocoon basked in the sun.

"Ash, you can have lunch now."

Xiaoxia called out.

"Okay, you go ahead and eat; I'll do another hundred push-ups."

Ash continued doing push-ups.

"Training doesn't need to be this harsh; we need work-rest balance."

Brock had finished lunch, saw Ash still training, and thought Ash was overdoing it.

"Ugh, Ash's training amount requires work-rest balance for us, but for him it's still not enough!"

Xiaoxia had followed Ash for a few days; his behavior had become routine for her—Ash is just that intense.

"Alright!"

Brock was greatly shocked, but upon thinking of Ash and Pikachu's terrifying strength, he gradually felt it was actually somewhat normal.

After finishing lunch, Iron Cocoon rubbed against Ash's pant leg and immediately began to evolve.

Iron Cocoon's shell cracked open, releasing a splendid evolution light from within.

Gradually, Butterfree emerged from the shell, and the light faded away.

Butterfree fluttered its wings, continuously flying around Ash.

"Butterfree!"

Ash happily looked at Butterfree.

Butterfree landed on Ash's hand, responding to him.

"Pika pika~"

Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulder, happily looking at this newly evolved partner.

Xiaoxia stood aside, quietly watching.

Ash took good care of the Iron Shell Pupa!

Brock saw Pikachu's affectionate actions toward Ash, which came entirely from the heart.

The newly evolved Butterfree was full of energy, flapping its wings and practicing flight speed with Pidgey.

A trainer who had just come out could actually take care of Poké Ball this well.

Brock now sees that Ash not only focuses on training, but he is also excellent with Poké Ball.

Taking good care of Poké Ball, constantly paying attention to its condition.

On the way to Mt. Moon, Pidgey battled the Poké Ball by the roadside and also evolved.

Sharp claws, hard beak, wide wings.

A pair of sharp eyes like glittering stars, perceiving everything around.

Metapod and Pidgey both evolved!
