Chapter 259

?

Everyone looked at him, wondering if he had come to pick a fight?

Perhaps because his strength had increased, he wasn't as nervous as Bai Shijie; hearing Xiaoshun's words, Misty didn't get angry or argue, she just said lightly, "You're right—the Contest tests the beauty of the moves."

Misty's fundamentals were still solid.

You're saying my hunting butterfly's move isn't beautiful enough?

Looks like you're not stupid.

Xiaoshun nodded, also praising himself: "Compared to the Poké Ball Contest champion, I'm still a bit lacking."

Remember, my name is Xiaoshun; I won't go easy on you in a match... even if you're a newcomer!

No need for Nervousness, just give it your all!

Misty replied.

Just like Ash, when I accepted his challenge, I also heard him say that; we both take matches very seriously.

Probably because I've been with Ash for so long, I've been subtly influenced bit by bit.

Brock watched silently from behind, while Xiaosheng muttered, looking at his older sister: "Sister, you must defeat that smug guy in the match!"

Xiaosheng's first impression of Xiaoshun was... this guy is so pretentious!!!

No need for Nervousness, just give it your all!

Noticing Misty was under pressure, Ash gave her some advice and continued to train her, seeing what could be improved.

It's not just about pursuing the strength of moves in battle; one must also pay attention to the beauty of the Poké Ball's moves.

During this period, besides Ash, Brock, and Misty training, the Team Rocket Trio also came to join the fun.

They didn't come to capture Pikachu; it was Wuzang Yao who challenged Misty.

They wanted to have a match with Misty using the rules of the Poké Ball Contest.

Wuzang's Poison Powder Moth and Misty's hunting butterfly.

Originally Misty lacked confidence in the second round, but after Wuzang came to challenge her, she gradually grasped the key points of the second round.

Gradually, the moves she and her hunting butterfly used became more and more beautiful.

Finally, she defeated Wuzang's Poison Powder Moth.

Thanks to the Team Rocket Trio for the experience!

Wuzang is a good person...... Misty thought, although Wuzang had done many bad things, today this matter was Wuzang helping her.

The Wuzang of the Black and White World was furious; obviously he had previously oppressed that little girl, but he didn't expect to be treated as an experience pack—truly hateful!!!

"Why can't I beat that little girl?"

Wuzang found it hard to accept.

Xiaocilang whispered, "She's been training with that little brat; only if she can beat him would there be a ghost!"

As soon as his words fell, Xiaocilang felt a dangerous aura, just like when the rice spoon snake attacked Wuzang's lovely hair earlier; the enraged Wuzang then revealed a terrifying aura.

Meow received the distress signal sent by Xiaocilang, but it ignored it and hurriedly fled to the side, lest it be caught up.

The training days weren't too dull; work and rest combined, the Poké Balls often played.

As for Poké Ball battle techniques, Ash is top-notch, but Misty is participating in the Poké Ball Contest, and Ash doesn't really understand those things, so his help to her is limited.

All we can do is have Misty practice battle techniques.

That day, Ash and his group were supposed to practice as usual, but they received a commission from Miss Joy.

They said they often saw them training Poké Balls, taking good care of them, so they asked them to help look after three starter Pokémon Poké Balls for a health check.

Because those three Poké Balls were obtained by newcomer trainers, they needed to be well taken care of before the newcomer trainers arrived.

This task naturally fell to Ash, since Miss Joy saw that the Poké Balls all liked Ash, being with him should be comfortable, and Ash looked steady, not youthfully exuberant.

Okay!

Ash agreed.

"Thanks, then I won't disturb you and your girlfriend's training."

Miss Joy saw the interaction between Ash and Misty, feeling it wasn't just ordinary friends; it seemed both had affection, and their feelings were gradually growing in daily life.

Ah!

Hearing that, Misty shot her head up, her face instantly turning crimson, as if lightly brushed by the evening glow: "We're not......"

Before she could finish explaining, Miss Joy left, knowing they hadn't pierced that layer yet.

Misty glanced at the astonished Ash; when Ash looked at her, she turned her head to look elsewhere.

Having her thoughts pointed out by Miss Joy, Misty's heart beat faster, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

Her cheeks burned, her hands unconsciously rubbed the hem of her clothes, trying to calm her inner turmoil; at the same time, a faint, indescribable joy welled up in her heart.

To hide her embarrassment, Misty touched her hot face, forced a smile, and told Ash, "I... I want to go train elsewhere; I'll leave this to you."

After speaking, she didn't wait for Ash's response, hurriedly turned and left, leaving a thoughtful Ash behind.

Soon, only myself and the Poké Balls remained here.

Every time they stayed to train with him and Misty, Xiaosheng would wander around, while Brock still liked the older sister as always, chatting with Miss Joy.

Sniffle~

The three starter Pokémon left by Miss Joy were playing with their own Poké Balls.

Especially that Wood Guardian, seeing its own Wood Guardian so handsome, it adored it, its eyes only on it.

The water-leaping fish was similar; seeing Ash's water-leaping fish's training strength, it admired it, but lacking strength, it couldn't train together at all.

The situation with the fire chick was more troublesome; it didn't like staying in one place, constantly wanting to run off.

"Where do you want to run to?"

Ash looked at the restless fire chick, thinking how it differed from Misty's fire chick; normally fire chicks are well-behaved, just a bit gluttonous.

"Charmander!"

Charmander nodded towards another place, indicating it wanted to go play elsewhere; this place had gotten boring, it wasn't fun.

Meanwhile, the direction Charmander was looking at was where the Team Rocket Trio were; Ash wouldn't let Charmander go over there, although the Team Rocket Trio's target was Pikachu, they might end up snatching Charmander as well.

"Hehehe, you little brat, hurry up and hand over those three Pokémon."

The Team Rocket Trio saw that their secretly hidden spot had been discovered by Charmander, they were greatly startled; this Charmander was formidable, able to know their location even like this.

They decided to take Charmander away and train it well.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu's cheek pouches were charged and ready, two arcs of electricity dancing; as long as the Team Rocket Trio dared to make a move, it would unleash 100,000 Volts.

"Charmander!"

Charmander saw the Pokémon released by the Team Rocket Trio, it got excited and wanted to rush over to battle them.

"Hey, you wanna go?"

Ash blocked Charmander.

Charmander nodded.

Meowth glanced at Charmander, shook its head amusedly, and said disdainfully: "Leave that Charmander to me, you guys be careful, meow!"

Just a mere Charmander, the Team Rocket Trio didn't take it to heart—how much battle power could it have?

Although Meowth isn't strong, it's more than enough for Meowth to deal with a Charmander trying to pick a fight.

"Alright!"

Feeling Charmander's fierce fighting spirit, Ash didn't stop it, letting it battle Meowth.

After all, Meowth isn't strong in battle, so picking on it a bit is still doable.

Wood Guardian and Water Leap Fish went first, their respective opponents being Desert Nya and Spoon Snake.

The Team Rocket Trio hadn't really trained their Pokémon; against Wood Guardian, they defeated it in just a few moves.

The main event was the battle between Charmander and Meowth.

After watching the battles of Wood Guardian and Water Leap Fish, Charmander's gaze at Meowth became more fiery.

"Charmander!"

Charmander itself used Quick Attack and charged over.

Meowth sidestepped to dodge, still not wanting to attack Charmander; seeing Charmander charge again, it used its hand to push against Charmander's head, preventing it from continuing forward.

Charmander was still quite smart, directly using Ember on Meowth.

Meowth shouted, quickly backed away, rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames on its body.

Wuzang and Xiaocilang had expressionless faces; Meowth could see contempt in their eyes.

A Magikarp jumped up, it revealed its claws, and used Frantic Scratch on the charging Charmander.
