Chapter 17: Heaven-Defying Reward! Pikachu

【Light Ball: Exclusive item for Pikachu. After use, it increases all of Pikachu's stats and doubles its electrical power!】

After Ash obtained the Light Ball.

The attributes of the Light Ball were also displayed on the light screen.

Upon seeing these heaven-defying attributes!

The hearts of the audience were almost entirely occupied by exclamation marks!

Is this really necessary? This is outrageous!

Doubling all the stats of a Pokémon is already outrageous enough.

Especially when you actually make an Electric-type Pokémon's power double as well!

This isn't just cheating; it's like having no restrictions at all!

As for Ash, the person who obtained the Light Ball.

His eyes, gazing at the Light Ball in his hand, were practically sparkling.

"Pikachu, come and try this Light Ball."

Ash beckoned to Pikachu, who was still perched on Misty's shoulder.

The rapport between the two went without saying.

Ash crouched halfway to the ground.

And Pikachu stood in front of him.

The livestream did not explain how to use the Light Ball.

Letting Pikachu make contact first was never a mistake.

Ash pinched the Light Ball with his index finger and thumb and placed it into Pikachu's small hands.

However, Pikachu's small hands grasped at nothing.

The moment the Light Ball touched Pikachu's body, it transformed into a cluster of golden light and merged into Pikachu's body.

In just an instant.

Countless sparks of electricity surged out from Pikachu's body.

"Pika Pika~"

The suddenly surging power also made Pikachu restless.

The current Pikachu was not yet the Pikachu that had challenged countless leagues and liked to reset itself to factory settings every time it arrived in a new place.

Pikachu also showed immense excitement for the new power it had acquired.

It was just that the suddenly increased electricity made it somewhat overloaded.

Something big is coming!

What to do with the excess electricity? Naturally, it had to be released!

Ash and the other two were still watching Pikachu expectantly, completely unaware of the impending danger.

Following Pikachu's exclamation.

Countless sparks of electricity surged out from its body.

Charcoal * 3!

Such a large commotion naturally attracted the others in the plaza.

After seeing this scene, the surrounding people scattered away from Ash and the other two.

Are they crazy?!

……

On the light screen.

After the rewards were distributed.

The livestream continued.

In the footage—

After leaving the Sakuragi Institute.

Ash ran wildly all the way toward the port of Vermilion City.

Koharu followed closely behind, and the two ran wildly like this.

Watching the figure of the other party walking further and further away.

Memories seemed to flash through Koharu's mind.

Clearly, the appearance of this boy named Ash was very familiar, yet she couldn't recall it no matter what.

After all, who could remember the lump of charcoal at their own doorstep?

The distance from the port of Vermilion City to the Sakuragi Institute was not far.

The two arrived at the port very quickly. ===== CHAPTER 18 =====
