Chapter 375

It would loyally persist in everything that could make it stronger.

And because of this.

Ash would spend a lot of time every day giving Riolu special training.

Now.

Simple special training could no longer satisfy Riolu's normal needs.

So.

Ash let the Galarian Farfetch'd, which was also eager for victory, do battle training with Riolu.

But commanding two Pokémon to fight at the same time was indeed a bit like fighting oneself.

This made Ash feel a bit uncomfortable.

Just at this time, Chloe suggested that Ash help with special training.

Ash handed over the heavy responsibility of commanding Farfetch'd to Chloe.

Apparently, this was Chloe's first time doing this kind of Pokémon battle with Ash.

Nervousness was unavoidable.

"Fa... Farfetch'd! Use Fury Cutter!"

After being comforted by Ash, Chloe's emotions gradually eased from nervousness.

She immediately flashed the move list of Galarian Farfetch'd in her mind.

She immediately chose the move suitable for this scene.

And after getting Chloe's command, Farfetch'd immediately put down the leek it was carrying on its shoulder.

As a layer of white halo covered the leek.

Farfetch'd slashed towards Riolu at high speed.

"Riolu, use Force Palm to block it!"

Although Riolu was just a Pokémon that had hatched not long ago.

But in terms of the strength shown so far.

Farfetch'd was simply no match.

After two consecutive Vacuum Waves hit Farfetch'd, Farfetch'd naturally lost its ability to battle.

The training that day lasted until night with different Pokémon battles.

Pikachu, who had been by Ash's side, had already waited until it fell asleep.

Because of high-intensity exercise.

Ash seemed to have neglected Pikachu a bit.

【Bruno: Master Ash, I have arrived in Bai Yin Town. Where are you? Let's meet as master and apprentice!】

【Ash: Sorry about that, I returned to Pallet Town after the Bai Yin Assembly ended. You might have made a wasted trip. Also, I didn't agree to take you as an apprentice!】

【Bruno: It's okay, Master Ash! I will definitely make you feel my sincerity. You wait for me in Pallet Town; I'm going now!】

【Chloe: Ash seems to have neglected Pikachu. He didn't pay attention to Pikachu for a whole day. I think Pikachu looks like it's jealous.】

【Misty: It seems so. I haven't seen Ash so obsessed with training a Pokémon. Could it be that Riolu really has some kind of magic?】

【Delia: No, the bond between Ash and Pikachu is different; that is a sincerity that no one and no Pokémon can replace.】

【Ash: Mom is right! I would absolutely never neglect Pikachu!】

【Conway: Perhaps it was because he was obsessed with training Pokémon that he didn't notice Pikachu. I feel Ash didn't do it on purpose either.】

【Paul: Heh, can't handle it already? If a Pokémon is jealous just because its trainer is training a new Pokémon, then such a Pokémon really hasn't figured out its own status.】

But Pikachu's appearance was really heartbreaking.

It was like the feeling of having a new pet at home and neglecting the old one.

Even Ash himself felt a bit guilty.

"Temporary neglect might be called an accident, but never neglect the needs of Pokémon; they are partners and family."

Brother Chi Hong said so.

Ash looked up in surprise.

Brother Brother Chi Hong didn't seem as unapproachable as the rumors said.

He seemed quite good at comforting people.

"I know, Brother Brother Chi Hong!"

……

In the footage——

After a day of training.

Ash started taking Riolu to crazily challenge Great Ball tier trainers.

After reaching Great Ball tier.

The speed of quickly improving the ranking was obviously much slower.

But the advantage was that Ash's strength was strong enough.

He could still maintain victory in battle.

Of course.

Ash sent out Riolu, Gengar, and Raboot, who had undergone special training during this period.

The newly caught Magikarp did not appear.

As for Magikarp, even if it was a boss, it was still a piece of trash if it hadn't evolved into Gyarados.

It was useless except for Splash.

The strength of trainers after reaching Great Ball tier had obviously improved.

Most of them had strength close to that of a Gym Leader.

Ash could easily solve such level trainers if he sent out Pikachu.

But this time he sent out the newly caught Pokémon.

The journey of battle was not that smooth.

Although the battle process was difficult.

But doing so could obviously allow the Pokémon, whose strength was not outstanding, to improve quickly.

And among all the Pokémon.

The best performers were naturally Riolu and Galarian Farfetch'd, who had high enthusiasm for battle.

Unlike Gengar and Dragonite, which were final-stage Pokémon.

The two Pokémon in the initial stage possessed infinite potential.

Even in battle, the two Pokémon successfully mastered the moves Ash taught them.

Riolu even learned the move Swords Dance, which could improve its own state, during the battle.

Farfetch'd was not to be outdone.

It successfully learned the high-level move Fury Cutter during the battle.

It's just that.

There was one figure that had always been neglected by Ash.

That was Pikachu, who had been following Ash as his first partner.

In recent battles.

Pikachu hadn't been able to appear.

On the field.

"Riolu! Vacuum Wave!"

Amidst Ash's excited shouting.

Riolu on the field successfully hit the opponent's Electabuzz with a Vacuum Wave to take the lead.

Successfully rose to 901st place in the Great Ball tier battle.

"Great! Riolu, our ranking has risen again!"

Excited Ash ran to the field and hugged Riolu in his arms.

And seeing such a scene, Pikachu's disappointed expression couldn't be hidden at all.

It walked cautiously to Ash's side and reached out its little hand to tug on Ash's pant leg.

However, Ash, immersed in victory, only noticed Pikachu at his feet after a long time. ===== CHAPTER 376 =====
