Chapter 381

But without exception, Riolu lost all of them.

Ash's ranking even dropped to the edge of relegation.

If he lost one more match, he would drop directly to the Poke Ball tier.

And in the process of Riolu battling Octillery.

Riolu lost again as expected; fortunately, Pikachu saved the day in time.

This allowed Ash's ranking not to fall to the Poke Ball tier.

This was also the reason why Ash decided to let Riolu and the others rest for a while.

Ash's tactics were fast attacks to begin with.

Facing the defensive counter-attack tactics of Bea's Grapploct, he was at a disadvantage.

This day.

Ash received a commission from Professor Cerise.

Asking him to investigate a traffic jam caused by a sandstorm.

It is said that a sandstorm was stirred up on the expressway in Vermilion City.

The tornado seriously affected the local traffic.

Facing the sudden commission.

Ash used the machine in the Cerise Laboratory to get two Poké Balls from Professor Oak.

And immediately took Chloe to the scene.

After Ash and Chloe arrived.

They realized the severity of the matter.

Due to the influence of the sandstorm, the vehicles on the entire road were blocked for a very long distance.

Seriously affecting the traffic in Vermilion City.

And.

After Ash learned about the incident from the people around him, he also became serious.

In their words, some people had already been attracted into the sandstorm by the sound.

The safety of those people is currently uncertain.

He couldn't destroy the tornado directly at the first moment.

So, Ash turned his head to look at Chloe, who was a bit nervous beside him.

He then said.

"I'm going into the sandstorm; are you coming with me?"

Facing this overwhelming tornado and the land gradually being swallowed by yellow sand.

Chloe's heart instinctively felt afraid.

But seeing Ash's eyes.

Chloe clenched her hands, and after cheering herself up, she decisively chose to follow Ash into the sandstorm.

"Of course I'm going together!"

Chloe answered with a firm gaze.

And after getting a positive answer.

Ash reached out and held Chloe's hand tightly.

Chloe's face flushed red instantly.

【Diantha: Chloe is really cute; every time she blushes, I can't help but want to pinch her.】

【Chloe: Champion Diantha! My face isn't dough~】

【Diantha: Yo~ the way you act spoiled is also so cute.】

【Elesa: Ash's charm is really getting stronger as he gets older. In the previous inventory, although Ash was also very bold, in terms of charm, he was still much worse than when he was slightly more mature. Now Ash can make Chloe infatuated with just a few words.】

【Chloe: I'm not!】

【Professor Cerise: Hey, my daughter. You didn't even notice that you could answer this question directly! My old father's heart is really too painful.】

At that time, Professor Cerise, who had just received his doctorate, was very sad.

His cute daughter was falling step by step in front of him.

And it was puppy love!

Although that was something that happened in the future, Professor Cerise still felt very painful.

Fortunately, Ash didn't have yellow hair.

Otherwise, Professor Cerise couldn't guarantee that he would really go to challenge Ash!

This is the dignity of an old father!

……

In the footage——

After Ash took Chloe's hand.

Ash didn't rush into the sandstorm.

He took out two Poké Balls from his pocket with his other hand.

Then threw them gently into the air.

After two red lights flashed.

Two figures, one big and one small, appeared in front of Ash.

After they appeared.

The wind and sand on the field actually became bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Pika Pika!"

At this time.

Pikachu on Ash's shoulder called out to the two figures in front.

And that huge body became stiff at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, the wind and sand returned to their previous state.

And after hearing Pikachu's voice.

That smaller but extremely round figure turned around.

The next second, it appeared on top of Ash's head.

"Gible! That hurts!"

Suddenly being backstabbed by his own Pokémon, Ash's facial features were a bit distorted from pain.

Gible's teeth were earth-shattering.

Almost anything could be bitten by it, and Gible had a very characteristic trait.

It only bites the head!

Even after so many years, this habit still hasn't changed!

"Ouch ouch ouch!"

Ash hurriedly let go, trying to use his hands and feet to take Gible off his head.

But no matter how many methods Ash tried, it was still ineffective.

Just at this moment.

The boss of Mt. Silver, the Tyranitar that had been specially trained by Red, reached out and poked Gible's belly.

This poke seemed to touch some switch!

The next moment.

Gible fell off Ash's head.

"Really, Gible, it's been so many years, can you change this habit? My head is super painful!"

Ash rubbed his somewhat sore head and said somewhat complainingly to Gible, who was greeting Chloe obediently on the ground.

Originally Chloe was still a bit nervous.

But after Gible's tossing around.

She relaxed completely.

She even had the leisure to interact with this cute Gible!

Only Tyranitar looked at Ash with some concern. ===== CHAPTER 382 =====
