Chapter 39: Ash who sacrifices himself! This is the bond between me and Pokémon!

Seeing that their scheme succeeded, the Team Rocket trio was extremely excited.

It seems that this time they can not only capture this batch of Bulbasaur.

Maybe they can even capture the brat's Pikachu together.

Ash and Pikachu were both seriously injured.

At this time, Ash felt a bit regretful that he didn't bring some companions with him.

The rest of his Pokémon were all left in Professor Oak's backyard.

He only had one Pikachu in his hand!

"The victory this time will be taken by us, Team Rocket!"

After declaring their final victory, the Team Rocket trio ordered Gyarados and Tyranitar to launch an attack on Ash and Pikachu.

In so many years of fighting against Ash, the Team Rocket trio deeply understood one truth.

That is, they must finish them off!

At this moment, they were truly practicing the belief they had always held!

Giving will be rewarded.

The Bulbasaur that Ash tried his best to save were now responding to Ash with their own power.

The Ivysaur looked at each other; Ash was truly protecting them!

Naturally, they couldn't let Ash down either.

At this moment.

The Ivysaur protected the injured Ash and Pikachu in the middle, while absorbing sunlight through the organs on their backs.

At this moment, all the Ivysaur simultaneously launched Solar Beam, blocking the attacks of Gyarados and Tyranitar!

"Brat, this time you have no chance! Pikachu and the Bulbasaur will be taken by us, Team Rocket!"

"Gyarados, Tyranitar, use Hyper Beam!"

The Team Rocket trio was smug; in Ash and Pikachu's state.

They didn't know how they could lose!

Golden halos condensed in the mouths of the two Pokémon; the addition of the Ivysaur instead stimulated their ferocity!

After all, neither Gyarados nor Tyranitar are Pokémon with good tempers!

Power accumulated in their mouths; Koharu was suddenly shrouded in fear when she saw this scene!

Just like herself back then, powerless, facing that furious Nidoking.

Will someone come to save her this time?

Or will Ash also run away like Hao.

Feelings of panic and anxiety were spreading.

This group of Ivysaur was simply no match for Gyarados and Tyranitar, and Ash and Pikachu were also injured.

Koharu clenched her fists, but her legs were like they were filled with lead and couldn't move at all.

"Ash, run!"

"I will not run away."

Ash turned around and showed a brilliant smile to Koharu.

Immediately, Ash's expression tightened, and he turned the brim of the hat on his head to the back.

"Don't even think about succeeding; I will absolutely not let you hurt them!"

Ash's momentum was like a rainbow; at this moment, he was the Champion shining brightly under the sun!

"Thunderbolt!"

Ash reached out and pointed at Team Rocket in front.

The tacit understanding between Pikachu and Ash naturally goes without saying.

Gyarados and Tyranitar were not enough to put them in a desperate situation.

It's really... been a long time since I fought like this.

"Pika"

"Chu!"

The scene that followed made Koharu somewhat unable to believe it!

Clearly, Pikachu looked like he was at the end of his rope!

Why, after a bit of encouragement from Ash, did you return to your full-strength state!

Pikachu... you were acting just now, right!

【Misty: Why does it feel really familiar, just like when he first arrived in Johto, Pikachu seemed to be in this state too.】

【Jessie: Brat, you did it on purpose! You just wanted to see us make a fool of ourselves!】

【James: Jessie is right! Truly devious!】

【Diantha: So talented! Pikachu, are you interested in developing in the entertainment industry? You would definitely become a world-class superstar like me!】

【Ash: Impossible, Pikachu was infected by our bond; he definitely wasn't acting.】

"Pika~"

Silver Town, Pikachu affectionately rubbed against Ash's cheek.

Damn it, so many years have passed, I didn't expect my acting skills to not improve.

And it was exposed in front of so many people!

How is he supposed to slack off in the future!

……

On the screen—

Pikachu went all out, electric light flashing all over his body.

Thunderbolt is Thunderbolt!

Not a single bit less!

The golden lightning shining out from Pikachu's body turned into a sharp sword!

Piercing straight towards the direction of Team Rocket.

Ash stood tall beside Pikachu.

He and Pikachu firmly protected the Bulbasaur, Venusaur, and Koharu behind them.

At this moment, tears wet Koharu's eye sockets.

Ash practiced what he preached; he kept his promise.

He would definitely not leave Koharu behind.

Koharu's broken childhood heart was repaired by Ash's actions at this moment.

Clearly also a human, yet willing to use his body to protect his companions, to protect her!

Clearly around the same age as her, yet Ash was like a giant, using his chest to protect everything.

Ash possesses the greatest character!

Something like Hao is not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Ash!

This is an insult to Ash!

"Ash, I'm starting to like you a little bit," Koharu murmured to herself.

Where was she afraid of Pokémon; she was afraid of scum like Hao!

That kind of scum who only puts companions in danger for his own selfish desires! ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
