However, they showed no intention of continuing forward at this point.
Having walked for most of the day, all three were quite tired, and it was already close to noon, so they needed to eat to replenish their energy.
So they stayed in the city's nature park for a picnic.
They also released a bunch of Pokémon, including Scizor, Torkoal, and Staraptor.
Although Ash had already decided to send the three guys back, after placing them at the Veiled Gym, they are still by his side, enjoying a wonderful and leisurely time.
However, Scizor is not idle and continues to train stubbornly, also getting involved with Breatha and Chimchar.
Let's not even talk about Itachi; he's a warmonger by nature.
The Chimchar was simply tricked into going for training by Scizor.
After all, Scizor is four times weak to fire, so it wants to work on fire.
Then, by promising to enhance the power of his skills, he lured the little fire monkey over.
"Little Chimchar is really working hard; the flames on its tail are much stronger than before!" Xiao Guang praised Little Chimchar, not understanding why.
“It’s not necessarily a voluntary effort~” Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi, who was eating Xiao Gang’s special sandwich, paused and responded with a wry smile.
"However, judging from the condition of the little fire monkey's tail flame, it is very likely that it is close to evolving!"
"Wow, so fast?" Xiaoguang exclaimed in surprise.
Because Chimchar had only been in the team for a short time, compared to other Pokémon like Staraptor and Torkoal, it felt like Dawn had joined too quickly.
"Actually, it's not that fast~" Brock swallowed the sandwich he was chewing and added, "In Shinji's class, Chimchar underwent rigorous training."
“That’s right. It would be really strange if Chimchar still couldn’t evolve after all this time!” Ash nodded in agreement with Brock’s explanation.
Previously, when Shinji was with it, Chimchar might not have been able to evolve due to the internal injuries caused by the pressure on its body.
However, under the healing power of Tokiwa, all the hidden injuries accumulated in the body have been eliminated.
It hasn't evolved yet because he wants Chimchar to learn skills like Power Punch, Taunt, Nasty Plot, and Mischief that it can learn independently at this stage.
Skipping over that topic, Ash picked up another sandwich, ready to dig in.
"Gray~"
But at that moment, a series of sounds suddenly came from the sky, successfully attracting the attention of the three people.
"Those are Scorpions?" Xiao Gang exclaimed in surprise.
Turning my head, I found the sky above filled with a dense swarm of scorpions, which was quite unbelievable.
It's simply incredible to see large scorpion colonies in human settlements.
"And the Scorpio King~"
Ash glanced at the Pikachu on his shoulder and added warily.
Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang immediately noticed that at the very front of these scorpions was a scorpion king, which was predominantly black and somewhat similar to a scorpion.
The Scorpion King looked somewhat ferocious, and upon eyeing the food in their hands, it swooped straight down.
"Watch out!" Xiao Guang shouted nervously.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
Ash, who was prepared, immediately commanded Pikachu on his shoulder, and a golden electric current struck the charging Gliscor.
"Gray~"
Although it was an electric-attribute move, Scorpion King instinctively sensed that this move posed a threat to it.
Even though it was hard to believe, Scorpion King did not dare to be careless and used his scissors to block the 100,000 volts with his white-glowing pincers.
Meanwhile, prepare to ascend, away from the somewhat sinister Pikachu.
"Water jets!"
But Ash wouldn't let his opponent escape. Having received the command earlier, Breeze had already used its jet spray to rush towards Gliscor.
They successfully collided with the unsuspecting Scorpio King, causing him to fall from a low altitude.
"Freeze Ray~"
Finally, a blue ice ray was fired, hitting the Scorpion King, which was 4 times weak to ice, rendering it unable to stand up again.
But the matter is not completely resolved yet.
Because there was a large, dark swarm of scorpions above their heads.
"Gray~"
"Gray~"
……
After their leader was captured, the Scorpion Clan in mid-air became agitated, swooping down one after another to target Ash and his two companions.
"Everyone, fight on your own and take down all these guys!" Ash shouted, his eyes lighting up as he saw the swarm of grizzly creatures walking right into his trap.
Because these scorpions are practically walking experience packs and gold coins.
"Pikachu~"
Upon hearing this, Pikachu immediately reacted, unleashing a terrifying bolt of lightning from the red electric pouch beside its cheek, sweeping across a large area of Gliscor.
"Muk~"
The flying Starhawk followed closely behind, unleashing its ultimate move, Brave Bird Attack, and using its Sacrifice ability, rampaged through the swarm of Scorpions.
The fossil pterosaur, which could also fly, opened its massive jaws and unleashed its freezing teeth, devouring nearby scorpions one by one.
As for the remaining Pokémon, such as Pikachu, which cannot fly, they can only use their respective ranged skills to attack the opponent.
"Then I'll do it too!"
Seeing the chaotic scene, Hikari threw out Piplup, Curly Earring, and Patchles, who then joined the battle.
Seeing this, Xiao Gang also sent out the Bad Frog and the Nonsense Tree to fight back.
……
After about ten minutes of fighting, the ground was covered with a dense mass of scorpions, all exhausted along with their leader.
"Phew~ Finally, we've taken care of these guys!" Xiao Guang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah~"
With the help of a group of Pokémon, they successfully protected the food in their hands.
"Ash, watch out~" Just as Ash was feeling relieved, Brock's voice suddenly came.
"Gray-yo~"
Along with that came a sound that grew ever closer.
To Ash's bewildered gaze, a seemingly wise scorpion suddenly fell from the sky and aimed at Ash's head.
Chapter 138 Taming the Timid, Spoiled, and Adorable Scorpio
"Gliscor, the Flying Gliscor Pokémon, can fly using the membranes on its hands and feet, launching attacks from the air. It likes to aim for its prey's face~"
After dealing with the scorpion horde surrounding them, Xiao Guang took out his Pokédex and scanned the scorpions on the ground that exhibited unique behavior.
"Is this really a Scorpio? It seems a little different?" Xiao Guang looked at the Scorpio standing on the ground, blinking and sticking out its tongue in disbelief.
It's already absurd enough that this Scorpio fell from the sky for no reason, but to make matters worse, it also likes to act cute and charming, which is really hard for Xiao Guang to believe.
They were completely different from their kin who were lying on the ground.
“This is definitely Scorpio~” Brock glanced at the Scorpio standing in front of Ash and gave a somewhat subtle response.
He had a misconception that the Scorpio in front of him had a serious problem with his personality, which made him seem out of place with the Scorpio lying on the ground.
"Gray-yo~"
The creature that fell from the sky and hit Ash remained calmly standing in place, acting cute and charming while also noticing the sandwich next to Ash.
"Could this guy be..." Ash ate the sandwich in his hand to calm his nerves, while guessing the guy's true identity.
This familiar posture successfully reminded him of the timid but affectionate Scorpio.
The opponent's subsequent actions further solidified Ash's belief.
"Gray-yo~"
Just as Scorpion was looking around in fear at the powerful Pokémon like Scizor and Steelix, he suddenly noticed the sandwich in Ash's hand.
The hungry Scorpion suddenly stretched out its two pincers and snatched Ash's half-eaten sandwich.
And like swallowing a date whole, he threw it into his mouth and swallowed it without chewing, and then realized that many eyes were on him.
Scorpio winked and stuck out his tongue again, trying to get away with being cute and charming.
"You little rascal, you've got some nerve!" Xiao Zhi exclaimed in surprise.
He was absolutely certain that the Scorpio in front of him was definitely the timid and cowardly Scorpio.
He was timid, but because he was hungry, he dared to steal his things.
