Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

Split tiles!

Under the attack of this Fighting-type move, Infernape was knocked to the ground without any doubt, its eyes turning into mosquito coils.

"Infernape is unable to battle, Raichu wins!"

The match ended so quickly that Xiao Kui had no time to react and could only helplessly recall her Infernape, giving Ash a resentful look.

However, Ash was completely unconcerned about Himawari's gaze.

"Well done!"

Instead, he took out a medium-quality electric-attribute energy cube, patted the greedy Raichu, and praised it.

Then, he calmly took Raichu and prepared to watch Dawn's battle.

Compared to Ash and Brock, Dawn's battle seemed much more intense.

Since Hikaru's opponent is Kaohira, judging from the doubles match in Yosuga City, it's clear that this is no easy opponent.

In terms of both tactics and strength, Kaoping's level is not low.

As for Ash's previous strategy of using Poison + Shrink to defeat Dawn, it failed because Pokémon is also a Poison-type Pokémon.

That's why Xiao Guang's Grimer had such a tough time fighting Ko Ping's Pokémon, with both Pokémon sustaining injuries.

However, compared to the others, Mud's injuries were much smaller.

Because the clever Hikari wasn't stubborn, even though the previous tactics failed, he knew how to use the shrinking skill to improve Grimer's evasion ability.

This gives them a significant advantage in skill-based battles with the furry creature.

"Fluffy ball, illusion ray!"

Under Kaoping's command, a seven-colored ray of light shot out from the compound eyes of the hairball, aiming directly at the location of the stinky mud.

"Shrink!"

However, this attack was easily dodged by Mud's shrinking ability once again.

"That's a really troublesome move!"

Seeing the familiar moves, Kaoping adjusted his glasses with a headache to show his inner pain.

Despite the furball's best efforts to attack Grimer, the accuracy of its attacks became a major problem when Grimer shrank.

Nearly half of his skills were dodged by his opponent, which reduced his chances of winning to the bare minimum, a result that was hard for him to accept.

"Alright, Muddy, it's our turn to counterattack! Use Mud Shot!" Xiao Guang commanded happily as he saw the fluff ball's attack miss once again.

"Woo~"

The stinky mud saws out yellowish-brown energy in front of the body, turning into four or five mud clumps, which are then thrown at the exhausted furball.

As expected, Hikaru won the final result.

With this, Ash's Red Team gained another point.

"Great! I told you it would be fine!"

Hikari excitedly approached Satoshi, uttered his familiar catchphrase, and happily gave a thumbs-up.

To this, Xiao Zhi could only patiently respond with a smile.

Chapter 170 A Pleasant Lakeside Sketching Trip with Xiaoguang

After winning the group competition yesterday, all the students were free to do as they pleased under the doctor's arrangement, and soon it was the third day of the summer lecture.

This morning's lesson consisted of a full-day theory class, but most students listened attentively to this type of course.

After all, it's knowledge related to Pokémon, which is of great help to Ash.

This included methods for raising Magikarp and Feebas, as well as the love-hate relationship between Pidgey and the Spearow family, which greatly benefited Ash.

Unfortunately, the science-related courses only lasted for one morning, and they had to have lunch again.

Fortunately, Kojiro and Meowth were good cooks, and the rose-flavored dish quickly calmed Ash's heart.

After lunch and a short rest, the three of them soon began their afternoon lesson—a field trip in the wild.

Observe Pokémon in the lakes and rivers near the training base and write a research report, which is roughly equivalent to a review.

Led by the doctor and his assistant, they soon arrived at a lake with rippling water.

"Everyone, this is the venue where you will be completing your reports! You may begin your observations immediately!" Upon arriving at the destination, Dr. Yamanashi gestured to the students.

"In addition, everyone should pay attention to safety and not stray too far from here!" the doctor's assistant added.

"Yes~"

After everyone responded in unison, the crowd dispersed and began collecting their own material.

"Wow, the environment here is really nice, perfect for relaxing!" After the group dispersed, Xiao Guang soon arrived at the lakeside and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the surrounding scenery.

Thanks to the beautiful environment of the fairy world, the entire lake and stream are crystal clear, displaying a watery blue hue. The surrounding area is also adorned with lush flowers, trees, and shrubs due to the abundant water supply, making it a feast for the eyes.

"Indeed, there are quite a few Water-type Pokémon here, which shows that the environment here is really good!"

Brock keenly observed the Pokémon present in and around the lake, noting not only a large number of Water-type Pokémon but also quite a few Grass-type Pokémon.

"There seem to be quite a few varieties!"

Ash glanced around and immediately spotted Goldeen from Kanto, Marill, Woop from Johto, Corsola, Pepe from Hoenn, and others.

Adding in native Sinnoh Pokémon like Raccoonia, the sheer variety of species is evident.

Seeing so many familiar faces, he felt a sense of joy welling up inside him.

After all, coming to the Pokémon world and seeing all sorts of Pokémon was one of his pursuits.

"Ash, Brock, there's a boat here! Shall we take this boat and observe the Pokémon on the lake?"

As Xiao Zhi was reflecting on this, they arrived at the lakeside.

Xiao Guang suddenly noticed a small boat not far away and immediately called to the two of them, preparing to take the boat and row on the lake.

"coming!"

Upon seeing Dawn waving, Ash immediately snapped out of his daze and walked towards her.

When he walked to the small boat where Xiao Guang was, he turned around and found Xiao Gang still standing there with a meaningful smile on his face.

Then, ignoring their gazes, he walked off in the opposite direction on his own.

Ash turned to look at Dawn, their eyes meeting in a single glance. The clever girl realized Brock's intention, and a blush crept onto her face.

The scenery before him brought a faint smile to Xiaozhi's lips.

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu, feeling like a third wheel, rolled its eyes helplessly, but dared not disturb the atmosphere. It could only quietly perch on Ash's shoulder to minimize its presence.

"Let's get on the boat quickly!"

Seeing Hikari standing there shyly, Ash smiled slightly and then reminded her.

"Ok!"

Xiao Guang responded in a voice barely audible and obediently followed behind Xiao Zhi.

Both boarded the small boat, which resembled an lanternfish, and swam quietly on the clear lake.

At first, because of the rare time he had alone, Xiao Guang was quite shy and did almost no work.

But with Ash's guidance, Dawn gradually opened up and chatted happily, whispering secrets to each other.

However, during this time, did they forget about their important business?

On the shore of this lake, the two observed each other's water-type Pokémon.

In the middle of the lake, there are even more Water-type Pokémon, swimming leisurely in the center of the lake.

It features creatures such as goldfish, black seahorse, and sun coral.

"So many Water-type Pokémon!" Dawn swayed left and right, admiring the Pokémon around her. "There are so many, I can hardly take them all in!"

"Yeah! Lots of familiar faces!"

Ash couldn't help but marvel at how many more Pokémon there were than on the shore, and he even spotted Ice-type Pokémon like Dewl and Cloyster.

With such a large number of Pokémon, Ash and Dawn were momentarily overwhelmed with choices, unsure which Pokémon to observe for their research report.

While Satoshi was troubled, Hikari quickly identified a target and made a decision.

"Okay, Sakura Fish, it's your choice!"

Xiao Guang, holding the Pokédex, recognized the pink, eel-shaped Pokémon—Sakura.

It was a very beautiful creature, and its pink color quickly won Xiao Guang's heart. She immediately took out her drawing board and began to copy the cherry blossom fish.

"In that case, I'll choose the Spiny Clam!"

After much deliberation, Ash turned his attention to Cloyster, which was known as the "Dragon Slayer" and had a blue shell.

As a Kanto Pokémon, Ash should prioritize this one among Water-type Pokémon.

A guy who looks decent, but whose strength gradually decreases with each version update.
