Chapter 4: The First Partner, Pidgeot

"Pikachu, prepare for battle."

"Pica~"

Pikachu immediately jumped off the shoulder, landing steadily on all fours, with wisps of electric sparks emanating from its red cheeks.

"Cha~"

Upon seeing the enemy appear, the warlike Scyther couldn't wait to use Quick Attack to meet them.

The moment it set off, Scyther vanished from its spot, turning into a green afterimage as it flew towards Pikachu.

"Pica~"

Pikachu remained completely unfazed by the sudden appearance of Scyther.

At Ash's command, it used its lightning bolt-shaped tail as a spring to launch itself into the air, avoiding Scyther's Quick Attack.

"Now's the time, Steel Tail!"

Seizing the opportunity, Ash immediately sent Pikachu to launch a counterattack.

Meanwhile, Scyther was preparing to flap its wings and aim its scissors at Pikachu in the air.

But to everyone's surprise, a sharp steel tail slashed down like a heavy iron sword, leaving the Scyther, which was about to take off, completely bewildered.

Even though Scyther instinctively used its Phillips Scimitar to block Pikachu's Iron Tail, it still couldn't withstand the impact of freefall.

boom!

With a single strike, the flying mantis crashed to the ground, creating a large crater.

"just!"

This electric mouse is quite strong, unlike the weaklings in the forest.

Scyther struggled to its feet, its gaze fixed on the Pikachu that looked no different from a regular Pikachu, finding it hard to believe how powerful it was.

"Pikachu, thunder!"

Just as Scyther staggered to its feet, Ash commanded Pikachu to launch another attack as a finishing blow.

"Pikachu~ Pikachu~"

Pikachu suddenly charged up, and a golden lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking Scyther like a divine judgment.

"Cha~"

The next second, the Scyther, unable to dodge in time due to its injury, was electrocuted by the "thunder" and lay stiffly on the ground.

"Great opportunity! Go, Poké Ball!"

Seeing this, he quickly took out a classic red and white Poké Ball from his waist and threw it at the Scyther lying on the ground.

"boom!"

The Scyther, struck by the attack, transformed into a red light and was sucked into the Poké Ball. It then landed on the ground, swaying slightly, but soon calmed down, perhaps due to its serious injury.

Upon seeing this, Pikachu quickly ran over, holding the Poké Ball in both hands, and handed it to Ash.

"Thanks, Pikachu!"

He quickly squatted down, first stroking Pikachu's head, then taking the Poké Ball, holding it up, striking Ash's classic pose, and shouting:

"I caught Scyther!"

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu cooperated quite well, making a V sign.

"This seems a little awkward!"

After a while, he scratched his head somewhat shyly.

For an adult from another world to make such a childish move is really quite embarrassing.

"This will never happen again!"

Looking at Pikachu, who showed no signs of anything amiss, he silently muttered to himself.

He then released the Scyther, which he had just beaten into submission, to heal its wounds.

As for medicine, it naturally comes from the backpack system and can restore a Pokémon's HP, or life points.

In the real world, it also has the effect of quickly healing Pokémon from injuries, just like in the game.

A bottle isn't expensive; he had stockpiled quite a few medicines when he played with sword and shield in his previous life.

Although it doesn't have as many other items, it's enough for my Pokémon.

Perhaps for this reason, the healing potions sold in the backpack system are quite cheap, costing only 30 gold coins per bottle.

Having just defeated the Scyther, they received a full 500 coins.

Compared to the two, it's like a small fry compared to a big fish.

Of course, the reason for this price is mainly because Scyther is also quite powerful.

【Moves: Glare, Flash of Lightning, High-Speed ​​Movement, Consecutive Slashes, Wing Attack, Shadow Clone, Double Strike, Cleave, Cross Scissors, Charge, Stop When You've Hit】

[Strength: Elite]

The newly captured Scyther is quite powerful. Don't be fooled by its elite level; it's definitely a top performer in its class and not far from the next stage.

As for the 4V individual value, he thought it was not bad either.

After all, not every Pokémon has 6IVs.

Just like the Pokémon in his backyard, including Pikachu, only four of them have 6IVs.

That is, Pikachu, Charizard, Sceptile, and Snorlax.

Only 4 out of nearly 20 Pokémon appeared, which shows just how astonishing the ratio is.

It's worth noting that every Pokémon Ash encountered had pretty good IVs, but even so, he only had four Pokémon with perfect IVs.

Therefore, the IVs of Scyther with 4V are quite reasonable.

Moreover, its most important individual values, speed and attack, are both at max level, which is enough.

The only thing that bothered him was that the built-in appraisal skill in the backpack system wasn't very useful.

You can only view the information after you have captured a Pokémon.

This means that you still need to observe the Pokémon's form and appearance to judge the differences between individuals and catch higher-quality Pokémon.

He can also capture a large number of Pokémon at once, just like in a game.

The individual with the best value is selected using the backpack system's appraisal certificate.

But this is reality, and he can't be as ruthless as he is in a game.

Of course, these are all digressions.

After healing the Scyther, he recalled it into its Poké Ball and tucked it into his waistband.

He proceeded according to the forest where he had released the eagle, based on his memory.

When Ash released Pidgeot, he was on a trip to Chengdu.

Therefore, the release route is also in the Evergreen Forest near the Chengdu Alliance, which is located east of Kanto.

As he continued westward, he came to an area with rather dense trees.

After glancing around, I found that it matched the place where I had released the eagles in my memory.

He glanced at Pikachu on his shoulder, and with the Pikachu's affirmative look, he finally confirmed that this was the place.

Recalling the Pidgeot that had been almost forgotten for 20 years, he was finally able to go and bring it back.

Even though he is not the original Ash Ketchum, he still has to complete this task himself.

Stand quietly in place and enjoy the gentle breeze.

After a long pause, he took a deep breath and shouted into the forest, "Pidgeot, I've come to take you home!"

(After Pidgeot returns, they prepare to head to Sinnoh.)
