Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

Chapter 57 This is to help keep your body warm

"Poor Suicune, it has to be whipped like this by Mega Sceptile!"

With the power of Aura and the protection of Pikachu, Dawn gradually emerged from the low temperature, only to see Mega Sceptile whipping Suicune, which was bound by vines, with its dragon tail.

Such a pitiful scene stirred up the girl's compassion.

"There's nothing we can do about it! Although this guy was defeated by Mega Sceptile, his immense stamina prevented Suicune from completely losing his ability to fight!"

Watching Suicune being relentlessly lashed by the hardened plant and the dragon's tail, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

This mythical beast's stamina is truly remarkable; even after Suicune was beaten like that, it still had energy left.

As for why he knew, you could tell from Suijun's angry eyes.

"Woo~"

It's a divine beast, yet it not only lost but was also beaten up. It's a disgrace to the Water Elemental clan.

Its proud pride kept it conscious until it stared intently at the Mega Lizard King, whose lips were slightly upturned, as if trying to memorize its face.

"Cha~"

This sight instantly energized the Mega Lizard King.

I'll show you what glaring at me is like.

The dragon's tail lashed out even more fiercely, aiming specifically at Suicune's face. Such a violent side was too much for Hikari to bear watching.

"Well...this is..."

Just as the girl looked down, she discovered that her long, white legs had been trapped between a pair of strong thighs, and there was even a hand playing tricks on them.

"Ah~"

Suddenly, a powerful force pushed Xiao Zhi away. The girl crossed her arms and timidly asked, "You...when did you..."

"Cough cough!" Ash quickly put on a serious face, "Have you forgotten the blizzard just now? You passed out, and I used my Aura to keep you warm!"

A slight smile played on his lips; thanks to the girl's obliviousness, he had made another small profit.

"Hmm...it seems so!" The girl covered her chest with both hands, looking at Ash warily, while recalling what had happened before.

Because of the terrifyingly low temperature brought by the blizzard, I only vaguely remember being pulled over by Ash and held tightly, and then briefly losing consciousness due to the low temperature.

I woke up to see Suicune being hung up and beaten, and only then did I belatedly feel the sensation coming from my thigh.

"That's not right! How do you explain your actions just now?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhi asked, pretending to be confused even though he knew the answer.

"That's exactly it!"

Which one is it exactly?

"Hmph...I'm ignoring you!"

Seeing the smile on the other person's face, the girl realized that the other person was being unreasonable, and pretended to be angry and turned her head to the side.

But she was muttering to herself, "How can a girl like me bring up such a thing?"

"No, no, no!"

Having teased her enough, he went to the girl's side and straightened her delicate body.

"Speak!" the girl said, pouting, waiting for a reasonable explanation.

"I just saw you were awake, so I checked your body temperature to make sure it was normal. Well... I've checked your face and hands, but I haven't checked your exposed thighs yet!"

Without batting an eye, Xiao Zhi made up a completely serious story, and with nearly twenty years of experience in making up stories, he managed to forcefully provide a reasonable explanation.

"Hmm... I'll remember you this time!"

Although it sounded reasonable, she didn't believe the boy's nonsense, after all, he had a criminal record.

He could only utter this weak and unhelpful remark in frustration, glaring at the other person with dissatisfaction.

Ash didn't care; his gaze was fixed on Suicune, which was still being beaten up by Mega Sceptile.

Seeing that the other party was about to lose consciousness, he quickly signaled Mega Lizard King to stop.

"Cha~"

Knowing he wasn't needed anymore, the Mega Sceptile obediently leaned against the wall, holding a twig in its mouth and watching its trainer's performance.

I also took the opportunity to chat with my long-lost friend, Pikachu, about what's been going on lately.

"Sigh, this Master Ball is so precious!"

Seeing a Master Ball for 10,000 coins on the exchange panel, he decisively picked up a Super Ball for 50 coins.

As for why the price difference between the two is so large.

The system shop only added one sentence: "Pokémon that can be forcibly captured with a Master Ball." This sentence instantly convinced him.

On this point alone, he cannot refute it.

With the nearly ten thousand gold coins he had saved, he certainly wouldn't use Master Balls to capture this Net Beast; fifty-one Ultra Balls would suffice.

"Go away!"

Pretending to take a high-level ball out of his backpack, he smashed it hard against Suicune's head.

The dazed Suicune instantly transformed into a red light and was sucked into a Great Ball. After shaking a few times, it emerged from the Poké Ball again.

However, before Suicune could even rejoice, it spotted a high-grade ball, predominantly black with two gold edges, flying towards it.

And just like that, Suicune transformed into a red light again, leaping out a second later, followed by another Ultra Ball... transforming into a red light...

One, two, three... twenty.

Suijun: ...

Until the twenty-first one, Suicune looked at the trainer in front of her with a complicated expression, who exuded the aura of Lord Ho-Oh.

Is this really a human that Lord Ho-Oh approves of?

Why torture it like that? First it was hung up and beaten, and then, weakened, it was repeatedly tortured by Poké Balls. Didn't the other party know that this was exhausting?

Well then, Suijun looked thoughtfully into the distance.

Faced with Ash's twenty-first Ultra Ball, Suicune stopped resisting. This time, it flickered three times before the red light on the Ultra Ball dimmed.

"Great, we've finally captured Suicune!"

Pikachu, standing beside the Sceptile who had already de-evolved, and Dawn, who was beaming with joy, gestured towards it.

"Cha~"

"Pica~"

The Sceptile, chewing on a twig, calmly nodded, while Pikachu excitedly raised its finger in a victory pose.

"Yay! Congratulations, Ash!"

Even Hikari forgot what had just happened and raised his hand to strike Ash.

Dawn was overjoyed to have witnessed the legendary Pokémon being captured.

only……

"Ash, how can you be so patient? You've thrown so many Great Balls all over the ground!" Dawn sighed softly as she looked at the broken Poké Balls on the ground.

If it were her, she might give up because she lacks patience.

"not bad!"

He smiled nonchalantly. As a player of "Arceus Legend", he had wasted at least a hundred high-level balls in order to capture the three-clouded creature.

But he still hadn't managed to subdue them even after traveling through time, which made him so angry that he stopped playing.

He casually replied a few words, then walked over, picked up the Ultra Ball containing Suicune, praised Sceptile a few times before putting it away, and then left with the girl and Pikachu.

"Brother Ash, what are you doing here...?"

However, on their way back, they encountered Little Joey and Mai, who had arrived in a floating balloon.

They stared in disbelief at the two trainers who had vanished from the Pokémon Center.

However, before Ash and Dawn could answer, Nurse Joy suddenly sprang to her senses and immediately made the Float Balloon fly low forward.

"Satoshi, could Mai be...?" The clever Hikari immediately thought of a possibility and covered his mouth in surprise.

"Go back first!"

With a slight headache, he covered his forehead, temporarily ignoring Nurse Joy, and pulled Hikari back to the Pokémon Center.

"Wow……"

Accompanied by the floating balloons, Mai arrived at the cave and saw the mess left by various battle traces, as well as the remains of a high-level ball by the pool.

The clever Mai instantly understood what had happened, and any lingering hope she had was gone.

She burst into tears instantly.

Her best friend, Suicune, is gone!
