Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

And now, the Pidgeot is moving forward at an unparalleled speed.

Of course, it couldn't possibly be traveling at Mach 2.

After all, this speed is already twice the speed of sound. Even if the physical body of Super Paladin is strong, it cannot withstand it for a long time.

The biggest fear is motion sickness.

Even though its flight speed has decreased, it is still much faster than Charizard's.

About 20 minutes later, it successfully landed in the courtyard of the house.

Ash and Pikachu got off Pidgeot, fed it an Energy Cube to replenish its energy, and then put Pidgeot back into its Poké Ball.

After an unknown amount of time, it became night.

Because he was leaving for Sinnoh the next day, Hanako specially prepared a sumptuous dinner and invited Professor Oak and Tracey to her house for a meal.

Of course, Professor Oak's visit wasn't just for a free meal; he also reminded Ash that he could visit Professor Yamanashi in Sandstone Town, who could offer him considerable assistance.

After the meal, it was soon time for bed. At Hanako's urging, Ash took Pikachu to sleep, waiting for the next day to arrive.

…………

The next morning, Ash got up early, washed up and ate breakfast with Hanako's help, and put on the new clothes Hanako had just made to head to Sinnoh.

"Satoshi, you must take good care of yourself!" Looking at her son in his new clothes, Hanako gave him a pep talk, her voice tinged with reluctance.

"Mom, I will!" He nodded very seriously in response to Hanako's instructions.

"Pikachu, I'm entrusting Ash with your care!" Hanako smiled upon hearing this, then patted Pikachu on the elephant's shoulder and said jokingly.

"Pika pika~"

Pikachu patted its chest with its little paws, looking like it was all in my hands. Its adorable appearance made Hanako smile, and the sadness of parting was somewhat diluted by Pikachu.

"Mom, I'm ready to leave!"

Once everything was ready, Ash took Pikachu and left, gradually disappearing from Hanako's sight.

"Sinnoh Region, here I come!"

Chapter 6 Sinnoh, First Encounter with the Newcomer Dawn

The Sinnoh region is located northeast of Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn, relatively close to these three regions, but far from Unova, Kalos, and other areas.

To reach the Sinnoh region, Ash and Pikachu, just like in the original story, set off by ship and spent half a day arriving in Sinnoh.

At this moment, Ash took Pikachu off the boat, accompanied by a purple monkey that kept scratching its head. The monkey was Aipom, a rather mischievous Pokémon.

"You little rascal, you really were secretly following me!" He bent down and pointed at the grinning, long-tailed monster hand.

"Okay~"

Despite Ash's questioning, Aipom didn't seem to have any problem and maintained a happy smile.

Then it darted over to the other side of Ash's shoulder, stretched out its hand-like tail, took off the hat, and put it on its own head.

"Never mind, he's just a naughty little guy anyway. I have your Poké Ball too. Let's head to Sandstone Town to visit Professor Yamanashi first!"

After all, he had long remembered that the mischievous Aipom would secretly follow him, so he had asked Jian for Aipom's Poké Ball during dinner.

"Pica~"

Just as he rallied his spirits and prepared to take Pikachu and Aipom to the Yamanashi Research Institute.

A giant mechanical arm suddenly rushed in front of them, aiming at Pikachu on their shoulder.

"Pikachu, Steel Tail!"

Seeing that the mechanical arm was about to grab Pikachu, he quickly reacted.

Pikachu's serrated tail transformed into steel, knocking the mechanical arm away.

"As expected, the three of you are here too. You're really giving me a headache!"

Looking at the familiar Meow Meow hot air balloon in the sky, he was pleasantly surprised, but he couldn't help feeling a headache because of the sudden appearance of the enemy.

These three are Team Rocket, a bizarre trio from the anime, consisting of a man, a woman, and Meowth.

"Sonams~"

Oh, and there's also a Fruit God with an eccentric personality but immense power.

"Strange, why did our sneak attack fail?" Kojiro stood in the hot air balloon above, looking at the ineffective mechanical arm, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"It must be some trick the brat played!" Musashi shouted irrationally from the side.

"..."

Looking at Musashi and Kojiro singing in unison above him, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Ever since they boarded the boat in Fallen Leaf Town, these three guys had been sneaking around him.

I'm not the slow-witted Ash I used to be. With their amateurish disguises and tracking skills, how could I not recognize these three guys?

"Pikachu, go! Let them taste the power of 100,000 volts!" He waved his hand, pointing to the hot air balloons in the sky.

The golden currents shot straight at the trio above, but the three of them showed no sign of panic. Musashi calmly pushed the Wobbuffet next to him in front of them.

"Sonams~"

Seeing the golden current rushing towards it, Wobbuffet's body emitted a rainbow glow, and Pikachu's Thunderbolt was easily caught and bounced back by Wobbuffet.

This move is Wobbuffet's signature move for deflecting special attacks: Mirror Coat.

"Pikachu, now's the time! Catch the rebounding 100,000 volts, concentrate that energy into an Electric Ball, and hit the opponent's hot air balloon!"

"Pica~"

Upon hearing this, Pikachu nodded, leaped up and caught the rebounding Thunderbolt, and under its control, the rebounding Thunderbolt formed a golden electric ball on its tail that was even larger than its normal size.

"What?! Meow!"

Upon seeing this, the Team Rocket trio, led by Meowth, were taken aback.

"Pika pika~"

Under Pikachu's control, the even more powerful electric ball directly blasted the Meowth hot air balloon to pieces.

The Rockets trio, accompanied by the words "What an awful feeling!" and "Sonams!", vanished into the sky like shooting stars.

"These three guys are really clingy! They've followed me all the way to Sinnoh!"

"Pika pika~"

"Okay~"

Ash, Pikachu, and Aipom (each with two Pokémon) all shook their heads. In some ways, this Team Rocket trio was quite terrifying.

But he didn't think much of it and headed towards the Yamanashi Research Institute with Pikachu and Aipom.

The place where he disembarked was not far from Zhensha Town; it was a short walk from there.

As for how to get there, just ask a passerby for directions.

After all, Professor Yamanashi is quite famous in this area, just like Professor Oak is famous in Kanto. He is a renowned Pokémon researcher.

He is also the distributor of the starter Pokémon, and it's estimated that everyone in Masago Town knows this professor.

So when he learned the location of Zhensha Town from a passerby, he rushed there without stopping.

……

"Ali~"

In a small forest, a giant, seven-colored spider bared its fangs and spat out venomous needles at the long-tailed monster. Around it lay several bodies identical to the giant spider; they were the Ariados, the people who lived there.

"Aipom, watch out! Dodge its poison needles and unleash Swift!"

"Okay~"

The longtailed monster skillfully used its tail to brace itself on the ground and dodge the poison needles. Then, with a flick of its tail, a dozen or so golden stars shot towards Ariados.

This attack was very effective, and Ash quickly urged Aipom to follow up with a Focus Punch, which knocked Ariados to the ground.

"Okay~"

After defeating its opponent, Aipom climbed onto Ash's shoulder as if to claim credit and skillfully took away his hat.

"Well done!"

Looking at the mischievous long-tailed monster, he couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness, but then praised its performance.

As we passed through this grove, several Ariados suddenly appeared, but they were all dealt with by the long-tailed monsters on our shoulders.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to the mischievous behavior of the long-tailed monster.

"It looks like Heart Lake is just ahead, let's all go check it out!" Xiao Zhi said to the two little guys on his shoulder.

"Pica~"

"Okay~"

Pikachu and Aipom also expressed their agreement.

There are three famous lakes in the Sinnoh region, and he remembered that there was one near the Yamanashi Research Institute, which seemed to be the location of Memrigold, the god of emotions.
