Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

Xiao Guang's profession is a coordination trainer, so he specifically mentioned this city to see the other party's reaction.

Just as he expected, she smiled and said, "In that case, how about we travel together? My dream is to become an excellent Coordinator, so Jubilee City is also my destination!"

"Of course, no problem. Please take good care of me, Hikaru!"

With a slight smile, she extended her right hand and clasped Xiaoguang's delicate hand.

"Then please take care of me, the new trainer, Ash!"

The faces of the boys and girls were unconsciously filled with happy smiles.

Although the storyline is somewhat different from the original, the two destined individuals still become partners.

The only change was that because he had dealt with the Rockets trio ahead of time, Hikari's bicycle wasn't damaged.

Once Ash retrieved his Pokédex, the two officially embarked on their journey.

Chapter 8 Subduing Mukher

On the road in Sand Town, Ash and Dawn, having made all the necessary preparations, officially embarked on their journey.

In order to travel well with Ash, Dawn left his bicycle alone at the Yamanashi Research Institute and embarked on the journey on foot with Ash.

"Okay~"

Along the way, the long-tailed monster darted around on the big trees beside it.

This mischievous behavior also caught Xiaoguang's attention.

"Ash, your Pokémon seem quite special. Whether it's Aipom or Pikachu, they both seem to prefer staying outside!"

The girl's pretty face was full of confusion, her blue eyes fixed on Xiaozhi, as if trying to get an answer from him.

"It's actually very simple. Pokémon, just like humans, have their own needs. The reason they often stay outside is simply because they don't like the world inside the Poké Ball!"

Pokémon are a type of living being, and their intelligence is no less than that of humans. It's perfectly normal for them not to like staying in a closed space.

Even if someone were to put him in a cage, he would definitely be very unhappy.

"That's it!"

The girl listened and nodded thoughtfully.

This is somewhat different from her previous view, which she had always believed that Pokémon should stay in Poké Balls.

Upon hearing Ash's words, she suddenly realized what was going on and silently released Piplup from her Poké Ball.

"Boga~"

When the blue penguin appeared, it first looked around and, finding no enemies, happily hugged Xiao Guang.

Ash saw everything Dawn did, and he exchanged a glance with Pikachu on his shoulder. They both smiled at each other.

"Muk~"

"Okay~"

Just then, Aipom, which was constantly moving through the forest, suddenly bumped into a Stark. This house bird seemed to have a bad temper and aggressively started to cause trouble for Aipom.

"Ash, something seems wrong. It looks like those two are about to fight!" Dawn screamed, covering her mouth.

"It's nothing, just a little guy who came to my door, just what I wanted!"

He remained completely calm in the face of this situation; in fact, he was quite excited.

After all, how could he not be excited when a housebird comes to his doorstep?

"Longtail Hand, use High Speed ​​Star!"

"Okay~"

Upon hearing Ash's command, Aipom, who had initially felt somewhat apologetic, attacked without hesitation. With a flick of its tail, which had a fist-like extension, it launched over a dozen glittering high-speed stars toward Star.

"Muk~"

With a flap of its wings, Stark used a powerful gust of wind to disperse Aipom's high-speed star, and then used Quick Attack to rush towards Aipom.

"Jump up to dodge, then charge up and unleash a powerful Ki-Gathering Fist (concentrated strike)!"

Upon hearing this, Aipom immediately acted on Ash's command.

His entire body suddenly leaped up, while his tail continuously built up the energy needed for the Qi Gathering Fist. When Murkol passed below, he slammed his charged punch down hard.

"Muk~"

Faced with Aipom's fierce attack, Stark instantly transformed into five figures, dodging Aipom's charged attack.

This surprised him slightly. He hadn't expected Mukel to have a shadow clone ability. It seemed that this little guy was quite high-level.

During this moment of distraction, the clone activated the Swallow Return skill, and with a single backflip, it struck Aipom's body.

"Oops!"

Hikari covered his mouth, but dared not make a sound, afraid of disturbing Satoshi's thoughts.

"Hold on, Aipom! Stand up straight and spin upside down while unleashing a Focus Punch to sweep away all the shadows!"

"Monkey~"

Aipom grinned and followed Ash's orders, transforming into a spinning top and rapidly rotating in place. Its tail lit up as it unleashed a Focus Punch that swept across the surrounding shadows.

After scattering the rows of shadows, he finally reached Murk's true form and sent her flying with a single blow.

"Go ahead, Poke Ball!"

He raised his hand and threw out a red and white Poké Ball. The red light flickered slightly, and he captured his starter bird in the Sinnoh region.

He was quite fond of Stark's final evolution, the Punk Bird... uh, Starhawk.

After all, judging from its moveset, Staraptor can learn moves that are no longer limited to Flying-type.

It's amazing that it can learn so many powerful Fighting-type moves; it's truly a unique bird in the world of domesticated birds.

Close-quarters combat and desperate fighting are among Starhawk's specialties.

When it gets really into a fight, it can definitely match the flamboyant, outlandish hairstyle on its head.

"Wow, is this the whole process of catching Pokémon?"

Seeing Ash successfully capture Stark, Dawn put her hands together in surprise, her blue eyes sparkling with an emotion of admiration.

"Xiao Guang, you can try it too! There's some grass right next to you!"

Seeing Xiao Guang eager to try, he quickly pointed to the knotted grass on the tree, which looked like a straw raincoat.

"Okay, there won't be any problems!"

"Boga~"

Hikaru and Bogarman first gave themselves a spirited pep talk before embarking on their first capture mission.

However, the first time for newcomers is never so smooth. After failing to get in several times, Xiao Guang and Bo Jia Man were both somewhat devastated and knelt down on the spot.

"Oh dear, it seems there's a big problem. Was my performance lacking?"

"It's alright. If you hadn't made a series of mistakes along the way, you would have succeeded!"

Seeing the girl's emotional breakdown, he quickly found a tricky angle to comfort her.

However, the girl's next actions left him dumbfounded.

"Really, Bogarman? Then let's keep trying! If we can try again, no problem, no problem!"

Hikaru waved his hands energetically, not forgetting to encourage Bogarman next to him.

"Boga~Boga~"

Encouraged, Hikaru and Bogarman instantly regained their full strength.

"Alright, let's continue. We must succeed in capturing it next!"

He stood aside with a maternal smile, quietly watching the girl's performance.

At the same time, he discovered that Xiaoguang regained her confidence very quickly. Even after several failures, she was still laughing and joking. She truly deserves to be called a girl full of energy.

Chapter 9 Gang Ye Returns, and Xiao Gang Suffers Another Heartbreak

"Ugh, another failure!"

Failing to capture a Pokémon once again left Dawn feeling disheartened, despite her usual high spirits.

Compared to the experienced Ash, Dawn, who has just become a rookie trainer, is far from being a good trainer and seems to have a long way to go before she can successfully capture a Pokémon.

"Boga~"

Bogaman followed Hikaru's example and lowered his head dejectedly.

Bogarman, with his round head, slumped down, looking rather oddly cute.

However, this cannot conceal their series of failures.

And the repeated failures caused them to lose their initial form.

If it weren't for Ash's encouragement, the two of them would probably have started to doubt their own existence (as Pokémon).
