Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

Even if Ash is stupid, he would realize that something was wrong.

It seems that Ms. Karuno and Ms. Cynthia do not have a very good relationship.

"I am fine."

Cynthia spoke gently, and the pervasive cold air instantly dissipated.

It was as if it had never existed.

However, his eyes didn't look like he was alright at all.

[Da Ye: Hurry! Hurry! Start fighting! I love watching women fight!]

[Denji: Forget it, you're truly hopeless. You've repeatedly challenged Cynthia's limits and you're still alive? Your life is incredibly tough.]

[DaYe: It's not a big problem. I usually stay at the Pokémon Center. As long as I'm still breathing, I won't die.]

[Little Chrysanthemum: Big Leaf King, you're really something else!]

[Dalmatian: Wow, I didn't expect to see Cynthia with that expression. It's really strange~ What could be the reason~ Let me think~ Could it be because of Ash~]

You know what provocation is.

[Cynthia: It feels like it's been a long time since we've played against each other. Do you have time to arrange a match?]

[Karuna: Okay, I'll be waiting for you in Lucerne, don't forget to come!]

Provocation, naked provocation.

Karuno, who had just received the "Champion's Stance" buff, was not intimidated at all.

Just today.

She can be resurrected! He forcefully pinned Zhu Lan down beneath him!

The title of perennial runner-up can finally be removed!

Ash: A battle between champions? When does it start?! Count me in!

Audience member: You really have no idea why those two wanted to fight!

……

In the picture—

After this incident, Ash wisely chose to keep quiet.

At the same time, he placed Pikachu in Cynthia's arms to comfort the somewhat strange Cynthia.

It wasn't until the plane landed that Xiaozhi felt for the first time how fresh the air on the ground was.

Only Xiao Mao looked constipated.

Damn it, why does Cynthia care about Ash so much?!

This is really annoying!

Back in Pallet Town, they ran into Professor Oak, who was carrying Pokémon food.

See this.

Ash and Gary worked together to transport a cartload of Pokémon food to the lab's backyard.

As soon as I entered the backyard.

Ash received a warm welcome from his own Pokémon.

Then came the familiar Tauros Charge x30, and Ash finally escaped from the encirclement of a group of Pokémon.

Meanwhile, Professor Oak finished distributing the prepared Pokémon food and stood aside, rubbing his back.

"Xiao Mao, my workload has increased since you left."

In response, Xiao Mao immediately retaliated.

"Isn't this your own problem? There are researchers in the institute, yet you still do this kind of thing yourself."

"Hehe, I'm just trying to build a bond with the Pokémon."

the other side.

Ash also took out his Poké Balls and released Noivern and Charizard from the Unova Tournament.

"Noivern and Charizard, come out for dinner."

Watching the many Pokémon feasting, Pikachu next to Ash swallowed enviously.

I must say, the food in the backyard of Professor Oak's lab is really good.

Even Pikachu feels a bit nostalgic.

Still 0.6 good, Bulbasaur, the backyard steward, noticed Pikachu's unusual behavior.

It took a portion from its own bowl and gave it to Pikachu.

At this moment, Ash, who had been observing the backyard, suddenly noticed something was wrong.

It seems like someone's missing!

"Professor Oak, where did Infernape go?"

In a flash of inspiration, Ash realized that Infernape, who had been vying with Charizard for the title of Fire-type leader, was missing.

Upon hearing Ash's voice, Professor Oak slowly walked over.

"Infernape, it seems to have been challenging some Pokémon lately."

Professor Oak scratched his head, unsure of what to say.

He sorted out his thoughts.

He then spoke.

"It's like this: ever since you took Charizard away last time, Ash, Infernape has been sullen. It thinks that it might be because it's not strong enough that you didn't take it on your trip."

"During this time, Infernape was constantly challenging the Fire-type Pokémon in the backyard. It wasn't until you chose to take Charizard out again that Infernape left the backyard and disappeared without a trace."

"It's not that he's at a loss. He comes back every now and then, but he always comes back covered in injuries."

Professor Oak couldn't help but shake his head at this point.

In one of Ash's Pokémon.

Many Pokémon have strong personalities.

But Infernape's personality is too straightforward.

They have the personality type that tends to get stuck on minor details.

In particular, Ash chose to bring Charizard with him on two consecutive trips.

This made him feel that his self-esteem had been challenged.

"what!"

Xiaozhi was stunned.

He hadn't even considered this!

"I'm so sorry, Infernape, it's all my fault. Please don't let anything happen to you!"

Ash murmured.

After listening to Professor Oak's story, Ash was filled with deep self-reproach.

Oops!

Why didn't he discover this sooner!

Otherwise, Infernape wouldn't have acted this way!

Chapter 167 The Champion-Level Infernape! Ash's Apology!

It seems he hasn't considered the feelings of the Pokémon that have been staying in the backyard for a long time.

This will absolutely never happen again!

At this moment, Xiao Zhi's brain was spinning rapidly.

Combined with what Xiaomao said earlier.

Ash already had a rough guess in his mind.

Infernape is probably going to challenge the Moltres near Pallet Town.

Otherwise, unless Emperor Yan intervenes.

There is simply no other Fire-type Pokémon that can keep Infernape injured!

[Leon: Sometimes, catching too many Pokémon can cause this problem. A person's energy is limited, and sometimes it's impossible to cater to the feelings of every single Pokémon.]

[Daiwu: That's why I treat all my Pokémon with equal love.]

[Michael: What if you had a Diamond Princess Diancie?]

[Daigo: That's different, that's the Diamond Princess!]

[McClure: Yeah, even you, Steven, and Leon have favorite Pokémon, let alone Ash. He's already done a great job, after all, Ash has tried his best to distribute his love equally among all his Pokémon.]
