Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

However, being an ill-mannered person, he merely clicked his tongue and showed an impatient expression in response to Xiaoxia's words.

"I don't care, this Cyndaquil must be mine."

The young man took out a Poké Ball and released a Sandslash, seemingly intending to steal it by force.

Where did this guy come from?

This stereotypical and annoying image made Xiaozhi think for a moment that he was there to attract their attention.

Then members of an evil organization will come and ambush them in Gundams.

"Houndoom, Flamethrower!"

Faced with the incredibly powerful jet of flame, Sandslash panicked and tried to dodge, but it turned out the attack wasn't aimed at it.

Then Sandslash heard its trainer's scream.

"Ah, it's so hot, so hot, so hot!"

The flames happened to brush past the area of ​​his trousers near the foot of the old Beijing imperial city wall.

Now it's time to grill the sausages.

"Why waste words on someone like that?" Pear Blossom said as decisively as ever.

The young man was in so much pain that he clutched his groin and rolled around on the ground.

"That's too cruel. Is it really okay to attack trainers like that?" Xiaoxia is still too kind.

"What trainer? I didn't see one!"

But Pear Blossom was indeed still that wicked woman.

Ash and his friends casually kicked away a Pokémon that had inexplicably darted out from the roadside, and happily headed back with Cyndaquil's Poké Ball.

And sure enough, they got lost in the forest.

Although they couldn't find the way back to the Pokémon Center, they accidentally found the original route to Azalea Town.

"Really?" Xiaoxia looked at the main road in front of her in disbelief.

"I told you long ago, Xiaoxia, we would definitely find the way."

That's what makes Ash so amazing—he always gets lost, but he's never late.

————Bullet Fist————

Despite the scorching sun, everyone walked happily on the road to the town of Hinoki.

First, he caught a Cyndaquil, then he found the way to Azalea Town, and there's even a gym in town waiting for Ash to challenge for the badge.

"Good things just keep happening one after another." Xiao Zhi felt that today must be his lucky day.

"I'm sure I'll get luckier and luckier!"

As they walked, Ash realized something was wrong: "Shouldn't there be a big river on the map here?"

They originally intended to replenish their water resources here, but they had recently run out of water.

But what appeared before them was only a riverbed that had dried up to its bottom.

"I really want some water." It's so hot, and Xiaoxia has been thirsty for a long time.

Now Xiaozhi is also in a bit of a dilemma.

Suijun can purify water, but there has to be water first.

It feels weird to drink water released by Pokémon. Does it count as drinking water?

After checking the system shop for mineral water priced at 10,000 League Coins per bottle, Ash bought three bottles and gave them to Misty and the others to quench their thirst temporarily.

"It's alright, the town of Hinoki is just ahead!"

A little setback is nothing to worry about; today is still my lucky day.

Quickly release your newly caught Cyndaquil for some training to change your mood!

"Nino?"

"Hello, Cyndaquil."

This Cyndaquil is a bit silly; even when Ash picks it up, it still looks adorably dazed, but it seems to have a very good temper.

It's completely different from the old troll.

"Alright, let's have a match and test your strength."

Ash found a Pidgey next to the rock and took a look at Cyndaquil's information.

Pokémon Name: Cyndaquil

[Attribute: Fire]

【种族值：体力：39；攻击：52；防御：43；特攻：60；特防：50；速度：65；总和：309】

【Ability: Blaze (When HP is low, the power of Fire-type moves increases)】

[Skills: Impact; Lightning Strike; Flame Wheel; Flame Jet...]

[Favorability rating: 10% (It thinks you look kind)]

【Intimacy Level: 5% (Still relatively unfamiliar)】

[Description: It usually curls its back up, but when it is angry or frightened, it will breathe fire from its back.]

"You've mastered quite a few skills." As expected of a Cyndaquil that can survive in the wild, Ash immediately placed it in front of Pidgey.

"Go, Cyndaquil! Use Flamethrower!"

"Nino~"

Unexpectedly, after Ash gave the command, Cyndaquil tried to open its mouth but only managed to exhale a small puff of black smoke.

The jet flame was not successfully used.

"Huh? What?"

"Then, then use the Flame Wheel!"

The situation was the same; the Cyndaquil curled up, and there was not a trace of flame on its back.

He rolled straight toward Bobo, only to be kicked back by the other guy.

"What's going on?"

"A Cyndaquil that can't use Fire-type moves, Ash, your Pokémon are always so peculiar." Misty shook her head helplessly.

Ash picked up Cyndaquil and stared at it blankly.

"Nino~"

Looking at its adorable expression, Xiao Zhi could only sigh.

"Sigh, come back first."

I can only put it back into the Poké Ball. I felt so lucky just now, but now I feel like things are getting worse.

"Let's hurry to Huipi Town and replenish our water supply!"

However, when they arrived in Huipi Town at top speed, not a single tap in the town had any water.

The fountain in the central square of Liancheng Town has been dry for several days.

In the dry pool, only a few Slowpokes lay in the shade, hiding from the sun, and not a drop of water could be seen.

"Ash, look!"

At this moment, Xiaoxia noticed a large notice board next to the fountain square.

"Due to the prolonged and severe drought, government offices, schools, and dojos have all temporarily closed and stopped receiving water."

"That means I can't challenge the gym either!"

It took Mingming a lot of effort to finally get to Hinoki Town.

"There's no other way, we'll have to go find Mr. Steel that Professor Oak told us about first."

After finding out Steel's address from the town's residents, Xiaozhi and his friends arrived there.

Unexpectedly, the door was also locked. Xiao Zhi rang the doorbell several times, but no one answered.

"What do you want with this family?" Just then, a little girl carrying a flower basket passed by.

"Hello little sister, do you know where this family went? We need to talk to Mr. Steel."

"Yes, I know. I am Steel's granddaughter. My name is Chie."

Unexpectedly, she turned out to be Steel's granddaughter, and she told Ash and the others where Steel had gone.

It turns out that Steel is the manager of the Slowpoke Well in town, and recently there have been strange noises coming from inside the Slowpoke Well.

It seems something went wrong. Steel went to check on them early this morning and hasn't returned yet.

"The Well of Slowpoke?"

"That's right. In our town, Slowpoke is the most important Pokémon. Legend has it that as long as Slowpoke yawns, the drought will end."

"It will rain heavily from the sky, and good things will happen to those who get caught in that rain."

"There has been a drought for the past few months, and everyone is hoping that Slowpoke will start yawning."

No wonder the central fountain is called the Slowpoke Fountain; there are so many Slowpokes there.

After getting the location of Slowpoke Well from Chie, Ash immediately took Misty and Blossom there.

He refused to believe that he would be so unlucky today that he would never even see the face of steel.

They jogged along and soon arrived in front of Slowpoke Well.

There is only one fountain-like area here, with a Slowpoke-shaped hand-operated water dispenser in the center.

It wasn't the well Xiaozhi had imagined. After searching around, they finally found a hole behind the fountain.

As soon as I got close and called out "Mr. Steel," I heard a loud noise coming from inside.

Chapter 201 The Secret of the Gold and Silver Balls (Part 2)

The loud noise at the cave entrance immediately attracted Ash and his friends, who quickly went down to check what was happening.

After going down into the cave, you walk along a small path to reach the inside of the well.

This place is actually a huge, damp cave; it's a truly peculiar structure.

"Look, Xiaozhi, there's water there!" Xiaoxia exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the spring at the bottom of the cave.

Discovering such a clear spring in these arid conditions is truly heartwarming.

However, the Slowpokes living near this spring are being chased by a giant gopher-like robot.

The Gopher Machine extends a large net from each of its two drill-like hands, scooping up the Slowpokes like it's catching fish and throwing them into the large fish basket behind it.

These Slowpokes are slow to react and move, and have no ability to fight back.

"It seems the sound came from the gopher robot." They quickly ran down the passageway beside the rock wall.

"I just didn't see Mr. Steel."

"Ouch."

Ash was still running around in confusion when suddenly an old voice came from behind him.

"Ah, where did that sound come from?" Pear Blossom was startled.

"Move your foot away, little girl, you're stepping on my back!"

Unexpectedly, the sound came from a giant Slowpoke being trampled under Pear Blossom's feet.

However, upon closer inspection, it turns out to be just a well-made rag doll coat, and inside is an old man.

They quickly helped him up.

"You're not Mr. Steel, are you? Why are you dressed like that?"

"I'm Steel, and I dressed up like this so as not to scare the Slowpokes here," the old man said, taking off his mask with a pained expression.

"This isn't the time to talk about this, let's quickly think of a way to stop them!"
