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

"Now! Pikachu, jump onto the rock in front and get out of the way!"

Because at this point, the accumulated injuries on Swellow's body were no longer enough to withstand any attack from Pikachu.

So Ash decided to capture it right then and there.

The moment Tailwing charged, Pikachu nimbly leaped into the air to dodge its attack.

Just ahead of Taillow's charge, Ash had already teleported to the rock and thrown the Poké Ball he had prepared.

Before it could dodge, Swellow's head collided head-on with the Poké Ball.

With a thud.

It turned into a red light and was captured into a Poké Ball. After a violent shaking, it was successfully captured!

"Alright, I've tamed the Proud Swallow!"

"Pikachu!"

Seeing the Poké Ball calm down, Ash immediately ran over excitedly, picked it up, and did his signature celebration.

"Xiao Zhi, hurry up and treat it, otherwise I'm worried that the Swellow won't be able to hold on."

"Don't worry, Max, I was prepared." Ash quickly released Taillow from its Poké Ball.

Having finally emerged from battle, Aogu Yan's chest heaved violently as she gasped for breath.

Despite being in extremely poor condition, Taillow remained wary of Ash and his friends' approach.

Upon seeing this, Ash immediately used his Aura to convey his goodwill to it, and at the same time took out a healing kit to give Swellow emergency treatment.

"Proud Swallow, there's no need to fight anymore."

"Spar..."

Ash used a super gentle head pat on Taillow, followed by healing and feeding, with Pikachu helping out from the side.

After a series of quick attacks, Swellow's hostility towards Ash and his friends finally dissipated.

After obediently taking the medicine that Ash gave it, its body was finally out of danger.

Then, Swellow curiously examined its body, which had been instantly revitalized after drinking Ash's "Super Expensive Advanced Healing Potion".

"Spa, Spa~"

I never imagined that after such a fierce battle, my injuries could heal so quickly. Humans are truly amazing!

[Ding! Aogu Yan: Favorability +4; Intimacy +4]

At this moment, Ash picked up Swellow from the ground and held it at eye level.

At the same time, he casually picked up a hard stone, crushed it into powder, and then spoke to Aogu Yan in an extremely serious tone.

"Swallow, aren't Pikachu and I very powerful?"

"Spa!" Aogu Yan stared blankly at the powder on the ground and nodded.

"Do you want to become as strong as Pikachu?"

"Spa, Spa!!" Aogu Yan nodded faster than ever before.

Seeing that the time was right, Ash immediately extended the "King's Invitation" to Taillow.

"Aoguyan, you possess extraordinary talent. I admire you. Come and become my partner, let's grow stronger together!"

"Pickup!"

After a moment of contemplation, the Swellow immediately jumped affectionately onto Ash's shoulder, acknowledging Ash as its trainer.

"Spar!"

The proud swallow has been officially captured!

At this moment, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng immediately surrounded them and greeted their new friend.

"Wow, this proud swallow is developing very well."

“A normal Swellow is only 0.3 meters long and weighs 3.2 kilograms, but yours looks at least 40 centimeters long, it’s obviously a size bigger.”

"Xiao Sheng, you know so much."

Ash's opinion of Max changed considerably after seeing that Max could even memorize something like that.

"Of course! I'm not like my silly older sister. I'm known as the living encyclopedia of Pokémon at Petalburg Gym!"

"A narrow victory!"

"Ouch, sister, don't pull my ear!"

After watching the commotion for a while, Ash threw delicious soup lunches at May and Max to stop the siblings from continuing their fight.

Then he took out his carefully prepared Pokémon food for Pikachu and Taillow, and at the same time brought up Taillow's panel to check.

Pokémon Name: Taillow

[Attribute: Normal + Flying]

【种族值：体力：40；攻击：55；防御：30；特攻：30；特防：30；速度：80；总和：270】

[Ability: Guts (When a Pokémon with this ability is afflicted with a status condition, its Attack stat increases by 50%, and it ignores the effect of its Physical Moves being halved when it is burned)]

[Hidden Talent: Combat Continuation EX (As long as the fighting spirit is ignited, you will never fall before your life energy is exhausted!)]

[Skills: Lightning Strike; Energy Gathering; Wing Attack; Shadow Clone...]

Individual Values ​​(IVs): HP (Excellent); Attack (Best); Defense (Very Good); Special Defense (Best); Special Attack (Average); Speed ​​(Best);

[Overall: Remarkable talent!]

[Affection Level: 20% (Bound by fate, first acquaintance...)]

[Intimacy Level: 25% (It seems trust has just been established)]

[Description: Small in stature but extremely brave, capable of fighting off giant armored birds, but becomes cowardly when hungry.]

Taillow's base stats are typically low for a first-stage Pokémon, but its talent is truly remarkable, which Ash is very satisfied with.

Regardless, a Taillow that can withstand so many attacks from Pikachu without falling down is definitely one in a million Pokémon.

After lunch, with the addition of Taillow to the team, the other Taillows in the forest dared not attack Ash and his friends anymore due to its intimidation.

After leaving a large amount of Pokémon food for the Taillows as compensation for abducting their leader, Ash and his friends left the Taillows' territory safely.

"Xiao Zhi's cooking is so delicious! I almost thought we weren't going to be able to eat it."

[Ding! Xiaoyao: Affection +5]

After eating her fill, Xiaoyao was in a much better mood and skipped along with the group.

But at this point, her younger brother Xiaosheng had some objections.

"Sister, could you please stop acting like a complete idiot?"

"You ate more than me just now, Xiaosheng!"

"Don't you know that a 7-year-old is at the age when he is growing... but this is not the time to talk about this."

"Sister, why didn't you go out to fight when the Taillow flock attacked? You have Pokémon too, don't you?"

"Ah, this..." Xiaoyao didn't expect Xiaosheng to say this.

"I was so nervous at the time, all I could think about was relying on Satoshi... so..."

"That won't do! How can Pokémon trainers just run away when they encounter difficulties?"

"Xiao Sheng, who gave you the right to lecture me now!"

"Hey, sister, you're bullying me!"

"Alright, alright, but what Max said isn't wrong either. You should have released Torchic to fight with us earlier, Haruka."

When a large number of Pokémon appear, it's a great opportunity to gain experience. May is still too inexperienced.

"If you don't fight, you and Torchic won't be able to grow."

"What? Ash is actually siding with Max." May pouted unhappily.

"Okay, I got it. I'll battle Pokémon next time I encounter one."

"However, we won't see any wild Pokémon around here anytime soon..."

Suddenly, May spotted a giant Pokémon darting past them in the distance, startling her.

"What is that!?"

"That looks like a serpent bear, but a normal serpent bear is only 0.4 meters tall, but that one looked to be close to two meters long!"

"It must be an exceptionally well-developed individual!"

Upon hearing this, Ash immediately exclaimed excitedly, "What? That might be a Totem Pokémon!"

"overlord?"

"These are special individuals whose size and strength far exceed those of their ordinary counterparts. They are often the dominant rulers of a Pokémon territory, hence the name 'Dominator Pokémon'."

Xiao Zhi was simply amazed at how lucky he was today.

First, they encountered a proud swallow that they couldn't kill no matter how they fought it, and now they've encountered a tyrant snake-patterned bear.

"Hurry, Xiaoyao, let's catch up! It'll be your turn to fight soon!"

"Ah, should I go fight that snake bear?"

Chapter 354 Haruka's First Time...Battle

And so, Ash led May and the others in a close pursuit of the giant serpentine bear, searching for the perfect opportunity to engage it in battle.

Then they saw the snake-skinned bear suddenly stand up, peel off its "skin," and turn into a green-haired boy.

"Sigh, can a snake-striped bear actually transform into a human?"

"Silly sister, this is a human being, just wearing a mascot costume!"

"look."

Xiao Sheng, that brat, acts without any restraint. He brazenly ran up to this person and forcibly turned his face so that Xiao Yao could get a good look.

"It really is a human."

"What are you doing?!"

The innocent boy was bewildered by the sudden appearance of the Xiaoyao siblings, who were acting on their own, and for a moment he forgot his original goal.

Just then, a real serpentine bear in front of him was frightened away by the noise, and the boy was immediately distraught.

"Oh dear, you've ruined my plan to capture the snake bear again! How are you going to compensate me?!"

Just as the boy was about to lose his temper, he suddenly glanced at Xiaosheng and Xiaoyao's exposed knees and immediately beamed with joy.

"Shorts, shorts, showing off your knees looks so great and beautiful!"

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Seeing the boy in front of her getting angry and excited all at once, Xiaoyao felt a little scared and quickly hid next to Xiaozhi.

"Yes, why would you wear a snake-patterned bear plush toy in the forest?"

And it was made so realistically that even the movements of the snake bear were imitated perfectly.

Ash didn't even notice it until the waveguide sensor was turned on, which made him excited for nothing.

"Alright, since you want to know my name, I'll tell you."

"Sometimes I'm a serpentine bear walking in the forest, sometimes I'm a stinging jellyfish drifting in the ocean, and sometimes I'm a beautiful flower dancing a beautiful dance..."

The boy kept changing his doll costume, his movements so practiced that it was clear he had practiced at least a hundred times.

"But my real identity is... Archie, the boy in shorts, as everyone calls me!"

"The boy in shorts?"

"Archie?"

"It's a good thing you managed to bring so many leather cases on your solo trip."

"It's definitely tough usually... but that's not important! Those two trainers who expose their knees to connect with nature, they love nature!"
