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

Seeing Babaozhou making a fool of itself by jumping around because of its cheeky behavior, the little ones burst into laughter. This could be considered a unique way for Babaozhou and Celebi to greet each other.

"What adorable Pokémon!" May and Max also came to Ash's side at this moment.

They looked at the newly appeared shrine with great curiosity.

"Ash, what kind of Pokémon is this?"

“The legendary shurabi, who is revered as the god of the forest, is my important partner.”

"Compare!"

Celebi immediately landed on Ash's shoulder, striking a cute pose that said, "I'm awesome, aren't I?"

"It's the legendary Pokémon Celebi!"

Xiao Sheng's eyes lit up again.

Unlike the Water Elemental, which is famous in various regions, the Celebi is not something that many people can actually see in person because of its protection period and forest responsibilities.

So although the legend is famous, its appearance is not as widely known as Suicune's, which is why Haruka and the others were unable to recognize it immediately.

"Wow, Ash, you're amazing to be friends with so many rare Pokémon."

This is exactly the person Xiaosheng dreams of being, and his admiration for Xiaozhi has increased by another ten percentage points.

"Work hard in your training, and you can do it too!"

"Probably..." (in a low voice)

Ash patted Max's head to encourage him, and then led Celebi to the giant tree.

Having spent so much time with Ash in the Johto region, Celebi's injuries sustained due to Team Rocket have naturally been fully healed.

After recovering, it went to travel through time with the other young rabbis, happily wandering through various forests, fulfilling its duties as the forest god and guardian of time.

Of course, this doesn't count as Ash releasing Celebi, since the connection between Celebi and the Poké Ball is still intact.

It's just that Celebi is kind-hearted, loves peace, and doesn't like fighting, so Ash usually lets it do what it likes.

Ash will only summon Celebi when he needs its help.

Incidentally, Latios has also woken up with the help of Ash and Celebi, but its body has not yet recovered to the point where it can fight.

So Ash is temporarily keeping Latias at Professor Oak's lab to rest, and Latias is also there with its brother.

(Professor Oak covered all the expenses, and Ash loves Professor Oak to death!)

However, Professor Oak mentioned that occasionally Chikorita and Latias would insist on coming to keep Ash company, causing quite a bit of trouble in the backyard.

When the time is right, Ash will bring them along on their journey, but right now, saving the giant tree is the priority.

"Celebi, I want to save this giant tree for the sake of the Treeckoes. Can you lend me a hand?"

"Compare!"

Under the tense gaze of the rascal gecko, Celebi first flew around the big tree once.

Then, green energy surged from its entire body, and it used its small hands to send light waves to the roots of the giant tree.

At this moment, Ash also placed his hand on Celebi's back, transferring his Aura power to it.

A green halo spread outwards from the shrine with the shrine at its center, illuminating the entire night sky and creating a breathtaking scene.

The giant tree, which had been withered, was forcibly infused with a vigorous life force and miraculously began to regain its green vitality.

Wow, what a beautiful scene!

At this moment, not only May and her friends, but also the Treecko clan that had left earlier were attracted by the dazzling green light and came to the vicinity of the giant pit.

Although Elder Treekia and the Rogue Treekia had a quarrel, it was actually because they were really worried about the Rogue Treekia's health.

Even bringing Ash here was a way to take the Treecko away.

So even after they left, they stayed around the giant tree and didn't go too far away from the Gecko.

Upon discovering the strange change in the giant tree, they immediately surrounded it.

At this moment, all the geckos stared in disbelief as the giant tree they once lived in gradually regained its vitality, and the giant lizards' big, watery eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

When they were forced to leave this giant tree, the other Treekia were also very reluctant, but Treekia must live on a healthy tree, so they had no choice but to leave.

"Kimo!" (You're back!)

"Chirp, chirp!" (Our most important home is back!)

……

The giant tree was so large that the transfer of life energy continued for quite a while, until Celebi finally landed on Ash's shoulder, panting heavily.

At this point, Ash's Aura power had already been reduced to 90%, but the effect was still remarkable.

The once charred and bare tree is now radiating a green glow, and leaves are sprouting from its branches one by one.

The huge crack caused by the lightning strike healed at that moment, and the desolate crater was suddenly revitalized.

"Chirp!" The rascal Treecko was the most excited of all the Treeckos.

It touched the newly grown leaves on the giant tree branch, in disbelief.

But it was all real; the giant tree really came back to life.

At this moment, the other Treeckoes immediately surrounded it and Ash, and began to celebrate joyfully.

But soon after, Treecko spoke to the elder and then walked firmly to Ash.

It casually picked up a fallen branch and held it in its mouth, while its big tail gently tapped Ash's leg.

According to the agreement between true men, it came and went with Ash.

"Jimo".

"Looks like you'll be a very unique partner. I'll be looking forward to working with you from now on, Treecko." Ash took out a Poké Ball and pressed it onto Treecko's head.

This time, there was no struggle whatsoever; the Poké Ball captured it with a thud.

Chapter 359 Routine Training, Major Crisis in Relationships

"Come on, everyone, let's get to know each other. This is our new partner, Treekia."

"Spar!"

"Chama!"

Thanks to the blessing of the Mother Tree, Ash and his friends had a smooth journey ahead without getting lost, and were soon to reach the next town.

At this moment, they are resting after their journey. They let their Pokémon out to get some fresh air and also let them meet their new companions.

Torchic and Taillow were naturally quite enthusiastic when they saw Treecko, and immediately went over to greet it.

Unfortunately, the tree gecko remained aloof and did not respond to them. It simply jumped onto a high branch, cut off a twig, and coolly held it in its mouth while admiring the view.

Being ignored like this infuriated Tumbleweed, so it flew up and argued loudly with Treecko, but Treecko still ignored it.

"Sba!"(╬▔ Pan▔)

Aogu Yan got even angrier.

It kept calling out, as if it absolutely had to get a response from the Treecko, but the Treecko was just as stubborn, stubbornly turning its head away and refusing to look at the Tallbird.

The two stubborn individuals seemed to be locked in a battle of wits, arguing incessantly.

"That Treecko..." Ash sighed and scratched his head. Being too individualistic at times like this isn't a good thing.

"The tree gecko used to live in trees, which probably made it more comfortable, but it couldn't get along well with its companions that way."

"That's true. We'll be good partners on the same team from now on. How can we not get along?"

Suddenly, Ash had an idea.

"I've got it! Let's have a doubles match!"

Nothing fosters stronger bonds between two sides more than fighting together.

"Doubles, with whom?" Xiao Sheng looked around; this open space was only occupied by their group.

"Could it be my older sister? She only has one Pokémon yet."

"And with a trainer of your level, I'm afraid she wouldn't even last one round against you."

"Hey Xiaosheng, that's going too far!"

"But come to think of it, May, how come you haven't caught a single Pokémon yet?"

"Uh……"

Seeing that Ash also agreed with Max, May was speechless for a moment.

But she quickly and confidently stated her reasons.

"I just like cute Pokémon. I don't want to catch any that aren't cute."

"cute……"

Ash and Max both looked at May with helpless expressions.

"So, my sister's skill level isn't good enough. When it comes to Pokémon, the first thing to look at is strength!"

"A Pokémon is cool as long as it's powerful enough. Judging by appearance alone is too superficial!"

"Xiao Sheng, what you just said seems incredibly superficial!"

"No way!"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhi suddenly remembered that today was the day that guy was supposed to come over for training.

“That’s perfect. May, I’ll lend you one of my Pokémon. With its strength, even if you were to command it, it would definitely help Treecko and Taillow train.”

Even if it were me...

Ash's words were a bit hurtful; May has clearly been seriously studying Pokémon battles lately.

"Humph!"

After making that little expression, Haruka decided that she would deliberately ignore Satoshi from now on.

But before she could act for long, she was immediately drawn to the Pokémon that Ash released.

"Wow, what an adorable Pokémon! What is it?"

"It didn't summon Suicune, but it looks like Misdreavus, although it's much bigger."

Shoichi was initially a little disappointed not to see the Eight Treasure Porridge, but upon seeing a Pokémon he had never seen before, he immediately showed an excited expression.

With his extensive knowledge of Pokémon, Max immediately recognized the other Pokémon, but he still couldn't accurately identify it.

At this point, Ash stopped hiding it.

"This child is named Zhenyifa, and he is an ancient species of Misdreavus."

"Ash, are Ancient Species Pokémon like Aerodactyl that lived in ancient times?"

"According to Professor Oak, it should be about right."

Upon hearing that Ash would subject Babaozhou to grueling training if it stayed any longer, Babaozhou immediately turned tail and ran back to its happy nest, refusing to come out again.

Of course, Ash would never let it go, but its training time wasn't today.

The Pokémon summoned by Ash was the long-unseen Fa Jie, everyone's beloved Baba Xixi Li San teacher.

Although Ash Ketchum doesn't use it much in official battles, it has never missed a single Pokémon Warmth event in the Johto region.
