"Misty, Misty... let me go first..." Ash thought for a while, and decided to take back this Catterpie. After all, he was going to challenge the Pewter Gym in the near future. Just once and then pass, he doesn't want to fail!
"What do you want to do?!" However, Misty seemed to understand the meaning of Ash's words, and looked at Ash with a horrified face, "Could it be...do you... want to take back Catterpie?!"
"Of course! I only have one Pikachu now. If I want to challenge the gym, how can I only have one Pokémon? And the Butterfree evolved from Catterpie is also very good, very suitable for me now!" Ash said seriously.
"But, but..." Misty bit her lip, Ash took back Catterpie's words, that is to say, in the future journey, she will see Bug Type Pokémon every day!
"This is also good for your situation!"
Ash took advantage of the moment when Misty relaxed, turned around and stared into Misty's eyes, "I know that it will be difficult for you to overcome your weakness for a while, but if I recover , you get along with Catterpie every day, and after a long time, your weakness will be overcome."
Although Misty's mind is very confused now, she still listened to Ash's words, and she didn't want to drag Ash down because of her own sake. Pokémon like Catterpie are indeed very good training objects for Ash.
"Okay, okay..." Misty let go of Ash's clothes, and hurriedly stepped back to create a distance, as if afraid that the Catterpie would suddenly run to her side.
"Okay! Ready!" After seeing Misty back away, Ash heaved a sigh of relief, and then looked at the Catterpie. At this time, the Catterpie seemed to have seen the situation and wanted to run away.
"Of course I won't let you escape! Pikachu, come on!" Ash waved his right hand, signaling Pikachu to prepare for battle.
"Pikapika !" Pikachu trotted forward a few steps, landed on all fours, and came out in a fighting stance, with a fighting look on his face. Although Rival was just a Catterpie, it was also the first Rival it met!
"Green..." Sensing Pikachu's fighting spirit, Catterpie took two steps back a little timidly. Having lived in the forest all year round, it knew that the other party wanted to fight with itself, and it seemed that the human was planning to regain itself!
"Since you don't strike first, then we're welcome!" Seeing that Catterpie didn't intend to strike first, Ash immediately launched an offensive, "Pikachu, Quick Attack!"
"Pika !" A translucent white light shone on Pikachu's body, and the next moment, driven by power, Pikachu rushed out at an extremely fast speed!
"Green!" Seeing Pikachu's action, Catterpie's expression changed, and he immediately spit out a white silk thread from his mouth. This is exactly the move that most Bug Type Pokémon can do, String Shot!
String Shot is a bug type move. It does not have any power. It is a change type move. Its effect is to slow down the speed of the Pokémon hit by one level, which is 25%.
Catterpie's String Shot is indeed very timely, but with the blessing of Quick Attack, Pikachu's speed is very fast, and it is also very sensitive, moving left and right, easily dodging the attacking white silk thread, and then Catterpie has not yet When he realized it, he bumped his head on Catterpie's head.
"Bang!" Catterpie was knocked headfirst and flew several meters away. After falling to the ground, he slid for several meters!
Although both are at the Earl Dervish level, Catterpie is at a relatively low level, and Pikachu is about to break through to the normal level now, and the strength between the two is not equal at all.
And this blow also caused a lot of damage to Catterpie, its physical strength dropped a lot, and it seemed a little sluggish.
"One more blow, use Thunder Shock!" Ash pursued the victory without hesitation. The current Catterpie has not lost his fighting ability, and the Poké Ball may not be able to recover it.
A blank Poké Ball costs 200 yuan, which is very expensive. Ash can't afford to waste these Poké Balls, which must be hit in one hit.
"Pickup !" The Electric Type was excited, and a strand of electric arc floating outside the electric bag combined into a lightning bolt, blasted out, and directly hit Catterpie!
"Green!" Seeing the incoming Thunder Shock, Catterpie turned pale with fright. In a panic, he hit the ground with the back half of his body. Assist, the counter impact force, jumped up and avoided Pikachu's Thunder Shock!
"What?!" Ash, Pikachu, and even Misty behind didn't expect Catterpie to be able to make such a move, and even dodged Pikachu's attack.
Catterpie, who jumped into the air, immediately spit out a silk thread from his mouth, tied it to the top of a big tree not far away, and then swung over, trying to escape.
"Don't let it escape, Pikachu, use Thunder Shock again!" Ash's eyes froze, if he let Catterpie escape under such circumstances, what a shame he would have!
"Pikapika !" Pikachu trotted forward two steps, aimed at Catterpie in mid air, and used Thunder Shock again. The golden Spark pierced the air and struck the target with bursts of 'sizzing' sounds.
Catterpie in mid air panicked, and now it has no other way to avoid Pikachu's attack.
But at this moment, a black shadow flew out from the bushes next to it.
It seemed to be blocked by the dense foliage.
It didn't realize that there was a battle here before, but after it appeared, it discovered the Thunder Shock in front of it.
But for a while Unable to react, he bumped into the Thunder Shock that was attacking Catterpie!
"Bo !" After the hit black shadow uttered a miserable cry, it fell from mid air onto the ground, with a trace of smoke emitting from its body, and it was obvious that it had lost its ability to fight.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Catterpie has already fled to the tree with the pull of the silk thread, and without looking back, he uses String Shot again to pull himself away from here.
"This... this... what the hell is going on..." Ash looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment. He originally wanted to recover a Catterpie, but the Pokémon lying on the ground turned out to be A Pidgey?
This change made Pikachu also stunned in place, completely forgetting to chase Catterpie, let alone Misty behind, this kind of thing has never happened to her since she became a trainer.
"So... I want to recover a Pidgey now?" Ash came in front of Pidgey. At this time, Pidgey has lost the ability to fight, and he can easily recover it as long as he throws the Poké Ball.
"Pidgey's words...it doesn't seem to be impossible, it's just..." Ash's face was a little rd, he didn't expect that he had let go of a Pidgey before, and here in the Viridian Forest, he actually met another Pidgey...
