————————————————————

"Puff... Life sure is good."

Professor Oak had just taken a sip of his ramen water, and then he saw Ash sending back another Ultra Ball, he was so shocked that water sprayed all over the screen, "Ash, what Pokémon did you catch with a Ultra Ball again?"

"Haha, Grandpa, don't be so surprised. This is a basic operation for big brother!" Molly lay next to Ash, giggling and laughing at the look that Professor Oak was making.

Professor Oak wiped his mouth and wiped the screen again, "Molly-chan, you sound more and more like your brother Ash now!"

"Ash, don't bring Molly down with you!" Professor Oak looked at Molly and smiled at her. Now the current Molly is very optimistic and cheerful, it shows that Ash and his team took good care of her along the way.

"This is a Zapdos, it will train with Raikou. Professor Oak, please send my Slowking here. I will send both Phanpy and Rhydon back so that it can train Phanpy's Rollout while I get his Evolution item ready!" Ash made his quick request to Professor Oak.

Hearing that Ash wanted to exchange Slowking, Professor was stunned for a moment.

Slowking and Venusaur are now responsible for managing the entire backyard of his Laboratory, and are also responsible for supervising the training of all Ash's Pokémon. Normally he will not be exchanged unless something is required of him.

"What happened, why do you need your Slowking right now?" Professor Oak asked with concern.

"Grandpa Oak, we passed by Lake Slowpoke just now. Big Brother is going to practice with Slowking at the Slowpoke Temple for a few days!" Molly answered quickly on Ash's behalf.

Lake Slowpoke is also known as the "Lake of Enlightenment" and there are also many Slowpoke calling it their home.

It is said that a long time ago, a monk became enlightened here with his Slowpoke, and later founded the Slowpoke Temple here as a place for Calm Mind practice.

There is also a huge golden Slowpoke statue in the center, which looks very spectacular.

Ash and his group had already deviated from their original direction in order to beat up Team Rocket again.

So after cating his Zapdos, they simply re-planned their route and soon arrived at Lake Slowpoke, whereupon they contacted Professor Oak.

Ash's current Electric-type Pokémon, in addition to his Pikachu, are Raikou and Zapdos. Ash hoped they won't fight when they meet.

"So it turns out to be the Slowpoke Temple. When Gary contacted me before, he said he was also practicing at the Slowpoke Temple!" Professor Oak learned about the situation, and Tracey also sent Slowking's Poké Ball over.

"I got him back, thanks for your help Professor!"

"So this time Ash sent me a Zapdos." Then he felt the world around him began to shake.

"...….." The Professor looked very confused at this moment.

"HE SENT ME A WHHHHHATT?" He finally yelled out loudly, making Tracey almost go deaf.

After hanging up the phone, Ash threw his Poké Ball out, "Blow their minds, Slowking!"

Slowking always looked carefree, with his hands behind his back, calm and composed, "Ash, there seems to be a lot of the same kind of atmosphere here!"

Ash nodded along to what Slowking said, "Yes, I came to Lake Slowpoke to do some practice with you!"

"How about taking me to see that lake?" Slowking was quite interested in that lake.

"Okay!"

Ash took Molly and Slowking to find Misty and Brock again. They were preparing to go fishing at Lake Slowpoke with a lady named Madeleine.

"Slowking?" Madeleine was also very surprised when she saw Ash's Slowking, "I didn't expect you to have Slowking, Ash, it's really amazing!"

This Madeleine was met by Ash and his party at the shores of Lake Slowpoke. To be precise, they first met Slowpoke when she was fishing by the lake. It was also under her leadership that they came to the Slowpoke Temple.

Back to the lake, they didn't expect that Madeleine's Slowpoke was still on the shore, with its tail hanging in the water, looking very leisurely but dumb at the same time.

However, suddenly it lifted its tail, and there was a very large Goldeen biting on the tip of its tail!

"It's amazing, he caught a big fish!" Brock couldn't help but exclaim out loud.

But Slowpoke flicked its tail and threw the Goldeen back into the water.

"He let the Goldeen escape!" Misty exclaimed, it's was such a pity, such excellent one is rare to see in the wild.

However, Madeleine was very calm with what her Slowpoke just did, "This is because Slowpoke's purpose is not to catch something, it's just that fishing is his practice!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Slowpoke caught another huge Magikarp!

"It's amazing. All the Pokémon he caught are big ones compared to their average species size!" Brock was already shocked. The last time he saw something thsi big for their species was with Seaking and their competition.

Misty thought this was a very good opportunity for her, "Even if it's not the purpose, it should be okay to catch them, right?"

As a result, Madeleine replied, "As long as you can catch it, then it's all yours!"

Misty, who was very confident in her fishing skills, immediately ran towards the shore to capture another powerful Water-type Pokémon for her team!

"Big Brother, I'm going too!" Molly was eager to try fishing. This was her first time fishing. The last time she saw Misty and Ash fishing for Seaking, she wanted to try it but couldn't because of her age and height.

After that Brock also left, Ash and Slowking looked at each other, nodded, and found a random position to drop their fishhook.

He doesn't know how to fish, but fishing is not the purpose, cultivating his patience is!

The Water-type Pokémon here seem to be very interesting compared to the outside world. They themselves can sense the desire of the fishermen! So they will not fall for a easy bait.

This is the practice of patience. Being able to catch fish means that the fisherman has no distracting thoughts in his mind, he is just calm.

Ash and his Slowking grabbed their personal fishing rod and closed their eyes. Ash did not use his power over the Aura to check the water below, but slowly let himself go.

"The Champion of Johto Region Silver Conference is Pokémon Trainer Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!"

Slowly, a voice appeared in Ash's subconscious mind, and he curled his lips, "What does it mean to be the Johto Region League Champion? My dream is to become the Pokémon Master. Now, I am determined to win the Silver Conference. That wille be my first step into greatness!"

"Sho!"

Slowking's fishing rod moved very rigidly.

A Lanturn took the bait, but was released back into the lake by Slowking.

"Ash, your heart is boiling!" Slowking warned. The bond between him and Ash has reached its peak. It can be said that they are connected and both can sense each other's heart.

Ash didn't open his eyes to respond, "I know that, but this is a very good practice!"

Slowking nodded and casually threw his road back into the water.

Misty couldn't stand it anymore. She had never tried for so long without a Pokémon taking the bait. When she saw Slowking catching another Chinchou, she quickly came over and said, "Slowking, can you let me catch this Chinchou?"

Slowking slowly turned around and looked at Misty, Ash responded without opening his eyes once again, "Slowking said that since you weren't the one to bait it out, it won't listen to you even if you manage to catch it!"

This is another form of Catching Battle. Without such communication, the Bond Value will be too low and too slow in its future progress. Even if you forcefully capture the Pokémon, the Pokémon will hardly listen to you.

Misty glared at Ash, then turned to look at Chinchou, "Chinchou, fight me, I will catch you!"

Chinchou ignored Misty and jumped back into the lake.

"Let's go!" At this moment, there was movement on Ash's side, and a Magikarp was caught by him.

"Nice!" Madeleine applauded repeatedly, "Ash, you are really amazing. Before, a Trainer from Pallet Town came to our temple to practice. It took him three days to catch a single bite. How can you do it in just a short time?" Apparently catching a Pokémon within ten minutes here is an amazing accomplishment.

Ash gently put Magikarp back into the lake. He was neither sad nor happy. He smiled and said, "It is not hard to believe, Gary has always been impatient since childhood when it comes to this kind of things."

At this time, Madeleine's Slowpoke also had another bite, and a Shellder appeared on its tail.

Everyone suddenly became happy. Everyone knew that when a Slowpoke's tail is bitten by a Shellder, it can evolve into a Slowbro!

"Great, Slowpoke, now you have completely grown up from where we were at!" Madeleine looked at Slowpoke and was filled with joy.

"Grown up?"

Madeleine then nodded, "Yes, only people who really have no true material desire can catch the Shellder in this lake. This is really a rare thing!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Ash and Slowking's fishing rods both moved. When they lifted them up, they saw two Shellders!

Ash opened his eyes and looked at them as he was saying, "What are you talking about? I have too many material things I want and need."


Chapter 144: 144. The Great Run

The so-called "enlightenment", to put it bluntly, is to make yourself transcend your current self, to be with friends your truly most inner self, and to work hard together with the others around you. Even if the road is difficult, you will definitely be able to move forward with their help.

This is the path of a great Pokémon Trainer, and also the path of a top Pokémon profession.

Ash actually thought that the practices in this Slowpoke Temple is very suitable for Mewtwo. Mewtwo is like a philosopher starting in his journey, thinking about who he is and the meaning of his birth all day everyday.

If the wisdom is too high, there will be a lot of troubles. On the contrary, if it empties itself, without desires, there will be no troubles.

This is the so-called "Freedom".

All in all, Ash had a great time relaxing in the Slowpoke Temple!

After leaving here, Ash and his party finally arrived at the next town and found the Pokémon Center to rest and recuperate. Although they took a side road, they were not far from Blackthorn City. In fact they were preety close.

"Look how strong he is! Poliwrath! So cool!"

There were many people gathered at the battlefield close to the Pokémon Center. It was very noisy and lively there, someone must be having a Pokémon Battle there.

After Ash and his team checked their Pokémon in, they immediately became interested and took a closer look. It turned out that there were a Poliwrath and a Hitmontop fighting against each other.

At this moment, it was obvious that this Poliwrath had the upper hand in the battle, and most of the surrounding spectators were also cheering for that Poliwrath.

They all saw that the Poliwrath easily avoided Hitmontop's Triple Kick under his Trainer's command, and used a strong looking Double Slap on the already weakened Hitmontop. Then before Hitmontop could even recover, Poliwrath picked him up and used a heavy Submission on him. The combo of moves instantly made Hitmontop unable to fight any longer.

"We won, Poliwrath!" The Trainer of that Poliwrath was very excited after his win. With this, they have won seven consecutive victories.

Ash also clapped repeatedly out of respect for the great battle between two Pokémon Trainers. This Poliwrath was very well trained by his Trainer. His arm muscles looked very strong and compact, his fighting will is also very good, he responds to the commands very quickly, and his movements are even crisper compared to others of his kind that he saw before!

"Okay, is there anyone else who wants to fight against me and my Poliwrath?"

Hearing this, Ash and his team understood that this is the person that had privately owned this ring here to battle the passing Trainer.

"I want to battle against you!"

Ash walked out directly between two other guys, "Stand by for battle, Tyrouge!"

Tyrouge is currently the Pokémon that Ash is most keen on training with him, and for this reason he delayed Rhydon's evolution.

Now Tyrouge was no longer the naughty kid he used to be when he first caught him. Under his guidance, he has become a good kid who is humble, polite, and willing to endure hardships to get stronger.

It has never met a Trainer like Ash who is willing to spend so much effort to train and be with him . He will always fight with all its strength for the Trainer that is working so hard for him.

It is precisely because of this that its compatibility and Bond Values ​​have increased extremely quickly. Even though he has already reached more than 200, the growth rate is much faster than other Pokémon belong to Ash.

It has a huge amount of potential to tap onto, and this is why Ash is willing to put more thought into it than others.

"Lets go, Tyrouge, use your Mind Reader!"

This chain tactic has become his and Tyrouges go to set up at the beginning of their battles, because if his most powerful High Jump Kick misses the opponent, it will cause huge damage to itself when it falls to the ground.

The move Mind Reader can greatly increase the hit rate to ensure that the small Tyrouge can effectively attack his opponent.

There is a more powerful combination of the move Mind Reader, which is using a move like Sheer Cold that instantly knocks out the opponent with one hit. This move can greatly improve the hit rate of Sheer Cold and others to completes the real kill.

But the only Pokémon that might have this combination is Articuno.

So Ash is also determined to catch that magical frozen chicken to try out his theory!

Tyrouges golden pupils shrank suddenly at Ash's command, and he firmly grasped every movement of the opposing Poliwrath.

"What? Poliwrath, use Double Slap!" The Poliwraths Trainer named Delaney saw Ash using such a move, and immediately asked his Pokémon to attack quickly.

However, Tyrouge relied on his small and flexible skills to easily avoid the attack of the big and bulky figure of the Poliwrath, and suddenly crashed into its arms.

Then there was no need for Ash to command anymore. The spiral-shaped belly of the Poliwrath seemed to be a target for by his Tyrouge. Tyrouge was so fierce that he hit him with a flying knee and then kicked him in the center of the belly up in the air!

The Poliwrath was immediately hit hard and hit in his most vital part, causing it to fall to the ground!

"Poliwrath, get up!" Delaney hasn't given up on his Pokémon yet. He doesn't want to give up his hard-won seven consecutive victories, and he knows that his Poliwrath doesn't want to give up either.

Thanks to Delaney's words from the sideline, Poliwrath struggled but finally stood up again.

"I knew you could do it, now use Water Gun!"

As almost forget that in addition to being a Fighting-type, that Poliwrath also has the Water-type. After the previous contact, Delaney immediately realized that the Tyrouge in front of him was very good at melee combat, and it was difficult for him and his Poliwrath to take advantage of this.

So he decisively chose to use long-range attacks and launched a Water-type Special Attack.

"Then we will use Double Team!"

However, Ash and his Tyrouge have created a safe plan to deal with distance Special Attacks like Water Gun. And that is the move Double Team that makes the opponent unable to distinguish the real from the fake unless trained in that!

The Water Gun only hit one of Tyrouges clones, and then the Poliwrath was surrounded by Tyrouge and all his clones.

"Lets try out the new move you learned, Mega Kick!"

This is the new move that Tyrouge recently learned from his partner, Annihilape. He uses a powerful kick to attack the opponent. In Ash's opinion, this is one of the better attacks suitable for his Tyrouge.

At Ash's command, Tyrouge leaped forward and kicked up a sudden kick. He relied on his whole body's strength and the momentum of his fall to amplify the power of this kick to the extreme!

"Poliwrath, get out of the way!" Delaney also clearly saw the power of this move, but although his Poliwrath wanted to dodge, but he couldn't because he was too injured from all the previous attacks!

The Poliwrath was finally kicked away by Tyrouge and completely lost his ability to fight any longer!

"Look at how Tyrouge won the battle! It's so awesome. That Mega Kick was so strong looking!" The people around him were even more excited than him to see a battle like this.

Seeing that everyone around him was very excited, Ash grinned. He had not encountered any places that could be beaten away by him recently. And because of that, his Exchange Points are accumulating very slowly, but he was finally able to exchange for ten ordinary Pure Z-Crystals!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will also take this opportunity to set up a battleground here for a day. Is there anyone who wants to challenge my Tyrouge?"

There is no need to set up any prizes. Looking at this small but powerful Tyrouge, many Trainers want to try the challenge to beat him.

"I'll do it!" The Trainer released a Machoke, and the battle began.

It went smoothly at first, but as the battle continued, with Ash and his Tyrouge winning nine consecutive victories, they finally fell into a hard battle.

"The final blow, High Jump Kick!"

Finally, the opponents Machamp was knocked away with the powerful leg attacks. Ash and Tyrouge won ten consecutive victories. It was very exhausted and no longer had any energy to fight anymore.

Unexpectedly, Delaney hasn't left yet, "Ash, you are a really strong Trianer. If you want to battle, I recommend you to go to the Battle Park outside this town and try it out! There are all kinds of Pokémon there, you will definitely like it there."
