Chapter 235: 235. Corphish

"Big Bro, do you have any plans for today?"

In this picturesque bay, everyone has regained almost all of their energy, and now they are about to set off to continue exploring the rest.

Ash and his Pikachu had just finished washing, and his Ralts climbed on top of his head and fell asleep again, "Speaking of which, May, aren't you going to participate in the next Pokémon Contest? The next step is your first competition. You should train for that."

They have already planned to stay on Dewford Island for some more time. Than they will than go Slateport City via a boat to participate when the Pokémon Contest is finally ready to open for participants singing up.

So this period is the time where May really needs to seize the time to make adequate preparations for her first time.

Now her Torchic is still a young one who doesn't know anything about Pokémon Contest in the slightest, and her Wurmple is a just a greedy little caterpillar who loves to eat and nothing else.

There is not much time left for May to get ready for everything.

However, May looked very confident in herself. When she was asked by Ash or Max, she stood up and ran to the side, "Isn't the purpose of a Pokémon Contest to show the beauty and handsomeness of their Pokémon? Especially when it is released from the Poké Ball?!"

"That's the main scoring point method during the first round of the Contest, so I'm now practicing my approach to the show!"

She spun around in a circle, trying to show her charm, and then she threw two Poké Balls, "Everyone, come out!"

Torchic and Wurmple jumped out of the Poké Ball and stood on the ground in confusion, as if they didn't know what's happening, which is very much the case here.

Torchic looked around and seemed to feel that the new surrounding environment was relaxing, and he jumped up and down with joy.

Wurmple also looked around, probably hungry again for her third serving of breakfast.

Looking at their performance, May was more than a little embarrassed, "No, no, no, you have to turn around when you come out, like this, and then turn around... I told and showed you guys this so many times!"

While she was talking, she danced around to demonstrate. Unexpectedly, she couldn't stand still and almost fell down on the sand but Ash held her in his hand before she could fall.

She immediately blushed and then sheepishly smiled and said, "Thank you, Ash. And also sorry, it's not perfect yet. There is still to practice…" She said that but there wasn't much confidence in her voice anymore.

"It's nothing much. All you have to do is to continue your hard practice with your Pokémon's." Brock couldn't help but remind her that now since she had made a decision, but she is still very careless about preparations for the competition.

"May, that day at Trainer Academy where you went to that class for Pokémon Coordinators. Did you hear any of the key points when going on the stage?"

Ash and Brock were both a little confused at May's behaviors.

Although they didn't know much about how Pokémon Contests worked like, it was still very obvious to these two very experienced Trainers that May wasn't even ready to go on stage yet.

Now if she will practice from now on until the day of the actual Pokémon Contest, how will she do there?

"Hehe, the thing is that…" May smiled sheepishly.

At this moment, everyone noticed that their tent was moving! After a while, the nails fixed to the ground were suddenly pulled out, and their entire tent collapsed and was beginning to be dragged towards the sea.

"Nooo!! Out tent is being washed away, my clothes!!!!" Poor Max was not having fun today.

As soon as the tent collapsed, all their belongings also collapsed with it. Everyone quickly chased after it, only to see that their tent hit a tree and made a sudden stop.

The creature that was responsible for dragging down their tent went under and was readying to go into the water, "Looks like we have a troublemaker in our hands."

"Okay, Pikachu, let's deal with it first!"

Pikachu's speed exploded instantly, blocking it in front of him before he could go anywhere m. May also reacted after Pikachu stopped it, "Wurple, use your String Shot on it!"

May's Wurmple spit up a not so thick worm thread that stuck to it, and the mysterious assailant was also stopped immediately in its tracks. Ash and Pikachu also relaxed and slowly approached it, trying to understand what Pokémon it was.

Ash's whole body flashed with blue light, and he suddenly frowned, "Pikachu, get out of the way!"

A huge pincer suddenly shot up from where it was tied up. Pikachu heard Ash's order and was easily able to dodge smoothly, but even if he didn't here Ash's orders, he could have easily dodged the "slow" attack with his level.

The bad news wasn't that tho, the pincer retracted again and actually dragged Wurmple away.

"No, that Pokémon is much stronger than Wurmple!" Max exclaimed, his sister's little Wurmple is in immediate danger.

Ash took a long stride and chased after the kidnapped Wurmple. He grabbed Wurmple's worm thread with one hand, and his strength suddenly exploded. The creature suddenly seemed to be tied to something very hard, now he was unable to move.

'It almost feels like I'm Spider-Man, the good old days.' Ash smiled slightly, and his arms again became stronger with a light Aura boost.

A red lobster was forcefully pulled out of the beach by him. It was much smaller than the Crawdaunt that he had seen being used my that Team Aqua grunt back in Rustboro City.

This Pokémon is exactly what Crawdaunt looked like before it evolved, it was a Corphish.

The power of this Corphish made Ash feel very excited. He knew his own power very well. If he didn't take action immediately, he believed that it could have dragged Brock, Max and May into the sea with it.

"Cor! Cor corphish!" This Corphish seemed very angry, waving his pair of pliers in front of Ash very 'menacingly', trying to show off his power, which was quite funny to see for Ash.

This kind of Pokémon's are mostly self-centered around others and will drive other Pokémon's out of where they live and claim that land as its own territory.

Corphish looks like an ordinary lobster, but obviously much larger, but much cuter than the Crawdaunt with its five-pointed star on its head and scary look.

Ash smiled softly, "Sure enough, I gained a lot by coming here on Dewford Island."

"Corphish, I challenge you to a battle!" Ash threw his new Luxury Ball, "Lets get you ready for your first battle, Aron!"

This is the first time that Ash and Aron will fight together. Ash was also looking forward to know how this Aron, given as a gift by a Champion, will performe under his command.

Corphish waved his pliers with great fighting spirit, accepting Ash's challenge very happily.

"Ash, you have caught many Pokémon recently, haven't you?" May was a little shocked when she saw Ash's wish.

Ash at the beginning only had caught two Pokémon around him. In his previous journey to Johto, he had also caught many Pokémon's he needed but slower.

But now in the Hoenn Region, Ash had already caught several new Pokémon's and teleported many of them back several times. As for her, she still only had her two Pokémon.

Brock packed up all the scattered clothes because of Corphish's antics, but he was still tentatively watching Ash's battle that was about to start, and said with a smile, "Isn't the journey of a Pokémon Trainer the process of constantly catching and training Pokémon's? When Ash first embarked on his journey of becoming a Pokémon Master, he had caught his six full team Pokémon in a short period of time, and even teleported a Krabby back before he challenged the third Gym!"

"Aron, let's go! Iron Head!"

Ash took the lead in launching the first attack of their battle. Aron's armor-covered head shone with metallic light, and with a powerful kick of his little heavy feet, he crashed into Corphish.

The Corphish didn't dodge at all, and remained motionless, with only a metallic sheen flashing all over his body before being hit by Aron's Iron Head.

"It's the move Harden!" Max recognized this skill immediately because of how it looked, but he didn't expect that this Corphish was going to forcefully connect to Aron's Iron Head just to use this move.

He realized this pretty early on that the Corphish is definitely faster than Aron, so there wasn't any need to use this move. He could have simply dodged it, but he chose not to because of some sort of over confidence.

However, Corphish definitely underestimated and regretted his previous decision after he felt the power of Aron's Iron Head.

The Heavy Metal ability Aron hit him so hard that he flew several meters away.

Corphish landed on the ground, smashed hard on the sand beach, and was pushed far away before stopping because of the sand friction.

"Aron is so powerful!" May couldn't help but admire Ash's new Pokémon. She knew the power of the Corphish because of what he did, but she didn't expect that Aron could knock it away so easily.

Forcibly stabilizing his body, Corphish raised his large pliers towards Aron, and a fast Bubble Beam came towards Aron.

"Rock Tomb to block it!"

Under the collision, Ash already clearly understood the power of this Corphish. So that's why he had ordered his Aron to use his Rock Tonb attack to deal with the Bubble Beam.

Huge rocks fell from the sky, trapping the Corphish, and the Bubble Beam lost almost all of its effect in such a small space.

With the victory in hand, Ash clenched his fist and said, "Good job, Aron!"

The with a motion of closing his fists, a pink light appeared in his eyes and the huge Rock Tomb walls made by the his Aron to block Corphish fell apart in an instant.

The large amount of small rocks were smashed hard on Corphish's head, making him unable to fight any longer.

"Now, go, Poké Ball!"


Chapter 236: 236. Chill Day

"Everyone, this is our new companion, Corphish. Make sure that he feels the right at home with us." Ash introduced Corphish to all the Pokémon that he currently had with him.

"Cor! Cor Corphish!"

This Corphish used be a very self-centered Pokémon before, but unexpectedly it turned out to be quite well-behaved after being caught with real power. After the introduction, he came over to say hello to all the Pokémon on his own.

But he just didn't know hot to di it in a good way. All he did was wave his big pincers and knocked on all the Pokémon one by one on top of their heads. Ash's Pokémon were okay because of their increased defensive under Ash, but both of May's two Pokémon looked to be in so much pain that they screamed in pain and ran around the area.

Thankfully Ralts was still sleeping, so Pikachu didn't let Corphish knock on her head too.

May felt distressed and quickly held her Torchic and her Wurmple in her arms, asking, "What are you doing? Why would you hit your new friends the moment you see them? You knwo that's very impolite."

"No, May. You don't seem to get it." Brock explained to Corphish, "All he is doing is just saying hello to everyone."

If you were to look closely, you can still see that he was really happily smiling and waving his big pliers gently.

All in all, Ash now has a full team that he needs to train up.

After catching Corphish, Ash too noticed that he was indeed catching a lot of Pokémon recently, and he also clearly detected that the Pokémon Egg that came with Brock was also going to hatch pretty soon.

"Hey, May, why don't you eat?" Ash, who was excited about catching another new Pokémon, ate an extra bowl this time.

"This doesn't look like the usual you, are you feeling unwell?" Max looked at his sister worriedly, she is the one who will enjoy eating teh most when she encounters something delicious, and Brock was definitely a very good cook.

However, May just looked at her fa- small Wurmple and said, "Look at this, my little adorable Wurmple didn't eat even take one bite out of her food."

Wurmple is indeed in a mild wilted condition, as she usually want to eat all Torchic's food too along with her own.

She can't eat Ash's Pokémons food because she can't do anything to them and she doesn't like the flavor of the food that Brock gives out to his Pokémon's.

But this time, even if Torchic pushed all of his food over, Wurmple still showed no appetite towards it.

However, Ash softly comforted her, "May, you don't have to worry. This is simply the process of a Bug-type Pokémon like Wurmple."

"Big Bro, do you know what's going on?" Max asked quickly, acting more calm than May could.

May also looked up at Ash and Brock. No matter before or now, all she could do right now was to rely on her very experienced travel companions.

"Wurmple is like this because it is about to evolve soon. Max, you should have learned about how weaker Bug-type Pokémon's like evolve." Ash explained to them.

"I know, it turns into a cocoon first, and then it evolves into a Beautifly!" Max still knows a lot about Pokémon, and it doesn't hurt that Wurmple is such a common Pokémon.

"Really? So Wurmple, are you going to evolve soon? That's great, you're going to evolve into the cute and strong Beautifly!" May immediately became happy after hearing Ash's and Max's explanation.

"What the hell are you talking about!!" Suddenly, Jessie jumped out from the tall grass bushes from the side, "What do you think your Wurmple is? My Wurmple is a hundred times cuter than your Wurmple! No, a million times cuter than yours!"

"Team Rocket?"

Brock and the other three suddenly exclaimed. They never expected that Team Rocket would come out from such a close place out of the blue.

"Team Rocket, do you want to do something stupid again?" Max asked questionably.

"No, we are definitely not looking trying to do anything like that!" James quickly came out and explained, "We just followed you to this island and gave ourselves some time off from doing anything!"

In fact, Ash had noticed them after finishing his Gym Battle against Brawly. They were working in a store in the town to make some money.

Now that Team Magma and the Team Aqua are just having a small fights against the Legue and against each other. The whole of Team Rockets and the three of them also put these two mysterious organizations first before anything else in this new region, so they just followed Ash and didn't show up to cause trouble for him.

Perhaps seeing Ash and his group all talking about May's Wurmple today and May herself saying that her Wurmple is the best made Jessie very angry that she actually jumped out on her own.

"I'll show you that my Wurmple is the cuter one of them!" Jessie summoned her own Wurmple with a look of love on her face.

But no matter how much Jessie brags about her Wurmple, it still looks like an ordinary Wurmple, just liked May's one which also looked very ordinary, other than being a little fatter from eating all that food.

Ash doesn't dislike Jessie like this, in fact she was one of his favorite characters back in the day.

"Let me tell you something, you child, my Wurmple is different from yours. He is a going to grown into a celebrity! Look at him— Why are you glowing?"

As soon as Jessie finished speaking, her Wurmple was shrouded in a bright white light.

That is the Light of Evolution.

At the same time, the fat Wurmple on May's side also began to shine brightly in white.

"Sister, this light must be..." Max exclaimed, "It's really just like what big brother said, your Wurmple is about to evolve!"

The two Wurmples actually completed their evolution at the same time and turned into two cocoons that looked similar but different from each other.

The cocoon on May's side is wrapped in white silk, with only a pair of red eyes exposed to observe the surroundings. This is the Silcoon that can eventually evolve into a Beautifly. Silcoon had a very docile look to its eyes.

Jessie's cocoon is wrapped in lavender silk. This is the Pokémon known as Cascoon, that will eventually evolve into a Dustox. While Silcoons eyes looked docile, Cascoons red eyes looked more stronger.

Wurmple was known to have two evolutionary directions, and no one knows what it will evolve into before it evolves, it's all a matter of luck. Since it is completely random, the probability is half and half between these two choices, there isn't any known way to improve the chances to evolve into one of these two forms.

It should be noted that May's luck was indeed good, which is not surprising because she is part of the main cast. Her Wurmple evolved into a Silcoon, the one she wanted and needed.

Ash believed that Silcoon can evolve into a Beautifly before the Slateport City Pokémon Contest. This can immensely help May in her performance as this is going to be her first time at this.

Obviously, Jessie does not understand these basic knowledge. She must have thought that her "Silcoon" was really a future Beautifly, as she saw that even the color was brighter and prettier than the one in May's hand.

"Awesome, my Wurmple has evolved!"

Jessie and May both cheered together at the same time in excitement.

Ash looked at Jessie and smiled and said, "Jessie, the next Pokémon Contest will be held in Slateport City. I want you to use your talent there and see of you are up for the challenge."

"Slateport City? I will definitely win!" Jessie nodded immediately with a light blush. In fact, she had already participated in something similar to a Pokémon Contest before, but just for humans. Later, she joined Team Rocket, and her dream of becoming a famous celebrity was put on hold because of this.

Now it's time for her to pursue her dreams again.

At this moment, Corphish suddenly fell down. Ash immediately noticed the strangeness of his new partner, "Corphish, what's wrong with you?"

"It looks like he has a stomachache!" Brock made a judgment immediately after seeing the signs, "Asv, I suspect he has eaten something he shouldn't have."

"Hey, that Corphish is the one…" James suddenly seemed to have realized something about the Corphish.

"James, do you know what's going on with him?" Ash looked at James, hoping that he could provide him with some useful information.

"It's like this. When me and Meowth were resting on the coast not far from here, a Corphish suddenly jumped out and broke our parasol."

"Later, when we found out that the umbrella was damaged and a large piece of umbrella cloth was missing, we didn't care. We were just a little sad that the umbrella we were finally able to buy was in that state."

In other words, if that Corphish was the one that Ash had caught, then it is very likely that their umbrella cloth was eaten by it.

How can he digest that thing in the first place?

Ash was actually happy about that. He gently put Corphish's tongs on his hands and said, "Corphish, don't move. I'll take out the things for you."

They all saw a dark pink light flashing in Ash's eyes. His Psychic probed into Corphish's esophagus, and he pulled out a piece of cloth. After this, Corphish immediately felt much more comfortable, and even their shared Bond Value increased because of this.

He waved his big pliers with ease, and Ash shook his head repeatedly, "You can't eat anything like that so casually in the future."

As a combination of a shrimp, lobster and crab, why can't you be as worry-free as my adorable little Kingler?
