Chapter 3: 3. Casey
"Totodile is so cute, I really want to catch one!"
At Professor Elm's Laboratory, the lively and somewhat silly Totodile suddenly captured Misty's heart.
As a water-type Pokémon trainer, Misty should be said to be very dedicated. Except for Togepi, which was a gift from Ash in a way, all the water-type Pokémon she trained were caught by her.
In comparison, Brock, the former leader of the gym in Pewter City, seems a bit unprofessional.
He has caught many Pokémon other than Rock Type.
"Misty, there are many interesting water-type Pokémon in the Johto Region, such as Chinchou, which is a water-type and electric-type Pokémon!"
Ash said casually.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, both Misty and Brock looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Misty looked at him in surprise, "Ash, you actually know the water Pokémon in the Johto Region?"
"Speaking of which, when you saw Totodile just now, you said Totodile's name without taking out the Pokédex!" Brock also reacted.
Hearing this, Ash also had a wry smile on his face. It seemed that the impression of being a idiot could never be erased from the hearts of these two companions.
"Can't I just study? Misty, I've grown a lot!"
After hearing Ash's answer, Misty thought about it carefully and nodded, "You really seem to be different during this time."
Especially, in that forest, the name Ash called out, "Suicune"!
"Pickup!"
Pikachu seems to have found something.
Sure enough, in front of the three people, a little girl wearing a yellow baseball uniform appeared, commanding a Chikorita.
"Is that okay? This is the 100th battle. It is the decisive round, so we must not lose!"
"Come on! Come on! Chikorita!"
"Come on! Come on! Chikorita!"
The Chikorita was flapping the leaves above its head, and it looked like it was training.
This little girl is carrying Chikorita, indicating that she should be Rookie Trainer who has just started traveling from New Bark Town.
Professor Elm did say that Chikorita has been chosen already.
"Look it's a Chikorita!" This is the three grass-type royal families of the Johto Region.
"That girl put a headband on Chikorita's head!" Misty noticed the headband on Chikorita's head.
This scarf is also a special item for increasing the intimacy with their Pokémon.
Just then a Rattata jumped out in front of the little girl and Chikorita.
"Chikorita is the starting pitcher, and the batter is wild Rattata! Chikorita can make Rattata completely miss and strike out!"
"Chikorita, decide the outcome with a straight shot! That's it, use Tackle!"
This command makes Ash feel a little embarrassed. After listening to you say so much, Rattata didn't run away or launch an attack. There was no one left.
Chikorita rushed towards him, but was easily avoided by Rattata.
But Casey was not discouraged, "The first throw was a bad one, but Chikorita still has a second chance!"
"Chikorita, use another Tackle!"
Without saying much this time, Chikorita turned around and charged forward again, knocking Rattata out of her ability to fight.
"Success! Rattata was defeated by Chikorita's direct attack! It's time to be captured now!"
Casey seized the opportunity to throw the ball and decisively catch Rattata!
This little girl was really full of energy. After she caught the Rattata, she actually sang a song of victory, which made the three jelly filled donut-eating trio watch in confusion.
"Come back, Chikorita!"
After taking back Chikorita, Casey quickly noticed Ash and his group behind him.
Especially Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.
"Ah~~~~~~"
Casey screamed and rushed to Ash, looking at Pikachu in surprise, "It's Pikachu! Is this the real Pikachu?"
Then she hugged Pikachu over, "You feel so nice and it's all yellow and black!"
Then, Pikachu's Thunder Shock shocked her to being charred.
"I live in New Bark Town, the names Casey, who aims to become a Pokémon Master!"
Casey also said that she likes yellow Pokémon the most, and it is her dream to form a team of all yellows.
After Ash and his group introduced themselves, Ash proposed, "Casey, as a trainer who also aims to become a Pokémon Master, let's fight!"
"Very well, in the world of Pokemon battles, there is no difference between Rookie and veteran experience! I accept the challenge and will beat you!" Casey accepted the challenge enthusiastically.
"Then, the number of Pokémon used is limited to three! The battle begins!"
"This is my top hitter, go ahead, Pidgey!" Casey threw the Poké Ball first.
Seeing Pidgey, Ash felt quite nostalgic, and didn't know how Pidgeot, who was released by his past self, was doing now.
If he hadn't already arrived at New Bark Town when he took control, he would definitely go to Viridian Forest to find it back.
"Over to you, Snorlax!"
Boom!
Snorlax's huge body crashed onto the grass, this Snorlax had been conquered during his journey to the Orange Islands.
This is a flexible strong Pokémon who can also swim and is very reliable.
After systematic testing, the compatibility between this Snorlax and Ash is directly at the top, and the bonding value is also very high.
"Snor Snorlax!"
Snorlax stood upright and looked very energetic, although his eyes were always squinted.
But the appearance of this big guy scared Brock and Misty.
"Ash, Casey is just a Rookie Trainer. Why did you use Snorlax as first Pokémon? The level difference is too big!"
"Also, why is Snorlax awake?"
Of course, Ash knew that Snorlax had woken up through Aura and the bond they share, so he chose to send it out.
"Pidgey, use Quick Attack!"
The little bird flapped its wings and swooped down, hitting Snorlax without feeling anything.
"Headbutt!"
Snorlax's head knocked the bird in front of him to the ground.
"You did your best! The next batter is, the great Rattata!"
Casey sent out the newly conquered Rattata, "Rattata, use Tackle to beat the opponent into pieces!"
However, Snorlax didn't react at all to Rattata's impact.
"Body Slam!"
Snorlax suppressed Rattata with his belly.
"Casey, come on, don't give up until the end!" Ash on the other side encouraged Casey.
"Of course, I will never give up! The third hitter is it, Chikorita, using Vine Whip!"
Chikorita used the Vine Whip to hit Snorlax hard.
"Good, come on! Come on! Chikorita!"
"Come on! Come on! Chikorita!"
Casey is cheering Chikorita on.
But Snorlax remained motionless and felt quite comfortable, so slowly that he actually fell asleep.
Chikorita was exhausted, and it was obvious that Casey lost.
"Come back, Snorlax, and sleep well!"
Ash watched Casey take Chikorita back and said with a smile, "Casey, don't be discouraged. Your favorite Electabuzz team has lost so many times, but they still keep working hard, don't they? Be like them!!"
"Yes, you are right! Let's fight again next time, Ash!"
Of course, Ash purpose is also to exchange points. Even little bits count.
Now Snorlax's food can be redeemed from the system using redemption points.
Snorlax: 130/255
