Kapitel 23: 23. Slowpoke God
Azalea Town
Although this is just a small town in the Johto Region, in terms of prosperity, it is completely different to Violet City.
The mountains are not too high, the town is quite famous, land is not too bad, just like Pallet Town in Kanto Region.
Even though Pallet Town is just a rural town, it is highly valued because it is home to the famous Pokémon Professor Oak. .
In this Azalea Town, there lives a Mr. Kurt, who can use special apricorn fruits to make Poké Balls with special functions.
Apart from this, it is also the location of the Johto Regions Bug Type Gym.
Ash's destination is exactly here, the Gym. He accepted Professor Oak's commission to send a special GS Ball to Mr. Kurt for investigation and figure out what it is.
But as we left the forest, the sun grew brighter and brighter as we walked closer to the town. As they walked on the road, they could see that both sides of the road were becoming more and more deserted, and the fields seemed to be dying by the lack of water.
It seems that it has not rained in this area of Azalea Town for a quite a long time.
"Bayleef, Quilava, you should also take a rest!" Taking advantage of such a bright sun, Ash of course wanted to train two Pokémon.
In sunny weather, the training effect is very good whether it is Bayleef or Quilava.
Misty, being the water type expert, threw her Poké Ball, "Staryu, please help everyone cool up!"
The Water Gun shot in the from sky brought a lot of coolness to everyone. Bayleef will definitely feel better after being nourished by water after being exposed to the sun.
Ash did not take a break with Misty or Brock, but just took some water for Quilava to drink.
You can't use Water Gun because it will damage the Fire Type, Quilava.
After a sufficient rest, Ash and his party walked into Azalea Town in high spirits.
It hasn't rained for so long that the river has dried up. Moreover, due to the continuous drought, Azalea Town began to implement limited water supply, and most public places were temporarily closed, including the Azalea Gym.
Therefore, Ash and his team decided to go to Mr. Kurt's place.
Slowpoke can be seen everywhere in this small town and seems to have formed a symbiotic relationship with the residents. Ash and the others walked carefully.
"According to the introduction in the travel brochure, people here respect Slowpoke very much and follow this unique tradition that make Slowpoke thier god". Brock read aloud.
According to reports, 400 years ago, Azalea Town experienced a more severe drought than this time. The sun was extremely strong, it was very hot, and there was no rain for a long time.
Just then, one day, a Slowpoke appeared and with a Yawn, which caused the clouds to darken and it rained heavily in an instant, saving the entire town.
Since then, Slowpoke has been worshiped as a god here, and the Slowpoke Well has been opened for the Slowpoke gods to reside in.
If you accidentally step on them, the whole town might rush out and fight you and the others.
But as soon as they reached the door of Mr. Kurt's house after asking for directions, the group was hit by a huge Slowpoke!
"Pikachu, stop!"
Spark flashes on Pikachu's cheeks, which is just a subconscious action when it encounters a sudden attack.
Ash quickly stopped Pikachu and then noticed that this was not a Slowpoke, it was just a person wearing a large Slowpoke costume!
"Ouch, my waist!" Sure enough, an old voice appeared from the doll costume.
Ash and Brock quickly helped the man up. After all, this was the Pokémon world and they were not worried about being blackmailed by the old man because he got hurt.
"Uncle, are you okay?" Ash asked with concern.
This "Slowpoke" shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay, I don't have time to do it now, so I'll say goodbye for now!"
As he said that, he was about to stand up and run out, but the collision just now caused it to reach his waist, and the pain made him unable to move, "My waist..."
"No, I have to go to Slowpoke Well quickly. I just noticed a strange sound in Slowpoke Well!" With that, he tried to run out.
Ash immediately carried him behind him and rushed towards Slowpoke Well.
"Young man, thank you!"
Arriving at the bottom of the Slowpoke Well, Ash and his party met an acquaintance again.
The Rocket trio must have heard that Slowpoke here can ash for rain, so they actually built another machine ,god knows how, and caught several Slowpoke inside!
"Team Rocket, it's you again!"
But this time, Team Rocket had no intention of fighting Ash and the others, so they used Dig with their and escaped.
"Don't even think about running away, bring the Slowpoke's back!"
Ash put the old man down and rushed out in one stride, but Team Rocket's machine Dig was so fast that he disappeared in an instant.
"Shot!"
Just when Ash was about to use his Aura abilities to track them down, a Slowpoke that was slightly larger in size came next to Ash.
After looking at him, Slowpoke suddenly let out a shout, and then all the Slowpoke responded.
Under the leadership of the big Slowpoke, all the Slowpoke began to walk outside and came to a high ground outside the well.
Ash and his party quickly took the old man out of the well, only to see that all the Slowpoke started yawning together.
It looks like it, but this is actually not Yawn, but the move, Rain Dance. It's just that to use them in such a large are, they needed to unite and use it together.
After a while, the weather that was still sunny just now suddenly became dense with dark clouds and heavy rain fell. You could hear the whole Azalea Town laughing and screaming.
The rainwater gathered together, poured into the well, and then poured into the large hole dug by Team Rocket, flushing it out at once.
After all, it is the Rain Dance used by dozens of Slowpoke. The amount of rain is really amazing. If it were not for the Slowpoke Well down here, I am afraid that Azalea Town will face floods just after the drought they were facing.
"Team Rocket, I won't let you off lightly this time!" As Ash finished speaking, Pikachu was already flashing with lightning, and a Thunderbolt could explode at any time.
Just when Team Rocket was panicking, the Slowpoke, which looked a lot bigger, suddenly appeared next to Pikachu.
This Slowpoke was able to command all the other Slowpokes just now, and it looked very different, with particularly bright intelligent eyes!
"Pikachu?"
"Pika!"
Pikachu seemed to have communicated with the Slowpoke, and he suddenly became pleasantly surprised. He looked at Ash and cheered "Pika Pika" again.
Pikachu's bond value was extremely high, and Ash immediately understood its meaning, "Very good, then... Slowpoke use Water Pulse!"
This Slowpoke's reaction was not like a regular Slowpoke at all. As soon as Ash finished speaking, his Water Pulse was activated.
The combined skill of water and electricity blew Team Rocket in to the sky at once!
"Team Rocket is blasting off again!!"
The Slowpoke captured by Team Rocket ran out one after another and gathered around the bigger Slowpoke.
However, the big Slowpoke slowly turned around and looked at Ash.
When the old guy wearing a Slowpoke puppet costume saw this scene, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "I didn't think that I was possible but you young man became recognized by the Great Slowpoke God. It's really amazing! I never thought I would be able to see this with my own eyes!"
"Young man, your name is Ash, right? Please catch this Slowpoke! It wants you to be its trainer!"
Catch Slowpoke?
Ash didn't think much, nodded quickly, and looked at the Slowpoke, "Then Slowpoke, welcome to the team!"
Throw the Poké Ball and it quickly subdued the Slowpoke.
After just a slight flicker, the Poké Ball went out.
Slowpoke: 130/180
