Capítulo 168: 168. Research
Setting off from New Bark Town again like the beginning of their journey, but in Ash and his team was getting bigger and bigger.
In the beginning, it was just Ash, Brock and Misty, and then they were joined by the very young Molly during the whole Entei incident. And just recently, Ash had caught a Latias in the Water City of Alto Mare, and she has always been keen on following him in her human form aka in the form of Bianca.
Ash did not do any training for Latias just yet. The most important thing for now is that she and Molly had each other and they become very good friends. With her Psychic-type, she can also help Molly on her way, so Meganium doesn't have to carry her all the time on their Journey.
Latias can also use Safeguard, which helps everyone resist Jigglypuff's Sing even easier than before.
Now that his Meganium has been sent back to the Lab to train with Venusaur, they will both become a powerful force for Ash in the upcoming Silver Conference.
"Larvitar, Phanpy, let's go together! One, two, one, one, two, one!" Molly was so happy now, with one little cuties on her left side and while another is one her right side.
Phanpy has mostly been placed outside the Poké Ball by Ash since he was born, traveling with them. As a pure Ground-type, Ash believed that he should exercise a down-to-earth feeling and slowly accumulate the physical power needed for his future battles.
As for Larvitar, Ash didn't try to catch him at all. Pokémon from the Pokémon Reserve were not allowed to be caught by anyone, and now Ash no longer had any more energy or plan to train another Pseudo-Legendary so soon since he wasn't even halfway done with his current one.
So Larvitar can only walk with Ash and his group. Like Phanpy, this kind of walking can slowly exercise his still very young body to have better physical strength in the future.
Phanpy is a little newborn with a very kind-hearted personality and he also loves to take care of his little brother, so he was quickly accepted by Larvitar as his mentor, and now the two little guys have become more familiar with each other.
Molly seems to have a very strange quality. She can play well with all of Ash's Pokémon without having any issues that even Brock and Misty first faced when it came to dealing with some of Ash's Pokémon's.
This Larvitar originally only relied and came close to Ash in their travels, and then he would become stiff even if Misty or Brock came close to it, but Molly quickly made it accept her.
She is not afraid of any ferocious wild Pokémon in the face of danger because of her overwhelming belief that her older brother will make sure that she is safe.
"UR!"
Suddenly, a loud roar came from one side of the forest, and an Ursaring suddenly came out from behind one of the larger trees!
As soon as he came out, he grinned and looked very irritated, and even sent a Hyper Beam at the unexacting Molly!
Ash frowned, and just when he was about to take action, the little Larvitar who was stood in front of Molly, white light appeared all over his body, and countless light balls formed a halo around him.
"Is this?" Misty was stunned by the scene in front of her.
She saw that these light balls began to resist Ursaring's Hyper Beam without being penetrated at all, and then instead of taking the damage, he blasted Ursaring's own attack back at himself, knocking him away.
"This is the power of a newborn Larvitar's! It's already so strong really strong!" Ash said with a smile, "Even though he is still so small, he still has all that much power inside of him!"
He really does deserve the title of a being a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon!
Larvitar and Phanpy were both very young kids who already have a good amount strength, so they often mock battle rach other under the watch if Ash and his Tyranitar. So they have now created a very strong bond and understanding of the each others power.
Moreover, Phanpy has also been previously trained by Ash's Tyranitar before when Ash did switch for his Tyranitar from the Lab to do some basic training drills.
After knocking Ursaring away, Larvitar seemed to have discovered something and went into a few patch of tall grass.
"Hey, Larvitar, where are you going?" Molly seemed not to be nervous about the danger just now, and immediately followed Larvitar, and everyone had no choice but to follow those two.
But when they saw three steaming hot springs, and the many wild Pokémon that were bathing inside of them, such as Houndour, Sentret, and Sentret's evolution form, Furret.
Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and the mood was also very peaceful.
"Wow, it turns out to be hot spring here!" Misty was pleasantly surprised, "I love hot springs like these the most!"
"I wants to soak in the hot spring!" Molly took the first step and ran over, but suddenly she seemed to trip on a thin silk thread. Instead of falling over it, she just seems to tore the thread off.
Suddenly, there were sounds everywhere in the jungle, as if she had triggered some sound mechanism. Which it did.
"Entei, so you did show up!" Suddenly, a young man wearing glasses and holding a computer appeared from behind them from a nearby tree.
Upon hearing him calling her Entei, Molly was the first one to exclaim out, "Entei? Big Brother, where is Entei?"
Molly couldn't wait to see the real Entei, the Pokémon she admires and loves the most in the world!
Ash had previously said to her that he would catch all three of the Legendary Beasts, that of course being Suicune, Raikou and Entei. Now he had already caught both his Suicune and his Raikou. But along the way, there was no news about the Entei she wanted to see so much. How could Molly not be excited after hearing Entei's name after so long?
The boy who appeared showed a lot of disappointment when he saw that it was not Entei who triggered his alarm, "So it was not the Entei I wanted to see! Sorry and hello, my name is Nelson!"
After the group introduced themselves, Misty asked the question that was in everyone's mind, "Is the Entei you just mentioned the Legendary Pokémon Entei?"
Nelson decisively admitted, "Of course, what other kind of Entei is there. But I really mean it, I want to catch that Pokémon!"
"You want to catch an Entei?" Both Ash and Molly exclaimed at the same time, not because they met an opponent that was planning on doing the same thing as them, but because they got Entei's information after long last.
Sure enough, Nelson nodded, "I analyzed several places where Entei has appeared before, and my result showed that Entei will appear in this area the next time!"
The sound system he built that had just sounded now was waiting for that Entei to appear and to warn him of his arrival. Obviously, he could only guess the general area where Entei appeared, but he could not predict the precise location so he built his sound system around the whole forest.
"But this is already amazing!" Ash admitted, this is a Pokémon Trainer that has his goals and pursuits set in.
There are as many roads as there are Pokémon Trainers. But many of these Trainers stop before completing their goal, just like there are so many unfinished and broken roads in the world.
"That's because Entei is the Pokémon I long for the most!" Nelson also showed his admiration.
"Hmm, Entei is also my favorite Pokémon!" Molly raised her hands and shouted loudly, "Can we search for Entei with you?"
"Of course, I'm happy to go see it with you, but if I encounter it, can you please let me try to catch it first?" Nelson's performance was much better than the Trainers they met in their journey that just liked to cause trouble for the regular peoples. Ash and his party immediately agreed to Nelson's deal.
If Nelson can really catch that Entei, that's good for him. If Nelson couldn't, Entei would be caught by Ash instead, and he would be able to complete his goal.
"Thank you very much. I have specially prepared a sure-fire move to catch that Entei!" Perhaps it was because Ash and his group were so nice to him from the beginning that Nelson was willing to share his preparations with them.
"A sure-kill move?" Molly asked curiously with wide eyes.
Nelson looked at Ash, "If you fight against me now, you can see what I mean!"
"As you wish, this is something that I will never refuse while being a Trainer!"
Nelson confronts Ash for a battle, find out what happens next on the near chapte of Pokémon!
