Chapitre 45: 45. Bug Catching Contest
"Catch the bugs! Catch the bugs!"
The two girls in the group, Molly and Misty had completely different reactions. Molly cheered on Houndoom's back all the way to the National Park. While Misty was scared out of her mind and made her look even cuter.
She seems to like this kind of activity.
"Ash, the Bug Pokémon you mentioned is Scyther, right?" Brock Ash very well and said.
Hearing this, Ash nodded, "Yes, the two Scizor we met before are both cool, strong, and they fit my fighting style very well!"
In fact, Ash and his party had met Scyther before, more than once when they were traveling.
While on the Orange Islands, Tracey also helped and caught an old Scyther.
But unfortunately, the previous Ash was not able to catch one because he was a knucklehead. Now that he has traveled in this world, of course the current Ash wants to train a cool looking Rec Scizor!
Think about it, when Scizor evolves, it will no longer be the angular mechanical Mega Evolution, how cool and awesome will that be!
Ash only has the System Shop. No matter how precious and rare the items are, it is just a matter of paying a few more of his hard earned points. He could totally catch a Scyther here and have it evolve into a Scizor later!
"Brother Ash, can I go in with you in the competition?" Molly asked, holding Ash's hand.
"Then let's ask the staff about this!"
At the entrance of the National Park, there are staff members wearing Venomoth costumes.
"What's the prize for the winner?" Since he is aiming for the championship, of course he have to ask if the winning prize is nothing, there's nothing wrong with it!
"The winner can get luxurious items, and the Bug Pokémon as the prize!" the staff said.
In other words, if you win, you can take home the captured Bug Pokémon!
The perfect prize for Ash here!
"I want to sign up for the Bug Catching Contest. Can my little sister go in with me?" Ash asked very nicely.
The staff member glanced at Molly, and with her hopeful eyes, he nodded in agreement, "Of course, but please take good care of her, because there are still dangers in the park!"
"I'm is not afraid, my Brothe is the best!" Once she heard that she could go in with Ash, Molly immediately became happy.
Of course, there are still dangers in the National Park. If nothing else, the group of Beedrill alone is enough to scare most of the Trainers participating in this Contest.
While leading Molly in line to register, Ash and his party met an old acquaintance!
Casey, the Rookie Trainer who once battled against Ash at the beginning of his Journey Journeys!
"Ash, Misty, Brock, long time no see. Are you going to attend the Bug Catching Contest? Me too!" After Casey noticed Ash and his group, she ran towards them, fast.
Her Chikorita still looks very energetic like the first time they saw her.
"After you left, Chikorita and I did a lot of special training, and we won many consecutive battles!" Casey must have experienced a lot along the way by the story she told.
"Casey, Chikorita, come and meet this Girl!" Ash said and threw out Bayleef's Poké Ball!
Bayleef's much larger figure appeared in front of Chikorita and Casey, and then she rubbed Ash's arm with joy and affection.
"Wow, it's a Bayleef!" Casey seemed even happier than Chikorita to see the evolved form of her best friend.
In fact, Bayleef's size is enough to carry Molly, and its body is more rounded, making it a more comfortable to sit on.
It's just that Ash just wants Houndoom to carry the Macho Brace for exercise and while letting it carry Molly for the duration of their travel, which is killing two birds with one stone. Additionally, Molly doesn't really mind this at all.
After signing up, Ash and Casey stood in the starting position, waiting for the competition to start.
The rules of the competition require that the Trainer can only use one Pokémon. Ash's partner must be Pikachu, so Ash can only hold Molly's hand and wait quietly.
Secondly, when catching the Bug Pokémon here, Trainers cannot use their own Poké Balls, but must use the Park Balls provided by the park for this Contest, and each person only receives one.
Unlike the Poké Ball's ability to be discarded and unusable after releasing Pokémon into the wild, this Park Ball can be replaced at will until the desired Bug Pokémon is caught!
Ash received a Park Ball and was picked up by Molly and held in her arms.
Molly likes Poké Ball very much. This is the romance of Pokémon Trainer and their future companions.
As the Host announced the start of the Bug Catching Contest, Ash turned around to say bye to Casey, picked up Molly on his back, and ran away.
"You're so fast, come on Big Brother, come on Pikachu!"
Ash doesn't even know how fast he is running now. Molly cheered on his back, after all, this is the same little girl who dares to ride Entei around.
After a while, Ash left all the contestants behind and then went into the depths of the forest!
"Brother Ash, do you want to catch Scyther?" Molly asked on top of Ash's head.
"Yes, if you finds it, you have to remind me fast!" Ash replied with a smile. Ash is not worried at all about whether Molly knows Scyther. Although she is young, she knows a lot of Pokémon, in-fact, more than some trainers!
"Yeah, I will look for it!"
Hearing this, Ash just grinned. Molly is really sensible for her young age.
In fact, he ran all the way because he had already detected the approximate location of Scyther. Deep in the forest not far ahead was a Scyther settlement.
At the beginning, the old Scyther whom Tracey conquered was the defeated leader of his tribe.
"Brother, there's a Weedle!"
"Molly, be careful when you meet Weedrill in the future. Hitting the small ones can easily attract a bunch of big ones!" As soon as Ash finished speaking, as if confirming Ash's words and deeds, a large number of Beedrills suddenly flew out from the tree tops and the bushes. .
"Brother, it's a Beedrill!"
Molly must also know how dangerous it is to see them in large numbers, her voice is trembling.
But Ash and Pikachu were not timid at all!
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu directly fired a cannon of his Thunderbolts, and all the Beedrills were paralyzed by electricity and fell down like Drake getting burned by Kendrick.
Ash ignored them and let them recover after taking such a huge amount of damage.
Casey said before that she likes yellow and striped Pokémon, and Ash believe she will like these Beedrills.
After crossing Beedrill's territory and passing several large trees covered with Pineco, Ash finally arrived at Scyther's territory.
"Brother, it's Scyther!" Molly stated the obvious.
