Bab 136: 136. Piloswine

Ash was not angry when he heard that Pryce did not approve of his actions.

Everyone has a way of getting along with their Pokémon. Ash regards Pokémon as a friend and partner, a close family.

After obtaining the Bond System, he gained a deeper understanding of this during his journey. Because of this, he gained the respect of Professor Oak and the appreciation of Lance, and was even regarded as a strong opponent by him.

But he has no right to require all Trainers to be like him, just like how he doesn't think Pryce can deny his feelings and ties with his Pokémon.

"It's no use talking anymore, let's go and fight!" Ash threw his Tyrouges Poké Ball without any excuses or anything.

What could be more appropriate for a conversation between Pokémon Trainers than a battle?

"Okay, then let me correct your misguided thinking!" Pryce responded, "Come on out, Dewgong!"

The momentum of this Dewgong is very powerful, and there are waterfalls and flowing water here, which is environmentally beneficial to it.

"Is there any way you can defeat my Dewgong?"

Misty became happy when she saw it was Dewgong, "Ash, Dewgong is a dual Water and Ice-type Pokémon, which is very beneficial to your Tyrouge!"

However, Pryce also clearly heard this and said, "Pokémon battle strategies can only be of real value when the Trainer can accurately control their Pokémon!"

"That's true!" Ash smiled confidently and took the lead in launching the first attack, "Tyrouge, use Mind Reader!"

Tyrouges eyes suddenly shrank, and all of Dewgong's movements were clearly visible to him!

The next attack did not require any of Ash's order. It rushed directly towards Dewgong and was in front of it in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph! Dewgong, Ice Beam!"

This move Ice Beam is very fast and very powerful, one of the strongest Ice-type attacks. If such a close-range attack hits, Ash and Tyrouge knows that everything will be over for them.

Even Pryce himself thought that he had the chance to win this easily and was ready to declare his victory.

However, Tyrouge just dodged the powerful looking Ice Beam, and then kicked Dewgong hard with his flexible knee!

The Mind Reader move that he previously used is really useful for a Fighting-type Pokémon like him!

"Dewgong!"

Pryce couldn't believe the changes in front of him, it was just too quick. Tyrouge was unscathed, but his Dewgong was severely damaged.

He had to take Dewgong back before he could look at Ash again. For a moment, he fell into silence.

"Aunt Sheila, did something happen to Grandpa Pryce?" Molly whispered beside her.

Hearing this, Sheila asked in a surprise voice, "Molly-chan, how did you know that?"

"Just guessing, hehe!" Molly stuck out her tongue with one of her lest eye close while the right eye was open.

"Don't look at the current Pryce. He used to be a very cheerful person. Training his Pokémon was a very happy thing for him and his Pokémon's. He treated his Pokémon's like his family and friends!"

When Sheila started talking about his past, Pryce did not stop her. Instead, he took the initiative and said, "At that time, I thought I could understand Pokémon's heart just like you, Ash!"

"My Piloswine and I have won many battles together, but in a big game, an opponen used their Magmar to suppress my team, so I sent out my Piloswine on the field!"

"In the end, I lost the game and suffered severe burns from that Magmars powerful Fire attacks!"

When Ash and the others said this, their eyes bulged up. At Pryce's time, Trainer could also be harmed by a Pokémon's attacks if not carefully.

But obviously, Pryce's story is not over yet!

After losing the game, both Piloswine and Pryce were seriously injured. But just when he was feeling guilty about the failure of the battle, Piloswine walked into the heavy snow alone.

"Piloswine, he left the seriously injured me behind and left alone!" Pryce suddenly raised his voice, as if retorting to Ash, "From then on, I no longer treat Pokémon as my friends, but strictly train them without the same feeling!"

"Did you ever look for your Piloswine?"

Ash suddenly asked Pryce a very good question with a loud voice.

"You? What did you just say to me?" Pryce was suddenly shocked by Ash's burst of momentum.

Ash looked straight at Pryce, "Have you ever looked for it? Your Piloswine was seriously injured and ran into the heavy snow. What you were thinking was that it was going to leave you because of a single defeat? Even after all those times that you guys were fighting together!"

"Is this the so little amount of trust you have in your most trusted partner? At that moment, you were only disappointed with it, but you didn't have any worries him at all!"

Ash took his Tyrouge back and stood in front of Pryce.

"What are you talking about? Of course I went to look for it, but the heavy snow covered Piloswine's traces, and more than ten years has gone by, and he never came back to me!" Pryce was also very loud with his words!

"So, you think he must have abandoned you and found another Trainer that was more powerful than you?" Ash Aura continued to rise, his Aura was so high that even the regular Sheila was able to see it clearly. In his opinion, there must be another reason why Piloswine left in the heavy snow all of a sudden.

"Wait!" Aunt Sheila rushed up and stood between the two of them, "Stop arguing, this will get you nowhere!"

After Pryce and Ash's emotions finally stabilized, Sheila turned to Ash and said, "Ash, what exactly do you want to say?"

Ash breathed out, "I think there must be other reasons why your Piloswine left! For example, seeing how severely burned you were, Pryce, he braved the heavy snow to go out to find you some herbs to treat your burns, or something along the line!"

"Piloswine has a very good sense of smell. There are many people in Johto Region who train their Swinub's to find hot springs, so this speculation should be very reasonable!"

"As for why Piloswine didn't come back for so long, it should be..."

Ash suddenly paused, and his next speculation was obviously bad news for Pryce!

However, after hearing his words, Sheila and Pryce's eyes lit up at the same time, "If it is that, that means he must be at that place!"

As he said that, the two of them rushed deep into the forest together.

"Ash, what are going to do?" Misty and Brock quickly came to Ash's side.

"Let's go there too, follow them!" Ash hugged Molly tightly, "The forest here is very dense and there are no real mountain roads. You two must follow me closely!"

Ash's Aura power has a powerful detection capabilities, and by relying on his Aura power along the way, they have never intentionally lost their way.

Soon, they followed Pryce and Sheila to a cliff valley, "I've been here once or twice, and all kinds of herbs grow in this valley!"

In other words, according to Ash's speculation, Piloswine was probably looking for herbs for Pryce and accidentally fell into the depths of the Valley and has not returned yet!

Sheila quickly took out a rope, and sure enough, the group found the big anklet deep in the valley!

"Piloswine was really here!" Pryce hugged the anklet in his arms, his whole body trembling, "Ash, you were right, I was wrong, and I have been so wrong for so many years!"

"Let's find Piloswine first before continuing on with this!" Ash walked in one direction, where he sensed a weak but alive Aura.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Piloswine was still alive. It was frozen in the ice at the bottom of the valley, and it still holds the herbal plant for treating burns in its mouth!

Bab 137: 137. VS. Pryce

My class has begun so I was unable to make a chapter during the day, so here it is now.

————————————————————

"Piloswine! My dear Piloswine! You really did come to pick herbs for me. I'm such a fool."

When Pryce finally realized his mistakes over the years, if Ash hadn't woken him up today, he would still have stubbornly believed that he had been betrayed by his most trusted partner!

He couldn't help but kneel in front of Piloswine, "I'm sorry, Piloswine, I was a big fool! That's why I misunderstood that you betrayed me! Forgive me, Piloswine!"

Before repenting, Piloswine still needs to be rescued from the ice.

"Gyarados, come on out!"

The restored red Gyarados appeared in front of Pryce, but he was a little shocked. "Is this the red Gyarados that wreaked havoc in the Lake of Rage yesterday?"

"Gyarados, use Scald!" Ash didn't immediately answer his question.

Compared to using flames to melt the ice, using Scald is obviously gentler on Piloswine. Flame itself is harmful to Piloswine, and now Piloswine can no longer withstand so much damage after being stuck in teh ice for so long.

Scald's is powerful because it sprays boiling hot water at the target. Although it is a Water-type skill, it has a temperature that can sometimes cause the opponent to have a burn. Another thing is that Pokémon that are in the frozen will be released from it after being hit.

Piloswine was quickly rescued from the huge block of ice, but he still couldn't move.

"Pikachu, use Thunder Shock on it!" Ash has already ordered his Pikachu to use Thunder Shock for first aid more than once on his journey.

Under Pikachu's Thunder Shock, Piloswine was finally awakened from its long and deep slumber.

Even after all these year, he still remembers Pryce's smell, meaning it also recognizes Pryce as its Trainer after so long!

After a night's rest in Pokémon, Ash finally got his chance to fight an Official Gym Challenge!

Pryce has been with Piloswine since he rescued it, hoping to make up for the shortcomings over all those years. It can be seen that although it has been a long time, the bond between Pryce and this Piloswine is still very high, something he wants to accomplish with all of his Pokémon's.

"This is the battle venue of the Mahogany Town Gym!"

After Ash and his party arrived, they were warmly welcomed by Pryce and Sheila. Pryce had a smile on his face again after so long, he was no longer the strange old man who was unsmiling.

This is mainly an Ice-type battle venue. The venue is covered with a thick layer of ice, and there are many icicles placed irregularly on the field. There is only a small pool in the center of the venue, which can be used as a place for Water-type Pokémon to stay.

How to fight in such a battle field is the first question that the challengers who come to the Mahogany Town Gym must think about.

Aunt Sheila serves as the referee, which means she is actually an Official Referee certified by the Johto Region Pokémon Alliance.

"Then the Official Gym Battle begins now, with only two Pokémon being used by each of the two Trainers!"

According to the rules of a Gym Battle, Gym Trainer Pryce must be the first to send out Pokémon, so he threw out his Poké Ball.

"Go, Dewgong!"

This Dewgong should have been Pryce's previous Trump Card after he lost his Piloswine. Now that his Piloswine is back, he has already become a part of the starting lineup of Pryce! As a Water-type and Ice-type, Dewgong quickly moved to the pool in the center of the field as soon as he comes out of his Poke Ball. In that place, if he wants to attack it, it will more difficult than if it was on land or the ice in thsi case.

Not to be outdone, Ash said, "Stand by for battle, Tyrouge!"

It's Ash's Tyrouge against Pryces Dewgong again, but this time in such an ice field which heavily helps Pryces Dewgong in how he moves and how strong he is. How Tyrouge defeats this Dewgong again all depends on Ash's strategy!

"Ash, I do apologize for what I said before, but you can never win with just passion alone! You also need the power to back it up!" Pryce thought that Ash was just showing off and deliberately used his Tyrouge to fight Dewgong again without analyzing the current situation!

However, Ash is no longer the past Ash who would most likely have done that!

Ash sent out his Tyrouge because of his Fighting- type, which has super effective on Pryces Dewgong, and he can also move much easier than his other Pokémon's in this ice field.

"Tyrouge, use Mind Reader!"

Seeing this, Pryce smiled as if he expected this, "Dewgong, use Ice Beam!"

This time the Ice Beam was much faster than the one in the previous battle, but Tyrouge had already dodged to the side before the Ice Bema even left Dewgongs mouth!

In front of Pryce and his Dewgong's eyes, Tyrouge suddenly disappeared.

"Double Team!"

Dozens of Tyrouges suddenly ran out from behind an icicle and surrounded the entire pool area in the middle!

"Pryce, do you have a way to detect my Tyrouges movements?" Ash smiled confidently. Previously, Pryce said that he must maintain certain boundaries with his Pokémon. Otherwise, he will not be able to see the actual battle clearly because of his feelings for his Pokémon and the repercussions it comes with.

Now, Ash challenged Pryce in front of him in his own game!

"Dewgong, use Aurora Beam on all the Tyrouges!"

Dewgong suddenly splashed out of the water, and the amazingly powerful Aurora Beam did hit the Tyrouges, but the clones quickly reappeared after disappearing, and Pryce was unable to guess Tyrouges movements!

Ash was ordering his Tyrouge to slowly chip the health of Pryces Dewgong until he saw his golden opportunity.

"The final blow, High Jump Kick!"

Now that Tyrouge was leaping in the air, it was Ash's best opportunity to attack. He immediately ordered his Tyrouge to launch his strongest attacking move and pushed Dewgong away with one kick.

"Dewgong loses the ability to fight, Tyrouge wins this battle!"

Ash patted his Tyrouges head gently and said, "I'll leave it to you to try in the next game too, but don't take it too seriously or you might get injured in the middle of it."

Tyrouge nodded sharply to what his Trainer said, after all he too knew this.

"Then this is my second Pokémon!" Pryce threw out his second Poké Ball.

As expected, it was his Piloswine. It has the highest Bond Value with Pryce, and it is also the easiest to cooperate with even after all these years of not being together.

Sure enough, as soon as Piloswine came out, Pryce seemed to be several years younger, and his whole demeanor was completely different from what Ash previously saw.

"Piloswine, thank you for fighting along my side even after all those years! Now, use Blizzard!"

A very cold wind began blowing throughout the ice venue, mixed with solid ice chunks, and the chill was overwhelming! This freezing air instantly froze the central pool into ice, turning the venue completely into an ice surface.

Tyrouge put his hands in front of him, and soon his arms were covered with a layer of frost, he was about to freeze from the Blizzard!

"Move away!"

Ash did not issue a attack order this time, Tyrouge still listened to him in the middle of this powerful Blizzard!

It began to jump on its toes on the ice, bent over, looking directly at Piloswine in front of it, and kept making punching movements with its hands!

It let out a long breath, melted the snow and ice that fell on him with the constant movement, and then took the initiative to rush towards the Piloswine.

When encountering an enemy, you must draw your weapon!

When we meet on a narrow road, the braver one wins!

The Fighting-type is the type that is truly designed for fighting!

These words from Ash kept ringing in Tyrouges ears. It moved its body, pushing forward against the Blizzard, and then came to the front of Piloswine!

"Piloswine, use the Take Down!"

"Tyrouge, use Karate Chop!"

In that Blizzard, Piloswine and Tyrouges moves suddenly collided fiercely!

Tyrouge, who was too small, was knocked away directly, but Piloswine's huge body was also kicked back several meters!

"Tyrouge loses the ability to fight, Piloswine wins this battle!"
