Bab 236: 236. Chill Day
"Everyone, this is our new companion, Corphish. Make sure that he feels the right at home with us." Ash introduced Corphish to all the Pokémon that he currently had with him.
"Cor! Cor Corphish!"
This Corphish used be a very self-centered Pokémon before, but unexpectedly it turned out to be quite well-behaved after being caught with real power. After the introduction, he came over to say hello to all the Pokémon on his own.
But he just didn't know hot to di it in a good way. All he did was wave his big pincers and knocked on all the Pokémon one by one on top of their heads. Ash's Pokémon were okay because of their increased defensive under Ash, but both of May's two Pokémon looked to be in so much pain that they screamed in pain and ran around the area.
Thankfully Ralts was still sleeping, so Pikachu didn't let Corphish knock on her head too.
May felt distressed and quickly held her Torchic and her Wurmple in her arms, asking, "What are you doing? Why would you hit your new friends the moment you see them? You knwo that's very impolite."
"No, May. You don't seem to get it." Brock explained to Corphish, "All he is doing is just saying hello to everyone."
If you were to look closely, you can still see that he was really happily smiling and waving his big pliers gently.
All in all, Ash now has a full team that he needs to train up.
After catching Corphish, Ash too noticed that he was indeed catching a lot of Pokémon recently, and he also clearly detected that the Pokémon Egg that came with Brock was also going to hatch pretty soon.
"Hey, May, why don't you eat?" Ash, who was excited about catching another new Pokémon, ate an extra bowl this time.
"This doesn't look like the usual you, are you feeling unwell?" Max looked at his sister worriedly, she is the one who will enjoy eating teh most when she encounters something delicious, and Brock was definitely a very good cook.
However, May just looked at her fa- small Wurmple and said, "Look at this, my little adorable Wurmple didn't eat even take one bite out of her food."
Wurmple is indeed in a mild wilted condition, as she usually want to eat all Torchic's food too along with her own.
She can't eat Ash's Pokémons food because she can't do anything to them and she doesn't like the flavor of the food that Brock gives out to his Pokémon's.
But this time, even if Torchic pushed all of his food over, Wurmple still showed no appetite towards it.
However, Ash softly comforted her, "May, you don't have to worry. This is simply the process of a Bug-type Pokémon like Wurmple."
"Big Bro, do you know what's going on?" Max asked quickly, acting more calm than May could.
May also looked up at Ash and Brock. No matter before or now, all she could do right now was to rely on her very experienced travel companions.
"Wurmple is like this because it is about to evolve soon. Max, you should have learned about how weaker Bug-type Pokémon's like evolve." Ash explained to them.
"I know, it turns into a cocoon first, and then it evolves into a Beautifly!" Max still knows a lot about Pokémon, and it doesn't hurt that Wurmple is such a common Pokémon.
"Really? So Wurmple, are you going to evolve soon? That's great, you're going to evolve into the cute and strong Beautifly!" May immediately became happy after hearing Ash's and Max's explanation.
"What the hell are you talking about!!" Suddenly, Jessie jumped out from the tall grass bushes from the side, "What do you think your Wurmple is? My Wurmple is a hundred times cuter than your Wurmple! No, a million times cuter than yours!"
"Team Rocket?"
Brock and the other three suddenly exclaimed. They never expected that Team Rocket would come out from such a close place out of the blue.
"Team Rocket, do you want to do something stupid again?" Max asked questionably.
"No, we are definitely not looking trying to do anything like that!" James quickly came out and explained, "We just followed you to this island and gave ourselves some time off from doing anything!"
In fact, Ash had noticed them after finishing his Gym Battle against Brawly. They were working in a store in the town to make some money.
Now that Team Magma and the Team Aqua are just having a small fights against the Legue and against each other. The whole of Team Rockets and the three of them also put these two mysterious organizations first before anything else in this new region, so they just followed Ash and didn't show up to cause trouble for him.
Perhaps seeing Ash and his group all talking about May's Wurmple today and May herself saying that her Wurmple is the best made Jessie very angry that she actually jumped out on her own.
"I'll show you that my Wurmple is the cuter one of them!" Jessie summoned her own Wurmple with a look of love on her face.
But no matter how much Jessie brags about her Wurmple, it still looks like an ordinary Wurmple, just liked May's one which also looked very ordinary, other than being a little fatter from eating all that food.
Ash doesn't dislike Jessie like this, in fact she was one of his favorite characters back in the day.
"Let me tell you something, you child, my Wurmple is different from yours. He is a going to grown into a celebrity! Look at him— Why are you glowing?"
As soon as Jessie finished speaking, her Wurmple was shrouded in a bright white light.
That is the Light of Evolution.
At the same time, the fat Wurmple on May's side also began to shine brightly in white.
"Sister, this light must be..." Max exclaimed, "It's really just like what big brother said, your Wurmple is about to evolve!"
The two Wurmples actually completed their evolution at the same time and turned into two cocoons that looked similar but different from each other.
The cocoon on May's side is wrapped in white silk, with only a pair of red eyes exposed to observe the surroundings. This is the Silcoon that can eventually evolve into a Beautifly. Silcoon had a very docile look to its eyes.
Jessie's cocoon is wrapped in lavender silk. This is the Pokémon known as Cascoon, that will eventually evolve into a Dustox. While Silcoons eyes looked docile, Cascoons red eyes looked more stronger.
Wurmple was known to have two evolutionary directions, and no one knows what it will evolve into before it evolves, it's all a matter of luck. Since it is completely random, the probability is half and half between these two choices, there isn't any known way to improve the chances to evolve into one of these two forms.
It should be noted that May's luck was indeed good, which is not surprising because she is part of the main cast. Her Wurmple evolved into a Silcoon, the one she wanted and needed.
Ash believed that Silcoon can evolve into a Beautifly before the Slateport City Pokémon Contest. This can immensely help May in her performance as this is going to be her first time at this.
Obviously, Jessie does not understand these basic knowledge. She must have thought that her "Silcoon" was really a future Beautifly, as she saw that even the color was brighter and prettier than the one in May's hand.
"Awesome, my Wurmple has evolved!"
Jessie and May both cheered together at the same time in excitement.
Ash looked at Jessie and smiled and said, "Jessie, the next Pokémon Contest will be held in Slateport City. I want you to use your talent there and see of you are up for the challenge."
"Slateport City? I will definitely win!" Jessie nodded immediately with a light blush. In fact, she had already participated in something similar to a Pokémon Contest before, but just for humans. Later, she joined Team Rocket, and her dream of becoming a famous celebrity was put on hold because of this.
Now it's time for her to pursue her dreams again.
At this moment, Corphish suddenly fell down. Ash immediately noticed the strangeness of his new partner, "Corphish, what's wrong with you?"
"It looks like he has a stomachache!" Brock made a judgment immediately after seeing the signs, "Asv, I suspect he has eaten something he shouldn't have."
"Hey, that Corphish is the one…" James suddenly seemed to have realized something about the Corphish.
"James, do you know what's going on with him?" Ash looked at James, hoping that he could provide him with some useful information.
"It's like this. When me and Meowth were resting on the coast not far from here, a Corphish suddenly jumped out and broke our parasol."
"Later, when we found out that the umbrella was damaged and a large piece of umbrella cloth was missing, we didn't care. We were just a little sad that the umbrella we were finally able to buy was in that state."
In other words, if that Corphish was the one that Ash had caught, then it is very likely that their umbrella cloth was eaten by it.
How can he digest that thing in the first place?
Ash was actually happy about that. He gently put Corphish's tongs on his hands and said, "Corphish, don't move. I'll take out the things for you."
They all saw a dark pink light flashing in Ash's eyes. His Psychic probed into Corphish's esophagus, and he pulled out a piece of cloth. After this, Corphish immediately felt much more comfortable, and even their shared Bond Value increased because of this.
He waved his big pliers with ease, and Ash shook his head repeatedly, "You can't eat anything like that so casually in the future."
As a combination of a shrimp, lobster and crab, why can't you be as worry-free as my adorable little Kingler?
