章 33: 33. Shiny
forest. . . forest. . . forest. . .
The vegetation in the Johto Region is very lush, and we already passed through a lot of forests during the trip.
After bidding farewell to Miki, after three days of journey, Ash and his party came to a dark forest again.
"Pika?"
As they walked, Pikachu, who was lying on Ash's head, seemed to have made some noble discovery.
"What's going on, Pikachu?"
Following the direction Pikachu pointed, Misty noticed a bird's nest box.
This is a nest box for bird Pokémon. Just like fishing, this is a technique for catching bird Pokémon flying in the air.
"It looks like it's a bird's nest box." Looking at the size of the bird's nest box, Brock said the obvious answer, "But it's too big to be a Pidgeys nest box, but it's too small to be a Pidgeot or Pidgeotto nest box! "
Brock's thinking was still limited to the Kanto Region, but he forgot that the Johto Region also had its own regional bird.
There was the Hoothoot they had seen with Gary before.
And the evolved form of Hoothoot is Noctowl!
I saw a Noctowl land in front of the nest box, tilted its head, and found that the nest box seemed a bit too small for it.
There seems to be a large number of Noctowl living in this forest.
Normally, Noctowl should appear at night, but the light in this forest is very dim, which actually allows these Noctowl to fly around during the day.
At this moment, a branch actually stretched out from the tree trunk under the nest box, driving the Noctowl away.
"Did that branch just drive Noctowl?" Misty couldn't believe her eyes. Could that tree have become a Pokémon?
Ash used his power over Aura to sweep the area to see what's going on. It was clearly a person disguised in the tree.
What a meticulous disguise, he must have placed the bird's nest box there.
"Hey, look!"
Ash, who had been looking at the nest box, made a new discovery. A very beautiful Noctowl appeared in front of the nest box.
That's clearly a Shiny Noctowl!
It is said that Noctowl is originally a Pokémon that appears at night, so its color is brown, so that it can better hide its figure at night.
However, Noctowl with such a bright color is as bright and dazzling as a flame at night, and ordinary members of the species will also often reject the Shiny Pokémon.
Such a Shiny Pokémon can live so freely in this forest and face a that man in the tree without any fear. Its strength and wisdom must be very powerful.
The shape of this beautiful Noctowl is a little smaller than the other Noctowl. This shape is just right for the nest box!
This bird's nest box is clearly prepared for it!
The man disguised on the tree trunk stretched out another batch of berries, trying to attract the beautiful Noctowl, but the Shiny Noctowl tilted its head, kicked the berries away, and then Tackled its head on the tree trunk.
The tree trunk trembled, and the man fell down from the tree.
Ash shook his head and stood up, "Noctowl, I challenge you to a battle!"
As a Pokémon Trainer, you should use one-on-one head-on battles to conquer a Pokémon.
Catching battles is the process for Trainer to get recognized by Pokémon!
"Nooo!"
Sure enough, this Noctowl had no reason to refuse an honest battle.
It just stood on the branch of the tree, tilting its head, waiting for Ash's Pokémon.
"Then it's up to you, Houndour!"
Ash sent out Houndour. After these days of training, this loyal Houndour should be evolving soon!
"It's a Houndour, who are you?"
The man who fell from the tree seemed to have fainted and only woke up now.
After seeing Ash actually sending Houndour, he screamed in shock.
Ash and his party no longer have the thought to ask what is going on, the battle is about to break out!
But immediately, Ash understood what was going on!
He saw the Noctowl swooping down from the tree, its big eyes glowing red, as if it had activated some skill!
"It's Hypnosis!"
Brock on the side quickly recognized this skill. A red light enveloped Houndour, but soon the red light exploded. As a Psychic skill, Hypnosis is completely ineffective against the Dark Pokémon, Houndour!
"This Noctowl has a special color. Its Hypnosis is also very powerful and if can make people hallucinate! I just keep suffering too much from its Hypnosis."
The Trainer who fell from the tree came to Brock and Misty and began to introduce the Noctowl.
Of course he didn't know that Ash, who was already aware of this fact, he might have forgotten almost everything else but he still deeply remembered this Shiny Noctowl!
"Houndour, Feint Attack!"
Noctowl's very strong Hypnosis was actually ineffective against Houndour, and it became panicked quickly.
It hurriedly flapped its wings to close the distance between it and Houndour again.
But Ash had already seized that moment and ordered Houndour to attack!
Houndour disappeared instantly and knocked it off with a paw slap.
However, this Noctowl also reacted very quickly. Just when it was about to hit the ground, it suddenly flapped its wings and knocked Houndour away!
"Aerial Ace?"
"Houndour, are you okay?!"
The Boss was knocked and flew more than three meters away, but he always maintained his balance and stared at Noctowl with his scarlet eyes!
It shook its head to show that it was okay.
Noctowl has regained his strength and is back in the treetops.
It tilts its head, and the angle of distortion is much larger than that of the ordinary Noctowl. This is what it looks like when it is thinking!
This Noctowl is also very intelligent!
The next second, it flapped its wings violently, and Air Slash fell from the sky, like bunch of sharp blades.
"Air Slash?"
Just because of the failure of Hypnosis, this Noctowl understood that it's Psychic skills could not have an effect on the black dog in front of him, so he turned to using its Flying skills!
Ash grinned, "Use Quick Attack to dodge, then use Flamethrower!"
Houndour roared, and the figure turned into a flash and disappeared in place. It has experienced hundreds of battles in the wild thus giving it strong intuition and instinct for fighting his opponents.
It narrowly avoided those Air Slashes, seized the momentary gap and jumped up. After getting as close as possible to Noctowl, majestic flames shot up into the sky.
Only Pokémon's like Houndour with a high bond value with its trainer can do such an action and respond to Ash's command.
"boom!"
Flamethrower swept away Air Slash and hit Noctowl with a bang!
"Now's the time!"
Ash seized the momentary opportunity. Even though the Noctowl was shrouded in the smoke of the explosion, he still accurately threw the Fast Ball that he got from Kurt!
This ball is suitable for Pokémon that can escape quickly.
The fast ball took Noctowl in and fell down in front of Ash.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
It just shook three times and then went out.
"I just got a Shiny Noctowl!"
He did his signature pose.
Noctowl: 120/225
Houndour: 175/180
