Capítulo 238: 238. Dam Broken
"By the way, Mr. Swampy, we just met a relatively large Mudkip. Is that one of the Mudkips that your took care of when it was growing up?"
Brock asked about the adult Mudkip that heroically rescued its little companions and then was rescued by Ash later.
Although Ash had already made some guesses in his head, he was also planning to ask Mr. Swampy again for confirmation. He will definitely try his best to find ways to catch the Pokémon from the Royal Starters group as they are always very reliable.
Sure enough, Mr. Swampy replied with the word that Ash was largely hoping fore, "No, that one is just a wild Mudkip that managed to sneak in from somewhere else. He seems to regard the Mudkips here as his little companions."
"That Mudkip should be pretty good is he managed to gets here." Ash guessed out.
"He is a very good Mudkip, but he has grown too big and he also doesn't want any Trainers from what I have seen. He has such a talent but he wasting it all here." Mr. Swampy seemed to be very troubled by this. "And all of his companions here will be sent away sooner or later to their new Trainers, which means that he will no longer have any companions with him."
The Mudkips here are all Pokémon's that will eventually become the Starter Pokémons of many new Trainers and would be sent to various places around the Hoenn Region, so they all have the same level requirements. The level of this adult Mudkip is obviously too high and is definitely not suitable for beginner Trainers that are just beginning their journey.
There's no way they can control such a Pokémon all in their own.
However, Ash liked that Mudkip very much, "The little Mudkip was in danger just now, and the older one put on a good show on how he fought without fear of his very own safety. I hope to catch him, is it possible, Mr. Swampy?"
"Of course that's ok with me!" Mr. Swampy certainly agreed fast.
During their chat just now, he unexpectedly learned that Ash was actually a high ranking member of the League Headquarters.
Mr. Swampy, who worked for the Hoenn League, immediately had a great impression of Ash because of this.
At this moment, an alarm sounded from the restricted area. Someone must have broken into the entrance from the other side, the main entrance.
The ones who appearf there at that time were of course non other than two humans and one cat.
May suddenly became excited, "Okay, let's see what events the May Expedition Team will encounter next!"
The group quickly followed Mr. Swampy to the entrance on the other side, and Ash had noticed that the big Mudkip in the grass beside him and stopped.
The Team Rocket Trio can be left to Brock and May to deal with. Catching his second member of the Hoenn Region Royal Starter was his main business, the Water-type one.
Speaking of which, Ash had caught a lot of Water-type Pokémon since he traveled to this plane to existence. He had already formed a full team of very powerful Water-type Pokémon before. Now that his trip to the Hoenn Region had just begun, he was already preparing to catch his third Water-type Pokémon so far.
And every one of his Water-type Pokémon is very powerful. If Misty could have such a team, the road to becoming a Water-type Pokémon Master would be much more smoother.
Unfortunately for Misty, she just didn't have the same amount of luck as Ash or his drive to become even stronger than what he already is.
"Little guy, how about becoming my partner?" Ash got straight to the point and extended his hand for the invitation directly.
However, Mudkip took a step back slightly, probably hesitating whether to continue to stay here with the rest of his own species or to join a new Trainer who had left a very good impression in front of him.
Brock and the two inexperienced siblings followed Mr. Swampy to the main entrance, only to find that the fence had been very much destroyed and the main mechanism for the alarm had been removed completely.
The intruders were obviously none other than the famous and lovable Rocket Trio.
"Team Rocket, why are you trying to do something like this again?" May stood up and asked.
"Do these kind of things? Are they bad people?" Mr. Swampy became anxious when he heard this. "No, if the dam over there are destroyed by them, the water in the swamp will be overflowing, and all the little Mudkip babies will be washed away by those currents!"
After saying this, Team Rocket suddenly understood that in fact, they just followed Ash and his group and broke into this place by mistake. They really didn't expect to encounter such a random but thing thing.
"Mudkip, I heard that those are some very rare Pokémon's!" James obviously had the best knowledge about different Pokémon's out of his group.
"Thanks to you twerps, we know know how to execute the plan and capture all these Mudkips here!" Jessie also came up with a plan to take advantage of the moment to take away all these baby Mudkips.
The most important thing is what Meowth noticed around, he quickly said his observations, "It seems that the little boss is not here, meow! This is perfect for us!"
This was the best thing that happened to them after who knows how long. They were actually close to doing a plan that will be successful, or will it?
Hearing the speeches of the Rocket Trio, Brock and the other two were dumbfounded, 'Just why did he have to talk so much!'
Mr. Swampy seemed to have come to his senses and quickly covered his mouth, "I'm so sorry. My wife often reminds me of this habit of mine. This is my personality, I can't hide my words! I swear it on the great Ray Ray!"
James has already started to take his action, "Cacnea, use your Pin Missile!"
However, Cacnea, who was very fond of his Trainer, James, gave him a big hug as soon as he came out. The spikes all over his body stung James's body, but he didn't try to break free from it.
Instead, he waited for it to hug him for a while, then let him broke away from by himself. Then Cacnea's Pin Missile was launched, destroying the very weak dam at once.
From then onwards, the large amounts of water poured into the swamp, and the water level rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Brock and the other three suddenly became anxious and quickly thought of ways to block the water, "This is very bad! Why isn't Ash here with us right now?"
Ash was in the swamp at the moment. He was very happy to leave the Rocket Trio to Brock and May to deal with, but he didn't expect them to not be able to hold them down because of someone telling them everything they needed to know.
But soon he noticed that a large amount of water was coming towards the swamp, "Why can't I ever get a break. I can't even send them to one of those maximum security prison because I need the points they give out, life is so hard." Ash murmured to himself.
"Dratini, Aron, I need your help!"
"Dratini, use Blizzard to build an ice wall to block the water flow! Aron, use Rock Tomb to help build the dam again!" All Ash has to do right now is to block the water from joining with the mainstream current and prevent it from flowing into the swamp tributary!
But even so, the water level in the swamp was still rising at a rapid pace.
"Everyone, com out and stop this!" Ash summoned all of his current Pokémon's at once.
"Corphish, you and Mudkip go to the water to help all the baby Mudkips to evacuate together from the area. Taillow, you go and search for any lone Mudkips. You must not miss any of them, we need them to be all alive!"
With his Dratini and his Aron making some resisting to the flood, the water here was not as strong as before. Mudkip and Corphish worked together to quickly bring all of the baby Mudkips here to a higher elevation hill.
However, just when Ash and his Pokémon's were breathing with a sigh of relief, Taillow suddenly began to hover in the sky.
Only then did Ash realize that a Mudkip baby had been washed into the mainstream water by some strong current from the other side and was about to be washed down the waterfall.
"Bad news, there's another lone one out there!"
A blue light flashed on Ash's body, and he rushed over there with a single stride. Mudkip was even more braver than him, jumping straight into the water, following the current as hard as he could to get to save the baby Mudkip, and holding it by biting it with his mouth!
"Very good, Mudkip, now hold on tightly!" Ash ran to them, with a pink light shining across his eyes, he used his Psychic to fish them out of the water safely.
All the Mudkip babies gathered together, and the adult Mudkip stood next to Ash. They turned to look at Brock and others coming from upstream, as well as Team Rockets robot.
"Ash, Team Rocket caught a lot of the bang Mudkip!" Max immediately found Ash for help.
"No problem…" Ash smiled with a look of resignation, "Pikachu, you haven't done anything yet. You know the drill."
Pikachu turned into a yellow flash and rushed over. With a single Iron Tail, he rescued all the baby Mudkips that were in the cage, and then sued his signature Thunderbolt to blow the Rocket Trio away.
"TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"
"WOBBUFFFEEETT!"
The entrance dam has been solved by Brock and the others, and the flood passed away soon after that.
Ash looked at the adult Mudkip, took out one of his Poké Balls and raised it in front of him.
"We can be true partners if you decide to join me!"
Looking at Ash and his Poké Ball, Mudkip didn't hesitate much at all, he stretched out his paw and activated it.
