After subduing Pidegeotto, Ash released it from the Pokeball to treat the injuries it suffered from the battle with Pikachu, and communicate with yourself and Pikachu to increase intimacy.
"~Pidgeo~"
Pidegeotto didn't mind becoming Ash's Pokémon.
In fact, except for a few unique Pokémon.
Most Pokémon don't have much resistance to being captured by human trainers, as long as the human trainers treat them well after defeating them.
Compared to the wild they grow rather quickly with trainers training them.
This is also the basic reason for humans and Pokémon to establish a special coexistence relationship in the Pokémon world.
"Pidegeotto is surprisingly a good Pokemon, and Ash is really good at capturing Pokémon!"
Misty couldn't help but admire Pidegeotto as she watched him make a full recovery soon after being released from the Pokeball.
You know, when Pidegeotto was fighting, Pikachu attacked him with thunder.
Although it was not Pikachu's full strength, it is unbearable for the Flying-type Pokémon, which is already restrained by the Electric-type and has weak defense.
However, Pidegeotto quickly regained its strength despite the limited healing abilities of the Pokéball.
The greater factor can definitely be attributed to the excellence of Pidegeotto itself.
One could argue that catching a Caterpie was a stroke of luck, but capturing two Pokemons with good potential one after an other cannot be attributed to luck or an accident.
Ash is the real genius!
Suddenly, thick and choking smoke filled the place. At the same time, there are also familiar and embarrassing lines.
"To prevent the world from destruction."
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"Meowth! That's right!"
Surprisingly, it is the trio of Team Rocket, the second protagonist team.
"Team Rocket, aren't you supposed to be locked up in the police station?"
Misty exclaimed.
"How can a small police station trap such a cute and attractive villain like us? The little devil is very good. He managed to capture a new Pokémon."
"We're welcome then. The plan has been altered, and we must capture not only Pikachu but also this Pidgeotto."
"Yes, indeed. Meow~"
"Are you done talking?"
Ash interrupted several people's speeches.
"What's the problem with that little devil?"
"When you've finished speaking, please leave quietly."
Ash endured the embarrassing lines of the Rocket trio for a long time just to see if he could trigger any more tasks.
There was nothing in the end, and after the trio was released on bail, he probably wouldn't be able to get any more money if he sent them to the police station again.
In this case, let's make full use of them and blast them away.
"What do you mean by leaving quietly, Little kid?"
Jessie, who has never read anything and is illiterate, inquired as if she did not understand him.
"Stop asking, Jessie."
Feeling extremely embarrassed, James covered his face with both hands and tugged on Jessie's sleeve.
"He wants us to get lost, meow."
Meowth, a top student in the cat world, gave the answer.
"How dare you humiliate me, you little devil! Your actions are unforgivable. Ekans, Koffing and Meowth - come to me as well."
Jessie's fury reached a boiling point, leading her to throw even the weak Meowth into the battlefield with a sudden Kick.
"Pikachu, stop playing with them, use the most powerful Thunder attack to defeat them."
"And Pidegeotto, use Gust!"
Ash patted Pikachu on the shoulder and gave instructions to Pidegeotto who was eager to try.
"Pi~Ka~Chu~"
"Pidgeo~"
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"×3
The Team Rocket trio had not been Pikachu's Rival before, not to mention now that Pikachu had leveled up so many times and is much stronger than when he was at the Virdian City Pokémon Center.
The combined attavks of Pikachu and Pidegeotto directly blasted them out, leaving behind that classic line.
Ash didn't experience a significant sense of achievement upon defeating the Rockets once more.
In addition to lamenting that the trio is targeting Pikachu again, I just hope that I will encounter them less often in the future.
Well, the main reason is that no system tasks were triggered to obtain rewards.
If so, Ash still welcomes the trio to come and give away rewards.
Following their victory over the Rocket trio, Ash and Misty proceeded to advance further into Viridian Forest.
The Pokémon used to challenge Pewter Gym and to complete the reverse Attribute Master mission has not been captured yet.
The three Pokémon in Ash's hand.
Pikachu is Electric Type, Pidegeotto is Normal plus Flying Type.
For now, disregard Metapod as it currently lacks any ability for combat.
To put it briefly, there is no advantage in terms of Attributes when battling Nibi Gym's Rock Type.
Ash intends to spend some time in Viridian Forest, aiming to capture a Pokémon of either Grass or Water Type that has good potential.
Incidentally, make sure to level up Pikachu and Pidgeotto too.
There are not many leveling holy places with a large number of wild Pokémon like the outskirts of Viridian Forest.
If you miss this chance, you won't be able to have another chance like this.
There is no objection from Misty towards Ash's decision.
Before engaging in a Gym battle, it is typical for Trainers to make these necessary preparations. And she didn't dare to walk out of Viridian Forest alone without following Ash.
There isn't much else in Viridian Forest, except that there are a lot of Bug Type Pokémon.
She would be terrified by even one or two of them.
She can only feel slightly safer if she follows Ash.
[Pokémon: Pikachu, level lv25-lv28]
[Pokémon: Pidegeotto, level lv22-lv26]
Thus, for a couple more days, the duo lingered in Viridian Forest but were unable to come across any Water or Grass Type Pokémon that Ash truly desired.
On the contrary, the levels of Pikachu and Pidegeotto have been raised by three and four levels respectively.
People can't help but feel that Viridian Forest is worthy of being a holy land for beginners to level up.
Ash was thinking about walking a little deeper into the forest.
There are too many Bug Type Pokémon outside Viridian Forest, but other Attribute Pokémon are relatively rare.
As he was thinking in his mind while passing by a bush suddenly a young man dressed as Pinsir jumped out of the grass, with an insect net hanging from his back and a samurai sword in hand.
Without saying a word, he drew his sword and slashed at Ash Misty.
A slight frown formed on Ash's face.
Despite acknowledging that the Pinsir boy did not intend to cause harm, he could not tolerate such offensive behavior.
[Ding, trigger the system mission: Defeat the Pinsir boy in terms of personal force and Pokémon battle, and make the other party realize his mistake.
Mission reward: Golden Magikarp clue × 1, Magikarp evolution potion (use this potion to directly complete the evolution of Magikarp)]
