章節 202: 202. Failed Capture
"It's up to you, Dratini!"
May has just embarked on the journey, and she is just a beginner after all, so she is not yet able to get used to walking such long distances without a break in between, so her speed was much slower than Ash.
In order to take care of May, Ash decided to slow down and walk slowly while training his Dratini to evolve into a Dragonair.
"Dratini, wear this!" Ash also brought a Macho Brace for his Dratini to wear. Even the slippery Dratini with its long serpent body was very much restrained.
"Wow, Ash, your Pokémon's are so cute!" The image of Pikachu and now this Dratini immediately touched May's heart, she particularly liked the cute small Pokémon's.
"Not only are they cute, they are also very powerful!" Ash corrected her with a smile.
May had an idea and took out her brand new Pokémon Pokédex she just got from Professor Birch and scanned Ash's Dratini. "Dratini, the Dragon Pokémon. Dratini is known for continually molting off its old skin. It does so because the life energy within its body steadily builds to reach uncontrollable levels. This Pokémon is extremely rare, and is known to live in deep clear water bodies."
"The Dragon Pokémon?"
May was shocked by the information she got from her Pokédex, "Is this a really such a rare Pokémon?"
"It's really rare and it took me a lot of effort to catch him!"
Ash really put a lot of effort into Dratini. He took the opportunity to make a request to Lance and select it himself. And finally, he had a fight with Dragonite before he was recognized and caught this very young Dratini which knew Extreme Speed!
May looked at the boy she was holding, "Are you really such a very powerful Pokémon Trainer?"
"I'm not that strong, it's still far from completing my goal!" The stronger he gets, the more modest and restrained Ash becomes, or at least he "tries" to be, "Hey, look over there, May!"
What was in front of the two of them at this moment was a small Azurill. Its cute appearance instantly captured May's weak heart. "It's so cute, I want it, I need it!"
With that said, she was about to take out her Poké Ball and throw it out, "I know you should use an empty Poké Ball when catching a Pokémon, right, Ash?"
Seeing May throwing the Poké Ball directly towards Azurill and taking it inside, Ash was also a little confused. Did May really think that she was in Pokémon GO?
But it's still funny to think about this. When his past self first set off on his journey, he did exactly the same as the May did in front of him. Fortunately he got to know Misty who helped him understand some of the basics of Pokémon catching.
While the red light was still flashing on and off, May was already cheering for herself, "Great, I have captured my very first Pokémon!"
However, the very next second, the Poké Ball directly opened and the Azurill came out, and this little guy was very angry after being suddenly hit by a ball.
Anyone who is suddenly hit in the head by a ball and then locked into a strange space will definitely be angry.
This is also the reason that catching Pokémon through battles became a thing in the first place. Now that past Ash has become a much more mature Trainer that knows most thing about capturing a Pokémon.
Looking at the startled May, Ash couldn't help but laugh, "May, to catch it, you need to first fight the Pokémo to weaken its strength before throwing your empty Poké Ball! Or you could try to befriend it."
This is the most basic explanation Ash could give her. Now May only needs to know this before finding her own way!
After hearing Ash's sudden reminder, May remembered that her father and her school had taught her the same thing but she just didn't pay attention to it. After her inner thoughts, she immediately threw out her Poké Ball, "Torchic, I need your help!"
However, she didn't know what kind of moves her Torchic could use, and Torchic hadn't adapted to any battles just yet. When May began robhesitate, it walked towards the angry Azurill.
Azurill led it to a big tree, and the little Torchic bumped into the tree. There really is a Pokémon for every Trainer.
"May, you can't panic right now, your hesitation and panic will be conveyed to your Torchic!" This is the second very important suggestion given by Ash to her, "Hurry up and use your Pokémon Pokédex to know what kind of moves your Torchic can use!"
Hearing this, May nodded and looked at her Torchic, "Torchic, are you okay?"
However, Torchic didn't hear May's voice. It was very annoyed when it hit the tree and chased after Azurill again.
May forced herself to calm down, and while following her Torchic, she took out the Pokémon Pokédex to check the skills her Torchic could use.
What kind of moves can a beginner Torchic use? It's just Tackle and Growl that many Pokémon can learn. It hasn't even leaned how to use Ember properly yet. Besides, since it is a chicken after all, there is also a the Flying-type Peck.
But then May felt a little confident, "Okay then, Torchic, use Peck!"
The wild Azurill was easily able to avoid the attack with the bounce of its tail, Torchic closed his eyes and pecked at the tree trunk behind Azurill.
It took him a while to react, and when he saw Azurill at the side, he chased after it again. After chasing it until they reached a river, Torchic became much more furious and used his unskilled Ember in the direction of where Azurill was escaping towards.
When May chased after them, she discovered that something was wrong. It turned out that the Azurill had companions with it. Torchic's move directly hit a Marill and a Azumarill.
Now they were all very angry. May has no idea of subduing this Azurill anymore. These are Water-type Pokémon in front of her, and their attack effect on Torchic is very high because of Torchic's low defense.
Now they have to save Torchic from getting a beating!
She had just reacted when Azumarill and her Water Gun were already spraying towards Torchic.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
Ash has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and Pikachu's reaction was much faster than his own. He immediately landed in front of Torchic, and the rushing lightning blocked the Water Gun fired by the Azumarill.
"Pika!"
Its cheeks shone with some sparks, and this the Azumarill immediately became frightened and fled away with her group.
May quickly picked up her Torchic. Seeing that it was okay, she quickly thanked Ash for his help, "Ash, thank you, Pikachu, you are very awesome ther!"
"Pi~Kachu!"
Seeing Ash's strength, May was even more sure that her decision to join him was a very wise one.
May's first try to catch a Pokémon through battle did not go so smoothly. Ash and May continued on the road and soon arrived at Oldale Town. The first thing they did was of course to go to the Pokémon Center there.
Ash finished logging in for the Hoenn Ever Grande Conference, but May seemed to have not yet made any decision yet.
"Professor Oak, I have arrived at Oldale Town!" After completing these tasks, Ash immediately dialed the number of Professor Oak in the phone booth.
"Yeah, that's great!" Seeing that both Ash and Pikachu were in good spirits, Professor Oak felt relieved, "A new adventure is about to begin, right?"
"Yes, I will work hard on this!" May had been standing behind Ash, and then suddenly interrupted, "My name is May, hello!"
Professor Oak had seen the beautiful girl behind Ash just now, "Hello thee May! I am Professor Oak from Pallet Town!"
May had already put her face in front of the screen, "I know, I know! I often listen to the broadcast of your lectures with my little brother! If my brother knew that I talked to the famous Professor Oak he will definitely be very jealous!"
It can be seen that May admires Professor Oak very much, "I have become a Pokémon Trainer and have been traveling for only a little while. Please give me your advice!"
Even Professor Oak couldn't stand May's enthusiasm, and Ash could see the sweat drops on his face, "It seems that Ash will make lively new friends soon! Ash, you two have a good trip!"
"By the way, are you done with the Ultra Balls that you had with you? I have a few more here for you to use!" Professor Oak suddenly looked at Ash with some eagerness in his eyes.
Of course he knew what kind of Pokémon Ash has previously caught using his Ultra Balls. Now that the Ash's three Legendary Beasts and his Zapdos had settled in his Laboratory backyard, he and Tracey had specially prepared an ideal environment for them to live in.
The two Eon siblings have been hiding by the waterfall in the backyard. Latias and Latios occasionally teleports all over to get used to their new environment.
Hearing this, Ash said of course, "Yes! The more the merrier! And Professor Oak, don't forget the reward you promised. It already took you so long to prepare, so it must be a big reward for me!"
"Haha, just wait and see!"
