章節 265: 265. Electrike
I'm back from my rest.
From now on, no more chapters on the weekends.
Have a good day.
————————————————————
Mauville City was one of the larger city in the Hoenn Region, and can even be said to be the center of the whole region because of both their geographical location and their power as a city.
There was even a Game Corner and a very famous food court here, so it was natural that Ash and his party will have a good day here.
Especially the Mauville Food Court, also known as the Battle Food Court. There are many special snacks there, including special sandwiches, Magnemite grills, Mauville assorted noodles and other delicacies. It was simply a paradise for May.
In this way, Ash and his team moved separately again.
May wanted to go on her first date with Ash but he needed to do something else urgently, so she went to the food court alone to check it out for a later time when she and Ash could go together.
Brock, like always, was responsible for purchasing supplies for their small group.
Max, who always liked to follow Ash around, went to the Game Corner alone this time because Ash didn't want Max to interfere.
After the Gym Battle against Gym Leader Wattson, he went to the Pokémon Center to recover his Pokémon's health. He teleported both his Marshtomp and Lairon to train some more under their senior since both had completed their first evolution.
After Marshtomp completed his evolution, he started to be a little taciturn, but it is very common for Pokémon's personality to change after they evolve for the first time. As long as the compatibility and Bond Value continue to increase, Ash wasn't too worried about such small problems.
He ordered his Slowking to arrange the training program he made for Marshtomp to learn the Ice-type attack Blizzard. This attack is very perfect for Marshtomp and the future Swamppert, as their only weakness is the Grass-type.
Therefore, learning Blizzard can greatly expand its attack surface against them and also against many others. It should be very easy for Water-type Pokémon to learn Ice-type skills, however, Blizzard is one of the strongest Ice-type attacks so it can take some time.
Lairon was also going to train with his Tyranitar and Rhyperior, also along with his Phanpy, as he will start to learn how to use its extraordinary heavy metal body for both offense and defense.
Immediately afterwards, Ahs also teleported his Flygon and Absol back to the Lab for the first time.
Absol has the potential to become an excellent swordsman, so Ash lets him receive training from Scizor with Grovyle to cut some waterfalls created by his Suicune.
Ash also heard from his Slowking that his Grovyle is now able to slash waterfalls with one single slash, and has also learned a new move, Synthesis. It seems that the training he was experiencing was really tough. Ash was proud to see how his older Pokémon's were helping him train his newer Pokémon's.
So now, in addition to his Pikachu and Ralts, the Pokémon around him also include his Dratini who has completed his next molting, and his baby Torchic.
Ash wanted to bring his Growlithe too but he was too busy with Houndoom and Typhlosion.
After completing all this, Wattsons three Pokémon had also regained their energy after their beating from Ash's Pokémon's. With a hearty laugh, he came to Ash and patted him heavily on the shoulder, "Ash, is your Pokémon exchange completed?"
"Yes, it's done."
"Seeing as you are alone now, are you interested in visiting the place where I usually train? It's an abounded power plant." Wattson invited.
Of course he was interested, this is the place where wanted to come next. This is also the reason he decided not to bring his lovely May and Max with him todays
The abandoned power plant where Watson usually trains is on a small island outside Mauville City. It was once a famous power plant but it unfortunately later blew up, so it had now become the home of many Magnemite, Voltorb, and such Electric-type Pokémon's.
His Magnemite, Voltorb and Magneton, who was still a Magnemite when he first caught it were also be tamed here. Returning to train here, on the one hand, the electrical energy is diffused here, and at the same time, it can also relax the Electric-types, making training more effective with half the effort, litterly.
"Pika pi!"
Pikachu's cheeks flashed with electrical sparks. He really liked the environment here, it was almost the same as the actual power plant Ash had built for his Raikou and Zapdos to reside in.
That's right, Ash had built a small scale power plant just for his Zpados and Raikou to reside in.
Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulders and took Ralts to play nearby.
Since they were enjoying the area, Ash decided to simply release both his Dratini and Torchic to play.
Ash didn't realize that his Torchic missed him so much. As soon as he came out, he ran to Ash's side and began to rub his face against him. This was slowly increasing their Bond Value.
Judging from how he was now, it seems that he had been missing more because of the intense training Ash's other Fire-type Pokémon's were giving him.
Recently, he was training especially hard with Typhlosion because of a small rivalry between him and Ash's baby Growlithe. It was very hard to find relaxing moment at the Lab. Ash finally rescued him, so he was very grateful for this.
Ash just picked him up in his arm and found that he had indeed much stronger, he could feel the inside muscles were much stronger than the last time he held him. Although the the food at Professor Oak was not as good as what Ash usually exchange from his System, it was definitely excellent compared to the rest of the world.
Coupled with the incredible training from professionals, plenty of food and good nutrition, he had grown much more stronger than when he was first taken in, and he had already caught up with Mays much older and "experienced" Torchic.
But there is still some way to go before we can truly lay a solid foundation for his first evolution.
Ash doesn't want to experience the same thing as he did with his Charizard back then. Charizard had forced himself to evolve and ended up pathetically thin and short for his kind. If it weren't for his System and later the Macho Brace, plus all of his crazy training in Charicific Valley, he wouldn't have become what he had become today.
His current full power had now reached that almost of his Pikachu, with the power rivaling a Legendary Pokémon!
Suddenly, Ash felt something pulling his legs behind him. Ash hugged his Torchic and did not look back, "Pikachu, you need something buddy?"
Huh… that's not right.
Pikachu can jump directly onto his shoulders, and so can Ralts his and Dratini. So what is this?
Ash's body flashed with small blue light and he smiled immediately after it.
He put his Torchic down who then went around behind Ash's leg.
Turning around, Ash saw his Torchic confronting a light green spiky puppy.
"Oh, it's an Electrike!" Wattson noticed Ash's gaze and recognized the green puppy at first sight. After all, since he was an Electric-type Gym Leader, of course he had Electrike's evolution, Menectric, in his main team.
Seeing that Ash has noticed it, the little guy let go of Ash's trouser and gently rubbed against Ash's legs again. Then he was pushed away by Torchic, but he just seemed to not care and ignored Torchic to continue to rub against Ash again.
"Oh, that's great, Ash, it seems that this little one likes you very much, hahaha!" Wattson was truly happy for Ash, but also a little surprised. As an Electric-type Pokémon specialist, he knew what kind of feisty Pokémon Electrike really was.
Electrike are known to be able to generate static electricity through the friction between the air and their body hair, and then use the current to stimulate the muscles of their legs, thereby generating a powerful instantaneous explosive force and being able to run at a speed that cannot be seen with the regular eyes.
This is a Pokémon that prides itself on its very high speed, plus since it is an Electric-type Pokémon, so its compatibility with Ash is simply already very high.
Ash doesn't why why but he has a high connection to Electric-types. He had tried to ask this to his System but it also said that it wasn't aware of they this was the case.
Of course this didn't translate to having many Pokémon's of the Electric-type.
Wattson didn't know that although Ash didn't have many Electric-type Pokémon's, other than his Pikachu, all of the others were all real Legendary Pokémon's!
In terms of understanding and using the advantages of Electric-type Pokémon's, not even Wattson could compare to Ash and all the tactics he can came up with on the spot for them.
It's just that since it was an early Gym Challenge, Asg let his two weaker Pokémon's that were close to evolving battle. He just didn't let his Pikachu or someone like him to bully others.
"Although it's not cautious of people like they are known to be, it's without a doubt a little wild Electrike!" Wattson judged from all of his experience, "In this case, Ash, you can catch it! Hahahaha!"
Ash nodded as this was exactly what he had been thinking, "Then Electrike, do you want to come with me."
"Woof!"
Suddenly, Electrike took a step back, let out a low roar, and electric currents appeared all over his little body.
"It's incredible, it's awful, where did this little genius come from, hahahaha!" Wattson was stunned by the scene in front of him but then laughed it off. Electrike, who was very docile and clingy just now, suddenly became invigorated with fighting spirit.
Ash also felt this, this Electrike's level was high for its age, just like his previous Mudkip-Marshtomp.
"Torchic, I'll leave this to you!" Now there was only his Torchic around him, while Pikachu and his others Pokémon's seem to be exploring the once vast power plant.
"Elek!"
This Electrike looks up to the sky. Howled, and tiny electric snakes are flowing out of its body!
"It's the Charge skill!" Wattson certainly knew this skill as he too sometimes used it; this can increase the power of the Electric-type move it uses next.
Sure enough, Electrike then used his Discharge attack, and its power made both Ash's and Wattson's eyes shine.
"Torchic, let me see the results of your special training! Flame Charge!"
This is the skill that Torchic mainly focused on learning in Professor Oak Laboratory. Both Torchic and its final form of Blaziken are proud of their speed and physical power. This Flame Charge attack will continuously increase the speed and do good damage, which is perfect for it now and also in the near future.
The two humans saw Torchic turn into a decent size ball of fire, his speed suddenly increased by some margins, and he was easily able to avoid Electrike's fast attack.
Then, when he came to Electrike's side, a ball of Ember sprayed over him.
Ash's younger Torchic's combat performance was much better than May's one, who only knew how to run around. Now that Ash has exchanged for his Torchic back, May's Torchic's will definitely be more difficult than ever.
"Go, my Poké Ball!"
The Poké Ball only flashed twice before going out with a ping.
This is the first regular Electric-type Pokémon that Ash has caught besides his Pikachu, and it was also his fourth Electric-type Pokémon!
