- 'Here, Muk, absorb this Toxic Orb.'
When Muk saw the Toxic Orb Ash handed to it, its eyes lit up. For a Poison-type Pokémon, the toxin Ash had refined was exceptionally pure.
_Stinky!
Adapt to this potent toxin as quickly as possible. Even for Poison-type Pokémon, this venom is terrifying. However, once you develop resistance, the benefits it brings are immense—it possesses corrosive properties.
_Royal Stink!
"Ash, this Arbok is:"
Brock looked at
the deep purple Arbok beside Ash with some amazement... while under Brock's surprised gaze, Suzy gently stroked the Arbok.
"Long time no see, Arbok. It seems Ash has been taking good care of you."
"Arbok ⊥_" (Long time no see)
Arbok nuzzled against Suzy and then turned its gaze towards Misty.
"Hello"
"Hello Arbok I'm Misty."
"Hello"
Seeing that everyone had greeted each other, Ash said, 'Next, Arbok will be traveling with us. I can rest assured leaving Gastly at home.'
Arbok took a break.
'Really? Then please take care of me from now on, Arbok!'
With that, Ash's Arbok joined the team.
---
Since the Grimers needed a Muk to manage them, the King Muk temporarily stayed in Black Cloud City to help. However, with Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny around, Ash could call for Muk's assistance anytime if needed. With Arbok's addition, Ash and his companions' journey became livelier. You stupid duck, stop making the trainer carry you! Get back in your ball!
"Me?"
"Get down" (Get down and walk yourself⊥⊥⊥mountain⊥)
Ash's Arbok kept trying to make Psyduck walk on its own. But this stupid duck wouldn't budge, making Arbok want to sink its fangs into it.
Suzy comforted Arbok, saying, 'Alright, Arbok. Psyduck has some issues with its head, so just bear with it.'
Arbok admits that Psyduck has a bit of a straightforward mind, but he has no intention of giving up.
'Come down, duck!?_?'
Boom L⊥⊥⊥
As soon as Arbok finished its cry, an explosion was heard. And
Arbok, Meowth, Chansey, Pikachu, and Ash instantly assumed battle stances.
"Was that explosion just now from an enemy?"
Arbok calmly observed its surroundings and then shook its head, while Meowth also finished scanning and said, 'Not enemies—seems like industrial mountain blasting.'
'Huh?' *4
Misty said curiously, 'Industrial mountain blasting?'
'That's right, meow! L used bombs to blow up the mountain—seems like it was for some industrial operation?
Suzy, hearing Meowth say this, asked somewhat puzzled, 'Huh? But I remember the league shouldn't allow something like this.
Right?'
'It's indeed not allowed, as it would lead to environmental destruction, and a Pokémon rampage is no joke.'
Hearing this, Brock couldn't help but ask, 'Then should we go take a look?'
'No, let those idiots suffer the consequences of their own actions. Let's go.'
Beep beep!
Just as Ash and his friends were about to leave, the sound of a car horn rang out, followed by a voice Ash knew all too well.
"Ash, get in!"
'Gary, what brings you here?'
Gary stopped his bike and looked at Ash's
Arbok, startling him quite a bit.
'I went to get you and you called Arbok over?⊥.'
'Yeah, with Haunter here, I can travel with Arbok now. By the way, what are you up to?'
'I received a request to find outstanding trainers for assistance. Could it be you weren't invited?' Gary looked surprised seeing Ash completely clueless about the situation, knowing full well Ash's combat abilities.
'No, we were just about to leave. But now I'm a bit interested. I'd really like to see what they need a Trainer's help for.'
'Really? If you join in, Ash, it would definitely be easier—but stay away from my girlfriends, got it?!'
Watching Gary act like he was guarding against a wolf, Ash felt speechless. Then he threw his arms around Misty and Suzy's shoulders and said, 'I have girlfriends, and it's serious—we're getting married!'
Being suddenly hugged by Ash, Misty and Suzy blushed slightly, but since Ash had already made things clear back at the Beauty Street, the two of them didn't feel too embarrassed.
'Just don't flirt with my girlfriend, and we're good...'
'Instead of worrying about me, you should be more careful with Brock.
.Bitter"_
Watching Brock already starting to fawn over her, Ash felt he should prepare for the 'bro squad.' Meanwhile, Gary took one look at Brock and said, 'Oh. Him. I'm not worried. My girlfriends wouldn't go for an uncle face like that. Let's go, Ash.'
'Yeah, let's go.' But Gary, we should be ready to throw hands, you know.'
