Azalea Town, Mr. Oreburgh's home.
"By the way, what do you want to see me about?"
In the living room, Mr. Oreburgh sat in the main seat, and his granddaughter, the cute Stephanie Chie with twin ponytails, poured tea and water for both parties.
"It's like this. I came to see you on behalf of Professor Oak."
Ash politely explained his purpose.
As he spoke, he did not forget to look at the master who looked very serious and tough.
Well, in the original storyline, Ash accidentally stepped on Slowpoke's tail and was hunted by the whole town.
He is later rescued by Oreburgh, who is wearing a Slowpoke puppet.
Oreburgh then discovered that the Slowpoke in the Slowpoke Well was captured by Team Rocket's Solaceon, and wanted to go forward to stop it.
But he was defeated by Team Rocket's attack using the Diglett robot.
Fortunately, with the help of Ash and others, and after Slowpoke's Rain Dance flooded the well, the Rocket Force was finally defeated.
And now, even without the friendship of fighting the enemy together.
After hearing Professor Oak's name~~~
"What did you say? Professor Oak asked you to come?"
A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. When Professor Oak was mentioned, Mr. Oreburgh's expression became a little different.
The original sense of ease suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a serious expression on his face.
Seeing this, granddaughter Qianhui asked curiously: "Who is that person?"
"Chie, Professor Oak is an authority in the field of Pokémon research that no one can compare to!!"
Mr. Oreburgh was very serious in educating his granddaughter about science.
When he mentioned Professor Oak, his face was full of admiration.
Well, you really are worthy of being called the King of Great Hardships.
Ash silently admired it in his heart.
"Oh~~~"
Qianhui nodded in understanding, "But what do you want to ask Grandpa for help with such an amazing person?"
"That's right."
Xiao Gang then took over the conversation: "There is a mysterious ball that even Professor Oak cannot understand. We call it GS Ball..."
"That's it~"
Ash took out the Saffron-colored G·S ball.
"Um?"
Mr. Oreburgh took it carefully, held it before his eyes and examined it carefully.
"..."
He suddenly looked serious.
"Do you know this ball?!!"
"Would you please tell us where it came from? Please!!"
Misty and Xiaogang were cheered up upon seeing this, and they immediately leaned forward and pleaded.
"X-MER..."
Mr. Oreburgh nodded as he spoke, making the two men even more restless.
There I waited earnestly for the answer he would give.
Then~~~
"I don't understand it at all."
Mr. Oreburgh said it again as a matter of course.
Misty and Xiao763 Gang:
The two were shaken and almost fell to the ground.
Seriously, why are you so serious and solemn there?!!
They stared at Mr. Oreburgh in silence with subtle and helpless expressions.
"Sorry, this isn't the first time I've seen a ball like this."
Mr. Oreburgh felt embarrassed at being looked down upon and scratched his head to express his apology.
"Without careful investigation, there is no way to understand this."
"Don't worry, my grandfather will investigate and he will definitely find out!!"
Granddaughter Qianhui is full of confidence in her own grandfather.
"Then I'll leave it all to you, Mr. Oreburgh."
Ash knew the result and was just saying polite words.
Then, he found the telephone number of Mr. Oreburgh's home and called Professor Oak Laboratory in Pallet Town.
"Oh~ This is a call from Azalea Town Oreburgh..."
As soon as the call was connected, the familiar face of Professor Oak appeared on the screen.
"It seems that you have arrived at your destination."
He looked at the familiar trio opposite him, and a smile appeared on his face.
"And then, did you give the G.S. ball to Mr. Oreburgh?"
"I"
The trio nodded, "The ball is in his hands, but..."
"What's wrong?"
"I heard from Mr. Oreburgh that he hadn't seen the ball either."
"Yeah?"
"But he also said that he was going to investigate."
"oh?"
Ash:"......…
Professor Oak, you are not going to sing senryu recently. You are going to sing crosstalk instead, right?
And it looks like the supporting role in the movie. The supporting role is... Hey, I have to say, it's so authentic!!
"Then please tell him for me~~~"
Fortunately, Professor Oak still prefers Chuan Liu and no longer talks about crosstalk:
"If you find anything, let me know immediately."
"We know…
The trio nodded there, and then saw the screen~~~
"Bedo~"
"Guji~!!"
Muk appeared from the right and pushed Shi Tianbo down.
Kingler came over from the left, placed the cooked instant noodles on his table, and then left as if he had seen nothing.
"Muk, I'm on the phone!!"
"And, Kingler, don't go, help me!!"
Professor Oak was struggling hard on the screen.
Threesome: "...
They were also speechless for a while. Well, this is also Professor Oak's signature program.
"Anyway, no matter what, I feel much more relieved that Mr. Oreburgh is willing to help with the investigation..."
Professor Oak pulled away as best he could.
"Professor Oak, is Mr. Oreburgh really that great?"
Misty and Xiaogang were a little confused.
The unreliable performance before did leave a slightly deep impression on them.
"You really don't know?"
Professor Oak was quite surprised to hear these two people ask:
"Mr. Oreburgh is a skilled craftsman who specializes in making Pokémon balls using round orange fruits.
"Round tangerine fruit?"
"I remember there was one in Mr. Oreburgh's yard."
Inside the yard...
"Could it be that one?"
Misty looked through the window and saw a big tree full of white fruits in the courtyard outside.
"The Pokémon balls made from round orange fruit are different from the Pokémon balls you usually use."
Professor Oak was still explaining: "It also has many characteristics."
"If possible, you can ask Mr. Oreburgh to make some special Pokémon balls for you... Hulu Hulu~~~"
After saying this, Professor Oak took a few sips of the instant noodles Kingler had brought over.
Then~~~
He seemed to remember something and raised his head suddenly:
"By the way, Ash! Where are the Pokémon from the Johto Region that you captured?!!"
Professor Oak didn't even care about the instant noodle soup at the corner of his mouth, and he kept spewing:
"Gary has already sent me a lot of Pokémon from the Johto Region!!"
"But what about you?!!"
"I've been in Johto Region for so long, and they didn't even send me a single Pokémon?!!"
"Are you still a qualified Trainer in this state?!!"
"I have high hopes for you, and I am looking forward to the Pokémon you send me!!!"
"Hurry up, Ash!!!"
Xiaoli could only nod in response to Professor Oak's output:
"They are catching it, they are catching it~~~"
It's not easy to encounter a good Pokémon.
Especially after he already had many powerful Pokémon, Ash's vision, goals and requirements were further improved.
Unless it is a Pokémon like Heracross and Cyndaquil, which not only have strong talents but also have excellent effect items.
Otherwise, in Ash's opinion, he is not worth conquering.
Finally, the conversation ended with Professor Oak eating instant noodles while talking and choking on the noodles.
"Capture Pokémon~~~"
Ash smacked his lips slightly, "As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools."
"If you want to capture Pokémon, you still need some good Pokémon balls~~~"
He raised his eyes and looked at the trees outside with round tangerine fruits, and couldn't help but shook his head.
These round tangerine fruits can indeed be used to make many Pokémon balls with magical effects.
For example, Red Apricorn is used to make Level Ball; Yellow Apricorn is used to make Moon Ball; Blue Apricorn is used to make Lure Ball; Green Apricorn is used to make Friend Ball;
Pink Apricorn is used to make Love Ball; White Apricorn is used to make Fast Ball; Black Apricorn is used to make Heavy Ball...
Pole pole pole pole~
One of the most important uses of cones is in making Pokémon balls.
In the past, craftsmen who made Pokémon balls hollowed out cones and placed them in special Pokémon-catching nets to make Pokémon balls.
Most of these Pokémon balls made from cones have special abilities.
Before the modern Pokémon balls were created, Pokémon balls made from cones were very common.
This technology can be traced back to 400 to 700 years ago.
With the development of science and technology, these Pokémon balls have gradually been replaced by modern mass-produced Pokémon balls due to the long production time and low efficiency.
However, craftsmen who have inherited this craft are still making Pokémon balls for excellent Trainers.
For example, this Oreburgh master who lives in Azalea Town is an expert in using cones to make Pokémon balls.
Normally, he would spend a whole day making the cones given to him by the Trainer into corresponding Pokémon balls.
In the original storyline, Oreburgh helps Ash, Misty, and Brock find cones in return for their efforts in protecting the Slowpoke Well.
And they made different Pokémon balls from the cones they found and gave them to them:
The three of them each received a Fast Ball.
Then there was the Rocket Team attack, and after Helper Oreburgh beat them away, Ash asked Oreburgh to make special Pokémon balls.
Mr. Oreburgh also readily agreed.
Afterwards, Xiaogang got a Heavy Ball, and Ash and Misty each got a Lure Ball.
The cones never appeared again after that.
Later, Ash and his friends have used some of the Pokémon Balls to capture their own Pokémon:
Xiao Gang captured Pineco with Fast Ball; Ash and Misty captured Totodile with Lure Ball at the same time.
However, since it was not certain who tamed it, it was given to Ash after some debate.
Later Misty captured Corsola with the Lure Ball.
As for the other Pokémon balls, there is no explanation.
And now, for the round orange fruits here from Master Oreburgh...
Ash said, not at all
interest.
Well, it's not that he doesn't want those Pokémon balls with special powers.
The main reason was that he had faced the ocean current god Lugia and the three stupid birds on Shamouti Island in the Orange Islands and resolved the major event that destroyed the world.
Received awards from the official Pokémon Alliance.
Among the reward resources given, many are Pokémon with special effects created by Master Oreburgh himself.
That's right, if Ash wants to get these Pokémon balls with special and rare effects, he doesn't need to bother Mr. Oreburgh at all.
He already had a lot of these treasure balls in his hands.
However, Misty and Xiaogang were quite excited and followed Master Oreburgh's granddaughter Qianhui outside to pick round orange fruits.
Then I found Master Oreburgh and went through a lot of trouble.
Successfully, they got their special Pokémon ball.
Well, it's the same storyline as the original, Misty got the Lure Ball and Xiaogang got the Heavy Ball.
In addition, Mr. Oreburgh gave each of them an extra Fast Ball as a gift.
As soon as Xiaogang got the Fast Ball~
"Go, Fast Ball!!"
He came to the courtyard and immediately captured one of the Pinecos hanging on the round tangerine fruit tree.
"Pineco, the Pineco Pokémon, will hang on a tree branch and wait for its prey. If someone shakes the tree and disturbs it from feeding, it will suddenly explode the moment it falls to the ground."
The Rotom Pokédex floats by just in time.
When Xiaogang was picking tangerine fruits, it fell from the tree and hit him, breaking him into pieces.
After going through some things, Xiaogang established a good friendship with it, and also used Fast Ball to tame it directly.
Although it later evolved into Forretress.
But when it was still Pineco, it liked Xiaogang very much. When Xiaogang held it in his arms, it would get too excited and use the Jade and Stone Pot to fry Xiaogang until he turned black.
Xiaogang put it back home after finishing the trip to Johto Region Region, but it still wanted to continue traveling with Xiaogang.
So much so that Xiaogang brought it with him during his subsequent trips to the Hoenn Region and Kanto Region Battle Frontier.
This is also the first Pokémon that Xiaogang captured in the Johto Region Region.
"Congratulations, Xiao Gang!!"
Misty, his companion, was also very happy for him, "You captured a Pokémon in this Johto Region, West!!"
Misty's eyes flashed with envy: "You and Ash both captured your own Pokémon!!"
"You'll have your chance too!!"
Xiaogang smiled and comforted, "The Pokémon that belongs to you must be on the road we are going to take next."
"Uh-huh."
Misty nodded vigorously and began to imagine.
However, she quickly realized one thing.
"Where did Ash go?"
The two looked around and found that Ash was suddenly gone.
"I'm here~~~"
Say Ash and Ash will appear. I can't stand the nagging.
When he walked in leisurely from the door, before the two people asked, he took the initiative to say:
"I went to find Slowpoke and had them activate a skill."
Ash explained truthfully.
"A skill?"
"Well, it should be coming soon~~~"
Ash raised his head as well, and Xiaogang and Misty looked up at the same time subconsciously.
Then, dark clouds appeared in Soaring in the sky.
"The skill you asked Slowpoke to use could not be..."
The two opened their eyes wide and immediately thought of a result.
"That's right~"
Ash snapped his fingers lightly and said with a smile: "It's [Rain Dance]."
Well, he didn't waste this day.
I went out to Azalea Town and used the [Entry System] to find Slowpoke, the most intelligent one among them.
He is also the leader of the Slowpookes in this group.
Then he used Psychic to communicate with it, and finally, let it lead its own group and successfully perform the current [Rain Dance] trick.
In the Slowpoke-believing Azalea Town, only the [Rain Dance] performed by the Slowpookes is the most acceptable to the residents of the town.
As for why these Slowpokes are used [Rain Dance] ~
"Of course it's to challenge the Azalea Gym~!"
Ash said as a matter of course.
Due to the severe drought, almost all institutions in Azalea Town are in a state of suspension.
Even the Azalea Gym is like this.
So in order to call up the Azalea Gym and their Gym Trainers to work.
Ash specifically looked for Slowpoke.
Well, his behavior is like when the holiday is approaching and he insists on giving people a day off.
Speaking of which, it is quite annoying.
