This was indeed somewhat intentional.
All I can say is that this cameraman had a bad taste and deliberately scared the audience in front of the big screen.
Not only Misty, but other audience members were also almost frightened to the point of spraining their waists by this sudden scene.
Even the organizers of this insect catching conference couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.
"Weedle is just a very common insect Pokémon. If you capture it, it will be very difficult to use it to decide the outcome."
"At least a Pokémon of the level of Beedrill or Scyther is required to be qualified to become the Insect Catcher Conference Champion.
Well, if you tell others that you can win the championship in this insect catching conference by catching a Weedle.
If that gets out, it'll be so funny that people will die.
"But then again, if it was that bug Pokémon, even if it was still in Earl Dervish form, it would still be eligible to become the champion if it was captured.
"That shouldn't be possible, right? I remember that Pokémon stayed under the tree for almost ten years after it was introduced from the Hoenn Region."
"No one has been able to find its trace for ten years. If it is really tamed by the Trainer, it is indeed worthy of being named the champion."
"But the question is, can a Trainer this year find it and tame it? I think..."
The organizers were talking to each other there, and at the same time.
In the picture of the big screen.
Similarly, for Ash who encountered this Weedle, there was nothing surprising.
"Weedle~~"
Ash just glanced at it briefly and then looked away.
Well, this Weedle does seem to be developing very well.
But~~~
It's just Weedle.
Even if it evolves and becomes Beedrill, it may get higher points because of its final evolution.
As a result, he stood out in this insect catching conference, just like Ash in the original timeline, who won the championship of the insect catching conference with the help of Beedrill.
But not all Beedrills are worthy of Ash's attention.
"Not all Beedrills are Giovanni's Beedrill~~~"
Ash shook his head and continued to search forward.
Even though racial talents cannot determine the upper limit between Pokémon, they set the lower limit at the beginning.
Perhaps even a Beedrill or a Catterpie has the potential to climb to the top.
But compared to Volcarona, which is also a bug Pokémon, it is far behind~~~
"There should be other bug Pokémon...
Ash let Weedle go and didn't think about catching it, but that didn't mean the others gave up.
"Chikorita, use Leaf Flying on Weedle!!"
At this moment, a command suddenly came from behind Ash on the other side.
"Tsk!!"
First came Chikorita's shout, and then came the sound of Razor Leaf's skill breaking through the air.
Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh!!
Bang!!
The flying blades of Normal's Leafage successfully hit the Weedle.
"Go, Park Ball!!"
Casey, full of energy, rushed out from the side and threw the Park Ball out.
Then, it hit Weedle accurately and turned it into a red light and collected it.
Ding~ding~buzz!!
There was no shaking at all, and Park Ball returned to calm.
"Great, now we have captured a Pokémon first!!"
Casey was very happy and ran over quickly to pick up the park.
Ash watched all of Casey's actions from the side.
Well, this kind of action of catching Pokémon seems quite smooth, and it has already transformed from Rookie Trainer.
Casey's progress is quite fast.
"It's better to strike first!!"
Casey excitedly raised Park Ball to Soaring in the sky: "Whenever there is an opportunity, attack the next base one by one!!"
"This is the Electabuzz team's baseball style~~speed and sprint!!"
"The situation now feels like I was one point ahead in the first game. Unwise!!"
Casey was so passionate that Ash seemed to be able to feel the fire burning in her body.
"Everything is described by baseball."
Well, Ash could understand this.
The Electabuzz team finally won the championship after 45 years, which was truly a carnival for the fans.
It feels like the royal family and six billion people saw the RNG and WE teams they supported win the championship~~~
"I won't lose!!"
Casey shouted excitedly, and hurriedly took Chikorita to move deeper.
It really is, not as energetic as Normal~~~
Ash smacked his lips upon seeing this, and then chose a different path from Casey.
Just because she's so loud and so passionate, even if she encounters some rare insect Pokémon.
I guess he would be scared away by her.
Of course, for Pokémon like Beedrill, Scyther, and Pinsir Pinsir, that's not necessarily the case~~~
Ash took Pikachu and walked on another road.
"I remember there was also a Scyther in this forest..."
"Scyther can evolve into Scizor and the Cleaver Mantis, and the Cleaver Mantis is also very cool~~ huh?!!"
Suddenly, Ash stopped.
His Psychic ability constantly scanned the surroundings, and the information fed back made him stop here.
"Next to here…"
A little blue light began to appear in his eyes, and then he looked in a certain direction, "Is there a very strange Pokémon hidden there?"
It was under the roots of a big tree and looked inconspicuous. If other Pokémon Trainers hadn't activated Psychic and detected it like Ash did, they might have missed it without even looking at it.
"A Pokémon that can hide under a tree and grow underground. And judging from its outline, it seems to be only..."
Crash!!
Ash immediately used Psychic to turn the soil, directly uncovering the dirt beneath the roots of the tree, revealing the Pokémon inside.
It was a completely white, crawling insect Pokémon.
It has a pair of brown forelegs and white hind legs, two tentacle-like things next to its mouth, and a pair of small green wings on its body.
"Beep, Nincada, an entry-level Pokémon. Because it lives underground for a long time, its eyes can hardly see anything. It relies on its tentacles to explore the surrounding situation.
The Rotom Pokédex floats by in real time.
"It's Nincada after all~!!"
Ash looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh.
Nincada is a special Pokémon in the Ririm Region.
Nincada builds nests at the roots of large trees and can sometimes live in the soil for more than 10 years.
It lives in the dark underground for a long time and is not used to the dazzling sunlight. It uses its whisker-like antennae instead of its almost blind eyes to explore the surrounding situation.
At the same time, it will use its sharp claws to cut open the roots of trees and absorb the water and nutrients in them, waiting motionlessly for the moment of evolution to come.
"Looking at its contest condition, it seems to have been lurking underground for a long time~~~"
Ash looked up and down at the motionless King of Ojuku Ninja who was pulled out by his Psychic.
"From this point of view, it is not far from evolution."
The light screen in his eyes also showed the corresponding information about this Nincada:
[Pokémon: Nincada]
[Gender: Male]
[Trainer: None]
[Attribute: Bug, Ground]
[Ability: Compound Eyes (Because of the compound eyes, the hit rate of the moves will be improved. The hit rate of your own moves × 1.3. This ability does not affect the hit rate of one-hit-kill moves.)
[Skills: Grab, Harden, Dig, Absorb, Fury Swipes, Metal Claw.....
[Carrying things: None]
[Potential: Elite]
[Training suggestions: .........
[Entry: The ten-year period has come! (Gold)]
[The ten-year period has come! (Gold)]: As a very persevering Nincada, it quietly absorbed nutrients under the tree and survived ten years. Once it has endured the polishing of ten years, it will gain incredible power and entries after evolution!
Is it still effective to use ten years of loneliness, solitude, devastation and the time that Bide could not bear to exchange for the powerful strength ten years later?!
Ash's eyes suddenly brightened.
This reminded him of an entry in a certain game called [Open!], which means:
[You cannot take any action in the next three rounds. After that, you will receive 20 gold coins.]
This is very similar to Nincada's current Contest Condition!!
It has endured ten years of time and effort, without evolving or going out to see the bustling world.
The purpose is to make a splash!
This is something that only a Pokémon with great perseverance and spirit can do.
"It's really rare."
Ash sighed, and he also understood why this Nincada remained motionless after being trapped by him and did not even fight back.
Because~~~
"Is the ten-year deadline coming up soon?"
On Ash's screen, the countdown for Nincada's ten-year deadline is almost approaching!!
There is not much time left until its ten-year period. This year is exactly the tenth year of its final year!!
Precisely because of this, Nincada, who had accumulated and endured for ten years, naturally did not intend to fail at this last moment.
If it were to resist and struggle, it would most likely draw out the power within its body, causing its accumulated power to burst out, causing it to evolve before reaching the ten-year deadline.
At that time, all the efforts it has made in the past ten years will become a joke, and all the hard work will be wasted.
"Don't worry, I won't let your hard work go to waste."
Ash looked at Nincada and said softly, "Ten years must have been very difficult to endure, right?"
"Tubo?"
After hearing this, Nincada, who had been pretending to be dead, could no longer remain calm. He raised his head and looked at Ash with his compound eyes in doubt.
"Since I can find your location that has not been discovered by anyone in the past ten years, I can naturally detect your current contest condition."
Ash pointed to his own blue eyes and said to Nincada with a smile:
"I know that you have chosen the most difficult and unbearable thing for this evolution.
It is a practice that is both rewarding and lucrative.
The evolution that comes after ten years of accumulation and suppression will naturally have extraordinary strength!!
"'"But you have only stayed under a big tree in Zhejiang for the past ten years, and the nutrients you absorbed are limited..."
Ash stroked his chin, then smiled and said, "If you trust me, I can help you."
"Help you complete the last piece of the puzzle of the past ten years of evolution!!"
Well, Nincada is in this National Park, and although the atmosphere of the wild is very strong, there are not many resources.
Especially since Nincada is an old Mega house buried in the ground, and it only knows how to absorb tree sap.
Perhaps it can provide the nutrients you need for evolution, but if you want to go to the next level, you will need more nutrients.
Normally, for a unique contest condition like Nincada, it is best not to do anything else to disturb it.
Because if you are not an expert in Pokémon, it is difficult to prescribe the right medicine.
Otherwise, not only will it not help it, but it may also cause the power in its body to run wild and cause it to evolve prematurely.
However, for Ash~~~
No problem at all!!
"The training suggestions given by my entry system can clearly tell Nincada what it needs and what to do now~~~"
"What's more, if we really want to put it into practice..."
Ash's mouth slowly lifted up: "I have a Pokémon expert here who is even better than Normal's Pokémon expert~!!"
That's right, it's you, Professor Oak!!!
With Professor Oak protecting it, the evolution of this Nincada will no longer face any obstacles or interruptions.
It can even take its evolution to a higher level!!!
"±..."
After hearing what Ash said, Nincada remained silent, and then nodded silently.
It didn't believe Ash. After all, it had survived ten years as a bug in the dark underground.
Such will, determination and persistence, as well as the current sensitive time when evolution is about to take place.
It will definitely not let it trust anyone easily.
B...
In the current situation, if it doesn't believe, cooperate, or agree, what's the point?!!
Didn't you see that Ash had already used his own blue Psychic to directly wrap it up?!
And just now, it was forcibly dragged out from underground~~~
Does it mean it can't do it if it says no, and can just refuse to agree if it doesn't agree?!!
Have you asked for its opinion? Does its opinion matter?
Nincada knew very well that his words and opinions were not important at all.
So when faced with Ash's seemingly soliciting words, he could only nod and agree.
Well, in this way, it would be more decent for both parties.
Otherwise, if it really doesn't give face and the atmosphere in the venue can't be relaxed, then Ash will directly help it to be decent~~~
The situation was stronger than the person, and no matter how helpless he was, Nincada had no choice but to agree.
All I can say is that I hope this seemingly kind Trainer can explain things to the others and fulfill his promise.
This would give Nincada some comfort.
"Very good~"
Ash nodded with satisfaction when he saw this. Of course, he could still grasp a little of Nincada's thoughts.
But he didn't care: "When you reach the moment of true evolution, you will understand whether what I said is true or false."
Well, no matter how nice the words sound, they are far less effective than actual actions.
Don't look at what this person said, look at what this person did.
Ash will definitely take actual action, and by then, Nincada will naturally understand~
"Go ahead, Park Ball."
After the discussion, Ash simply raised his hand and threw the Park Ball out.
Pop.
Park Ball hit the target accurately and also took away the defenseless Nincada.
Moreover, it didn't even shake, and there was no red light flashing in the middle, it was captured directly like that!
"Very good~~~Li"
Ash quickly stepped forward and picked up the Park Ball without Pikachu's help: "I have captured Nincada!!"
"Pika~Pika!!!"
The laughter of each person and Pikachu also echoed in this forest.
In this way, Ash's capture this time is complete!!
