After catching Nincada, this National Park insect catching conference was considered a complete success.
So Ash had nothing to do afterwards, and even had the leisure to stroll around here.
By the way, take a look at the performance of other Trainers.
Of course, it's mainly because of Casey, this passionate little guy, who always makes so much noise that attracts a lot of attention.
She is very passionate, but unfortunately, her Pokémon is just a Chikorita.
Although Chikorita tried her best to pretend to be equally energetic.
But the limited stamina was exhausted after Casey commanded it to defeat a group of Pinecos.
When they encountered a Scyther, Chikorita was not even a Rival and was sent flying.
Fortunately, as if in response to Casey's call, Chikorita evolved into Bayleef at the critical moment.
"Beep, Bayleef, the Leaf Pokémon, the evolution of Chikorita. As long as I smell the spice-like scent emanating from around its neck, I don't know why I want to fight it.
The evolved Chikorita lived up to Casey's expectations and successfully resisted Scyther's attack and captured...
Iron shell Kun.
Well, Chikorita even evolved into Bayleef.
When facing the Scyther with Flying Type and Bug Type Attribute, it is still absolutely restrained.
Being able to resist it is already quite good.
Therefore, later on, Casey only conquered Weedle's evolved form, Iron Shell.
I believe it won't take long before you can successfully evolve into Beedrill~~~
As time went by, when this insect catching conference came to an end, all the participating Trainers gathered in the square where they started.
Most of the insect Pokémon they captured were Catterpie, Venonat, Pineco, Weedle...
Well, most of them are a group of insect-catching teenagers.
Therefore, the one who finally won the championship is undoubtedly~~~
"Ash from Pallet Town!!"
The organizer's staff announced loudly: "He is the champion of this insect catching conference!!"
"And the Pokémon he captured was Nincada from the Hoenn Region, which had not been discovered or captured in the past ten years and was carefully placed in the National Park by us!!"
"The prize is the Sun Stone, and the Nincada he caught!!"
"Congratulations~!!"
Amid the cheers, the organizer handed the trophy to Ash with a smile and a little surprise.
"I didn't expect that Nincada had been hiding in there for ten years, but you finally found it! 257!"
"I'm just lucky."
Ash said modestly.
Is it just luck?
The organizer smiled and didn't say much.
They knew Ash's resume very well.
How could he have won so many championships just by luck?
Ash was also very happy and took the Sun Stone.
Of course, that wasn't what made him happy.
He had already obtained a full set of evolution stones from the four Eevee brothers in the Kanto Region.
It's just a Sun Stone, which might be very precious to an ordinary Trainer.
But in Ash's eyes today, it really doesn't matter.
What really makes him feel happy is naturally~~~
[Champion's Trophy (Purple)]: Win the event and you will get the corresponding trophy, which will increase your strength by 30%. Note: Collecting five champion trophies will form the [Champion's Certificate].
[Champion's Certificate]: Pokémon with the evolutionary conditions and props will evolve directly without restrictions, and the strength, skill power and effect, and critical hit rate of the evolved Pokémon will be increased by 100%. Current collection progress (3/5).
The third [Champion's Trophy] is obtained!!
As expected of Johto Region Region, the competition atmosphere is so strong.
I have only collected badges from three gyms, and I have already won three tournaments!!
Maybe, he might be able to synthesize another [Champion's Certificate!!] before the Silver Conference of the Johto Region Alliance is held.
"Congratulations, Ash, you won the game again..."
At the park entrance after the insect catching conference, Casey was also chatting with Ash.
Ever since Chikorita evolved into Bayleef, her emotions have become much more restrained and stable.
Well, sometimes the changes in Pokémon may also affect the Trainer himself.
"I accept defeat today with all my heart, but next time, I will definitely not lose!"
Casey smiled reassuringly: "Right, Bayleef?"
"Bei~Bei"
Bayleef also laughed and shouted loudly.
"Besides, I have also captured Iron Shell Kun. After it evolves, it will become Beedrill!!"
"I like this yellow striped Pokémon the most!!"
"I even want to sing another Electabuzz song!!"
Ash and his group: "~
Well, forget it. It's not necessary~~~
Thus, the insect catching conference at the National Park ended happily.
With the cheers of Casey's cheerleading team, the group headed towards their next destination.
Ash and his crew, who set out on a journey with the Yuzu Gym in Yuzu City as their destination, are still on the road to progress today.
At this moment, in front of them~~~
"What a wide river."
Ash and his group were heading towards Yuanzhu City when they were blocked by a river.
Logically, there should be a bridge that can be used for traffic, but due to the last big typhoon, it was washed away by the flooding river.
Because of this, many workers are busy rebuilding here.
It is estimated that it will be almost completed by next month.
Therefore, Ash and his friends could only walk along the river bank to see if they could find a way to cross the river.
Until~~~
They met an old fisherman who was paddling a boat.
"You want to cross the river?"
After hearing Ash and the others' request, the old man collecting the nets on the boat also put forward his conditions:
"Of course, but can you let me see the Pokémon called the Bullshit Tree first?"
"Nonsense tree? What is that?"
"I heard that it's a rare Pokémon. Look, it's on that mountain..."
The old man pointing to the mountain behind him said, "I heard it's on that mountain, but I can't find it!"
"I really want to see with my own eyes the Pokémon called the Nonsense Tree~~~"
The nonsense tree, also known as Sudowoodo.
"Tsk, Sudowoodo, a Mimic Pokémon, disguises itself as a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies. Since its hands are green all year round, it will be immediately discovered that it is a fake in winter."
The Rotom Pokédex gives the answer.
The old man also promised that as long as he was shown Sudowoodo, he would take Ash and his group across the river.
So, Ash and others went to the mountain to look for Sudowoodo's trace.
While they were searching for Sudowoodo in the mountains, they also saw two researchers arguing about the Attributes of Sudowoodo on the mountain.
The research book has long stated that Hu Shuo Shu is of the Rock type, and the researchers stick to what is written in the book.
The female researcher opposite him said that Sudowoodo looked like a Grass Type and had used a Fire Type move.
So she wanted to see with her own eyes what the attribute of Sudowoodo was.
And there is no doubt~~~
"Sudowoodo is really a Rock Type.
After learning about the differences between the two, Ash said with certainty.
"See, I told you, Sudowoodo is a Rock Type!!"
The male researcher was there, holding a research book in his hand, and said proudly.
"Little brother, you say that..."
The female researcher couldn't help but frowned: "Isn't this a bit too arbitrary?"
"I've published articles on Pokémon research before…"
Ash smiled and said casually: "I have also studied the Pokémon Sudowoodo, it is indeed a Rock Type."
"You've published it, too?"
"Pokémon research article?"
Both the male and female researchers were stunned, and then looked him up and down with some uncertainty.
"May I ask this little brother..."
The male researcher asked curiously: "Which laboratory did you come from?"
Well, publishing an article on Pokémon research is not something that everyone can do.
At the very least, a laboratory is needed as a backup and proof.
At this little brother's age, he published an article on this subject~~~
"What's your name? I wonder if I've ever seen any of your published articles?"
"My name is Ash, Laboratory..."
Ash smiled and said: "It should be Professor Oak's Laboratory~~~"
"Ash?!"
"Professor Oak's Laboratory?!!"
The two of them widened their eyes almost at the same time.
"So you are Ash!!"
"You wrote those previous articles about Pokémon evolution!!"
"He is really young and promising!!!"
The two of them completely gave up their previous argument and came close to Ash, chatting with each other in high spirits.
"I have verified the possible theories about Eevee's evolution that you mentioned before...
"Your ideas are really bold, they are angles that others have never thought of..."
They turned to talk to Ash on the spot about Pokémon evolutions.
To the point that they all forgot about the nonsense tree.
"nonsense?!"
Right next to them, the Nonsense Tree disguised as a tree was looking at the humans with confusion.
No, weren't they just talking about me?!
Why are we suddenly talking about other things?
Hu Shuoshu was puzzled.
But it didn't notice that while it was thinking, a Pikachu had quietly come to its side.
"nonsense?"
When it realized it, the Oreburgh-colored tail was already reflected in its eyes.
This is ~~~Pikachu's Oreburgh tail.
Bang!!
It hit him directly on the forehead, leaving Hu Shushu no time to react before he was knocked away.
"Nonsense~~~"
"Um??"
A scream made the two researchers, who were caught up in excitement, raise their heads at the same time.
Then, we saw Hu Shuoshu being knocked to the ground and lying motionless.
"You guys saw it too~~~"
Ash said leisurely.
"The magic of the nonsense tree
Baby, you are obviously being restrained by the Steel type's skills, which is obviously a Rock Type's.
"Of course, if you still have any objections to this..."
Ash said sincerely, "You can also bring it to do some experiments."
"After all, practice makes perfect~~~"
Two male and female researchers: "..."
Simple and crude, but I have to say~~~it is indeed quite efficient.
The two researchers looked at each other, then fell silent.
Come to think of it, they also thought that Ash, in addition to writing many articles about Pokémon evolution.
What's more, he has achieved excellent results as a Trainer.
For example, the champion of the division, champion, champion, etc.~~~
Well, it is only natural that I can easily find and catch this nonsense tree...
However, before Ash handed the nonsense tree to the two researchers, he first brought it to the old man on the boat and asked him to take a good look at it.
After that, they safely stepped onto the river to cross the bridge.
On the other side of the bridge, several people also came to a huge ruins.
"I heard that this is where many ancient Pokémon fossils were found."
"This Ruins of Alph~~~"
Ruins of Alph is a ruin in the center of Johto Region, located southwest of Violet City, connected to Route 36 in the north and Route 32 in the east.
Here, you can see many ancient Pokémon fossils, and there are many workers digging here.
Normally, a traveling Trainer like Ash should not be eligible to enter.
But who let~~~
"Who asked me to come?!"
Professor Oak walked out of the ruins with a smile to greet the three people.
"I didn't expect you to move so quickly. Your target is already Yuan Zhushi."
Professor Oak, who came here specially invited from Pallet Town, walked over and patted Ash on the shoulder.
With a look of satisfaction, he said: "After such a long time, you have grown a lot taller, Ash.
"No, it's all thanks to Professor Oak."
Ash also smiled.
"Okay, stop standing here and watch. Come with me."
After Professor Oak greeted Xiaogang and Misty, he called them and walked into the house.
"Did my presence make you walk a longer distance?"
"That's not the case. It's more fun to go this way, and we also want to forgive the different storms."
"Well, that's good. I was also invited by one of my former students to come here to witness the amazing discovery he mentioned."
"No matter what, I must take some time to come and take a look."
Professor Oak's student is called Foster, and he took his class at Celadon University.
It was because he said there was some great discovery that Professor Oak thought of calling Ash and others to come and take a look.
Because the hairstyles in the Ruins of Alph are definitely related to the Pokémon fossils.
As for fossils~~~
Currently in this world, no one has more say than Ash.
After all, the important discovery in Dasha Valley provided Professor Oak and the Pokémon Alliance with very important experimental materials.
Therefore, there is basically nothing that Ash cannot know.
And when everyone met Foster, the nominal student of Professor Oak.
The latter, on the other hand, seemed to be hesitant, "If this matter were published, it would cause a huge uproar in the academic community."
"That's why I discussed this with the Professor in secret..."
What this meant was that he didn't want to share his findings with anyone other than Professor Oak.
"Don't be so reserved~"
Instead, Professor Oak comforted him: "Letting these kids expand their knowledge of Pokémon is also a necessary step for them to become Pokémon masters.
"Also, Ash's discoveries on ancient Pokémon are not low either~~~"
Foster:"~~~~~~"
Now that you, Professor Oak, have said so, what else can I say?
Of course he had to make an exception and tell everyone about his discovery.
His so-called great discovery is:
The Water Type Pokémon that lived in prehistoric times and was thought to be extinct actually survives to this day!!
"This is what I found about Omanyte and Omastar!!"
Foster proudly announced: "I found this out with great difficulty, please keep it a secret!!"
What appeared in front of Ash and the others were the two blue shell-shaped Pokémon.
