Since Ash had just extended his Aura Power too far, covering many Pokemon, he didn't notice at first.
Now, after focusing his Aura Power in one direction, Ash discovered the Pokemon with the weak Aura.
Judging by the weakness of that Aura, the opponent was not far from losing combat ability, i.e., losing consciousness.
It was precisely because of this that Ash cried out in surprise.
The moment he shouted, Ash's body was already in motion.
Brock and Misty could only helplessly follow along. After running with Ash for about a minute, Ash stopped, and they also saw the Pokemon with the weak Aura that Ash mentioned.
Sharp claws, an orange-red body, and a tail burning with a small flame — this was one of Kanto's Three Starter, Charmander!
"Ch…Charmander?!"
An astonished voice came from Misty.
What kind of luck is this? Having recently encountered a Bulbasaur and now a Charmander?!
Are all the Three Starter in the wild being encountered by Ash?!!
The Three Starter aren't like Pikachu, the kind of Pokemon you find by the roadside. While they are bred by the League and not particularly precious, in the wild, they are definitely extremely rare!
And in just a few days? To encounter another one, it's too freaking ridiculous!
For a moment, Brock and Misty looked at Ash with increasingly strange eyes. Could this guy be the legendary king of luck?
Ash didn't notice Brock and Misty's eyes. Upon seeing Charmander, his face was full of delight.
Earlier, in the Aura's scan, he had already guessed from the general appearance of this Pokemon that it might be a Charmander, but upon actually seeing it, he confirmed it for sure.
He really didn't expect his luck to be so good, first encountering Bulbasaur, and then Charmander. Could it be that the effects of that previous S-level ability are still lingering?
[Species: Charmander]
[Gender: Male]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Level: Newbie Peak]
[Ability: Fierce Fire]
[Skills: Tackle, Growl, Ember, Smoke Screen, Scary Face, Flamethrower, Belly Drum.]
[Six-dimensional Ability: Physical Attack D (S), Special Attack D (S), Defense E (A), Special Defense E (A), Physical Strength E (A), Speed D (S)]
Ash: !!!
This one is even more heavyweight compared to Bulbasaur, with Triple S-level aptitude, and being able, at Newbie Peak, to have so many skills — it's definitely the best of the best!
This Charmander's aptitude is only second to his Ralts, which was encountered thanks to that one-time S-level ability. What about this Charmander?
Could it really be the lingering effects of that S-level ability, or is it purely his good luck?
Speaking of which, since his debut, he has encountered many lucky events, whether it's winning lotteries in the group or encountering Pokemon in the wild — he's a lucky emperor among lucky emperors.
Someone in the group might shed tears of hatred again, wishing they could tear him apart…
"Why is there a Charmander here?" Brock looked around, only to describe the place as desolate. A Charmander obediently lying on a rock in such a place seemed quite odd.
"Who cares, I want to catch it!" Ash's eyes burned with excitement as he looked at Charmander, but soon the fire in his eyes was extinguished.
Earlier, he had been momentarily dazzled by Charmander's aptitude, but he quickly sobered up. Now, Charmander is very weak; forget about battling, even walking might be difficult.
He desires to capture this Charmander, but he can't battle it without considering its physical condition. That kind of capture would be no different from Team Rocket's blatant theft.
"Let's delay the capture for now, Brock, give me some universal Pokemon food."
Brock paused for a moment, showing a gratified expression on his face, then took out a bag of universal Pokemon food from his backpack and handed it to Ash.
Ash took the food, then retrieved a small bowl from his backpack and gently placed it in front of Charmander. Charmander glanced briefly at Ash, looking weak.
When Ash poured the Pokemon food into the bowl and gently pushed it towards Charmander, the fierce expression that Charmander was trying hard to maintain instantly disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable look.
"Eat, once you're full, you won't feel so weak anymore. When you're better, let's have a battle, with capturing you as the premise!" Ash wanted to pat Charmander's head, but it dodged him.
It was clear that Charmander was still somewhat wary of Ash.
But in its weakened state, it couldn't resist the temptation of food and soon started devouring the food before it.
In no time, it finished the large bowl of Pokemon food.
"Looks like he was really hungry, but it's curious; if it's a wild Pokemon, it should find food itself when hungry. Why would this Charmander stay on this rock?" Brock rubbed his smooth chin, speaking thoughtfully.
"Maybe it was too exhausted to find food… Charmander, want us to take you to the Pokemon Center to recover? Don't worry, I won't take advantage of your vulnerability to capture you. If I am to capture you, it will be in a fair battle!"
"Li~li-li~" Charmander shook its head and made a noise.
