Time flew by, and two months passed in the blink of an eye. Ash's Pokémon saw a significant increase in their strength, as they had daily sparring partners from Professor Oak's Pokémon and received high-grade energy blocks.
Professor Oak fell into deep thought each day as he looked at the bills and transactions. The training grounds were repaired only to be damaged again, and energy blocks were supplied without regard for cost.
(Pokémon Levels: Newborn - Normal - Elite - Professional - Gym - Quasi-Elite Four - Elite Four - Quasi-Champion - Champion)
On this day, Ash received the latest report, which clearly stated:
"Charizard, Elite Four Peak; Sceptile, Elite Four Mid-tier;
Bulbasaur, Quasi-Elite Four Mid-tier; Kingler, Professional High-tier;
Muk, Professional High-tier; Tauros Leader, Quasi-Elite Four Early-tier;
Snorlax, nearing Elite Four High-tier; Heracross, Quasi-Elite Four Mid-tier;
Meganium, Quasi-Elite Four Early-tier; Typhlosion, Quasi-Elite Four Mid-tier;
Feraligatr, Quasi-Elite Four Early-tier; Noctowl, Gym Mid-tier;
Donphan, Gym Mid-tier; Corphish, Gym Mid-tier;
Torkoal, Professional High-tier; Glalie, Gym Early-tier;
Staraptor, Gym Mid-tier; Torterra, Gym High-tier;
Infernape, Quasi-Elite Four Peak; Floatzel, Gym Peak;
Gliscor, Quasi-Elite Four Early-tier; Gabite, Gym Mid-tier.
Swellow: Quasi-Elite Four Early-tier."
"Pikachu, Quasi-Champion Mid-tier!" (This is Ash during the Sinnoh era.)
Upon receiving this data, Professor Oak couldn't help but smack his lips. In just two months, Ash's Pokémon had grown tremendously in strength. Some had evolved, fully unleashing their potential, and others had even jumped three ranks.
This kid used to waste them too much.
Professor Oak marveled at Ash's incredible luck, feeling a bit sour about it.
However, he was also very curious why many Pokémon that could evolve into their final forms simply didn't under Ash's command. This was also a unique trait.
Based on this phenomenon, Professor Oak had a long-brewing theory: the initial forms and various evolved forms of Pokémon are like water bottles of different sizes.
Small bottles will eventually fill up and become large bottles. The key lies in whether they can break through the predetermined capacity and duration of the small bottle.
"Ash, at your age, you're already a Quasi-Elite Four Trainer. That's unique in the entire League. Back then, Lance was three years older than you when he became a Quasi-Elite Trainer."
"Now, it seems you're not inferior to him in the slightest."
Professor Oak was very satisfied with Ash as his disciple. Besides his complete lack of understanding in matters of the heart, his emotional intelligence had finally made great progress under two months of his guidance.
Although he occasionally had his moments, there was nothing else to fault him for. Moreover, Professor Oak had watched Ash grow up, so his character was beyond reproach.
Not to mention Ash's father was—Ash looked at Professor Oak, but his mood wasn't particularly high.
"Professor, I've been feeling empty inside lately. I keep feeling like I've forgotten something, like I've abandoned something."
Before Professor Oak could say anything, Pikachu suddenly cried out,
"Pika, Pika Pika. (Pidgeot, Larvitar, and them, Ash.)"
"That's right, I should go and bring them back."
Then, Ash told Professor Oak everything about his journey in detail.
"Alright, Ash, you should first go to Viridian Forest to find Pidgeot, then retrieve Primeape and Larvitar. As for Lapras, I'll inform the local Professor to keep an eye out for it."
(Don't doubt Professor Oak; he is a top-tier Professor in the entire world. He possesses this strength and capability.)
"Okay, thank you, Professor."
Ash, in a hurry and following Professor Oak's advice, grabbed Pikachu, and with Charizard, Bulbasaur, Gabite, and Snorlax, rushed towards Viridian Forest.
Before leaving, Ash specifically contacted Brock and Misty, telling them about his recent situation and suggesting they all meet up in Viridian City.
The young man in the morning light constantly darted through the forest paths.
Viridian Forest was right before his eyes!
"Hmm, why are there so many people in police uniforms?"
Ash looked on in confusion at the nearly sixty-strong police force gathered not far away. Just as he was about to step forward to understand the situation, an old man passing by grabbed him.
"Young man, are you crazy? This area has been temporarily requisitioned by the Viridian City Police Station. They say they're going to catch wild Pokémon in Viridian Forest to strengthen their police force."
"What?!"
Seeing Ash's young face and confused tone, the older Trainer further explained,
"It's said that there's a Pidgeot in Viridian Forest, abandoned by its Trainer, and it's at least Quasi-Elite level. Anyone with eyes can see that this operation is basically for this Pidgeot. To capture it, the Viridian Police Department has dispatched ten Gym-level Trainers and two Quasi-Elite-level Trainers, along with a bunch of Elite-level and Professional-level Trainers."
"To think I've only just touched the threshold of Professional-level in half my life. Such a display, so many high-level Trainers gathered together, I doubt I'll see it many times in my life."
The old man sighed, lamenting how time spares no one.
Ash could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He left the old man and rushed into the forest.
On the other side, Brock was still in the Gym, having just cheerfully instructed a challenger. He was calculating his departure time when, the next second, he received a call, and an unprecedented seriousness pressed upon his face.
"Is the information reliable?"
A voice came from the other end of the phone,
"Reliable. Parts of Viridian Forest have already been sealed off."
The moment the call ended, Brock's signature smile instantly froze, replaced by a chilling coldness that made even the challenger shiver.
He slammed the teacup beside him, shattering it, and roared at the stunned Gym students, "Grab your Poké Balls and follow me to Viridian Forest!"
The Gym Badge on his waist clinked crisply as he ran, and his sleeves billowed with the wind, like a swollen battle flag.
It was the same at the Cerulean Gym. Misty waved her slender hand, leading sixteen students and disciples to Viridian Forest.
They were no longer alone as they had been in the past.
Inside Viridian Forest, battle was imminent.
"Pidgeot! Pidgeot! (It's you guys again!)"
"Pidgeot! (My children, to battle!)"
A Pidgeot with muscular wings and sharp eyes, distinctly different from the other giant Pidgeot, led its kind out.
Ash's Pidgeot couldn't suppress the anger in its heart and led a hundred Pidgeotto in a sudden dive attack.
"Ursaring, come out, use Hyper Beam!"
"Weezing, use Poison Gas!"
"Growlithe, use Flamethrower!"
These were, after all, well-trained police officers. They reacted immediately, releasing their Pokémon.
Poison-type Pokémon were at the front, Pokémon capable of Hyper Beam were in the middle as turrets, and Fire-type Pokémon advanced rapidly.
The strength of Ash's Pidgeot's flock was mostly at the Normal and Elite levels. Even with numerical superiority, they couldn't match their opponents.
In a few breaths, a significant number of them had lost their ability to battle.
Ash's Pidgeot also fell into a bitter struggle, being surrounded by six Gym-level Pokémon and one Quasi-Elite-level Pokémon.
Even as Ash's Pidgeot constantly ascended, it was difficult to avoid all attacks.
Pidgeot's opponents wouldn't give Pidgeot any time to breathe, continuously unleashing skills.
Pidgeot watched its kin one by one lose their ability to battle. In a moment of distraction, it was struck by a Hyper Beam and fell from the sky.
In its dying moments, Pidgeot saw a familiar figure appear in the forest not far away.
"Pidgeot, don't give up! Fly up, use Aerial Ace!"
Brock and Misty, who had just arrived at the forest entrance, happened to meet. The two groups converged, forcefully taking down the police officers stationed there. Hearing Pidgeot's cry, Brock and Misty dashed into the forest.
On the other side, Pidgeot seemed somewhat incredulous. Its eyes suddenly sharpened, and its aura abruptly changed. If Professor Oak were present, he would surely exclaim that Pidgeot had completely entered the Elite level. It truly lived up to its reputation as Ash's first generation avian Pokémon leader.
"Pidgeot, use Aerial Ace! Send these bastards flying!"
Ash's roar once again pierced through the forest mist, his baseball cap blown backward by the furious wind.
As that familiar figure broke through the morning mist, Pidgeot's left eye was already bloodshot from the poison mist, yet it still saw the faded Poké Ball on Ash's waist. It was the old-model ball Ash first caught it with, and the metal clasp still bore the tooth marks Pidgeot had pecked when it was young.
The figure before it was none other than Ash.
In an instant, Pidgeot's eyes reddened, and it suddenly shook its body.
A piercing shriek, tearing through the clouds, mixed with a hint of tremor and excitement. Pidgeot's wings suddenly burst open, as if a swirling vortex of air condensed at the tip of each feather.
Its talons clenched tightly, stirring up a flurry of withered leaves that formed a visible cyclone. As its wingtips sliced through the air, they left behind several translucent afterimages, as if multiple Pidgeot were flapping their wings simultaneously.
This Aerial Ace, at the moment of breaking through to the Elite level, and under Pidgeot's immense emotional fluctuation, generated a spatial tearing effect. Ursaring had just fired a Hyper Beam when an afterimage grazed its nose, tearing a bloody gash in the fur on its chest.
"No!" The Deputy Chief's roar was swallowed by the air current.
Pidgeot's figure darted like a ghost among the six Gym-level Pokémon. Each turn inflicted some damage, but unfortunately, having just broken through and after a fierce battle, Pidgeot's stamina was already failing.
When Ash reached Pidgeot's side, Pidgeot was already falling like a broken arrow, its right wing feathers looking as if they had been cut by a scythe.
Before closing its eyes, Pidgeot cast one last look at the Poké Ball on Ash's waist, its beak gently twitching.
Pidgeot ultimately fell unconscious due to unstable boundaries and exhaustion. (Why not Pidgeot? The author first heard 'Pidgeot' when he was a child. The author also never played Pokémon games, only watched the anime. So what is presented is the anime version. Many understandings are not as good as yours, and I just want to make up for childhood regrets.)
Ash wasn't idle either. While holding Pidgeot, he flung several Poké Balls from his waist.
"Come out, Charizard, Bulbasaur, Gabite, Snorlax! Battle on your own, don't hold back!"
At this moment, Ash was truly enraged.
Pidgeot being ambushed to the point of unconsciousness had already crossed Ash's bottom line.
"Who are you? I am the Deputy Chief of Viridian Police Station. Obstructing Viridian police duties, you are already suspected of obstructing official business!"
The Deputy Chief's face was grim; his prey had flown away. He released six Pokémon, all of which were Quasi-Elite level.
Charizard raised its head and let out a roar that shook the entire field. Blazing flames shot out from its mouth, and its powerful aura seemed to declare to the world that it feared no challenge.
"I understand, Charizard, I'll leave this to you!"
"Bulbasaur, Gabite, go help the Pidgeotto flock and block those Gym-level Pokémon."
"Snorlax, Pikachu, come with me and block those Quasi-Elite Pokémon over there."
Ash glanced at Charizard and quickly disengaged from the battlefield.
Charizard lifted its proud head towards Ash, as if saying,
Ash, just you watch! I am the world's number one Charizard!
"Arcanine, Extreme Speed and Sucker Punch; Machamp, Close Combat Arm Hammer; Golbat, Air Slash lockdown!" The Deputy Chief, being a Quasi-Elite Trainer, reacted swiftly, issuing a rapid-fire sequence of commands.
Arcanine was like a flash of lightning, its four hooves leaving a trail of afterimages on the ground. In the blink of an eye, it surged in front of Charizard, moving so fast that its figure was almost impossible to catch.
Machamp leaped high, muscles tensed, its thick arms whistling with the wind like a pair of massive battering rams, striking Charizard with immense force.
Golbat, meanwhile, flapped its wings high in the air. Each flap generated sharp, blade-like Air Slashes, carrying a chilling gleam, shooting towards Charizard from different angles.
The three Pokémon instantly wove an airtight net of attacks.
Charizard suddenly opened its gaping maw, and scorching flames, like surging lava, carrying endless power, roared and spewed forth.
Where the flames passed, the air seemed to ignite, making crackling sounds.
The flames, like an unstoppable wall, instantly enveloped Arcanine and Machamp. Arcanine tried to dodge with its speed but was still grazed by the edge of the flames, letting out a pained whimper.
Machamp, on the other hand, bravely endured the majority of the flames, lasting only a second before being consumed by them and crashing heavily to the ground, losing its ability to battle and falling unconscious.
"Come back, Machamp."
The Deputy Chief was furious. The level of this Charizard was beyond his imagination. He quickly recalled Machamp, then loudly ordered: "Golem, Earthquake!"
Upon receiving the command, Golem's massive body suddenly sank downwards, then slammed heavily onto the ground.
The nearby ground shook violently, and cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb towards Charizard. Dust from the ground was shaken high, forming a cloud of smoke.
Charizard reacted nimbly, flapping its wings fiercely. The powerful wind pressure instantly dispersed the surrounding smoke, and it used the momentum to soar into the sky, dodging the Earthquake attack.
"Arcanine, Fire Spin; Golbat, Confuse Ray; Golem, Rollout!" The Deputy Chief's offensive didn't stop, issuing commands again.
Arcanine ran rapidly around Charizard, spewing flames from its mouth, instantly forming a huge Fire Spin that trapped Charizard in the center.
Golbat circled in the air, its eyes flickering with an eerie light. Beams of Confuse Ray shot towards Charizard, causing Charizard's eyes to momentarily glaze over.
Golem, meanwhile, curled into a ball, like a huge brown stone sphere, enveloped in rolling dust, and charged towards Charizard at an extremely high speed.
Charizard was only momentarily dazed before it fiercely shook its head, regaining consciousness.
Immediately, its claws flashed with light, imbued with great power.
It swung hard, its Dragon Claw tearing through the Fire Spin, then rushed towards Golem at an extremely high speed, striking it with one claw and sending it flying.
Subsequently, Charizard quickly turned in the air, its huge wings fanning out a strong gust of wind, dodging Golbat's Confuse Ray.
Seeing the situation was not good, the Deputy Chief sent out several more Pokémon to wear down Charizard, in addition to man-made police weapons.
The battle entered a critical stage. Charizard already had many scars on its body, its feathers were singed, and there were several bloodstains all over, but its eyes became even fiercer.
The battle ignited Charizard's most primal ferocity.
Seeing this, the Deputy Chief then commanded Vileplume.
Vileplume swayed its body, quickly releasing a large amount of Sleep Powder.
The pink powder, like fine mist, rapidly diffused in the air, attempting to put Charizard to sleep.
Charizard rapidly flapped its wings in the air, trying to blow away the Sleep Powder, but still inhaled some. Its eyes became somewhat hazy, and its flight path became wobbly.
Just then, Arcanine and Golbat seized the opportunity to attack.
Arcanine's mouth flashed with flames as it fiercely pounced on Charizard, using Fire Fang.
Golbat, meanwhile, condensed a black Shadow Sneak and shot it towards Charizard.
Charizard barely managed to rally its spirits, once again spewing Flamethrower from its mouth, attempting to block this double attack.
The flames collided with Fire Fang and Shadow Sneak in the air, creating a violent explosion.
Although Charizard blocked most of the attacks, it was still hit by the aftershocks, its body swayed a few times, and several new wounds appeared on its body, with blood slowly flowing down its frame.
However, Charizard did not fall down.
It took a deep breath, and the power of the flames within its body seemed to be stimulated by the pain, burning even more fiercely around its body, making crackling sounds.
It let out a roar, and with an unstoppable momentum, charged towards Vileplume.
Vileplume tried to block with its vines, and green vines shot out like snakes.
But Charizard was faster; it swung its Dragon Claw, easily severing the vines, then landed a heavy Fire Punch on Vileplume's body. Vileplume was sent flying by the powerful force, crashing heavily to the ground, losing its ability to battle.
Charizard then took down the remaining Pokémon with several moves.
At this moment, only Gengar remained on the field.
The Deputy Chief had not allowed Gengar to join the battle earlier, instead having Gengar protect him closely.
Gengar grinned mischievously, its body instantly transforming into a black shadow, disappearing from its spot.
The next second, it appeared behind Charizard, a black Shadow Sneak condensing in its mouth, which it fired at Charizard.
Charizard reacted quickly, instinctively sensing danger, and immediately turned around, a barrier of flames instantly appearing in front of it.
The Shadow Sneak collided with the flame barrier, making a dull thud, and the black energy and red flames canceled each other out, creating a puff of smoke.
Seeing this, Gengar was not discouraged; it cast another move, instantly creating multiple illusions that surrounded Charizard. Each illusion fired a Psybeam at Charizard.
Charizard moved quickly through the illusions, and relying on its keen intuition, it suddenly locked onto Gengar's true body, rapidly condensing a huge flame in its mouth.
The flames spewed by Charizard were like a torrent, surging towards Gengar. Gengar nimbly dodged the flames, while simultaneously spitting out a cloud of Toxic purple smoke from its mouth, which spread towards Charizard.
At the same time, Gengar seized the opportunity and launched its Dream Eater move; its body transformed into an ethereal shadow, rapidly rushing towards Charizard.
Charizard endured the discomfort in its body, concentrating its power, and condensed raging flames on its claws. The flames were even more dazzling than before, carrying its unyielding will. It violently threw a punch, a punch imbued with immense power and speed, directly hitting Gengar.
Gengar was sent flying by this powerful force, its body tumbling several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, ultimately losing its ability to battle.
Charizard flapped its wings, landed on the ground, and after a few heavy breaths, knocked out the Deputy Chief, and casually gave the Deputy Chief's entire body a spa with its foot.
Then Charizard seemed to think of something, nodded heavily, stripped off all the Deputy Chief's clothes, and performed a second spa. After seeing that the Deputy Chief's entire body had been stomped on, it dashed towards Ash's direction.
While Charizard was battling the Deputy Chief, the other battlefields were also busy.
Bulbasaur and Gabite quickly moved, separating the Gym-level Pokémon that were attacking the Pidgeotto flock. They stood side by side, facing several trainers with their respective Gym-level Pokémon, standing ready.
The auras of these Pokémon intertwined, forming a powerful oppressive force that surged towards Bulbasaur and Gabite.
"Where did these two Pokémon come from? How dare they obstruct our mission? If the mission isn't completed, it'll prevent me from getting my reward. These two Pokémon must die!"
"No, Gabite can fetch a good price!"
Heracross, at the signal of the lead trainer, launched the first attack.
It pushed off with its legs, rushing towards Bulbasaur like a cannonball, its huge pincers glinting coldly, accompanied by whistling wind, aiming directly for Bulbasaur's vital points.
Bulbasaur's vines shot out like lightning, and the absolute suppression of its strength allowed the vines to instantly entangle Heracross's claws.
Heracross struggled fiercely, its claws constantly exerting force, making "crunching" sounds, trying to break free from the restraint.
Seeing this, Bulbasaur's vines glowed with an eerie dark green light, fiercely piercing into the joint crevices of Heracross.
Heracross let out a painful roar, and dark green liquid continuously seeped from its wounds, its movements becoming sluggish.
At the same time, Ninetales, under its trainer's command, spewed a surging pillar of flame, sweeping towards Bulbasaur.
Bulbasaur was unable to dodge due to Heracross's entanglement.
Gabite sensed Bulbasaur's danger, its body tensed, muscles bulging, triangular ears trembling slightly, and its blood-red eyes already gleamed with the light of battle.
Gabite raised its head, opened its large mouth filled with sharp teeth, and a low, resonant roar emanated from deep within its throat. Immediately after, a scorching energy rapidly gathered in its mouth.
It suddenly lunged forward, simultaneously spewing a thick stream of fire from its mouth. The flames, imbued with powerful Dragon energy, were like a roaring giant dragon, accompanied by whistling wind, rapidly assaulting Ninetales.
Where the Dragon Breath passed, there was devastation, and the sand and stones on the ground were also swept up by this powerful force, flying everywhere.
Facing this surging attack, Ninetales's flames were quickly suppressed.
Electabuzz's hands continuously released crackling electricity, and under its trainer's command, a thick bolt of lightning struck towards Gabite.
Gabite nimbly turned in the air, and using the momentum of its descent, swung its sharp claws, using Slash, directly tearing open Electabuzz's defense.
Electabuzz's body was gashed open by the Dragon Claw, its electricity became erratic, letting out a painful cry, and it collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Gyarados opened its gaping maw and spewed a powerful Hydro Pump. The Hydro Pump, like a cannonball, shot towards Gabite.
Gabite had no time to dodge and was hit by the Hydro Pump, its body crashing heavily to the ground, sustaining considerable injuries.
But it quickly got up and charged towards Gyarados.
Its front limbs bent, muscles tensed again, accumulating powerful strength.
Immediately after, with an earth-shattering roar, its claws were instantly enveloped by a layer of dazzling light. The light was like flowing energy, exuding a chilling aura.
Gabite shot out like an arrow from a bowstring, moving so fast that it almost left only an afterimage.
It leaped high, and using the force of gravity, with all its strength, it fiercely swung its Dragon Claw at its opponent. The claws, enhanced by Dragon energy, sliced through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound, as if to tear space apart.
This strike was powerful and heavy, carrying an unstoppable momentum, aiming directly at Gyarados's vital points.
Magmar continuously launched multiple Fire Blasts, which arced through the air towards Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur waved its leaves, emitting countless sharp Razor Leafs, trying to block the Fire Blasts.
However, one Fire Blast still hit it, and Bulbasaur's body was engulfed in flames. It struggled painfully, shaking its body vigorously, only then extinguishing the flames.
But large patches of scorched marks had already appeared on its body.
Absol used Psycho Cut, and invisible blades flew towards Bulbasaur and Gabite.
Bulbasaur and Gabite stood back-to-back, cooperating with each other.
Bulbasaur blocked the Psycho Cut, while Gabite charged towards Absol. It swung its claws and teeth, using Fury Cutter, engaging in close-quarters combat with Absol.
Its claws swung at an extremely fast frequency, creating a series of afterimages.
The first strike, swift and powerful, heavily hit Absol's shoulder, causing Absol's body to tremble slightly. Before it could recover, Gabite's second strike followed, directly hitting its abdomen.
Absol was sent flying by this powerful force, sliding several meters on the ground before barely regaining its balance.
However, Gabite's attack did not stop there.
It took advantage of Absol not yet having fully stood up, and launched another Fury Cutter. This time, its attacks were even more ferocious, each swing of its claws accompanied by whistling wind.
Absol desperately dodged, but it was still difficult to fend off such a rapid attack. Wounds continuously appeared on its body, and after a heavy blow, it fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Two Dugtrio, under their trainers' command, launched a surprise attack from underground, attempting to bite Bulbasaur and Gabite's legs.
Bulbasaur sensed the movement underground. It plunged its vines deep into the earth, directly entangling one Dugtrio.
It swung hard, pulling the Dugtrio out from underground, and then severely punished it with Toxic.
The Dugtrio let out a painful cry, its body starting to blacken, clearly having been badly poisoned.
The other Dugtrio successfully hit Gabite, and Gabite's body uncontrollably went limp.
Steelix, like a moving steel fortress, approached Bulbasaur and Gabite. Its body continuously crushed the ground, making dull thudding sounds, and the ground collapsed wherever it passed.
Bulbasaur and Gabite felt immense pressure, but they did not retreat.
Bulbasaur concentrated its power, and using the time difference of the approaching Steelix, successfully condensed a Solar Beam, then fired it off fiercely.
The Solar Beam, carrying powerful energy, hit Steelix, leaving a deep indentation on Steelix's hard outer shell.
Gabite, on the other hand, jumped onto Steelix's body, continuously attacking its joints with Iron Tail.
Steelix twisted its body in pain, trying to shake Gabite off, but Gabite held on tightly, continuously launching attacks.
Eventually, Steelix's joints were destroyed by Gabite, and it fell to the ground, losing its ability to move.
Flygon, under its trainer's command, continuously released Sandstorm in the air. Sand particles flew like blades, attempting to obstruct Bulbasaur and Gabite's vision.
Bulbasaur and Gabite, relying on their keen senses, searched for Flygon's figure in the Sandstorm.
Gabite suddenly leaped up, swung its Dragon Claw, and directly hit Flygon's wing. Flygon's wing was gashed open, it lost its balance, and fell from the air.
Bulbasaur seized the opportunity to launch Leech Seed; the seeds quickly bound Flygon's body and began to absorb its energy, restoring itself.
Flygon struggled a few times, then lost its ability to battle.
As the battle continued, Bulbasaur and Gabite were also covered in wounds.
Bulbasaur's leaves were tattered, and there were multiple burn and scratch marks on its body; Gabite's scales were damaged.
But their eyes became even more determined, and they gradually gained the upper hand.
After another fierce confrontation, Heracross was completely poisoned by Bulbasaur's Sludge Bomb, foaming at the mouth and losing its ability to battle; Ninetales was hit by Gabite's Dragon Claw, its flames extinguished, and it lay on the ground, barely alive. Subsequently, other Pokémon also successively lost their ability to battle under their attacks.
Bulbasaur and Gabite themselves were also in bad shape, almost losing their ability to battle.
The opposing Police Station trainers recalled their trusted Pokémon, then smiled wickedly and threw out new Pokémon.
Just as the pressure was mounting, Misty and Brock arrived.
"Gyarados, Politoed, stop them!"
"Steelix, Golem, block them!"
"Who are you people!"
The Police Station trainers sternly rebuked.
Brock and Misty exchanged glances,
"Since you asked so sincerely!"
"We will tell you with great compassion!"
"Cerulean City Gym Leader Misty!"
"Pewter City Gym Leader Brock!"
"Stop at once!"
The Police Station trainers looked at each other, some of them having already recognized Brock and Misty's genuine identities.
Misty turned around, touched Bulbasaur with her hand, and said softly,
"It's alright, good child, we're here."
She then stroked Gabite with her other hand,
"We are Ash's partners, you know."
Cerulean Gym's Water-type Pokémon lined up in a battle formation behind her, Misty's long hair floating in the wind.
The moment she raised her hand, sixteen Starmie simultaneously raised their tentacles, blocking all attacks from the Police Station personnel's Pokémon.
"Dare to touch Ash's partners without asking my Cerulean Gym's Water-type Pokémon?"
At the same time, Brock squinted his eyes, one eye trembling violently, as if expressing something, extremely abstract.
Behind the Police Station trainers, several apprentices and disciples dressed in Pewter Gym's uniform had somehow crept up, carrying large sticks and stones they had picked up from the forest.
Quiet steps, low stance, quiet steps, low stance.
"Screw you!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang---"
Several rhythmic and melodic thuds sounded, and the Police Station trainers very cooperatively fell to the ground in succession.
Brock's mouth twitched, muttering to himself,
"Oh no, we took down the Viridian City Police Station people. Our Pewter City Mayor should be able to handle it, right?
Wait a minute, that kid Ash, he won't, hiss, oh no, it's going to be unmanageable."
On the other side, Ash was already confronting the Police Station personnel!
The Police Station personnel all put their hands on their waists, where their guns were located.
Beside Ash was a Snorlax, whose size far exceeded that of its kind, its eyes filled with killing intent.
The conversation between the two sides was not friendly, and the atmosphere was filled with sparks.
Snorlax had already tested the waters with a Hyper Beam.
A shout came from afar,
"Wait a minute, don't fight anymore, your Jenny has instructions."
What came into view was a dark-skinned young man, yes, it was Pewter City Gym Leader Brock.
Brock quickly handed his Pokémon Navigator to the Police Station personnel, then, amidst a chorus of terrifying gazes, pulled Ash over and hooked an arm around his shoulder.
"Things have gotten big, you've made quite a mess.
You take Pidgeot back to Pallet Town first, leave the rest to me and Misty, and you go inform Professor Oak."
Ash stared at Brock,
"Are you sure it's okay, Brock?"
"Don't worry, you go. Take Bulbasaur and the others, leave this place to me and Misty, we can still hold on. We'll meet again in Pallet Town."
Ash nodded heavily after hearing this, then turned and left.
The wind blew fiercely at this moment!
As Ash, carrying Pidgeot, disappeared at the edge of the forest, Brock looked at his retreating figure, unconsciously rubbing his Gym Badge.
Police sirens sounded in the distance, getting closer and closer.
"I hope Professor Oak can handle this..." he muttered to himself.
