Chapter 178 Corrupting an Innocent Girl
Chapter 178 Corrupting an Innocent Girl (Bonus Chapter 1)
For some reason, black smoke has been rising from the forest path outside Ruoye Town today.
Nearby residents thought it was a fire, which alerted the town's fire department.
However, when the firefighters arrived at the scene, they found that everything around them was safe and sound, with no signs of fire.
And the culprit behind all this is, of course,...
"Eevee, Quick Attack!"
With a kick of his short legs, Ibli landed and knocked the opposing Big Tail flying.
Ōo-tachi's slender body immediately "pressed" against the tree trunk behind him, shaking off a large number of leaves, and he lost consciousness.
Eevee won the battle easily. "Well done!" Ash went up and gave Eevee a pat as a reward.
"Eevee~"
[Ding! Eevee: Affection +1; Intimacy +1]
However, besides enjoying Ash's petting as usual, Eevee looked at him with a hint of fear in its eyes.
Because at this moment, Ash's entire face was shrouded in black smoke, and only the fierce glint in his eyes could be seen.
The reason Eevee won the battle so easily was partly because Oolong was frightened by Ash's terrifying appearance.
"Ash, are you really going to keep this device running like this?" Misty was starting to feel the smoke and couldn't take it anymore.
Although the black smoke had no smell, it still obstructed the view.
Xiao Zhi also stated that he was doing his best to gather and purify the black smoke.
But the black smoke coming out of the incubator is just like the bacon from a steam train.
He was helpless too.
"It's rare to be alone now, so of course we should quickly turn up the engine to full power and clear out the black smoke so we don't have to do this again."
That's what they said, but due to Xiaoxia's strong protest, Xiaozhi could only go to the very back of the group.
Even Pikachu was so bothered by the black mist that it ran onto Misty's shoulder.
"Damn it, why do I feel like I've been abandoned?"
But there's nothing we can do about it; Ash is like a cosplayer dressed as Ghost Rider, so who would dare stand next to him?
"For Lugia, this is all tolerable!"
Just then, Ash suddenly noticed the sounds of a battle coming from the bushes nearby.
She quickly called Xiaoxia over to check, and found a cute girl wearing a yellow and black striped baseball jacket on the other side of the bushes.
She was also wearing a Chikorita with a yellow headband tied around its head, and was fiercely battling Popo in the open space.
"She's a new trainer." Misty noticed the girl's naivety at a glance.
"Chrysanthemum Leaf is the one we rescued, so this child must have also come from Wakaba Town."
Hearing this, Ash couldn't help but feel a little sad, because the newcomers who got lost and started later than them had already caught up in their travel progress.
"But is she catching Pokémon?"
Seeing this scene made Ash feel a little nostalgic, as it reminded him of the first time he tried to catch a Pokémon after leaving Pallet Town.
"Go, go, Chicory Leaf! Never give up on Chicory Leaf!"
"Pitcher number one, Chikorita, use a slam!"
This cute girl is quite passionate; she kept cheering for Chikorita on with her megaphone during the battle.
Unfortunately, he performed very inexperiencedly, and the timing of his commands was also inappropriate.
This is completely different from how Ash tamed Pikachu with his fists back then.
"The quality of this year's new trainers isn't good," Ash said, a little disappointed.
"You're such a freak! What kind of rookie trainer are you?!"
Do you know how shocked Xiaoxia was when she saw Ash, who only had one Pikachu, facing a powerful enemy, and she actually ran up and beat up the opponent herself?
Chicory struggled forward, but couldn't touch a single hair on Popo's head.
Instead, Popo seized the opportunity to fly into the sky and used Wind to blow Chikorita away.
Then it took the opportunity to swoop down to prepare to use the cough attack.
"It looks like Chikorita is going to lose." Ash didn't want to watch anymore and was about to leave.
But then the girl suddenly grabbed a rock and threw it at Bobo, using her megaphone as a baseball bat.
I swung my sword hard in the direction from which the bob flew, and bang!
Home run!
"Damn it, as a fan of the Electric Beasts baseball team, Nana already promised her family before she went on this trip."
"We absolutely won't let down all the fans of Team Electabuzz; we must keep winning!"
Pidgey, who had been punched in the head, was a little angry, and the girl took the opportunity to throw out a Poké Ball and successfully captured it!
"Good Chikorita! We won our first Pokémon battle!" The girl picked up her Pokémon and spun around in celebration.
"This isn't a Pokémon battle, is it?"
"This is simply genius!"
Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi each expressed different feelings.
Ash never expected to discover such a promising wild fighter so casually.
They immediately emerged from the bushes, as if a sect elder had spotted a wild prodigy who had been left behind.
Now Ash wants to give some guidance to the girl named Nana.
However, because of the incubator hanging around his neck, Ash's appearance at this moment looked a little scary.
"Ahhh, a ghost!"
Sure enough, Nana turned around when she heard the noise and was immediately startled.
He picked up a chrysanthemum leaf and ran away, tumbling and falling on the way.
"It's not that scary."
Awkward, Ash turned off the incubator and handed it to Misty.
He went over and helped the little girl up.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just a trainer named Ash who's passing by."
At this moment, Nana was finally able to see Ash's face clearly. He was a sunny and cheerful person of the same age, definitely not a monster.
At this moment, Pikachu also came over worriedly.
"Ah, so cute! I love yellow Pokémon with black stripes the most!"
"Wait, you can't hug Pikachu—"
Nana suddenly hugged Pikachu into her arms. So she's a girl who likes yellow. That sounds a bit strange.
"Pikachu~"
Startled, Pikachu unleashed a small lightning bolt. Although the lightning struck them, neither of them was seriously injured.
Nana suddenly realized something, her face flushed, and she immediately jumped out of Satoshi's arms.
"Did you see everything just now?"
Xiao Zhi nodded with satisfaction.
"You did an excellent job, girl, especially that home run—it was so clean and beautiful!"
Nana's face turned even redder. It turned out that everyone had actually seen her cheating after losing the battle.
And this guy even came over to mock me; he must be a fan of our arch-rival, the Gyarados baseball team.
"You, you, you! I challenge you on behalf of Team Electabuzz!"
"?"
This girl seems to have some brain circuit issues.
"But isn't the Electric Beasts baseball team that weak team they've never beaten?"
"Are you a fan of this team?"
Although Ash doesn't like watching baseball, he's heard of it—it's a legendary team that never loses.
Precisely avoiding pitfalls is now essential; not engaging in combat is no longer an option.
Nana released the Pod that she had just captured, looking ready.
"I'll stake my dignity on this, Nana! I will definitely defeat you!"
"There must be some misunderstanding here. Nana, listen to me, it's best not to fight this guy."
Xiaoxia couldn't bear to see the cute little girl suffer at Xiaozhi's hands, so she came between them to try and persuade Nana.
Unfortunately, she was blinded by anger and wouldn't listen to anyone.
Xiao Zhi readily agreed to this.
"Then let me show you what a seasoned trainer really is! Pikachu, go!"
Ash, showing no respect for his seniors, actually sent out Pikachu.
Seeing how eager the two were to try, Xiaoxia didn't say anything more and could only step back and act as the referee.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "The Girl Who Likes Yellow": Let the newcomer Nana understand the true meaning of being a Pokémon Trainer!]

This was a match with no suspense whatsoever.
Nana's Pidgey hadn't even launched an attack when it was knocked down by Pikachu's tiny 10-volt attack.
"Ah, my Bobo—"
The unwilling girl sent out her Chikorita again, only to be easily knocked away by Pikachu.
"Ah, my chrysanthemum leaves—"
"Chikorita is unable to battle, Pikachu wins!" Misty announced the battle result.
There's no way around it, the level difference is too great.
The little girl was a bit discouraged and knelt on the ground, feeling dejected.
"Do I really lack the talent to be a trainer?!"
"No, actually you're very talented; in my eyes, you're a genius!"
"Really?"
Arriving beside her, Ash cupped Nana's face in his hands and looked intently into her eyes.
"Of course!" Noto is a genius!
[Ding! Nana: Affection +3]
"Besides, losing to him isn't shameful. Ash is the champion of the Kanto League Tournament," Misty added, trying to comfort her.
"Wow, Ash, you're amazing!"
Suddenly, a tall, fierce-looking bear-type Pokémon darted out from the bushes nearby.
He yelled at Ash and his friends.
Seeing these Pokémon up close is truly shocking. Nana was so scared her body went limp, and even Misty's face turned pale.
"Oh, another Pokémon I've never seen before!" Ash exclaimed excitedly, shielding the two girls behind him.
"I've made up my mind, I'm going to subdue it!"
"Wait, Ash! That's a Ursaring! We'd better run!"
As a local, Nana knows better how terrifying the circly bear is; her elders always say that if you encounter one, you must run away immediately.
"It's okay, trust me." Ash responded to Nana with a warm smile.
"Watch closely, see how a real trainer does it!"
Ursaring's arm hammer came at Ash, but Ash simply reached out and blocked it, preventing the attack from advancing any further.
"This circle bear is very strong and of a high level." It must be the overlord of this forest.
With such a Pokémon around, it's no wonder Ash didn't see a single person along the way.
It was just Nana, a newbie on her journey, and Ash, the perpetually lost soul.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
As Pikachu's electric shock rang out, Ash picked up a boulder and smashed it down on Ursaring's head.
With a thud, the Circular Bear showed a pained expression.
Ash took the opportunity to knock it down, climbed onto its back, and rained punches down on Ursaring's body.
"Ouch,~" (I just woke up~)
The little bear's screams continued incessantly; all it wanted now was to get home as quickly as possible.
"So this is what a true trainer looks like." Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Nana, I understand now!
"Don't learn this! This isn't normal!"
Xiaoxia's attempts to dissuade her were naturally ineffective, and Nana looked at Xiaozhi with eyes full of admiration.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest "The Girl Who Likes Yellow": Help the newcomer Nana understand the true meaning of being a Pokémon Trainer!]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +2000; Stamina +1; Free Attribute Points +2; Dyed Berry (Yellow and Black) Unlocked]
Seeing that the fight was almost over, Ash took out a Poké Ball and held it in front of Ursaring's face.
"Do you want to continue being pampered by me, or do you want to get inside the ball?"
The bruised and battered bear immediately made its choice, thud!
"Okay, I got the Circle Bear!"
"Amazing, Ash!" Nana learned the true meaning of being a Pokémon Trainer from Ash.
Ash was very pleased and handed over his training manual to this talented and perceptive girl.
"From now on, you will be my nominal disciple."
"It's Mr. Ash!"
Ash and Nana embraced goodbye as the sun set.
"Ash-sensei, I will be just like Team Electabuzz, never giving up even after repeated defeats, and persevering on the path of becoming a Pokémon Trainer!"
"You'll see how much I've improved when we meet at the league tournament!"
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you!"
After today, the girl Nana is officially transformed and embarks on the journey to find Ash!
"I always feel like you're harming people." Xiaoxia painfully witnessed a young girl embarking on the evil path of becoming a flesh-bodied grass monster.
"No way, I'm just contributing to nurturing the future pillars of the alliance!"
After saying goodbye to Nana, Ash and Misty continued their journey for two more days.
Because he ruined the League's future star, Ash felt extra energetic while traveling.
Unexpectedly, one morning, when Suiki was using the egg incubator as a machine to absorb the black smoke from the body...
The little black egg suddenly emitted bursts of light in the incubator, and everyone immediately gathered around.
Ash excitedly placed the incubator in the center of the group. "Is it finally going to hatch?"
