Pokémon the Movie: Pallet Town Rookie

Xiaoyuan and Nana stayed in the Pokémon Center for a few days. Xiaoyuan's injuries had almost healed her enough to allow her to move normally. One day, Xiaoyuan stood at the door of the Pokémon Center, looking at the rising sun and stretching lazily.

"Ah~, why are there so many people here today?" Xiao Yuan asked curiously as she watched people coming and going.

"Master, it looks like you are in a good mood today!" Nana suddenly appeared behind Xiaoyuan and said happily.

Xiao Yuan looked at Nana's mischievous expression, smiled and said, "No, no, by the way, Nana, how long will the insect catching competition take? We have been waiting for several days."

Nana smiled and said, "Master, the insect catching competition is today, and the venue is the natural park in front."

"Ah? Wait, it's today? Why didn't you tell me?" Xiao Yuan asked.

Nana looked at Xiaoyuan's injury, smiled, and said, "The insect catching competition is not as important as your recovery. Master, it's okay if I don't participate."

"No, since I promised, I must do it. Nana, let's go and sign up." After saying that, Xiaoyuan suddenly reached out, took Nana's arm, and walked straight into the crowd.

They walked a short distance before they saw three familiar faces. Nana looked at the three people and felt that they looked familiar, so she asked, "Master, those three seem to be the people we met in Manjin City before."

When Xiaoyuan heard this, she smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, and Xiaogang!"

"Hey, listening to this voice, it seems to be Xiaoyuan." Xiaozhi said.

"Pikachu!" The Pikachu on Xiaozhi's shoulder nodded, then looked back and shouted excitedly: "Pika!"

Then, Pikachu actually jumped off Satoshi's shoulder and ran up to greet him.

Xiao Yuan looked at Pikachu, smiled, squatted down, touched its head, and said, "I'm sorry, Pikachu, I didn't prepare ketchup today, why don't you just use the blue orange."

After saying that, Xiaoyuan produced a few blue oranges from her hands and placed them in Pikachu's small palm.

"Pika!" Pikachu took it happily, stood aside and chewed it slowly.

"Xiaoyuan, why did you come just now? The competition is about to start!" Xiaozhi looked at Xiaoyuan and asked puzzledly.

"What? It's about to start? I haven't signed up yet! No, I have to hurry, Nana, let's go!" Xiaoyuan said hurriedly.

"No need, Master. I knew you would come today. I have already registered for you!" Nana said proudly when she heard this.

"Have you signed up for me? No, how did you do it?" Xiao Yuan asked suspiciously when she heard this.

"Master, this isn't a formal competition, so you don't need an illustrated guide to register. I remember you mentioned your place of origin before, so I'll register for you."

"Okay! Let's get ready quickly! Remember, you can only bring one Pokémon to the Insect Catching Competition, right?" Xiao Yuan said.

"Yes, Master, I've made up my mind. I'll let Bayleaf accompany me. Come out, Bayleaf." Nana took out a Pokéball and threw it into the sky just like throwing a baseball.

"Beibei." Bayleaf looked at Nana and called happily.

Seeing that Nana had made up her mind, Xiaoyuan looked at Xiaozhi again.

Xiaozhi looked at Xiaoyuan and said without hesitation: "Of course I will use Pikachu, right, Pikachu."

"Pikapi." Pikachu responded happily while eating blue orange.

"Master, what about you?" Nana asked curiously.

"As for me, since that's the case, I'll use it! Come out, Venusaur!" Seeing that they all used their original partners, Xiao Yuan no longer hesitated between Charizard and Venusaur.

"Da no da no." Bulbasaur was released and shouted seriously.

Xiao Yuan looked at Venusaur, smiled, and said, "Vulpes, during the insect catching competition later, my personal safety will be in your hands!"

"Da no da no!" Bulbasaur responded confidently after hearing Xiaoyuan's words.

"Hahahaha, that's good, that's good, alright, Xiaozhi, Nana, let's enter! Xiaozhi, I plan to act with Nana later, what about you?" Xiaoyuan said.

"Me? Of course I'll look around. If the three of us go together, there won't be enough resources to go around." After hearing Xiaoyuan's words, Xiaozhi actually thought about it seriously for a while and said.

"Hahaha, okay! Let's enter then!" Xiaoyuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard Xiaozhi's words, and then she walked into the competition area with Bulbasaur.

Soon, the chairman of this conference arrived. He stepped onto the podium, paused, and said, "Now I will announce the rules of the competition. Each trainer can only use one Pokémon. When catching insect Pokémon, please use the Park Balls we distribute. Each person can only have one Park Ball. Before catching the Pokémon you like, you can release them in rotation until you catch the Pokémon you like. Finally, the winner of this conference will be decided and announced by our Review Committee. This conference is limited to three hours, so I declare that the Insect Catching Competition begins now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the contestants dispersed instantly. Even Nana and Xiaozhi looked at each other and immediately parted ways, running in opposite directions.

"Hey, hey, Nana, I'm still injured, please wait for me, oh, this little girl, really." Xiaoyuan and Bulbasaur looked at the fighting backs of Nana and Bayleaf, looked at each other helplessly, and then smiled knowingly.

Soon, Venusaur understood what Xiaoyuan meant. It slowly stretched out its whip, gently placed Xiaoyuan on its back, and then chased after Nanana.

Soon, Venusaur arrived at Nana's place, only to see that Nana had already been fighting with a green caterpillar. When she saw Xiaoyuan catching up with her, she immediately said proudly, "Master, I didn't help you at all last time, so this time I'll show you how much progress I've made in the past month! Bay Leaf, Flying Leaf Blade!"

"cowry!"

When the laurel leaf heard Nana's order, it immediately took a fighting stance. The giant leaf on its head waved forward, and countless flying leaves attacked the caterpillar in an instant.

The Caterpillar looked at the flying leaves and couldn't understand how he, with such strength that even a dog would shake his head, had provoked this female devil. Even in the insect catching competition, with his strength, he would be competing with the unicorn beetle for the last place. Yet, he was just eating grass quietly, but he had to be beaten.

Sure enough, as soon as the flying leaf blew, the Caterpillar was knocked away in an instant, and lost its ability to fight without any suspense.

Nana saw the caterpillar fall down, and threw the park ball without hesitation, saying, "Okay, strike out, now is the time, end the fight, go ahead, park ball."

Sure enough, as soon as the ball was thrown, the insect was caught.
