Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

"Be your own light. It doesn't need to be too bright. Just look up and you will see hope..." Humming a tune, Xiaozhi and Pikachu walked out of the Pokemon Center in Nibe City.

Strolling along the shopping street, Xiaozhi was in a good mood, even a little excited.

Although I no longer have two friends around me to quarrel with and joke with, my achievements so far are enough to make me satisfied.

Last time, I was fully focused on going to the gym, badges, and league meetings. I was in a hurry to travel and fight, and I didn’t have time to go shopping and appreciate the world like I do now.

The result is naturally worthy of their panic. What is the round of 16? Simply put, it is a consolation prize.

The Alliance gives you a certificate to tell you that you have something, but not much. Keep working hard...

Sometimes, if you don’t lower your head when walking, you can really see a different scenery.

As the sky darkens, people can be seen coming and going on the streets bathed in warm light.

The street food stalls have already started business, and a few friends are invited to go there to have a drink to comfort themselves after a day of hard work.

The father carried his daughter on his shoulders, the daughter was holding a Pikachu doll, and the mother with a bright smile was next to her. The family of three was waiting for the freshly fried meat patties at the corner grocery store.

The hawkers’ cries, the children’s laughter, and the adults’ calls for their families to come home for dinner.

Xiaozhi bought some food and travel supplies, and held a candied haws in one hand, competing with Pikachu to see who could lick it faster.

"Come on, come on~ make money with money!" In front of a small stall stacked with aquariums on the street, a funny-looking uncle waved at Xiaozhi.

"Huh? Me?" Xiaozhi pointed at himself. The uncle nodded and smiled more cunningly.

"Uncle, is there anything wrong?" Xiaozhi asked vaguely while eating a candied haws with Pikachu on his shoulder.

The uncle was secretly delighted, thinking it was another naive new trainer!

"Brother, let me tell you, your luck has come." The uncle covered his mouth with one hand and spoke cautiously, "I have a precious Pokémon here."

Xiaozhi glanced at the aquarium, and inside was a group of plump Magikarp wearing golden crowns.

However, the "wise" look in its eyes, the tail swinging back and forth, and the eager movement to jump brought back bad memories for Xiaozhi.

That was the story before the world line closed. I was fishing in the pond outside Pallet Town, and then... I was fooled by a Magikarp that was caught...

Good man, I slapped myself several times in the face, and the worst thing is that Xiao Mao saw it!

I was ridiculed for half a year because of this!

"Uncle, you're not going to tell me that these Magikarp, which are more numerous than wild dogs, are treasures?

Or do you want to lie to me and say that this thing can produce gold?

Just think about it, if you dare to say that, I will immediately let Pikachu hit you with a five-thunderbolt attack, and then call the police to arrest you." Xiaozhi stared at the uncle selling Magikarp viciously.

"Damn! We've run into trouble." The uncle who was selling Magikarp didn't dare to brag anymore, because lightning had begun to surge on Pikachu's cheeks.

If I were to do this to myself, I would urinate a few drops without getting electrocuted...

"I admit defeat! My friend, can you give me a chance to live?"

Xiaozhi smiled slightly, and showed a sunny smile again: "Don't worry, I don't want to target you. When doing business, you should listen to my advice. Genuine goods and fair prices are the long-term solution."

"Alas~ I am unlucky to meet you. I will pack up and leave now." The uncle is also a ruthless person. He doesn't want me to cheat, right? Then I will quit.

Anyway, it’s just not an honest business!

"Don't be anxious, pack up this Magikarp for me." Xiaozhi pointed to the largest Magikarp in the tank.

This guy has bulging muscles and a nice look in the eyes.

Ordinary Magikarp: ●)o(●……

This Magikarp: (｀皿′)…

"Alright, there's no acquaintance without fighting, so just watch and give it to me." The uncle didn't hesitate, he stretched out his hand and took the Magikarp out to Xiaozhi.

"Coke Coke!" As soon as Magikarp entered Xiaozhi's arms, it swung around. Wow, the huge force almost blew Pikachu away.

"Pika! (??v_v??:)!" Pikachu was immediately unhappy.

"Oh... That's terrible!" Xiaozhi's scalp numbed and he threw the Magikarp directly into the sky.

"Qiu!!" As soon as he let go, a loud thunder struck down from the sky!

Oh my god, it’s thunder!

Xiaozhi felt sad in his heart, "Good boy, did I ask you to learn a big move so that you can give me electrotherapy?"

"Gurgle gurgle..." Didn't you see that the Magikarp was charred all over and started to foam at the mouth?

After taking out a Poké Ball and capturing Magikarp, Xiaozhi wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Pikachu, wait until I'm free before you chop me. You almost killed me just now..."

"Pika Pika~" Pikachu touched the back of his head and acted cute in embarrassment.

"Uncle, here's five hundred dollars, is that enough?" Xiaozhi took out the banknotes and handed them to the uncle who was selling the Magikarp.

The uncle was frightened by Pikachu. He quickly took the money, turned around and ran away carrying the water tank.

My goodness, this five thunderbolts will hit me like a slag...

Xiaozhi shrugged helplessly, since Magikarp had bought it himself anyway.

Take out the Pokédex, place the Poké Ball on the sensing area, and Magikarp's detailed information will immediately appear.

"Oh~ The skill I can use includes collision, which is enough!" Xiaozhi nodded with satisfaction.

If the only thing it can do is splash and jump, then there is no way to cultivate it and you can only wait and see.

However, the Magikarp who has mastered the collision has the qualifications for promotion.

As long as you find the right opponent, you can accumulate experience and transform into a dragon!

Gyarados, this is a killer weapon that can be mastered in the early stage. Five hundred dollars is in hand, Xiaozhi couldn't help but happily hugged Pikachu and rubbed it: "Hey, I'll go fight the fisherman later!"

After walking around again and seeing that it was almost time, Xiaozhi took advantage of the last rays of light from the setting sun, left the city, and entered the mountain road of Yuejian Mountain.

Walking on the ghostly mountain road, Xiaozhi was not afraid at all, but rather a little excited.

"Hehe, it's a dark and windy night. I wonder if I will encounter a wild Gastly, or a Zubat that hides during the day and comes out at night." Carrying Pikachu, Xiaozhi blinked expectantly and looked around.

With insect repellent spray in his backpack, Xiaozhi planned to cross Moon Mountain while the night was still bright, then find a place to spread out his sleeping bag and have a good sleep. He would be able to reach Cerulean City tomorrow.

"Hey! Stop! Who are you, acting like a ghost on the mountain in the middle of the night!" Suddenly, a man in a white shirt in front caught Xiaozhi's attention.

"You~! You are so rude!" The man turned around and pushed up his thick glasses. "I'm from the Nibi City Museum, a science madman who loves field research, Ajia!"

Xiaozhi chuckled and raised his Poké Ball: "Since we've met, let's fight it out here, let's do it!"

The science guy pushed up his glasses and said, "Well, it's just right. Since I've interrupted your interest in fossil hunting, let me teach you a lesson."

Under the moonlight, the two men prepared for a battle in the wild, which was about to begin!

To be continued...
