He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4290 The Bully of Muguang Forest?

During the time Ash spent returning from Motostoke and notifying local bullies for help, he also noticed some strange things happening in the castle.

To be precise, it's his Pokémon.

Because of the lack of space inside the watchtower castle, his Galar team has been training mostly in the open areas around the castle lately.

They even scattered, reaching deeper into the wilderness.

He doesn't have the ability to create clones, so he can't keep track of every Pokémon's whereabouts. He can basically only look after the few that are training in the open space in front of the door.

One day, the Onion Soldier returned, its wings bent and covered in wounds.

Even the two-meter-long scallion spear he carried on his shoulder was bent at an exaggerated angle in the middle, looking as if it had been forcibly bent by some strange force.

Xiao Zhi: "?"

Not long after, the armored dragon returned.

"Carapace."

It approached the castle in a muffled manner, and its gray-white shell surface showed many visibly numerous impact dents.

Next up was Flare Ace, bruised and battered, looking resentful and limping as he walked.

Ash raised an eyebrow. What's wrong with Cinderace?!

Next up is Gengar, whose lower body is weak and whose steps are unsteady.

"Jie Jie"

It floated back, leaning against the wall, looking extremely tired.

Of course, Gengar is not considered an unusual phenomenon.

Finally, there's the Gillfish Dragon, whose entire head was knocked up at a 90-degree angle, resembling the style of a gillfish sea monster!

Looking at the lined-up wounded, Xiao Zhi's expression gradually became strange.

"what happened?"

These two all look like they've been given a good scolding by someone.

Could it be that some incredibly powerful bully Pokémon has recently appeared in the Wild Area?

That shouldn't be the case.

Putting aside everything else, Flame Ace used to wander the wilderness for a long time, so he has a lot of experience in independent combat in the wild and is very good at it.

It's not impossible that the others will also be beaten up.

But with the power of Flame Ace, it shouldn't be that he got beaten up so badly, right?

“Beeh.”

Flame Ace sat on the ground, one hand supporting his cheek, his ears drooping.

"Wait a minute, I remember!"

At that moment, Ash raised an eyebrow, as if he had suddenly remembered something—

Before he went to Kenseki City, it seems that Master Martial Arts also returned injured from the depths of the wilderness.

He was in a hurry to get to Hammerlocke City at the time, so this matter was temporarily put on hold.

Ash was really flustered!

It's powerful enough to injure even a martial arts master like Xiong.

This level of power is probably already at the level of a legendary Pokémon, right?

Ash quickly called Magearna over, and she immediately understood and raised one of her hand cannons.

"Chirp chirp~!"

Several dazzling Flower Therapy Cannon shots were fired in succession, transforming into a soft, healing green light, which immediately alleviated the injuries on the Pokémon.

The leek spears of the leek soldiers gradually straightened, and the impact grooves on the shells of the armored dragons were refilled.

"Gills!"

The head of the ichthyosaur is still tilted upwards like a stiff neck; it will probably take a while to recover.

Ash quickly squatted down in front of Cinderace, his tone becoming more serious.

"How is it? Who injured you?"

Flame Ace stared intently, remained silent for a moment, then finally turned her head away, shaking her head with a hint of shame and indignation:

“Beeh.”

Ash turned to look at the Mr. Mime beside him.

With the Mr. Mime as our expert translator, communication will be much easier this time.

"Bari!"

However, the Mr. Mime also showed a strange expression, then quickly tapped on the Rotom phone and emitted an AI voice:

"Ace Flame said, 'I don't want to say.'"

Xiao Zhi: "?"

He curled his lip, looking puzzled.

What does it mean?

Ash then looked at Sirfetch'd, Shellder, and other Pokémon—

However, the guys all looked pretty much the same, with their heads down in frustration, and they didn't say much.

Ash stood with his hands on his hips, completely bewildered. This was something he couldn't figure out. But soon, he pulled down his hat brim and turned to look in the direction the Pokémon had come from.

Since neither of them would tell him, he would have no choice but to go and find out for himself who this person was!

Of course, before setting off, we must first mobilize our troops.

Ash turned back to his Galar team and waved his hand dismissively:

"Who wants to come with me?"

It has a kind of "Gentlemen, who is willing to go to war with me?" attitude!

As soon as he finished speaking, several figures surrounded him—

"Bari~!"

The Mr. Mime was the first to raise his hand and volunteer.

It has recently gained considerable experience in manipulating the feathers of the Galar Articuno, so it's a good time to give it a try!

Immediately afterwards, Maya also came closer, her soul heart glowing pink in her chest cavity.

"Chirp~"

She wanted to use Mega Evolution a few more times!

Then Corviknight and Draco.

"Meta—!!"

Melumet raised his thick, nut-like arm high and let out a loud roar.

How dare they beat up their own teammate right in their own backyard?

Do they really think this mythical beast doesn't exist?!

Victini circled around once and gently landed on Ash's hat, its expression delighted.

"Piccoo~!"

It sensed the strong "will to win" of all the Pokémon!

Of course, there are also the trump cards up their sleeves.

"Pikachu~!"

Pikachu nimbly jumped onto Ash's shoulder and sat firmly.

Those who were basically uninjured planned to go on the expedition together, lined up in formation, looking valiant and ready to go!

However, nearby, Cinderace, Sirfetch'd, and a few other Pokémon exchanged glances.

There was a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

"A Pokémon that can injure even Cinderace and Urshifu?"

"interesting!"

Inside the gate, Mary and Xiaoyou also heard the commotion and their interest was immediately piqued.

After letting their Pokémon roam freely for a short while, they both gathered around, ready to give a strong look.

So Ash walked in front, holding a short piece of scallion in his hand, raising it high.

Nowadays, Onion Soldier carries the Ghost Sword Stone to practice mastering the "King's Shield," and rarely uses the Onion item anymore.

It's perfect for use as a conductor's baton!

He pressed the short scallion forward, his voice booming like a teacher leading a team:

"Alright everyone, that's enough dog ditch!"

The two girls and the Pokémon quickly followed.

As for the destination—

"Bari~"

Mr. Mime walked beside Ash, using Rotom on his phone to simultaneously broadcast AI voice commands:

"It should be the location of the Bathing Light Forest, right?"

As the head steward of Watchtower Castle, it had a general idea of ​​where the Pokémon usually trained in the Wild Area.

Xiao Zhi nodded; there was no need to adjust the direction.

"The Forest Bathed in Light~"

It was located directly south of the watchtower castle, in a forested area in the southwestern corner of the wilderness.

He still remembered that place; it wasn't a vast, mysterious forest, and its area wasn't very large.

"I remember the first bully in the Sunlit Forest was a female tigress, wasn't she?"

The second generation turned into a speaker cricket—

As a result, it was severely burned by its own pink Butterfree with a Flame Weather Ball, and was never seen again.

So, he should be the third generation now? (End of Chapter)
