Chapter 181 Energy Ball, Get
After leaving the wilderness area, Ash and his friends have arrived in a new city today.
The city is covered in greenery, and the air is fresh everywhere.
Meanwhile, on a grassy field on the outskirts of the city, Ash and his friends were having a leisurely lunch.
"Forest turtle!"
"Clam!"
Well, apart from Ash who is currently training, Brock and Dawn are relatively relaxed.
Under Ash's command, Torterra released an energy ball that was almost dark green in color at the huge rock in front of it.
After a loud bang, the rocks in front of them shattered instantly.
"Honestly! It's a leisurely lunchtime now. Can't we pick a better time and place to do training? What if someone complains to Officer Jenny here!"
After covering his ears to avoid yet another explosion, Dawn couldn't help but walk up behind Ash and slap him hard on the shoulder, complaining as he did so.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, I just couldn't help it."
Ash smiled awkwardly, realizing that breaking a rock in this situation was not appropriate.
But there's nothing we can do about it, it's just because—
"So, Ash, when exactly did your Torkoal learn Energy Ball?"
Xiao Gang, who was preparing sandwiches, asked this question with a puzzled look.
When passing through a small town, Ash switched Torterra back to his old pet, and he didn't train Torterra to learn any new skills in between.
But at noon today, the Torterra that came out for lunch seemed to have suddenly realized something and began to show Ash its newly learned skills. Ash was also interested and started to direct the Torterra to train with Energy Ball.
"I don't know, maybe it was found in Professor Oak's lab?"
Ash's tone was uncertain, and he looked at Torterra with a questioning gaze, but Torterra simply shook its head, denying their guess.
"Huh? So you suddenly learned it at noon today? That's really impressive..."
Seeing the forest turtle shake its head, Xiao Guang couldn't help but express his admiration for it.
After all, the ability to learn without a teacher is mostly based on evolution, or on the premise that one has already mastered a similar skill, or at the very least, on mastering it in extreme combat.
But it's quite puzzling that the forest tortoise mastered it so suddenly.
"yes....."
Ash answered casually.
Actually, he wouldn't normally train in this kind of situation, but Ash was genuinely surprised that Torterra had mastered the Energy Ball.
In the past, Turtwig spent a lot of time training to master the Energy Ball. However, this time, because Turtwig evolved ahead of schedule and the evolved Grovyle has already mastered many new skills, Ash originally wanted to slow down the pace and let Grovyle settle down.
But to his surprise, the forest tortoise brought him such a delightful surprise today.
However, upon closer reflection, this doesn't seem to be anything new.
Just like how Swim-Style learned how to use Ice Punch from Snorlax in Professor Oak's backyard, his Pokémon mastered skills with exceptionally high speed and quality after this time travel.
It's like—
I had already studied it once before, but I had forgotten it later. Studying it again was just a review and re-mastering, so it became simple.
There are so many doubts surrounding this.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but think to himself, "That's what I'm thinking."
However, this is not a bad thing after all, so Ash accepted this fact with peace of mind.
......
After retrieving the forest tortoise, Xiao Gang wiped the sweat from his brow and stood up, saying in less than ten minutes:
"Everything's ready! Come and eat!"
Xiao Gang proudly showed Xiao Zhi and the others today's lunch.
Although it's called a sandwich, the entire basket contains more than ten different types of sandwiches, filled with all kinds of vegetables, fruits and meats, offering a wide variety.
Outside the food basket, the freshly brewed milk tea was emitting a rich aroma of milk and tea. Just by smelling it, you could imagine how smooth and sweet the milk tea would taste after you put it in your mouth.
"This is amazing! Xiaogang, where did you prepare all these ingredients?"
Xiao Zhi quickly sat down on the placemat and asked Xiao Gang excitedly.
"Just now, during those few minutes we were apart, I bought a bunch of fruit at a nearby fruit stand, and the other ingredients were prepared in the last town, all for today's picnic!"
A glint of light flashed in Xiao Gang's narrowed eyes. He then picked up his travel guide and, pointing to the city, said to the two:
"Before arriving in this city, I already knew that it was called the Spring City, that the whole city was covered in greenery, and that there was an unpredictable wind blowing all year round."
In the sweltering summer, the outskirts of this spring city are perfect for picnics! Plus, it's abundant with all sorts of fruits and vegetables—cheap and delicious! As someone who dreams of becoming a part-time professional chef, this is an opportunity I absolutely can't miss!
"Have you ever had such a dream before...? This is the first time I've heard of it..."
Compared to Xiaogang's introduction of the city, Xiaoguang was clearly more interested in Xiaogang's final sentence.
Despite being teased by Xiao Guang, Xiao Gang didn't feel embarrassed. He just coughed lightly, then sat down as well, spreading out his palms to indicate:
"Anyway, that's all the food for today's picnic. Eat up! We can make more if you finish it!"
"Well, then—"
"So--"
"I'm going to start eating!" *2
"Pikachu!"
Just as everyone was about to start enjoying their lunch, an irregular gust of wind suddenly blew from the upper sky, brushing against their faces.
Ash and his friends wouldn't have cared if it were just a gentle breeze, but along with the breeze came a loud, booming sound.
