22. New Catch

Seeing Pikachu joining the battle, Quilava stopped moving and stood not far behind Pikachu and watched quietly.

Then, it looked at Ash, who was standing behind it and Pikachu, and the flames above its head and behind its tail went out.

"Ash, that Quilava's flame is extinguished, is it okay?" Misty couldn't help but ask with concern when she saw this scene.

In her impression, the flames on the fire Pokémon, such as the flames on Charizard's tail, represent its fire as its life. If the flame is weak, it means that its life is in danger.

Ash shook his head, "Quilava's flame is different from Charizard's. This is the flame of its fighting spirit. It seems that this little guy is ready to watch the ongoing show show!"

Let Pikachu fight one against two, Ash is really not afraid!

Pikachu's sudden Thunderbolt was so electrifying that the Tentacruel was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, perfect with a little soy sauce. Even if it hadn't completely lost its fighting ability, it couldn't do much of anything.

"Damn it, Golem, Rollout!"

The Golem used Rollout, and the ground seemed to be shaking quite a bit.

"Quick Attack to dodge, then use Iron Tail!"

Ash's order is a bit too fast as the Golem was quickly approaching, but he believes that Pikachu will be able to do it!

Pikachu turned into a flash, avoided Golem's Rollout, and then chased after him from behind!

The tail behind him shimmered with a metallic light, and Pikachu's Iron Tail became more and more powerful with the more times he uses it in more battles.

Before the Trainer on the opposite side could react, he watched as Pikachu jumped on top of the Golem during the Rollout and smashed it down hard!

"Dafakious"

In just two face-to-face encounters, Pikachu had already beaten two huge Pokémon on the opposite side to half a pulp.

"I see, with your strength, even if you prepare several Pokémon that can restrain fire-type Pokémon, you are still not the opponent of this Quilava!" Ash still held the empty Poké Ball in his hand, and quickly dismissed this person, subduing the Quilava. It's business!

"Hmph, don't be proud!" The cocky trainer seemed to realize that Ash was an extremely powerful trainer and he was not at his level at all. After taking back both Pokémon, he looked at Quilava with a look of reluctance, but made no move.

Ash didn't mind that this person was watching.

"Quilava, come and fight me, I want to you to be my Pokémon!" Ash pointed the empty Poké Ball at Quilava, which was a gesture to initiate a challenge in order to catch it.

Quilava glanced at Ash, stood up, and the flames of fighting spirit appeared on the top of his head and behind his tail once again.

It responded to the challenge!

This shows that it recognizes Ash as a strong Trainer!

"Damn that rat!"

Seeing Quilava like this, the cocky guy gritted his teeth. He spent a whole week chasing after this Quilava.

The battle alone has been carried out countless times, and the original Cyndaquil has also been battle-evolved because of him.

After evolving, Quilava has become much tougher in both strength and personality, making it even more difficult to conquer it.

Now it seems that everything I have done has made this guy his wedding dress!

"Pikachu, use Quick Attack!"

Pikachu transformed into a white/yellow flash again and ran fast towards Quilava.

At that moment, Quilava's figure also disappeared, and he also used his own Quick Attack to counter Ash's Pikachu's one!

Judging from the speed it was showing at the moment, its battle with Sandslash just now was indeed just playing tricks on his opposition!

Pikachu and Quilava, using the same move, Quick Attack, collided fiercely against each other.

With physical contact, Pikachu let out a cry of pain and retreated.

When Ash saw it, Pikachu's head turned red. Quilava on the opposite side seemed to be doing the same. He rubbed his head with his tiny paws, then suddenly lowered his head, and pointed the flame above his head at Pikachu!

"Flamethrower?"

Of course Ash recognized this classic fire skill, and it was so fast that Pikachu had no time to avoid it!

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Pikachu quickly followed it using his own attack.

The galloping thunder and lightning collided with the scorching pillar of fire, and the resulting explosive hot air wave and whirlwind blew the guy who had been watching the battle on the side!

This series of head-on collisions opened his eyes to stronger power!

Pikachu and Quilava were also whipped by the blast of air, but with a flash of blue light in Ash's eyes, he easily caught Pikachu and protected it from the explosion.

After all, it was a wild battle, so this was not considered cheating by Ash, in his own rule book.

"Now is the time!"

Before the blast of the explosion completely subsided, Ash's eyes lit up and he threw the Poké Ball he had been holding in his hand for quite some time!

With the increased power of Aura, this ordinary Poké Ball broke through the impact of the explosive hot air and accurately hit Quilava, who was still a little dizzy on the ground!

Poké Ball, it only flashed twice and then went out!

Ash just got a very strong Quilava!

From the previous contact, the Quilava actually stood aside and watched the battle between Pikachu and Golem, which shows that this little guy's character is brave, decisive, and a little prankster at heart.

His compatibility with Ash is obviously very high.

Sure enough, after system testing, Quilava's bonding value directly reached 120/195, which is only 5 points lower than Bayleef, which evolved for Ash's safety.

Of course, the bond value has just been conquered after all, so it is already good to have 120.

"I just got a Quilava!"

"Pikachu!"

"Damn it!" Seeing that Ash actually catching the Quilava that he has been hunting for such a long time, the brash guy cursed angrily. He just glanced at Ash and turned around to leave.

If after a week of hard work, it was all in vain, and no one would feel any nice if someone does this to them.

But in fact, even if it weren't for Ash, he wouldn't be able to catch this Quilava. After a week of trying, he should have recognized this fact but he didn't.

Only by calming down and improving the levels of yourself and your Pokémon will you be able to use them with ease in your future journeys.

Of course, Ash would not be so kind as to remind him.

"Congratulations, Ash, for adding another Pokémon!"

After the evolution of Bayleef, Ash got the fire-type starter from the Johto Region, and this was also evolved.

At this moment alone, Ash's level of Pokémon evolution has surpassed that of his trip during the Kanto Saga.

So next, we have to go to Azalea Town.

Pikachu: 215/255
