75. Jigglypuff

"Todd? Isn't that Todd?"

The young man holding the camera in front of the group is an old friend of Ash, Misty, and Brock.

They had battled together and formed a good friendship.

"Ash, long time no see, you seem to have grown a lot!" Of course Todd still remembered a person like Ash, but he didn't expect that the Ash he remembered had changed so much during this time.

"Yeah, how about you, how are you doing?"

"In fact, I'm doing very well and working hard towards my goal! I took a lots of photos of Pokémon, look!" Todd brought his Photo Album to share with the group, these ones were photos of Grass-type Pokémon that were taking a rest while others were battling.

"I want to see it, I want to see it!" Molly slipped off Meganium's body and ran into Ash's arms, grabbing the Photo Album!

Todd noticed Meganium immediately and quickly picked up the camera and took pictures, "Ash, is this Meganium yours?"

"Of course, she's beautiful, isn't she?" Ash was very proud of his Meganium, just like an father who had finally managed to raise his daughter to be beautiful and smart, he really couldn't help but praise her.

"It's really beautiful!" Todd praised sincerely. As a photographer, he has seen many Pokémon, but Ash's Meganium is simply shockingly beautiful, one of the more beautiful Pokémon's he has seen so far!

"Recently, I've been fascinated by the unique charm of Grass-type Pokémon, but what I want to shoot most right now is Articuno!" Todd said in a surprising way!

Articuno!

This is one of the Three Legendary Birds, who are as famous as Suicune, Raikou, and Entei!

A legendary Pokémon related to Lugia!

"I heard someone say that someone saw an Articuno near here recently!" Todd explained that he had received reports of sightings and came here to look for it.

"Brother Ash, I wants to see Articuno!" Molly seems to be particularly enthusiastic about this Legendary Bird!

"I want to see it too!" Misty said the same.

"In this case, let's go find Articuno together!" Brock and Ash agreed with the others.

The group of people had just made a decision when suddenly several pieces of ice chunks fell down.

"Pika?" Another block of ice landed directly on Pikachu's nose.

When everyone looked up, they saw a shining star suddenly appeared in the clouds, falling downwards, and it happened to be in the direction where they were!

"What is that? Meteorite?"

"No matter what it is, run away!" Ash hurriedly pulled Molly to run away, and pushed Todd, who was risking his life for taking pictures, again.

He really needs a new life.

As soon the group dispersed, the thing fell down. It was unknown how high it fell from. It was so powerful that it directly made a big hole in the ground.

If Ash hadn't pushed Todd, he would have been hit right now and most likely dead because he wasn't somebody like Ash.

"Ash, thank you! I owe you my life."

This thing is obviously not a Meteorite, but a large piece of ice! There is also a Sunkern frozen in the middle of the ice.

It was so frozen that it was solid and hard. When it was dropped from such a high place, it made such a big hole, but still the ice block didn't break. Only some small pieces shattered from it.

Brock, a Pokémon Breeder, worried, "Shot, we need first aid immediately!"

Ice-type attacks are extremely effective against Grass-type! And Sunkern here is known for being very weak.

As he said this, he picked up the ice cube and was about to run, but was stopped by Ash, "Brock, where are you going? You go boil some water on the pot!"

Brock nodded repeatedly and quickly brought a pot of ready to boil something.

If another Pokémon is frozen, you can use a Fire type move to unfreeze it and then go along with the treatment.

It's just that Sunkern is a very weak Grass type, and it can be easily damaged by even using a small Fire type move, so it's best to use boiling water to melt the ice.

Brock also figured this out.

He light the gas stove, put ice cubes in it, and poured the boiling water over the ice block.

When the ice cube melted, Sunkern came back to the living world.

When the boiling water touched the ice, it turned into warm water.

Soaking in it was like soaking in a hot spring.

Sunkern looked like they really enjoyed it.

It looks like there should be no problem anymore.

Ash and his team released it, and there should be many of its companions living nearby.

"Ash, why do you think this Sunkern was frozen?" Todd obviously had the answer himself, but just wanted to ask Ash for his confirmation.

"It's Articuno. Todd, let's go find Articuno quickly!" Ash not only wants to meet this Articuno, but also wants to catch it if possible, as long as the compatibility is good enough.

We hit it off immediately and Todd temporarily joined the team!

The group of people searched for two whole days in the direction where Sunflora fell just now, and then walked out of the forest and came to the foot of huge towering snow-capped mountains. This is the tallest mountain in the area.

They did see a figure with shining ice crystals flying to the snow mountain before.

Here, heavy snow covers all the vegetation, creating a magnificent snow scene.

Ash had already put on warm clothes for Molly, and even they had to put on cold-proof clothes.

The climate in the Pokémon world is so strange!

The blue light of the Aura power flashed, and Ash discovered something interesting.

Jigglypuff, who had often appeared around them since the Kanto Region, was actually frozen inside there.

"I just thought I hadn't seen it for a long time, and it turns out it's stuck here!" Brock also said the same.

Of course, Todd is most concerned about what is going on, "Isn't this Jigglypuff also frozen here by Articuno?"

Regardless of whether it is or not, we must rescue it!

There is no need to be as careful with Jigglypuff as with Sunkern. Ash directly asked his Quilava to help and rescued it with fire.

Todd has been searching for a long time and finally found traces of Articuno. He was inevitably anxious. As soon as Jigglypuff was rescued, he couldn't wait to rush up and asked, "Jigglypuff, have you met Articuno? Tell me, Jigglypuff, where did Articuno go?"

Jigglypuff who was being harassed was very happy to be rude to back to Todd, and she hit him with a Double Slap, which hit him 5 times, which made his face swollen.

"Haha, Jigglypuff is so awesome!" Molly rushed over and hugged Jigglypuff, "Big Brother, can I get this Jigglypuff, is that okay?"

Molly wants to catch this Jigglypuff?

Misty's face suddenly changed. Although this Jigglypuff is cute, it is their nightmare for some time now. This Jigglypuff likes singing, and makes everyone fall asleep every time it sings.

When Jigglypuff is angry when everyone is asleep, she will use a dark marker that she carries with her to draw everyone's faces like tabby cats.

However, Ash is no longer the Ash he used to be!

"Meganium, use Safeguard!"

A shadow extends on the pink petals, and two huge 2.2-inch petals envelope everyone!

Safeguard is a magical guardian skill, a mysterious power that protects people from falling into anStatus Condition. And in the real world Safeguard's effect is even more powerful!

Jigglypuff starts singing!

However, this time, everyone heard its singing quietly and completely, and no one fell asleep.

It was so happy that it readily agreed to Molly's subjugation.

Ash smiled and gave her a Poké Ball. As for how they would get along in the future, Ash couldn't control that part. But he believes that Molly can definitely handle this Jigglypuff!

"I just got a Jigglypuff!" Molly imitated Ash and made a victory declaration!
