Chapter 43: Mingling with Ditto

After completing the transaction he immediately left the underground market and after coming out of underground World, Kaede also immediately took the Pokéball, which was trembling on his waist, in his hand. After thinking for a while, he released the Ditto inside, so that he could also feel the outside world. The sun and fresh air.

"Change~~" as Kaede had expected. For a while, Ditto was very excited to see the sun. He immediately Transformed into Aipom on Kaede's head, and then kept yelling. For a while, pedestrians nearby looked at it and Kaede strangely.

At this time, he noticed that Ditto, who saw all humans nearby, suddenly became serious and looked at the nearby pedestrians with a guard.

"Okay, Ditto, now we are back on Ground, don't worry, no one here will catch you. By the way, if you don't want to be noticed, you can become this hat, so you can stay outside without being noticed by anyone." Kaede saw this and quickly took Ditto back into the alley, and then said to it.

Ditto really didn't want to stay in Pokéball because it hadn't had the freedom to breathe the fresh air outside and the warmth of the sun for a long time. At the same time, it was quite wary of human beings except for Kaede.

Therefore, Ditto happily accepted Kaede's proposal. it glanced at the hat in Kaede's hand, and then changed from the appearance of Aipom to an hat.

"Very well, let's go, Ditto, let's take a look at the world outside, and let you get to know your companions later." Seeing Ditto obediently turning into an Alliance cap, Kaede laughed and said He picked up the hat Ditto had turned into and put it on his head.

Later, Kaede also walked out of the alley again, and then through the signs given on the road and asked some people for directions, he started to walk little by little to the nearest Pokémon Center. And after 20 minutes of walking Kaede finally reached the Pokemon Center, Ditto like a curious child kept on seeing and asking what various things were which Kaede patiently answered.

Entering the Pokémon Center, Kaede took Ditto back into the Pokéball and then asked Nurse Joy to perform a full range of treatment for it.

During the period of Ditto's treatment, Kaede also found a spare spot in the public hall, took out some snacks, and then took a rest here. This morning, he has not rested much until now, and is a little tired now.

When Kaede was resting, a lot of Trainers had already gathered in the public hall. They gathered in groups of three or four and were talking happily.

Among them, at a table near him, three trainers gathered around and discussed something that interests him very much.

"Have you heard that in a week, Kanto Elite Four's Fighting Type Elite Bruno and ice attribute Elite Lorelei will come to Saffron City for an exhibition Tournament."

"Well, of course, today's Alliance Daily headline is talking about this. Who doesn't know. Unfortunately, it is a proper tournament and only the final champion and runner-up will have the opportunity to battle against the two Elites."

"Yeah, although it will only be a exhibition match, the opportunity to play against the Elite Four is too rare. If you can defeat one of the two Elites on the scene, you will really become famous in one fell swoop. Maybe you can get 2 Elite Four's favor, The qualifiers will only start 2 days later. It's not too late to register."

"If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't be embarrassed by going there. I saw that many people signed up for the qualifiers. Many of them were powerhouses that collected Gym Badge, and I heard that even the Gym Leader Sabrina from Saffron City is also participating."

... ..

"Elite Four exhibition game, and there will be two of them. Although it's an exhibition game, and you can't fully see the true strength of Elite Four, but if i can collect Elite Four Pokémon data, it's also a very good thing." After patiently listening to the talk of a few big-mouthed Trainers on the side, Kaede's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course, even if there is no chance to play against them in a Pokémon battle, even as a bystander, it is a great opportunity to understand the gap between myself and Peak Trainer if i can watch the game from close range." Kaede thought.

"Very good. If i have a chance to understand the gap between myself and the Elite Four, then it will be really helpful for the future. I will also participate in the qualifiers at this time." he filtered his thoughts about the Elite Four champion. After understanding the information, Kaede's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he thought secretly in his heart.

Soon, Ditto's treatment was completed. Kaede came to the reception counter to take Ditto away, and then released it again. When Ditto came out, while the white light had not disappeared, he immediately Transformed to Aipom and climbed back onto Kaede's shoulders.

Later after feeding Ditto, Kaede came to the service counter again.

"Hello, what service do you need?" Seeing Kaede coming over, Nurse Joy in front of the service counter still kept a professional smile and asked him.

" I want to participate in the qualifiers for the Elite four Exhibition held in Saffron City this time. These are my ID card and the 2 Pokémon registered to participate." Kaede went straight in and took out his ID card then said to Nurse Joy.

After learning about his requirements, Nurse Joy quickly helped him register the information for the competition.

"The qualifier will be held in two days. The format is a one-on-one knock-out competition. Only two Pokémon can participate. Now please take out the Pokémon you need to register for the competition and register it." After filling in Kaede's personal information, Nurse Joy told him about the game date and rules.

Kaede didn't hesitate to choose the Pokémon to participate in the competition. He directly took out Zubat and Bellossom, the strongest in his hand, as the Pokémon participating in this time qualifier.

After completing the information registration of the two Pokémons, He also continued to ask Nurse Joy to open a single room, and then walked to his room with the room key.

The time has now come to 12 o'clock, it is time to prepare for lunch.

Entering his single room, He began to prepare the food for 4 Pokémon one after another. Ditto had eaten 2 roasted corn before, so he didn't prepare its lunch.

"Everyone, come out." After the lunch was ready, Kaede released the 4 Pokémons on him.

In the next second, after a burst of white light passed, Zubat, Nidoran♂, Bellossom, and Growlithe suddenly appeared in the room.

"Come on, let me introduce to you, this is our new companion Ditto, everyone should get along well in the future." Kaede said with a smile to the four Pokémon that just came out.

At this time, Ditto, which was now Aipom, was also curiously watching the 4 Pokémons who had just come out of Pokéball. After feeling the kindness from them, it immediately jumped off Kaede and then came to Growlithe first.

Immediately afterwards, under Growlithe's surprised gaze, Ditto used Growlithe as the Transform object, instantly changing from Aipom to Growlithe, and then greeted Growlithe in a friendly manner.

Growlithe was naturally very surprised to see Ditto suddenly become the same kind, but he was still very happy to see the same kind, and immediately started fighting with Ditto happily.

After successfully mingling with Growlithe, Ditto began to transform to the other Pikemons present. He changed from Growlithe to Nidoran♂, then Bellossom, and finally Zubat.

In addition, Ditto seemed to be very happy to meet his new companions, and began to show his powerful Transform ability in front of him and his 4 Pokémons, transforming into them in one breath.

In the end, Ditto still likes to keep the shape of Aipom to show others.
