Chapter 6: I'm Satoshi from Pallet Town, the future world's greatest Pokémon Master!
Pikachu was even stubborn to the point where Satoshi had to forcibly drag him with a rope.
Finally, they set off.
Satoshi untied the rope and tried to reconcile with Pikachu.
But how could the arrogant Pikachu easily cooperate with Satoshi?
Pikachu, ignoring Satoshi, jumped onto a tree, showing his true nature.
The helpless Satoshi could only rely on himself to catch Pokémon.
Satoshi, who didn't understand battles at all, threw out a Poké Ball to try and catch Pokémon.
How could this possibly work?
Satoshi failed to catch either Caterpie or Pidgey.
Pikachu laughed hysterically from the tree.
...
【Adek: Wow, this kind of trainer-Pokémon relationship is the first time I've seen it, even for me. 】
【Cynthia: ...Indeed, it's a bit ridiculous. Do all new trainers start off like this? Seems I've been living under a rock. 】
【Korrina: Hmm...it seems a little strange? But it's also kind of intriguing. I'll keep watching. 】
【Gary: No...don't be misled by Satoshi! This is not how new trainers are! Satoshi, don't ruin the reputation of new trainers! 】
Gary silently roared.
What is this?!
Why is Satoshi's journey as a new trainer so different?!
Gary recalled his brief journey as a new trainer.
Grinding period?
Non-existent!
As the grandson of Professor Oak, Gary had a deep understanding of Squirtle's habits and abilities.
He easily earned badge after badge alongside Squirtle.
Satoshi's clueless state?
Even wanting to capture Pokémon with one Poké Ball?
Never done it!
Normal new trainers don't do things like that, okay!
Gary was speechless.
He could only watch with a solemn face.
The image of these new trainers in the minds of the many Champions, Elite Four, and Gym Leaders became increasingly strange.
...
On the screen.
Satoshi, in anger, accidentally hit a Pidgeotto with a rock.
Before the furious Pidgeotto could target Satoshi, Pikachu, laughing wildly from the tree branch, caught its attention.
A tiny Pidgeotto was no match for Pikachu, with its type advantage.
The Pidgeotto ran away dejectedly.
The Pidgeotto returned with hundreds and thousands of its companions to seek revenge!
Pidgeotto itself is a Pokémon known for its violent nature and lack of reason.
Having been hit, the Pidgeotto would never let go of Satoshi and Pikachu.
Maybe Pikachu could handle one, two...ten Pidgeotto.
But facing hundreds, thousands... even a massive army of Pidgeotto.
One Pikachu was simply no match.
Satoshi tried to run away with Pikachu.
Compared to Satoshi, the Pidgeotto's hatred was more focused on Pikachu.
But they couldn't possibly break through the Pidgeotto's encirclement.
Pikachu was soon heavily injured under the Pidgeotto's onslaught.
Satoshi was extremely anxious.
"Pikachu, I will definitely save you!"
Satoshi charged into the Pidgeotto's encirclement of Pikachu.
Ignoring the overwhelming attacks of the Pidgeotto, he used his small arms to firmly protect Pikachu!
Facing the cliff, he jumped down!
Creating a huge splash of water!
、
Under the impact of the strong current, Satoshi didn't lose consciousness.
Instead, he held Pikachu tightly, avoiding attacks from the underwater Pokémon!
Satoshi kicked frantically, dodging the attack of the Gyarados with its gaping maw and ferocious aura!
His eyes were filled with unwavering determination!
To escape with Pikachu!
This determination also deeply affected others watching the screen.
Just this skill and determination alone.
Was already beyond what ordinary new trainers could possess!
The trainers in the Pokémon League, with their hearts filled with justice, were deeply worried for Satoshi.
Escape!
You must escape successfully!
Viridian Gym.
Giovanni snorted in disdain upon seeing this.
"He can't even protect his own Pokémon...hmph, just a little kid."
"I don't know what's so interesting about this."
He said coldly.
His hand continued to stroke Persian's fur.
He said that.
But Giovanni didn't move his gaze.
There was still a hint of curiosity in his heart, wondering what would happen if he were saved.
To everyone's relief.
Satoshi was fished out of the water by a young girl using a fishing rod.
At the girl's instructions, Satoshi immediately prepared to take Pikachu to the Pokémon Center for treatment.
But in the sky, the silhouette of the Pidgeotto flock could be seen approaching!
Satoshi couldn't care less!
He borrowed the girl's bicycle and raced off!
Every second counted!
He had to reach the Pokémon Center as fast as possible!
...
Misty saw this scene, her expression complex.
She recognized this as her first encounter with Satoshi.
Thinking of that slap she gave Satoshi, Misty awkwardly said to him.
"...I didn't know the situation at the time, seeing the serious wounds on Pikachu, I thought you were bullying Pikachu."
"That...sorry!"
Misty spoke with an unusual stutter.
