Chapter 30: Pikachu Special Training
(Second Update!! New book seeking collections, flowers!)
Satoshi didn't chase after them. It wouldn't have mattered if he did, catching them wouldn't have changed anything.
Musashi and Kojiro, even though they're part of Team Rocket and are villains, are like the lines they say when they appear, they're cute villains.
For villains, they're not that bad, and they have their own bottom line. More importantly, their camaraderie as villains is admirable.
Besides, even if he caught them, there would be no point. These two are lucky villains, no matter where they get caught, they always manage to escape, so it would be a waste of time to catch them.
"Satoshi, are you alright?"
Hearing the noise outside die down, Kasumi rushed out. Seeing Satoshi was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief, but still came over to ask.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
"What about those two?" She glanced around, seeing traces of a battle, but the two Team Rocket members were gone.
"They ran away!" Satoshi shrugged.
"I see. That's good. Let's tell Nurse Joy!" Hearing that the two had escaped, Kasumi didn't say anything, after all, one-on-two and winning was already pretty amazing.
Even though she's a new trainer, she was able to face the Pokemon theft group alone, now she believes Satoshi really did defeat the Fearow before.
“Good!” Satoshi didn't say much, he walked into the nurse's office and explained the situation to Nurse Joy. Hearing that Team Rocket had already escaped, Nurse Joy breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you so much." Although there were many trainers at the Pokemon Center, there were really not many who dared to handle this kind of thing.
If the Pokemon entrusted for treatment were stolen, it would be a big deal for them. She wouldn't know how to explain it to the trainers.
At the same time, the reputation of the center would be damaged, and in the future, trainers would not dare to easily leave their Pokemon at the Pokemon Center.
"No problem, Nurse Joy." Satoshi shook his head slightly.
The Pokemon Center's treatment and lodging for Pokemon were free, basically subsidized by the Pokemon League, so it was all provided for free.
Only catering and food would be charged, but it was still the most convenient price. After all, trainers were out on the road, and they might not have that much money.
The main source of funding was the Pokemon League. Food charges were to make up for part of the expenses. After all, if you encountered a trainer with a Pokemon like Snorlax...
If everything was free, it would really be a big loss. So, the Pokemon Center can be said to be the most important institution in this world, providing help for many trainers, so it's only natural to lend a hand.
Not long after, Officer Jenny arrived. It seems like it's the same everywhere. The police show up as soon as things are over.
Officer Jenny asked about the situation. After learning what had happened, she breathed a sigh of relief. If the Pokemon had been stolen, it would have been their responsibility as well.
She thanked Satoshi again, but it was a bit of a pity that she didn't encounter the two Team Rocket members when she came.
Now the two had escaped and needed to be caught. Officer Jenny hastily explained to Officer Jenny that she had already sent other officers to guard the Pokemon Center while she hurried off to see if she could catch Team Rocket.
Satoshi and Kasumi went to eat. Although the power was out, there was a generator, so the center could still function normally, and the power was being repaired.
They had been on the road all day, and by night, they hadn't had a bite to eat. They realized they were starving, so they went to the restaurant with Pikachu and had a good meal.
Afterwards, they went back to their rooms to rest. Thankfully, Pikachu didn't have a huge outburst like in the anime, blowing up the Pokemon Center.
There was still a place to stay. To be honest, Satoshi was a bit curious about where the trainers ended up staying after the Pokemon Center exploded in the anime?
But there were too many mysteries in this world, things he couldn't figure out, and he gradually got sleepy.
"Ah! Pikachu, good night."
"Pika~~"
Pikachu was also tired. Although his energy had recovered after being treated, the battle against Team Rocket had also been tiring. He lay down beside Satoshi, his ears twitching slightly as he closed his eyes and unknowingly fell asleep.
After a day of traveling, they slept soundly. The next morning, Satoshi got up as usual.
Pikachu also woke up early when Satoshi woke up. The time was similar to when they were in the forest. Most people hadn't woken up yet. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Satoshi said to Pikachu.
"Pikachu, let's continue training today!"
Although they were in the city, Satoshi didn't plan to stop training if they had the conditions. After all, they were getting closer to Nibi City.
"Pika!!" Pikachu had also recovered his spirits. Pikachu could clearly feel that his tail was more flexible, confirming that Satoshi's training methods were effective, and he instantly became energetic.
Satoshi changed into his running clothes and took Pikachu out. The sky hadn't completely brightened yet, and there were almost no people on the street. Satoshi took Pikachu towards the park near the center, jogging and training at the same time.
Pikachu was still using his tail to move forward. From the road outside the Pokemon Center to the park, it was about 10 kilometers. When they arrived at the park, Pikachu was already panting.
"Whew... Pikachu, how are you holding up?" Satoshi took a deep breath, looked at the time, it was still early, and asked Pikachu.
"Pika!"
Although he looked tired, he was much better than yesterday. It's a pity there's no river, otherwise he would have continued to train Kingler. Kingler's training would have to be put on hold for now.
"It's still early, let's practice Iron Tail!" Seeing that it was still early, Satoshi decided to try it out in this park.
"Pika pi!" Pikachu also instantly became energetic.
PS: Battles and training will be written in more detail. Also, the author doesn't encourage indiscriminate catching. Those who will be caught, besides those from the original plot, new Pokemon added will also have a story to tell, not the kind where you encounter them and catch them on the road.
