![]() “I guess maybe he only included good Pokémon.” “ Ooh, good point!” Pikachu agreed, his ears perking up. You might be able to learn that electric one!” “I might need to ask Professor Oak about it when we get to Pewter… and it means I can’t check Caterpie’s moves either. “ I mean, really,” Pikachu said, a few minutes later, as he finished the snack Ash had fished out as a reward. The ‘ball twitched a couple of times, then clicked. The impact seemed to knock Caterpie for a loop, and their opponent flipped through the air twice before landing with a thump.Īsh promptly threw his Pokéball, and Caterpie vanished inside with a swirl of light. Pikachu landed on the opposite side of Caterpie from Ash, and swung his tail hard to knock the Bug-type into the air. It was kind of tiring to throw that many attacks at once, but it meant that Caterpie had to keep the electroweb attack thing up and that blocked their view of Pikachu. “ Right!” Pikachu agreed, realizing the plan, and sustained a tricky barrage of attacks. “Now, keep up the Thundershocks and jump down on a random side!” Ash instructed. “Pikachu, onto the tree!” Ash called, and Pikachu promptly did so – running over to a tree trunk, scampering up it, then throwing an attack down from above.Ĭaterpie still stopped it, but it sounded like Ash had a plan… Then Caterpie rolled into a wheel shape and charged him, hitting him hard enough to send him flipping backwards, and Pikachu skidded to a halt on the forest floor… then dodged just before a stream of String Shot hit him. The electrical silk webs were kind of hard to get past, but Pikachu didn’t think they were impossible… it was just hard to actually prove his guess. While they’d been talking, Pikachu had been moving back and forth trying to figure out his opponent. “That’s really more of a you thing by the sound of it,” Misty said. “Why do you always end up in these weird situations?” “That move was pretty impressive… watch out in case it’s got any other tricks!” “Okay, this isn’t just an ordinary Caterpie!” “ Whoops!” Pikachu said, jumping to the side. Caterpie immediately used String Shot, grounding out most of the attack into the web of silk, then flicked its head around and sent the electrical web flying right back at Pikachu. He flicked his tail, and a Thundershock flashed out. “ You got it!” Pikachu agreed, cheeks sparking, and lowered his stance a little as he faced off against his opponent. “Well, I’m going to see how well Caterpie does!” Ash answered. “Do you have to catch a Bug?” Misty griped. The Caterpie in question had just lowered itself on a String Shot, dropping to the ground in front of them, and twitched its tail as it regarded the group. Misty frowned, thinking about that, and Ash pointed. And they all understand us without needing to be told.” “It’s like when Pokémon are battling, I think? They know the obvious bits, but you can help with the hard bits. He looked around, scanning for any sign of a wild Pokémon. “I dunno… I guess you just have to listen right? Then it’s a bit like understanding someone when they talk in complicated words, you get the easy ones and work out the hard ones from context?” “You’ve known him for, what, four days?”Īsh shrugged. “How the heck are you able to understand that Pikachu so well, anyway?” Misty asked. “But what really matters is finding a Pokémon who’s up for it, right?” But I guess there aren’t many Water or Ice types around here, so it’d be good to get a Bug or Flying type…” “So you have trouble with, um… Grass types and especially Ground types. “Well, you’re an Electric-type,” Ash said, thinking. “Okay, Pikachu, ready for this?” he asked. “Well, my boy, let me know if you run into any trouble.”Ī few days later, in Viridian Forest – with a smoking Pokémon Centre behind them – Ash was getting ready to catch his first Pokémon. “We haven’t had a proper trainer battle yet, but he seems pretty strong.” “We’re kind of getting to know one another,” Ash answered. And how are you getting on with your Pikachu?” “ It’s a little concerning,” Professor Oak admitted. “Oh, I saw some really aggressive Spearow!” he said. There’d been a storm, and there’d been the Spearow, and then Ho-Oh had flown overhead… “Well, I got a bit held up on Route One,” Ash replied, thinking back over his day. How’s your first day gone so far? Seen any interesting Pokémon?” “ I heard you’d made it to Viridian City. “ Ash, there you are,” Professor Oak said. Ash answered the phone just after it had started ringing. ![]()
