Evening.
As night approached, Ash found a spot. Not only was it getting dark, but the weather wasn't looking good either.
"It's going to rain after all!" Ash temporarily set up camp near a river. According to the original story, he seemed to encounter heavy rain on the first day of his journey.
"Let's camp here for tonight!" With this kind of weather and night falling soon, it wasn't suitable to continue traveling. Ash said to Pikachu as he set up his tent.
"Pika!" Pikachu also responded.
Soon, the tent was set up. The sky became even gloomier, and a light rain had already begun to fall.
"Help!!!"
Just then, a sound suddenly came from the direction of the forest. Ash paused slightly at the sound. Listening to the voice, he could clearly tell it was a girl's voice.
He looked towards the forest and saw a figure riding a bicycle, swiftly moving through the trees.
The person on the bicycle was a stylishly dressed girl, wearing a yellow crop top and hot denim shorts with suspenders. She had refreshing orange short hair, and her face was currently filled with panic.
"Hmm? It couldn't be her, could it??"
When he saw this girl, a figure subconsciously appeared in his mind. However, at this moment, something suddenly came to mind, and he looked behind the girl. He saw over a dozen black figures darting through the forest.
Squawk!!
"Hmm? Is that...?" At the same time, Ash also heard a familiar cry.
"Spearow?" Upon closer inspection, he realized that behind the girl was a large flock of Spearow. This was not surprising; Spearow were indeed numerous in this forest.
"Ah!!!"
Just as he was thinking, the girl, riding her bicycle, was approaching a downhill slope. As she went down, she didn't notice a protruding rock on the path because she was panicking.
CRACK!!!
The front wheel of the bicycle hit the rock, and the entire bicycle instantly lost its balance. On the slope, the girl's body was directly thrown off the front of the bike, flying straight forward.
"Pikachu!!" Ash quickly shouted upon seeing this.
He dashed forward with Pikachu. Looking at the flying girl, Ash leaped slightly. The girl was already scared out of her wits and didn't dare to look when she fell.
Thinking to herself, "It's definitely going to hurt to fall on the ground this time," she soon collided. The girl had prepared herself, but she felt something was wrong...
Huh? Why doesn't it hurt?
THUD!!!
If Ash knew what the girl was thinking, he would be speechless. Of course it doesn't hurt!
Two figures collided. Ash caught the girl. The force of her fall was not small. It was also thanks to Ash's three years of physical training; otherwise, even though the girl wasn't fat, falling like that could have killed someone in his previous life.
But even so, when he caught the girl, the force of inertia still pushed Ash backward. He instinctively fell backward, but thankfully there was grass to cushion his fall.
The girl, held in Ash's arms, was safe and sound. Ash felt a little pain in his back, but it was nothing serious.
"Hmm??" The girl also realized something was wrong and quickly opened her eyes, finding herself leaning against a warm chest.
"You..." The girl looked up in surprise. Ash looked down. Just as he was about to speak...
Squawk!!!
"Get up first! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!!!" Looking at the large flock of Spearow in front, Ash quickly got up and went to Pikachu's side to command the battle.
"Pika~~~chu!!!!"
BOOM!!!
Pikachu leaped up from the ground. The electric sacs on its cheeks instantly emitted golden electric arcs. A roaring sound echoed, and golden electricity was released, landing on the ground and then sweeping up into the sky.
Squawk squawk squawk~~~~
The Spearow flying forward were hit by the electricity. It was raining heavily, and the electricity hit several Spearow. Flying-types are already weak to Electric-types, and with the rain making them wet, the effect was even more devastating.
The surrounding Spearow were clearly afraid of the power of lightning and quickly scattered to the sides. Ash looked at the flock of Spearow in the air. There were quite a few of them, so it looked like it would be a tough battle.
"Pikachu, this battle might be dangerous. Are you scared?"
Although they were outnumbered, Ash didn't intend to run. To become stronger, he couldn't run, no matter how strong the opponent was.
As the battle began, Pikachu seemed to sense Ash's thoughts at this moment. Its eyes also became determined. "Pika!!!"
The girl behind him looked at the back in front of her, unconsciously lost in thought, but a cry startled her out of her reverie.
Squawk!!!
From within the woods, a massive black shadow with spread wings soared into the sky, instantly attracting Ash's and the girl's attention. The girl's eyes filled with fear upon seeing it.
"It's... it's a Fearow!! Hey, that... Fearow is very strong, maybe we should run first!" The girl looked somewhat afraid at the figure that appeared in the sky and said to Ash in front of her.
"I'm a trainer. I only battle; I don't run!" Ash replied, looking up at the sky without turning around.
"What the heck! I'm just worried about you, okay? You really don't recognize good intentions." Seeing this, the girl thought Ash didn't appreciate her. Although she was a little touched by him saving her just now, she immediately threw a tantrum.
I have to say, girls are really strange creatures. Even in such a dangerous situation, they still throw tantrums.
"Hmm?? That guy... it couldn't be..."
Looking up at the Fearow in the sky, Ash's expression changed slightly. Although Pokémon of the same type looked similar, for some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity.
The Fearow in the sky, who had originally come to stand up for its subordinates, looked at the humans below and was about to attack, when it looked at Ash and its expression suddenly changed.
A Pokémon's senses are much sharper than a human's. Although Ash had changed a lot in the past three years and his appearance was also different, when their eyes met, the Fearow's red crest immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Its pupils widened, and a scene of itself being defeated by a young boy three years ago suddenly flashed in its mind. It instantly let out a cry of panic.
Squawk! Squawk squawk squawk!!!!
