Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"Pikachu, don't give up, stand up and get out of the way!"

"Pika~" Xiaozhi's voice was like a new force injected into Pikachu's body, making it stand up tenaciously and pounce to the side, barely avoiding the destructive beam...

BOMM!!!

Although Pikachu barely avoided the destructive beam, he was still pushed several meters away by the shock wave caused by the explosion, and his body rolled on the ground several times like a rolling gourd.

"Pickup?!"

Pikachu just got up from the ground and suddenly found himself shrouded in shadow. He looked up with a little confusion...but found that a land jellyfish had come in front of him without him knowing.

"Land Jellyfish uses Power Whip!"

"Jell~" The land jellyfish used its tentacles covered in emerald green light to whip towards Pikachu who was close at hand.

"Pikachu, get out of the way quickly and use Save the Situation!"

"Pica~"

At the critical moment, Pikachu narrowly avoided the powerful whip, then rushed to the land jellyfish with both legs, swung his little fist and hit it hard on the head, knocking it away...

swoosh~

The figure of the land jellyfish was shot out like a cannonball, hitting the ground heavily, and its head tilted and it fainted...

"Land jellyfish can't fight, Pikachu wins, so the winner of this gym challenge is Ash from Pallet Town." The referee announced.

"Pika~Pika~" Pikachu, who was tired and out of breath, relaxed his tense body after hearing the referee's voice, and sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

This battle was not easy and he almost lost the game. Fortunately, he fought back and defeated the opponent, thus winning the victory for Xiaozhi.

"Pikachu, you're awesome!" Xiaozhi excitedly ran to the competition venue, picked up Pikachu and spun around.

"Pika~" Pikachu smiled at the excited Ash.

After Xia Bo put the fainted Land Jellyfish back into the Poké Ball, he came to Xiaozhi and handed him a flame-shaped badge: "Congratulations, Xiaozhi, this is the Flame Union Badge."

Xiaozhi looked at the flaming badge in front of him and smiled. The Union Badge was very similar to the Crimson Badge, but the only difference was that there was a small word "Union" in the middle.

Then Xiaozhi put Pikachu on his shoulder, and excitedly took the Union Badge from Xia Bo and shouted: "I got the Fire Union Badge!"

"Pikachu!!" Pikachu made a yeah gesture excitedly.

"Congratulations, Xiaozhi, you have won your first joint badge!"*2, at this time Xiaogang and Xiaoxia came forward to congratulate.

"It's okay~ I was able to get the Union Badge thanks to the help of Pikachu and the others." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

"Xiaozhi, which area's gym are you going to challenge next?" Xia Bo asked curiously.

"I'm heading to the Johto region to challenge the Kaji Gym," Xiaozhi replied.

"Is that Liu Bo from the Kaji Gym? That old man is good at Ice-attribute Pokémon. I suggest you challenge him only when you are absolutely sure. It's best to prepare a few more Fire-attribute Pokémon." Xia Bo reminded.

"Okay~" Xiaozhi replied with a smile.

After Xiaozhi and his party said goodbye to Xia Bo, they prepared to go to the next area, the Johto area...

It is worth mentioning that... before leaving Crimson Island, Ash sent the Pokémon to the Kame Center for treatment. After the Pokémon were treated, he teleported the five Pokémon to Professor Oak's Laboratory and asked Professor Oak to teleport the designated Pokémon over.

.......

Xiaozhi and his group, who were aiming for the Kaji Gym in the Johto region, came to a forest in the Johto region...

"Look, there seems to be a bulletin board in front..." Xiaogang said, pointing not far away.

"Let me see..." Xiaozhi ran to the bulletin board and read out the content: "Ghost Pokémon frequently appear in this forest. If you want to prevent them from harassing you, it's best to send out evil Pokémon to drive them away."

"In that case, there are a lot of ghost-type Pokémon in this forest," Misty murmured.

"Speaking of which, this forest is very eerie, so it's normal that there are ghost-type Pokémon living here." Xiaogang looked around and analyzed.

"Gang, Misty, do you two have any Dark-type Pokémon?" asked Ash.

"My Gyarados knows Dark-attribute moves," Misty replied.

"If there's a Pokémon that can use Dark-type moves, my Ninetales and Frog can also do it," Brock added.

"Since there are Pokémon in our team that can use Dark-attribute moves, we don't have to worry about being harassed by Ghost Pokémon," Xiaozhi said with a smile.

"Pica~"

"By the way, Xiaozhi, don't you have any Pokémon with evil attributes or evil-attribute moves?" Xiaogang asked curiously.

"There are Pokémon that can use Dark-attribute moves, but I don't carry any Dark-attribute Pokémon with me," Xiaozhi answered frankly.

"I see~ But speaking of ghost-type Pokémon, Xiaozhi, you haven't captured any ghost-type Pokémon in all these years?" Xiaogang asked curiously.

"I haven't captured one yet, but I already have a ghost-type Pokémon that I want to capture. It's just that the one I'm interested in lives in another area, so I plan to go there to capture it this time." Xiaozhi replied.

"Oh, I see. But Xiaozhi, you can go and capture some Psychic-type Pokémon. I remember that you don't have any Psychic-type Pokémon, right?" Xiaogang asked.

"Well~ I haven't captured any psychic-type Pokémon yet." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

"If you have the chance, Xiaozhi, you should capture a Psychic-type Pokémon. It would be best if you can capture a few of each of the 18 attributes. They will definitely be useful in the Gym Challenge and the Joint Conference." Xiaogang suggested.

"I will capture it if I have the chance." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

"As for the 18 attributes, I remember that Xiaozhi, except for Psychic, Ghost, and Steel, you have captured all other attribute Pokémon, right?" Xiaoxia interrupted.

"Well~ As for Steel-type Pokémon, I captured one in the Alola region, but I now keep it in the Alola region. As for the other 16 attributes, I have captured them all more or less." Xiaozhi replied.

"In this case, Xiaozhi, you only need to capture a ghost-type and a psychic-type Pokémon to complete the 18 attributes." Xiaoxia said.

"Yeah~" Xiaozhi nodded.

Suddenly, a rustling sound in the bush caught the attention of Xiaozhi and his companions...

Xiaozhi and the other two looked in the direction of the sound...they saw a figure shooting out from the bushes, and when they looked closely they saw that it was a big wolfhound.
