Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"If you want to obtain the certificate of the king, you must overcome many difficulties, and this difficulty is Shellder. Only Slowpoke who overcomes the difficulties can evolve into Hippopotamus. If Slowpoke fails the challenge, the Shellder will bite its tail and evolve into Hippopotamus." Professor Airey explained.

"No wonder there are so many Slowpokes here, it turns out they are all evolved from Slowpokes that failed in the challenge." Xiaogang said with sudden enlightenment.

"Look, another Slowpoke wants to get the certificate of king." Xiaoxia suddenly said.

Everyone looked towards the center of the lake... only to see a smaller Slowpoke crawling towards the center of the lake, but Shellder wasn't going to let Slowpoke get the King's Certificate so easily. Shellder broke out of the water one after another and attacked Slowpoke's tail...

"Ah~" Slowpoke nimbly avoided the attacking Shellder, and when it couldn't avoid it, it used its tail to smash the Shellder into the water.

"This Slowpoke is very agile. It seems that it has a very high chance of getting the Certificate of King." Xiaogang said in surprise.

"Come on, Slowpoke! You must successfully obtain the King's Certificate." Misty cheered.

Slowpoke lived up to everyone's expectations. It avoided the mischievous Shellders and successfully came to the rock in the center of the lake. At the moment when Slowpoke put the King's Certificate on its head, a Shellder broke through the water and bit the King's Certificate...

stab~

"Ah~" The moment Shellder bit the Certificate of King, Slowpoke and Shellder's bodies changed at the same time.

"It looks like this Slowpoke is living up to expectations and is about to evolve into a Slowpoke." Professor Airy said with a smile.

"Gado~" After the light faded, a bipedal Pokémon appeared in front of everyone. It had an orange and white umbrella-like structure around its neck, the Shellder's eyes were on its back, and there was a red gem-like structure on the back of the Shellder.

"King Hippo, do you have a way to lead the Slowpokes to find a new paradise?" Alice asked.

"Yaduo~" The Hippo King nodded, then turned and sent out a powerful telekinesis towards the waterfall, splitting the waterfall in the middle, creating an opening just wide enough for one person to enter...

“I didn’t expect there was a cave hidden behind the waterfall.” Alice said in surprise.

"It looks like the new paradise of the Slowpoke clan is inside this cave," Professor Airey guessed.

"Yaduo~" The Hippo King led Slowpoke and Slow Hippo into the cave behind the waterfall. Seeing this, Xiaozhi and his friends hurriedly followed.

..........

20 minutes later...

"How long is this cave? We've been walking for about twenty minutes." Xiaozhi muttered.

"Pica~"

"Is there really a paradise for Slowpokes in this dark cave?" Xiaoxia asked with some doubt.

"Since the Hippo King led his tribe into the cave, the new paradise must be in this cave. Let's walk patiently for a while." Xiaogang interrupted.

"This is the only way." Xiaozhi nodded.

After walking for about ten minutes, Xiaozhi and his group finally walked out of the cave. At the end of the cave was a beautiful lake.

“I didn’t expect there would be such a beautiful lake in the cave behind the waterfall.”

"It's just amazing."

"This is definitely a paradise for Slowpoke."

"This way, the Slowpokes can live peacefully in this lake, and no one will disturb them in such a secluded place."

Xiaozhi and his group couldn't help but exclaimed at the environment in front of them.

When Slowpoke and Slow Hippo saw such a beautiful environment, they couldn't wait to climb into the water to enjoy life.

After the Hippo King arranged his people, he sent Xiaozhi and his companions out of the cave and restored the waterfall to its original state.

After the Hippo King left, Professor Airey turned to Xiaozhi and his group and said, "Xiaozhi hopes that you can keep this a secret and don't tell anyone. I don't want anyone to disturb the lives of the Slowpoke tribe."

"Don't worry~ We don't want the lives of Slowpokes to be disturbed by the outside world." Xiaozhi agreed readily.

At the same time, a meow hot air balloon was floating in the air not far away.

"What's going on? Those little brats are just staring at the waterfall and not cooking." Musashi said unhappily.

"Don't worry about lunch for now. The most important thing is to catch Pikachu first." After saying that, Kojiro raised the cannon and fired at the Pikachu on the ground.

"Pika~" Pikachu, who was standing next to Xiaozhi, was suddenly covered by a big net. Pikachu came to the hot air balloon in a daze and was thrown into the glass cover by Kojiro.

"Team Rocket, why are you here again? Return Pikachu to us!" Xiaozhi said unhappily.

"No way." Musashi made a face at Xiaozhi.

"Who are you? Why do you want to steal Satoshi's Pikachu?" Alice asked.

"Who are you? Since you are asking sincerely..."

"We are merciful and tell you that we have captured Pikachu..."

"To prevent the world from being destroyed..."

"To protect world peace..."

"The evil that is love and truth..."

'A cute and charming villain...'

"Musashi!"

"Kojiro!"

"We are Team Rocket, traveling across the galaxy to protect world peace!"

"White hole, white tomorrow is waiting for us!"

"That's it, meow~"

"Tonaza~"

"Pikachu?!" Pikachu took the opportunity to release 10 volts while Kojiro and the others were reciting their lines, and tried to use it to break through the glass cover, but unfortunately all the current was absorbed.

"Don't struggle in vain. This glass cover is a product modified by me. It can not only absorb the electric current you release for its own use, but also forcibly absorb all the electric current in your body, meow." After Meow Meow finished speaking, he pressed the switch. As the switch was pressed, the electric current in Pikachu's body was forcibly absorbed.

"Pika~Pika~" Pikachu cried out in pain, and at the same time found that the current in his body was constantly dissipating.

"Pikachu!" Xiaozhi was very anxious when he saw Pikachu in pain, and immediately threw a Poké Ball: "Spearow, please, get Pikachu back."

"Fierce!!" As soon as Spearow appeared, he flapped his wings fiercely and rushed towards the hot air balloon like an arrow, trying to snatch Pikachu back.

"Desert Naia uses Missile Needle!" Seeing this, Kojiro immediately released Desert Naia.

"Desert Naya~" Desert Naya raised his arms, aimed at the oncoming Spearow and released countless energy needles...

"Ah~" Seeing this, Spearow quickly dodged the oncoming missile needle...
