Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

Although he thought so, Xiaozhi still took out the Poké Ball and threw it at the fainted Ditto. The Poké Ball hit Ditto's head accurately, and then turned it into a red light and absorbed it. Then the Poké Ball fell to the ground and kept shaking, looking like it was about to explode at any time...

Xiaozhi and Pikachu looked at the Poké Ball nervously and swallowed their saliva, fearing that Ditto would break free from the Poké Ball...

ding dong~

After two and a half seconds of struggling, the Pokémon Ball stopped shaking, which also meant that it was captured successfully...

Xiaozhi excitedly went forward to pick up the Poké Ball, and holding it up, he smiled and said, "I captured Ditto!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu excitedly made a scissors hand gesture with his hands.

Xiaogang and his group arrived late. As soon as they arrived here, they saw Xiaozhi picking up the Poké Ball, so Xiaoxia asked curiously: "Xiaozhi, have you captured Rayquaza?"

"How should I put it? Although I captured it, it's a little different from what you imagined." Xiaozhi said awkwardly.

"Is it different from what I imagined?" Xiaogang asked puzzledly.

"To put it simply, although I encountered Rayquaza and defeated it, after defeating it I found out that it was not Rayquaza but Ditto." Xiaozhi explained.

"So the Rayquaza that the boy met before was not the real Rayquaza, but the one transformed by Ditto?" Xiaogang confirmed.

"That's right~" Xiaozhi then released Ditto.

"Hmm~" A light blue Ditto with big eyes appeared in front of everyone.

"It's actually Shiny Ditto. I remember that Ditto is a Pokémon that can't do anything except transform." Xiaoxia complained.

"Ah~ You only know one move? Wouldn't that make you useless?" Lei'er said bluntly.

"Hmm (??へ?? ╬)" Ditto was very angry when he saw Lei'er looked down on him, and then he started a variety show in front of everyone, transforming into more than ten kinds of legendary Pokémon in just three minutes, and each time he transformed into a legendary Pokémon, he released a skill to prove that he was not a waste...

"Ditto is so powerful. It can transform into so many Pokémon. If I capture a Ditto, wouldn't it be equivalent to capturing many types of Pokémon?" Lei'er said excitedly.

"Hmm~" Ditto showed a satisfied look when he heard that, as if saying, silly girl, now you know how powerful I am.

"It's not as easy as you think. Ordinary Ditto needs a reference object to transform, but Ash's Ditto is quite special. After all, it doesn't need any reference object. It can transform Pokémon just by relying on the memory of the sea. This is something that ordinary Ditto can't do." Xiaogang explained.

"Ah? Is that so?" Lei'er asked in surprise.

"Of course! If every Ditto was as powerful as Xiaozhi's Ditto, then Ditto would have been captured and exterminated long ago."

"After all, owning a Ditto is equivalent to owning all types of Pokémon. No matter what attributes of Pokémon the opponent sends out, we can let Ditto transform into a Pokémon that restrains the opponent's attributes. Who doesn't want to own such a Pokémon?" Xiaogang explained.

"I didn't expect this Ditto to be so powerful." Lei'er looked at Ditto with admiration.

"Hmph~ Now you know how powerful I am, let's see if you dare to look down on me in the future." Ditto said with a smug smile, but Lei'er didn't understand the Pokémon language at all, and had no idea what Ditto was saying.

"Of course, in addition to Xiaozhi's Ditto, we once encountered a trainer whose Ditto could do this, but his Ditto had to undergo years of training to be able to do this."

"Although it can be done with training, it is not necessary. After all, if you have time to do this, you might as well catch more Pokémon and become stronger with them. It is really irrational to spend several years doing this." Xiaoxia added.

"That's true~ I should just focus on developing my relationship with Gengar." Lei'er nodded.

"Okay~ It's getting late, we should go to the Pokémon Center and rest." Xiaozhi interrupted.

"Yeah, it's already midnight." Xiaoxia nodded.

Afterwards, Xiaozhi and his friends returned to the Pokémon Center to rest.

.......

Xiaozhi and his group, who set their sights on the Kaji Gym, finally arrived at Kaji Town, where the Kaji Gym is located, after a long journey...

"We've finally arrived at Kaji Town. We've been sleeping in the open air these past few days and have been wanting to find a place to take a shower." Xiaoxia said excitedly.

"Instead of taking a shower, why not go to Kaji Gym first? After the gym battle, go to the Pokémon Center and rest for a day," Xiaozhi suggested.

"Well, that's all we can do." Although Misty wanted to object, she didn't want to spoil Satoshi's fun seeing how excited he was.

"But before Ash goes to the Kaji Gym, do you want to go to the Pokémon Center to change your Pokémon?" Brock interrupted.

"That's true~ Then let's go to the Pokémon Center before going to the Kaji Gym." Xiaozhi agreed.

Although Xiaozhi did not plan to change Pokémon this time, he only had five Pokémon on him, so he had to ask Professor Oak to teleport a Pokémon. As for which Pokémon to teleport, Xiaozhi had already made a decision in his mind.

Then Xiaozhi and his group went to the Pokémon Center and asked Professor Oak to send Pokémon through the Pokémon Transporter. Then they went to the Kaji Gym without stopping...

"Isn't this Xiaozhi? How come you have time to come to me?" Xiaozhi and his group had just arrived at the Kaji Gym when they met Liu Bo who had returned from training outside.

"Uncle Liu, long time no see~ I'm here to challenge the gym." Xiaozhi replied.

"Ah? Challenge the gym? Do you want to re-participate in the Silver Tournament?" Liu Bo obviously didn't react.

"Of course not~ I'm going to participate in the joint conference. I'm here to challenge the joint gym competition." Xiaozhi explained.

"Joint Gym Tournament, I see~ There are a lot of people challenging gyms recently, I forgot about the Joint Gym Tournament." Liu Bo smiled awkwardly, then said to Xiaozhi and his group, "Then follow me."

Xiaozhi and his group nodded and followed Liu Bo to the competition venue.

The competition venue of Kaji Gym is an ice venue with a swimming pool in the middle...

"Xiaozhi, then let's start the joint gym challenge." Liu Bo said.

"No problem~" Xiaozhi nodded.
