Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"What!?" Shui Bo was surprised when he heard that, then he turned to Team Rocket and said, "You guys, hurry up and return Baby Pogaman to us, or I will report this to the Sinnoh League and wipe out Team Rocket!"

"Tsk! We, Team Rocket, are not afraid of your Sinnoh Alliance." Musashi said disdainfully.

"Metalloquin uses Psycho!" Ash didn't want to waste any more time talking to Team Rocket, so he just threw the Poké Ball.

"MeiTou~" As soon as the Shiny Metagross appeared, the X-shaped metal on its face emitted a blue light. At the same time, the cat-shaped robot was controlled by mental power and floated in the air.

"Oh no, meow, I can't control the robot, meow." Meow Meow said anxiously.

"Charizard is using Dragon Claw now!"

"Roar!" The Charizard flapped its wings and flew towards the cat-shaped robot. Then it used its claws covered in green light to cut the rope that tied the fish basket. Then the huge fish basket fell to the ground, and the baby Pogo sticks that were put into the fish basket took the opportunity to escape.

"Metallica uses Destruction Beam! Charizard uses Jet Flame! Pikachu uses 10 Volts!"

"MeiTou~" Energy particles condensed in the mouth of the Shining Metagross and then released them in the direction of the cat-shaped robot.

"Roar!" Charizard sprayed hot flames towards the cat-shaped robot, and then the flames wrapped around the destructive beams.

"Pika~chu!" The high-voltage current released by Pikachu also wrapped around the destructive ray.

BOMM!!!

"Damn little brat! I won't let you go next time!" Musashi, who was blown away, cursed.

"Instead of settling the score with that brat, Musashi, you should catch some powerful Pokémon, otherwise you won't be able to beat him, meow." Meowth suggested.

"I think the prerequisite for capturing powerful Pokémon is to stay away from Imps and the others, otherwise no matter what Pokémon we make, it will be destroyed by them." Kojiro interrupted.

"Got it. I'll stay away from the brats and capture powerful Pokémon in a while." Musashi replied.

The three members of Team Rocket left a sentence: "What a disgusting feeling!", and then turned into a shining star in the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Thank you, Xiaozhi, for helping me drive away Team Rocket. If the Pogo sticks were taken away by Team Rocket, the consequences would be serious." Shui Bo said gratefully.

"You're welcome~ It's just a small favor." Xiaozhi said modestly, and then changed the subject: "It's getting late, we should leave."

"Well~ Be careful on the road!" Shui Bo waved goodbye.

"Poga~" Pogaman looked at Xiaozhi's departing figure, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Seeing this, Shui Bo encouraged him, "Go ahead if you want to. After all, the Pogamans living here will leave sooner or later, and you have to find your own destination too."

"Poga~" Pogaman hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then nodded heavily.

Upon seeing this, Shui Bo immediately called out to Xiao Zhi and his group who were leaving: "Xiao Zhi, please wait a moment."

"What's wrong with Shui Bo?" Xiaozhi stopped and turned around to ask.

Shui Bo did not reply, but glanced at Pogona and then said, "Xiaozhi, can you take this Pogona with you on your journey?"

"Eh? Is this really possible?" Xiaozhi asked in surprise.

"Of course ~ and this is Pogaman's own idea." Shui Bo replied.

"Poga~" Pogaman nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Xiaozhi squatted down and stretched out his left hand and said, "Please give me your guidance, Pogaman. From today on, you are my partner."

"Poga~" Pogaman happily jumped into Xiaozhi's arms after hearing that.

"I'm leaving Pogamon in your hands, Xiaozhi, you have to train it well." Shui Bo warned.

"Don't worry~ I will." Xiaozhi promised.

"That's great. I also want to capture a Togaman." Misty looked at the Togaman in Xiaozhi's arms with envy.

"Actually, is there any difference between Ash's Pokémon and yours? After all, you are Ash's future wife, so his Pokémon are your Pokémon, right?" Upon hearing this, Brock patted Misty's shoulder and comforted her.

"That's true~ Satoshi's Pokémon is my Pokémon." Misty became much happier when she heard that.

With the addition of their new partner Pogaman, Xiaozhi and his companions said goodbye to Shui Bo and continued their journey...

...........

After a week of non-stop travel, Xiaozhi and his group finally arrived at Binhai City, where the Binhai Gym is located...

"Finally arrived in Binhai City, I want to get the fourth badge in one go!" Xiaozhi said excitedly.

"Before that, Xiaozhi, you should go to the Pokémon Center and ask Professor Oak to change the competition team." Xiaogang suggested.

"That's true." Xiaozhi agreed, and then ran towards the Pokémon Center.

Bang! !

Ouch~

Xiaozhi ran too fast and accidentally bumped into a pedestrian.

"I'm so sorry. Did I hurt you?" Xiaozhi apologized hurriedly.

"Why is it you, Xiaozhi?" the other party asked in surprise.

"Mr. Denji, I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this." When Xiaozhi looked up, he found that the pedestrian he bumped into was his target this time, the leader of the Marina Gym, Denji.

"I happen to be doing some business nearby. How come you are here, Xiaozhi?" Denci asked curiously.

"I came to the Marina Gym specifically to challenge you in order to obtain the qualifications for the joint gym." Xiaozhi explained.

"I see~ But I have something to do today, so it's not convenient for me to challenge the gym. You can come to the Binhai Gym to find me tomorrow morning." Denci said.

"No problem~" Xiaozhi had no objection to this.

"See you tomorrow then~" Denci said and turned to leave.

After Xiaozhi and his friends said goodbye to Denci, they went to the business street to buy food in preparation for their subsequent journey.

..........

The next morning, Xiaozhi and his friends arrived at the Marina Gym.

"Mr. Denji, I'm here to challenge you in the gym tournament!" Xiaozhi shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the gym.

"Welcome, Xiaozhi!" A familiar voice appeared in front of Xiaozhi.

"Mr. Daye, why are you here?" Xiaozhi recognized the identity of the trainer in front of him at a glance. It was Daye, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sinnoh region.

"I heard from Denci that you would come to challenge the gym tournament, so I came here today to watch the game." Daye said with a smile.

"Are those people in the audience also here to watch the game?" Xiaoxia asked, pointing at the densely packed crowd in the stands.

"Well~ The nearby trainers heard that the Seaside Gym was holding a Joint Badge Challenge today, so they came to the Seaside Gym early in the morning to reserve seats. They wanted to witness the Joint Gym Challenge. After all, this level of battle is a good learning opportunity for the challengers." Daye explained.

"I see~ I didn't expect that the fighting skills of that reckless boy back then could also be learned by the younger generation." Xiaoxia couldn't help but sigh.
