Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"Hera~" When Heracross saw Xiaozhi whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he immediately let go of the seeds, flapped his wings and flew into Xiaozhi's arms, licking Xiaozhi's face with his tongue.

"Haha~ It's so itchy~ Heracross." Xiaozhi laughed while hugging Heracross.

"Seed~Seed~" Bulbasaur came to Xiaozhi's feet at this time...

"Bulbasaur, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?" Xiaozhi half-knelt and stroked Bulbasaur's head with his hand.

"Seed~Seed~" Bulbasaur called out with some enjoyment.

"Bulbasaur, please gather our friends over," Xiaozhi asked.

BOOM! ! !

"Seeds~" Bulbasaur nodded, then stored the energy in the seeds on its back and shot energy seeds into the air. The energy seeds exploded in the air like fireworks...

"Is this a seed bomb? I didn't expect that you, Bulbasaur, have learned a new move." Xiaozhi said in surprise.

"Seed~Seed~" Bulbasaur said that he and his friends have been working hard to learn new moves and become stronger over the years, just to contribute to Xiaozhi's dream one day...

"Bulbasaur..." When Xiaozhi understood what Bulbasaur meant, he was very moved.

Tread~tap~tap~

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded in Xiaozhi's ears. Xiaozhi looked up in the direction of the sound... He saw hundreds of Pokémon running towards Xiaozhi...

"Well~"

When a yellow Pokémon in the group saw Xiaozhi holding Heracross, it became jealous and rushed to Xiaozhi at a very fast speed and threw him to the ground, while rubbing its head against Xiaozhi's chest...

As for Heracross in Xiaozhi's arms, when Laurel threw Xiaozhi to the ground, he was knocked away. However, Pikachu, who had foresight, had already distanced himself from Laurel the moment he threw himself at Xiaozhi...

"Hera?" Heracross, who was knocked away by the laurel leaves, blinked in confusion, as if he had not yet reacted why he was knocked away by the laurel leaves.

I was clearly in Xiaozhi's arms just now, but in the blink of an eye, I came into close contact with the ground...

"Bei Li~" Bayleaf looked at Heracross who fell to the ground and was very proud. She thought to herself: "Huh~ I'll let you steal my Xiaozhi, even if you are a male."

"Heracross, are you okay?" When Xiaozhi saw Heracross lying on the ground, he quickly removed the laurel leaves from his body and ran to his side to ask with concern.

"Hera~" Heracross shook his head to indicate that he was thick-skinned and it wouldn't be a problem.

"Bei Li~" Bayleaf was about to get jealous when she saw Lizard King and other Pokémon surrounding Xiaozhi and greeting him affectionately...

Seeing this, Bayleaf had no time to get jealous and hurriedly squeezed into the Pokémon group...

Ash was surrounded by Pokémon. The Pokémon standing on his left were Bulbasaur, Charizard, Crawl, Muddy, Snorlax, and 30 Kensatos captured in the Kanto region, and Heracross, Bayleaf, Moltres, Crocodile, Owlhawk, and Donkey Kong captured in the Johto region.

Standing on Ash's right are the Great Swallow, Lizard King, Slither, Coal Turtle, and Hydra who were captured in the Hoenn region, and the Moeko, Tortoise, Infernape, Scorpio, Sharknado, and Itachi who were captured in the Sinnoh region.

Standing behind Ash are Water Otter, Snake, Slippery, Blue Toad, Mantle, Crocodile, Chicken Little, Baby Bug, and Hogwarts, who were captured in the Unova region.

Standing in front of Xiaozhi are Wrestling Hawk, Flamehawk, and Sonic Dragon who were captured in the Kalos region.

"Long time no see~How are you all doing?" Xiaozhi asked with concern.

"Kirby~"

"Moo~"

"LeLe Yo~"

"Thank you~"

"Cuckoo~"

........

Snorlax and other Pokémon said that they were very comfortable in the backyard of Oak Research Institute, but they missed Xiaozhi...

Xiaozhi, who felt the longing of the Pokémon, was filled with emotion. These Pokémon were all his companions who had accompanied him for a period of time...

But in order to challenge new areas, Xiaozhi released these old partners in the research institute...

Besides, Xiaozhi was always too busy. He would set off on a new journey not long after finishing each trip, and he never spent enough time with them...

After bringing Pidgeot and the others back, Xiaozhi plans to stay in Professor Oak's laboratory to accompany them for a while. After all, they also need the company of a trainer...

As for those Pokémon who left the team for some reason and cannot return, I should also take time to visit them...

"I wonder how Melissa, Squirtle, and Baby Kiras are doing now? Let's take this opportunity to visit them." Xiaozhi murmured.

"Kentaro needs your help in his next journey. Can you lend me a hand?" Xiaozhi then turned and asked the Kentaro leader who was standing on the left.

"Moo~" Chief Kentaro expressed his great pleasure.

After getting Kentaro's consent, Xiaozhi and Pikachu rode Kentaro to leave Professor Oak's Institute and headed to the first stop, the Evergreen Forest....

Team Rocket Headquarters...

"I'm asking you what Team Rocket is?" asked Banmu, who was sitting on the sofa.

"An evil organization that has always stood at the forefront of the Pokémon world." Musashi answered while kneeling on one knee.

"Then what is evil?" Banmu continued to ask.

"Collect all the powerful and rare Pokémon." Kojiro answered while kneeling on one knee.

"What is its purpose?" Banmu continued to ask.

"The goal is to form the strongest Pokémon army with the rare Pokémon we have snatched, and then rely on the powerful Pokémon army to conquer the world." Meowth answered while kneeling on one knee.

"That's right~ The purpose of our Rocket Team's existence is to conquer the world, but I received reliable information that those little devils who had disappeared have reappeared."

"In order to prevent those little brats from hindering our Team Rocket's ambition to conquer the world, I decided to give each of you a secret weapon." Itaki threw the two prepared Poké Balls to Kojiro and Musashi.

Seeing this, Kojiro and Musashi hurriedly caught the Poké Ball thrown over...

"Boss Itaki, what's this..." Kojiro looked at Itaki in surprise.

"These two Pokémon were originally trained for cadre-level members, but in order to enhance your strength, I will give these two Pokémon to you."

"After all, the three of you are members of Team Rocket's special operations team from today on, and your salaries will be doubled. Since you are a special operations team, you of course need a powerful Pokémon as a trump card, so as not to embarrass Team Rocket." Itaki explained.
