Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

What is unexpected is that... Musashi and Kojiro are lurking behind a big tree not far away. They are indeed humanoid Xiaozhi detectors. Wherever Xiaozhi is, they are there, and they can accurately follow Xiaozhi every time...

"According to the little boy's speculation, the Pokémon with Pikachu must be Meowth without a doubt." Kojiro said with certainty.

"As long as we follow the little brat, we can not only find Meowth but also catch Pikachu. It's really killing two birds with one stone." Musashi said with a smile.

“What a great feeling.”*2

"Tonaza~"

Then he followed Xiaozhi stealthily...

.........

Xiaozhi and his group followed Rattata into the cave...

As soon as Xiaozhi stepped into the cave, he couldn't wait to look around for Pikachu. But unfortunately, Xiaozhi didn't see the familiar figure of Pikachu, and couldn't help showing a disappointed look.

"Yes~"

At this moment... the little Rattata suddenly looked up and pointed his tiny paw towards the top of the cave...

Xiaozhi looked in the direction pointed by Rattata... and saw a narrow hole above the cave...

"Could it be that Pikachu left the cave through this hole above?" Xiaozhi guessed.

"Yes~"

Little Rada nodded, then quickly climbed the rock wall and got out of the cave.

"Let's follow them." Xiaozhi urged hurriedly, and then climbed up the rock wall without hesitation. Xiaozhi, who was nimble, climbed out of the cave as quickly as a monkey...

Although Brock was not as agile as Satoshi, he managed to climb out of the cave. However, as a girl, it was more difficult for Misty to climb the rock wall. Fortunately, with the help of Satoshi and Brock, he managed to climb out of the cave...

"It's getting dark soon. The forest is more dangerous after dark. We must speed up!" Xiaoxia reminded anxiously.

"Yeah~ I understand." Xiaozhi was also anxious.

"But~" Rattata, who smelled Pikachu's scent, pointed forward and shouted.

Xiaozhi and his group hurriedly followed Rattata, and under the leadership of Rattata, Xiaozhi and his group came to a big tree...

"Is Pikachu on this tree?" Xiaozhi climbed up the tree eagerly, but halfway up he found a pair of red eyes staring at him...

"Ah~ There are so many centipedes!" Xiaoxia was so scared when she saw the densely packed centipedes on the tree that she immediately hid behind Xiaogang.

"Yes~"

At this time, Rattata seemed to smell Pikachu somewhere else...

"Ah~"

Seeing this, Spearow immediately flew to Xiaozhi's shoulder and shouted angrily, trying to scare away the centipede.

"Lie..." Xiaozhi was about to say something, but was interrupted by Rattata who suddenly jumped onto his left shoulder.

"But~" said little Rada, pointing in a certain direction.

"You mean Pikachu just came here and was not on this tree? Instead, he went somewhere else." Xiaozhi confirmed.

"Yes~" Little Rada nodded.

After getting the affirmation from Rattata, Xiaozhi smiled awkwardly at the Centipede and said, "You guys take a good rest. I'm leaving first."

Xiaozhi said and turned around and ran, but the centipedes would not let Xiaozhi go so easily. Then all the centipedes on the tree jumped to the ground and surrounded Xiaozhi and his group...

"This is going to be a big trouble~" Xiaoxia trembled all over as she looked at the centipedes around her.

"Ah~" *N, at this moment... dozens of Spearows flew towards Xiaozhi and his group. It seemed that these Spearows were looking for their leader...

"Ah~"

Seeing the oncoming brothers, Spearow smiled faintly, then looked at the Rattata standing on Ash's left shoulder, and then they jumped to the ground at the same time...

After landing, Spearow and Rattata pushed the Centipede that blocked their way aside without hesitation, and signaled Xiaozhi to leave quickly, leaving the place to them...

"Thank you, Spearow and Rattata." Ash thanked him, and then he led Brock and Misty to quickly run in the direction that Rattata had pointed to...

"Just~"*N

The rest of the Centipedefoots wanted to stop Xiaozhi and his companions from leaving, but they were stopped by the oncoming group of Spearows. Looking at this group of aggressive Spearows, the Centipedefoots could only watch Xiaozhi and his companions leave. At the same time, they did not release poison needles like they did to Meowth before. After all, attacking their companions in front of the Spearows would definitely cause a war between the races. The Centipedefoots did not want to have a large-scale battle with the Spearows because of a small matter. This would not benefit both sides...

.........

On the rocky hill, the poisoned Meow Meow lay motionless on the ground...

"I didn't expect that I would end up like this. Not only was I shot into a hedgehog by the centipedes, but I was also poisoned by them."

"Sooner or later, I will catch them all and give them to Boss Banmu as a gift, meow." Meow Meow said weakly.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu suddenly remembered that the Peach Fruit could detoxify. After all, when he was poisoned, Xiaozhi used the Peach Fruit to detoxify himself.

"Green Caterpillar, do you know where I can pick peach fruits?" Pikachu asked.

"I'm not sure. I'm not familiar with this area." The caterpillar shook his head.

"As for peach fruit, I know where to find it." Suddenly a walking grass jumped out from the bushes.

"Really? Do you know where to find peach fruit?" Pikachu asked in surprise.

"Of course, you guys follow me." Walking Grass said.

Pikachu and Caterpillar looked at each other, and then followed the walking grass to find peach fruit...

After a long time, Pikachu handed the peach fruit to Meowth.

"This is the peach fruit that can detoxify. Are you going to give it to me?" Meow Meow asked.

"Pika~" Pikachu smiled.

"Then I will accept it without hesitation." Meow Meow happily took the detoxification fruit and put it into his mouth. After taking the peach fruit, Meow Meow was immediately freed from the poisoning state, and then he lay on the ground to rest.

Suddenly, a bright light fell on Pikachu, and Pikachu looked up curiously... He saw an extremely bright moon hanging in the night sky, emitting a soft and warm light, illuminating everything around it clearly...

"Pica~"

Pikachu seemed to see Xiaozhi's smile in the moon, and then took off the hat on his head and held it in his arms.

"Pikachu, what's wrong with you?" the green caterpillar asked.

"I miss my trainer Xiaozhi. I wonder where he is now?" Pikachu replied sadly.

"Don't worry, Pikachu. You will definitely find your trainer." The caterpillar consoled him.

"Pika~" Pikachu nodded heavily, holding the hat tightly in his arms.

........

Instead, Xiaozhi and his companions, guided by Rattata, came to a pile of rocks...
