Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"Pica~"

Pikachu looked in the direction pointed by Xiaozhi... and saw dozens of fireflies living on a big tree not far away...

"Pikachu, defeat the other contestants before they arrive. Use 10 volts."

"Pica~"

Pikachu's entire body was instantly filled with electricity, and he aimed at the fireflies on the tree and released dozens of electric currents...

"Volbeat~"*32

The fireflies that were resting on the branches were hit by the sudden high voltage current and fell down like raindrops. Their tails that flickered with faint light became dim the moment they hit the ground, and their bodies collapsed to the ground powerlessly, completely losing their ability to fight...

Xiaozhi looked at the fireflies that fainted on the ground and didn't throw the ball immediately. Instead, he scratched his head in distress: "Although it's fun to catch dozens of fireflies at a time, it will take a long time just to throw the ball."

"Pica~"

Pikachu took out two park balls from the basket and threw them at the fainted Lightning Bug, saying that he could also help throw the balls.

"Thank you, Pikachu~" Xiaozhi then picked up the park ball and threw it at the fainted firefly...

32 park balls hit the firefly's head at the same time, and then turned it into a red light and absorbed it. Then the park balls fell to the ground and kept shaking, looking like they were about to explode at any time...

Xiaozhi nervously watched the wildly shaking park ball and swallowed his saliva, fearing that the electric firefly would escape from the park ball...

Ding Dong! The park ball stopped shaking, which means it was successfully captured...

Looking at the park ball that stopped shaking in front of him, Xiaozhi finally felt relieved and smiled brightly. After all, being able to catch 32 fireflies in one breath was a pretty good record.

"Pikachu, we have to keep working hard. Maybe we can get good results in this Firefly Party." Xiaozhi said excitedly.

"Pica~"

After Xiaozhi picked up all the park balls on the ground, he and Pikachu continued to search for fireflies and sweet fireflies...

With the previous experience, Xiaozhi and Pikachu spent the next period of time looking for electric fireflies and sweet fireflies on the big trees....

Hard work pays off. Xiaozhi finally found 26 sweet fireflies on a big tree and captured them...

"Ding~ The competition time is up. Contestants, please leave the forest park and go to the registration office to count the number of Pokémon you have captured." The sound of the end of the competition rang out in the air.

"Is it time?" Xiaozhi murmured, and then he left the forest park with Pikachu and lined up at the registration office...

"Okay~ Now it's the turn of the last player, Xiaozhi. Please hand the park ball to the staff for counting." The host explained.

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi handed the captured park ball to the staff for counting...

"Contestant Xiaozhi has caught a total of fifty-eight Pokémon, including thirty-two Lightning Fireflies and twenty-six SweetFirefly." The staff quickly counted the number.

"I didn't expect that this boy named Xiaozhi is so powerful. He was able to capture 58 Pokémon in half an hour. You know, the highest record in previous years was only 35." Passerby A said in surprise.

"It looks like Xiaozhi will be the Firefly champion this year." Passerby C said.

"Ash has captured 58 Pokémon. It seems that Ash will be the winner of this competition," said the host.

"Wait a minute~ I haven't counted the Pokémon I captured yet."

The sudden words attracted everyone's attention, and they looked in the direction of the voice... Only to see a breathless teenager running to the staff and handing the park ball in his hand to the staff...

The staff counted the park balls in the boy's hand and showed a surprised look: "The number of Pokémon captured by Xiaofeng is the same as the number captured by Xiaozhi."

Xiaofeng was surprised when he heard this and looked Xiaozhi up and down. You know, the reason why he was able to catch such a large number of fireflies was because of Windy's sense of smell. Could it be that the other party also had Windy?

"Both contestants have captured 58 Pokémon. How do we choose the champion?" Xiaozhi asked.

"When the number of captured Pokémon is the same, both sides will send out their partners to have a Pokémon battle, and the winner will be the champion of this competition." The host replied.

"I didn't expect that the Pokémon Capture Contest would turn into a Pokémon showdown." Misty said in surprise from the audience.

"Isn't this exactly what Xiaozhi wants? We can use this match as a warm-up before challenging the gym." Xiaogang understood Xiaozhi's thoughts very well.

"Pokémon battle? Just what I want..." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

Just as Xiaogang said, Xiaozhi is very happy to accept the Pokémon Duel.

"Pica~"

"I have no objection either~" Xiaofeng replied.

"Then please follow me, both contestants, to the exclusive battle venue for this Pokémon showdown!" the host said with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation to Xiaozhi and Xiaofeng in front of him.

Xiaozhi and Xiaofeng looked at each other, their eyes full of desire and determination for victory, and then they followed the host to the Pokémon competition venue...

"Then the Pokémon Showdown between Feng and Xiaozhi will now officially begin."

"The rules of the match are one-on-one, there is no time limit, and the first attacker is Xiaofeng." the referee announced.

"I'm counting on you, Windy!" Xiaofeng threw a Poké Ball.

"Ow~"

The white light dissipated, and a large dog-like Pokémon appeared in front of everyone. It had fluffy flaxen hair and a long fluffy tail, and its body was covered with black stripes.

"Arcane, a legendary Pokémon, is the evolved form of Growlithe. It is said to be a fast Pokémon that can run kilometers a day and night, and the blazing fire in its body will turn into its power." Xiaozhi took out his Rotom phone to scan the other party's information.

"Pikachu, I'm counting on you." Xiaozhi said to Pikachu.

"Pika~" Pikachu jumped lightly from Xiaozhi's shoulder to the competition field.

"It's a common and ordinary Pokémon like Pikachu. It looks like I will definitely win this competition." Xiaofeng was full of confidence.

Pikachu is like a vase to most trainers. Because of its cute appearance, many female trainers will capture it as a playmate. Of course, there are also a few trainers who will capture it or let it evolve into Raichu...

Compared to Pikachu, its evolved form Raichu is much stronger. Most trainers capture Pikachu just to evolve it into Raichu...

"The game starts now!" the referee announced.

"Windspeed, use Jet Fire!" Xiaofeng ordered.

"Awoo~" Windspeed Dog aimed at Pikachu and sprayed a blazing pillar of fire...

"Pikachu uses Lightning Flash!"

"Pica~"

Pikachu quickly dodged to the left to avoid the jet of flames, and rushed towards the wind speed dog at lightning speed. Because of the high speed, a visible white light formed behind him...

"Pika~" Pikachu hits Windy Dog hard, knocking it back several steps...

"This Pikachu is so fast!" Xiaofeng said in surprise.
