Pokemon: Release? Nonexistent

Chapter 1223 Orchard

(Second update!! Please collect and send flowers!!)

After separating from Vivi and the others, we continued to Ecruteak City. While walking on the road, Xiaogang's mood was not very high.

Misty also noticed it, but didn't know what to say.

"Vivi is willing to leave Vulpix in your care. In fact, as long as you ask, you still have a chance to stay, right?"

Looking at Misty's eyes, Ash looked helplessly at Xiaogang, and then said.

"Ugh...

After hearing what Ash said, Xiaogang was also slightly startled. He didn't know whether it was because of Ash's sudden opening or what Ash said.

That Xiaoqiu said that Vivi was only willing to leave Vulpix to Xiaogang's care, which showed that Xiaogang was not totally without a chance.

Maybe Vivi may not have him in her heart, but if she can stay close to the water, she might still have a chance.

And with Xiaogang’s thick skin, he shouldn’t be someone who is afraid of being rejected!

You know, in the Orange Islands, without knowing whether there was any chance of 22, he chose to stay with Professor Uchigi without any hesitation.

Of course, it could also be because of Professor Uchigi's incident, which left a shadow in his heart? But seeing as he still chats up people everywhere, he obviously doesn't have a long memory, right?

"I don't want to cause trouble to Miss Vivi." After a moment of silence, Xiao Gang responded.

Xiaogang didn't want to say in his heart that Vivi seemed to be a better match for Xiaoxiang, so he just said that he didn't want to cause trouble to Vivi.

"If you were afraid that Vivi would be troubled, you shouldn't have come to see her in the first place."

"If we just return Vulpix, there are other ways."

Ash detected his idea at a glance. If he wanted to return Vulpix to Vivi, he could use the teleporter and there was no need to make a special trip.

"I..." Listening to Ash's words, Xiaogang was speechless for a while.

"Oh... forget it, no matter what the reason is, now that you have decided, at least cheer up!"

Ash looked at this scene and didn't want to ask anymore, after all, he was feeling uncomfortable right now.

"Well! Thank you for your concern. I will adjust soon."

Xiaogang listened to Ash's words, looked at the two people's concerned eyes, and then responded seriously.

"This is the Xiaogang we know!"

Upon seeing this, Misty finally intervened. She wanted to say something before, but was afraid that she would say the wrong thing.

Without further ado, the three of them came to a fruit forest before they knew it. The fruit trees exuded bursts of fruity fragrance. [As far as the eye could see, the green trees were covered with red apple fruits.

"There are so many fruit trees!" Misty sighed as she looked closer.

"These look like they were planted by someone."

Xiaogang observed it and could see that these were not natural growth but specially planted by someone.

Duhe~~~

"No, Togepi, these were grown by others!"

Togepi looked at the red fruit and raised his hand in Misty's arms to pick it.

Although it was still a little far away, Misty still reminded it, and the three of them walked into the orchard.

"But these fruits look delicious!"

While walking, even though she had just reminded Togepi, Misty herself looked a little greedy.

"No matter how delicious it is, after all, it was grown by someone else and you can't just pick it!" Ash responded after hearing the sound.

"Yes! It would be bad if someone takes it off casually and is regarded as a Thief."

Listening to Ash's words, Xiaogang also responded at the same time.

Pikapi!!!

At this time, Pikachu's voice came. After hearing the sound, the three of them subconsciously stopped and looked at Pikachu.

I found Pikachu standing on the ground, with several cleanly chewed fruit cores on the ground under his feet.

"Pikachu, what are you doing? How can you steal other people's fruits like this?" Misty said sternly.

Pika?? Pika! Pika! Pika!

Pikachu was slightly startled when he heard the sound, and then his hair suddenly became furious, and he quickly waved his hands and shook his head.

"What's wrong with Pikachu?" Looking at Pikachu's reaction, Ash naturally understood what Pikachu meant and responded.

"Ah? Not Pikachu? Who ate it then?" Misty asked in confusion after hearing the sound.

Hum!!!

At this time, a burst of movement came, and the three of them heard the movement around them.

"What is this sound?" Misty asked in confusion after hearing the sound.

"It should be a mechanism for people here to prevent outsiders from stealing the fruits!"

This sound sounds like the sound of wooden boards colliding. The effect is similar to that of a bell. As long as it comes into contact, it will cause a chain reaction to make sounds.

"So, is someone stealing fruits? But I can't see where they are!"

There were dense trees all around, and it was impossible to see what was around. Ash raised his head and looked around, raising his senses to search.

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped between the branches, and Ash's eyes froze.

"There! Pikachu!!"

After feeling the other person, Ash503 gave an order, and Pikachu responded quickly and turned his head quickly.

Pika~~~Qiu!!!

Pikachu's power was released, and a Spark went in the direction of the fruit tree.

The black figure was obviously startled, and Pikachu didn't want to hurt the fruit trees, so he deliberately avoided them.

Thunder and lightning swept between the trees, and the black shadow avoided it in time. Pikachu's attack missed, but under Astonish, the thing in the black shadow's hand also fell from the air, and Pikachu caught it just in time.

The black shadow suddenly disappeared. Xiaogang and Misty were slightly stunned when they saw this scene.

Pickup!!

Pikachu frowned slightly when he saw this scene and did not catch Thief. You must know that it was misunderstood because of these guys of unknown origin.

Ash also took a look at the thing that fell. It was a fruit with a very shallow bite mark on it.

"The fruit-stealing Thief!!"

At this moment, there was a sound, and then a net flew out from the side and fell directly in the direction of Pikachu.

"Pikachu, get out of the way!" Ash shouted to Pikachu immediately upon seeing this.

Pickup!!!

Pikachu quickly stepped back, and the big net fell, failing to catch Pikachu and falling directly to the ground. .
