Chapter 112 Squirtle

Ash helped Misty take off the heavy equipment from her body, and then he took off his own.

He immediately felt refreshed.

The firefighting suit was too thick and stuffy.

At the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of firefighters in his heart.

He admired this group of respectable people.

"Officer Jenny, since the task has been completed, can we go?" Ash looked at Misty, who looked a little tired, and then asked Officer Jenny.

"No problem, your trainer numbers have been registered, and the rewards will be issued tomorrow at the latest." Officer Jenny nodded with a smile, "Thank you so much for your help this time."

"You're welcome, then we're leaving first." Ash and Misty said goodbye to Officer Jenny and were about to leave, but Pikachu on Ash's shoulder pulled his hair.

"What's wrong, Pikachu?" Ash paused, turning his head to look at Pikachu on his left shoulder in doubt.

"Pika, Pika——!" Pikachu pointed in the direction behind him, but Ash looked over.

Ash and Misty looked behind suspiciously and found that two or three meters away, a petite Squirtle was looking at them, or at Ash.

Originally, Squirtle's eyes were a little disappointed because it saw that Ash was about to leave, but after seeing Ash turn around to see it, it couldn't help showing a look of surprise and a little hesitation.

"What a cute Squirtle!" Misty's eyes lit up. She didn't care about it because of the firefighting before, but now that she relaxed, after seeing Squirtle, she couldn't help seeing Lie Xinxi and wanted to capture a Squirtle.

Squirtle was a Water-type Pokémon, and it also had good potential. It would be a good thing if one could be captured.

But Squirtle ignored Misty but looked at Ash with a trace of longing in his eyes.

"What? Do you want to leave with me?" Ash came to Squirtle and looked at the other Squirtles a few meters away. Although the other Squirtles were a little bit reluctant, they didn't come forward to keep their leader. They knew what their leader was thinking.

In other words... If there were no other Squirtles, their leader might have left Cerulean City a long time ago. It was their existence that held their leader back.

"Squirtle!" Squirtle nodded immediately upon hearing this and then looked at Ash expectantly.

"What..." Misty on the side looked at Squirtle with some disappointment, but she didn't expect Squirtle to actively follow Ash, which made her wish to capture this Squirtle come to nothing.

"If you want to follow me, it's very hard. You usually have to train, and you also have to fight against many powerful enemies. After all, my goal is to become the world's number one trainer!" Ash stretched out his hand and touched Squirtle's head, explaining his ambitions.

"Squirtle!" But after hearing this, Squirtle's eyes lit up, and it made an excited sound, expressing that it was fearless.

"In this case...you are welcome to join us! From now on, we will be companions!" Ash smiled slightly and put the hand touching Squirtle's head in front of Squirtle.

"Pika, Pikachu!" Pikachu also jumped in front of Squirtle, expressing his welcome.

"Squirtle, Squirtle!" Squirtle put his short hand on Ash's without hesitation!

"[Achievement: All members gathered], the number of reward draws *1."

Squirtle

Attribute: water

Category: Tiny Turtle Pokémon

Ability: Torrent; Hidden Ability: Rain Dish

Torrent: When the Pokémon with this ability drops to one-third or even lower HP, the power of Water-type moves will be increased by 1.5 times

Strength: ordinary level

In the Pokémon Center dormitory, Ash released Squirtle and other Pokémon, let them get to know each other, and observed Squirtle's information at the same time.

Squirtle was only at the ordinary level now, but it was estimated that it was not far from a breakthrough. If it evolved, it would undoubtedly break through to the elite level. Ash also tended to let Squirtle evolve, but it still depended on Squirtle's own wishes.

Just like Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur was now at the boundary of the ordinary level, and it could reach the elite level if it went further, and it already had enough energy to evolve.

But it didn't seem to want to evolve very much.

Ash didn't try to force it; he just tried to convince Bulbasaur. If Bulbasaur didn't evolve, its strength would improve more slowly, and it would understand by itself when it fell behind its companions.

"Knock, knock..."

Someone knocked at the door. Ash returned his Pokémon to their Poké Balls, called Pikachu, and opened the door. Misty, who had washed up and changed, stood outside.

"It's almost time. Let's go to the lobby and wait for Brock," Misty said to Ash with a smile.

"Hmm..." Ash closed the door and went to the hall with Misty. After waiting for a few minutes, they saw Brock entering the Pokémon Center.

After greeting Brock, and after Brock put his things in the dormitory, they all went to the restaurant to eat and share what happened in the afternoon.

"I didn't expect you to participate in the firefighting operation. I also saw the thick smoke over there, but I didn't go to join in the fun." After learning about Ash and Misty's afternoon, Brock sighed.

"Squirtle's recipes will trouble you, Brock!" Ash said to Brock. Brock formulated all of his Pokémon's daily recipes. Brock's recipes also helped the Pokémon get the nutrition they needed and grow faster. They were indeed powerful.

"No problem, leave it to me!" Brock showed a confident smile. "And I plan to further change all the Pokémon recipes. I learned more from Professor Bill. My purchases this afternoon were for the recipe changes!"

"Oh, Brock, you're the best!"

Ash's eyes lit up. It was indeed the right decision to invite Brock to join the team.

Although the original anime did not show it, Ash in the original book could make such significant improvements. He could enter the top sixteen of the Indigo Plateau Conference, and Brock must have helped him.

After dinner, everyone returned to the dormitory.

Misty didn't go to her dormitory but went to Brock and Ash's dormitory to work on the recipes together.

She also began to learn from Brock in this regard. After all, she would become a Gym Leader, and cultivating Pokémon was a must.

After seeing Squirtle's situation, Brock quickly made a recipe, improved the previous recipe, and began to prepare food on the spot. The final product made the Pokémon very happy.

Seeing this scene, Brock showed a gratified smile. He felt that he was one step closer to being a top Breeder!
