“His goal is to become the world's number one Pokémon Trainer. For Ash now, that dream is gradually becoming a goal.”
Yu Feng didn't know why he started narrating again. Hearing Yu Feng's narration, Yu Teng Sheng Dai knew that something was definitely going to happen.
After all, every time he started narrating, something would happen. It was unclear if it was good or bad, but staying by his side was definitely the right choice. Thinking this, Yu Teng Sheng Dai quietly hid beside Yu Feng.
Yu Feng glanced at her but said nothing, knowing that hiding behind him meant she still had a chance, unlike the others who hadn't reacted yet.
“Don't praise me so much, I'll get embarrassed.”
Ash turned his head foolishly, thanking Yu Feng for the praise.
Silly child, was I praising you?
“But can things go so smoothly? Couldn't there be a trap somewhere?”
Yu Feng looked at Ash, who was smiling foolishly at him and not paying attention to the road ahead, and at Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang, who were still following Ash, and couldn't help but sigh.
“Huh?”
Ash suddenly found his foot sinking into the ground. He looked at his foot, which was stuck in the ground, with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Xia, Xiao Gang, and Pikachu, who caught up from behind, also came to observe Ash's situation of sinking into the ground, as a flat ground collapsing was truly rare.
Yu Feng saw that he had already made it clear enough, but Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia still gathered to watch. He silently prayed for them.
As expected, as Ash tried to pull his foot out of the ground, the already unstable trap immediately collapsed, and Ash and the others instantly fell into the trap.
“I knew it, the trap appeared.”
Yu Feng's tone carried a hint of a smile as he and Yu Teng Sheng Dai looked down at Ash and the others in the pit from above the trap.
Inside the trap.
“Damn it, that hurts!”
Ash closed his eyes and rubbed his head, which had been hit. He really didn't expect to fall into a trap again.
“It seems to be a trap, but it's in the middle of the road.”
Xiao Xia stood up and looked around. As expected, they had stepped into a trap again. Eh, why did she say 'again'? It couldn't be that they had stepped into too many traps recently, hahahahahahaha... “Xiao Feng, stop laughing, quickly pull us up.”
Xiao Gang looked at Yu Feng, who was stifling his laughter, and Yu Teng Sheng Dai, who was sticking her head out and giggling foolishly, with a speechless expression. He could have helped them in advance, but he just watched them fall, which was an indescribable mischievousness.
“Squirtle! Squirtle!”
Suddenly, five blue... Squirtle wearing sunglasses emerged from the side. They were also laughing with Yu Feng at Ash and the other two below. The Squirtle Boss, wearing triangular sunglasses, even patted Yu Feng's shoulder.
He proudly introduced his dug trap to this strange companion, showing off how amazing he was and how many humans he had trapped again. As for the human next to this companion, it was fine if he didn't trap her.
Yu Feng, with a smiling face, not only nodded in acknowledgment but also pointed to the bottom of the trap, signaling Squirtle Boss to look down.
Squirtle Boss rubbed his bald head and squinted at the trap, only to see Ash furiously climbing up.
He then signaled his subordinates to retreat backward, giving Ash and the others some standing space.
“If you guys go too far, I will absolutely not forgive you.”
Ash finally climbed up and glared at the five Squirtle in front of him. There were no other people nearby, and looking at the Squirtle's smiles, and how they rushed to mock them immediately after the incident, it was clear that this trap was dug by them.
Ignoring the Squirtle's mockery, Ash came to the ground, opened his Pokédex to record the Squirtle's information, and then became a little excited. This was the Pokémon he wanted most, Squirtle.
(Charmander, Bulbasaur: Why does this sound familiar?)
Excitedly, he commanded Pikachu to go forward, ready to catch Squirtle.
For some reason, Pikachu was very obedient to Ash today. He went forward and unleashed a Thunderbolt at Squirtle Boss.
“Squirtle! (I can't take it anymore.)”
Seeing this, a subordinate pushed the Boss away and blocked Pikachu's Thunderbolt himself, then collapsed weakly to the ground.
“Pika! (What do you want?)”
“Squirtle Squirtle! (Want to fight!)”
“Pika! (Who's afraid of whom!)”
“That's what they said.”
Yu Feng watched Pikachu and Squirtle confront each other on the field, explaining to Ash and the others, who were looking at him curiously, what the two of them were saying.
As the atmosphere between the two Pokémon, one mouse and one turtle, became increasingly tense, and even intense sparks filled the air, Ash and the others also began to get nervous.
A siren sounded, and Squirtle Boss looked up, realizing something was wrong. He took the Squirtle subordinate who had just blocked the attack for him and fled the troubled area.
“What is it with these guys?”
Ash looked at the Squirtle running away, completely confused. What was going on? They came to mock them and then ran away.
“Screech—!”
The sound of a motorcycle braking sharply rang out behind them. Turning around, they saw a Jenny.
“Are any of you injured? Are you okay?”
Although there were no injuries on the people in front of her, it was still customary to ask them.
At this moment, Jenny seemed to notice something. She looked at Yu Feng with an excited expression and said excitedly, “You must be the boy my cousins told me about. It's a pity you look so much like a girl.”
“Jenny!”
Ash was excited to see Jenny. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance so far away, so he eagerly greeted Jenny.
“Why do you know my name?”
Jenny was very puzzled as to why Ash knew her name. She seemed to have forgotten that all of them in all regions were named Jenny.
“You forgot, didn't we meet in Viridian City?”
Ash was still happy and carefree. He seemed to have also forgotten what the Jenny in Cerulean City had said.
“Oh!”
Jenny also remembered why Ash knew her name. She put down the kickstand, stepped off the motorcycle, and continued, “You met my cousin.”
“Cousin?”
Ash's brain began to compute frantically. He vaguely remembered someone having told him something similar.
“That's right, all my cousins are policewomen, and we all look very much alike.”
Saying this, Jenny pulled out a group photo of her cousins from her pocket. If she hadn't explained beforehand that they were cousins, one might have almost thought they were identical clones.
(Yu Feng: It is well known that only Pokémon have many family members who look very similar, so Jenny and Joy...)
“So it's a police family!”
Ash's frantically computing brain finally stopped, but everyone vaguely smelled something burning.
