"Ash, full of ambition and unwavering confidence, left Pallet Town with his Pokémon, Pikachu!"
"Wait, wait, why is there something like a recap here!"
Xiao Xia interrupted Yu Feng's chanting when he started saying strange things again. Why would Xiao Feng say something like a recap?
There were only a few of them; what recap did they need?
"Men's hobbies are truly incomprehensible."
"Exactly, exactly."
Yu Feng spread his hands helplessly. Ash, with his arms crossed, agreed with Yu Feng.
"You two, really!"
Xiao Xia clenched her hands, a vein popping on her forehead, but then she suddenly felt a cold, squirming sensation on her leg.
This gave her an ominous premonition. Trembling, she looked down at her leg, where a brown Weedle was wiggling on it.
"Gross! Ash, quickly catch it!"
Xiao Xia instantly shrank behind Yu Feng, urging Ash to quickly capture the Weedle.
Ash calmly pulled out his Pokédex and scanned the Weedle.
"Weedle, it has a sharp poisonous stinger on its head, which it uses to deter intruders."
"A poison sting attack, I need to be careful."
Ash muttered to himself as he listened to the Pokédex's description, making Xiao Xia incredibly nervous.
"I almost forgot, to catch a Pokémon, you have to weaken it first. Pikachu, I'm counting on you!"
Ash was about to catch the Weedle when he remembered the last time. He prepared to have Pikachu defeat the Weedle.
However, Pikachu, who knows where it pulled out a small blanket, lay in it, showing no intention of listening to Ash.
"Never mind, never mind, I have other partners anyway."
Looking at Pikachu, Ash weighed the two Poké Balls in his hand.
"I'm telling you, hurry up and catch it!"
Xiao Xia once again felt the squirming sensation on her leg, her face turning pale as she quickly ran away.
"Honestly, Xiao Xia, you haven't improved at all. Let's go, Pidgeotto, use Hurricane!"
Ash released Pidgeotto to battle, which made Yu Feng feel a wave of relief. He finally understood the type advantages between Pokémon.
Pidgeotto flapped its wings, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that knocked the Weedle back.
After dodging the Weedle's last poison sting, Pidgeotto successfully defeated the Weedle, rendering it unable to battle.
"Alright, now it's time to catch it!"
Seeing Pidgeotto defeat the Weedle, Ash pulled out a Poké Ball, ready to capture it.
"Excuse me, are you a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town?"
A child in samurai armor appeared behind Ash, asking about his origin.
"Yes, but I'm very busy right now. We can talk later."
Ash was about to catch the Weedle and had no intention of dealing with this person who had come to disrupt him. After replying, he prepared to throw the Poké Ball.
After hearing Ash's answer, the samurai youth's eyes flashed with a glint, and his hands rested on the katana strapped to his waist.
Yu Feng, who was watching Ash catch the Weedle from the side, subtly curled his lips. Seriously, did this person think he wasn't there?
Yu Feng extended his arm, his palm loosely clenched, and the samurai youth's movements instantly froze.
His face turned crimson, but he couldn't make any movement. Just then, Xiao Xia also ran back from a distance, and seeing the samurai youth's actions, she loudly called Ash's name.
Ash heard Xiao Xia's shout, turned his head to investigate, and saw the samurai youth, his face flushed, stuck in the act of drawing his sword, unable to move.
"If you don't catch the Weedle soon, it's going to run away."
Yu Feng gestured with his lips, indicating to Ash that the Weedle was about to wake up.
Ash frantically threw the Poké Ball, capturing the Weedle. Then he turned to look at the samurai youth, who was being controlled by Yu Feng.
"Who is he?"
Ash was a bit confused. Looking at the person's actions, he clearly wanted to draw his sword and attack him, but he hadn't done anything. Xiao Xia also ran to Xiao Feng's side with a worried expression.
"I don't know, this guy suddenly drew his sword at me just now. I almost thought I was done for. Ash, do you know him?"
Xiao Xia, relieved to see the two of them unharmed, patted her modest chest, then looked at the samurai youth, who was frozen in place, with a puzzled expression.
"Then let's ask him, but I'll confiscate the dangerous item first."
Yu Feng waved his hand. It had been too long; he had no idea why this person was targeting Trainers from Pallet Town. He had to ask him personally, but before that, he had to get rid of the dangerous item in this person's hand.
Yu Feng made a fist, and the katana in the samurai youth's hand was instantly twisted into a ball as if gripped by immense force. Then Yu Feng released his control over him.
"My katana!"
The moment the samurai youth was released, he immediately went to examine his beloved katana, but after realizing it was beyond saving, he glared at Yu Feng with an angry look, though a closer look revealed his eyes were filled with fear.
"Who exactly are you? Are you trying to rob us?"
Ash looked at the samurai youth with a puzzled expression. He didn't remember offending such a person.
"I am not a robber who wants money!"
When Ash questioned him, the samurai youth finally regained a bit of spirit, looking at Ash expressionlessly.
"Then who are you?"
Xiao Xia was very displeased with this person who pointed a sword at them. This was not safe behavior.
"I am a samurai, undergoing Pokémon Trainer training in this forest. I challenge you to a Pokémon battle!"
"Come on, let's have a match."
The samurai youth subconsciously reached for his sword, but remembering it had turned into a lump of iron, he reluctantly withdrew his hand.
He pulled out his Poké Ball and issued a challenge to Ash.
"Allow me to say a few words. With what attitude are you challenging people, by forcing them with a sword?"
"Moreover, you almost prevented Ash from catching the Weedle. Don't you know not to disturb others when they are catching Pokémon?"
Yu Feng was a bit confused. Although battling was the main theme of this world, what this youth was doing was very dangerous. Not to mention that swords have no eyes, he clearly saw someone catching a Pokémon yet interrupted their capture process.
If it were someone with a bad temper, they would surely make sure he wouldn't see the sun tomorrow.
"That's not my fault. If it escaped, it only means his technique isn't mature enough."
The samurai youth didn't care. If he didn't catch it, that was his own problem. He had never stopped him from catching Pokémon from beginning to end.
Seeing the samurai youth's unrepentant demeanor, Yu Feng was directly amused. He knew that although he couldn't remember the later circumstances, it was clear that he had caused a very serious incident.
Yu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pointed at the samurai youth with one hand, speaking in a cold tone.
