"It's a Pokémon!"
Ash immediately turned around, looking excitedly at the small red crab, and took out his Pokédex to scan it.
Soon after, a machine-like voice came out, introducing the information about this red Pokémon.
Krabby: A Pokémon that inhabits the seashore, a crab that averages 40 centimeters in height...
"The average height is forty centimeters...?"
Ash listened to the machine's introduction to the Pokédex, and with a slightly puzzled look, gazed at the Krabby, which was significantly smaller than the one described in the introduction.
She couldn't help but chuckle, "Looks like this one's a little underdeveloped~"
"Pfft~ Pfft~!!!"
Upon hearing this, the Krabby immediately stopped in its tracks, staring at Ash as he blew bubbles from his mouth, seemingly somewhat angry.
"Oh? You're really bothered by that? I'm sorry!"
Seeing this, Ash squatted down and looked at the tiny Krabby. He verbally attacked it while recklessly reaching out and rubbing the Krabby.
"Pfft!!!"
The giant crab, having been severely injured, produced even larger bubbles in its mouth and continued to clamp down with its pincers.
next moment.
A flash of white light!
"Ouch!"
Ash was stunned for a moment, his whole body went numb, and then a pain spread throughout his body. His fingers, which he had foolishly rubbed against the Krabby, were now red and swollen from being pinched.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Ash immediately jumped up, clutching his swollen finger and crying out in pain, while also putting distance between himself and Krabby.
Followed by.
A strange yet very familiar background music suddenly started playing on this white cape!
On the beach!
Ash and Krabby!
Standing opposite each other!
A gentle sea breeze was blowing, and the setting sun hung on the sea!
The background music kept playing.
"Pfft!!!"
The Krabby clamped its pincers, spitting out bubbles, its eyes fixed intently on Ash.
"Hey kid, wanna fight?"
Ash smiled and looked at the giant crab, saying, "Alright, small as it may be, you are still a Pokémon!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!—Bang!
As waves crashed against the shore, the familiar background music gradually reached its climax.
Ash and Kingler kept getting closer to each other.
The two gradually approached each other in front of the sea, under the setting sun!
"..."
Ash casually picked up a piece of resin from the beach and swung it at Krabby.
Gold—Gold!
Click!
The giant crab extended its pincers and waved them continuously, clamping down as easily as chopping vegetables, instantly splitting the resin into several pieces!
But, at this very moment...
"Now! Poké Ball!"
Ash seized the opportunity, took out the red and white Poké Balls he had prepared from his Pokémon Belt, and threw them out.
It slammed heavily onto the giant crab's body, and a beam of red light flashed out, enveloping the still-unresponsive crab and taking it inside...
Buzz~buzz~buzz~
The Poké Ball landed on the beach, shaking incessantly, with the button in the middle flashing red light continuously.
"..."
Ash was completely focused, his eyes fixed on the constantly shaking Poké Ball.
Time just passes slowly.
After a while.
Boom!
Finally, before Ash's eyes, the Poké Ball gradually stopped shaking, the red light in the center disappeared, and it emitted a sound that signified capture!
Instantly, Ash's expression changed from tense to beaming with joy. He rushed over, picked up the Poké Ball, held it up, and shouted:
"I've caught a Kingler Crab!"
"Hmm, what a tough opponent!"
Then, Ash held the Poké Ball up to his eyes and said something slightly arrogant, but before he could finish being happy...
A white light suddenly flashed on the Poké Ball, and then, with a "whoosh!" the Poké Ball disappeared from his hand.
"Huh? Huh? My giant claw crab?"
Ash stared blankly at his suddenly empty hand, where the Poké Ball had vanished without a trace.
Then, with a gasp, he immediately searched his entire body and surroundings, finally exclaiming in surprise at his empty hands:
"My Krabby? My Pokémon? It's gone? How did it disappear? What happened?"
"You didn't know about something as simple as 1.6? Xiao Zhi."
Just then, the other two members of Ash's trio, Misty and Brock, arrived and came to Ash's side.
"That's right, under normal circumstances, a Pokémon Trainer can only carry six Pokémon!"
Xiao Gang picked up the conversation, stroking his chin as he continued, "And if you catch more than six Pokémon that are impossible, you have to press the white button on the Pokédex to exchange them with your existing Pokémon!"
.........................................
71. Under the oppressive crimson background music, the first victim, Xiao Zhi (Please subscribe to the full series).
"But I don't want to replace anyone?"
Ash stared at the white button on the Pokédex, then looked at Brock and Misty with a puzzled expression and asked.
"If you don't press the button, the newly caught Pokémon will be teleported away," Misty explained.
"But where exactly did my Krabby get teleported to?" Ash continued, puzzled.
"Of course, it will teleport you to the place where you register and receive your encyclopedia entry," Xiao Gang replied.
"Where do I register and collect my encyclopedia entry..."
Upon hearing this, Ash couldn't help but think of Professor Oak's disrespectful behavior as an old man, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Is it really okay for Krabby to stay with Professor Oak?
Just as this question popped into his mind, Ash's eyes suddenly lit up as he spotted a figure slowly emerging from the forest.
He was immediately filled with excitement, temporarily setting aside the problem, and rushed over, shouting:
"Brother Chi!"
...
...
"..."
Red led Pikachu slowly out of the forest and arrived at the beach, where he immediately saw Ash shouting at him and running towards him.
23 "Brother Chi, it's been a long time. I never expected to run into you here."
Ash rushed to Red's side, grinned foolishly, scratched the back of his head, and spoke with a hint of arrogance.
"...It seems you're doing quite well?"
Red glanced at Ash briefly, sensing a growing aura emanating from him, and nodded slightly in response.
"Ash!" x2
At this moment, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang also ran over and came to Xiaozhi's side.
"Brother Chi, it's been a long time."
Xiaoxia had met and recognized Akane when she was in Viridian City, and greeted her.
"Are you Red? My name is Brock. I often hear Ash mention you."
Xiao Gang sized up Chi Hong and, seeing the aura emanating from him and his calm demeanor, knew that the other party was no ordinary person. He then extended his hand and introduced himself.
"...My name is Crimson."
Chi Hong nodded, extended his hand to shake hands with Xiao Gang, briefly stated his name, and then let go.
"By the way, Brother Chi, I have something to tell you..."
At this moment, Ash suddenly popped out, looking arrogant and self-assured, and pointed at Misty and Brock, saying boastfully:
"Brother Chi, do you know?"
"They are both Gym Leaders! One is the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym in Pewter City, and the other is the Gym Leader of the Cerulean Gym in Cerulean City!"
"However, I defeated them both; they are my defeated opponents, allowing me to easily obtain two gym badges."
"And there's Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, and this is Brother Chi, whom I mentioned before. He's incredibly capable!"
