Chapter 251 A Pokémon Lecture That Started Late
"Ugh!! Seriously! It's all Ash's fault for being so slow! We're already late!!!"
The next day.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Ash and his friends were running along the mountain path when Dawn's slightly desperate voice echoed from the forest.
"What can I do? If anything, Scorpio King should be in the wrong!"
"GLI!!!"
Ash responded with such dissatisfaction, while turning around to look at Gliscor, who was still hopping and skipping behind them, trying to catch up.
Yesterday, when they were setting up camp, a Grimer led a group to attack their camp. Dawn took down the leader of the Grimer, and the Grimer surrounding Ash's camp were also successfully defeated by Gliscor.
Gliscor's aversion to, or rather its tendency to avoid, battles was resolved in this fight. Seeing this, Ash gave Gliscor Sharp Fang that very night, allowing it to successfully evolve into Gliscor.
Although the evolved Scorpion King still has a tendency to cry, its confidence is much stronger than before, if only it hadn't become so overconfident that it insisted on walking alongside them the whole way...
"So why do you have to walk like this?! Get back in your Poké Ball! We're going to be late! Ugh... Aren't you going to wait for me?!"
After being delayed for so long, Dawn, Brock, and even Pikachu lost their patience and left the scene, heading ahead towards the Pokémon lecture venue, leaving Ash and Gliscor to dawdle slowly behind.
"GLI~~~" (I want to get familiar with this new power~~~)
"That's not exactly familiar!!!"
In the mountains and forests, Xiao Zhi's helpless voice echoed.
......
"..."
"..."
Inside a building in the mountains, Professor Yamanashi was staring at Ash, who had just arrived, with a stern face.
Because Professor Yamanashi always has such a serious expression in front of the public, the trainers attending the lecture or those aspiring to become trainers were unsure whether Professor Yamanashi was angry at the moment.
But... after all, I was late on the first day, and by 20 minutes at that. It's not realistic to say I wasn't angry.
"Alright, it seems you have your reasons. I'll forgive you this time, just be more careful next time."
"Yes... I'm sorry..."
Ash felt a little embarrassed that Professor Yamanashi had let him off so easily. He had already thought about how he should apologize, but now it seemed that he didn't need to.
After recalling the Gliscor that was panting heavily behind him, Ash walked over to Brock and Dawn and stared intently at them.
"Well... how should I put it... there's not much we can do about it, is it? It's better for one person to be late than for three people to be late?"
"Pikachu~~"
Feeling embarrassed by Ash's gaze, the three of them patted the back of their heads.
While companions should ideally be on the same page at all times, the situation of being late is somewhat awkward, since it's not a dangerous or serious matter. So, it shouldn't be a problem for them to leave first.
"Um... I'll explain the more detailed rules to you later. Also, here's your Poké Ball. Professor Yamanashi asked us to practice against random Pokémon today..."
As Xiao Guang said this, he handed a Poké Ball to Xiao Zhi and continued:
"Also, the three of us have been assigned to the Red Team. All the participants in the summer lectures are already over there interacting with Pokémon in the open area. Ash, you'd better go there early too. I'm off now!"
"Well... I'll go first..."
As they talked, Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang left one after the other, leaving only Pikachu giving Xiao Zhi an awkward smile.
If it weren't for Pokémon, Pikachu would probably leave by now, since Ash's resentful gaze is really hard to bear.
"Sigh, never mind..."
Seeing Pikachu's embarrassed expression, Ash sighed helplessly.
Ultimately, he couldn't bring himself to recall Gliscor. This guy had indeed been a bit too excited these past two days. After all, it was his first time experiencing a real Pokémon battle, and he was fighting five against one. His consciousness was elevated during the battle, and his strength was further enhanced that night.
It seems to have grown too much in just one day. If Ash had known that Gliscor would become so excited, he would have chosen to wait two days before letting it evolve.
Really...
"Ah~! You're finally here! I thought you'd come here too! But you're late! I've been waiting for so long, I almost thought you weren't coming! You're going to be fined! Fine!"
"???"
Hearing the voice coming from behind him, a figure naturally came to mind.
"You are--"
"Skin?"
