"Hey, put your Pikachu away!" Green frowned. The guy in front of her was handsome, but his brain seemed to be malfunctioning.
"Sorry, my Pikachu doesn't like being in its Poké Ball."
Seeing a river below, Ash gave her an apologetic smile: "It was nice to meet you, beautiful girl. I won't trouble you any longer!"
With that, he let go of the hand she was holding.
"Huh?! What are you doing!" Seeing this, Green panicked and dived forward, grabbing Ash's arm. But as a result, Wigglytuff was completely at its limit. The two people and two Pokémon fell straight from the sky.
"You've gotten me into a lot of trouble!" Green said with a look of disgust.
In her stunned gaze, Ash pulled her into his arms. He adjusted their position in mid-air so that he was below her and smiled faintly: "The little green Wartortle is pretty cute..."
Hearing that, the expression on Green's face froze. Was that the pattern on her underwear...? Thinking about their position in the air just now... Damn it, he saw everything...
"Splash!"
Before she could think any more, the two of them slammed into the cold river water. Ash instinctively protected Pikachu and Green in his arms and then lost consciousness.
After the high-intensity running and continuous attacks from dozens of Fearow, Ash was already at his limit. Now, he had also endured the impact of a high-altitude fall.
If he wasn't a "Super Pallet Towner," he would have died.
"Ugh..." Green swallowed a mouthful of water. She tried to swim up, but Ash was too heavy. At the same time, her waist was tightly held by him, so she could only be dragged downstream.
"I must have owed him in a past life..." Before she lost consciousness, Green couldn't help but complain to herself.
"Alright! Today, I'm definitely going to catch a rare Water-type Pokémon!"
By the river, a beautiful girl with her hair tied up in a ponytail was waiting for a fish to bite.
It was the original female protagonist, Misty.
Misty's emerald eyes were full of anticipation as she looked at the water. Finally, bubbles appeared below her fishing rod, and the float quickly sank!
"Now's my chance!"
"Splash..." With a strong pull from Misty, two living things shot out of the water.
It was Ash and Green.
At this moment, the two of them were holding each other tightly, with a Pikachu wedged between them.
"What the heck... it's two people..." Misty looked at them: "Did they jump into the river together?"
Just as she was about to imagine a dramatic love story in her head...
"Ugh... bleh! Cough, cough..." Ash spit a mouthful of water onto Misty's face and started coughing violently.
"Ugh! What the-..." Just as she was about to get angry, Misty got a clear look at Ash's face, and the cross on her forehead quickly disappeared: "He's... quite handsome...?"
But Ash didn't seem to notice the face-loving Misty. He shook the Green in his arms: "How are you? Wake up!"
Green slowly woke up. She looked at the delicate face so close to hers and said a little unnaturally: "I'm fine... but, how long are you going to keep pinching me...?"
Because her long dress was soaking wet, it was clinging to her body. The two "buns" on her chest were completely exposed. One of them was being firmly grasped by Ash. Judging by its size, it was at least a D-cup.
Misty was stunned. She couldn't help but look down at her own feet.
What is this weird feeling of inferiority...?
"Ah... sorry, sorry..." Ash was a little embarrassed and quickly let go.
But Green leaned close to his ear: "Did it feel good?"
"..." Ash was stunned. He used Harden almost instinctively.
As if sensing his reaction, Green gave a seductive smile: "Handsome~ you should check on your Pikachu."
Ash shook the little mouse in his arms: "Pikachu? How are you?"
"Pika..." Hearing Ash's voice, Pikachu made an unconscious sound, but it was very weak. Its face was already red, a clear sign of a fever.
"...No, the injury is too serious. We have to get to a Pokémon Center as soon as possible."
Green, who was wringing out her wet socks, immediately lit up: "No need, no need. I have all sorts of items here~"
With that, she took things out of her waist pouch: "Here's a Potion, a Super Potion, and a Full Restore."
Ash's eyes were unconsciously drawn to her exposed feet. If she were to wear sheer black stockings on these beautiful feet... hiss...
While he was thinking, Green had already piled the medicines in front of him and held out her hand: "That'll be 8,000 yen~"
Ash's mouth twitched. He said a little awkwardly: "I don't have any money!"
He was just a commoner with less than 1,000 yen to his name. He hadn't even saved up the 3,000 yen to buy a second Poké Ball. He couldn't let Green rip him off.
"Oh, really..." Green pouted.
Misty, who was watching from the side, couldn't take it anymore: "What the heck? Aren't you two a couple? Why are you being so stingy about money?!"
With that, she grabbed the most expensive Full Restore and sprayed it on Pikachu: "The injury is more important! This one's on me!"
Ash finally noticed the girl with bare legs beside him.
Her orange hair was tied up in a ponytail on one side. It shimmered with a warm glow in the sunlight. Her bright yellow tank top and ultra-short denim shorts exposed her slender waist and long, jade-like legs. She was the very definition of youthful and beautiful.
The only flaw was her undeveloped chest. Well, there's still a lot of room for improvement...
"Hey, hey! Who's his girlfriend...? And you have to pay for this medicine first!"
Misty threw her money bag at her impatiently: "Take it!"
"It seems being handsome has its benefits. He's already being taken care of by a rich girl on his first day" Green giggled and then waved her hand: "I'm going now!"
"Hey, I'm Ash from Pallet Town. I don't know your name yet?" Ash called out, pretending not to know.
"My name is Green... Make sure you remember it~"
Green looked back and gave a playful smile before walking away.
Just then, Ayumi ran over from a distance.
The two girls passed each other, both feeling like the other was familiar. They glanced at each other and then went their separate ways.
"Ash, are you okay!" The girl's eyes were filled with worry.
"Yeah! Thanks to Pikachu... I also saw a legendary Pokémon, a colorful big bird! It's the Ho-Oh that Professor Oak talked about."
From a distance, Green's footsteps paused. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
"Honestly, you always do something reckless! I'm going to tell Auntie Delia!"
Ayumi pouted. She was truly terrified this time. She hated that deep feeling of powerlessness.
"Don't! I'm fine..." Ash waved his hands repeatedly. Delia was his weakness.
"Hehe, that depends on my mood~" With that, Ayumi took the sleeping Pidgeotto out of her bag: "It ate some berries and fell asleep. It looks like it won't leave until it sees you."
Ash smiled faintly and stroked Pidgeotto's head crest: "I think it will be a reliable partner."
"Hey, Pikachu doesn't look so good," Misty reminded them.
"Huh?" Ash was shocked. He had just realized that the medicine didn't work at all, and Pikachu's condition was getting worse!
His face turned grim: "I'm afraid... Green gave us fake medicine."
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Green also sold some fake items to Red and even took his Gym Badges.
"What?! Damn it... and I paid for it..." Misty pouted, a little angry.
Ayumi: "There's no time to waste. We have to get to a Pokémon Center!"
"Let's go to Viridian City. My bike will be faster," Misty said, pointing at the bike on the side of the road.
Ash quickly treated Pikachu's wounds with Ayumi's Potion and then jumped on the bike: "You two get on!"
"?" Misty was stunned: "You're not going to carry both of us, are you?"
"Don't worry, I'm the bike god of Mt. Akina!" With that, Ash put Ayumi on the front bar and gestured for Misty to sit on the back: "Are you ready?"
"Is there anything to get ready for?" Before Misty could even ask, the bicycle shot off like a rocket.
