After seeing Erika off, Ash asked Misty about their situation.
It turned out that after encountering the enraged Gyarados, Ayumi and Misty were in danger. Although Staryu and Eevee fought back fiercely, they couldn't stop Gyarados's attacks.
At a critical moment, Staryu evolved into Starmie and defeated Gyarados with its newly learned Psybeam.
After the victory, Misty also overcame her fear of Gyarados and released it back into the river.
Afterward, the two of them took care of all the injured Pokémon in the area. During this time, Ayumi also caught a Marill, taking a solid step on her path to becoming a Cute-type Pokémon Master.
Marill's Status
Marill Lv. 12 (Junior)
Ability: Huge Power (Naturally very strong, its Attack is doubled)
Description: A descendant of the Dragon Slayer. Tremble, Dragon-types!
Ash only glanced at it and then looked away. He would just get jealous if he looked for too long.
He couldn't help it. The people around him were either protagonists from an anime, a game, or a manga. They all had auras and were like cheaters.
That said, it seemed unnecessary to worry about these girls' safety.
"Speaking of which, Green, why are you here?" Ash asked while using medicine to heal Pidgeotto and Pikachu.
Although using his technique might be faster, he decided against it since he hadn't mastered the aphrodisiac effect yet.
He was afraid he might wake up one morning and find some Pokémon "playing with his little brother" in his bed.
"Well... hahaha, would you believe me if I said I just happened to be passing by?" Green said, twirling her long hair around her finger and kicking her little boots.
Ayumi pouted: "I kick my feet like that when I lie too~"
Seeing Ash and Misty's suspicious gazes, Green stopped pretending: "Okay, fine. I'm actually very interested in Ash."
Misty and Ayumi's gazes towards Green immediately changed, mixed with an imperceptible hostility.
"Me?" Ash was stunned, and he thought about the timing of Green's appearance.
It seemed that she must have seen Ho-Oh and wanted to get some information from him.
"Hahaha, just kidding. I really was just passing by."
Green laughed it off to lighten the mood, but her eyes still lingered on Ash.
"Maybe I know something about what you're looking for..." After thinking for a moment, Ash went over to her and whispered.
Green's heart skipped a beat. She gave him a deep look.
At night, the group found a clearing in the forest to rest.
Misty went fishing, Ayumi collected firewood, Green started the fire, and Ash cooked. The four of them had a clear division of labor, and in a short time, a delicious all-fish feast was ready.
Fresh fish soup, sashimi, honey-glazed grilled fish, and some dry food made for a good experience.
Since they had sprayed bug repellent in advance, no wild Pokémon came to bother them.
After dinner, the three girls talked about girl stuff, and Ash went to the tent and released Eevee.
"Eevee~" As soon as it appeared, the little fox rubbed against his arms.
Eevee's Status
Affection: 200/255
This was an incredibly high number.
Pikachu and Pidgeotto had an affection of close to 200 because he saved them in critical moments, but how did Eevee have so much from the start?
Ash looked at the Eevee that was constantly rubbing against him, as if it wanted to go between his legs.
He... didn't catch a "fox spirit," did he?
Moreover, after being caught, Eevee didn't seem to suffer from the pain of genetic chain collapse anymore.
The only problem might be that it was a little too clingy?
Or to be more precise, it wanted to be intimate with its owner?
Ash shook his head and prepared a comprehensive Pokémon meal for Eevee. After seeing it obediently eat, he opened the system:
Ding, the main quest, "Gym Challenge," has been completed. You have received a mysterious gift package! A new main quest has been issued...
Main Quest: Kanto Bully
Kanto is my territory!
Requirement: Challenge the eight Gyms in Kanto and get the approval of the Gym Leaders and the Gym Badges.
Reward: After challenging each Gym, one of your Pokémon will receive a randomly-matched TM. After getting all eight Badges, you will receive a mysterious gift package. The quality will be determined by how well you completed the quest.
Ash also clicked on the Achievement Points:
Lifetime Master's Path - Stage 3: 39/100
He had been checking this number every day. Based on his speculation, as long as he could make someone feel a certain level of recognition for him, he could get 1 Achievement Point, and each person could be used to get points repeatedly.
A Pokémon's affection and recognition could also increase Achievement Points. However, regular affection wouldn't increase it. For example, Pikachu liked Ash all the time.
But if something happened that made Pikachu's emotions fluctuate and it liked him even more, he would get an Achievement Point.
In short, there were many ways to get them. The most frequent way for Ash to get them right now was... cooking.
That's right. Every time he cooked for the girls, they all recognized him.
This was how Ash was able to increase his Achievement Points so quickly.
Of course, even with this, the speed was still very slow. It was clear that each stage of this achievement was a tenfold increase. In the later stages, he would probably need thousands of Achievement Points.
This was also why Ash continued to train himself.
If he could become a Regional Elite Four, a Champion, or even a Pokémon Master, reaching a level where everyone in the world knew him, he would probably have more Achievement Points than he could use just by posting on social media every day.
While thinking, Ash opened the gift package.
Ding, you have opened a mysterious gift package and received 6 Legendary Pokémon Essences!
Legendary Pokémon Essence: A life essence that contains Legendary-level energy.
Effect: After a Pokémon consumes it, it can unleash one of its moves at the normal power of a selected Legendary Pokémon. It will also permanently increase the Pokémon's ability to learn moves of that type and automatically complete the move's genetic sequence.
Restriction: Can only be used by non-Legendary Pokémon. Each Pokémon can only use it once. No side effects.
"!!!" A Legendary Pokémon?
Ash reread the effect, and his heart beat even faster.
In short, this item would allow him to "summon a Legendary Pokémon" six times.
It would also improve the Pokémon's understanding of the corresponding type. For example, Pikachu could take a Zekrom's essence, and learning Electric-type moves would be as easy as eating and drinking.
In short, it was incredible.
Ash carefully put the six crystal-clear light clusters into his bag.
This item could be used as a trump card, and it could also improve a Pokémon's potential. It was really a great item.
While Ash was thinking, in a different part of the forest, in a pond, Sabrina was still comforting herself. She had been there all afternoon.
Today, when Ash was rubbing against her, she felt an extreme pleasure.
It was a confusing feeling, like she wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
After leaving, the True Energy in her body was still taking effect. To deal with this, she could only use her fingers.
As expected, the pleasurable feeling returned, and she closed her eyes to explore and feel.
Her body was constantly getting hotter, releasing fluid, trembling, and spasming.
And then, she would start a new round.
Later, Sabrina was no longer satisfied with just her fingers. She started to add new variables.
For example, she would think of Ash while touching herself or condense her psychic ability into his shape and rub against it.
"Mmm..." It wasn't until night fell that she slowly recovered from that intoxicated state.
"Splash..." She stood up from the pond. Crystal-clear water droplets rolled down her silky skin. Her waist-length hair was stuck between her waist and hips, barely covering her mysterious "valley."
The next moment, a terrifying psychic wave spread out again. A huge vortex slowly formed in the pond, condensing into a spiral that slowly lifted Sabrina up.
"Bang!" The water column exploded, and Sabrina had already evaporated all the moisture on her body and changed into a new outfit.
Her dark red, tight-fitting top barely covered her round, perky butt. Her bottom half was a pair of sexy, semi-transparent black leggings and red, high-heeled mid-boots, which accentuated her most prominent feature: her smooth and long, beautiful legs.
Her red eyes slowly opened: "I can't believe... my psychic ability has broken through?"
She murmured in a cold voice... Unconsciously, a delicate face flashed through her mind, and a small curve formed on the corner of Sabrina's mouth.
"Was it because of you?"
