Chapter 62 Fat Ding, the Hypnotist
After leaving a teleporter in the gym, Ash and Misty left Dark City and arrived in a desert.
"It's so hot, so hot, just kill me..."
Suicune, carrying Ash and Misty on its back, was walking through the scorching desert, and it was wailing in pain again.
Xiaoxia took a bottle of mineral water out of her backpack, opened it skillfully, and poured it on Suicune's head.
"Suicune is a Water-type Pokémon after all. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for it to carry us in the vast desert?"
"Xiaoxia, being too lenient will only allow Suicune to continue being a useless creature. This is retribution for its past indulgences; it needs to make up for it now!"
Under the scorching desert sun, Suicune has to constantly activate its ability to summon the north wind in order to cool down.
This is also a form of training for him.
"Hurry up, Eight Treasure Porridge, run as fast as you can! Running will cool you down!"
"And there's a town not far ahead where you can rest."
"Ha! Ha! Ah—!"
Encouraged by Ash, Suicune unleashed its inner potential and ran forward frantically.
Finally reaching the limit of physical strength, it bursts forth with new power once again under the guidance of willpower.
[Ding! Suicune has learned a new move, Extreme Speed.]
"These are all skills related to escaping, you rascal..."
"Haha, I've learned a new skill! That's great!"
[Ding! Suicune: Affection +2; Intimacy +1]
The skills this guy learned are mostly for escaping.
"Well, it's always good to learn a new skill."
"Come out, Bat-like!"
This was hatched from the Pokémon egg I won when I won the Pokémon race.
Xiao Zhi had been holding it for a long time, but it just wouldn't hatch, and he was worried that something was wrong.
Fortunately, it finally hatched yesterday.
And what hatched was a pink Zubat.
"We got the hidden item!"
Xiao Zhi was overjoyed and named the child on the spot.
"From now on, you'll be called Bat-League, Zubat!"
Good fortune benefits the foundation, that's right.
Anyway, Zubat really likes the name Ash gave it.
Every time Ash calls Bumblebee, it responds happily.
The main reason for releasing it this time is to test out the new skills that Suicune has learned.
This thing can only fight against newborn babies.
"The Eight Treasure Porridge uses lightning speed to rush towards the bat's niche."
"Batley, let's not dodge. Let's use our charge to feel the power of divine speed."
As Ash gave the command, both Pokémon used their moves and collided at the same time.
For a time, the situation was extremely tense and it was difficult to determine who was better.
Ultimately, Suicune's stamina was slightly inferior, allowing Suicune to gain the upper hand.
"Whew~ What an exhilarating and thrilling match!"
boom! boom! boom!
"You're on par with a newly hatched Zubat, what are you so surprised about!"
Ash had Suicune use Extreme Speed again, but this time he channeled the Aura into Suicune's body beforehand.
Sure enough, with the help of Ash's Aura, the power of Extreme Speed was greatly enhanced.
Its attack was no longer weak and feeble as before, but instead carved a long trench in the sand with tremendous speed.
It just seems a bit too fast.
"Ah, help! Help! I can't stop!"
With a thud, Suicune successfully crashed into a rock in the desert.
However, there is at least one piece of good news: as long as Ash's Aura power helps, Suicune's moves will be improved.
Not only the water cannon skill, but other skills as well.
Moreover, the more wave power is infused, the greater the skill's power.
It seems like Suicune's chakra consumption is a bit too high.
"It should be possible to make up for it with increased proficiency."
After taking the wrecked dog off the rock, we continued on our way for a short distance.
Ash and his friends then saw the destination of this short journey.
"We've finally arrived in Neon Town! I need to take a shower right away!"
Excited, Xiaoxia rushed straight down the mountain to the brightly lit, neon-lit town.
------------
However, Ash and his friends noticed something was wrong as soon as they arrived in the town.
The streets were filled with "corpses".
The entire town's inhabitants lay sprawled on the ground.
Several people even lay down at the automatic sensor doors at the store entrance, being repeatedly slammed by the doors.
"Is this the scene of some kind of murder?"
It was too dangerous to leave them there, so Xiaozhi had no choice but to move the people lying on the street to a safe location.
When Ash picked up the "corpses" on the ground, he examined them carefully.
"These people are all asleep, and they're sleeping so soundly."
It seems like the entire town has been wiped out. What on earth happened?
Suddenly, a melodious singing voice drifted over.
"This singing voice sounds like... pudding."
"Pikachu~"
Before they could finish speaking, Xiaoxia and Pikachu suddenly closed their eyes and collapsed.
He quickly hugged them both, but Xiao Zhi suddenly realized that his eyelids were also starting to feel heavy.
"The power of this singing is incredible!"
Ash quickly activated his aura to keep his mind clear, and with his companion in tow, he followed the sound of the song to find his way back.
The sound originated in a small garden in the town.
The one that keeps singing is a round, chubby little Pokémon.
It was holding something that looked like a microphone or a marker and singing loudly.
"That powerful singing voice could hypnotize the entire town..."
Take out the encyclopedia and scan it.
"Jigglypuff, the balloon Pokémon. It lures opponents closer with its big, round eyes and sings a refreshing song."
"It really is Jigglypuff."
At this moment, the little ball realized that someone was still awake and began to wave excitedly at Ash.
"Pudding, pudding!"
[Ding! New side quest triggered: The Fat Boy Who Mastered Hypnosis: Please listen to a song by Fatty Ding in its entirety]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +800; Stamina +2; Free Attribute Points +2]
This chubby guy's hypnotic abilities are so strong that everyone in the town is hypnotized and falls asleep to his singing.
"You have extraordinary talent, I like you very much!"
Jigglypuff is more than 10 times better at putting people to sleep than Dream Eater.
Of course, the hypnotic ability of the Dream Eater is not only to put people to sleep, but also has other amazing functions.
Ash will never let a rare Pokémon slip by.
"Don't move, come with me, I'll take you to a nice place."
With a creepy expression, Ash slowly approached Jigglypuff.
Although this Jigglypuff was agile, it was no match for Ash and was quickly grabbed by his claw.
But it kept waving the little microphone in its hand in protest.
"Pudding, pudding!"
"What, you want me to hear you sing first?"
"Alright, since it's your request, I'll take on the challenge. But if I listen to the whole song, you'll have to be my Pokémon."
Patting his chest, Fatty Ding agreed and began to sing.
It has to be said that this Jigglypuff's singing is almost a conceptual divine skill.
Even someone as strong as Xiaozhi is finding it hard to hold on.
He could only frantically mobilize his waveguide power to stay awake, and even then he almost fell asleep at the last moment.
"Pudding~ Ding!"
Pop, pop, pop!
"It sounds great, it sounds great!"
After the song was finished, they realized that Ash was still awake, and Jigglypuff jumped around excitedly.
It hugged Xiaozhi's arm and rubbed its face against him like crazy.
This is the first time in a long time that Jigglypuff has heard it finish singing, and I'm overjoyed.
[Ding! Jigglypuff: Affection +10]
[Complete the side quest and receive the following rewards: Alliance Coins +800; Stamina +2; Free Attribute Points +2]
With his eyes bloodshot, Ash took out a Poké Ball, and this time Jigglypuff readily and willingly went inside.
"Alright, I've caught Jigglypuff!"
After washing his face to clear his head, Ash was surprised to find that his Aura had actually increased.
"It seems that he has been trained in resisting hypnosis."
But then, the chubby guy, who had just scored a goal, suddenly came out again.
"Um, what are you going to do?"
Fatty took out his microphone, pulled out the green microphone head, and inside was indeed a marker.
Then, at lightning speed, they covered the faces of the sleeping people in the town with mischievous graffiti.
"What kind of weird quirk is this?"
To avoid trouble, Ash quickly recalled Jigglypuff into its Poké Ball, picked up Misty and Pikachu, and ran towards the nearby town.
