Chapter 72 - Chapter 72 Change

After leaving Saffron City, Ash and his group were on the road to Celadon City. Right now, however, it was lunchtime.

Sizzle!

Accompanied by a rich aroma, Ash and Brock were continuously stir-frying dishes under Misty's awestruck gaze. Misty could only marvel at how great it was to travel with two people who knew how to cook.

Once Ash and Brock finished cooking, Misty had already prepared the bowls and chopsticks. The three of them and their group of Pokémon sat down and comfortably enjoyed their lunch. During this time, Ash continuously explained how to cook to suit the Pokémon's tastes.

"Brock, for your Rock-type Pokémon, you should actually prepare more special stones for them. This is very beneficial for their growth. As for you, Misty, you need to pay attention to the water your Water-type Pokémon drink daily. High-quality water allows them to grow better. They told me this themselves."

Meowth, sitting to the side, picked up a fish for himself and said while eating, "Yeah, to be honest, although Pokémon food is not bad, if you want to satisfy your Pokémon more, you need to pay closer attention yourselves, meow."

"Pika pi." Pikachu nodded while hugging his beloved ketchup.

Misty replied, "I see. Then I'll buy some good quality water when we get the chance."

While Ash and the others were chatting happily, a Mankey ran over, following the aroma. It drooled continuously while staring at their food. Seeing Mankey's eager gaze, Ash considerately handed it a portion.

"Here, eat some if you're hungry."

"Mankey!" Seeing Ash being so nice, Mankey happily took the food and sat to the side to eat.

"Pikachu." Looking at Mankey, Pikachu suddenly let out a sigh, recalling how back in Pallet Town, was this how Nidoking and the others used to mooch food when they were still Nidoran?

After Ash and his group finished eating, they said goodbye to Mankey. Seeing them preparing to leave, Mankey also waved to see them off.

"Twerp, we finally found you!"

As the Team Rocket trio once again blocked Ash's group, the three humans, along with Pikachu, Meowth, and Chansey, looked helplessly at these three stooges.

"It's you guys. So what do you want this time?"

"Do you even need to ask, meow? To snatch your Pikachu, of course, meow!"

"Oh. Actually, I personally think a talking Pokémon like you, Meowth, is much more sought after. Look at my Meowth, isn't he very popular with the professors?"

Hearing Ash say this, Jessie and James suddenly realized something.

Jessie: "Now that the twerp mentions it..."

James: "It seems that really is the case."

Meowth looked at his two companions who had been led astray and directly bared his claws.

"You two idiots, meow!"

Scratch!

"Waaaahhh!!!!" x2

Accompanied by Jessie and James's screams, Meowth said impatiently, "The twerp is just stalling for time."

Watching these three, Ash helplessly pulled out a Luxury Ball, ready to send them blasting off. However, the Mankey from earlier ran out and stood in front of Ash's group, glaring angrily at Meowth and the others.

"Hmm? Mankey, what are you doing?"

"Mankey! Mankey!" Mankey looked at Ash's group and gestured for them to step back.

"Boss, he says this is to repay your kindness from earlier."

"Oh? Is that so? Then I'll leave it to you, Mankey." Understanding that this was Mankey returning the favor, Ash didn't stop it and handed the stage over to Mankey to handle.

Misty, however, asked with some concern, "Will it be okay, Ash? Can Mankey beat Team Rocket?"

Ash smiled and said, "Why do you think Mankey wants to repay the favor? I added something extra to its food earlier. Usually, Mankeys move in groups, but this one is different. It's very strong, which is why it dares to travel alone. And I merely helped it break through to the next level just now. Mankey, evolve!"

"Mankey!!"

Hearing Ash's words, Mankey's body emitted the light of evolution. Subsequently, Mankey evolved into Primeape.

"Roar! Roar!"

The evolved Primeape glared fiercely at Team Rocket, and Team Rocket also sensed that things had taken a turn for the worse.

Jessie: "I have a feeling..."

James: "We're going to get a beating..."

"Roar! Roar!"

While the two were talking, Primeape had already charged forward. It then landed a punch right on Jessie's face. Accompanied by a strong gust of wind, Jessie flew backward and her head smashed into a rock.

"Whoaaa!!!" x2

James and Meowth were scared silly, and even Ash couldn't bear it and turned his head away. "My god! That's too cruel! A woman's face is her life! Come, Misty, step back a bit. It's going to be chaotic next."

"O-Oh, okay." Misty was also shocked by the scene, thinking about what would happen if that punch landed on her face. Just the thought of it made her shudder.

Brock, meanwhile, looked at Ash speechlessly. He thought to himself that he also took great care of women, so why didn't any women like him?

And just as Ash had expected, an unprecedented brawl began very quickly. Jessie, enraged because her face was hit, directly ordered Ekans and Koffing to attack together while she herself also charged forward. James and Meowth also joined the fray.

Watching this chaotic brawl, Ash continuously cheered and offered support from the sidelines.

"Primeape, on the left! Right! Give him an uppercut! Perfect! Koffing is sneaking up on the right, make sure to dodge! Beautiful!"

Primeape already loved fighting in groups back when it was a Mankey, and now, with Ash's flawless reminders from the sidelines, Primeape fought with even more joy.

"Primeape, seize the chance! Send them flying with a flurry of punches!"

"Roar!"

Hearing Ash's suggestion, a glint passed through Primeape's eyes. It then unleashed a brutal beatdown, directly knocking the Team Rocket trio into the sky.

"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again~!" x3

"Beautifully done, Primeape." Ash felt very refreshed watching the three of them fly into the sky. Primeape also nodded, in a great mood.

"How about it? Primeape, do you want to travel with me?"

"Roar?" Hearing Ash's words, Primeape froze for a moment, then assumed a battle stance.

Ash waved his hand and said, "Hold on a second. You aren't going to fight while injured, are you? How about we heal you up first before we fight?"

"Roar!" Hearing Ash's proposal, Primeape nodded and subsequently accepted Ash's treatment. After the healing was done, Ash threw his Luxury Ball.

"Come on out, Squirtle."

Squirtle came out and paused for a moment when it saw Primeape, but quickly assumed a battle stance.

"Squirtle, take a deep breath and get into your stance."

Hearing Ash's words, Squirtle immediately took a deep breath. Subsequently, under the astonished gazes of Primeape, Misty, and Brock, Squirtle's aura changed completely...
