Pokemon: Bond Evolutions of Pokémon

Chapter 298: 298. Feebas



Ash never really would have thought that the Master Ball, which was extremely precious in this real world with only 10 or so ever made (he learned this through Professor Oak), would now be in his hands because of a Great Ball. As someone who had the dream to become the Pokémon Master in the future, how could he not enjoy the Master Ball in his hand?

Originally, when Sullivan took out the Master Ball, Ash did not have the idea of just taking it for himself, as it really wasn't his.

And after all, it belonged to someone who had dedicated themselves to accomplishing this very dream for over 50 years. Who was he ti just take it from them?

But Sullivan ultimate failed to catch his dream, and the Master Ball was eaten by it.

At this time, Ash took the Master Ball back into his hands and used one of the Great Balls from his collection to catch this infamous century-old Whiscash. Of course, Sullivan was not one of those people who would refuse such an exchange.

He happily handed over the ownership of Master Ball to Ash's care, feeling very happy holding the new Great Ball.

And Ash's harvest in this lake was not even over yet.

Not far away from where he was, the Rocket Trio were also doing some fishing for themselves, and they were now riding on an old and rusty looking speedboat that they found in the middle of the forest which they than fixed up.

They have been following Ash for some time now, making a lot of money from the various ventures that they encountered along the way, and paying off part of the debt owed to their organization. During this time, they have been quite peaceful, so Ash ignores them and just pays them when they give him some useful information.

The bait they were now using was the hard earned rare bottle caps collected by James over the years. But how could they catch things with these?

"It's impossible to catch anything with these useless things!" Jessie pulled up her old looking Fishing Rod, then looking down at the shabby 14-year-old bottle cap, and complained boredly but angrily.

"Oh, Jessie, we took the opportunity to take a day off while boss Ash was also resting, so let's just enjoy our hard earned free leisure time, meow." Meowth, felling that his life has been going well recently after following Ash's commands, was now very satisfied with this new life of his.

Suddenly, Jessie felt a strong pulling force on her long pink hair behind her, almost pulling her down into the water.

"James, Meowth, come and help me!"

With their help, Jessie was able to escape from that grasp, and at that moment, she actually caught a rare Feebas with her long hair.

"This looks like Feebas, mean!" Meowth recognized the Pokémon's identity after thinking for a few seconds.

"What kind of trouble is this ugly thing going to do my perfect preety hair!" Jessie glanced at it with a newfound disgust and bought it back into the lake with a snap of her fingers.

But not long after she sat down to continue her fishing venture, that same Feebas bit her hair again and this time actually pulled her into the cold water.

"Jessie!" James and Meowth rushed to the rescue, and the frantic movement and noise from their side finally attracted Ash's attention.

Ash put away his new Master Ball in his protective bag and rushed over there while footing, and saw that what was hanging on Jessie's hair was exactly his target.

With a flash of pink light, Feebas was pulled in front of him into the air, and Jessie was also rescued by him.

"Thanks, bye! See you kit soon!"

With that said, Ash turned around and flew away with his new Feebas, without giving the Rocket trio a chance to react!

"That Feebas was taken away by boss Ash, meow!" Meowth looked at Ash's flying retreating back and seemed to remember something about something else that was important.

"I knew I forgot something important! That Feebas is the same one that will eventually evolve into that beautiful Milotic we saw in that Pokémon Contest from Slateport City!" James flipped through the all the Pokémon cards he collected and finally connected that Feebas evolves into the beautiful Milotic.

"What did you just say now, James? A Milotic? My Milotic?" Hearing this, Jessie immediately fluttered up, "The most beautiful Pokémon in the world is evolved from that ugly looking fish?"

Thinking that "her" future Milotic was actually taken away by Ash just now, Jessie was so angry that she gritted her teeth like nails scratching off a blackboard and said, "Damn it, so what if it's our little boss, James, Meowth, our new target is snatching that Feebas and Pikachu, let's start our operation!"

Still unchanged as ever before, the Rocket Trio were still following Ash and his party.

"Ash, what Pokémon did you bring back this time?" Seeing that Ash coming back with a new Pokémon, May and the other three hurriedly gathered around them.

Sullivan had already left with satisfaction, is he didn't get to see Ash flying around.

"May, it's a Feebas!" Max recognized this infamous Pokémon at a glance.

"Really now, it doesn't look that good."

May didn't know that just now she had a 140 points of compatibility with this Feebas, but with this sentence alone, it dropped to just a pitiful 10 points.

"May, Feebas evolves into the same Milotic that you have always wanted to catch." Max reminded May again.

After all, no one with a decent eye can associate the ugly looking fish, Feebas, will evolve into the beautiful and serpentine looking Milotic. The only way they could know about this is if they had already known about this from a different source.

"What?" May's expression suddenly brightened up, her eyes sparkling, "Love, can you give me this Feebas? Preety please!"

However, Ash jsut shook his head and refused on the spot.

The compatibility between the two was almost at a freezing point with 5, and there was no way for her to train Feebas from this stage. When she said about Feebas looking very ugly, it was already set in stone that it can't be changed anymore.

And Ash's compatibility with this Feebas was also higher than it initially had with May, now it had reached 160, which was not low by any stretch of the imagination.

This Feebas didn't seem to be doing well in this lake full of wild Whiscash's. She also had no fighting ability and looked a little too thin for her own good.

But this does not stop her from having a heart that yearns for more beauty, and this was why she bit Jessie's hair several times before. It was precisely because she felts that a beautiful person like Jessie can make herself beautiful, so she turned to her for help.

And from this moment onwards, she slowly begin to pin her beautiful dreams on Ash, the compatibility between them was constantly improving because of this fact.

"Ohh..." May said in a little frustrated voice while looking a bit dejected.

Ash took out a new red Poké Ball without explaining anything further, "I will teleport you back first to the Lab. Slowking will take good care of you there under the clear instructions I will give to him, so enjoy your time there. You need to take good care of yourself first and become more healthy and happy. I will train you to be the most beautiful Milotic in the world when you are ready! You got it, buddy?"

Feebas' somewhat dull eyes suddenly flashed with light, and she nodded fiercely. With Ash's Psychic, she flew forward and hit her head on Ash's new Poké Ball!

"I just caught a Feebas!"

Ash did his signature catching pose with Pikachu and Ralts on his shoulders while Togetic was on his head. It felt like a while since he last did it, but he did the same thing when he caught his Duskull not long ago.

Feebas: 165/170

After leaving the lake area, Ash and his party quickly arrived at one of the towns near here, Rubello Town.

He temporarily teleported his Feebas back and gave it to Slowking to take care of under his clear instructions. Ash believe that with his help, Feebas will have a stronger body soon and than he can lay the solid foundation for her future evolution.

There are two ways for Feebas to evolve into a Milotic. First was the need to increasin a hidden part of a Pokémon called Beauty, which was related to the Pokémon condition and how they looked as the name states. It requires specific Berries to make Pokéblocks and other things to slowly improve it.

These Pokéblocks were a little different from the food that he usually gives to his own Pokémon's.

When Feebas' beauty reaches a certain stage, they will evolve into the beautiful Milotic.

This was the favorite and most wanted Pokémon of any Pokémon's Coordinators, but it takes a lot of effort to evolve it from a Feebas. Not to mention how obnoxiously rare they were in the wild, even in places where they could be found more like swamps, they are extremely difficult to see and find.

Of course, for Ash, the evolution part of Feebas was not that troublesome. There was also an evolution item that is not found in this world that is exclusive to Feebas, called the Prism Scale.

This thing was impossible to find in his world, but it is extremely simple for Ash to get his hands on it.

Ash had a System, as simple as that. Except for items related to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon's that he can't exchange them with his Exchange Points, he can exchange for most of the items in this world. Although the highest level of the Prism Scale was quite expensive, since it is produced by his System, it was definitely worth every point that he had to pay for.

So what he had to do now was wait for his Feebas to take good care of herself under him, and he can then get a Milotic of his own.

"Yo, everyone, look at that!" Coming out of the Pokémon Center, Max's eyes were glued to one thing, and he immediately saw the poster on the window near to them, "Isn't that the poster for a Pokémon Contest?"

"There's a Pokémon Contest happening here! And it will be held the day after tomorrow!" May was also very pleasantly surprised, but she was happy to see it.
