Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Triggering the Bulbasaur Mission
Ash who just obtained a top-quality Miracle Seed by completing a hidden task in the system was thinking.
It would be a bit of a waste if you don't use it.
If he remember correctly in the original plot he and his gang after leaving the Pokémon Academy had an encounter with hidden village.
Just because Misty wanted to catch an Oddish she was misunderstood as a pocher by the village Guradian Bulbasaur.
The group did not get to know each other without fighting and finally caught Bulbasaur by chance.
But the plot is a plot and cannot completely correspond to the real world.
Ash did not want to rely on luck to meet and catch Bulbasaur.
Along the way he was gathering information from the wild Pokémon Trainers whom he encounters during his way.
Finally he got the information he wanted from a senior trainer.
Walk about 10 kilometers southwest and you will encounter a small village.
In this village there are a large number of Pokémon abandoned by Pokemon trainers.
There is also a caretaker named Melanie living here providing help and some necessary medical treatment to these Pokémon abandoned by trainers.
And the Bulbasaur Ash is looking for is the Guradian of this village.
It has a deep hostility towards Pokemon trainer due to its abondment by a trainer who forced it's evolution and left him to fed of itself.
The senior Trainer went to that village also saw that Bulbasaur's combat level was not low.
He also wanted to capture the Bulbasaur and travel with him.
But he was ultimately defeated by Bulbasaur's Vine Whip.
When he told ash about it he was still looked little sour missing an golden opportunity to catch one of kanto starters in wild area starter Pokémons usually passed by regional professors via private breeding centre's which are authorised by PTLA and some times the Pokémons are passed to the corresponding trainers family generation to generation.
After learning about the exact information which he wanted to know Ash thanked the other party then took Misty along with Brock and rushed towards the direction pointed by the other party.
.....
"Ash do you want to catch the Bulbasaur which the trainer just said?Although that Bulbasaur will definitely not be the rival of Pikachu now. But they heard the trainer telling about its resentment towards human trainers. it will be very difficult if you if it did't obey you after catching it. If you release the bulbasuar again it will cause another round of damage to it"
On the way Misty expressed her concerns on catching the human hating bulbasuar.
" Misty let's see how handles this situation if he wanted be the best trainer he need to handle these kinds of wild Pokémons who hate humans" Brock also added his remarks on catching this wild bulbasuar.
Ash nodded.
"Misty your worries are actually reasonable, but I want to give it a try."
Ash now has a primary affinity aura as long as it is a wild Pokémon without a Trainer.
Naturally the favorability towards him will increase by 10%.
And since he has the power of aura only Pokemon feel it from him so easily recognize him and feel quite comfortable around him.
Just being able to understand what Pokémon are saying is beyond what a normal person can do.
A two-pronged approach may be able to change Bulbasaur's prejudice against Normal human Trainers and successfully join the team.
If that doesn't work you can only relay on the method of catching Bulbasaur in the original plot but he quite confused what happened to the rocket trio after he blast them during cerulean city gym their presence was completely vanished.
First is use the primary affinity aura enhanced with his own aura to convince bulbasuar to join his team without any fight and quralles.
Second is wait for team Rocket make their own Pokemon catching scenario and help bulbasuar to defend its village and like og battle and catch him.
But more importantly rocket trio are not fixed NPC's who appears in certain situation.
Although they have always had the dream of catching my Pikachu.
But it's not like they can appear whenever he want them to.
Waiting for them to come out and do evil is extremely uncertain.
After thinking for a moment Ash directly eliminated the backup plan of waiting for the Rockets.
He also has a killer weapon - Miracle Seed which has a fatal Captivate effect on Grass Type Pokémon.
His top quality Miracle Seed is like golden treasury for grass type Pokémons.
If even this can't impress Bulbasaur.
Then he can only regretfully announce that he and Bulbasaur are not destined to be together.
You can't just ignore the other party's wishes and forcefully catch it right?
After reincarnation what he want to do is make up for my regrets not create new ones!
..... ..
After sorting out his thoughts Ash took Misty and Brock to Pokémon secret village were many Pokemon abandoned by their trainers lived.
During the travel same old funny scenario's like og happened Brock getting sweeped by river misty and him falling to a trap together but he didn't Dodge the trap who wanted to miss this golden opportunity to be caught in a same net with a tsundere who was blushing because of their situation.
After sometime Brock came for the rescue along side the caretaker Melanie who taking care of this wild and abonded Pokemon's.
Melanie who has been silently providing help and treatment to these Pokémon here Brock who saw the beautiful oneesan jumped at the opportunity to exchange medicinal care for Pokemons with her.
Misty who was quite embarassed by her previous encounter asked why the village has traps and Melanie replayed about the history off the village and the Pokémons there.
Ash who was patiently listening asked Melanie about bulbasuar and his history also asked whether he can try to catch him.
"Huh? Ash you mean you want to catch Bulbasaur?"
Melanie seemed a little surprised when Ash came to her directly to express his intention.
It's true that some trainer's has wanted to catch Bulbasaur before but no one has ever sought her advice.
They will always challenge Bulbasaur on their own.
It's just that they couldn't defeat Bulbasaur and successfully catch it.
She also wanted bulbasuar to go with a good trainer who will help bulbasuar to grow and not waste his potential in this remote village.
Now ash a Pokemon trainer among all the trainer who wanted to catch the bulbasuar asked permission from her this proves Ash's nature.
" Bulbasaur is very talented and has a great potential he shouldn't stay in this small village all the time."
"Actually I've always wanted a honest trainer to take Bulbasaur out but bulbasuar has never let go of its prejudice against human Trainers I'll take you to bulbasuar If you can convince him then Bulbasaur will be in your hands from now on. "
"Thank you very much Miss Melanie."
Melanie whom Bulbasaur trusted introduced the trio to each other to avoid the initial misunderstanding.
Then the probability of him successfully catching Bulbasaur which became even higher.
[Ding, trigger system mission: Bulbasaur's return.
Please use methods other than combat to obtain Bulbasaur's recognition and make him voluntarily join you.]
[Mission completion reward: Magical speed potion (Pokémon can permanently increase its speed by 10% after use)]
At this time the system also triggered the task in a timely manner.
However the requirements for completion are also slightly demanding.
After all it's normal to want a Pokémon to join your team.
At least defeat it and let it see your strength.
If you can't use the fighting method it will be a little more difficult.
On the way to find Bulbasaur with Melanie.
Ash took over the task smoothly thoght secretly in his heart.
How to complete this task quickly and effeciently.
