Misty and May were extremely anxious. If Ash fell from such a high place, he would definitely end up with broken bones!
Of course, Ash wouldn't let himself be in danger.
"Mewtwo, right before I hit the ground, use your psychic powers to hold me and gently place me down."
Yes, Ash's trump card was Mewtwo's presence!
Mewtwo was so powerful that even while inside its Master Ball, it could still use its psychic abilities!
So, Ash's crisis was naturally averted.
Misty and May, not worrying about anything else, quickly walked over, each of them supporting Ash on one side…
Seeing this scene, Ash knew his plan had succeeded!
Time flowed by slowly.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
"Bayleef, Bulbasaur, use Razor Leaf on that rock in front of you!"
Bayleef and Bulbasaur were practicing Razor Leaf.
"Pikachu, you and Grovyle use Quick Attack! Race each other to see who can reach the 500-meter mark first!"
Two figures shot out with two sharp sounds, speeding forward in an instant!
This was Ash, training his Pokémon with various skills in the back mountains of Pallet Town.
"Ash has really gotten the hang of training his Pokémon."
At this moment, Misty and May had just finished their own training with their Pokémon.
Ash had especially created custom training plans for each of them.
At this point, two months had already passed.
Ash naturally wasn't going to rush off on a new journey right after returning like he used to.
He stayed home to spend quality time with his mom, Delia.
It's worth mentioning that Misty and May were also invited by Delia to stay as guests at their home.
Even more noteworthy, both of them agreed…
As for Max, without Ash's persuasion, Norman had already insisted that Max return to Petalburg City to attend the Pokémon Academy.
"Yes, with the training plan Ash made for us, has really improved our results."
Misty and May now had a harmonious relationship.
Because of Team Rocket's intervention and Ash's "desperate" rescue of them both, they understood each other's place in Ash's heart.
Since there was no way to replace the other, they could only accept each other's existence.
Totodile had now evolved into Croconaw!
Its level had already reached the requirement for evolution.
Over the past few days, Ash had been discussing evolution with his Bulbasaur, Bayleef, Squirtle, and Totodile, as well as Phanpy, all of whom had already reached the level for evolution.
Of course, whether to evolve was still their own decision.
However, if they didn't evolve, their strength would still improve, but not as quickly as if they did evolve.
Ash knew that in order to challenge Gyms, the Battle Frontier, and the League, he would likely need his evolved Pokémon.
So, the choice was still in their hands.
But most of them had begun to change their minds.
For example, Croconaw.
Croconaw had been very insistent on training with Ash.
"Croconaw, don't worry, your level is already high enough to evolve. Keep training with us, and you'll definitely get there."
Ash patted Croconaw's head. Croconaw nodded, shouted, and began to glow all over. This text is hosted at novel{f}ire.net
Ash was stunned. Was it evolving already?
Croconaw's body began to grow larger at a visible rate.
An excited Feraligatr charged over and tackled Ash to the ground.
Bayleef saw this and immediately got jealous, using Vine Whip to pull Ash back!
It looked at Feraligatr angrily, not afraid in the slightest.
Feraligatr awkwardly scratched its head.
"Haha, alright, alright, Bayleef, Feraligatr is just happy about evolving! Let's keep training, everyone!"
Ash patted the leaf on Bayleef's head, then looked over at Feraligatr.
[Pokémon]: Feraligatr
[Category]: Big Jaw Pokémon
[Level]: Level 39 (High-level Strength)
[Moves]: Scratch, Water Gun, Bite, Scary Face, Ice Fang, Crunch, Brick Break, Slash, Breakthrough, Hydro Pump, Aqua Tail, Dynamic Punch...
"Excellent, with Feraligatr now evolved, I have another Pokémon that can compete in the Battle Frontier!"
After another two hours of training, they finally headed back home.
Once they returned, Delia, knowing Ash would be leaving on a journey the next day, prepared a particularly lavish dinner!
They ate heartily and then had a quiet night.
The sun was shining, and a gentle breeze was blowing.
Delia handed Ash a new backpack, new clothes, and all the things he would need for his journey.
"Well, Misty, May, I'm leaving my little Ash in your care."
Delia felt content, as Ash had stayed home for a full two months this time.
"Yes, please rest assured."
Misty and May responded in unison.
"Alright, alright! Who's taking care of who here is still undecided! Let's set off! Battle Frontier, here we come!"
