27. Festival

"Wobbuffet, you should straighten your back so that your posture looks good!"

"Also, you have to act cute, so everyone will have like you!"

Just when Ash and his party walked out of Ilex Forest and arrived outside Palmpona Town, they suddenly heard a voice.

Following the sound, he saw a boy of the same age training a blue Pokémon.

Ash's eyes lit up, isn't this Jessie's Wobbuffet?

Wobbuffet, who followed Jessie for several Regions, was accidentally exchanged for her Lickitung at an exchange festival. It is the strongest protective shield of the Rockets trio, which often frustrates Ash and his team.

Later they discovered that this Wobbuffet had a very high IQ and had excellent independent thinking in battle.

Although Jessie's command is "Counter" every time, Wobbuffet can judge whether the opponent's skill is a physical attack or a special attack, and then performs the "Counter" or "Mirror Coat" skills on his own.

He was even able to resist the attack of many Legendary Pokémon and save their lives.

"Hello, my name is Ash, and may I ask what are you doing?" Ash asked knowingly.

"My name is Benny, and I want to take Wobbuffet to the Pokémon Exchange Festival! I'm making final adjustments to it!" Benny introduced himself.

The predecessor Ash once did a Pokémon exchange, exchanging his Butterfree with a Raticate.

But he soon regretted it and changed it again.

For him, the Pokémon he worked so hard to breed would never be exchanged. But if it was Pokémon's own decision, he was willing to respect it.

For example, this Wobbuffet is obviously looking forward to being exchanged and looking for a new trainer.

"But this Pokémon of yours doesn't look impressive at all. Can it really be exchanged?" Misty looked at Wobbuffet, and even if it was a little rude, she was really telling the truth!

Brock quickly reminded her.

Only then did Misty react and quickly changed her words, "No no, he looks pretty cute if you look closely."

Laughing awkwardly. . .

But Benny didn't care, "Yeah, I really like Wobbuffet, but I also want to breed other Pokémon."

Seeing this, Ash quietly took a look at Psyduck's condition. He seemed to have had a good rest in the Poké Ball. Psyduck looked much more energetic now.

The Benny in front of him is very suitable for Psyduck. He obviously cares about Breeder rather than the strength of the opponent. Psyduck will be fine following him.

"Well, I have a Psyduck here!" Ash summoned Psyduck.

Sure enough, although its spirit status is still a bit poor, it is already very good compared to before.

"Hey, Ash, when did you catch a Psyduck?" Misty asked confused.

"When we were in Ilex Forest before!" Ash explained, and then looked at Benny, "If you are willing, I want to exchange this Psyduck for your Wobbuffet, but I hope you promise me to take good care of it, never exchange it again!"

Benny seemed to be able to sense the melancholy hidden under Psyduck's dull eyes, which were really charming.

"Ash, can I ask what's going on with this Psyduck?" He actually already liked this Psyduck.

Ash took a look and spent the redemption points to enable the fitness query function. If Ash redeemed the power of Viridian Force, there would be no problems in this regard.

The compatibility between Benny and this Psyduck is 150, which is enough for him to breed it well.

"Its previous trainer abandoned it in Ilex Forest, so it is a little depressed. If you can, please breed it properly, then I will be very great full to you!" He did not hide anything and told the whole truth.

Hearing this, Benny stared into Psyduck's eyes and nodded quickly, "I will breed it well, and I promise you that I will never exchange it again!"

Since both parties agreed, Ash and his party quickly followed Benny to the inside of Palmpona!

After arriving here, Ash and his team discovered that there are many activities in this celebration, and there are various special competitions before the actual exchange festival!

Ash and Benny had just completed the exchange when they saw a group of Tauros suddenly rushing in from outside the town!

"Yeah! Yeah!"

Not only did the people in the town not panicked at all, but they were so excited that they cheered so loudly!

"What is this?" Brock asked standing in the distance.

"This is a local special show, the Tauros Chase!" Benny introduced, holding Psyduck's Poké Ball, "If anyone can touch Tauros' horns, they will be praised as the most courageous person here!"

This is a great honor to some!

But it's very dangerous to pull of, most get injured when they try to get too close the herd.

"Hey, where is Ash?" Ash, who had just put away the Wobbuffet Poké Ball, disappeared in the blink of an eye. Misty quickly looked around.

Then, she saw his figure, standing in front of Tauros' attack!

"Ash, danger!"

But Ash can no longer hear her voice!

"Look at me! Look at me!"

Facing the oncoming Tauros, Ash grinned with a confident smile. Even Pikachu on his shoulder didn't look panicked at all.

I saw him holding the horns of the leader Tauros, pulling him, turning 360 degrees in the air, and sitting firmly on Tauros' back!

"So cool! This young man is so awesome. He actually completed the task in this way and even rode Tauros! Let's cheer for his great courage!"

"Have you enjoyed seeing the Tauros Chase? Next is the long-awaited show, the one-on-one duel between Tauros and Tauros!"

Battle of Tauros!

Ash rode on the back of the leader Tauros and entered a small battle venue. The Tauros battle has begun!

Before the Tauros could stop, he had already rolled over and went to the Pokémon Center to find Professor Oak!

"Professor Oak, please help me send over my Tauros, and then please help me send this Pokémon to my mother!"

He had captured a total of 30 Tauros but he decided to send them back to the Safari Zone because they were not all trained and caused many trouble for the Pokémon's in the lab and to the professor himself. He only kept the strongest one, which also had the highest bond with him.

In order to catch Psyduck, Ash temporarily sent Heracross to Professor Oak, who had asked Ash several times to send it over so he could collect some data from Heracross.

As for this Wobbuffet, its compatibility with Ash actually reached 200, but rather than taking it with him as a shield, Ash thought it would be more appropriate to let it accompany Delia.

Wobbuffet is a very gentle Pokémon that will definitely accompany Delia's mother well! It doesn't have any offensive moves to attack the opponent, so it could only stand there.

Tauros that Ash asked Professor Oak for was also the strongest one among the 30 Tauros that Ash accidentally caught, and has the highest bond, reaching 127!

"Okay, I got it!"

Taking Tauros, Ash returned to the battle venue.

"Ash, you are back!" Misty and Brock have been waiting for him at this venue.

"Awesome, the ChampionsTauros has won eight games in a row! Wait, would you look at that, that's the young warrior who just successfully touched the horns of Tauros Boss. He's back! Let's cheer for him once again!"

The applause and shouts are the glory of a Trainer.

"I'm Ssh from Pallet Town, and it's decided to challenge you, go Tautos!"

Ash's Tauros came on the scene, and his momentum was truly amazing. And Tauros, who is able to win eight games in a row on the opposite side, is obviously not to be underestimated!

"Young trainer, come on!" His opponent on the other side also admired Ash very much and made up his mind to go all out!

"Tauros, use Take Down!"*2

The two ferocious bulls stamped their hooves on the ground with such force that the ground seemed to be shaking under their footsteps!

At the moment of collision, the horns of the bull clashed violently.

The two Tauros began to wrestle, and neither would give in this fight!

In the end, it was Ash's Tauros who was superior and won the victory. He also won ten consecutive victories and won the final victory!

Tauros: 138/240
