30. Caught

If you don't agree with, you'll have to fight it and make it make sense!

Ash sent out Quilava, who is also a fire Pokémon, to challenge the Houndour's big boss!

Seen from a close distance, that Houndour is really powerful. On its face and the bone armor on its forehead, there are scars left by long battles. These are the marks of a warrior and a king!

"Up, Quilava, burn!"

As soon as Ash finished giving out his order, blazing flames burned on the top of Quilava's head and behind his tail.

"Roar!"

Houndour struck first, and with one breath the Flamethrower spurted towards Quilava, its fiery breath hitting her face!

"Quilava, Flame Charge!"

Quilava's long and narrow body was raised high, and then he smashed it down hard towards the attack. The fire energy spurted out and turned it into a big fireball.

This move will continuously increase Quilava's speed as long and after he uses it. The already agile Quilava easily dodged Houndour's Flamethrower and rushed towards it from the side.

The Houndour has obviously been through many battles and has rich combat experience. It used his scent to lock on where he is early in the morning and his figure disappeared. The moment the Flame Charge was about to hit, it disappeared.

"NANI WA?"

He frowned. Facing a Dark Pokémon, he needed to beware of all kinds of weird Dark Type moves!

Sure enough, the disappeared Houndour suddenly appeared beside Quilava, knocking him away.

"How can that be?"

Misty exclaimed, she couldn't understand why Houndour was there!

But Ash sneered, it was indeed a Dark Type skill, "This is the Foul Play move!"

Use the opponent's power to attack them back. The higher the oppositions attack, the greater the damage it will deal!

"Quilava, are you okay?!" Ash looked at Quilava who was knocked away. Fortunately, Flame Charge's attack was not strong and the damage it received was limited.

"This Houndour's movements are so neat!" After the head-on confrontation, I could feel how powerful the Houndour in front of me was!

However, just as the battle to catch it was about to continue, another shrill call came from the other side of the forest.

Hearing this voice, the Houndour suddenly spit out a ball of Haze, covering the sight of Ash and his party, and turned and left with his three companions.

"Chase them black creatures!"

Ash said loudly and quickly chased after him with Quilava and Pikachu. With his current physical fitness, both Brock and Misty are left behind by him.

He followed Houndour to a cave and saw his backpack opened and other food packaging bags scattered at the entrance of the cave.

The cry just now was the cry for help from another Houndour here.

This Houndour also looks very strong and tall, almost as much the Houndour Leader.

However, it seems to be very weak now, it is facing a Golem, both of Golems types restrains it. The Flamethrower it tried its best was easily broken by the Golem's Rollout.

Just when Golem was about to launch an attack, another Flamethrower fell from the top and blocked it attack.

Houndour Leader takes action!

After blocking the Golem, it immediately rushed over with its companions.

The four Houndours protected their weak companions, and the Boss Houndour faced the Golems attack head on.

Seeing his companions coming, Houndour could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

"Ash, how are you?"

Brock and Misty caught up and noticed the scene at this moment and immediately understood the situation, "It turn out to be that these Houndours collect food from everywhere to help their weak companion regain their strength as soon as possible!"

"It turns out that these Pokémon look fierce on the outside, but they are actually very gentle in the inside!" Misty is no longer mad at the Houndours from before.

The Houndours stared with scarlet eyes and breathed out a stream of flames again.

However, fire-based skills are very ineffective against Golem. Golem uses Rollout to disperse the flames, and then Rollout again to knock the Boss away.

Seeing this, Ash frowned and jumped down to stand with Houndour Boss.

"Houndour, make quick work of it, your companions must heal quickly! Use Beat Up!"

After hearing Ash's order, Houndour roared at his companions, and the eyes of all Houndours began to release bright red lights!

boom!

The evil purple and black energy burst out of their body and rushed towards the first Golem in the Rollout.

The first one was knocked away, the second one caught up, the third one, the fourth one!

Finally, the Houndour Boss became so aggressive that he knocked all Golem away.

Beat Up, as the name suggests, is a unique combat skill. All members of the team attacks. The more Pokémon that attacks, the more times the skill attacks.

"Brock, I'm sorry to bother you again!"

After examination, it was found that this Houndour's hind legs were injured and severely infected. Now its body temperature is very high and it must be sent to the Pokémon Center immediately!

After Brock told the results of the examination, Ash had already carried the Houndour on his back.

"Ash, the nearest Pokémon Center here is 5 kilometers away. Do you want to carry it all the way there?" Brock quickly dissuaded him.

Although Ash is physically very strong, having to carry a Houndour for 5 kilometers on his back is no joke!

"There is no other way, Brock, Misty, please help me pack my backpack and catch up slowly!" With that, Ash ran away towards the direction of the Pokémon Center.

"Roar!"

The Houndours, led by Big Boss, have also been following Ash.

After running one kilometer, seeing Ash slowing down, the Houndours caught up.

"Woof!"

"You mean you're going to carry it?"

The five Houndours and Ash took turns and finally arrived at the Pokémon Center in the shortest time.

It should be said that the Joy family has is indeed worthy of their work, a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and has a very high level of Pokémon medical treatment.

Houndour had finished his treatment before Brock and Misty caught up.

Now that we have all arrived at the Pokémon Center, we will stay here for one night. Houndour also needs a night to recover.

Early the next morning, when Ash walked out of the Pokémon Center with the Houndour, Houndour was already waiting in the forest with his companions.

They seemed to have been waiting here all night.

The Houndour Leader stepped forward and gently licked the injured Houndour.

"Ugh..."

The five Houndours suddenly started whimpering, causing Ash and his group to look blankly at what was going on.

At this time, Houndour, who had recovered from his injury, walked up to his four companions, reluctantly glanced at his Boss, and walked back into the depths of the forest.

And the Leader Houndour came in front of Ash.

"Woof!"

This Houndour seems to be very happy, with his red eyes full of anticipation and joy.

Ash understood what it was saying and took out his Poké Ball, "Then, please help me with my goal, Houndour!"

Houndour: 135/180
