Chapter 198: Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice [198]
The Pokémon School of Melemele Island.
Ash and Gary engaged in their very first Pokémon battle, one that would also mark a significant milestone in their lives.
When Professor Oak, acting as a referee, announced the start of the battle, Ash surprisingly pulled out his Pokédex to check what moves Pikachu could use.
This left everyone present slightly dumbfounded.
When Pikachu used Tackle, Shiny Stufful stood up on its hind legs, extended its front legs forward in a motion resembling a sumo stance, and braced itself. Pikachu, colliding with Shiny Stufful, didn't even manage to make it budge.
"How could Pikachu compete in raw strength against Stufful, a Fighting-type Pokémon? In this situation, it should keep its distance and use Thunderbolt to attack from afar."
Even Lana, known for her shy personality, couldn't help but comment.
Although they found the two boys' battle a bit crude, the others couldn't deny they were itching to join the fray. However, they weren't in a hurry to obtain their starter Pokémon before reaching the required age. It was just another year, and in the meantime, they believed that continuing to acquire knowledge was more worthwhile.
While the kids played in the schoolyard, Stephen and the others sat at an open-air camp set up next to the teaching building.
"Is that an Ultra Beast?"
Hau curiously asked, looking at the Shiny Kartana in front of the cooking station. The Pokémon exuded an air of displeasure while busy chopping vegetables.
