Ash used up all the free attribute points he had.
However, he was once again blessed by the god of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and every attribute of his was exactly a round number.
Looking at the panel, Ash shook his head. "It's still not enough. I'm still too weak, I have no power..." (Pixie: Really?)
Ash immediately pulled Pikachu and Misty up; now he wanted to go and bring warmth to the wild Pokémon again.
Get out of my way, trapezius muscles!
A few days later, on a forest path.
After winning his fifth battle of the day, Ash brought his newly caught Bulbasaur to Misty's side.
Yesterday, Ash and his friends passed by a private Pokémon sanatorium located in the forest.
It was a place that looked like a small village from the outside, called Pokémon Village.
The owner there, Little Green, will take in Pokémon that are injured in battle or released.
After helping to drive away Team Rocket, who happened to be there trying to steal chickens, Ash took away Bulbasaur, the security captain there.
They also received a new task.
[A new side quest has been triggered! Seed! Seed!: Defeat Venusaur with Bulbasaur.]

Xiao Zhi picked up the binoculars and began to observe the surroundings.
"Why are there so many shrike here?"
Today, all of Bulbasaur's battles were against Spearow.
Holding the map, Xia was gesturing towards the sun with a worried expression, trying to determine their current location.
"Is this the time to say things like that?!"
Xiao Zhi didn't care. Having learned from his previous experience, he brought plenty of food this time.
"Since I'm already lost, I figured if I could come across a rare Pokémon, I could catch it while I'm at it."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Misty couldn't help but get angry at Ash's casual tone.
"We've been heading towards Konoha City for seven days now, and I can't go any further!"
Holding the map, Xiaoxia started yelling in frustration, "Ugh! Where am I?! Tell me, who am I?!"
"Your name is Xiaoxia, and you are in the bushes somewhere."
Ash picked up the map that had been thrown to the ground and pointed to a direction on it.
"You just held the map upside down. The nearest highway is number 24."
Xiaoxia blushed slightly after glancing at the direction Xiaozhi was pointing.
It seems that not only Ash, but Misty is also prone to getting lost.
These two lost souls together don't seem to have a very bright future ahead of them.
"So, if we cross this mountain, we'll see the road to Konoha City."
"Let's go, let's go, let's hurry up and move forward."
Excitedly picking up Pikachu, Misty immediately led Ash on their way.
Not long after they started walking, Xiaoxia spotted a shadow that looked like a Pokémon on a large rock ahead.
"Ash, look, what's that?"
"What? It's appeared? A rare Pokémon!" Ash turned around at the sound.
"Pikachu, get ready."
"Pikachu..." Upon hearing Ash's call, Pikachu immediately jumped down from Misty's arms.
However, Ash quickly realized something was wrong.
"This figure looks like..." Ash took out his Pokédex and scanned it toward the location of the giant rock.
[A baby dragon has a burning flame on its tail from the moment it is born; when the flame disappears, it dies.]
"Oh, it's a little dragon. But the flame on its tail is so weak."
The observant Xia noticed that something was wrong with the little fire dragon.
"His condition is indeed so poor; if left unattended, something bad will happen soon."
"Then let's subdue it and take it with us!"
Without hesitation, Ash threw a Poké Ball at Charmander.
Unexpectedly, the little Charmander struggled to its feet and nimbly swung its tail, knocking back the Poké Ball that Ash had thrown.
Xiao Zhi, holding the ball, was somewhat surprised.
"Could the little dragon be waiting for its owner?" Xiaoxia suggested.
"It is indeed waiting for its owner, but it won't come," Ash said decisively.
Ash finally remembered – wasn't this the future Charizard? Ash had a strong impression of it.
"If it were just an ordinary Pokémon, that would be fine, but now I have to take you with me, Charmander!"
Ash waved his hand and said, "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt on me!"
The little Charmander on the rock stared blankly at Ash, thinking, "Why would he let a Pokémon attack him? Has this human gone mad?!"
After being shocked by the electric shock, Ash transformed into a tough guy and leaped onto the rock.
Under the terrifying pressure, Charmander didn't dare to move and was picked up by Ash like a mouse.
"Charmander, I know who you're waiting for. I can take you to see that scumbag's true colors, but you have to come with me to the Pokémon Center for treatment."
Xiao Zhi punched downwards, and the boulder beneath their feet instantly cracked and shattered into small pebbles.
"You have no right to refuse!"
This terrifying power completely terrified the little dragon. Already weakened, it stared wide-eyed, unable to utter a sound, and could only nod blankly.
Ash tucked it under his arm and took it to the nearby Pokémon Center.
Just after Ash and his friends turned around, the sky gradually darkened, and dark clouds gathered, as if it was about to rain.
In Ash's vague memory, there was a Pokémon Center ahead of the road.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiaoxia to find their destination. "Look, Ash, it's the Pokémon Center!"
The raindrops falling from the sky gradually became denser, and Ash and his friends quickly headed to the center to take shelter from the rain.
The interior of this Pokémon Center is exquisitely decorated in a retro style, mainly using wood. In the center of the living room, there is a specially constructed torch used for lighting and heating.
However, Ash wasn't really interested in appreciating the exquisite interior design.
Instead, they immediately took Charmander to Miss Joy for initial treatment.
The little fire dragon had been on that rock for a long time, and its body was covered with many wounds left by the attack from the speare.
"Luckily you brought it in time, and with this bandaging, it's nothing serious."
Nurse Joy handed the Charmander, wrapped up like a dumpling, along with the other Poké Balls that had been sent to help him recover, to Ash.
"Thank you very much, Miss Joey."
After thanking Nurse Joy, Ash took Charmander to the cafeteria in the center to rest.
Xiaoxia also brought back 4 cups of Coca-Cola.
Charmander was still a little annoyed at being forcibly brought to the Pokémon Center, but since Ash was sitting right next to it, it could only obediently accept Misty's kindness.
Just then, another group of people were also taking shelter from the rain inside the Pokémon Center.
They started making a lot of noise around a blue-haired boy wearing sunglasses.
Charmander suddenly became excited after hearing the sound.
Ash, understanding what had happened, reached out and stroked Charmander's head, saying sympathetically to it...
"Wait for Charmander, don't make a sound, and take a good look at his true face."
The blue-haired youth in the middle had the loudest voice.
"As expected of Brother Dayou."
"But Brother Dayou, you don't have Little Fire Dragon anymore, do you?"
The blue-haired youth named Da You said to his underling with an indifferent expression.
"My little Charmander is too weak. It can't even beat a Poliwag. It's terrible!"
The henchmen surrounding him continued to ask, "Brother Dayou, how's that little fire dragon doing?"
"Of course, we'll release them directly into the forest in front."
"I lost it several times before, and it kept following me. Finally, I told it to wait for me here and that I would be back soon, and then it stopped following me."
"It even wagged its tail at me like an idiot, seeing me off, hahaha!"
Because they were speaking so loudly, Charmander heard their entire conversation.
It lowered its head in disappointment, the flames on its tail flickering.
Xiaoxia said angrily, "So that's why he abandoned Charmander."
Stroking Charmander's head, Ash comforted it, saying, "It didn't realize it was waiting patiently before."
That group was even laughing over there.
"Maybe it's still wagging its tail on the hilltop..."
"Maybe the tail was wagging so hard it extinguished the fire!"
The young man named Dayou was the one laughing the most.
"This is going to be fun, hahaha!"
Finally, Xiao Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, so he went over, grabbed Da You by the collar, and lifted him off the chair.
"If the little dragon is still waiting for you on the rock, and you don't go, it will wait there until it dies, do you understand?!"
With a displeased expression, Da You broke free from Xiao Zhi's hand. "Stop nagging, it's none of your business!"
[Ding! Side quest triggered: Punish the real scumbag: Little Zhi, martial god, give him the ultimate humiliation!]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1000; Free Attribute Points +3; Attack +2; Regional Reputation +1]
Amidst the commotion, Da You's underlings surrounded him, and Xiao Xia and Pikachu also came to Xiao Zhi's side.
The two groups were locked in a fierce battle.
