The Pidgeotto flock in Viridian Forest was a very large group of Pokémon.
As more Pidgey and Pidgeotto appeared, the surrounding trees changed from dense to sparse, yet all these trees were noticeably taller than those in the nearby areas.
At the same time, very few Bug-type Pokémon could be seen in this area, indicating that there was a powerful Flying-type group nearby.
Not long after entering this area, Ash saw a giant tree from a distance.
He could vaguely sense countless pairs of eyes watching him.
Clearly, those Pidgey and Pidgeotto had already noticed him and Alexa, these two uninvited guests.
Ash also knew he could not go any deeper.
If he advanced further, he might be attacked as an intruder before even seeing Pidgeot.
He took a deep breath and shouted loudly toward the giant tree, “Pidgeot, I’ve come to take you home!”
“Pika Pika, Pikachu”
As Ash and Pikachu’s voices spread through the forest, a sharp sound of rushing air approached at incredible speed.
Ash and Pikachu only felt a blur flash before their eyes, and in the next second, they were knocked to the ground.
The black shadow was none other than Ash’s Pidgeot.
Alexa looked at Pidgeot, which was clearly more robust and well-trained than ordinary wild Pidgeot, and could not help but open her mouth in surprise.
As a reporter specializing in Pokémon, she understood very well how much time, effort, and training it required to raise a Pokémon to such a level far beyond its peers.
After a long and emotional reunion, Ash adjusted his hat and said seriously, “Pidgeot, are you still willing to travel with me?”

Pidgeot landed on the ground, spread its wings, and let out a long cry toward the sky, “Pidgeot~”
Then it lowered its body slightly and assumed a battle stance, its eyes filled with fighting spirit.
After confirming its intent with a glance, Ash looked at Pikachu.
“Go, Pikachu!”
“Pika”
Pikachu lightly patted its cheeks, and the two electric sacs released faint sparks.
Then it leaped forward, landing in front of Pidgeot, ready for battle.
“Pidgeot~”
Pidgeot circled Pikachu twice before launching Air Slash without hesitation.
Two wind blades nearly three meters long shot toward Pikachu.
Ash immediately commanded, “Use Quick Attack to dodge, close in, then Thunderbolt!”
Pikachu burst forward at incredible speed.
Just as the wind blades were about to strike, it slipped through the narrow gap between them and instantly appeared in front of Pidgeot.
“Pika~~~chu!”
A powerful electric current erupted, completely engulfing Pidgeot.
Boom!
Thunderbolt exploded, sending dust and debris into the air.
“Pidgeot~ Pidgeot~ Pidgeot~”
Pidgeot’s excited cry echoed from within the smoke.
In the next moment, a powerful gust of wind surged outward from the center of the dust cloud.
Ash felt delighted seeing that Pidgeot had endured Pikachu’s Thunderbolt without collapsing.
Pidgeot gathered energy and unleashed Hyper Beam.
“Pikachu, let’s go all out, Volt Tackle!”
“Pika Pika Pika…”
Pikachu charged forward wrapped in blazing electricity, colliding head-on with the Hyper Beam.
Pidgeot’s eyes widened as it saw Pikachu getting closer and closer, and the power of its Hyper Beam surged even further.
However, Pikachu was not to be underestimated.
This time, it did not hold back.
Volt Tackle forcefully tore through the Hyper Beam, and Pikachu slammed directly into Pidgeot.
Boom!
Another explosion resounded through the forest.
Alexa, witnessing this clash, was completely stunned.
She knew Ash had a bold battling style, but this was on an entirely different level.
A direct collision between Volt Tackle and Hyper Beam was simply unbelievable.
As the dust gradually settled, Pikachu and Pidgeot had both lost their will to continue fighting and returned to their original bond as close partners.
[Beep… Battle settlement in progress… Rating: A rank!]
[Beep, congratulations on receiving reward: Pidgeot Mega Set!]
Ash ignored the system notification and took out Pidgeot’s Poké Ball from the inner pocket of his backpack.
“Welcome back, Pidgeot!”
“Pidgeot”
Pidgeot turned its head to look at the flock it had protected for so long.
It said nothing, lowered its head, and gently tapped the switch on the Poké Ball before returning to Ash’s side.
“Pidgeot!!”
“Pidgeot”
“Pidgey”
After Pidgeot made its choice, the entire flock cried out together.
Led by several wild Pidgeot, they circled above Ash repeatedly, as if bidding farewell to the guardian who had protected them.
Countless wings beat through the sky as their cries echoed through the forest, forming a truly breathtaking scene.
Not only were Ash and Pikachu stunned, but even the well-traveled Alexa was left speechless for a long while.
Accompanying Ash on this journey had truly been worth it.
Such a spectacle was rarely seen.
Ash finally spoke, “Miss Alexa, our business here is done.”
“Ah… mm, then let’s go.”
Alexa put away her recording equipment.
After passing through Viridian Forest, Ash returned to Pallet Town, his hometown in this life.
It was also where his journey had originally begun.
Unlike before, the first thing Ash did upon returning to Pallet Town was to go home.
After all, it was already close to evening, and both he and Pikachu were starving.
Ash said apologetically, “Miss Alexa, regarding Professor Oak’s lab, I’m afraid we will have to visit tomorrow.
I’m really sorry.”
Alexa waved her hand.
“It’s fine.
I managed to record some excellent material today.”
“Waliwali”
At that moment, Ash’s ever-helpful Mr.
Mime, who had been taking care of the household, ran out dancing to welcome them.
“Mr.
Mime!”
Ash stepped forward and gave Mr.
Mime a big hug.
“Welcome back, Ash.”
Hearing the commotion, Ash’s mother, Delia, also came out.
Ash smiled brightly.
“I’m home, Mom!”
“Mom, this is Miss Alexa.
She’s a reporter from a publishing company in the Kalos region, and she came to Pallet Town to interview Professor Oak.”
Delia greeted her warmly.
“Miss Alexa, hello.
I hope Ash hasn’t caused you too much trouble.”
“Ms.
Delia, you’re too kind.”
