Chapter 421: Catching Snorunt!

After leaving Village, Ash’s group continued their journey across Izabe Island; today they arrived at the snowy mountain area of Izabe Island.

May looked at the gloomy sky, "How can this be? I feel like the weather is about to turn bad!"

"I remember there is a Pokémon Center not far ahead. Judging by the weather, there might be a Blizzard soon. Let’s spend tonight at the Pokémon Center," Brock suggested excitedly.

"..."

Brock’s suggestion immediately drew eye rolls from Ash’s group.

It was obvious this guy was just thinking about Nurse Nurse Joy.

However, the weather conditions were indeed terrible, and neither Ash nor May intended to refuse.

"Brock, after passing that Pokémon Center ahead, are we almost at Sairusi Town?" Ash asked.

Brock nodded, "Yes, the Pokémon Center is only half a day’s journey from Sairusi Town, and there is a ferry that goes directly to Sootopolis City there."

As they walked and talked, they soon saw a building with the red and white ball logo not far away.

Just as Ash’s group was running towards the Pokémon Center, a mysterious yellow triangular Pokémon was secretly following them.

"Good afternoon, excuse us!"

Perhaps because this Pokémon Center was at a high altitude, after Ash and the others entered, they only saw Nurse Nurse Joy alone; not a single other Trainer was to be seen.

"Welcome!" Nurse Nurse Joy greeted them warmly, "A Blizzard is coming soon, you should rest well for now!"

Brock rushed up and grabbed Nurse Nurse Joy’s hand, "Ah, then I shall respectfully accept..."

Before Jirachi and Deoxys could make a move, a cold, piercing wind blew, and Brock felt a chill rush straight to his brain, followed by his entire body being frozen.

Ash looked down and discovered that the one who had sanctioned Brock was actually a Snorunt!

[Pokémon: Snorunt]

[Type: Ice]

[Gender: Male]

[Level: Gym Beginner]

[Ability: Ice Body (Slowly recovers HP during Hail)]

[Potential: Elite]

[Skills: Powder Snow, Double Team, Ice Shard, Headbutt, Icy Wind...]

"YoukiYouki!"

Seeing Brock frozen, Snorunt jumped up and down excitedly on the spot.

Seeing an unfamiliar Pokémon, May immediately took out her Pokédex to scan it.

[Snorunt, the Snow Hat Pokémon, mainly inhabits places that snow often. According to legend, households visited by Snorunt will prosper for generations...]

"So it’s called Snorunt? It looks so cute!" May exclaimed.

"You rascal, you came over to play again."

Nurse Nurse Joy clearly recognized this Snorunt.

"So you mean, this Snorunt often runs to the Pokémon Center?" Ash was also a bit surprised.

"Yes, it is the naughtiest child in the vicinity. Every time it sees guests arriving, it tries to find ways to prank them..."

Although Nurse Nurse Joy said Snorunt was naughty, her face showed a doting smile.

Looking at this Snorunt, Ash remembered that in the original work, Ash also caught a Snorunt, which eventually evolved into Glalie.

Ice-type Pokémon counter Dragon-type, and Ash currently had very few Ice-type Pokémon. If he could lure this Snorunt into the team... Lance, I’m sorry!

Ahem, let me clarify first, he definitely wasn’t trying to beat up Lance by deliberately training an Ice-type ace!

He just purely wanted to give this Snorunt a home!

Just as Ash was lost in thought, Snorunt had silently taken the box containing the space capsules from his bag.

"Youki"

Although Snorunt didn’t know what was in the box, it was certain that this must be Ash’s treasure, so it took the box and turned to run away.

Seeing the figure in the distance, Ash couldn’t help but curse: "Damn! Stealing things right in front of me?"

"May, Brock, you guys stay here first, I’ll go catch it!"

After saying that, Ash chased after it directly.

Seeing Ash chasing, Snorunt’s emotions became even more excited.

"Mr. Ash, that child is just used to being lonely and likes pranks more. It has no malice!"

Nurse Nurse Joy hurriedly shouted.

May spoke up to comfort her: "Don’t worry, Nurse Nurse Joy. Ash can understand what Pokémon mean, he won’t do anything too extreme to Snorunt."

"N... no, that’s right, Ash is not an impulsive person," Brock said with a trembling voice.

Chasing to the outside, Ash looked at Snorunt’s action of turning back every few steps, and understood that this guy just wanted to play a prank.

In order to lure this little thing away, he decided to play along.

"Snorunt, stop!"

After a playful chase, Ash chased Snorunt to the edge of a hillside.

Snorunt was bold enough; seeing Ash approaching, it jumped down the hillside without a second thought.

After jumping down and walking a few steps, it slipped and ended up going down the mountain in a more rounded way.

Ash glanced at the protruding rock in the middle of the hillside and felt a bad feeling. His figure "whooshed" and appeared in front of that rock, then opened his arms to intercept Snorunt.

Snorunt slammed into his arms. In order to successfully lure it into the team, Ash rolled back twice and deliberately bumped into the rock.

"Youki!"

Snorunt, as simple as a blank sheet of paper, was so moved that tears almost fell down when it saw Ash willing to get hurt to save it. Its little eyes revealed full concern.

Pikachu and the others saw at a glance that Ash was acting. After all, they knew Ash’s real strength very well; even if he were to stop a Pokémon ten times heavier than Snorunt, Ash wouldn’t be hurt.

But when it was time to cooperate with the performance, Pikachu and the others didn’t drop the ball either; they also showed "concerned" expressions and gathered around Ash to call him.

Dozens of seconds later, Ash slowly opened his eyes, smiled, and comforted: "I’m fine, but Snorunt, are you hurt?"

"Youki..."

Snorunt shook its head.

"It’s good that you aren’t hurt. You really are something; if you want someone to play with you, just say so. Being naughty and playing pranks is wrong..."

Listening to Ash’s words, Snorunt lowered its head in shame.

Seeing it was about time, Ash slowly asked: "Alright, Snorunt, you like having people play with you, so would you like to travel with us?"

"Youki!"

Snorunt nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Good, then from now on we are partners traveling together! I’ll introduce you to other partners later!"

Ash took out a Poké Ball and caught the expectant Snorunt.

"Ding, detected that the host caught Snorunt, received reward: 3,000 points, Glalie super evolution stone * 1"
