Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

"It's decided, I'll take your Pikachu."

J's leap from Salamence's back was like stating a given fact. Clearly, although Pikachu showed its power, to Hunter J, such power seemed like just another item in the market, something to be admired but not to be feared.

Or perhaps Hunter J has encountered far more outstanding Pokémon than this Pikachu.

"Dragon's Pulse".

Once Salamence and Pikachu were close enough, Hunter J didn't hesitate to order them to continue attacking.

"100,000 volts!"

Ash frowned slightly, and after a brief moment of thought, he instructed Pikachu to continue its head-on confrontation strategy.

"boom--"

The two skills clashed again, but when Salamence used its own Dragon-type move, Pikachu's Thunderbolt found it difficult to suppress it. However, the two sides were still evenly matched, and Hunter J was increasingly satisfied with this Pikachu.

"Boss, the target over there..."

Just as Hunter J had devised a plan, a man in a gray jacket drove up to Hunter J in a jeep and pointed at Hikaru and the others who had already gone far away, saying this.

"You guys go take care of that over there, I need to go hunt some new prey."

Hunter J noticed that his initial target had run far away. It seemed that his initial goal was too clear, which made the other party wary. However, judging from the situation, the other two unrelated people should be the companions of this kid. Why would they abandon this kid and leave because of danger when they were supposed to be companions?

It's ridiculous.

Hunter J let out a sneer. As the jeep drove away, Hunter J had a moment to mock Ash, saying, "How do you feel about your companions abandoning you like this?"

"Huh?" Ash asked in confusion. "Leaving me behind? That's not it. After all, I was the one who let them go first. I'm sorry to say that, but I don't think I'll lose to you."

"..."

Hunter J's mocking expression was now clouded with gloom.

I?

Losing to a brat like you?

Are you kidding me?

Hunter J herself has lost count of how many prey she has defeated and captured in all these years of being a Pokémon hunter. In her eyes, Pikachu can indeed be considered excellent, but that's just excellent; it's far from being top-tier.

She was confident she could capture even a legendary Pokémon, let alone such a tiny Pikachu.

"Just keep indulging in your fantasies."

Hunter J had initially felt a bit playful, but Ash's words had completely ruined her mood. She slowly raised her left arm, seemingly about to do something, but the machine hanging on her left arm gave off an unpleasant feeling.

Even Cynthia would probably suffer a great loss if she didn't understand Hunter J's device, right? Ash also suffered the same loss when he first fought Hunter J, but now everything is different.

"Aim at the device in her hand and use the Leaf Blade with all your might!"

"?!"

Ash's words stunned Hunter J for a moment, but the Turtwig that Ash had sent out earlier gave her no time to breathe. A bunch of sharp blades flew out from the top of the Turtwig's head, heading straight for the device in Hunter J's hand.

"Click—"

The leaf-shaped dagger slashed across Hunter J's arm. Although her coat was specially made to withstand some external impacts, its protective effect against the sharp leaf-shaped dagger was obviously not as good as expected.

After the blades flew through the air, Hunter J's left arm jacket was ripped open in several places, and the device hanging on her wrist, which was unknown, also experienced a series of electric currents after being hit head-on by the flying blades. After a hissing sound that seemed to indicate a malfunction, black smoke began to emanate from its interior.

"Tsk."

After several failed attempts to restart the machine, Hunter J finally pursed her lips in frustration, the wrinkles under her eyes seemingly expressing her anger.

Who exactly are you...?

Hunter J took a step back without leaving a trace. Although neither the Pikachu in front of him nor the Turtwig that had just ambushed him were strong enough to attract Hunter J's attention, he felt a strange sense of unease about the person who commanded them, the seemingly ordinary trainer in front of him.

In the past, when he fought against so many excellent trainers, his petrification device was almost always successful. No one would have thought that his little machine could petrify living beings. They all trusted the strength of their Pokémon and felt that no matter how powerful his machine was, it was not as good as the power of their carefully trained companions.

The trust Pokémon trainers have in their Pokémon, and in the so-called bond they form, is often so absurd and laughable.

But this person...

"Don't be so surprised, right? After all, judging from your appearance, you must be a Pokémon Hunter, right?" Ash chuckled lightly, then pulled up the brim of his hat and slowly said, "I've also 'dealt' with Pokémon Hunters. Among all the villainous organizations, Pokémon Hunters are arguably the least deserving to be mentioned in the open. After all, other villainous organizations still have some ambition and are fighting for their ideals and goals, but what about the Hunter Organization?"

Ash closed his eyes, feigning deep thought, as if straining to recall something. Then, he suddenly clapped his hands and said:

"Ah! That's right! Pokémon hunters are a group of people who have no other skills and rely solely on technology purchased from others to attack and capture wild Pokémon, even those with trainers, in the most inhumane way!"

"you--"

Hunter J never imagined that this seemingly ordinary trainer could say such arrogant things when facing him.

Although Hunter J doesn't really have any sense of honor, she can't accept that a kid would completely negate all her past actions.
