Chapter 200: Subdue the Nonsense Tree
Ultimately, the first place in the National Park competition still fell into Ash’s hands, and Misty also caught a female Heracross in a corner of the park.
After bidding farewell to Casey, Ash’s group continued their journey towards Ecruteac City.
After passing through the National Park, the group was blocked by a wide river.
"There should be a bridge nearby."
Brock glanced at the map and then looked for the bridge’s location.
"Ah~"
"Misty, Brock, it seems we’ve arrived at a bit of an inopportune time, the bridge to cross the river is broken," Ash said.
"Let’s first ask where the other bridges are," Brock suggested.
The trio found a bridge repair worker who was responsible for measurements. Ash said, "Hello, excuse me, besides this bridge, where is the nearest bridge on this river?"
"The nearest bridge is upstream, about twenty kilometers from here," the worker replied. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Seeing that the bridge could not be repaired in a short time, Ash’s group had no choice but to head upstream.
The group hadn’t walked far when they saw an uncle fishing in the river.
Seeing a means of transport to cross the river, Misty immediately shouted, "Uncle, excuse me, can we rent your boat for a bit?"
"Yes, you can, but can you first let me see a Pokémon called Sudowoodo?" the uncle replied.
Misty looked at Ash in confusion, "Sudowoodo? Ash, do you know what kind of Pokémon that is?"
"I know a little. Sudowoodo is a Mimic Pokémon that likes to disguise itself as a tree. Its body structure looks very much like a tree, but it is actually a Rock-type Pokémon."
Ash knew they had triggered a side quest again, so he asked, "Hey, uncle, do you know where Sudowoodo appears? We’ll try to catch one and bring it over."
"Sudowoodo is on that mountain over there. As long as you bring Sudowoodo here, I can take you across the river!"
The uncle pointed to the large mountain nearby for Ash’s group.
Inside the bushes.
Team Rocket Trio, who had lost their hot air balloon due to an operational error, also heard the conversation between Ash’s group and the uncle.
"Did you hear that? It seems we can cross the river if we find Sudowoodo!" James said.
"And it’s a very rare Pokémon."
"That’s not the point, Meowth! Ash’s group also needs to cross the river. As long as we are faster than them and set up a trap on the other side, then Pikachu and all the Pokémon on Ash will be ours!"
Meowth had already envisioned the scene of their trap plan succeeding and presenting all of Ash’s Pokémon to Giovanni.
Before long, Ash’s group arrived in the mountain forest that the uncle had pointed out.
"This mountain forest is so big, where do we even look for Sudowoodo?"
The dense trees made Misty’s head spin.
Ash pointed to a somewhat peculiar tree not far away and said, "Shh, Misty, I’ve already sensed Sudowoodo."
Misty knew Ash would have a way. "That’s great~"
Brock also looked in the direction Ash pointed but didn’t notice anything unusual.
Under Ash’s lead, the trio slowly approached the Sudowoodo disguised as a tree.

Sudowoodo felt a surge of pride seeing that Ash’s group approached without discovering its disguise.
It was at this moment that Psyduck spontaneously popped out of its Pokémon ball and locked eyes directly with Sudowoodo. freёwebnovel.com
"Pika?"
Psyduck held its head and looked at Sudowoodo in confusion, as if asking: Little buddy, why are you pretending to be a tree with a few branches?
Seeing that it had been discovered, Sudowoodo loosened the branches it was holding and then took off running.
Seeing Sudowoodo run away, Misty immediately gave Psyduck a good scolding.
"It’s okay, Misty. Psyduck didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, that Sudowoodo is quite interesting; just treat it as playing with it."
With Aura in him, Ash wasn’t afraid that Sudowoodo would run away at all.
"Ash, are you interested in that Sudowoodo?" Brock asked.
"Yeah." Ash nodded, but seeing the strange expression on Brock’s face, he asked uncertainly, "Brock, you wouldn’t also be?"
He had forgotten about this. This guy, Brock, is quite obsessed with Ground and Rock-type Pokémon, and Sudowoodo, with its tree-like appearance but Rock typing, perfectly hit Brock’s peculiar preferences.
However, he remembered that Brock would later find a Bonsly, so he could only reluctantly accept the Sudowoodo he had just seen, as Brock and Sudowoodo’s fate hadn’t arrived yet.
"Never mind, Ash, you catch it."
Brock did not intend to compete, after all, Ash was the first to discover that Sudowoodo.
Then Ash followed the Aura reaction directly to Sudowoodo. When passing through an area that had been cut down to only tree stumps, Ash’s group saw a man and a woman standing on the stumps, arguing about something.
When Brock clearly saw the woman’s face, he was immediately attracted.
"Beautiful lady, my name is Brock, may I ask..."
"Seriously, when will you get over this condition!" Misty helplessly stepped forward and pulled Brock away.
After some understanding, Ash’s group also learned that the man and woman were students from a nearby academy. They were researching ecology with Sudowoodo as their main topic, and they had a disagreement due to differing views.
"Research books have long stated that Sudowoodo is a Rock-type Pokémon, but this person doesn’t believe what’s written in the book."
"The book does say that, but someone has seen Sudowoodo use Fire-type moves, so I want to confirm it with my own eyes, but this person says I’m being unreasonable," Women said, somewhat annoyed.
"Sudowoodo is indeed a Rock-type Pokémon. As for it being able to use moves of other types, it’s because Sudowoodo has a move called Mimic," Ash explained.
"Mimic move? Let me check..."
Man A pulled out a book and started searching. Soon, he found the relevant description. "See? I told you the book was right!"
"Actually, when doing research, you can’t completely trust books, after all, some knowledge in books is from many years ago. The technological conditions and environment at that time all influenced the results, just like how the Fairy type was not defined, and Fairy type Pokémon were defined as other types.
If you have doubts, arguing is useless; if you have the conditions, go verify it."
Ash could tell at a glance that these two were just sulking.
Boom!
It was at this moment that an explosion sounded.
Ash immediately realized that Team Rocket’s three idiots were trying to catch Sudowoodo.
So he immediately ran in the direction of the sound.
When they arrived, they saw Sudowoodo brutally beating Arbok and Weezing.
On the ground was the wreckage of an unknown instrument, which was clearly the source of the sound.
After Arbok and Weezing both fell, Sudowoodo stared fiercely at Team Rocket Trio, scaring the three of them into scurrying behind Ash, "Ash, save us!"
"What in the world did you three idiots do? You actually made Sudowoodo angry," Misty said, exasperated, looking at the three idiots.
"It’s all Meowth’s fault! If it hadn’t blasted Sudowoodo in the face with a cannon, it wouldn’t have come to this." Jessie activated her passive skill of blaming others.
"What do you mean? It was clearly your own recklessness, Jessie, otherwise how could I have missed?" Meowth stated that it would not take the blame.
Seeing this, Ash knew that these three guys wouldn’t tell the truth, so he ignored them.
He pulled out Totodile and began the capture battle.
Under the dual suppression of type and level, Ash quickly caught Sudowoodo.
