On the field
The battle between Snorunt and Pichu can be described as a back-and-forth exchange of blows.
Even this seemingly stalemate between two noobs got the kids at summer camp excited, and they cheered for either Snorunt or Pichu.
"Snorunt! Go for it! You must defeat that yellow-skinned mouse!!!"
"You idiot, Ash! That's Pichu! Didn't we just see it a few days ago?"
Ash's loud shouts were particularly noticeable, and even Pichu, who was battling Snorunt, took a moment to glance at Ash.
As a result, Pichu wasn't paying attention and stepped on the ice block that Snorunt had just thrown, slipped, and fell to the ground.
Just as Snorunt was about to launch an attack while Pichu was falling, the ground trembled, interrupting Snorunt's attack plan, and Pichu took the opportunity to stand up again.
A 2.5-meter-tall Kangaskhan wandered into the backyard of the research institute from the forest on the outskirts of Pallet Town, frightening the children at summer camp who all hid behind Roy.

When Roy saw Kangaskhan, he didn't send his Pokémon to drive it away; he just told Misdreavus to be on guard.
He recalled that Ash's Pichu got lost and was eventually adopted by Kangaskhan's mother, living with the Kangaskhan family. Later, after evolving into Pikachu, it was afraid of becoming a burden to the Kangaskhan, so it voluntarily left them.
"Roar!"
Kangaskhan waved its claws at Pichu after seeing Pichu.
"Pichu!"
When Pichu saw Kangaskhan calling him, he also gave up his battle with Snorunt, and the two were considered to have fought to a draw.
Sure enough, Pichu is now living with the Kangaskhan family.
If Roy wasn't certain before, he can now be sure that this Pichu is the future Pichu God.
Pichu was about to make a face at Snorunt again, but Snorunt threw the Oran Berry at him, which Pichu instinctively caught.
"Snow!"
Pichu, having caught the Oran Berry Kangaskhan, realized he had misunderstood Snorunt. Not knowing how to apologize, he ran towards Snorunt and jumped straight into Kangaskhan's pocket.
Pichu jumped into Kangaskhan's mother's pocket, greeted the Kangaskhan beside it, broke Oran Berry in half, and gave one half to the Kangaskhan.
The other half was handed to the Kangaskhan mother who always treated him like her own child.
Mama Kangaskhan didn't refuse Pichu's kindness. She patted Pichu's round little head and accepted the Oran Berry from Pichu.
"Pichu..."
After learning what Pichu had done, Kangaskhan took Pichu out of its pouch, placed it on the ground, and nudged Pichu with its claws, saying, "Good children should admit their mistakes and correct them."
Pichu approached Snorunt, head bowed, looking as if he had done something wrong.
"Pichu, Pichu."
"Snow."
Snorunt generously forgave Pichu, and then looked at Roy.
Roy understood what Snorunt meant, and took out a bottle of Moomoo Milk with Sweet Honey that Snorunt usually drank from his Spatial Bracelet and handed it to Snorunt.
Snorunt stroked Pichu's drooping head and handed Pichu the Moomoo Milk it had been drinking, displaying the air of a big sister.
"Pichu??"
Smelling the sweet aroma emanating from the bottle of Moomoo Milk, Pichu couldn't help but drool. He couldn't believe it was for him, and he didn't even notice that Snorunt was patting his head.
"Pichu! Pichu!"
Happy Pichu hugged Snorunt and rubbed its face against Snorunt's little round hands.
Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Pichu and Snorunt have become friends again.
As Pichu left, it waved goodbye to Snorunt, its gaze then falling on Ash, who had been cheering Snorunt the loudest earlier.
Although the misunderstanding between him and Snorunt was cleared up, it was because of the other person that he fell down and almost lost the battle.
Don't let him catch you!
Watched by Roy and the other children at the summer camp, Kangaskhan, along with Pichu and Kangaskhan, left Professor Oak's backyard.
Roy didn't use Poké Ball to catch the baby Pichu God, nor did he intend to. Pichu God only counts as Pichu God when it's with Ash, Pichu God Roy also has his own story with his Ghost type Pokémon.
Roy believed his story was no less compelling than Ash's.
"Snow..."
Back in Roy's arms, the little green tea felt a little guilty. Roy had put so much effort into raising her, yet in her first battle, she couldn't even defeat a wild Pichu, only managing a draw.
After learning about Snorunt's troubles, Roy offered some advice:
"It's okay, you've already done a great job. I'm not just trying to comfort you, you really have."
"Snow?"
Snorunt's eyes held a hint of doubt. Was she really... amazing?
It's already quite good that my Snorunt can fight Pichu God to a standstill. And since Pichu God can fight Legendary Pokémon to a standstill, it's equivalent to Snorunt being able to fight Legendary Pokémon Pokémon to a standstill as well!
No rubbing!
It was lunchtime again, Delia pushed her food cart and delivered lunch as usual, while also taking care of lunch for all the children at the summer camp.
"Delia -nee!"
"Mom!"
Before Roy could go to greet Delia, Ash immediately ran to Delia's side and complained about how he was a generation younger Serena.
"Mom! Why do you call Roy' little brother'? Roy is only 14 years old, and you're already..."
Seeing that the clueless Ash was about to reveal his age, Delia quickly covered Ash's mouth, silencing him before he could say anything.
How could she not know that Roy was only 14? Wouldn't it make her seem younger if he called her "sister"? What woman doesn't want to look younger?
"Roy, could you help everyone distribute today's bento boxes? Ash and I have something to discuss."
"Um."
After saying Delia, Ash pulled Ash out.
Roy knew that Ash might be facing Delia's "motherly love" soon.
Sure enough, when he went back into the room, Ash no longer brought up the issue of seniority.
Although Ash was resentful after being lectured, he dared not say anything more and could only accept the fact that he was actually a generation younger than Serena.
During dinner, after learning that her son had heroically saved a damsel in distress the day before, Delia looked at Serena, whose leg was still wrapped in medical bandages.
Serena's well-behaved appearance has won Delia's heart. How wonderful it would be if she were her future daughter-in-law!
Furthermore, she noticed that Serena's gaze towards her son was strange, while Ash kept glancing at the Misdreavus floating in the air and the Snorunt in Roy's arms.
It still has to be her who takes charge.
"Serena, are you settling in well at summer camp? Is the food Auntie cooks good?"
"So... delicious."
"Would you like to be able to eat Auntie's cooking every day from now on?"
Delia's enthusiasm left Serena unsure how to respond, but Roy stepped in to defuse the tension between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Delia -nee, it's too early, way too early."
Is it early?
