Chapter 94 This is my running buddy
After the competition, Ash came to meet up with his family and friends.
"Ash played exceptionally well in the competition. I never imagined that the boy who used to just stay home and work out every day would become so good at raising Pokémon."
After hearing Professor Oak's words, Misty carefully recalled Ash's methods of training Pokémon.
To train a Pokémon's defense, we'll give it a good beating and send its newly evolved Beedrill to challenge the Queen Bee.
He would jump off a cliff with Pikachu in his arms, then climb back up carrying the weight, and then keep scavenging wild Pokémon.
However, Ash's Pokémon did indeed not have any problems, and they all liked him quite a bit.
Moreover, his strength is quite good; perhaps this is Ash's unique talent.
"Well, Ash is indeed a very outstanding person."
[Ding! Xiaoxia: Affection +1]
[Congratulations on completing the Legendary Quest Series: The Mermaid of Hualan (VI): Increase Xiaoxia's Affection to 60]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Free Attribute Points +5; Skill: Water Cannon]
[Trigger a new legendary quest series: The Mermaid of Hualan (VII): Raise Xiaoxia's affection level to 70]
[Rewards: 2000 League Coins; 6 Free Attribute Points; Water-type Pokémon Battle Ticket]
Before they knew it, Xiaoxia's favorability rating had reached the next level.
"I'm embarrassed by all the praise."
But Xiao Zhi's face showed no embarrassment; instead, it was full of expressions that wanted more praise.
Unfortunately, Professor Oak did not grant Ash's wish and instead asked about other things.
"Now Ash has also made it into the top 16. If he wins the match the day after tomorrow, it will be a full-scale 6v6 battle."
"Are you ready with your Pokémon?"
"Of course." Ash's main force was already itching for a fight.
"That's good. As long as you want to switch to the Pokémon Lab, the teleportation slot will always be open."
Looking around, Ash realized someone was missing. "Speaking of which, where did Brock go? I just saw him in the audience!"
"Your friend? He ran towards that contestant, Kaoru, shouting something like 'Big sister, wait for me!'"
Hanako pointed out the direction where his opponent had left in the previous match.
"Xiao Gang is still the same old guy."
Leaving Xiaogang aside, Xiaozhi and the others prepared to eat together at the canteen in the athletes' village.
As soon as she arrived at the cafeteria, Hanako's mother took over the kitchen and quickly prepared a large, sumptuous meal, leaving the chefs speechless.
"Where is this lady from?"
"Ah, what have I been doing all these years as a chef!"
The canteen's chefs are all professional chefs invited by the alliance from all over the region, but now their moral compass is somewhat broken.
Hanako cooks incredibly fast and well, almost as if she's using "shadow clones."
After all, her cooking speed was honed since she was two years old.
After intense training, strong individuals experience a surge in appetite, and a large meal can instantly repair their damage—this is an ironclad rule of the world.
So Ash has been a big eater since he was a child.
Ah, you asked which world it is? Of course it's the Pokémon world! Or One Piece?
"Since I've come all this way, I shouldn't eat any junk food that has no nutritional value!"
She put down her standard motherly words, threw away the fried chicken in Xiaozhi's hand, and put her freshly cooked food on top.
Xiaoxia now greatly admires Hanako, thinking, "She's so strong! No wonder she raised a superhuman!"
Hanako's cooking skills are indeed better than the cafeteria chefs'; Ash only likes to come here because it's free.
He enjoyed the meal immensely, knowing it was made with his mother's love.
There was a slight mishap when we were leaving; the elevator malfunctioned halfway through its journey.
Seeing the elevator suddenly lose power, Xiao Zhi originally wanted to break through the top and then jump out of the elevator shaft with everyone.
But a boy wearing a green hat who was traveling with him in the elevator stopped Ash.
"Excuse me, could you lend me your Pikachu?"
He disconnected the elevator's power cord and attached it to Pikachu's cheek, and surprisingly, the elevator started moving again.
"He's an electrical engineer."
After they came out, Ash and the boy hit it off immediately.
"Interested in joining an organization that loves tinkering with gadgets?"
It's actually the Red Group. Ash has always been dedicated to improving the efficiency of Pokémon energy utilization.
This boy has a natural talent for adjusting the elevator's power cord to the voltage suitable for Pikachu with his bare hands.
"I'm sorry, but I'm actually a Pokémon Trainer and I'm currently participating in the Pokémon League Tournament, so I can't accept your offer."
The boy refused very decisively.
"In the League Tournament, I'm also a Pokémon Trainer. I just won the fourth round and entered the top 16."
Ash wasn't disappointed; in fact, his liking for the boy increased even more when he heard that the boy was a trainer.
"What a coincidence! Hello, my name is Ahong, and I look forward to meeting you on the field!"
The two clasped hands again.
"Hiroshi is the rival who defeated Ash at the Indigo League."
When Xiaozhi heard the other person's name, he remembered.
Although he often forgets some trivial things, he remembers this one very clearly.
The other party also has a Pikachu named Rein, and in terms of strength, it's about the same as Ash from the original series.
Ash is already looking forward to meeting his opponent in the tournament. Now he really wants to see how much stronger he is than before.
After saying goodbye to Hiro, Ash turned around and prepared to head to the athletes' village to rest.
"Ash, Ash, something terrible has happened!"
Just then, Xiao Gang rushed over, and Xiao Zhi wondered why everyone around him seemed to love saying something terrible had happened.
"It's too late, Xiaogang. We've already finished eating."
After the meal, Xiaoxia accompanied Hanako shopping, while Professor Oak went to attend the League meeting.
When Xiaogang ran over, only Xiaozhi, who was going back to the athletes' village to rest, was there.
"No, not that one—Xiaoxia isn't here either? That's great news."
"What exactly happened?"
"Let me tell you, Xiaozhi, your past emotional debts have come back to haunt you."
"There's a really pretty girl with a great figure standing at the entrance of the athletes' village right now. She says she's your 'running buddy'."
"What a bold girl! How dare you say that! You're so mean, Xiaozhi, I've been waiting for you!"
"What?" You can't just say that.
Damn it, I should never have made that kind of joke with Natsume.
Xiao Gang poked Xiao Zhi's shoulder with a mischievous grin. "Tell me honestly what your relationship is. If Xiao Xia sees this, she'll tear you apart."
"Is that girl tall and has long, straight black hair?" Xiao Zhi asked one last time to confirm.
That's right.
That confirms it's Sabrina. She called Ash every day during his competition.
And he kept saying that he wanted to come to the scene to cheer for Xiaozhi whenever he had free time, but I didn't expect him to actually come now.
Of course, they couldn't wait to reunite after so long, so Ash sprinted towards Sabrina's location.
"Hey, Ash, wait for me!"
When Ash arrived at the athletes' village, Sabrina was still waiting there.
Many people around her were watching her curiously from afar, but Naz would always have an icy expression when she was in front of strangers.
Her beautiful face was quite eye-catching, but no one dared to approach her and strike up a conversation.
"Naza, I'm here!"
When Sabrina saw Ash running over, her expression immediately softened.
But instead of a hug, Ash was met with a familiar shock of superpowers.
Ash immediately stopped and used his Aura to retaliate.
It's the same old clash of red and blue "Conqueror's Haki" again.
The trainers who had been secretly watching suddenly felt a terrifying shock and were immediately scared away.
"You've become stronger." Sabrina withdrew her attack.
[Ding! Sabrina: Affection +1]
Ash's Aura Power is now at its maximum level, and Sabrina can only manage a draw against Ash even when she uses all her psychic powers.
"How did you get here?"
He took Natsume's hand in his past life, and the brief exchange of abilities quickly dispelled the slight awkwardness between them.
"I left the gym to my parents and used Teleport to quickly travel from Saffron City to Indigo Plateau."
With Ash by her side, Sabrina's expression immediately softened.
But I still have to say, superpowers are really useful.
Just then, Misty and Hanako also finished shopping and arrived at the entrance of the athletes' village, just in time to see Ash holding Sabrina's hand.
In Xiao Gang's mind, what followed was a fight between the two girls and his mother's accusations.
Then the sound of the kettle boiling rang out, and Xiao Zhi was decapitated.
"It's all the world's fault.jpg"
He closed his eyes, unable to bear watching any longer—
But nothing happened.
"Saria, you've come to cheer for Ash too!" Misty greeted Sabrina happily as she came over.
Hanako didn't have any objections.
The mother thought this when she discovered Xiaozhi's situation because she used to see Xiaoshige driving around with his girlfriends all the time.
"Oh, only two? The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is expected to be harmonious in the future!"
Xiaoxia, on the other hand, was unable to withstand the power of the muscular man's electric motor alone because it was too strong.
Now she desperately wants to get others involved to share her burden.
Xiao Gang was incredibly envious when he saw this.
"You're so strong! You're a true role model for men! Ash Ketchum, how can I become as strong as you!"
