Chapter 271 Xiao Zhi, what do you think of me?
"Bear Two, use Brick Break!"
It was another sunny morning, and Ash and his Pokémon happily began their new campaign to promote civility and spread warmth.
On the shore of this new island, he unexpectedly discovered a large group of gunfish.
These aggressive Pokémon are the local tyrants along this route.
Normally, every time a ship passes through this area, it has to prepare an extra portion of food and throw it into the sea as an offering to the gunfish before they will allow the ship to pass.
Of course, these gunfish are not entirely bandits. If the ships that have paid tribute are damaged, unable to move, or if someone is drowning, the gunfish will come forward to help.
This can be considered a different kind of mutually beneficial symbiosis.
But Ash, of course, knew nothing about it and didn't throw anything away as he passed by.
This was something that the group of gunfish, who were used to stealing things, could not tolerate.
"These outsiders are so rude!"
Yesterday, they followed Ash closely all the way to this island and stayed there all night without leaving.
Ash woke up in the warm, humid morning and only noticed them later when he was inexplicably splashed with water by a water gun while enjoying the breeze at the beach.
Immediately use Pikachu's electric fish attack on Wolf, and then release Bear Apprentice to finish it off.
"You bunch of dead fish, how dare you smear my face? You're tired of living!"
"Pikachu, unleash 100,000 volts and shock them!" Ash was feeling kind today, so he released some electricity into the sea to help the fish accumulate merit.
Unlike the noisy and chaotic morning on Xiaozhi's side, Xiaoxia and her friends on the other side were much more peaceful.
"Shoji is so noisy every morning."
Xiaoxia moved her slightly sore jaw and took out a bottle of milk to drink.
However, Serena kept blushing as she watched Xiaoxia drink milk, which puzzled Xiaoxia greatly.
"What's wrong, Serena? Do you want some too?"
Upon hearing this, Serena quickly shook her head; she was currently experiencing the most significant shock of her life in the past decade or so.
She wanted to ask the other person directly, but she didn't dare.
Xiaoxia, however, thought Serena was being too polite, and immediately took out another bottle from her backpack.
"Don't worry, there's plenty of milk. This is Moo Moo Milk, which is very nutritious."
"Very nutritious ————"
The education in that area in the Carlos region is almost the most comprehensive of all regions, and Serena has naturally heard that such things are very nutritious.
In order to avoid Xiaoxia noticing anything amiss, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the milk.
But for some reason, as she looked at the white milk in her hand, the scene from that morning kept uncontrollably flashing through her mind.
Even the way she drinks milk has unconsciously become the same as Xiaoxia's before, as if she herself has become the one doing that kind of thing.
"Oh dear!" Serena was startled by her own thought, and her face turned even redder.
"What exactly is the relationship between Ash and Misty?" Serena could no longer lie to herself that they were just ordinary partners.
After all, they had done that kind of thing—Serena looked at Xiaoxia cautiously.
At this moment, Xiaoxia was puzzled as to why Serena was raising her head so high while drinking milk, but seeing that the other party was enjoying it, she realized that Serena was drinking it well.
She then turned around and released her Pokémon to help Misty continue tidying up the camp.
Serena looked at Xia with a thoughtful expression. In her eyes, Xia was a beautiful and well-built outstanding girl.
She is also kind-hearted, always taking care of him like an older sister during their travels, and often accompanying Ash in Pokémon battles.
It would be normal for Ash to like Misty, but it was herself who was too oblivious and had been deceiving herself all along. Serena's heart sank.
At this moment, Xiaoxia asked Serena to help call Xiaozhi back. Serena, who was lost in thought and felt her chest tighten, nodded blankly.
She slowly walked towards Xiaozhi's location, but lost in thought, she tripped over a stone and fell heavily.
"Ouch!" Serena quickly suppressed her tears and checked her injury. Her knee was scraped, and a feeling of grievance welled up inside her.
"Why didn't anything good happen today!" The tears that she had been holding back finally burst forth.
Unexpectedly, a handkerchief was handed to her at that moment.
"Are you alright, Serena?"
Upon hearing the voice, Serena immediately looked up and saw Ash. He had heard Serena's voice and come running.
"It's okay—I'm fine, Satoshi."
"You're alright? You were crying, weren't you?"
Seeing that Serena seemed unable to stand up, Ash immediately knelt down gently to clean and bandage her wounds.
This scene reminded Serena of the first time she met Ash, and the image from then gradually overlapped with her current one.
As Ash grew up, he became even more handsome and charming, making Serena unable to take her eyes off him.
[Ding! Serena: Affection +5]
[The other person's favorability level has reached "60"!]
[Ding! Congratulations on triggering a new legendary quest "Childhood Sweethearts Never Lose in a Romantic Comedy (Part 7)": Please raise Serena's affection level to 70]
[Reward: Alliance ————]
[Ding! The rewards for the legendary quest "Childhood Sweethearts Never Lose in a Romantic Comedy" (Parts 1-6) will be reissued.]
[Ding! Resend failed!]
[Warning! Warning! According to relevant local laws, this object has not yet met the requirements — the task is temporarily suspended and cannot be triggered.]
Ash, who had just finished bandaging Serena's wounds and stood up, was puzzled by the strange notification sound that suddenly rang out.
"What does this mean?"
What does it mean! ?
[Ding! Due to an error, the following compensation rewards have been issued: Alliance Coins +4000; Free Attribute Points +4; Sweet Balls +2]
It was only then that Ash noticed that Serena's affection level had reached 60.
As expected of my childhood friend, having initial affection makes all the difference, even though the mission was shelved for some really ridiculous reasons.
But there was nothing she could do, since Serena hadn't received her Pokémon yet.
But they even added two sweet balls, which are really good stuff.
Ash didn't think much of it, took Serena's hand and pulled her up, preparing to turn around and go back to the camp.
But then Serena suddenly tugged at Ash's sleeve, and took a deep breath, mustering her courage.
"Ash—what do you think of me?"
When she asked the question, Serena was both shy and brave, though her voice was trembling.
She originally wanted to ask about the relationship between Ash and Misty, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this once she asked.
Serena is a very proactive girl, but she has always been rather timid when it comes to confessing her feelings directly to the person she likes.
The main reason was that what happened this morning had a strong impact on her, and coupled with what happened just now, Serena blurted out the question in a moment of impulse.
However, she regretted it as soon as she said it, and now she's so embarrassed that she wants to dig a hole and crawl into it.
After a moment of silence, a response finally came.
"I like Serena—" Ash slowly turned to face Serena, looking at her adorable blushing cheeks, and gave her a gentle smile.
"And everyone else too!"
When Serena heard Ash say he liked her, she looked up abruptly, her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly heard everyone else.
"Serena, you're a wonderful person, an important friend to me," Ash said, reflecting on Serena's place in his heart.
"Haha, that's true." Serena awkwardly scratched her head and quickly loosened her grip on Ash's clothes before running towards the camp.
"Serena!"
"what?"
"I would be very honored if you could be my wife!"
Upon hearing Ash's outburst, Serena's face instantly turned as red as a volcanic eruption, and she transformed into a steam princess with smoke billowing from her head.
"Eek—, what—what—we—we're talking about this too early, right—we should, we should—" Serena was now speaking incoherently.
[Ding! Serena: Affection +5]
Seeing that Serena's gloom had vanished, Ash immediately smiled, took her hand, and ran back to the camp together.
Sigh, men from the Kanto region who want it all are terrifying.
After returning to the camp, Ash immediately took Misty's hand again and they continued on their way.
Looking at Serena, whose face was flushed, next to Ash, Misty could roughly guess what had happened, even though she didn't quite understand.
He just smiled knowingly and rested his head on Xiaozhi's shoulder.
You are all my wings.jpg
The day after leaving Rock Blockade, Ash and his friends arrived at Scarborough Shoal.
It was quite an achievement for Ash and his friends to successfully check into the Pokémon Center without getting lost.
"That's awesome!"
Even Miss Joey here is happy for them.
"You are among the first trainers to arrive here among the contestants."
The reason why the circumnavigation of the Whirl Islands is considered a test is because the Pokémon here are completely different from those on the Orange Islands route.
The Pokémon in the Orange Islands are very peaceful and rarely approach humans on their own initiative.
This is why Ash always had to go to great lengths to find Pokémon to battle when he was traveling in the Orange League.
The situation is different on the Whirl Islands. The Pokémon here are much more aggressive and will even attack passing trainers and ships.
Therefore, being able to sail around the archipelago using only one's own Pokémon under such circumstances is something only a trainer with considerable skill could accomplish.
It is a challenging trial.
This was exactly what Xiaozhi wanted; large shipments kept arriving at his doorstep, making him incredibly happy every day.
Under these circumstances, Xiong Er finally defeated enough Water-type Pokémon and completed its own mission.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the new epic side quest "The Profound Meaning of Martial Arts!": Please guide your bear apprentice to experience the true essence of martial arts!]
[Mission Requirements: Raise your Kumamon's friendship level to the maximum and defeat 100 Dark or Water-type Pokémon.]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +5000; Attack +4; Defense +4; Rare Evolution Item: Water Scroll +1]
Although the little guy wasn't entirely satisfied, since Ash always kicked it into the sea during battles.
"Bah, ah!" (I won't forgive you without two jars of honey!)
Ash had no choice but to give the gluttonous creature the honey.
[Ding! Bear Apprentice (Bear Two): Affection +1; Intimacy +1]
After taking out the Water Scroll, Xiao Zhi immediately gave it to Xiong Er.
A flash of white light, and Xiong Er's body suddenly grew larger. In appearance, it was not much different from Xiong Da, except that the headband-like fur hung forward and downward, and the patterns around its head were white.
[Pokémon Name: Urshifu - Combo Style (Kumu)]
[Attribute: Fighting + Water]
【种族值：体力：100；攻击：130；防御：100；特攻：63；特防：60；速度：97；
Total: 550
【Ability: Invisible Fist (When using a contact move, it can completely ignore the opponent's defensive moves except for Dynamax Guard, and deal normal damage.)】
[Skills: Water Stream Combo: Brick Break; Bodybuilding: Water Jet —]
【Exclusive move "Water Flow Combo" (Power 25/Accuracy 100): A move honed to the pinnacle of the Water Style, a three-hit combo that flows like water, each strike guaranteed to hit a vital point.】
[Affection level: 82% (It feels happy when it's around you)]
【Affection Level: 74% (Give it honey, and you can pet its fur to your heart's content)】
[Introduction: Inspired by the ever-changing flow of a river, this combo-style martial art believes in winning through sheer numbers. Like a relentless current, it attacks opponents with a barrage of strikes. It is said that those with evil hearts will perish simply from its glaring, furious eyes.]
It's quite different from Xiong Da, but its signature moves are still pretty good and look like they'll be very useful.
Ash immediately dragged Misty along to the public battle arena at the Pokémon Center for a battle.
He wanted to test the evolved Xiong Er's strength immediately, and also give Xiao Xia some battle training.
"This is Xiong Er, who held a 20-game winning streak against you, and now it has evolved into a Martial Arts Bear Master. Xiaoxia, are you confident in facing it?"
"Don't underestimate me, my teammates and I work very hard!"
While Ash is grinding monsters, Misty doesn't slack off at all.
She always left Togepi in Serena's care, while she took her own Marill, Milotic, Starmie, Wartortle, and Poliwag.
They threw themselves into the great cause of battle, and during this time they received ample training.
Oh, you asked if we missed one, like that water-type Pokémon that can drown.
Xiaoxia could only pretend it didn't exist. After teaching it to swim for three months and still not getting it to learn, Xiaoxia was completely exasperated with it.
Psyduck usually eats and sleeps, and it's good enough if she doesn't cause any trouble.
Of course, Misty, being the world's most beautiful mermaid, wouldn't give up on it. After this period, Psyduck will face an even fiercer storm.
Psyduck: "Quack, quack, quack?"
Xiaoxia confidently sent out Poliwag in this battle, which is her most comfortable Pokémon.
"Go on stage, my darling."
But to everyone's surprise, the Poliwag that came out of the Poké Ball had a yellow, crown-like thing on its head.
"Isn't this my royal token?"
After winning the Pokémon Sumo Tournament, Ash rarely took it out and kept it in his bag.
Why did it suddenly appear on Xiaoxia's mosquito coil frog's head?
At this moment, Xiaoxia finally remembered that when she released her Pokémon to help pack her luggage, Poliwag seemed to have picked up something.
But she didn't notice at all and put the Poliwag along with that thing into the Poké Ball.
Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from the Poliwag's body, and it actually evolved under the influence of the King's Token.
Suddenly, a heavy rain began to fall on the field where Misty and Ash were battling, and a green Poliwag appeared on the battlefield.
"Oh no, how could this happen? I clearly wanted this kid to evolve into a fast-moving frog!"
The originally quiet Poliwag seems to have suddenly become lively after evolving into the Poliwag Queen, constantly clapping its hands with a smile.
For some reason, Xiaoxia had a bad feeling, as if she were facing Psyduck.
"quack?"
"Don't come out without my permission!" Xiaoxia immediately angrily recalled Psyduck into its Poké Ball.
"I didn't really use Xiaoxia's King's Certificate, so I just used it and that's it. But are you still planning to continue using Poliwag in battles?"
Since it has already evolved and there's no way to undo it, Xiaoxia can only continue using Poliwag in battle.
"Of course, isn't it perfect for the final evolved form to fight the final evolved form?" Xiaoxia retorted stubbornly.
Fortunately, Poliwag only became more lively and didn't actually cause any problems in battles like Psyduck did.
They would still obediently follow Xia's orders, using the bubbles and foam lights quite skillfully.
The moves she uses in the rain are quite powerful, and Xiaoxia has indeed improved a lot.
But in the end, Ash's Urshifu successfully captured him with a Water Stream followed by a Thunder Punch.
"Motor, Xiaoxia, you're still not mature enough."
"hateful!"
At that moment, Serena suddenly ran over excitedly.
"Ash, Misty, I found out someone in town knows the way to Water Seven!"
