Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

When she returned to the Grand Contest, she found herself overwhelmed by a strange sense of tension, and she could no longer maintain the composure she had shown during her first Grand Contest.

They were afraid that the skill performance would be too flashy and overshadow Piplup's body, thus failing to showcase Piplup's own charm.

"What do we do? What do we do? This doesn't seem like there's no problem at all!"

As a jumble of chaotic thoughts flooded her mind, Xiao Guang, dressed in a pink dress, stomped her feet in frustration, completely at a loss for what to do.

Just as the girl was extremely anxious, a familiar voice came, and just by hearing that voice, Xiao Guang's tense heart calmed down a little.

"Ash, what brings you here!"

Xiao Guang quickly turned around and met the smiling boy's eyes, which calmed him down.

"I was just worried about you, you little idiot, so I came to keep you company!" Ash replied as he walked up to the girl.

"Humph!"

Although the way Xiaozhi was addressed was quite strange, the girl didn't care; her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and joy.

"Boom~"

"Ouch, what are you doing!"

As Xiao Guang chuckled, Xiao Zhi suddenly grew a big head on his smooth forehead.

The girl cried out in pain, and the other person then put his arm around her shoulder and pressed her down into a chair.

"Don't you even look at yourself? Your hair is really ugly!" Seeing the girl's aggrieved expression, Ash said unmoved, while also criticizing and fixing Dawn's hairstyle.

Being nervous is understandable, but what's with the horn growing on its head?

Do you think you're some neighbor's Lan? Trying to copy her with gravity-defying bangs?

"A little bit~"

When Ash handed him the mirror, Dawn discovered that it was indeed as Ash had said.

But the girl was still a little defiant, sticking out her tongue as she chased after him.

"Thank you so much, Ash!"

Shaking her newly tied hair, Hikari turned her gaze back to the smiling Ash and thanked him shyly.

"Oh, that's too polite!"

These words immediately broke Xiao Guang's shyness, and he shouted out boldly.

"Then please enjoy my performance; I'm sure I'll win this time!"

"Keep going! I believe you can do it!"

With him leading the performance and after repeated viewings, passing the first round of review should be no problem at all.

"Well, anyway, I still have to say thank you!"

Xiaozhi's unconditional trust deeply moved Xiaoguang, who didn't know how to repay him.

If you think about it carefully, you can reply with a "thank you".

"Miss Xiaoguang, please get ready to go on stage to perform!"

As the two locked eyes, a staff member approached and kindly offered a reminder.

"it is good!"

Hikari responded with a word of agreement, then turned and stretched out his hands toward Satoshi.

"Papa~"

Knowing the girl's feelings, Xiao Zhi gave her a high five, producing two crisp sounds.

"Ash, I'm going first!"

The girl waved and lifted her skirt as she headed towards the contestants' passage.

"Go for it! I'll be cheering for you along with Brock and Pikachu!"

With those words left behind, Ash watched the girl, now brimming with renewed confidence, depart.

Once the other person disappeared from sight, he immediately turned around and prepared to head to the audience seats.

But he found Jianwu, who looked defiant, standing right behind him.

"I really envy you, being able to leave with Hikaru!" Kengo said sourly.

In his opinion, Ash and Dawn became so close because they traveled together.

"This is fate!"

Realizing that Kengo's words had a hidden meaning, Ash didn't argue, left with those words, and departed.

Jianwu was left standing there with a complicated expression.

Chapter 130 Xiaoguang's Casual Ribbon Medal

"You're back so soon! I thought you'd stay there and have a good chat with Hikaru!"

When Xiaogang, who was sitting in the audience, saw Xiaozhi return, he couldn't help but give him a knowing look.

"Pica~"

Pikachu climbed onto Ash's shoulder and responded with a rather approving sound.

"No way, I just came back to keep you two good brothers company!"

Faced with Brock and Pikachu's teasing, Ash calmly responded and then turned his attention to the stage.

"hehe!"

"Pica~"

Xiao Gang and Pikachu rolled their eyes in unison, not daring to believe Xiao Zhi's nonsense, and then turned their attention to the stage.

"Bogarman, make your charismatic entrance!"

Wearing a pink dress, Dawn throws out a Poké Ball with bubble capsules attached, and amidst the falling blue bubbles, an adorable blue penguin makes its appearance.

"Bubble light!"

With its yellow beak open, Bogarman spins around, spraying blue bubbles that echo the bubbles created by the capsule stickers.

"Peck the drill!"

At the same time, it rotates its body and uses an upgraded version of the pecking attack skill - Pecking Drill - to pop all the surrounding bubbles in one go.

The water cannon, easily punctured, shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

This simple yet stunning performance instantly drew cheers from the audience, and Xiaoguang, regaining his confidence, gradually began to relax.

"Bogaman, Chaoxuan!"

"Po~ga~"

Bogarman's small body glowed with blue light, and a large whirlpool of water was formed.

And amidst everyone's bewildered gazes, it was tossed high into the air, its purpose unknown.

"Be patient!"

In just one second, the girl and Bogarman revealed the answer to everyone.

Piplup's body leaped lightly into the air, colliding directly with the freely falling vortex, and Piplup, using the skill of patience, found himself in the center of the vortex.

The dazzling white light stood out clearly against the blue water.

"Boga~"

At the same time, in the next second, the white light represented by Renren shot out from Piplup's body, breaking through the vortex around Piplup in one fell swoop.

Under the energy impact of Bogarman, Chaoxuan transformed into tiny water droplets, which shone like starlight under the sunlight.

Under the glow of crystal-clear water droplets, the main characters, Bogarman and Hikari, in the center of the stage, thanked the judges and the audience.

"Excellent, a very good performance!"

I like this!

……

Then, amidst the judges' praise and the audience's enthusiastic applause, Xiao Guang left the performance stage.

"It's a sure thing. Even if our performance doesn't make it into the top three, we'll definitely make it into the second round of auditions!"

Xiao Guang's performance impressed Xiao Gang. Although it wasn't outstanding, with veteran Bogaman on the team, the overall performance was definitely up to par.

"call!"

Seeing this, Ash finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he could roughly tell that Xiao Guang was very likely to advance this time, he didn't forget how much effort he had put into helping the girl.

Ayako, who had been silently cheering for the girl in front of the television, was also relieved for Hikaru.

As a mother, she witnessed every battle Xiaoguang fought.
