Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

Ash could only attribute all these anomalies to having a champion-level mother.

Having such excellent parents, this ugly fish naturally had a higher starting point than other ugly fish.

All that's left is to use energy cubes to improve its appearance step by step, and then find a beautiful scale, and it should be able to evolve.

"Shōshī, it looks like dinner's almost ready, let's go over!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Ash and Dawn let the Feebas and Egg of Fortune play around after they had eaten, and then Ash and Dawn went to eat at a table about ten steps away.

This place was left to be looked after by the Swim-Weasel swimming in the river, and Bulbasaur was taking a nap here, so he could go eat without worry.

Seeing this, Ash turned around and, together with Dawn, prepared to walk to Brock's spot to eat.

"Pikachu~"

Before you've taken more than a few steps, Pikachu comes running over in a slightly flustered manner and skillfully jumps onto your shoulder to complain.

"Hey, you over there!!"

Before Pikachu could explain, an impolite voice came from behind them.

"What is it?" Ash replied impatiently.

From Pikachu's words, he roughly knew that the owner of the voice was the one who had made Pikachu panic.

What appeared before Ash was a boy with Pichu and Raichu, who uttered arrogant words:

"How about you trade your Pikachu for my Sweaty? I want to breed the world's strongest Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu combination. All I need now is a Pikachu!"

"Ah... this is really a trainer who's like a fanatic!" Hikari couldn't help but exclaim at the strange target.

"Heh, dream on!" Ash directly refused, rolling his eyes.

"How about I add Magnemite and Magneton in exchange?"

Despite the opponent adding more chips, Xiao Zhi remained unmoved.

"Sigh, really, is this not even possible?"

Seeing Ash's cold refusal, the boy knew he couldn't force the issue and could only settle for second best.

"How about we have a match? I'll show you the power of the world's strongest Raichu!"

The other party changed their gentle attitude and, like the Raichu beneath their feet, became arrogant.

"Pikachu, let's go!"

Ash turned to look at Pikachu on his shoulder, preparing to let it deal with this troublesome home on its own.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu jumped to the ground on all fours, its red electric pouch flashing with golden electricity and crackling.

"Raichu, Iron Tail~"

"Pikachu, Iron Tail~"

The two engage in a head-on confrontation using the same skills.

"Hmph, how dare you challenge my world's strongest Raichu..." The other party couldn't help but smile contemptuously upon seeing Pikachu's actions.

To dare to compare strength with his Reju, isn't that just asking for trouble?

Then, the next second, Raichu's scream slapped him in the face.

In a clash between two Iron Tail Pokémon, Raichu was completely overwhelmed and instantly defeated by Pikachu, lying in a large crater on the ground.

"how come?"

The other person collapsed to their knees before Raichu, unable to accept the outcome.

Ash, meanwhile, grabbed Dawn and, ignoring the distraught boy, went to prepare a meal.

Pikachu is now incredibly powerful; defeating Raichu in one hit would be no problem at all.

"嘁~"

Under a large tree, Shinji watched the black-haired boy carrying Raichu away, and snorted disdainfully, seemingly mocking the boy's overestimation of his abilities.

Meanwhile, he looked at Ash, who was happily eating, with a rather solemn expression. After taking a few more glances, he headed towards the next town.

Shinji had no intention of challenging Ash, because he knew that his strength was far from sufficient at the moment.

……

After finishing their meal, Xiaozhi and his two companions didn't rest for long; instead, they quickened their pace and hurried on their way.

The reason was that Lake Ritsushi, the venue for the Mikkuri Cup, was not far from here, and the three planned to speed up their journey and arrive before dark.

After an afternoon of travel, the three of them arrived at the venue of the Wallace Cup and then went to the Pokémon Center to register for accommodation.

Despite arriving at Lake Lizhi a while early, the Mikuri Cup was incredibly popular, with the entire Pokémon Center filled with coordinators who came to participate.

"Ugh, I'm so tired~"

In the lobby, Xiao Guang, holding the keys, leaned weakly against a chair and called out.

"There's nothing we can do, Mr. Michael's popularity is just that terrifying!" Xiao Gang comforted him with a smile.

This was only because the three of them arrived early, so each of them could get a room.

If they had arrived any later, they probably would have had to spend the night in the wild.

Xiao Zhi agreed and was about to say a few words of comfort to Xiao Guang.

Unexpectedly, Joey's voice suddenly came over the radio, saying that there was a phone call from Cheap Peak City.

Chapter 151 The Arrival of Haruka, the Hoenn Dancer

“Mr. Xiaozhi, right? Your phone is over there~” Joey pointed to the second phone on her right.

Perhaps noticing that Dawn was standing next to Ash, she winked playfully and added, "It's Hoenn Dancer calling!"

Nurse Joy emphasized the words "Hoenn Dancer," which immediately alerted Dawn, who was standing next to Ash.

Sensing Nurse Joy's cunning, Ash's expression shifted subtly. He glanced at Dawn and quickly walked towards the telephone.

"Am I really that fierce?"

Ash's hasty departure made Dawn stomp her foot, and her little thought of going up to check on him vanished.

After glancing at Xiaogang heading to the restaurant to get some food, Xiaoguang decided to give Xiaozhi some private space and get him a meal as well.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhi turned on the switch, and a figure instantly appeared on the black screen.

"Long time no see, Ash, and Pikachu too~"

Before me stood a girl with pigtails, her golden hair tied back with a light blue headscarf, and her clothes were mainly in environmentally friendly colors (green).

"Long time no see, Haruka~"

Seeing the smiling face he hadn't seen in so long, Ash couldn't help but smile back.

The girl in front of him was Haruka, his travel companion from Hoenn.

Compared to before, Xiaoyao changed her headscarf from red to green, and her clothes were also changed to green.

"Pica~"

Pikachu happily waves its hands to greet the rare companion it has encountered.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Yao, how can you be so sure I'm at Lizhi Lake?"

Not long after arriving at the Pokémon Center, May called. What a coincidence!

"Hmph, it's all thanks to Ash participating in so many Contests, giving me the chance to witness his dazzling performances in my spare time~"

Xiao Yao raised her head, revealing her white little tiger teeth, looking like she was about to tell me the truth.

"It's a Twintail..." Ash explained to May the reasons for participating in the competition.

"Oh, I see~" Xiaoyao suddenly realized.

She explained why Ash suddenly participated in the Contest of Fame: it turned out to be because of the mischievous Apokolips.

"Cuckoo~"

Just then, a purring sound came from Pikachu on the other side of the screen, interrupting May's thoughts.

This made the atmosphere between the two awkward.

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu scratched its head sheepishly.

"This... Ash, have you and Pikachu not had dinner yet?" As a seasoned foodie, May certainly knew what that voice meant.

"Yes~" Ash explained somewhat awkwardly, "Because there were so many coordinators coming to participate in the Wallace Cup, we only just finished registering everyone for accommodation~"

So it's understandable that Pikachu's stomach is growling with hunger.
