Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

At the same time, he turned his head to look at Xiaoguang next to him, but found that the other party had not changed at all.

"What's going on? One or two of them aren't following the script!" Xiao Gang muttered to himself.

Among these one, two, three, it seems that apart from him, there are hardly any normal people?

"Xiaoyao, be careful on the road!" Xiaoguang stepped forward with heartwarming words of blessing.

"Okay, I won't lose next time we meet!" Xiaoyao replied meaningfully.

"Of course, I won't lose either!"

Although the harmonious atmosphere between the two girls was a good thing, Xiao Gang always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't say it out loud.

All I could do was quickly offer my best wishes, "Xiao Yao, have a safe journey!"

"Thank you, Xiaogang~" Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

"Woo~"

With a buzzing sound, the cruise ship heading to Chengdu was about to set sail. Seeing this, Xiaoyao quickly waved goodbye to the three of them.

"Everyone, I'm leaving now. See you again someday!"

"Wait, Haruka!"

Just as May was about to board the cruise ship, Ash quickly called out to her.

"I almost forgot to give you this!" Ash stretched out his hand, revealing two large and one small round gemstones in his palm, the smaller one even being made into a necklace.

"these are……"

Looking at the transparent necklace and the large gemstone with fiery red and green markings, Xiaoyao was a little puzzled.

"This necklace is the Evolution Key Stone, and the other two are the Blaziken Mega Evolution Stone and the Venusaur Mega Evolution Stone!" Ash patiently explained, seeing May's confused expression.

"By equipping the trainer and Pokémon with the corresponding stones, and relying on the bond between you, you can achieve a higher level of evolution!"

"Mega evolution?" Xiaoyao was still confused.

"You can check the news in the Kalos region for this!" Because of the time constraint, Ash didn't explain further.

However, news from the Kalos region still includes images of some unknown Pokémon, allowing us to gain a brief understanding of them through such news.

"Carlos region!" Haruka repeated to herself, secretly memorizing the region.

"Take it. You happen to have Blaziken and Venusaur, so you can't let these two items go to waste!"

"Thank you!"

Seeing Ash's expression, May didn't refuse and smiled as she accepted the necklace with the Key Stone and the two Mega Stones.

Looking at the precious item in her hand, Xiaoyao was deeply moved, after all, this was the first time the other party had given her a gift.

She carefully placed the two Mega Stones, then put on the necklace with the Evolution Key embedded in it, and asked Ash with a hint of shyness, "How is it? Does it look good?"

"nice!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Haruka, who was expecting a fragrant breeze, rushed into Ash's arms, completely ignoring the surprised expressions of Brock and Dawn.

"Again, everyone!"

Before Ash could react, May ran onto the ship with a flushed face, waving her hands amidst the roar of the cruise ship, and slowly disappeared into the sunset.

"It's so fast!"

Watching Ash and his friends gradually disappear, May couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but looking at the necklace around her neck, she couldn't help but smile.

It was truly unexpected that Xiao Zhi, that blockhead, would actually give her a necklace.

……

Meanwhile, the three who saw May off prepared to return to the Pokémon Center, enjoy lunch, rest for the night, and head to Marshland City near Lake Risshiden.

On the way to the Pokémon Center, Ash looked at Dawn, whose expression remained as calm as ever, with some confusion.

He thought that after seeing his intimacy with Xiaoyao, she would be jealous like a normal girl.

Looking back now, it seems I was overthinking things. Xiao Guang didn't have that many thoughts at all, or perhaps he was keeping them to himself and not showing them.

In fact, Xiaoguang did have similar thoughts.

But when she thought about how Ash had hugged and cuddled her a few days ago, Dawn couldn't feel a single bit of envy towards Haruka.

"Xiao Guang, here, I've also prepared a gift for you!"

However, Ash didn't know what Dawn was thinking. Instead, he picked up a necklace of the same style and handed it to May.

Regardless of whether the other party had similar intentions, Xiaozhi decided to take the initiative.

As the saying goes, it's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality. Regardless of what Xiao Guang thinks, the other party should just wear the same necklace.

"Wow, Ash, you have the exact same necklace!"

When Xiao Guang turned around and saw what Xiao Zhi was holding, she shouted excitedly, her beautiful blue eyes revealing a longing expression.

Xiao Gang had a similar thought, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhi to have such a plentiful supply that he could even give away a second necklace.

Ash went to great lengths to treat everyone equally.

"Here you go~"

Seeing Xiaoguang's performance, Xiaozhi knew he had done the right thing, and then handed the necklace to her, along with a pink Mega Evolution.

"Whose Mega Stone is this?"

After putting the necklace around her neck, Hikari glanced at the pink Mega Stone and asked in confusion.

Her Curly Ears refused to evolve, Piplup also had no intention of evolving, and Patchles was even less inclined to.

The only possibility is...

"It's the Mega Stone of Almost-Doll!"

Sure enough, the answer was exactly what Xiao Guang had guessed.

"I originally planned to give it to you after you and the other dolls had built a deep enough bond, but now it's happening earlier!"

Of course, the main reason is that the Charizard and the others are quite powerful; they've earned tens of thousands of gold coins these days.

That's how you can exchange for two evolution keys and three super evolution stones.

"Thank you, I will keep it safe and work with Almost Doll to meet the conditions for Mega Evolution ahead of schedule!"

Xiao Guang happily finished removing the necklace around his neck and the Mega Evolution Stone of the Almost Doll in his hand.

In the end, she followed May's example and decisively went up to give Ash a hug.

Then, amidst Xiaogang's envious expression, the three of them headed towards the Pokémon Center.

Chapter 161 Wetlands City, Bulbasaur's Gym Battle

Wetland City is a large city built on the edge of a swamp, and its initial purpose was to protect the vast wetlands of the region.

However, due to its location on a plain and other factors, the economy has grown very rapidly in recent years, and the city has become prosperous.

Today, Ash and his friends, who started from Lake Risshiden, arrived at the nearby Marshland City after a two-day journey.

Because the two places were not far apart, the three of them quickly arrived at this wetland city.

Under normal circumstances, it should not take more than two days.

But who told them to run into a nasty frog festival in a small town near the wetlands?

This is a festival held specifically to protect the species, as the large wetlands are suitable habitats for elfin creatures such as the scoundrel frog.

At this celebration, Brock's Croagunk won the championship, while Ash managed to drive away the Team Rocket trio who wanted to cause trouble.

It's worth mentioning that Musashi seems to have captured a Mekayangma, replacing the released Poisonous Butterfly.

As for why he noticed it, it was because of the unfamiliar name that appeared in the gold coin notification sound.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but grin.

He only abandoned the strange idea in his mind when he arrived at the entrance of the Marshland Gym.

Pushing open the door, a muscular man with a bare upper body and wearing a blue mask appeared before everyone.

The other party was none other than Yoshinobu, the head of the Marshland Gym.

"A challenger so early in the morning? I'm delighted! Let's have a Pokémon battle!"

The owner seemed extremely easygoing. He only hesitated for a second before walking ahead and leading the way to the battlefield.

"This curator is so strong! But he's too flashy!"

Looking at Ji Xian, who was as big as a man but shirtless, Xiao Guang couldn't help but sigh.

"I am Yoshinobu, the gym leader of the Marshland Gym. You must be the challenger!"

The other party was unaware of this, and instead stood in the position of the gym leader. Yoshino glanced at Ash in the middle of the three and shouted loudly.

“Yes!” Ash slowly walked to the challenger’s position and replied, “I am Ash, the challenger from Pallet Town!”

"Then, the match between Gym Leader Yoshinobu and Pallet Town's challenger Ash shall officially begin!"

After the referee read out the rules of the 3V3 game, he promptly announced the start of the match.
