Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

After all, the emergence of the Fairy type suddenly made it the most threatening type to the Dragon type.

Despite having many thoughts in his mind, Ash's actions remained unaffected.

I picked up my drawing board and started sketching the lazy, backstroked clam, beginning my mechanical work.

With his artistic background from his previous life, a vivid image of a Cloyster quickly appeared on Ash's drawing board.

"Xiao Zhi, you draw much faster than me!"

Xiao Guang was halfway through drawing when he discovered that a lifelike Cloyster had already appeared on Xiao Zhi's drawing board.

Although they started work at the same time, they couldn't compare to Xiaozhi in terms of either quality or efficiency.

Compared to the mediocre cherry blossom fish in his hand, this immediately made Xiaoguang's previously acceptable work seem crude and shoddy.

"It's nothing~" Ash said with a mischievous smile, glancing at Dawn who was feeling resentful, and then started to teach her, "Come on, I'll teach you step by step!"

As the girl stared in astonishment, Ash grabbed her hand and gave her some tender instruction, making her blush instantly.

In an instant, the sketching assignment took on a new look, creating a pinkish landscape on the lake.

Chapter 171 Ghostly Appearance, Test of Courage

With Ash's hands-on guidance, Dawn successfully completed a lifelike portrait of a cherry blossom fish.

Although the process was somewhat ambiguous, the result was good.

After completing their research report, the two did not return immediately.

Instead, they glanced around at the Water-type Pokémon, exchanged a knowing look, and began rowing their small boat to play with the Pokémon on the water.

The observation period lasted until evening, finally ending the day's observation time.

It's worth mentioning that there were always glowing green spots in one particular cave.

Driven by curiosity, Ash and Dawn successfully spotted the neon fish that could emit light in the show.

When it came time to submit the experiment report, the two handed the report they were holding to their assistant.

As announced by the doctoral assistant, the blue group, where Kaoping was located, won first place, while the red and green groups finished the day's class in second and third place respectively.

"Ah, we're not number one!" Xiao Guang looked dejected upon hearing the result.

After all, I had always been in first place, so suddenly getting second place felt a bit strange.

"It's okay, we're still in first place overall!" Ash smiled and reassured everyone after glancing at the Red Team's total score.

Writing research reports is not their forte, so it's normal for them to lose compared to knowledge-based exams.

"Ok!"

Xiao Guang glanced at the bespectacled man next to him and understood the same principle, so he rationally concealed his little emotions.

"Alright, let's go have dinner. I heard there's a new menu tonight!"

"Okay~"

"Coming~"

Xiao Gang waved to the two of them, and they quickly got to work. Then the three of them headed towards the cafeteria.

After dinner, the three returned to their respective dormitories, washed up, and prepared to rest for the next day.

……

The next day, as the golden sunlight shone on the ground, a new day began.

The three of them were already sitting in the classroom, listening to Dr. Yamanashi's lecture on the radio.

The content involves discussions about Ghost-type Pokémon.

Because of the unique nature of Ghost-type Pokémon, Professor Yamanashi singled it out for explanation, allowing students to better understand the various aspects of Ghost-type Pokémon in terms of diet, body structure, and personality.

This is something far beyond attributes, and it is very necessary to make trainers aware of their specialness.

Therefore, after the course, a small adventure was organized for two people to retrieve their medals from the mountaintop and return to school at night.

A series of Ghost-type Pokémon will be set up at night to help students better understand them.

"Wow, this sounds like a test of courage, it sounds pretty interesting!" Xiao Guang clapped his hands, looking eager to try it out.

"..."

Ash was quite surprised by Dawn's performance. He thought it was rare to see a girl who wasn't afraid of Ghost-type Pokémon.

However, if he remembers correctly, there seem to be real ghosts on this mountain. I wonder if Hikaru will be scared?

Ash smiled maliciously, staring at Hikari's face.

"Ash, what are you laughing at?" Dawn asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing!" Xiao Zhi replied immediately and meticulously.

Time quickly came to 7 p.m., and with the doctor's assistant's announcement, the adventure—that is, the test of courage—officially began.

Among the three, Brock and another timid boy from the Red Team team teamed up and took the lead in the first five minutes, followed by Ash and Dawn teaming up to enter the fray.

The two soon arrived at the mountain. Since it was night, it was the perfect time for ghosts to appear, and the whole environment was eerie.

Under the bright moonlight, a cold wind occasionally blew by, making one feel a chill on their neck.

However, despite the dark environment, Xiao Guang was not afraid at all; instead, he looked around with anticipation.

"Hikari, aren't you scared?" Ash asked curiously.

Isn't it perfectly normal for a girl to be afraid of ghosts?

"Afraid? Afraid of what??" Xiao Guang looked puzzled, then asked nonchalantly, "Ash, are you talking about Ghost-type Pokémon?"

"...No!" Seeing that Dawn wasn't afraid of ghosts, Ash immediately shook his head in denial and didn't ask any more questions.

"I wonder what kind of Ghost-type Pokémon I'll encounter next!"

Although Ash's question was strange, Dawn didn't suspect anything and continued to observe her surroundings, hoping to see the Pokémon around her.

After walking for a long time, Ash sensed three mischievous creatures lurking in the bushes ahead through his aura, and immediately led Dawn towards those bushes.

"Xiao Guang, there seem to be three guys here who are about to do something bad!"

Led by Ash, the two slowly walked towards the bushes. As they got closer, three dark figures suddenly darted out.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"Kou Jie~"

"Wow~"

A black sphere surrounded by gas, a purple creature with its body and claws separated, and a chubby little guy with a dark purple body.

"Wow, it's Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar!"

Xiao Guang wasn't frightened by the three mischievous kids who suddenly appeared; instead, he looked at them curiously.

The three mischievous kids, who had opened their mouths wide in a threatening gesture, looked at each other, seemingly wondering why their intimidation hadn't worked.

"We've met our match!" Ash couldn't help but smile as he looked at the silly, clueless group.

Ghost-type Pokémon, with Gastly and its family as examples, are known for their love of scaring Pokémon and people.

It's a pity I ran into Xiaoguang today; after all, girls who aren't afraid of ghosts are rare.

When the three guys saw that Dawn and Ash had no expression, they immediately put on a terrifying face, and their appearance gradually became "ferocious".

“You guys are so cute!”

Xiao Guang petted Gengar, Gastly, and Haunter, praising their energetic performance with a smile.

"Huh, why can't I touch them?" But when he tried to touch Gastly and Haunter, he found that he had no sense of touch.

"Their bodies are made of gas, so it's normal that you can't touch them!" Ash explained at the right moment.

"Kou Jie~"

Seeing that Ash and his companion didn't react, the Gastly family walked away disappointed and disappeared from their sight.

"Ash, what's wrong with them?"

"I probably didn't scare anyone, they're probably a little annoyed!"

"Haha~ I'm really sorry!"

Hearing this incredibly bizarre reason, Hikari chuckled, then continued following Ash towards the mountaintop.

The higher you go up the mountain, the more Ghost-type Pokémon you encounter.

Among them are Sableye, Shadowdoll, Cursed Doll, Night Skull, Dreamweaver, and other spirits, making for a very diverse range of species.

When Xiao Guang saw these Ghost-type Pokémon appear, he was very happy to go up and greet them one by one, behaving unusually boldly.

However, as they reached the end of the journey, the two finally arrived at the mountaintop and received their competition medals.

Chapter 172 The Night Demon, the Ghost Retreats

"Wow, we've reached the summit so quickly! I didn't even feel it!" Xiao Guang stepped forward to take the medal, then sighed with emotion.
