Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

"Excellent jumping ability!" Melissa couldn't help but marvel at Curly's jumping ability after seeing Curly's performance.

"Freezing light!"

From this position, Curly Ears shot out a beam of ice-blue energy, aiming directly at the floating ball in mid-air.

This height allows for a better chance of hitting the float ball.

At this tricky angle in mid-air, Curly-ear's Freeze Ray hit Float directly, and the double damage caused Float to emit a low hum.

“Good idea!”

Melissa looked at the Floaty Ball that had been hit by the Freeze Ray in mid-air and sighed softly, but there was no panic on her face.

The reason why the Floatball was able to float in the air as soon as it was hit by the Freeze Ray was that it was still alive and well, as if the Freeze Ray had no power at all.

"How could this be?" Xiao Guang couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Xiao Guang, you did very well, but unfortunately my Float Ball is very strong!" Melissa smiled with her eyes narrowed.

"Strong mental thoughts!"

A pink light appeared on the Floatball, and then a beam of light landed on the Curly Ear that had just stood firm on the ground.

Caught off guard, Curly Ear was immediately knocked to the ground by the beam of light.

"Air Blade!"

A series of transparent wind blades struck the curly ear that had fallen to the ground.

Within just a few rounds, Curly Ear was rendered unable to fight by Float Ball, ending the match without any suspense.

"I lost!"

Xiao Guang retracted the curled ear with some frustration and said sullenly.

After all, he couldn't last more than a few rounds against Melissa, so heartbreak was inevitable.

"It's okay, you did very well," Ash said softly.

There is a gap between the two, so Xiaoguang's loss is not unjust.

"Melissa's trip seems to have been very fruitful, her strength is really impressive!" Brock said, looking at Ash beside him.

"Yeah, Ash, you'd better do your best in the gym battle!" Dawn nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, even though the opponent is strong, I'm not someone to be trifled with!" Ash replied confidently, looking at Melissa interacting with her Float Ball.

After all, he already had the answer in his heart.

"Pica~"

Pikachu waved in agreement.

Chapter 177 Xiao Guang almost had another accident

"Xiao Guang, good luck to Shenhe and the conference!"

"Will do!"

"Miss Melissa, I will visit the Fate Dojo again soon!"

"OK, welcome to your challenge!"

Outside the town, after spending the night together, the group bid farewell early in the morning, with Ash reminding Melissa of something.

After that, the three continued on to Shenhe Town, intending to arrive before the start of the competition so that Xiaoguang would have ample time to prepare.

Shenhe Town is an ancient town, but its long history is its defining characteristic, and it seems to be the earliest recorded town on this land.

This alone is not enough to make this town famous throughout the Sinnoh continent.

But no one expected that this small place would give birth to this year's Sinnoh champion—Cynthia.

From that moment on, Shinwa Town began to come into the view of more people as the hometown of the Sinnoh champion, which also made the residents of Shinwa Town proud.

However, this was not the peak of its power.

Because in another year or two, the town of God and Town—Dorasena—will become the Carlos Dragon Elite Four member, thus further enhancing the town's reputation.

"Is this really a town with a long history?" Xiao Gang gasped for breath as he walked down the street in Shenhe Town, expressing his doubts.

"Although there are many shops here, it is indeed the location of God Town!" Ash replied, slightly out of breath, glancing at Brock.

Today, the three of them arrived safely in God Town, but the town's appearance left Ash and Brock deeply impressed.

Shenhe Town, as a quaint and ancient town, was completely different from their expectations.

Because they had seen Yuanzhu City, a city full of ancient charm, in the Chengdu area, which was completely different from Shenhe Town.

Compared to Yuanzhu City, Shenhe Town has a wide variety of shops.

This made Xiao Guang extremely happy, but Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang, who accompanied Xiao Guang shopping, had legs that were almost numb from walking.

"Hikari, how about we call it a day?" Feeling his trembling legs, Xiaozhi honestly offered his suggestion.

Sure enough, shopping with women is the most tiring thing; it's absolutely true.

"Okay, but let me go to the last one, it's a store owned by the famous designer Ms. Lily!" Xiao Guang pointed to a rather luxuriously decorated clothing store.

"Miss Lily?"

Xiao Gang doesn't know much about fashion, but Xiao Zhi does.

"This is it!"

For the two boys who didn't care about fashion, Xiao Guang could only take out a magazine, open it, and point to the photos to explain.

"Miss Lily is a very famous designer in the field of trainer outfits and Pokémon costumes!"

Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang took a closer look. The woman in the photo was a mature, attractive woman, but she looked quite old.

"Let's go, let's go inside and look at some nice clothes!" Xiao Guang pulled Xiao Zhi along, acting cute as she led him towards the store.

"Sure, but Xiaoguang, don't swing it so hard!"

With Hikari's coaxing, Ash was pulled into the store.

Xiao Gang was left standing to the side, smiling helplessly and saying, "They have such a good relationship," before following the two of them.

As a small shop run by a well-known designer, the interior design is indeed far superior to its peers, and the clothing also leans towards a high-end feel. The experience of visiting the shop is truly extraordinary.

"What an eye-catching design! No wonder it's a top-notch designer!" Xiao Guang's blue eyes sparkled, looking every bit like a fangirl.

"Um, is it really that exaggerated?" Ash and Brock seemed a bit doubtful.

Xiao Guang seemed not to hear, and walked up to the shop assistant on his own.

"Is Ms. Lily there? I'm a fan of hers and I'd love to meet her!"

The shop assistant bowed slightly and politely replied, "Excuse me, miss, the president is out today!"

"What a pity!" Xiao Guang said with some regret.

"We should go back to training as soon as possible. It's important to be well-prepared for the competition!" Xiao Zhi suggested impatiently.

"Ok!"

Despite not meeting him in person, with the competition starting tomorrow, Hikari could only agree with Ash's statement.

First, we went back to the Pokémon Center, rested for a while, and then found a place to train.

Ash also needs to train Milotic, Bulbasaur, Bayleef, and Gliscor.

Milotic, in particular, is currently in a period of growth in strength, but it needs to undergo a lot of skill training.

"But Ash, aren't you planning to let Milotic participate in the Contests?" Dawn, who was training nearby, couldn't help but ask, seeing Milotic's beautiful figure.

Given Milotic's appearance, she would be a force to be reckoned with in events like the Grand Contest.

"That's fine, but this guy doesn't seem to be interested in the Grand Contest!"

At this point, Xiao Zhi's lips twitched.

Because his Milotic was a bit strange; despite being a girl, it had violent tendencies, just like Egg of Fortune.

I don't know which link went wrong, but it resulted in the emergence of two violent individuals.

However, it might be a good thing for him to focus primarily on developing his career as a trainer.

"Oh, that's a real shame!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guang smiled sullenly, glanced at Milotic's body again, and then began to instruct Curly-Ears to train.

……

Time quickly came to the day when God and the conference began.

As always, Ash and Brock sat in the audience, cheering for Dawn.

"Now, please welcome contestant number one, the renowned coordinator who is making a comeback after twenty years, and the famous designer of God and Town, Miss Lily!"

With host Bai An's enthusiastic introduction, the atmosphere on stage instantly became lively.

"It's actually Miss Lily! What an unexpected surprise!" Xiao Gang couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the stylish woman on stage.

“Yes, he looks like a formidable opponent!” Ash replied.
