Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

Reluctantly, I took the electronic device from the dog and opened a group chat with 99+ messages.

[My son was adopted: Son, I told you you weren't good enough. Look, you gave it your all and still got wrecked like this, tsk tsk tsk...]

[Dad's an idiot: I already told you, the opponent is a powerful trainer, why wouldn't you listen?]

[My son was adopted: hehehehehe...]

[Dad said to the idiot: ...You wait, that guy will come to your dojo sooner or later, and then I'll definitely come to see how you get utterly thrashed.]

[My son was adopted: Hehehe]

…………

"We're this father and son who love and hate each other again!" Cynthia frowned, and finally said with a wry smile.

Upon seeing two familiar IDs and reviewing the message history, she instantly pieced together the whole story.

It started when Caizhong uploaded a video of a young man with Pikachu and tagged Piaotai, indicating that the other person was indeed very strong.

The two chatted about this promising trainee in the gym owner group, which ended up drawing attention from Piao Tai's father, Dong Gua.

It's unclear where Donggua got the video of Piaotai being defeated by Xiaozhi, but he started mocking his son, thus beginning the daily love-hate relationship between the two.

"What a perfect example of a loving father and filial son!"

Miss Champion tidied her fluffy blonde hair again, then focused more of her attention on the trigger for everything.

"Speaking of which, the trainer that Piao Tai mentioned is also named Xiao Zhi?"

Recalling what a certain unscrupulous Elite Four member had said to her, Cynthia couldn't help but curiously click on the video of Hyota and the boy with Pikachu.

The Pidgeot and Scizor performed well, and in her eyes they were impeccable, but there didn't seem to be any particular highlights.

until……

When Pikachu battled Tyranitar, the gleaming sword finally brought a look of astonishment to Cynthia's face.

"It's so big and so long!"

Cynthia covered her surprised mouth, looking at the scene in the video with disbelief.

With an iron tail almost ten times the length of Pikachu's body, how did that cute yellow mouse manage to do that?!

And she remembered that Wusong had also mentioned a Pikachu, so it seemed to be this little guy without a doubt.

"Ash? He's currently in Bida City!"

After taking another closer look at the boy wearing the baseball cap, he put the equipment aside and continued to enjoy his vacation while lounging in the chair.

"That's good, then we can go out and take a look!" Thinking of Pikachu's exaggerated steel tail, Cynthia suddenly felt a surge of curiosity.

I plan to leave the island and go out for some time in a while.

Meet the peculiar Pikachu and its trainer, Ash.

Chapter 73 If you want to learn the Absorption Fist, Kojiro, you'll have to pay the price.

"Great, we've got the Forest Badge! Now we can head to the next city!"

On the way out of the gym, Dawn, wearing a cheerleader outfit with pink as the main color and white and blue as decorative patterns, leaned against Ash.

Holding a pink flower to cheer him on, she looked quite energetic, celebrating Ash's victory.

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhi found the girl's cool and refreshing outfit quite pleasing to the eye.

“Speaking of which!” Brock said, looking at the map as they walked, “The next gym is located in Yorimitsu City, which is also the venue for the Yorimitsu Tournament!”

Ignoring the two who were getting more and more engrossed in their conversation, Brock looked at the map provided by the Pokémon Watch and gave them a serious reminder.

The main purpose was to remind the more naive girl among the two.

After all, the other party was a new coordinator who had just started traveling and was somewhat inexperienced in many ways. Taking care of his less experienced companion had become a habit he had developed since childhood.

"Yay!" Dawn cheered upon hearing about the Grand Contest. "Now that Ash got his second badge, I have to work hard too!"

Confidently clenching his little fists, he shouted loudly at Ash and Brock, as if the medal of the Tournament of Fate was already his for the taking.

"This……"

Seeing this blindly confident attitude, which was exactly like Ash Ketchum in the past, Brock couldn't help but worry about the guy's condition and quickly tried to persuade him:

"Hikaru, the Grand Contest isn't as simple as you think. You'll have to be careful!"

"I agree!"

Ash chimed in from behind, because he remembered that the girl seemed to have lost at the Contest of Fate, and not just once.

After that, I was constantly "recharging" before I found my form in the Grand Contest.

So when Xiaogang spoke, he quickly followed up, telling Xiaoguang to be careful.

Faced with the two's reminder, a mysterious glint appeared in her blue eyes, and she waved the colorful ball in her hand, shouting, "No problem, no problem!"

However, Ash and Brock looked at the girl with suspicion.

Recalling the other woman's mother's evaluation, the look of suspicion in his eyes deepened.

"What! You don't believe me at all, huh!"

Xiao Guang pretended to be angry, crossed his arms, pouted, turned his face away, and left a glint in his eyes, as if to tell Xiao Zhi, "Come and coax me, and I'll forgive you."

"Really? So disobedient? Well then, don't blame me!"

Ash wasn't going to fall for that. He opened and closed his two big hands toward the girl, baring his teeth and claws as he walked toward her, preparing to use his binding technique to teach the naughty girl a lesson.

"No, no, no!" Xiao Guang immediately revealed his true colors, not daring to provoke Xiao Zhi, the terrifying Demon King. "I'll listen, I'll listen!"

She knew that Xiao Zhi was not like Xiao Gang; he would actually get physical, and every time he did, he would make her feel sore and achy.

She has learned her lesson and doesn't want to go through that again anytime soon.

"That's pretty much it!"

With Xiao Guang's assurance, Xiao Zhi put his hands in his pockets and nodded in satisfaction.

Pickup~

Meanwhile, Pikachu on my shoulder rolled its eyes and then continued to rest there as if nothing had happened.

"Hmph, it's just a Grand Contest, what's so different about it?" Hikari muttered to himself the whole way, seemingly not really taking the Grand Contest seriously.

Ash, who was watching this scene, sighed helplessly.

But I won't say anything more. Only by experiencing hardship can one grow faster.

Just like when he was a child, he always felt that the elders in his family were wrong and he couldn't listen to them at all.

As a result, after growing up and experiencing the harsh realities of society, I instantly understood the truth behind it.

"You little brat, help me!"

Just as Ash was deep in thought, a familiar cry for help reached his ears.

A man with short, light blue hair and wearing a white uniform walked into their view; it was none other than Kojiro from Team Rocket.

At this moment, Ash was holding a cactus-like Pokémon in one hand, and was crying and pleading for help: "You little brat, help me! That gym leader is trying to steal my Gym Leader!"

Following Kojiro's gaze, the three saw the vegetable seedling being held back by Musashi and Meow Meow.

At this moment, the vegetable seeds were completely captivated, their eyes filled with tiny pink hearts.

"So...so familiar!" Xiao Guang covered his mouth in surprise and looked at Xiao Gang next to him.

"That look you're giving me is very impolite!" Xiao Gang immediately became displeased. If it weren't for his squinty eyes, they would probably have turned into dumbbells from staring.

"Uh... what's going on?!"

Seeing such a familiar scene, Xiao Zhi subconsciously asked a question.

“That… is actually…”

When asked about the reason, Kojiro became hesitant, but with the vegetable seeds drawing ever closer, he finally held up the Desert Nyarlathotep and told the truth.

In short, the trio infiltrated the gym with the intention of stealing a well-developed Torterra to present to Giovanni, hoping for a promotion, a raise, and the pinnacle of their lives.

However, due to Torterra's overwhelming strength, they ultimately failed, even attracting the attention of the Vegetable Seed that was preparing to restore the Pokémon's body.

Upon seeing the Grass-type Nyx Asura and experiencing attacks from her Pin Missiles and Needle-like projectiles, the woman decided to keep Nyx Asura.

Kojiro was so frightened that he ran away as fast as he could, and then he ran into the three of them.

"In other words, you originally wanted to steal Miss Vegetable's Earth Platform Turtle, but you ran into a tough opponent and were even asked to give up Desert Nyarlathotep!"

As a qualified mother, Xiao Gang skipped the fluff and made a simple summary.

"Ha! You still have the nerve to ask us for help? You're the only ones who ever want to catch Pikachu!" The girl gloated, "Nya ne ne~"

Despite being mocked by Hikaru sticking out his tongue, Kojiro didn't get angry. He just felt embarrassed, since what Hikaru said was true.

Thinking of this, Kojiro ignored the spikes on Desert Nyarlathotep's body, picked it up, and prepared to leave.

"The little girl is right, I was really grasping at straws in my desperation!" Kojiro thought to himself.
