Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

It should be like this.

But Xiaoyao really couldn't appreciate the scenery right now. She kept hugging Xiaozhi's waist tightly, wishing she could press her whole body against his back.

And this is already much better; when we first took off, she didn't even dare to open her eyes.

However, even though she gave Xiaozhi such a superior benefit, Xiaozhi didn't have time to comfort her at the moment.

He certainly wouldn't react in any particular way, and it might even distract him.

After all, having a bad personality and being a womanizer are two completely different things from lacking self-control.

Throughout the flight, Ash kept his eyes fixed on the girl flying diagonally above him, fearing that something might happen to her.

Serena is currently flying through the air in a wingsuit with her arms outstretched!

The newly evolved Togekiss raced alongside Dragonite, using the airflow generated by flapping its wings to constantly support Serena's body, ensuring she could move forward steadily.

The girl undoubtedly demonstrated superb flying skills and seamless teamwork with the two Pokémon.

"Salina looks so cool..." Xiaoyao looked at the agile girl with envy, and a sense of loss inexplicably arose in her heart.

Although she was supposed to be riding with Ash, she felt like she was just an accessory. Apart from shielding her from the wind, Ash's attention was entirely focused on Serena.

And Serena is really outstanding, she completely outclasses me in every way... wait?

Xiaoyao suddenly realized that she didn't know why she had suddenly started making comparisons...

"Serena, how are you feeling?" Ash asked with concern. "If you're tired, take a rest."

"I'm perfectly fine!" the girl exclaimed cheerfully, even having time to toss out another Poké Ball. "Whimsic, come out and fly with me!"

The shoddy cotton responded and happily danced in the wind... but soon fell behind.

"Flygon, go help Whimsicott." Seeing this, Ash sent Flygon to help the cotton ball speed up by fanning it from behind.

"It's so lively with everyone flying together... uh, it's out too." Xiaoyao was just praising it when Aoguyan jumped out of the ball with a cold face, making her feel the atmosphere freeze.

"It's a rare opportunity, it wants to relax a bit," Ash suggested with a smile. "May, how about you try flying yourself?"

"Can I... do it?" Xiaoyao immediately looked flustered.

"It's okay, just hold on tight. Dragonite flies very steadily," Ash comforted him. "You can't see the scenery ahead because I've been blocking your view the whole time."

"I'll give it a try... But Ash, please don't stray too far from me, okay?" May whispered her request.

"I'm right next to you, don't worry~" Ash chuckled, then suddenly leaped off the dragon's back and began to fall in freefall.

"Ash!!"

This reckless act startled May, but she soon noticed that three Pokémon had appeared next to Ash.

A black Corviknight and a white Pelipper happily flapped their wings and soared, while another red and white Pokémon with a streamlined body caught Ash steadily.

"That's just..." Xiaoyao asked, still shaken.

"She's Latias, she doesn't appear often," Ash explained. "Sorry, I was just kidding, don't take it to heart."

Latias is a legendary Pokémon, and leaving her outside all the time might cause some unnecessary trouble, but Ash has always kept her with him.

"Woo~" The little sister of the water city was obviously very excited to be able to go out and fly. She let out a happy cry and began to fly in all sorts of fancy flips with Ash on her back.

After playing for a while, she seemed a little tired, so she put Ash on Corviknight and transformed into a girl, snuggling affectionately into Ash's arms.

"Huh, how did it change? And it's with Ash..." May was a little confused. What was going on here?

As a girl, she could certainly tell that Latias's coquettish manner was completely inappropriate.

After that Pokémon transformed, its chemistry with Ash was absolutely off the charts!

"Latias is a legendary Pokémon that can transform into human form," Serena explained as she flew over. "As for her and Ash, well, it doesn't really matter to you in the future."

Serena wanted to say that Haruka would get used to it.

But then I thought, this girl is only temporarily joining the team, so there's no point in talking about the future.

"Oh..." Xiaoyao nodded blankly, but she was even more puzzled.

Serena's current state is clearly something she's become accustomed to.

Looking back now, May realizes that the main character did indeed say something about Ash's reputation in certain areas that was hard to talk about, like changing girls on every trip...

But from the moment he appeared, he was incredibly sophisticated and doted on Serena in various ways, making it really hard for Haruka to associate him with that kind of scumbag image.

What kind of person is Ash Ketchum...?

While Ash was lost in thought, Latias had already left Ash's side, and Ash was riding Corviknight by himself.

"Why did it leave?" Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.

"Latias took another Pokémon out for a walk," Ash casually explained.

The other one is, of course, Little Silver. As the cub of a first-level god, it is absolutely forbidden to show itself in front of people.

"I see..." Although Xiaoyao was confused, she could tell that Xiaozhi was hiding something.

She wasn't truly one of their companions yet, and there were some things she shouldn't know...

The journey across the ocean soon came to an end, and that evening, Ash and his friends arrived at Dew Island, located in the southwest corner of Hoenn.

After resting overnight at the Pokémon Center, Ash set off for the Fighting Gym the next morning.

"Fighting Waves?" May read the sign on the door. "Does it mean that the gym leader is very confident in his Fighting skills?"

“Mr. Fujiki is a very skilled fighter, and he’s from the same school as me. Our fighting techniques come from the same lineage,” Ash explained.

"Is that so?" Xiaoyao became even more interested.

Or rather, she now feels an urge to learn about everything and everyone related to Ash.

To their disappointment, the dojo staff told them that Fujiki was not home.

"The waves are great today, and the owner took a group of... uh, assistants, to practice surfing."

In front of the visitors, the receptionist was too embarrassed to say that Fujiki had gone off to play with a group of girls in swimsuits...

"It's alright, we'll take our leave now."

Ash wasn't originally planning to challenge the gym, so he wouldn't act as manic as he does in the anime.

Upon learning that the vines were by the sea, they decided to head to the beach as well, hoping to have some fun there.

"Wow, this beach is amazing! I want to go!" Upon arriving at the beach, Xiaoyao excitedly ran out, eagerly starting to take off her clothes...

"Hey! Haruka, no way!" This unrestrained action startled Serena, but upon closer inspection, she discovered that the other person was wearing a swimsuit underneath.

"This is outrageous... She actually put on her swimsuit beforehand?" Serena was speechless.

"It really is quite outrageous..." Xiao Zhi nodded in agreement.

Seriously, she's ten years old!

It's one thing to have an outline, but to have a cleavage is just outrageous...

Chapter 662 The Meeting, Xiaozhi's Promise

On the picturesque Wudou Island, two sisters swam together in the sea, splashing water on each other playfully.

This lively scene also provided a great feast for the eyes of Xiao Zhi, who was not far away.

This is indeed a great place for sightseeing... It's a pity Uncle Gang isn't here, otherwise he would have felt like he was in paradise.

Past Serena and May, Ash turned his gaze to the distant sea, where a group of swimsuit-clad girls were showing off their skills in the water, and a little further away...

"Oh, I found out~" May suddenly ran over with a teasing look and sat happily next to Ash.

Having just played around, the girl had beads of what looked like water or sweat on her body, glistening in the sunlight.

"Serena, come quick! Ash's peeking at swimsuits... uh, the Gym Leader?"

May pointed in the direction Ash was looking, and there she found a vine gliding steadily on the giant wave...

He was accompanied by a sturdy Mega King, who was also standing on a large surfboard, swaying and maintaining its balance in the sea.

"No wonder the gym owner loves surfing; he even lets Pokémon play along!" Serena said curiously upon seeing this.

"He's training, using the irregular movement of the waves to improve his and his Pokémon's balance and lower body stability. This is the fighting technique that Vine Tree trains in—the secret of softness," Ash explained.

"The secrets of gentleness...it sounds so sophisticated, Ash, do you know them too?" Haruka asked innocently.

"I haven't practiced specifically, but I know how to break it," Xiao Zhi said with a smile. "You guys rest here for a bit, I'll go find him myself."

After saying that, Ash grabbed the surfboard next to him and jumped into the sea with Froakie.

...

At this moment, on the highest wave in the sea, Fujiki was intently instructing Super Power King in his training.

"Very good, that's it, pay attention to maintaining your balance!" He kept directing Super Power King to adjust his body movements, but suddenly a figure appeared beside him.

"Hey, Mr. Fujiki, practicing?"

“You are…” Fujiki paused for a moment, looking at the suddenly appearing boy with a puzzled expression.

The other person's surfing skills were very rough; he didn't even know how to bend his knees. Strangely, his surfboard remained steady, as if he were on flat ground.

He was accompanied by a frog-like Pokémon, a species rarely seen in Hoenn, which was riding a very special transparent surfboard, maintaining absolute stability with equally clumsy skills…
