Latias, the girl beside Ash, smiled and nodded in response to Bengreat's question.

Ash was even more confused. Latias... what the heck?! Grandpa, who are you talking to?!

Before Ash could react, the girl Latias pulled him to the swings and started swinging on them.

A gentle breeze and bright sunshine, birdsong and fragrant flowers, a boy and a girl together on a swing.

Beautiful music played, and the two looked so well-matched...

……

Carlos Asaka Town:

Hard! The fist is hard!

You're saying it's okay to compete with other women for Xiaozhi, right?

Why are even female elves joining in now?!

For the first time, Serena felt the urge to bite her handkerchief!

In previous reviews, Ash frequently faced powerful opponents and narrowly escaped death many times.

Serena kept praying for Ash, hoping that no more accidents would happen.

Now, Ash is fine, but her surprise has arrived!

Another rival has emerged for Ash's affections!

……

Futaba Town, Sinnoh Region:

Hikaru is currently watching a retrospective video with her mother, Ayako.

With his mother by his side, Xiao Guang looked at the scene on the screen, his face showing an expression of seeing a beautiful scene.

Actually...

'Ash is such a womanizer! It's one thing to attract a bunch of girls, but now he's even involved with Pokémon?! Wait… why should I care about this? Ash's not even my anything… we just traveled together! It's okay… it's okay…'

……

Alora region:

Lillie frowned slightly as she looked at the scene on the screen.

She couldn't quite describe how she felt...

After reviewing all these aspects, we can see that Ash is strong, brave, fearless in the face of difficulties, and even willing to sacrifice his life for Pokémon.

It truly moved her deeply, and she even developed a liking for Ash.

But... it shouldn't be that bad yet, right?

She is the Ice Flower of Alola Academy, and she is very popular throughout the entire academy!

Liking Ash Ketchum... let's talk about that in ten years!

……

(Due to space limitations, I won't list everyone's reactions. You can use your imagination to guess what Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao's reactions are. As for Alice... I think she probably won't react much, after all, she's a super wooden doll number two.)

In the video—

Latias, the girl, stood on the swing, while Ash sat on it.

The girl was wearing a white miniskirt, which was almost touching the back of Ash's head.

If Ash just lowers his head slightly, he'll probably see something incredible.

However... if Ash did that, he wouldn't be Ash.

“Oh… (Okay, Zhao) Um… Grandpa called you Latias earlier… Isn’t Latias an elf’s name?”

"And... how come you look so much like that girl named Kanon..."

Ash turned his head curiously to look at the girl.

After swinging on the swing two or three times, a burst of light particles emanated from the girl's body.

Then my body completely changed!

It has an almost identical appearance to Latios, but its body is red.

Now that she had shed her disguise, Latios was using her two red forelimbs to push the swing.

Her legs were actually floating.

This is why a swing can keep swaying even though it has no force.

That's because... Latias was pushing Ash in the air!

Upon seeing Latios return to its original form, Ash was so frightened that he fell off the swing.

Seeing this, Latios quickly flew over and helped him up.

"I'm fine, thank... thank you!"

"So... that's why Grandpa Grey called you Latios! No wonder I felt your hands felt a little different..."

"Hoo-hoo~ Hoo-hoo~"

Latias, seeing that Ash didn't seem to mind, happily circled around him and made cheerful noises.

Ben Gray and Canon, who were not far away, witnessed all of this.

"It seems that Latias really likes Ash!"

Ben Gray sighed, while Canon looked somewhat puzzled.

"Latias is usually very timid and has almost never interacted with humans except when she plays with me. How could she like Ash so much..."

"Hehe, who knows? Maybe... that boy has some special charm!"

Pikachu nodded in agreement.

Putting everything else aside, Ash's affinity for Pokémon is absolutely top-notch!

"Hoo-hoo~ Spear"

Latios slowly landed beside Pikachu and called out to it.

Pikachu was clearly uncomfortable with Latios's attack earlier and took a step back.

When Latios approached, Pikachu even closed its eyes, unaware of what the other wanted to do...

Chapter 144: Latias: I've decided to follow Ash!

When Pikachu thought Latios was going to bump into him...

A soft sensation touched his cheek.

Pikachu opened its eyes and saw...

He discovered that Latios was using his tongue to clean the dust off him from his fall.

(Someone in the comments said... this smells like a lie.jpg, so funny~)

“Huh~”

Latios smiled at Pikachu, apologizing for his earlier actions.

He thought they were intruders in the garden, but they turned out to be friends his sister had brought back.

"Pickup!!"

Pikachu didn't mind at all; he happily accepted Latios's apology.

The two sprites instantly started playing together.

Latias also joined in to play with Pikachu.

The three elves soared freely in the dense jungle!

Pikachu switches back and forth between Latias and Latios.

I thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of riding a mythical beast!

……

[Yi Shu: I'm so envious! Pikachu can ride Latias and Latios everywhere!]

[Yulongdu: What's there to be envious of? Pikachu rode Latios before, didn't it? And it even unleashed a Thunderbolt attack on Latios!]

[Leon: Now that you mention it, I remember Ash was battling Latios in the Sinnoh region, right?]

[Adecker: I didn't expect Chitaro to have already encountered Latios in the Johto region! No wonder no one else was as surprised back then.]

[Cattleya: Do you guys think it's possible... Ash kidnapped Latios, and then Latios, after much deliberation, discovered Ash was going to participate in the Lily of the Valley Conference, so it joined Darkrai's camp to ambush Ash!]

[Daigo: Well said! If you can talk, then talk more. I suggest you write a book; I won't read anything without your writing!]

[Dalmatian: Hehe, just kidding. If that Latios was this one, Ash wouldn't have had that expression back then.]
