Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

at this time.

Professor Oak, having finally finished healing all the injuries on Infernape and Moltres, hurriedly came to the backyard to share the news with Ash.

however.

When he arrived at the backyard.

What they saw was an empty field, with Pokémon running freely across it.

At that moment, his phone rang.

Professor Oak picked up his phone and glanced at it.

After seeing the photo above, which was sent by Ash showing the three of them having a meal together.

Professor Oak suddenly realized that the instant noodles he had been eating earlier didn't taste so good anymore!

[Adek: Hahaha! Xuecheng, I never thought you'd become a lonely old man one day. This is hilarious!]

[Ma Shide: Ah, I envy you. Unlike me, I have my beloved wife and son by my side every day. When I'm tired, all I can do is guide my disciples in their martial arts training.]

[Uncle Liu: I can only pat my little wild boar and hide alone in the dojo, feeling sad.]

[Damaranchi: My situation is even worse. I have to review a huge number of alliance documents every day. I'm 80 years old, and I only have three or five secretaries who bring me tea and water every day. I don't even have to cook for myself! Sigh, it's so hard for me!]

Professor Oak: That's enough, you guys!

Kanto, Oak Research Institute.

Professor Oak, who was still eating instant noodles, slammed the noodles down on the table.

But the hunger in his stomach made him pick up the instant noodles again.

At that moment, an enticing aroma wafted through the air.

Professor Oak tilted his head back and took a deep sniff with the tip of his pen.

Turning my head, I saw Hanako's sixth house with wisps of smoke rising from its chimney not far away.

Chapter 171 Hanako's Invitation! Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are going to meet?

Professor Oak walked to the window.

Just then, I saw the smoke rising from Hanako's house.

Through the window, you can vaguely see a group of people sitting around the dining table.

In an instant, an indescribable sense of loneliness enveloped him.

Just as Professor Oak was preparing to grieve alone.

But then the institute's doors were knocked on.

Professor Oak said, "Coming!" and hurried over to open the door.

However, he still had some doubts: who would come at this time?

However, as soon as the door opened, they saw Ash dragging a reluctant Gary to stand at the doorway.

"Professor Oak! My mom asked me to bring you some chicken soup."

Looking at the bento box wrapped in red cloth in Ash's hand.

Professor Oak felt a warmth in his heart.

Hanako is a good person!

It's not for nothing that I've always taken such good care of Red and Ash.

……

In the picture—

"Ugh, the food here is awful. I should have gone home and had my mom cook for me."

After taking a bite, Ash and Pikachu both stuck out their tongues and spat.

The food here is truly terrible.

"Is Ash's mom a good cook?" Cynthia asked, frowning and looking hesitantly at the indescribable meat she was holding.

"That's not just delicious, it's incredibly good! Champion Cynthia, let me tell you, Aunt Hanako's cooking is the best in all of Pallet Town!"

Even before Ash could speak, Gary had already said it!

From childhood to adulthood, Gary and Green have always followed Professor Oak.

If it weren't for Ash's mother, Hanako, who always brought food for the two brothers...

They probably would have starved to death long ago by eating instant noodles with Professor Oak.

"Is that so? I'd really like to try it sometime."

After hesitating for a long time,

For your own safety.

Cynthia put down the indescribable meat in her hand.

"If you have the chance, Xiaozhi, would you be willing to invite me to your house for a meal?"

As she spoke, Cynthia stared intently at Ash.

　If you look closely, you'll notice that Cynthia's ears are completely red.

Such blunt words were too shameful for Cynthia.

but.

Cynthia was still looking forward to Ash's answer.

"Of course, no problem! Please come to my house for dinner next time you have time!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu also raised its hand in agreement!

And so, the otherwise unappetizing meal took on a different flavor.

only.

Some people were not so happy.

Gary stared in shock at Cynthia and Ash.

What are you doing?!

Please leave me a way out!

Catching the three legendary birds is already a difficult task, and now you're not going to add conquering a female champion to the mix, are you?

Ash! You're a devil!

Xiao Mao's eyes flashed with a variety of emotions.

There's really no other way!

What Xiao Zhi did was truly amazing!

Even Cynthia, known as the "Ice Queen" in the world of trainers, smiled.

Xiao Mao lowered his head unwillingly, just as two playing cards, which seemed to have been scraped from somewhere, landed in front of him.

The King and the Little King.

Oh no.

Yes, the front and back of his dropped trainer ID.

Before they knew it, a red nose tip was hanging on Xiao Mao's nose.

At this moment, he is no longer a trainer.

It's a Joke!

[Hanako: Ms. Cynthia, please do me the honor of visiting my home sometime. I'll prepare a delicious meal in advance.]

[Cynthia: You're too kind. I'll definitely visit sometime, and I'll be troubling you then.]

[Hanako: No need to be so polite, we're not strangers.]

[Cadelia: Hey~ We're not outsiders~]

[Lusamine: I'm so happy~]

[Da Ye: I also want to try Aunt Hanako's cooking!]

[Wusong: Where did this filth come from!]

Da Ye originally wanted to say a few more cheeky things.

But after seeing the sun-drenched windows outside now shrouded in shadow...

Da Ye knew he was in deep trouble.

Because of that shadow.

It's a land shark that bites hard!
