Good morning, noon and night, hello, trainer

When I arrived at the scene, I just saw Misty jumping down from the audience and introducing herself as a member of the Cerulean Gym and someone who could participate in the Gym Tournament as a gym trainer.

"So why don't you just be a gym trainer? Why are you traveling with Satoshi?"

Serena expressed herself fully.

What other reason could there be? There were no optional female characters in the first generation.

Lars shrugged, pulled a bag of ketchup from his backpack, and twisted the lid off.

Sure enough, Pikachu's eyes tracked over immediately. When he saw it was Lass, he immediately trotted over, rubbed Lass affectionately, and was naturally picked up and put in Lass's arms to enjoy the ketchup.

"Heartbroken girl from the future Carlos, see this, this is the most powerful offensive method to capture Satoshi."

After briefly sucking on the Pikachu in his arms, Lars gave Serena a look that said, "You should learn from me."

Serena will never understand that conquering Pikachu is the most important thing.

"...Hello Pikachu, I forgot to introduce myself last time. I'm Serena, a good friend of Satoshi's from summer camp when we were little!"

Pikachu just nodded, completely focused on the ketchup.

This also made Serena a little embarrassed.

Las laughed when he saw this. This little girl from Carlos was really funny. He suggested that she go back and evolve a little bit before joining the fight for Ash's Shura Field.

Las has already thought of a name for the evolved form, it’s Serezona!

"Hey? Where's Pikachu? Pikachu, where have you been?!"

Oh, it looks like the negotiations with Xiaozhi are over, and the gym competition is about to begin.

Lars looked at Pikachu who was slurping ketchup in his arms, and could tell that Pikachu wanted to slurp ketchup more than the gym battle.

Dr. Oak is really useful, and the tomato sauce he specially developed is really effective.

She smiled and it was time for her to appear.

He deliberately strode down, his footsteps echoing in the empty room, attracting everyone's attention.

Lars flipped his hair up, smiled confidently, and gave Serena a provocative look.

"Pikachu is here, Xiaozhi~"

"Hey, Lars, I still have to have a gym match with Pikachu!"

At first sight, Xiaozhi called out Ra's name almost without hesitation. With such a resolute look, he didn't even consider the possibility that it was Serena.

It is known that Xiaozhi does not have the brain to think that Serena is unlikely to fly to Kanto.

Answer: This is another victory of brotherhood.

"I told you you didn't stand a chance, Serena."

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

There was a sound of knocking on the table in the illustrated book.

Look, he's anxious again. (Tom Cat expression)

Kanto Region: Chapter 23: Bribing Pikachu is the best option

[P.S.: I used "Selina" because I was reading the translated version. After thinking about it, I decided to replace the translation of Serena with the "Selena" version that more people read.]

——The following is the main text——

"So what are the rules for your gym matches?"

Without further teasing Serena, Lars jumped down from the audience and landed lightly next to Ash.

Her movements were as graceful as they could be, and she gently moved closer to Xiaozhi's position, her attitude clearly showing that she was there to support him.

Sure enough, the expressions of Xiaoxia’s three sisters changed.

The one who looked the oldest among them sighed directly at Xiaoxia.

"Xiaoxia, give up. You can't snatch it away."

Xiaoxia: "?"

I suddenly started sweating like soybeans.

"Sister, what are you thinking! She, he is a man! This is fake! It's fake!"

It seems that Xiaozhi has told his travel companion about his own affairs.

Las didn't react at all to Xiaoxia's accusation, and still maintained a decent smile on his face.

The voice is Serena, the appearance is Serena, the physiological structure is Serena, and even the DNA is Serena.

From a material point of view, she is now completely Serena, and her gender is female. Well, there is nothing fake about it, it is all real.

Besides, if you tell this kind of thing directly, how many people will believe it?

"Xiaoxia, I know you feel inferior because of the shine of our three beautiful sisters."

"But you can't slander others just because you're jealous. That's too ugly."

"How could such a beautiful girl be a boy?"

Xiaoxia's three sisters didn't believe it, and their words, one after another, were all real hurts.

"Lars is indeed a woman now."

Xiaozhi also added another knife.

Although his dualistic brain cannot remember most things, he can remember some things under appropriate circumstances.

This incident is also recorded in the original animation.

"It's not that good..."

In short, the girl far away in Carlos was very happy to see it, after all, it was her look.

It’s just a stand-in, after all, it’s “her” who is on the scene.

"Oh, Lars, you are talking to Serena. But Lars does know more than Serena."

But it turns out that Xiaozhi's last hit is AOE.

Although everyone who knows Xiaozhi knows that this sentence is definitely about Pokémon, but why say it in this situation...

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

Listen, this is the sound of someone getting anxious again.

It's a pity that Serena is not here and the location is not the beach.

There may be a chance in the Carlos version in the future. I hope Serena won’t raise her level too high by then, making it difficult for her to break through the defense.

Las glanced at Xiaoxia. The first-generation heroine was also in a tense state and was even grinding her teeth.

Well, think about it.

"By the way, is Xiaozhi still traveling with her? I paid for the bicycle you owed me last time."

Asking even though you already know the answer.

"It's because this idiot is too stupid. Without me, I don't know if he can find the way to the next city!"

As expected, it was Misty's tsundere remarks that triggered it, and Pikachu didn't believe it.

Oh, Serena believed it.

Look at her, she looks like she is going to study geography so that she can be Xiaozhi's guide on future trips.

"What? It was you who pestered me to travel with me!"

Xiaozhi directly exposed the truth, although the real situation was definitely not like that.

But after all, it was Xiaozhi who said it. Currently serving as Serena's substitute, Lars thought he should add a timely comment: "I see, that's true. Xiaozhi is still very charming."

"certainly not!"

Well, this successfully made Xiaoxia furious.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next thing will be the regular program of the original male and female protagonists - bickering as if no one else is around.

That won't work. As Serena's substitute, I definitely won't give them the opportunity to improve their relationship.

Lars thought about it and soon came up with an idea.

"If Ash is going to keep flirting with his travel companion, why not let me have the first gym match~?"

"How about lending me your Pikachu? I don't have any Electric-type Pokémon to counter the Cerulean Gym."

"Is everything alright, Pikachu?~"

Ra's lifted Pikachu and used this excuse to directly intervene in the bickering between the two.

Xiaozhi was stunned when he heard that, and when he was about to nod without thinking, Xiaoxia pushed Xiaozhi away.

"We're not flirting!" Xiaoxia became even more furious.

"And you're not allowed to lend Pikachu out!"

It was so exciting and anxious that even Pikachu was startled.

So Lars took Pikachu back and held it in his arms. He tilted his head slightly, pretending not to understand, and asked, "Why?"

"And I'm asking about Ash and Pikachu, right?"

It is a level that crushes Xiaoxia.

Xiaoxia's three sisters looked at her and sighed, then gathered behind her to eat melons.

I'm already betting on whether Misty can snatch Satoshi away.

Pikachu looked strange after hearing this, looking at Las on the left and Misty on the right.

Finally, after Russ stuffed a tomato-flavored energy cube into Pikachu's mouth, he happily chose Russ.

Ah! So cute! Pikachu!

Las was also happily sucking Pikachu, and directly stuffed the energy cube box into Pikachu's hand, at which point Pikachu was also very happy.

"..."

Serena looked at it and for some reason, she felt like she had completely lost.

Impossible, it's impossible that I can't even beat Lars! ?

Then Serena noticed the look Lars gave her, a look that said 'You are the challenger'!

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

Well, someone is getting anxious again.

Lars no longer wanted to report who was anxious.

Ra's main target now is Misty, but he ignores her and doesn't look at Ash, instead holding Pikachu in front of him.

"Will you, Pikachu, help me with a gym battle?"

Without pretending to be weak, he asked calmly.

This operation seems to be just a repetition of the original one, but the result is different.

When Xiaoxia wanted to say something, her sister stopped her.

"Yes, since Xiaoxia still wants to catch up with this little girl, it would be more appropriate to give the first match spot to this young lady."

The elder sister, who feels that her younger sister has already lost too much, is trying to save her sister's face.

Yes, that's right, this repetitive operation is for this effect.

"Doesn't the Cerulean Gym have any Pokémon to battle?"

Only Xiaozhi was confused, and what he cared about was what the three Hualan sisters had said before.

Xiaoxia's three sisters didn't know what to say about this.

——Even the first generation of Xiaozhi, who has the highest emotional intelligence towards others, is actually not that high.

"Hey, there's no Pokémon to battle in the Cerulean Gym?"
