Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

"I accidentally fell into a mud pit once before, and I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so I didn't want to continue using it, and it looked like it had been passed down for a long time."

"Maybe it was a cultural relic and we put it in the warehouse, but then I forgot about it."

"Is this stone slab used as a cutting board?" Xiao Zhi pondered, looking at the blue stone slab in his hand.

It might be exceptionally useful, since it won't mold or leave scratches, and it's super sturdy and durable.

"Can I have it?"

"Take it. You've already leased the whole island, so it should belong to you anyway."

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the item "Arceus's Blue Sky Tablet": The power of Flying-type moves of the Pokémon holding this item is increased by 20%]

"What a pleasant surprise! I'll give you a bonus, Xiao Ou."

————The finishing touch————

The day after leaving Big Bobo Island, Serena woke up early in the morning.

"Wow, I got up really early today."

After dealing with the matters on Polito Island yesterday, Ash immediately took them off.

After all, we can't fall too far behind the other competitors.

With the extreme skills of veteran sailor Cheng Long, they crossed the ocean in just one afternoon and arrived at the next island before dark.

And if Ash hadn't used Pikachu's electric shock on the fish, it would have been even faster.

Upon arriving at the new island, they set up camp very early that evening.

After all, Ash had just gone to space not long ago, and Misty and Serena had been on edge for a long time.

After returning, I was busy dealing with business matters, with Xiaoxia and Serena helping me out. We were constantly on the go, which was really tiring.

So Serena fell asleep right away last night, but she woke up very early this morning.

This is the earliest she's gotten up in a while.

She was surprised to find that Xia's tent was already open when she unzipped it.

"Hey, Xia, you're up this early too?"

But Serena didn't see Xia around, so she got up to check out her.

Suddenly, she heard some strange noises coming from Ash's tent.

"...What are they doing?"

The curious girl tiptoed closer, secretly opened a corner of the tent, and then Serena witnessed a scene she would never forget.

Chapter 270 Xiao Zhi, what do you think of me?

"Bear Two, use Tile Splitting!"

It was another sunny morning, and Ash and his Pokémon happily began their new campaign to promote civility and spread warmth.

On the shore of this new island, he unexpectedly discovered a large group of gunfish.

These aggressive Pokémon are the local tyrants along this route.

Normally, every time a ship passes through this area, it has to prepare an extra portion of food and throw it into the sea as an offering to the gunfish before they will allow the ship to pass.

Of course, these gunfish are not entirely bandits. If the ships that have paid tribute are damaged, unable to move, or if someone is drowning, the gunfish will come forward to help.

This can be considered a different kind of mutually beneficial symbiosis.

But Ash, of course, knew nothing about it and didn't throw anything away as he passed by.

This was something that the group of gunfish, who were used to stealing things, could not tolerate.

"These outsiders are so rude!"

Yesterday, they followed Ash closely all the way to this island and stayed there all night without leaving.

Ash woke up in the warm, humid morning and only noticed them later when he was inexplicably splashed with water by a water gun while enjoying the breeze at the beach.

Immediately let Pikachu use its electric attack to fish, and then release Ursa to finish them off.

"You bunch of dead fish dare to smear my face? You're tired of living!"

"Pikachu, unleash 100,000 volts! Shock them!" Grandpa Ash was feeling kind today, so he released some electricity into the sea to accumulate merit for the fish.

Unlike the noisy and chaotic morning on Xiaozhi's side, Xiaoxia and her friends on the other side were much more peaceful.

"Seriously, Xiao Zhi is so noisy every morning."

Xiaoxia moved her slightly sore jaw and took out a bottle of milk to drink.

However, Serena kept blushing as she watched Xiaoxia drink milk, which puzzled Xiaoxia greatly.

"What's wrong, Serena? Do you want some too?"

Upon hearing this, Serena quickly shook her head; she was currently experiencing the most significant shock of her life in the past decade or so.

She wanted to ask the other person directly, but she didn't dare.

Xiaoxia, however, thought Serena was being too polite, and immediately took out another bottle from her backpack.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of milk. This is Moo Moo Milk, which is very nutritious."

"Very nutritious..."

The education in that area in the Carlos region is almost the most comprehensive of all regions, and Serena has naturally heard that such things are very nutritious.

In order to avoid Xiaoxia noticing anything amiss, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the milk.

But for some reason, as she looked at the white milk in her hand, the scene from that morning would uncontrollably reappear in her mind.

Even the way she drinks milk has unconsciously become the same as Xiaoxia's before, as if she herself has become the one doing that kind of thing.

"Oh dear!" Serena was startled by her own thought, and her face turned even redder.

"What exactly is the relationship between Ash and Misty?" Serena could no longer lie to herself that they were just ordinary partners.

After all, they had done that kind of thing... Serena looked at Xiaoxia cautiously.

At this moment, Xiaoxia was puzzled as to why Serena was raising her head so high while drinking milk, but seeing that the other party was enjoying it, she realized that Serena was drinking it well.

She then turned around and released her Pokémon to help Misty continue packing her belongings at the campsite.

Serena looked at Xia with a thoughtful expression. In her eyes, Xia was a beautiful and well-built outstanding girl.

She is also kind-hearted, always taking care of him like an older sister during their travels, and often accompanying Ash in Pokémon battles.

It would be normal for Ash to like Misty, but it's me... I'm so oblivious. I've been deceiving myself all along. Serena's heart sank.

At this moment, Xiaoxia asked Serena to help call Xiaozhi back. Serena, who was lost in thought and felt her chest tighten, nodded blankly.

She slowly walked towards Xiaozhi's location, but lost in thought, she tripped over a stone and fell heavily.

"Ouch!" Serena quickly forced back her tears and checked her injury. Her knee was scraped, and a wave of grievance washed over her.

"Why didn't anything good happen today!" The tears that I had been holding back finally broke out.

Unexpectedly, a handkerchief was handed to her at that moment.

"Are you alright, Serena?"

Upon hearing the voice, Serena immediately looked up and saw Ash. He had heard Serena's voice and come running.

"It's okay... I'm fine, Ash."

"It's alright? You were crying, weren't you?"

Seeing that Serena seemed unable to stand up, Ash immediately knelt down gently to clean and bandage her wounds.

This scene reminded Serena of the first time she met Ash, and the image from then gradually overlapped with her current one.

As Ash grew up, he became even more handsome and charming, making Serena unable to take her eyes off him.

[Ding! Serena: Affection +5]

[The other person's favorability level has reached "60"!]

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering a new legendary quest "Childhood Sweethearts Never Lose in a Romantic Comedy (Part 7)": Please raise Serena's affection level to 70]

[Reward: Alliance...]

[Ding! The rewards for the legendary quest "Childhood Sweethearts Never Lose in a Romantic Comedy" (Parts 1-6) will be reissued...]

[Ding! Resend failed!]

[Warning! Warning! According to the laws of the relevant region, the target has not yet met the requirements... The task is temporarily suspended and cannot be triggered.]

Ash, who had just finished bandaging Serena's wounds and stood up, was puzzled by the strange notification sound that suddenly rang out.

"What does this mean?"

What does it mean! ?

[Ding! Due to an error, the following compensation rewards have been issued: Alliance Coins +4000; Free Attribute Points +4; Sweet Balls +2]

It was only then that Ash noticed that Serena's affection level had reached 60.

As expected of my childhood friend, having initial affection makes all the difference, even though the mission was shelved for some really ridiculous reasons.

But there was nothing she could do, since Serena hadn't received her Pokémon yet.

But they even added two sweet balls, which are really good stuff.

Ash didn't think much of it, took Serena's hand and pulled her up, preparing to turn around and go back to the camp.

But then Serena suddenly tugged at Ash's sleeve, and took a deep breath, mustering her courage.

"Ash... what do you think of me?"

When she asked the question, Serena was both shy and brave, though her voice was trembling.

She originally wanted to ask about the relationship between Ash and Misty, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this once she asked.

Serena is a very proactive girl, but she has always been rather timid when it comes to confessing her feelings directly to the person she likes.

The main reason was that what happened this morning had a strong impact on her, and coupled with what happened just now, Serena blurted out the question in a moment of impulse.

However, she regretted it as soon as she said it, and now she's so embarrassed that she wants to dig a hole and crawl into it.

After a moment of silence, a response finally came.

"I like Serena..." Ash slowly turned to face Serena, looking at her adorable blushing cheeks, and gave her a gentle smile.

"And everyone else too!"

When Serena heard Ash say he liked her, she looked up abruptly, her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly heard everyone else.

"Serena, you're wonderful, you're an important friend to me," Ash said, reflecting on Serena's place in his heart.

"Haha, that's true." Serena awkwardly scratched her head and quickly let go of Ash's clothes, running towards the camp.

"Serena!"

"what?"

"I would be very honored if you could be my wife!"

Upon hearing Ash's outburst, Serena's face instantly turned as red as a volcanic eruption, and she transformed into a steam princess with smoke billowing from her head.

“Eek—, Wh…what…we…we’re talking about this too early…we should, we should…” Serena was now speaking incoherently.

[Ding! Serena: Affection +5]

Seeing that Serena's gloom had vanished, Ash immediately smiled, took her hand, and ran back to the camp together.

Sigh, men from the Kanto region who want it all are terrifying.

After returning to the camp, Ash immediately took Misty's hand again and they continued on their way.

Looking at Serena, whose face was flushed, next to Ash, Misty could roughly guess what had happened, even though she didn't quite understand.

He just smiled knowingly and rested his head on Xiaozhi's shoulder.

You are all my wings.jpg

————Rock Blockade————

The day after leaving the small island, Ash and his friends arrived at Huangyan Island.
