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

However, Xiao Sheng didn't seem to care at all.

"It's not us who are famous, it's just Dad."

"Yeah, what kind of fame do we have? I've only received two ribbon medals."

Just as they were happily contemplating what they would eat next, a sudden burst of noisy footsteps came from afar.

Ash immediately frowned and looked over, then was shocked by the number of people rushing towards him.

Then, the middle-aged woman leading the crowd shouted.

"It's them, Lord Qianli's children!!!"

At the old lady's command, the people around them seemed to receive some kind of order and swarmed forward, instantly surrounding Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng completely.

Even Ash was pushed away by their frenzied charge.

"What on earth happened?"

It was only then that Ash finally noticed that something seemed off about his surroundings.

Whether it was the crowd that rushed over and surrounded Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng, or the pedestrians on the TV news in the shop window behind them, they all had Qianli's image on them to varying degrees.

Clothes, keychains, phone charms... all sorts of things, even the roadside shops selling local specialties are full of Qianli's surrounding products.

When Xiaozhi looked up, the largest and most eye-catching posters on the surrounding high-rise buildings were all photos of Chiri and his wife Mitsuko.

"Are you kidding me? Does it have to be this exaggerated?"

"Everywhere is a thousand miles long, it's an unimaginable raging tide."

This is truly the most popular gym leader Ash has ever met in all his travels.

Just as Ash was marveling at how renowned Senri was in this land, May and Max, surrounded by the crowd, were experiencing a scene they would never forget.

They could see a dense crowd staring at them with fervent eyes, especially the middle-aged woman and the middle-aged man in a suit holding a microphone and a notebook.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Yao and Young Master Sheng from Lord Qianli's family? You are two very beautiful children!"

"Ah, that one is us."

Surrounded by so many enthusiastic people for the first time, and with Ash not even around, May and Max were a little overwhelmed and could only respond awkwardly.

However, those people didn't care about the expressions on the two people's faces and just celebrated on their own.

"That's wonderful, they really are Lord Qianli's daughter and son."

"As expected of Lord Qianli's child, he is so dignified and handsome just by his presence."

The man seemed to be a reporter; he quickly scribbled and drew in his notebook.

"Alright, today's headline is: Lord Qianli's daughter and son arrive in North Orange Blossom City!"

"There's no need to go to such lengths," Xiaoyao quickly stopped her, she didn't want to attract so much attention.

However, her father's fervent followers paid no heed to the girl's slight embarrassment.

The leading middle-aged woman quickly parted the crowd and excitedly pulled Xiaoyao to stand in the middle.

"I heard that you went on your journey to become an excellent Pokémon Trainer, Miss May. As the child of Lord Senri, you must have achieved many remarkable accomplishments by now!"

"what?"

Faced with the expectant gazes of those around her, Xiaoyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"There's nothing particularly noteworthy about it..."

She spoke softer and softer, almost blushing so much she wanted to dig a hole and disappear, but then Xiaosheng reminded her.

"Sis, you can show them the ribbon medal."

"Oh right!" Xiaoyao suddenly realized, and immediately nervously took out her badge box to show the crowd.

"Even though I've been traveling for more than half a year, I still only have two..."

Xiaoyao always felt that what she had was not presentable at all, but she did not expect that the crowd around her would immediately applaud excitedly.

"She's only been traveling for six months and has already earned two ribbon medals. As expected of Lord Senri's daughter, she's truly remarkable!"

"Miss Haruka is definitely a potential top-tier Coordinator!"

"Not at all! With Miss May's talent, she will definitely become the strongest Coordinator in Hoenn!"

……

There was no disdain, no contempt, only fervent support stemming from a love for the company.

The crowd showered Xiaoyao with compliments, making her feel quite flattered.

Then, led by the older woman, they all egged Xiaoyao on, urging her to show them a thing or two.

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Xiaoyao could only agree to perform a short segment, and the older woman quickly tried to liven up the atmosphere.

"Miss Xiaoyao is going to show everyone her amazing skills."

"Oh!……"

"How could it have turned out like this?"

With no other option, Xiaoyao could only adopt the same demeanor she used when dealing with the first round of review and gracefully twirl around.

"Hunter Butterfly, step onto the stage! Let everyone see your signature move from the Grand Contest, Silver Whirlwind!"

"Well!"

Upon its appearance, the Hunting Swallowtail spun around, creating a silvery-white whirlwind around it, with shimmering, dazzling light spots scattering in all directions with the wind.

This drew another round of cheers from the citizens, with praise echoing throughout the city.

The reporter even brought out a whole set of extravagant equipment and took several photos of Xiaoyao.

"Okay, it's decided! Tomorrow's front page headline will be: Miss Haruka, the most beautiful woman in Orange Blossom City, performs a magnificent dance in North Orange Blossom City!"

Xiaoyao's posture during her performance was indeed graceful. Coupled with her father's reputation and her own outstanding appearance, she perfectly embodies the image of a wealthy heiress in the minds of the citizens of North Orange City.

This caused their affection for Xiaoyao to reach its peak instantly, with nothing but praise for her and not a single objective comment.

They can praise a 60-point performance as a 90-point performance, and a 70-point performance is even more amazing, aiming for 200 points.

Young people in the city, in particular, have started to swoon over her. Before even becoming a top Coordinator, Haruka has already gained her first batch of fans.

Although they weren't initially after her... It's terrifying how well-off second-generation dojo members are.

Naturally, Xiao Yao, who was new to the industry, had never seen such a scene before, and was also caught up in it.

"Hehehe, I didn't know they were so amazing."

"Hey, don't get carried away just because someone flatters you!"

"Hey, Ash~"

At this moment, Ash finally managed to squeeze into the crowd and return to May's side.

He immediately flicked the girl on the forehead to bring her back to her senses.

However, Ash's intimate actions with May instantly caused a commotion among those around them.

"Who is this guy? How dare he be so intimate with Miss Xiaoyao!"

"You think you can play with Miss Xiaoyao's pretty face?"

"Hey kid, watch your step! Don't you understand?!"

……

Amidst the fervent atmosphere of idol worship, they glared at Ash and surrounded him with eyes blazing with anger.

May could only quickly step in to smooth things over, saying, "Everyone, there's no need for this. Ash meant well. He's our travel companion, and he's taught Max and me a lot along the way, like a teacher."

"Yes, yes, Ash isn't a bad person."

"What? He can actually teach Miss Xiaoyao and Young Master Xiaosheng?"

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng's attempt to help them out not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but also made the people around them even angrier.

More people gathered around Xiaozhi, with the older woman and the reporter leading the way once again.

"What's your status now, kid?"

"That's right. What's the purpose of following Miss Xiaoyao around?"

"Uh, I'm currently challenging the Hoenn League, so for some reason I just happened to be traveling with May and Max."

Ash took out his Pokédex and badge box to prove his identity, but the people looked disdainful after seeing the four badges in the badge box.

"What? Only four badges? Is that enough to be Miss Haruka and Young Master Kacchan's partner?"

"Xiaoyao only has two ribbons."

"How can they be the same!"

These people are blatantly hypocritical, which Xiao Zhi found amusing, so he retorted with a question.

"So what kind of achievements do you think would be worthy of being with Xiaoyao?"

"It has to be at least the league championship!"

"That's quite unfortunate, I am Ash Ketchum, the champion of the Indigo League and Silver League."

"W-what? Two league tournament champions?"

The woman felt embarrassed for a moment, then immediately coughed.

"Two... just two. I've never even heard of the Quartz Conference or the Silver Conference. It's nothing special."

"That's right, you need to win at least five championships at that level!"

What Android champion and Apple champion?

"Seriously, you guys were definitely scared just now, right?"

The five things were completely made up on the spot, and Xiao Zhi was shocked by the shamelessness of the fans in defending their idol.

Even though they were all people who had nothing to do with Xiaoyao, they suddenly transformed into the picky family members of the bride and started finding fault with Xiaozhi.

They had this face of being determined to stop that stinky blondie from robbing their tender cabbage.

"Alright, I'm the travel companion who's traveling with Haruka. It's none of your business what we do."

"Besides, I'm going to challenge the Petalburg Gym next, so I don't have time to waste here with you guys."

Ash put his arm around May's shoulder and let her lean on him to assert his ownership.

Xiaoyao blushed instantly but offered no resistance.

This scene broke the hearts of countless young men in North Orange City.

Ash ignored them and was about to take the siblings out, but he didn't expect that his hug, coupled with his earlier statement about challenging the Petalburg Gym, would completely ignite public outrage.

From the crowd, several young people immediately rushed out and spoke one after another.

"You're too arrogant, kid. You should know that Lord Senri is no ordinary gym leader!"

"Only chosen trainers are allowed to challenge him..."

"A distinguished person!"

"Oh, is that so? But generally speaking, as long as you're a trainer, you can challenge all the gyms, right?"

"And I've already obtained all four badges needed to challenge the Petalburg Gym. Did Uncle Senri add some new requirements?"

These people were so confident that they confused Ash, who thought that since he hadn't seen Senryu for so long, Senryu had become one of the Elite Four and couldn't be challenged casually anymore.

Upon hearing him call Qianli "Uncle," the blue-haired leader among the young men instantly bristled.

"Don't address him so intimately, call him Lord Qianli! That's the rule here."

"That's right, that's right. There are plenty of gyms. You can go somewhere else to get badges; that's the smart thing to do!"

"You want to challenge Lord Qianli? You're a million years too early!"

In their hearts, Senri is the greatest. Even though Ash looks intimidating, they still have to stand up for him.

What's more, he's so close to Lord Qianli's daughter, the beautiful Miss Xiaoyao, it's really enviable.
