"Ok?"

Esprit blinked before mustering the courage to raise her head and look at Ash.

Ash's fist lightly touched the protective helmet worn by Esprit.

A smile appeared on Xiao Zhi's face, his eyes filled with gentleness.

"Go home, Machiavelli, someone is waiting for you."

At that moment, a strong emotion rippled through Esprit's heart.

Esprit's pale purple eyes were fixed on Ash, and a tear involuntarily rolled down her cheek.

“Maggie... Elle? Why...why do you call me by that name?”

422 Maggie chose to believe

Machiavel has lived alone on the streets of Miarey since she was a child.

She had long been accustomed to this loneliness and solitude; there was hardly anyone who would even call her by name.

I was always afraid, whether at home or on the street.

Everyone seemed to ignore Machiavelle; no one came to her aid despite her cries for help.

After putting on the E-suit, Machiavelle received positive feedback, becoming fearless and seemingly omnipotent.

Machiavelle described Team Flare's words as utterly outrageous, but she also longed to live in a beautiful world and wanted to experience the 'world without conflict and strife' that Vladari had described.

She only returned to reality after Ash kept shattering her beautiful dream.

Ash is too strong in every aspect, and Machiavelli has to admit that she is simply no match for him.

He lacked confidence from the beginning, while the girls around him were all very strong.

Especially the girl named 'Aine', Machiavel had no recollection of their first meeting.

In their second encounter, Chihaya Aine completely overwhelmed her.

Despite the vast difference in their abilities, she resorted to despicable methods to ambush Aine.

Ash and Machiavelli are completely different types; even if Machiavelli wears the E-suit, she can't compete with him.

A dazzling presence...

I also want to be like him, possessing the power to not be bullied by anyone, and having companions.

so envious...

“Your name is Machiavel, and nothing else.”

Ash took the initiative to remove Machiavelle's helmet, revealing her gentle and virtuous face.

"I..."

Machiavelle's eyes lit up again. She stretched out a fair and slender hand, her little finger trembling slightly, and touched Ash's hand.

Such warm hands...

I really want to spend more time with him.

This was the first time in Maggie's life that she had touched the hand of a boy her own age, and she had a strange feeling about it.

Her mind was in turmoil after interacting with Xiaozhi.

Well... she wasn't obsessed with that hand.

Esprit, who had been exposed to the ways of the world since childhood, would never accept this level of talk therapy.

"If we defeat Team Flare, will everyone stop mistreating Machiavelle? If we defeat Team Flare, will everyone treat Machiavelle kindly?! Ash, I still... want Team Flare's world!"

"Ash, I'm going to defeat you! I'm Esprit, not some Machiavelli! Come on, King Squid!"

Esprit enthusiastically took the helmet from Ash with her other hand and firmly put it on her head.

"Kara!!"

At this moment, the previously lying-down Squid King rushed over quickly, its two huge tentacles attacking Ash.

The black light released from the tentacles was like a sharp blade, slashing towards Ash's back.

Instantly, blood flowed down Ash's back like red tears.

"Pickup!!"

Pikachu gathered all its strength and released a powerful golden electric current that struck King Malamute directly.

"Crack..." The squid king trembled all over from the shock of the electric current. The powerful current still impacted it, and it collapsed to the ground helplessly once again.

"Huh?...Ash?"

During this life-or-death struggle, Machiavel watched the scene with wide eyes and tension.

It wasn't for any other reason... it was simply that the boy in front of Machiel didn't show any change in expression when faced with this situation; instead, he even revealed a rather smug smile.

"You wavered. As expected, Machiavelli is a kind person, and I didn't let go like the others!"

Ash ignored the pain in his back and confirmed Machiavelli's true nature.

"There will be no more abuse, my future Pokémon Master. I promise you, I will absolutely make Machiavelle happy! I will create the world you want for you, instead of letting you continue down the wrong path!"

"Maquiel finds happiness not because of her identity as Esprit, but because of the real... kind and gentle you."

Ash's gaze was unusually firm and unwavering.

He held Machiavelle's hand tightly, conveying an endless warmth and strength.

"Um?!!"

At that moment, Machiavelle felt Ash's unwavering belief, as firm as steel.

This warmth, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminated the confusion and fear in her heart.

Something's not right... This shouldn't be happening.

As a result, Machiavelli unconsciously tightened her grip on the hand she was holding with Ash.

"Ah... this person is really strange. Since you've said so, I'll just believe you for now."

This was the first time Machiavel had met such a special person, and all the lies she had told her false self vanished.

She never intended to hurt anyone; she just... wanted to escape reality through Team Flare.

I never imagined that someone would be willing to take on everything for her.

This boy is definitely not right!

Machiavelli's feelings for Ash are similar to admiration, but currently a special kind of emotion has arisen.

Xiao Zhi is truly a special person.

After wiping away her E-suit, Esprit transformed back into Machiavelli, who was dressed in impoverished clothes.

"Thank you, Ash, I'm really glad you could help me like this... Thank you for choosing to pull me back."

Machiavel's heart pounded like a drum, her eyes filled with intense emotion, and tears glistened in them.

She opened her arms and hugged Xiaozhi without hesitation.

"Go back, Meow and the handsome guy are waiting for you."

Ash hugged Machiavelle tightly and patted her back hard, trying to comfort her.

Machiavelle hugged Ash tightly, tears streaming down his neck. Her arms were wrapped tightly around his waist, holding him close, her shoulders trembling, tears soaking her collar and leaving a wet patch.

"Hmm?~~"

...

"Ugh... My head feels so heavy. Could Zhizhi be seeing a girl right now?... No, I have to trust him. Zhizhi wouldn't cheat on me!"

As Aine walked inside Team Flare's secret base, she subconsciously touched her head.

Aine: Cheating... I doubt it! What if I'm cheated on?!

Being cheated on passively doesn't count as cheating!

In order to find the 'Cocoon of Destruction' as quickly as possible, Ash and Aine split up and set off in two groups. Aine sacrificed her breasts in exchange for her ability to communicate!

Through physical persuasion (beating), he made it even easier than Ash to reach Team Flare's base.

The combination of Diancie, Sylveon, and Primarina is basically a guaranteed win.

Unfortunately, Aine immediately ran into a wall.

Simply put...

"Nice to meet you, Chihaya Aine. Welcome to the deepest part of Team Flare's base. Your opponent is me, Pachira."

Pachira's eyes flashed with malice as she coldly stared at Aine.

He took the Poké Ball out of his pocket and gently touched it with his fingers.

Aine's heart raced, her body trembled slightly, and she felt unprecedented tension and unease in the face of Pachira's threat.

"Huh? I beat one of the Four Heavenly Kings? Really?"

423 The future Fairy-type Elite Four member!

Aine does not want to be associated with Pachira.

His intention was to come to Shixiang Town, save Kagura Hikari, and then use the power of his legs to escape.

In this situation, all we can do is fight with all our might!

Ai-chan, you're going to have to give it your all!

The guy in front of me is definitely 10 times stronger than me, maybe even 9 times stronger!

Aine's gaze was fixed on the combination of Pachira and Houndoom. They had the advantage in attributes, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"It's alright, Aine, leave it to me! I'll take down those bad guys."

In front of Aiyin, Tianxi held her little hand tightly.

Although she was unsure whether she could defeat Houndoom, after all, she had never received any training and knew nothing about her own strength.

However, as a princess, Diancie would never stand idly by and watch these people run rampant!

"Does a mere student think he can defeat me? Houndoom, Fire Abyss!"

By this time, Pachira had also finished preparing.

"Roar!!" Houndoom roared, opening its massive maw and gathering boundless heat from it. A fiery abyss formed within its mouth, like a swirling vortex, and hurtled towards Diancie.

"Tianci, unleash Diamond Storm!"

Seeing this, Aine didn't panic at all.

She just wanted to resolve this quickly so she could return to the Kanto region with Ash and the others.

Those who like him are definitely fighting desperately against Team Flare, and Aine wouldn't be pulling Ash back in a situation like this.

on the contrary...

I will defeat Pachira!

"Diamond Storm!~"

Diancie gently placed her hands on either side of her head, and a pink diamond began to swirl between them.

Then, Diancie made her move, suddenly pushing her hands forward, and the pink energy surged towards Houndoom like a storm.

The storm of diamonds collided with Houndoom's fiery abyss, creating a tremendous impact in an instant.

The flames seemed unable to withstand the impact of the diamond storm and were on the verge of being repelled.

"Crystal Chandelier Spirit, use Protect!"

A green protective shield opened up from the Crystal Chandelier Spirit, completely blocking Diancie's attack.

It instantly blocked all of Diancie's diamonds, preventing them from further harming Houndoom.

"How cunning! It's 2 against 1!"

Aine couldn't help but clench her hands tightly, feeling a little displeased.

"This isn't a Pokémon battle! Are you an idiot? You're not a good match for your boyfriend at all. Get out of here and call your boyfriend over~ You stupid fool who only knows how to rely on your lover."
