What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

After this series of moves, Ash was almost ready to agree, but Aine couldn't stand it anymore.

"Su Shi, don't bother Xiao Zhi like that. He's a little tired after a tough battle."

Kill you!

The light in Su Shi's azure pupils had faded, but her false mask remained.

"Little Aiyin, this is not good. You need a massage after a tough battle."

"Can Su Shi give me a massage first?"

"Eh?~~~Want to die...I don't think Ai-yin would ever say no to that."

The two exchanged glances, their fighting spirit even higher than during a Pokémon battle!

The war for men!

I think Aine only has one day left to live... But women fighting and stuff, so much so much (and much more)~~

What nonsense are you talking about?

I think Aine and Motoyo have a pretty good relationship. They always seem like rivals.

Ash tilted his head, looking puzzled.

I actually think they exude a murderous aura.

"Alright, then I'll give you a massage first, Xiao Aiyin!"

After speaking, Su Shi smiled gently at the other person, but her hands were clenched into fists. If Xiao Zhi hadn't been there, she was sure she wouldn't have been able to control her anger.

Nagasaki Motoyo will never forgive a guy like that!

Upon seeing this, Aine trembled and quickly took Ash's hand.

"We're running out of time. Now that we've collected our rewards, let's wait for Lantern and Lixi to come back~ Ash~ Su Shi can hold Ash's other dog~"

I forgive you!

"That's right, let's just hold hands and wait like this."

Upon hearing this, Su Shi gently took Xiao Zhi's hand, feeling the touch of her beloved's hand, and couldn't help but tremble all over.

On this one day, she was able to treat Aine as a human being.

Ash was cleverly sandwiched between the two girls, and began to feel confused and lost, which made him feel somewhat at a loss.

"Huh? What's the point of this?"

Ash, you really are a fool~~

Su Shi is such an easy woman to handle...

Behind your back, Xiaozhi and I have actually done a lot of things~~

"Hey hehe~"

Ai Yin's mood began to improve, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she let out a few silly laughs.

At this moment, Su Shi, who hadn't been holding Xiao Zhi's hand, hardened up again.

Can I fight? There's a newbie woman in my team who keeps giving Tang laughs. Can I fight her?

Wait online, hurry!

"Ok?"

Ash blinked. Normally, Mygo should be in pairs, but why did he only see Souyo and not Kaname?

"Speaking of which, where did Lena go?"

Xiao Zhi's eyes held a hint of doubt as he stared at Su Shi.

That look is so intense... Oh no, I can't lie now.

I really want to surpass him!

Should we subdue the dream-attracting creature and use hypnosis on him?

Upon seeing this scene, Su Shi's cheeks flushed, and her eyes revealed deep love, making the whole atmosphere warm and romantic.

So she responded honestly to both of them.

"I lost it."

“Hmm?”×2.

...

"Come back, Miss Skirt." After the tournament ended, Wakaba Mutsu coldly recalled her Pokémon, while Toyokawa Shoko packed her belongings and slung her bag over her shoulder.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mu. I have something to do today, so I'll be going now."

"Xiangzi, where do you want to go?"

"They'll probably hold a celebration party. I want to go see Satoshi and maybe get some work while I'm at it."

Shoko Toyokawa said without hesitation.

Today, Nagasaki Motoyo inexplicably came to cause trouble, which annoyed her. At times like this, spending time with Satoshi made her feel at ease.

There's a sense of family... but Xiangzi basically has no family left, even his father has become a drunken scoundrel.

Toyokawa Shoko picked up her phone, lowered her head, and hovered her finger over Xiaozhi's account, a shy expression appearing on her face.

"...I guess you could call this a proactive invitation to a date."

59. Reward yourself

After the tournament ended, there were unexpectedly many things to deal with.

Xiao Zhi needs to attend the celebration banquet first, meet with Xiangzi about his matter, and also meet with Aijo Karen and Kagura Hikari.

Right now, what time management master Xiao Zhi wants to do most is... battle!

To test Froakie's strength, Aine noticed something amiss during the battle, as if she had merged with Froakie, even her movements were synchronized with Froakie's. When the two returned to the hall of Rainbow Feather, Aine specifically mentioned this matter.

It's a bit like the effect of a bond transformation, immersing you completely in the battle.

At the very last moment, Ash didn't shout, but Froakie jumped up in response to his inner voice.

Oh no, could it be that I'm the one who's most illegal?!

Will I actually be able to handcraft wave missiles in the future?

Xiao Zhi lowered his head and began to think.

[Zhibao, instead of dealing with this, shouldn't you go and meet with Hualian and Xiaoguang first? They seem to know you.]

[Hehehe~ It seems those two girls are interested in you. Use it on their flower petals...]

"Don't act crazy here."

Before Frizzle could finish speaking, Ash interrupted.

If this is said, it will be a huge problem; it must be dealt with severely!

"And actually we didn't exchange contact methods."

Rainbow Feather is such a big school, yet we didn't exchange contact information. The next time we meet, it'll probably be in class, or the other person will come looking for us in person.

In addition, Xiao Zhi needs to meet with Xiangzi first. He doesn't know why Xiangzi sent him a message, but since Xiangzi has been kind to him, he must repay the favor.

It just so happens that the 'Afro Buffalo Cup' event has just ended, so I can take this opportunity to buy something for Toyokawa Shoko.

Most students will buy themselves something as a reward after the tournament.

[Zhibao, shouldn't you reward yourself?]

"I'll give you two punches first, then reward myself."

[Ugh...Idiot~~]

After casually replying to Fuly that it was okay, Ash turned his attention to reality, while Toyokawa Shoko was waiting for him not far away.

As the last rays of the setting sun bathed the room, Toyokawa Shoko leaned alone against the mottled corner of the wall, her long, flowing pigtails swaying gently in the breeze.

The soft light of the setting sun cast dappled shadows on Toyokawa Shoko's face, adding a touch of mystery and allure. She waited quietly for him, her eyes filled with anticipation and longing. A gentle breeze ruffled her hair.

She's a beautiful girl.

She's a beautiful girl no matter where you look at her...

Unfortunately, that person wasn't buying it!

"Good afternoon, Xiangzi."

"Well, good afternoon."

Xiao Zhi greeted the other person casually, and the two strolled around the school as usual.

Unaffected by Xiangzi's charm for a moment, the one who arrived at the agreed location was none other than the big blockhead—Xiao Zhi.

With such a blockhead, who can stop him!

It must be the legendary Yuto Seidai who could make Ash blush.

Unfortunately, Toyokawa Shoko fell for this.

An interesting man!

"Xiao Zhi, you got third place, right? Congratulations." Toyokawa Shoko walked lightly down the road, whispering to the other person.

Although the anger from meeting Souyo had long since dissipated, his heart began to race uncontrollably when he met Satoshi.

Having worked as a customer service representative for so long, Xiao Xiang no longer knows how to interact with people properly, even though the people around her aren't exactly respectable either.

"Huh? I didn't tell you that you already knew about this."

"I was just a little curious about my rival's strength, so I went out of my way to investigate."

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi's cheeks flushed slightly, and his tone became somewhat unnatural.

Now that things have come to this, I can no longer tell the other party that I have been following them for a period of time.

In his attempt to learn the team's name, he was discovered by Souji, who was also following Ash, and the two began a battle.

The outcome was successful, but this shameful matter must never be spoken of.

If I say it, won't it become...?

Xiangzi: "I like you."

Xiao Zhi: "I don't like you."

Is this really the case?!

Of course, there was another possibility in Toyokawa Shoko's mind: that the other person wouldn't be able to guess it based on their emotional intelligence.

It seems that one day it will take a kiss from Ash to entangle him, spray water, and lay eggs before the wood will finally understand.

It's just that I'd never do it!

For now, just having a formidable rival is enough to attract Ash's attention.

Magic Masked Meow, Noivern, Milotic... the power gap between the two is still too large. To be honest, Xiangzi's opinion is...

We'll win!

Moreover, she still has matters to resolve concerning the Toyokawa family, so she can't be in a relationship here.

I don't care about romance at all!

A determined glint flashed in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes.

[Could this woman also have a tsundere side?]

"I see. Thank you. I'm really glad that Xiangzi considers me a formidable rival."

Xiao Zhi turned his head, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, like sunshine.

Make no attempt to hide your thoughts; the more formidable rivals the better, so you can become friends and learn from each other.

But this scene completely changed Xiangzi's mind.

Never mind, except for today!

Consider it a reward for yourself!
