"I know I'm sorry for you, Pikachu, for making your efforts go to waste"

"Pikachu"

"Are you comforting me?"

"And Brother Xingluo, you helped me find a way, and you also tutored me a lot of knowledge, I'm sorry"

Xingluo looked at Ash with an apologetic face, and he didn't know what to say, after all, he could only help here, and he couldn't replace Ash on the field, after all, it still depended on Ash himself.

"I don't care, the main thing is to look at yourself, as long as you and Pikachu don't regret it, and you don't get the gray badge, but you will be a big step behind Xiao Mao, I estimate that Xiao Mao is already close to the second gym, and he will be able to get his second gym badge soon, are you really okay?"

Starfall's words successfully spurred Ash, who left his frustration behind and rekindled his fighting spirit.

"I just don't want to lose to that guy Xiaomao, I'll catch up with him sooner or later, and I'll definitely get the next gym badge"

Ash regained his spirit under the stimulation of Starfall, but Starfall's spirit was not very good, because.

"By the way, it's getting dark, why don't we spend the night at the Pokémon Center in Nibi City and set off?"

"Ah, this"

Ash realized that the time had come to dusk, and the sky was about to be shrouded in darkness.

"I had only one thought at the time, that is, to go directly to the next gym, get the gym badge, and keep moving forward, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly."

Ash scratched his head with a smirk, and the stars fell on the black lines all over his head, and his face darkened instantly.

"Forget it, it's impossible to go back now, keep going, but be prepared to sleep in the wild"

"Got it"

When Starfall and Ash were about to move on, Xiao Gang's voice came from behind, and Ash looked at Xiao Gang running towards the two of them in confusion, as for Starfall, he already knew that the next time for Xiao Gang to join Ash's travel.

"Hey, Ash, wait a minute"

"Xiaogang, what's wrong?"

"Ash, you forgot this"

Ash was very surprised to see the gray badge in Xiao Gang's hand, because he hadn't won the gym competition at all.

"This is a badge of evidence to defeat the gym trainer, but I can't accept it because I didn't win the gym at all, and I abstained from the competition."

"No, you actually won, both in battle and in love for Pokémon"

Xiao Gang faced the lake as he spoke, looking very nostalgic for the past, as if he remembered his former self or his former dream.

"Actually, I think it's more interesting to cultivate Pokémon than to find someone to fight, I want to be not the world's number one trainer, but a breeder, but because I have to take care of my younger siblings, I can't leave this place, so I want to ask you to fulfill my dream instead of me, are you willing to accept this badge?"

"Well, I took the first badge"

Ash took over the gray badge from Xiao Gang's hand, and Starfall had been forgotten by the two, so he had to sit under the tree and watch the two of them, tsk, the next thing is the appearance of Uncle Wu Neng, and then Ash successfully subdued Xiao Gang, Xiao Gang and Xiao Ash traveled together for the longest time, the Guandu area, the Joto area, the Fangyuan area, the development area of the Guandu region, the Sinnoh region, and the beginning of the Orange Islands, Xiao Gang's dream has also changed from a Pokémon breeder to a Pokémon doctor, it's been a long, long time, it's really full of a lot of memories, and unconsciously the star falls into memory.

"Go, Xiaogang, go chase your dreams"

At this moment, Uncle Wu Neng's voice sounded, and I don't know when Uncle Wu Neng came to the side of the three of Xingluo.

"Uncle Wu Neng"

Uncle Wu Neng took off his disguise.

"It's Daddy"

Xiao Gang's words made Xiao Ash very surprised, because he heard from Uncle Wu Neng that Xiao Gang had an irresponsible father, but he didn't expect that he was talking about either someone else or himself.

"In this case, the waste dad who never came back after leaving home is ......"

"That's right, that's me, my father who left to become the world's No. 1 Pokémon trainer, but because I didn't fulfill my dream, I went home to face my family."

Xiao Zhi instantly felt puzzled, since Uncle Wu Neng is Xiao Gang's father, then why should he help himself?

"Then you help me because ......"

"That's because you missed me so much that you didn't have any hope at all"

Uncle Wu Neng's words directly hit Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi felt helpless, he didn't expect that he was so unfavorable.

"Am I that bad?"

"In contrast, that big Jupiter setting has a lot of hope, and I rarely see a rookie trainer who hasn't gotten their first badge to raise Pokémon very well."

Xingluo, who was leaning against the big tree on the side, was very surprised, because he didn't expect to be able to get such a high evaluation from Uncle Wu Neng.

"Thank you very much for your compliment, my nurturing is only one of the aspects, the main thing is that my partners have the desire to become stronger, I just respond to their wishes, I do my best to help them"

"You don't have to worry about your younger siblings anymore, go and fulfill your dream with me!"

Uncle Wu Neng has already made plans when he appears in front of Xiao Gang, after all, his irresponsibility has made Xiao Gang's past few years very hard, and Xiao Gang's dream has been delayed so far, it is time to take on the responsibilities he needs to bear.

"Dad, I have a word for you"

"I left you for so many years, no matter how much you scolded me, you deserved it"

Uncle Wu Neng was ready to be scolded by Xiao Gang, but Xiao Gang just reached into his pocket and took a needle and thread.

"And Jiro likes red miso, Saburo likes white miso, Xiaomei likes mixed miso, and ......"

Uncle Wu Neng hurriedly looked for a pen and paper on himself.

"Wait a minute, wait for me to take a note!"

"Gorou doesn't like miso soup, he likes red bean soup, and then Mimi likes corn soup, so I want it to be canned, remember"

Sure enough, the feeling of seeing it with their own eyes was different, the stars fell to the side and watched, and by the time they hit the road again, it was already dark, but it didn't matter, because they were ready to sleep in the wild.

"That's the way it is, Ash, Starfall, I'm going to join you on your journey from now on"

"Okay, by the way, I don't care if I add one person or two people"

"I don't care, I'm just with Ash temporarily, and we'll be separated after Hualan City."

"And she has been following you since just now", Xiao Gang asked the doubts in his heart

"Explain in advance, she's just following Ash", Starfall quickly explained.

"Don't forget about the bike, I won't leave you until you compensate me"

Xiaoxia's words made Ash speechless, and Xingluo on the side had already laughed crazy in his heart, but it was not easy to show it.

"Okay, got it, Pikachu, let's go"

"Pikachu"

"Ash, wait a minute"

"You don't want to run"

"Really"

The group ran towards the next city, or a better tomorrow.
