Xiao Zhi and his party who left Tsukimi Mountain continued to Hualan City.

"The weather is so good, even the air is so fresh", it is difficult for Ye Zhiyi (Xiaozhi), who lived in the city most of his previous life, to smell such fresh air.

"Yes, it only takes two hours to dry the washed clothes in this kind of weather, of course, it takes three hours for thick clothes, and less than an hour for thin ones like handkerchiefs", Xiao Gang kept talking to Xiao Zhi, "Xiao Gang, I know all this, let's talk less in the future", Xiao Zhi is the most annoyed by being verbose.

"Pika~", Pikachu looked at Xiaoxia who was chasing behind, "You wait for me, where are you going?"

"You're really slow, Xiaoxia, didn't I say that you want to go to Hualan City to challenge the gym to get the badge", Ash explained to Xiaoxia.

"Hualan City? Do you really have to go? Xiaoxia said nervously.

"Then don't you need to say, the closest city to us now is Hualan City, and why is Xiaoxia so nervous", although Xiaozhi knows that Xiaoxia has a hard time, it is better to care a little bit.

"This... It's better not to go, I've heard that there will be very, very scary ghosts in that place", Xiaoxia grimaced and scared Ash.

"Xiaoxia, don't come to this set, I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world, only ghost Pokémon who like to tease people and pretend to be ghosts", Ash didn't eat Xiaoxia's set, and still continued to go to Hualan City.

"Wait for me, let's go to Withered Leaf City, there are a lot of water-based Pokémon over there, and there is also a port dock, where you can take a luxury passenger boat, or you can go to the hillside park in the port and stand and watch the sunset, wow, it's so romantic, how about it, no matter how brainless you are, you know how good it is there", Xiaoxia looked at Ash with begging eyes and asked for permission.

"Yes,,I've decided", "Great", "I'll go when I finish challenging the Hualan Gym", Ash didn't give a chance to say it sharply, Xiaoxia fell, "Xiaoxia, you can also wait there for us to pick you up, if you really have something", Xiaoxia finally followed Ash.

In the evening, another place. "Everything is fine" x3

Team Rocket enters the storage room of the Hualan City Appliance Store, Kojiro turns on the flashlight and Musashi, Meowth is looking for something, "this is it", Team Rocket walks over to the place where the huge water pipe and the large engine are placed.

······

After a period of time, Ash and Gang arrived in Hualan City smoothly.

"This is Hualan City, the streets are very beautiful", Xiao Gang said with emotion as he looked at the surrounding streets and buildings.

"That's right," Ash agreed as he watched.

"Ash, something seems to be going on over there", Ash said when he heard the sound of an alarm bell coming from across the street.

"Something should have happened, let's leave it alone", Ash knew what was going on, so he didn't want to get involved.

"Okay, I'm going to buy something, do you want to buy something, Ash", Gang said to Ash.

"Well, help me buy some ketchup", Ash felt that Pikachu had been very cold to him recently, so he wanted to buy something that Pikachu liked to increase his favorability, "Sure enough, the process of not being chased by the Sparrow at the beginning was still too low."

"Okay, I see, Ash, aren't you going to the Hualan Gym", Xiao Gang said to Ash.

"Well, I'll see you later", Ash took out the map of the town and found the Hualan Gym and kept chanting, "Hualan Gym, Hualan Gym", and finally Ash and Pikachu walked to the building with the white sea lion pattern on the roof.

"Alright, Pikachu, let's go", "Pika", Ash and Pikachu went to the Hualan Gym.

Pushing open the door, Ash saw the water ballet performance of the three Hualan sisters.

Hearing the announcement of 'The Water Ballet is about to begin', of course Ash knew that this was Xiaoxia's three sisters and the owner of the gym, so he sat down to watch the performance, and this kind of performance was very good.

After the performance, Ash walked backstage and saw the aquarium-like corridor, Ash had never been to the aquarium in his previous life, so he visited it directly, and as he walked, he heard words like "success", "great success", Ash knew that it was the three sisters who came, so he greeted him and said, "Hello, I'm here to challenge the Hualan Gym."

"Pika~", Pikachu also shouted with a fighting spirit.

"Hey, we don't have any fighting spirit anymore," Sakura said.

"Before you arrived, we had already been beaten badly by three gym trainers from Zhenxin Town," Calamus explained.

"And almost all of our Pokémon are hospitalized", and finally Peony.

"All that's left is ......," Calamus said as she released a horned goldfish.

"We're so busy making us more beautiful that we don't have time to train Pokémon," says Peony as she shows off her beauty.

The three sisters said listlessly, trying to escape the duel, which made Ash speechless.

"But who should I challenge...", that's all Ash can say.

"I know that, little sea lion," Sakura said.

The little sea lion ran to Sakura from the pool and stuck out his tongue with the blue badge, Sakura picked up the blue badge "Blue badge, do you want this, take it out if you want", Ash was about to reach out and take it.

At this moment, "Ash, you wait for me", Xiaoxia appeared and jumped in front of the three sisters of Xiaozhi and Hualan, "Sister Sakura, this game, I will help you fight", "We are the four sisters of Hualan beauty", Xiaoxia continued.

"No, it should be the three beautiful sisters and the ugly duckling", Sakura said on the stage of Xiaoxia, "These don't matter, Xiaoxia, why did you come back so soon, who was the person who boasted about Haikou and said that he would never return to his hometown if he didn't become a great Pokémon trainer", the three sisters said, "So I said I didn't want to come here the most", Xiaoxia said reluctantly.

"I see, I finally understand why you said you didn't want to be here", Ash said pretending to touch his chin.

"What, you obviously can't stand being with our three beautiful sisters, and you will be compared by others", the three sisters then sarcastically mocked Xiaoxia.

"I can't listen to it anymore, Xiaoxia and I are now travel partners, because I want to challenge the Hualan Gym, Xiaoxia is back, as long as I finish the gym, we will leave", Xiaozhi couldn't listen to the words of the three Hualan sisters to relieve Xiaoxia.

"Ash, thank you", Xiaoxia is very grateful to Ash for helping her out.

"No, Xiaoxia, why don't you pick one that is more handsome, it's so visionless" "It's not like this", Sakura looked at Ash and then mended the knife and said, this sentence made Ash speechless.

"Forget it, in short, I can only send Xiaoxia to you to fight", Sakura looked at Ash and Xiaoxia back and forth, and finally said.

"Ash, you know, you're going to compete with me", Kasumi said to Ash, "Oh".

"Hualan Gym Challenge, two-on-two, the game begins", after Ash and Xiaoxia both took their respective positions after the battle, Calamus became the referee.

"Supersonic bat, it's decided that it's you", Ash sent out the supersonic bat that had just been subdued.

"Let's play, starfish", Xiaoxia sent the starfish.

"Supersonic bat, strike first, use ultrasound", Ash preemptively, supersonic bat used ultrasound, and ultrasonic affected the starfish very well, resulting in chaos.

"It's not good, the starfish will dive into the water", Xiaoxia began to be anxious, and wanted to let the starfish go into the water to contact the chaos.

"Kasumi, it's hard to listen to trainers when Pokémon are in chaos," Ash explained to Kasumi.

"How is this", Xiaoxia was at a loss.

"The supersonic bat continued to attack with its wings", the supersonic bat's wings began to shine and hit the starfish, because the starfish was still in a state of confusion, so it was knocked out of the center of the field and the gem began to flicker and lose its ability to fight.

"Come back, Ash, you have a set, in that case, go, Jewel Starfish", Xiaoxia watched as the Starfish was defeated, so she re-sent the Jewel Starfish to fight.

"Supersonic bat, come back and rest, go, Bibi Bird", Ash retracted the supersonic bat and sent Bibi Bird to meet it.

"Bibi Bird, blow it out of the field with a strong storm", Ash ordered again, and Bibi Bird unleashed a violent storm.

"Jewel starfish, dive into the water", the jewel starfish enters the pool, constantly spinning from the water to hit the Bibi bird.

"Bibi Bird, use wings to attack", Bibi Bird used its wings to reach the newly approached gem starfish to the sidelines, "It's not good, the gem starfish's energy is running out", Xiaoxia said anxiously.

"Bibi Bird, give him the final blow, use Electro One..." Before Ash could finish speaking, the ground began to shake.

A huge machine crashed through the wall, "How can this be, what the hell is that", Calamus and Sakura said in surprise.

“······ (Team Rocket classic line)", "Pokémon near the water become stronger when they touch water", Kojiro said.

"So, just pump the water out", "There are a lot of Pokémon with greatly reduced powers", "Let's suck up all the water", and then a hose starts to suck up the water in the pool, "Stop"

"I won't let you succeed, Pikachu, 100,000 volts", Ash ordered Pikachu, Pikachu used 100,000 volts, and through the principle of water conduction, the current has been passed to Team Rocket's machine.

"Do you smell a smell of smoke", Musashi asked, "It seems that there really is" Kojiro replied, "Two fools, it's the machine that is smoking", Meow Meow saw the machine smoking, and quickly told Musashi and Kojiro

"Ah, water conducts electricity, let's forget about it," Kojiro replied, floating out.

The machine finally exploded, "what a nasty feeling", and Team Rocket flew away again.

After the incident calmed down, "Who wins in the result", for the badge, Ash asked eagerly.

"Of course you won, you already won the first game, and it was just Pikachu's crisis that was resolved, so you won", Sakura said to Ash at this time.

"It's a blue badge, you can take it," Calamus said, taking out the blue badge and handing it to Ash.

"Ash, congratulations on winning", Xiaoxia watched Ash work hard all the way, so she was very convinced, and came to congratulate Ash.

"Thanks, by the way, Xiaoxia, I invite you to travel with me again, is that okay?" Ash happily put away the blue badge and said to Xiaoxia.

"Of course", Xiaoxia also happily accepted Ash's invitation.

"Xiaoxia, you have to work hard to be a Pokémon trainer, otherwise, not only will you not be as beautiful as us, but you will also be ......", at this time, Peony said 'encouragingly'.

"Alright", Xiaoxia shouted impatiently.

After saying goodbye to their three sisters, Ash and Xiaxia left the gym.

And at this time, "Hey, Xiaozhi", Xiao Gang also came back, "Xiao Xia is also there", Xiao Gang said after seeing Xiao Xia.

"Okay, let's keep going, by the way, Xiao Gang, have you bought the ketchup", Xiao Zhi asked, "Don't worry, I won't let you down", Xiao Gang said with a face facing the sky.

"Pikachu, this is specially bought for you", Pikachu climbed on Ash's shoulder when he saw the ketchup, grabbed the ketchup from Ash's hand, opened the lid and sucked it, and just like that, Ash and his party embarked on the journey again.
