"How are you doing? Ah, you want a book. ”

Ash took Kamitoise's book out of his backpack and handed it to Shigeru.

"Uh, thank you, did Grandpa let you come?"

"Hmm. In the morning you want the doctor to ask, and in the afternoon the doctor calls me..."

After going through the formalities of leaving, Shigeru and Ash each walked out of the battle center side by side with a drink, Pikachu happily sucking on ketchup, his tail wagging and looking in a good mood.

The people on the road were still bustling, as if they had been thrown into a sea of people.

"Actually, it's been lately. It's not the first time you've been in the hospital, are you? ”

"Yes and what? What's the problem? ”

"Half of Grandpa's medicine is used to bathe this guy for you."

Shigeru glanced at Ash.

"A fool who goes into battle in person and is in close contact with elves? Pikachu, next time you see Ash jumping into the arena in high spirits, please calm this guy up. ”

"Pickup pickup."

"Hey, Pikachu, where the hell are you standing!"

Ash shook his eyes, severely condemning the treacherous behavior of Pikachu raising his little hand on his shoulder, and glanced at Shigeru with a shadow on his face.

"Believe it or not, let you try to try the feeling of dying..."

"Okay, okay, you're amazing, you're amazing, yo, I'm going to cry, Mom."

Shigeru scoffs at Ash's childish behavior and grimaces at Ash.

"Childish is not childish!"

"Yes, yes, you are so mature, Ash, who goes head-to-head with Pokémon 1v1 every day, is really mature."

“... Who's that trainer who beat you badly? ”

"Anyway, just follow me."

"Where are we going now?"

"By the sea."

Browsing the pedestrians of various styles, and being accepted by pedestrians as a kind of style, Ash and Xiaomao came to the Withered Leaf Pier.

The luxury ferries were lined up, and Ash's eyes gradually became strange as he looked at Xiao Mao.

"When I was young, I heard the doctor say that when you go on a trip, I'll give you a luxury ferry?"

"Do you believe it yourself?"

“... Unbelief. ”

"That's it."

The two of them finally stopped in front of a small but delicate cruise ship, which did not seem to be very conspicuous compared to other cruise ships. But after a while, Ash found out that this cruise ship was actually open to the public, but it seemed to be only open to Pokémon trainers?

"It's a grandpa friend's cruise... A master-level figure who has made a name for himself in the circle of trainers in the Sinnoh region and the Hoenn region, he has been organizing social events for Pokémon trainers since he became famous. ”

"Huh?"

Ash was stunned and asked:

"Why didn't you tell me before..."

"Because you didn't know where you ran in the research institute that day!"

Shigeru tugged at the corners of his mouth, ignored Ash, and walked up the cruise ship's slide that stretched to the shore.

“... Don't know where to run? ”

“... Which time? ”

"It's not like I didn't mean not to come... It's just that I'm always lost... Hey Xiaomao, wait for me! ”

Looking at Shigeru, who was no longer visible, Ash hurriedly rushed onto the cruise ship, only to find Shigeru talking to a blue-haired girl at the top of the stairs.

The girl is very beautiful, with fair skin and delicate faces. When you cover your mouth and smile, you are elegant and fresh, and it doesn't look amazing but it's very comfortable. Seeing Ash who was reckless and running on a cruise ship, Xiao Mao stretched out his hand and slumped on Ash's shoulder, and said casually:

"This is my friend who has been playing since I was a child, Ash, and this year is also the first time I have traveled out on a trainer."

Xiao Zhi was slightly stunned, but then he also put on Xiao Mao's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Hello, my name is Ash, and this is my buddy Pikachu."

"Pickup pickup."

Pikachu, who jumped on top of Ash's head, grabbed Ash's clothes and shook his hand at the girl.

"Hello, Ash. My name is Miyaaki Smoke, if you don't suggest it, you can call me Smoke. ”

Gong Mingxun smiled slightly.

She wore the usual white short-sleeved T-shirt and blue short jeans, but she had a pure feeling that no other girl could match, simple and flawless.

"I'm a Pokémon trainer from Sinnoh, and it's nice to meet you."

"So today is my last day in Kanto, and thank you for your company these times, Shigeru-chan. I'll go to the arena first... Come to me if you're ready, I'll be there for you. ”

"Ah, okay, I'll see you in a minute."

"Goodbye."

Gong Mingxun waved his hand, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

Only then did Shigeru and Ash put their arms down.

"Hey, Mao..."

Ash gently stabbed Shigeru beside him.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Mao took his gaze back from the place where Gong Mingxun disappeared "quite reluctantly".

"Hey, you wouldn't have fallen in love at first sight, would you? This girl is so beautiful, where is it? ”

“... Shut up, you! Anything else, hey, I'm only ten years old! ”

"Hey, it hurts, okay! Pikachu, power him up! ”

"Pickup pickup."

"Hey, Pikachu, I'm your trainer, okay?"

"It's good that Pikachu is willing to travel with you as a stupid trainer, how can I be willing to hurt someone like me who has always been so good to him since I was a child?"

Xiao Mao pursed his lips disdainfully, took Pikachu directly into his arms and touched his head.

"yes, Pikachu."

"Pickup."

Pikachu not only nodded, but also turned his head to make a grimace at Ash.

Ash sighed, and instead laughed.

"There's really no way, Xiaomao, I'm afraid that Pikachu may not be willing to play when I fight your Pokémon in the future, what should I do?"

"Idiot, then work hard and become a genius better than me."

Shigeru smiled as well, and walked towards the cruise ship with Pikachu in his arms. Ash tilted his head helplessly, and chased after him after sending an emoji with an expression of how could life be so difficult.

When chasing along the road, Ash didn't forget to glance around casually. I found that there were indeed a lot of trainers on the ship, and many of them were accompanied by some Pokémon they didn't know, and they all seemed to be very different from the Pokémon in Kanto.

It's all Pokémon I don't know...

Hoenn region and Sinnoh region, I must visit it after I finish the quartz conference.

By the way, I remember that the doctor said that the roots of the Pokémon Coordinator, a new class that is emerging in the Kanto region, are extended from the Hoenn region or the Sinnoh region, and you must see it when the time comes...
