Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

"That's really impressive. I didn't expect you to have traveled to so many regions, Ash, and you've always managed to achieve great results in the League tournaments."

Although it was Hikari who invited Ash, Ayako and Ash were talking more at the dinner table, while Hikari seemed more like an outsider.

However, upon closer reflection, there seems to be no other way, since both Ash and Ayako have travel experience, and they naturally have more in common to talk about.

In many places, Hikari didn't have a chance to interrupt. She just ate her meal quietly and absorbed some useful information from Ayako and Satoshi's conversation.

"It wasn't exactly good. Most of them ended in regret. If I had been more mature back then, things might have been different."

As Ash spoke, Charizard suddenly came to mind.

During the Indigo League Round of 16, my immaturity at the time failed to earn Charizard's approval. As expected, when I sent it into battle, it simply lay down on the ground, refusing to fight. Consequently, when facing Hiro, it was judged to have lost its will to fight and lost the match.

How did he feel at the time? He can't quite recall it now, but it probably wasn't disappointment or anything like that. After all, he was really too weak back then. Whether in terms of battle command or other aspects, he couldn't be considered a mature Pokémon trainer.

The most disappointing thing for Ash at the Indigo League wasn't his defeat, but his inability to compete against Gary in his first League tournament.

Shigeru hadn't expected it, and Ash had even less expected that he would be defeated so early.

However, it was precisely because of the failure that he and Xiao Mao had more time to reflect on their problems, and it was that failure that spurred their growth later on.

That's how he got to where he is today, and that's how Xiao Mao got to where he is today.

"I think you're being a bit too modest. For a rookie in their first year, let alone achieving results in the League Tournament, even just getting the eight badges and qualifying for the League Tournament is no easy feat. And to say you're immature..."

Xiao Guang: "?!"

vigilance.

Although Ayako didn't immediately look at her, judging by this trend, the next topic would most likely be...

"Sigh, if only Hikari could be as mature as you~ She's always so forgetful, and easily gets lost in her own world, never listens to anyone, and always says 'no problem,' but every time she says 'no problem,' it's usually... "

"No way! Don't talk nonsense!!"

Hikaru interrupted Ayako indignantly. She never expected that even though she hadn't said anything, she would be used as a negative example.

"Eh~?"

Ayako let out a long, meaningful sigh.

"But you didn't bring your keys when you went out today, did you? Although I didn't remind you today, you've probably been unable to get home because you didn't bring your keys at least ten times, right? If you're really growing up, you should at least remember this little thing."

"Waaah..."

Hikari couldn't refute it, so he just lowered his head and continued eating silently. Seeing Hikari like this, Satoshi spoke up:

"As long as you travel, you will grow every day. My situation used to be worse than Xiao Guang's. On my first day of debut, I was chased by dozens of Spearow. In order to escape, I even had to jump into the river. At that time, Pikachu was not friendly to people. It was really troublesome."

"Pickup!"

Meanwhile, Pikachu, who was quietly eating, was shocked when the conversation turned to its own embarrassing past. It quickly turned away, not daring to face the gazes of Aipom and Dawn.

However, after hearing such an amusing story, Aipom couldn't stay idle any longer. It put down its food, walked behind Pikachu, and poked it with its hand, seemingly wanting to find out more about what had happened before.

"Really? That's really a bit..."

Ayako's expression was full of sympathy.

She thought Ash would be the type to grow steadily, but she never expected Ash to suffer such a crushing defeat on his very first day of debut.

"While being a Pokémon trainer does come with danger, your situation is one in a thousand."

"Hmph! I'm very popular with Pokémon! I'll never encounter a situation where I'm chased or attacked by Pokémon!"

Xiao Guang, for reasons unknown, made such a bold statement before the trip even began.

However, Xiao Zhi did not refute this, but simply continued talking.

"Looking back now, it was indeed very dangerous, but it was alright. After all, my relationship with Pikachu improved after surviving that danger, and we also encountered some good things. Thinking about it now, I feel it was all worth it."

In the sky after the rain, a colorful figure fluttered its beautiful wings and slowly passed by on one side of the sky, with a rainbow accompanying it all the way into the distance.

At the time, Ash didn't know who that mysterious Pokémon was, but during his future travels, he learned that the Pokémon he had encountered was actually the legendary Ho-Oh.

It disappeared from people's sight after the Bell Tower incident and then began to observe the world from behind the scenes.

Ho-Oh must have seen the story of how she met Pikachu, and Ho-Oh must have recognized the bond and affection between them, otherwise it wouldn't have appeared in front of her.

Although they were just passing by, there was no communication or eye contact.

But Ash now feels that ever since he met Ho-Oh that day, his journey has been filled with all sorts of surprises and "good luck".

Well, this good luck refers to always being involved in events related to legendary Pokémon.

Although it was indeed dangerous, he had no complaints.

After all, he is a Pokémon Trainer, and being able to encounter all sorts of legendary Pokémon and create memories is something to be happy about.

Every danger he encountered was transformed into experience and motivation to become stronger, urging him to continue on his journey.

At the dinner table, Ayako and Hikari, as the hosts, barely spoke. They simply listened quietly to the various stories that Satoshi told, completely absorbed in them.

They would only ask questions out of curiosity if something came up during the session; most of the time, they were just ordinary spectators.

Even Ayako, who has experienced travel, admires and longs for Ash's journey, let alone Hikari, who has not yet embarked on her own journey.

As Xiaozhi recounted his many stories, Xiaoguang's expectations and desires, along with an idea, began to take root and grow in her mind.
