Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

"Speaking of which, Xiaogang, what were you doing there? You looked like you'd lost your soul."

After learning that Ash and Dawn were traveling together, Brock naturally joined them.

While walking on the road, Ash finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked this question.

"I mean... squatting in that spot is really scary."

Xiao Guang nodded with deep feeling.

"About this...sigh..."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Gang sighed deeply again.

"actually......"

Under the watchful eyes of Ash and Dawn, Brock finally revealed the reason why he had been hiding in that place and crying.

While I'm saying I'll explain everything, there's really only one reason.

......

After Xiaogang finished recounting his experience, Xiaoguang gave him a look that was hard to describe, while Xiaozhi suddenly realized.

"So, to put it simply, the girl who gave you a ride got a call from her boyfriend just as you were about to confess your feelings, and then she left you here, right?"

Xiao Zhi suddenly remembered that there was indeed a similar scene before, but Xiao Gang's mood was obviously more disappointed than he remembered. Was it because he was not by Xiao Gang's side immediately, so he had no one to talk to about his feelings?

"But...isn't it a bit strange to fall in love with someone at first sight?"

Although Xiaoguang has never experienced adult relationships, she still offered some insightful opinions.

"If you fall in love at first sight, is it just because you like someone's appearance? Can that be considered love?"

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!"

Xiao Gang quickly gave a negative answer to Xiao Guang's opinion.

"You can only have a future if you like someone at first sight! If you don't feel anything for someone at first impression, it's unlikely that you'll develop a relationship where you like each other later on."

"Oh..." Xiaoguang replied, only half understanding, "So she has feelings for you?"

Xiao Gang: "Cough cough!"

Xiao Gang turned around and started crying again.

He didn't understand why Xiaoguang, who seemed so quiet, could say such hurtful things without realizing it.

Even though it's the middle of summer, Xiao Gang felt ice-cold all over.

Let's not talk about this anymore...

Seeing that Xiao Gang's mood was about to drop again, Xiao Zhi quickly changed the subject.

"Isn't it almost noon? Shall we have lunch first? I'm starving."

"Pikachu~"

"OKI!"

Upon hearing that lunch was coming, Pikachu and Aipom perked up and started raising their hands in agreement like crazy.

They hadn't eaten Xiao Gang's cooking for a while, and they were naturally excited to be able to eat that delicious food again.

"That's true! People shouldn't always look back at sad past experiences. Instead of dwelling on the morning's failures, we should think about what to eat for lunch!"

Xiao Gang said this excitedly, and then ran ahead to a small open space and put down his backpack.

Under Xiao Guang's surprised gaze, Xiao Gang quickly took out all sorts of things from his backpack.

Pots and pans, various seasonings, and even folding tables and chairs.

Dawn looked at Ash with an incredulous expression, then pointed at Brock with a stammering finger as if she wanted to say something.

Don't ask me.

Xiao Zhi shrugged, indicating his helplessness.

"I'm also very curious about how Xiaogang managed to stuff so many things into his backpack, even though his backpack is indeed very big."

"Even if it's big, it can't be this exaggerated! This is a table! A table! And so many stools! There's even a stew pot!"

Xiao Guang finally managed to organize her thoughts, but even so, Xiao Zhi could still sense her confusion.

Although he really wanted to explain it to her, Xiao Zhi himself didn't understand how Xiao Gang had done it, so he couldn't help him.

......

After this little episode, Xiao Guang finally forced himself to accept this seemingly exaggerated and impossible reality.

After all, instead of getting hung up on how Xiaogang did it, it's better to focus on the bubbling stew pot.

"It smells so good~~"

Sitting on the stool, Xiao Guang's mouth started watering just from the aroma wafting from the pot.

Actually, she wasn't that hungry when Ash suggested having lunch, but after smelling the aroma of Brock's cooking, she knew she was actually hungry.

"Today's lunch is meat slice soup, and I've added my special seasoning. Besides the fresh and savory flavor of the ingredients, you can also taste a slight sour and spicy flavor. On such a hot day, a bowl of meat soup with a bowl of rice is the best thing to do."

Xiao Gang, who has returned to the culinary world, exudes a completely different aura than before.

If he was a dejected heartbroken man before, now he is like a legendary figure in the culinary world. He simply opened his eyes, which always seemed to be only a slit, and showed his snow-white teeth, and said this with such confidence.

"(Glug~)"

Hikari and Satoshi swallowed hard; the aroma of the broth had completely whetted their appetites.

Seeing this, Xiao Gang stopped trying to tempt them and instead picked up his bowl to serve each of them a bowl, and then added a bowl of rice to each of them.

"Eat up, don't be shy, there's plenty here, and there will be more after you finish eating."

"You won't be polite!"

"I'm going to start eating!"

After Brock brought the food up, Ash and Dawn completely abandoned their inhibitions and began to feast.

Meanwhile, Pikachu and Aipom were enjoying Brock's specially prepared Pokémon food.

For the two who had grown accustomed to the ordinary Pokémon food sold in the market these past few days, Brock's Pokémon food was definitely top-notch.

Just as everyone was enjoying a leisurely and pleasant lunch, up in a large tree not far from them...

A small figure stood on the treetop, its gaze fixed on the Pokémon food in front of Pikachu and Aipom, as if it were ready to pounce.

“Mu~”

It emitted low growls from its throat, and its center of gravity lowered accordingly.

When it saw that Aipom's gaze had shifted to Pikachu's bowl, revealing a momentary opening, its entire body swooped down.

.......
