Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

At night, in the lobby of the Pokémon Center, Dawn and Brock stood anxiously waiting at the door.

"Where did Ash go...? Could he be lost?"

Xiao Guang asked this question. It was already so late. Although they hadn't agreed on a time to be back, they shouldn't be out there any longer, right?

"It shouldn't be that bad..." Xiao Gang replied somewhat uncertainly.

While it's true that they can easily get separated when traveling, this is a city, after all. They could easily ask any passerby for directions, so how could they possibly get lost?

"So, you've encountered some kind of trouble?"

"That's definitely more likely..."

Xiao Gang nodded and said this.

After all, Ash is indeed the type who easily gets into trouble. This is not meant as a derogatory term, but simply a statement of fact. During the time Brock traveled alone without encountering anything strange, however, when he traveled with Ash, events that most people would only experience once a year would follow one after another.

Does Ash have some kind of strange constitution?

Xiao Gang began to have such doubts at this moment.

Just as the two were considering whether to go out and look for Ash, they finally saw a figure with Pikachu walking from across the street.

"coming."

"So slow, I need to go ask him what happened... Hmm? What's that Ash holding?"

"?"

Before Ash could even get close, Dawn and Brock spotted the strange object in Ash's arms. From its outline, it looked like a container... but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be...

"A Pokémon egg?"

"what?"

Xiaogang's speculation left Xiaoguang completely bewildered.

Why is it that Ash can get a Pokémon egg after only being away for a day?

.......

"Ugh, I'm exhausted... But I never expected to have such a great harvest, right, Pikachu?"

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu, walking beside Ash, patted its belly contentedly, looking quite relaxed.

After inviting them to the Pokémon Company, Terumoto warmly welcomed them. They enjoyed themselves immensely from afternoon snacks and tea until dinner. Although most of the time was spent talking about matters related to his commission, it did not interfere with Ash and Pikachu's meal.

Although Xiaogang cooked for them during their long stay in the wild, the wild is still the wild, and the limitations on ingredients are too great. Xiaozhi was already very satisfied to be able to eat such delicious food after so long.

Moreover, before parting, in order to test the egg-hatching detection function of this newly developed Pokémon Watch, the other party actually gave Ash a Pokémon egg. He said he didn't know what Pokémon was in the egg, and it seemed to be a gift from a business partner.

While it wouldn't be difficult for such a large company to gather dozens of Pokémon eggs to test the latest technology, Teruhiko seems more inclined to test whether the function can still work properly in the more realistic wild environment. From this perspective, Ash is arguably the one who benefits more.

"Ok?"

"Skin?"

Ash had just arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon Center when he saw Dawn and Brock standing there, looking at him as if they were about to interrogate a criminal.

"What's wrong?" Ash asked curiously.

"You're asking what's wrong..." Xiao Guang circled around Xiao Zhi suspiciously, carefully observing every detail, and asked, "That's what we should be asking you, Xiao Zhi. What have you been doing out for so long? And you even brought back a Pokémon egg."

As he got closer, Hikari was finally able to see what the egg looked like by the light. It was a Pokémon egg with light blue and gray stripes. Even through the container, Hikari could still feel how exquisite the egg was.

"Hmm...it's a long story..."

Since he had been asked, Ash had no choice but to tell his entire day's story in detail. Dawn and Brock listened in astonishment until Ash finally mentioned that Mr. Terumoto, the general manager of the Pokémon Watch Company, had given him a special Pokémon Watch and the Pokémon Egg in his hand. Only then did the two of them finally burst out laughing.

"To be honest, I think you must have some special constitution, Ash... After all, it's too strange to encounter something like this on our first day in Zhuqing City, isn't it?" Brock said with a sullen face, and he was becoming more and more convinced of the guess he had made up earlier.

"Huh?! Ash, you've already gotten the Pokémon Watch? Waaah... When I went to queue up to reserve one today, they said they were sold out. You're so lucky..." Dawn looked at the Pokémon Watch on Ash's wrist with envy and said dejectedly.

"Hmm... I did think about getting one for you too... but they said all the Pokémon watches produced in the last two days are already pre-ordered, so if you want one, you'll probably have to wait until the day after tomorrow or even a day later..."

"I'm willing to wait as long as I can get the Pokémon Watch!"

"Okay... I'll ask around for you later..."

"Okay! Please!"

It was only at times like this that Xiao Guang's attitude became so sincere. But whatever, he had to contact someone anyway tomorrow. It was just a matter of asking around. As for whether he could get it, that was up to luck.

"By the way, have you successfully registered for the Grand Contest?"

"Ah... um... it worked..."

Hikari visibly tensed up when the topic of the Grand Contest came up, but the next second she immediately changed her expression, patted her chest confidently, and said, "No problem, no problem! Tomorrow I'll definitely get my first win since participating in the Grand Contest! Right, Piplup?"

"Poga!"

At this moment, Piplup, who had been standing silently beside Hikari, also began to shout out with the same confident attitude, which could be considered as echoing Hikari.

However, in Ash's eyes, Dawn's appearance was still a bit strange. Although she was saying her usual catchphrase, Dawn seemed to have a strange tension compared to usual. Hopefully, it wouldn't affect her performance the next day.
