Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

"You wretched brat!"

"How dare they look down on us!"

"Let me show you how powerful Team Rocket is, meow!"

"Sonams!"

Ash's smile was naturally misunderstood by the Team Rocket members.

Seeing that they had almost lost their fighting spirit and had become excited again, Ash just scratched his cheek apologetically and said with a smile:

"So, before the battle, may I ask you a question? Have you seen my Aipom?"

"?"

Each of the group members had a big question mark above their heads.

What do you mean? What does your missing Pokémon have to do with us? Why are you asking us?

Just as the Rockets were pondering this, a commotion suddenly came from above.

Just as they all looked up, they saw a purple figure leap down from the tree, its tail shimmering with a dazzling white light.

"Trap! Trap! Trap!"

"Trap, meow!"

"Hey, Asuka!"

"Sonams!"

After a flurry of quick repositioning, Team Rocket managed to move Wobbuffet below Aipom before it could launch its attack, allowing Wobbuffet to engage in combat.

"Hurry up, use your counter-punch!"

Musashi didn't care about the consequences and just gave the order, but it wouldn't have mattered if Musashi hadn't given the order.

After all, Wobbuffet has matured and has grown to the point where it can rely on itself through so many battles.

It's just a concentrated barrage of attacks; it would be too easy for it to bounce back.

"So~~~Nance!!"

As expected, the Wobbuffet stood upright, its body shimmering with a white light. Just as the concentrated attack was about to hit the Wobbuffet and, as was to be expected, bounced back—

The long-tailed monster started laughing, looking like it had succeeded in its plan, and then jumped away to the side.

"Eh?"

The sudden halt of Aipom's attack left Team Rocket completely bewildered once again.

They hadn't even realized what was happening yet; they just felt that tingling, numb sensation starting to flow through their bodies again.

He strained to look in Ash's direction—

They then realized that while Aipom had drawn their attention, Pikachu had seized the opportunity to gather its power and unleash a second Thunderbolt at them.

"Little, little, little..."

"You little brat!!!"

"You're so despicable!!"

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh~~ Nance!"

This time, Pikachu's Thunderbolt was a fully charged attack, so it wouldn't end so easily.

After Ash noticed that the white light emanating from Wobbuffet had disappeared, he waved his hand and commanded Aipom, "Aipom, Focus Attack!"

Without the threat of a counter-punch, no one could stop Aipom's attacks.

As Aipom unleashed its powerful punch, combined with the force of Thunderbolt, an explosion suddenly rang out in the forest, followed by several figures flying towards the horizon.

As usual, it ended like this: Team Rocket were once again blasted away by Ash, turning into shooting stars in the sky.

"Why is this happening?!"

"Meow, the growth of humans is terrifying. I never thought even little brats would start using such wicked schemes."

"I told you our preparations this time were too sloppy. If only you had listened to me earlier..."

"Shut up!" x2

"Sonams!!"

"This feeling is awful!!!" xN

......

Looking at the Team Rocket members who had already turned into shooting stars, Ash clapped his hands in satisfaction and said:

"Well done, thank you for your hard work~ But I really didn't expect to run into Team Rocket in that situation... They really are persistent."

“Pikachu…”

"OKI!"

Pikachu seemed a bit tired of the Team Rocket members.

After all, he was their target, and being watched like this day and night, it was impossible not to be tired.

Compared to Pikachu, Aipom seemed much more excited. It was still immersed in the powerful attack that had sent the group of people flying into the sky, constantly waving its fist-shaped tail.

He was also constantly swinging his fists forward, and although he was a bit short, he really had the aura of a boxer.

Ash noticed Pikachu's fatigue and Aipom's quietness after its initial excitement.

Although they rested for a long time on the plane, somehow, unless they were lying in bed, it was hard to call it resting to sleep while sitting on a long-distance bus or airplane; at most, it just made them feel less sleepy.

The fatigue from a long journey requires finding a place to rest properly.

"Let's put the Rockets thing aside for now and head to the first city. Wait, let me see."

As Ash said this, he took out a map of the Sinnoh region from his backpack under the puzzled gazes of Pikachu and Aipom, and checked the markings on the map.

Then he put it away again and said:

"Futaba Town doesn't seem to be far from where we are. It should be about another half hour's walk. Once we get there, we'll have a big meal and then rest for a bit."

“Pika!”

"OKI!"

Upon hearing that a feast was coming soon, Pikachu and Aipom were extremely excited, but they weren't the only ones; Ash was feeling the same way.

Of course, the big meal is only one aspect; the main reasons are probably only known to Ash himself.

Futaba Town, I really miss it.

Walking slowly down the slope towards the bottom of the hill, a gentle breeze swept across the road, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot summer day. Xiaozhi's thoughts also traveled back to his memories of meeting her, carried by the wind.

Is she in Futaba Town? Or has she already set off?

The girl Xiaozhi misses most now is Xiaoguang, the one with whom he had the best rapport and the most similar personality during their many trips.

Speaking of regrets, the trip with Xiaoguang also ended in regret...

Everyone had initially agreed to travel together for a short period of time, but it fell through because Xiaoguang had something to do.

However, since it concerned Xiao Guang's future, he and Xiao Gang naturally didn't say anything. They simply bid farewell with their sincerest blessings.

Memories are pearls, friendship is diamonds.

Even though there were some regrets in the final period, they still moved towards their respective dreams.

However, unlike herself, Hikari had already fulfilled her dream, winning the grand celebration several years later.

But my dream was put on pause and rewind on that stage.

Whether Xiaoguang can still go on this trip together remains a mystery.

The events of the past have changed because of my involvement. Will my future encounters with Hikari and my reunion with Kogoro also change?

Ash was completely unaware of this, but the journey had to continue nonetheless.

You never know what the future holds until you reach tomorrow, and that's part of the beauty of travel.
