Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

On the way to Eden City, or rather, halfway through Ash and Dawn's training, a young woman with long brown hair suddenly walked over quickly and asked to borrow Ash's Pikachu.

"I'm really begging you! Please make an exception!!"

"I said no..."

Despite the other party's repeated requests, Xiaozhi still insisted on his own idea.

After all, borrowing Pokémon is not something that can be borrowed and passed around. What's important is the Pokémon's own thoughts, right?

Beside Ash, Dawn looked confused. After all, this was the first time she'd ever seen someone borrow a Pokémon, and the other person seemed to have some unspeakable reason for it. As for Brock... he'd been knocked to the ground by Delinquent's Poison Pulse after trying to chat him up, and was still twitching all over.

"Please, please! Just three days! Three days will do!"

Although Ash had clearly refused, the other party persisted in pleading. So Ash and Pikachu exchanged a glance and said helplessly, "Sigh... let's explain why first."

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu nodded in agreement.

After all, Pikachu has a kind nature, and it doesn't want to see others looking so distressed.

"Hmm! Actually..."

......

The cause and effect of the matter are not complicated. To summarize, it is that the grandmother of a woman named Tamami lost a Pikachu called Gummy.

However, rather than saying it was lost, it's more accurate to say that Pikachu left on its own, and they still haven't found the Pikachu named Gummy. Right now, Tamami's grandmother's cake shop is about to participate in a competition, and if Gummy isn't found, her grandmother will be constantly worried, causing her to even mess up her best cakes. That's why she thought of having Ash's Pikachu pretend to be Gummy to get through the next three days.

"What...what should we do...?"

Clearly, Hikaru was moved by Tamami's story, and even Takeshi, who was lying on the ground just a moment ago, stood up and expressed his agreement with a serious expression.

However, Ash still did not change his opinion.

"But what if three days pass? What if we still can't find the gummy candies after three days? The shock of parting again so soon after a long separation must be worse than a sweet lie, right?"

"this......"

Ash's words silenced Tamami, as did Hikaru and Brock, who had been somewhat supportive of Tamami just moments before.

Hope is indeed a cruel thing. If you can't see it, you might be able to give up, but if hope is always in a state of not yet being there, that's what's most maddening and frustrating.

"But I just want Grandma to feel at ease these next few days."

With her head down and her hands clasped together, Zhu Shi finally understood just how absurd her thoughts had been.

If you put yourself in her shoes, let alone an elderly grandmother, if you were in her shoes facing the scene of reuniting with and parting with your favorite Pokémon, you wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Replacing the gummy bear won't work, but if it's just about letting my Pikachu stay with your grandma for a while to make her feel a little more at ease, that would be fine, right, Pikachu?"

"Pikachu~"

Pikachu nodded in agreement, raising its paw.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Tamami bowed deeply to Satoshi and expressed her gratitude.

.......

Arriving at a nearby cake shop, Tamami explained the situation to her grandmother, Hao Tiandi. Although she still felt a little regretful, Hao Tiandi warmly welcomed Ash and the others. As for Pikachu... even though this Pikachu wasn't her own gummy bear, Hao Tiandi still lovingly stroked it, and Pikachu seemed to enjoy it.

"Phew, that's great! Grandma looks a bit more energetic now."

As Tamami watched her grandmother interact with Pikachu, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She never imagined that this matter could be resolved without fabrication; it almost turned into a disaster because of her carelessness.

"But we still need to find the gummy bears quickly, right? Otherwise, won't this place go back to normal after Pikachu leaves?"

While the current scene is heartening, Xiao Gang is still considering the future.

Zhu Shi understood this, but understanding was one thing, but...

"By the way, Ms. Tamami, do you know why the gummy bear left on its own? It couldn't have just left without saying a word, could it?"

Xiao Guang asked this question while eating the cake that Hao Tiandi had given them.

"Hmm... I'm not entirely sure either, but Grandma originally planned to use pears to make a new type of cake this year. However, the pears were just too hard, and neither we nor Gummy could open them... Gummy seemed to get a little depressed during that time, but since it went out to collect tree fruits with Grandma every day, we didn't pay much attention..."

It turned out to be the case.

After hearing this, Ash and the others probably understood.

In other words, did the gummy bear leave because it wanted to become stronger, strong enough to crush the eggplant pear?

Seeing the way Satoshi and the others looked at each other, even if Tamami was slow to understand, she understood what they meant. However, although she had considered this possibility, but...

“My grandma and I have already explored this forest, but we have never encountered any gummy bears.”

"That's what I said with a sigh," said Tamami.

If Gummy Bear really was still in this forest, she should have found it soon enough. But since no matter how they searched or called out, they couldn't get Gummy Bear to show itself, the only possibility was that it had gone to a very far place.

If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have begged Ash to lend her Pikachu for a few days on the way, because finding the gummy bears was already a desperate situation for them.

"Mami, Ash, I'm going out with Pikachu to pick some berries. Do you want to come along? Or do you want to rest at the shop?"

“I’ll go with you,” Tamami said, standing up.

"I'll stay here, after all, we haven't finished the cake yet."

"Me too."

"I also......"

Ash and his two friends chose to enjoy afternoon tea here in peace. After all, they now knew Mimi and Hao Tiandi, and knowing that they weren't bad people, Pikachu could safely stay by their side.

There are indeed relatively few pictures of Xia.
