Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

the next day.

On the mountain road leading from Yuanzhi Town to Baidai Forest.

On a cloudy, gloomy day.

"Damn it...where am I...?"

“Pikachu…”

Ash and Pikachu looked around at the unfamiliar, almost identical environment with a sense of despair, and complained to each other.

Of course, Ash didn't get lost, absolutely not!

They were on their way when Team Rocket arrived with an even bigger robot than before, claiming they wanted revenge. Before Ash and the others could even make a move, the robot piloted by Team Rocket seemed to self-destruct for some unknown internal reason.

That's right, it simply self-destructed. The shockwave from the explosion not only turned Team Rocket into several shooting stars in the sky, but Ash and his friends were also not spared.

Ash and Pikachu, who were originally planning to face Team Rocket, were blown the farthest. If it weren't for their strong physiques and the fact that the place where they landed had been cushioned by piles of grass laid out by wild Pokémon collecting berries, even Ash would have had to rest for a while before continuing on his way.

As for Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang, who were less affected, their condition was unknown. In Xiao Zhi's last memory, although they were not blown away with him, they did not seem to be in much better shape. At the very least, they also fell from the mountain path into the forest below.

"These guys are a real pain... They'd be better off treating themselves to something nice with all that money spent on self-destructing robots. I can't take it anymore..."

"Pi~"

Pikachu nodded in agreement, deeply convinced. At least the machines Team Rocket made in the past mostly only blew themselves up, but now they've been dragged into it too.

"There's no other way but to find a way out... Starbird! I choose you!"

Ash threw out Staraptor's Poké Ball, intending for Staraptor to lead the way in the air, but...

"Mu?!"

Staraptor had just taken off when a strong gust of wind blew by, and its body began to shake violently. If it hadn't evolved and gained more weight and strength, it probably wouldn't have been able to keep itself steady in such a stormy weather.

"Come back..."

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi could only sigh helplessly.

It seems I can only rely on myself now.

If Staraptor could evolve into Staraptor, it would probably have the ability to move through stormy weather like this.

......

There was no way to find our way, no road signs, and we didn't know our location. Even the map function on the Pokémon Watch was having some problems; the cursor was sometimes there and sometimes not, and we didn't know if it was a signal issue.

While staying put and waiting is the best option when you're lost in the wild, Ash isn't one to sit idly by. Waiting for Dawn and Brock to come find him isn't his style, and more importantly...

No food!

If Ash is traveling alone, he will always bring plenty of water and a lot of energy bars, just in case.

But unlike when he traveled alone, he had Xiao Gang by his side.

All the food and water for the three of them were in Brock's backpack. Not only was the quantity plentiful, but the variety was also plentiful. With such a treasure chest, Ash certainly wouldn't continue his fine tradition of bringing his own food.

Perhaps this is what it means to die from comfort.

.......

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Xiao Gang and Xiao Guang, who fell from the cliff into the forest below, were both knocked unconscious for a short time due to the impact, but they were not seriously injured.

Compared to Ash, who had flown off to who-knows-where, their situation was clearly much better, since at least they knew their location and where they were headed.

They weren't too worried about Ash getting lost. After all, Ash had so many Pokémon with him. Although he might not be able to find his way out for a while in this storm, they were sure he would find them once the weather cleared up.

Therefore, the two were not in a hurry, and instead followed the map to the nearest ordinary Pokémon Center located in the mountains.

"You're saying Mai and the ponya were blown away by the wind?!"

Just as they arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, Dawn and Brock heard Nurse Joy's anxious voice.

"I'm sorry... Although I tried to keep up with Mai, the wind was just too strong... The puffballs couldn't control their direction of flight at all. The storm hasn't stopped yet. I just came back to tell you after I made sure Mai was being blown west by the wind."

Upon closer inspection, Xiaogang and Xiaoguang saw a young girl named Joey facing... their mother, or rather, Joey.

He was apologizing to her.

"...No, your judgment is correct...It's too dangerous to move forward in this kind of weather using a roly-poly toy...Anyway, we need to hurry...Hmm?"

Miss Joey was about to leave when she turned around and saw Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang, who both looked equally nervous.

"Um... excuse me for overhearing your conversation. Is there anything we can do to help?"

Judging from their conversation, the one swept away by the wind was probably a young child.

Unlike Ash's situation, it would be very dangerous in such a forest without a powerful Pokémon, especially in such harsh weather. Naturally, the kind-hearted Dawn and Brock were worried.

They had only come to the Pokémon Center to avoid the commotion, but now...

They had more important things to do.

.......

Just as Brock and Dawn agreed to help Nurse Joy find Mai and Dribou that had been swept away by the wind, Ash encountered them in a cave—

"Um...you..."

"?!"

Ash swore he only wanted to go into the cave to avoid the impending storm, but he never expected to see a child who looked only 5 or 6 years old in the cave.

And this child... needless to say, you can tell at a glance that it's Nurse Joy's. It must have run away from the nearby Pokémon Center, right?

But none of that matters. The key is how to get her to lower her guard.

Ash stared at Nurse Joy, who was holding a Float and pointing it at his head, seemingly intending to throw it like a rock. Ash fell into deep thought.

P.S.: I'm asking for gifts every day~ QAQ
