Ditto doesn't move

But, it doesn't matter.

We already know that besides your own problems, there are other things affecting you.

We will help you, Ash.

"Hehehe, even if you want to explain something, you should wait until you answer our questions."

"Come on, let me see. How have you changed since we parted? Have you grown taller, gained weight, or lost weight?"

P.S.: There was a slight typo, which has been corrected.

Hikaru left a deeper impression on me, probably because the original Shigeru's dozen or so beautiful cheerleaders left such a deep impression.

It's a bit poignant to see Ash with Dawn cheering him on.

Volume 2, Grand Alliance Chapter: Chapter 180 Doctor! Help me!

"Hahahaha! Don't stop him! Serena, kiss him!"

"I want to see if Ash has really forgotten your farewell kiss, and whether he'll blush with embarrassment because of your bold confession!"

Uh...

The little idiot's expression changed drastically as he watched the shy but quickly determined girl approach, her unique fragrance and bright red lips bringing her closer.

"Hehehe, let me help you remember!"

"They kissed! They kissed! Ash, how are you feeling now? How are you feeling?"

In despair, Ash cried out to the sky, this time not calling for Pikachu's name, but shouting:

"Doctor, help me!!!"

what?

Ash...? (Unconcerned)

Professor Kukui, his only Pokémon adoptive father who could help him, looked up slightly from the beach thousands of meters away.

Even though he had a slight feeling in his heart, he had some opinions about Ash's recent dazed and confused state, and his beloved Professor Barnet was by his side.

After thinking about it, I realized that maybe I was just imagining things.

Dr. Kukui, dressed in her finest attire, continued to spend this hard-won date with the person she loved.

Three hours.

It only took three hours for Pikachu to wake up from his deep sleep.

The aura that could be called Pikachu's aura surged for a moment the instant he opened his eyes, and then subsided again as usual.

Its memory is clearly still stuck at the moment it was attacked by a strange fragrance and then fell into a deep sleep.

Even without a trainer by his side, he has solved countless incidents single-handedly with just one Pokémon. Pikachu realized the moment he woke up that Ash was not by his side.

Could something terrible have happened again?

The small, helpless, and adorable electric mouse glanced at the ceiling and immediately ruled out that possibility.

It's that familiar ceiling.

It seems it wasn't an attack by a villainous organization; it was probably just a minor incident that happens every day.

Jumping from the bed to the floor, and using his short forelimbs to open the door, the familiar scene reminded Pikachu of where he was.

This is Mamane's house. I visited here with Ash before.

The uncle and aunt were chatting happily with someone, and the enticing aroma of roasted masala wafted from outside the door.

Pikachu's imposing manner further diminished, and he reverted to his previous innocent and adorable self. Smelling the aroma, he sneaked out and immediately witnessed this scene:

Ash's Charizard was proudly striking a bodybuilding pose on the lawn in the yard, while next to it stood Kiawe's Charizard, which looked defiant but had actually been conquered by the powerful body and aura, letting out a defiant roar.

The little electric mouse felt a little relieved, and when it turned its head, it saw that most of its former companions were curiously looking at different areas on the lawn in the yard.

Greninja, Sceptile, Chimchar, Krookodile, Pidgeot...

Everyone came out of the Poké Ball and interacted enthusiastically with Ash's classmates.

Great! It wasn't an attack by a villainous organization, but rather a surprise from Ash's classmates.

The Sceptile, leaning against the doorway, saw Pikachu emerge and blurted out:

"Gawoo! (That was some impressive momentum!)"

The Infernape, standing nearby, also heard its voice and scratched its face, slightly disgruntled.

"Flame (What, are you convinced?)"

Pikachu quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Pikachu (No, I was just worried about bad guys.)"

emmm…………

Without responding to Pikachu's answer, Sceptile and Infernape both subtly averted their gazes, tacitly avoiding mentioning the fact that the girls who used to be close friends were communicating with their trainer.

After all, they had just personally released themselves from the Poké Ball and carefully entrusted it to her.

The excellent soundproofing prevented any sounds from the basement from reaching the room, so even though Pikachu was still a little uneasy about not seeing Ash, it still took it for granted that it would introduce its former and current friends (such as Toggotmar and Vulpix) to each other.

Three hours have passed, so what terrible thing has happened to Ash this time?

　'Erjiulingwu:{shanxiaqiyi zhizhizhizhizhi.

Questioning, relentless questioning.

It has been going on for three hours. She not only put her heart and soul into it, but also tried to get the amazing boy to take her seriously and respond to her feelings.

Now all my thoughts and expectations have been made clear. I've said everything except for directly asking, "Please be my boyfriend."

No matter how sincere the words were, repeating them dozens of times wouldn't get an answer. Even Mallow was getting numb in the face of Ash's silence.

"Damn it! Ash, I've had enough! Since you love Pokémon so much, then you might as well spend your whole life with Pokémon!"

Serena, who seemed to be the first to express her feelings, was unexpectedly stubborn because her mother was an armored rhinoceros rider. In the end, she abandoned her gentlest side and angrily turned to run out of the basement.

But Mao stopped him.

The young cook smiled and said:

"Don't give up right away, Serena."

"I don't know if you've noticed, but from the very beginning until now, Ash has just been clenching his teeth and not saying a word. He hasn't expressed his feelings, nor has he clearly said he's refusing."

“Everyone, your good intentions and feelings have touched him, but they haven’t broken down his most stubborn spots.”

Serena was also puzzled; who would have thought that Ash would resist so stubbornly?

Even the most clueless straight man, once trapped and unable to escape, and forced to face a girl's simplest words, "I like you," should understand what's going on.

Actually, Xiao Zhi wasn't really a blockhead; all the girls present understood this.

If they hadn't discovered, through casual glances and gestures during a previous trip, that the other person felt the same flutter of emotion that transcended friendship, how could they have followed each other here?

Judging from his current appearance, it seems that he still has something to hold onto, and he would not mind giving up everything and enduring harm for it.

What angered Serena the most was that Serena stubbornly refused to accept, reject, or react for some reason.

Mao is right, this is not just stubbornness, it's arrogance.

It's like a young person suffering from adolescent delusions, thinking they've seen through the world, that they're the only one sober while everyone else is drunk, that they're fighting against the whole world alone, and that they even enjoy the incomprehension and dissent of others.

But since the girl has already taken this much initiative, can't you at least tell us your ridiculous reason?

Even if it's an old-fashioned pursuit of dreams, how can you think we wouldn't understand you?

Haven't we already understood you and tolerated you for so long?

To act in such a way in response to a girl's heartfelt confession is to trample on her dignity and insult her!

How can anyone not be angry? How can anyone not be angry?

How could Mao not know what the girls were thinking? Looking at the silent Xiao Zhi, he suddenly chuckled:

"Hehe, it's alright."

"This was also within our expectations. I have learned a profound lesson from my past experiences and this great adventure: only the most brutal truth can cross that barrier and touch people's hearts."

"At that time, I felt that only such truthful words could change Xiaozhi."

"Are you ready, Ash, to face your ultimate insult?"

Volume 2: The Grand League Arc: Chapter 181 Ash's Ultimate Insult

How would you evaluate Ash Ketchum, the amazing boy who loves Pokémon and is forever the protagonist?

Mao still remembers how complicated Xia Ming's eyes were when she asked him for his opinion on Xiao Zhi.

The emperor once wrote in his secret archives that he could not ignore the abnormalities that were visible to the naked eye, otherwise he would feel that his brain was being insulted.

So who is the biggest anomaly in the Pokémon world?

Xiao Zhi.

Every day, watching the other party wander around right in front of him, the emperor could only pretend to be ignorant and ignore the strange scene that would seem odd if he thought about it even a little.

After all, it's geared towards children.

When it comes to Ash, no one can say a word against his unique drive, his naivety, and his love for Pokémon. Even Xia Ming himself acknowledges his unwavering dedication to his dreams and offered his help.

But advantages are advantages, and disadvantages are disadvantages.

It's impossible to negate the treacherous actions he took just because Lan Meng treats his subordinates well.

So, putting aside Ash's strengths for now and only mentioning his weaknesses, what is it that makes everyone feel strange?

I care too much about Pokémon.

It's not that caring about Pokémon is bad, but in reality, it seems to have reached an extreme level.

Or, to put it another way, if he cares so much about Pokémon, does he care about other people in the same way?

"That's the truth I wanted to tell you."

The young cook looked at her silent classmate and, as if recalling her own past, whispered:

"Besides eating and sleeping, you can easily spend 80% of your day on Pokémon. But what about the remaining 20% ​​of your time with your friends and family?"

"Just like Serena and the others."

"Ash, let's not talk about people we've only met once, or even travel companions we've traveled with for months or a year..."

"Since I met you, I have never seen you call Professor Oak or your mother."

The girls were stunned for a moment, then, as if finally realizing something, they turned to look at the astonishing boy who was bound by vines.

The latter, after being questioned for several hours by Yi (B2) Ling j Erqiu (4) Ba, showed a panicked expression for the first time on his face, which had remained almost unchanged, as if he had been exposed.

Who is Professor Oak?

Putting aside his academic identity and status, he was like a guide who led Ash into the world of Pokémon, and even a single identity cannot describe his importance to Ash.

A good teacher, a helpful friend, a supporter behind the scenes, a guide when confused, with multiple complex identities and a position of companionship from the very beginning, it's impossible for him to be inferior to Xiaoxia and Xiaogang.

As for Ash's mother, there's no need to say more.

The word "mother" is enough to explain everything.

“There must be a reason for any abnormality. These are Mr. Xia Ming’s exact words to me.”

The young cook sighed:

"After understanding these premises and facts, some new questions arise when looking back at what happened before."

People I met during my travels through various events and then lost contact with, I used to treat as casual acquaintances and not take them to heart.

Travel companions who parted ways no longer kept in touch. In the past, I would have considered it as each going our own way and not wanting to affect the other.

He almost never proactively contacted his relatives or the PhD who guided him; he used to think it was just a child's stubbornness and discouragement after failure.

People who love Pokémon are often willing to sacrifice their lives to save them, which they used to consider as a genuine and heartfelt passion.

When Mr. Xia Ming brought out the pearls represented by these clues and strung them into a chain, Mao had already guessed some of Xiao Zhi's thoughts.
