"Good luck, Ash. See you later."

"Well, I'll try my best."

Ash waved goodbye to the two girls and then turned his attention ahead, quickly noticing something amiss.

Because registering for the competition early allows you to find a seat at the front to rest and prepare, there are bound to be some rude people cutting in line. A certain pink-haired girl was being timidly cut in line by someone else and ended up at Ash's spot in no time.

It was quite timid, and Ash happened to know it; he had seen it during the 'Afro Buffalo Cup'.

Goto Ichiri is quite strong, and the two have spent some time together, so Ash noticed her immediately.

Simply put, the other person is socially awkward, has great skills, but their personality makes it difficult to utilize those skills.

"Excuse me." An older woman who came up behind Ash seemed to have her eye on the timid Goto Ichiri and was cutting in line.

"Ah, okay." Just as Goto Ichiri agreed, Sato immediately protected Goto Ichiri, preventing the old lady from cutting in line.

"Excuse me, please do not cut in line."

Xiao Zhi kept his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him, not letting her cut in line.

Having already battled Necrozma, his confidence as a trainer, or the energy he possesses called Aura, has been gradually honed. Therefore, an ordinary person would probably find it very unpleasant to see him at this moment.

If Ash's Aura ability is further enhanced, he might become a true humanoid Pokémon, able to use moves like Aura Sphere.

"I...I understand." Upon seeing this, the woman trembled and quickly retreated to the back.

After the older woman left, Ash turned his attention to Ichiri Goto ahead.

"Are you alright? Yili."

"Ugh...yes, I'm fine."

Is this some kind of Prince Charming scenario?

That's such a beautiful voice... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

Goto Ichiri was completely absorbed in it, wondering what the meaning of 'Ichiri' was.

"Hmm?...One mile?"

At that moment, Goto Ichiri raised her head, using her bangs to cover her azure eyes as she observed Satoshi.

It's Ash Ketchum with a super positive angle!!!

"Little...Little Satoshi?!" Instantly, her facial features distorted into a 6д9 shape, showing her considerable panic.

My social anxiety was at its peak; my whole body was trembling.

"Yes, it's me. Long time no see, Ichiri." Ash's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sunny smile.

Actually, it's not that we haven't seen each other for a long time. I did see her at the Tingtao Hotel, but I just didn't have a chance to say hello (there were girls all around).

Sunlight--!

For Yili, who suffers from social anxiety, this sunny boy is an opponent she absolutely cannot handle, yet for some reason, she also feels a sense of security that envelops her, causing her anxiety to dissipate.

All I can say is that this young man has a unique charm!

Ichiri subconsciously moved toward Satoshi, getting slightly closer, her body unconsciously seeking his attention.

Just like a small animal seeking its mother, Ichiri understood that she was asking Satoshi for a sense of security.

Goto Ichiri: It's all because of my body, it has nothing to do with me, Goto Ichiri!

As someone with social anxiety, it would be difficult for her to stay calm in a place like this, so having someone she can rely on is a good thing!

"Yeah, long time no see." After taking a few deep breaths, Ichiri finally managed to regain her composure and smiled at Satoshi.

Ash is indeed very gentle?

Goodbye, Xiaohongxia and Xiaoxiduo, I don't need you anymore, I've grown up!

Thinking about how she used to rely on her two teammates, Ichiri couldn't help but feel shy. But now that she had the stabilizer, she no longer needed them!

Yili: This is not needed!

The main reason was that her teammates were all busy, which made her, who is socially anxious, go out alone, muster up the courage to sign up, and unexpectedly run into Ash.

In that case, we'll just have to rely on Xiaozhi.

Xiao Zhi is the man who can become my mother!

By the way...a handsome boyfriend would definitely make me popular.

"Hey hey hey hey~"

Thinking of this, Ichiri, who shared Aine's vanity, chuckled strangely. This feeling lingered in her heart, impossible to shake off.

Xiao Zhi started complaining in his mind.

Do all pink-haired girls have this kind of outrageous laughter?

211 Do I have Steelix in my Pokédex?

Meeting Goto Ichiri was purely accidental, and Satoshi didn't have any particular thoughts about it, except that this girl seemed to have become dependent on him.

Wherever he goes, I will follow him.

[Zhibao, this woman definitely has a crush on you!]

It's probably because of social anxiety.

Ash's gaze swept over his surrounding rivals, who all looked at Ash and Ichiri with curiosity.

Because Ichiri was behind him, seeking comfort, it was undeniably quite conspicuous. And according to Ash's assessment, none of the people in this group were particularly strong, meaning the girl behind him was his strongest opponent.

Since that's the case, then we definitely need to cure social anxiety and give it a good beating!

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

Xiao Zhi turned around and stretched out his hand to Yi Li.

"If you're scared, how about you hold my hand?"

"Huh?! How...how could this be? Someone like me is already incredibly lucky to be next to Ash."

What he heard was a flustered, mumbled voice, which Xiaozhi didn't really like.

You are all good women, there's no one you don't deserve!

With this thought in mind, Ash took Goto Ichiri's hand and passed on his warmth to her.

"It's okay, there's nothing I can't do without, and this happiness will continue, so just hold my hand when you're scared."

As the strongest opponent in this competition, Ash will definitely have to take extra care of him.

It can also help cure the other person's social anxiety, which is a win-win situation.

In the last battle, Goto Ichiri sent out a Greatsmith, and this time Ash wants to know what his opponent can send out.

"Ugh... um."

Goto Ichiri blushed and gently bit her lip, looking somewhat flustered.

She tried to suppress the flutter in her heart, but couldn't hide her feelings. Yili silently gazed into his eyes, while Xiao Zhineng sensed the emotions hidden deep within her heart.

You can rest assured, right?

that is...

I really wish Xiaozhi could stay by my side for the rest of my life, so that I could have peace of mind and gain a lot of fame at the same time.

Hehe...hehehehehe~~

At this moment, Ash was exceptionally dazzling in Ichiri's eyes.

It was particularly alluring; she had an unusual itching sensation in her body that made it difficult for her to concentrate.

Unfortunately, this excitement didn't last long, since they were there to fight.

"Are children participating in this competition? Don't they know that adults are also involved?"

The middle-aged man in front of them was making sarcastic remarks, and he was holding a Poké Ball in his hand.

"It's always better not to underestimate someone, uncle!"

After saying that, Ash didn't pay too much attention to it and just warmed up, waiting for the battle to begin.

3, 2, 1, 0!

As the countdown ended, the match officially began, and the entire battlefield was immersed in the excitement.

"Eat Uncle's Onix! Go, Onix!" With that, the uncle threw it forcefully, and an Onix appeared on the ground.

Homo! When did you arrive?!

【Oh no~ Zhibao, you've been targeted by a pervert...it's scary.】

"No problem, as long as we win!"

Ash faced the situation with a confident expression, showing no sign of panic whatsoever.

He actually suspects that it might not have much effect on the base stats of some Pokémon.

For example, Onix, a Pokémon that can burrow into the ground and create huge holes, actually has a lower physical attack stat than Rattata!

Onix: 45 vs. Rattata: 56.

One word: Pull!

What can Onix do?!

Onix's physical attack can reach 13,000 points!

Ash does know several uses for Onix.

But if I'm already using Onix, why don't I consider using the Speaker Slider?

It's too embarrassing that a Pokémon is even worse than a Speaker Knox.

Even if it has evolved, it is still... still... who was it again?

Steelix... Do I even have this Pokémon in my Pokédex? I wonder if it'll still be useless after Mega Evolution?

Ash's only real source of power from Steelix was Brock's Mega Steelix, which withstood Kiawe's Torterra's Z-Move, Super Ultimate Blaze, head-on. The fact that it could withstand such a powerful attack suggests that Steelix still has some use.

Useful guy!

"Pikachu, I choose you."

Ash excitedly reached out his hand and threw the Poké Ball.

"Pickup!"

At this moment, Su Shi's face darkened as he stared intently ahead, his fingers deliberately fidgeting unhappily with his fingertips, unable to suppress his anger.

"Why...why did you talk to Ash like that?!"

How dare he make such a dirty joke at Ash! He really deserves a good beating!

She had never said such strange things before, yet Nan Tong beat her to it!

"...Su Shi, be normal."

Faced with this situation, Li Xi had no choice but to calm her down.

Shiina Tatsuki always felt that Nagasaki Motoyo had the potential to be a comedian, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to want to develop in that direction. Instead, she decided to try to win over her boyfriend.

If Nan Tong were to target them, Xiao Zhi could probably take them down with a single punch; it wouldn't be a problem at all.

Unlike Su Shi, Li Xi, despite her volatile temper, is sometimes able to view issues more objectively than Su Shi.

No!! My little Zhi!

How can I live without you?

I really want you so much~~

Ichiri, heartbroken over losing Satoshi, even considered playing her guitar to express her grief.

The stabilizer next to me disappeared, and it immediately returned to its original state.

"You don't actually think you can win, do you? Let me make this clear: Uncle's Onix is ​​incredibly strong, while Pikachu is like a stray dog ​​on the street; it's no match for us."

"Onix, use Dragon Breath!"

The Onix, full of confidence, explained itself, and Onix opened its mouth.
