What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

"I understand. I'll wait until you've finished washing up before starting the gym battle. Let's all go watch the gym battle together."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi showed no refusal or disappointment; instead, he gladly accepted the girls' request.

"Huh?!"×3

Instantly, all three girls present widened their eyes, unable to believe what Ash had said.

Even Lena was completely bewildered.

Where's my battle genius, Ash?! Who are you?!

Shouldn't we just go and fight?!

The main issue is that Fu-ye left a psychological scar on Ash, and Ash doesn't want to spend his time drinking tea and trimming plants during gym battles anymore. Having someone accompany him is quite nice in these situations!

It's all just the cunning schemes of Xiao Zhi!

There are also strategies for gym battles.

"I just need to give Winged Flying and Garchomp a little maintenance, so they won't battle for now. I plan to send them to the gym this time. I'll go see Korrina first, and I'll contact you later for the gym battle."

Ash briefly explained his reasons for going, explaining that he needed to give the two Pokémon courage first.

Winged and Garchomp rarely face off, and they might lose courage and become at a loss when faced with high-level matches like this.

The psychological problems of Pokémon should also be taken seriously; this is what trainers should be doing!

"What... I see."

Ai Yin breathed a sigh of relief; she thought her boyfriend had finally come to his senses.

She got excited for nothing!

Damn it!

The three girls happily went to the inn to take a bath, while Ash set off first on his journey to find Korrina, heading straight for the Sala City Gym.

...

"Hasn't the next challenger arrived yet? Ugh... I can't wait any longer! I'd better see for myself who it is!"

At the Sala Gym, Korrina eagerly awaited the arrival of the next challenger.

At the same time, she took out her phone, ready to investigate the latest challenger.

Recently, gym leaders have started using their mobile phones to schedule trainers.

In other words, people like Korni don't use this kind of thing, and she doesn't watch it often.

Korrina is the kind of trainer who doesn't hold back, so she's encountered very few challengers at the Sala Gym these past few days.

They've all been thoroughly beaten up by that powerful combination!

This caused Korrina's winning streak to slow down. Not all gym leaders go easy on their opponents. More accurately, gym leaders who don't go easy on their opponents have a much higher quality of life than those who do.

Being strong means → I'll challenge you again after I've collected several badges!

Not everyone is a corporate slave like Aoki, there's no need to force yourself to be tough!

Otherwise, if you force yourself to do it, Sai Fuhao will laugh at you mercilessly!

The "hard-on" tactics typically used by "socialites" are ineffective against the wealthy Sai Fuhao!

Korne wasn't good at holding back; she just wanted a fierce clash with her challenger.

"Let me see who it is! I really want to battle you in a Pokémon battle!"

Korne twirled her arms, cutely tiptoed, and then raised her phone to see the next challenger.

Immediately, Xiao Zhi's handsome and resolute face shone brightly on the phone screen.

"Ash?!"

Korne's eyes narrowed slightly. She paused for a moment upon seeing the photo.

I never expected to see my childhood playmate here.

As Ash is a member of the Asama family, he traveled frequently as a child and once visited Sara City. Although his stay there was short, he left a deep and powerful impression on Korrina.

You'll understand after spending just a short time with them!

Xiao Zhi is a lot like me!

They're both battle enthusiasts, always accompanied by a Pokémon, and they're both cute and powerful. Most importantly, they share the same energetic and sunny disposition.

When she was little, Korrina often battled Ash.

Well... it was incredibly exhilarating. Just battling Ash made Korrina feel an irresistible stirring of her romantic feelings, a kind of itchy sensation that was hard to suppress.

They're the same type of trainer!

The law of like charges repelling each other has become like charges attracting each other here!

I want to beat Ash, no... I want to battle Ash's Pokémon!!

Korne drooled without realizing it before she came to her senses. She shook her head, her fighting spirit ignited within her.

"Oh, so my next opponent is Ash. Then I absolutely cannot lose! Absolutely, absolutely cannot lose! Let's give Ash a warm welcome, Lucario!"

"Ouch~"

Korrina looked at Lucario with intense fervor, and at the same time, she set off with Lucario, full of anticipation.

Before heading out, he didn't forget to take out the glove containing the key stone.

A few days ago, Korni found a strange stone underground in the Tower of Refinement.

According to her grandfather, who was lying down, there was a special stone in the Refinement Tower that could allow Lucario to evolve.

It was just a legend after all. Korne didn't believe it at first, otherwise it would have spread throughout Carlos and other regions long ago.

But... I didn't expect it to actually exist, and Korni has already mastered it.

Korne put the glove containing the keystone on her left hand, a smile playing on her lips.

"Let's use something beyond evolution to battle Ash."

396 The two are a good match!

"Is this the Saro Dojo? It's really big."

"Pikachu pikachu~" "Gabu~" "Haba~"

After saying goodbye to Aine and the others, Ash and Pikachu quickly headed to the Sala City Gym. Along the way, he also summoned Garchomp and Winglash.

Although the appearance of the Winged Hair was quite eye-catching, it was successfully disguised by wearing a Mimikyu-style suit. After all, the suit was made by the virtuous and loving Aine herself.

Compared to that, getting into the dojo is definitely the most important thing.

"Ok?"

Ash stopped in front of the door, his gaze fixed on the unknown gate, and suddenly realized that it was already open.

Just then, a nimble figure rushed out from the door. It was Korrina, the gym leader of the Sala City Gym. Wearing roller skates, she approached Ash with lightning speed and then ran towards him at an astonishing pace, giving him a warm hug.

"Ash~ Long time no see!"

"Well?!"

In that instant, Xiao Zhi realized one thing: the girl in front of him knew him.

As everyone knows, Super Newbies are not afraid of anything except amnesia!

If the amnesia is exposed, the trainer's career might be over (due to excessive family pampering). Plus, the reason for the amnesia is truly outrageous.

I accidentally bumped my head on the wall while I was sleeping and now I have amnesia!

It's too embarrassing to talk about.

"...Long time no see, Korni!"

In this situation, Xiao Zhi had no choice but to put on a full performance and pretend that they knew each other.

Ash is currently looking forward to Pokémon battles!

How can we let something like this bother us!

"Hmm, it really has been a long time. It's been years since we last met. Are these Ash's Pokémon? Pikachu, Garchomp, and a flying Mimikyu? They all seem pretty strong!"

After hugging Ash for a while, Korrina let go and turned her attention to Ash's Pokémon.

Pikachu, Garchomp, and Winged Beast all caught Korrina's attention. If Korrina's guess is correct, these are the Pokémon that Ash will be using today.

The Sala City Gym is a 3v3 event, and Ash did his research beforehand before coming.

They actually paid a high amount of their own match points to challenge, instead of waiting to qualify for the high school league.

You must care a lot about me!

As expected of Ash, he's just great!

Korne's cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but become more excited about the boy in front of her.

First, Korrina was certain she wasn't a pervert, but she really wanted to hug Ash tightly to express her deepest gratitude.

"Yes, I want to be with Korni..."

Ash's mind was completely absorbed by the battle, and he had no intention of explaining things to Korrina in detail.

How could you possibly talk about something as shameful as amnesia!

He didn't even wait for Ash to finish speaking...

"Let's fight!"

Korrina took Ash's hand and looked at him with eyes full of passion and desire.

Don't misunderstand, it's just pure friendship.

"Ash, you definitely want to battle my gym, right? How about battling me and my Lucario?! I'm really strong!"

"We've already won 99 straight!"

Korrina's fingers were so white they were almost translucent, reflecting the purity of snowflakes. She deliberately and gently stroked Ash's fingertips, conveying a hint of desire.

He pressed his whole body close to Ash, his chest against Ash's.

"Awooo!" Even Lucario jumped over to support its master.

At this moment, even Ash was a little confused by Korrina.

You understand me so well!

As expected, Korrina is still the gym leader!

Wow! Korini is too strong! Aine and the like are no match for her!

"No problem! Ah... wait a minute, I have a companion who wants to come and watch the game."

Ash makes a spirited declaration, but is quickly drawn to the story of Karen, Aine, and Rana.

If he were alone, he would have already been rolling around on the battlefield with Korni, but he came with his companions today.

Since that's the case, I must take on the responsibilities of a boyfriend!

Both Karen and Aine are wonderful girls.

Xiao Zhi needs to think this through!

"Hmm? A battle later? Sure, Ash, why don't you go into the Sora Gym first? My Sora Gym is huge, you can play around with your Pokémon to your heart's content here~"

Korrina smiled brightly, keeping a certain distance from Ash.

There was absolutely nothing to complain about; Korrina was already very content to be able to reunite with Ash.

I would be even more satisfied if I could roll onto the battlefield with Ash!

It's not a bed, it's a battlefield!

I always felt that Ash Ketchum was so handsome when he grew up...

Looking at Ash in front of her, Korrina felt her heart race and her cheeks flush. She couldn't help but want to get closer to him and breathe in his scent.

I have an urge to battle Pokémon!

It's just that... something on Ash's body attracted Korrina's attention, causing her battle brain to shut down.

"Ash...you have this rock too?"
