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

"What did you say?! That bastard kidnapped my Kelney!!!"

"Hmm, let's just pretend we never called." "Awoo~~"

Korne immediately hung up the phone, and Lucario rubbed his head in exasperation.

Our own trainer seems to have become even dumber than before.

Is this what happens when you're obsessed with love?

But Lucario could tell that Korrina was smiling more often than before, which was quite pleasing.

"Everyone, can you help find the people around here? Try your best to rescue them."

After a moment of commotion, Karune looked solemnly at the trainers around her, then bowed deeply in supplication.

Before departing, Xerneas scattered parts of his life throughout the city of Miare.

In other words... this invasion by Team Flare only caused damage to the city; the only thing that truly disappeared was Fladali.

Even a certain flashy big-mouthed bird that flies around all day can be resurrected! Xerneas, who is even more skilled at resurrection, can resurrect with ease.

Of course, some of the energy residue from the ultimate weapon is necessary to achieve this.

Otherwise, even Xerneas would have found it difficult to do so after losing a significant amount of stamina.

"Leave it to me! Now is the time! The power of science will shape the future! Start the Citron Engine!...I have a newly invented detection device here. With this, there will be no problem at all!"

Citron took a high-tech disc out of his backpack.

He used his self-invented Aipom arm to hand the discs to the various trainers.

After receiving the swollen fruit, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"The power of science is amazing!"

The disc can automatically detect surrounding breathing points and display them on a small screen.

It's small and easy to carry, which is pretty good.

Well... I already have a waveguide, why would I need this thing?!

The trainers all received this equipment and went their separate ways. Ash, of course, didn't need it and used Aura the whole time to search for the trainers who had failed to escape in Lumiose City.

Because the giant plant unleashed by the ultimate weapon is tightly wrapped around the building, it's very difficult to get out without a Pokémon.

Fortunately, the giant plant has already disappeared! It will no longer pose a threat to people and Pokémon.

Ash walked to a coffee shop, only to find that the shop was entangled by huge plants.

Is there a girl in there?

Then let's come to the rescue!

Xiao Zhi clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu leaped into the air, its tail lashing out like a chainsaw, severing the plants that were entangled around the shop.

Under Pikachu's power, those plants turned into fragile grass stems that were easily cut down.

boom!

As the plants broke, the coffee shop's door was also smashed open, the wooden door bursting open to reveal the interior.

"Ouch?! That hurts..."

501 A New Wife Arrives? Serena's Encounter with Ash

The girl in the coffee shop was startled by the sudden destruction. She instinctively took a step back, but lost her balance and fell to the ground, wincing in pain.

"Are you alright?... Um, what's your name?"

At that moment, Ash quickly came to the girl and gently extended his hand.

"Hmm? Is it a rescue operation? But I feel like I've seen this somewhere before."

The brown-haired girl's deep blue eyes were unconsciously drawn to Ash's lips.

There was an inexplicable urge to personally feel that softness and warmth with my lips.

What does it feel like?

No, I haven't even kissed anyone yet, why would I think about such things?

The girl's cheeks suddenly flushed red; she was shy and didn't know what to say until her heart started racing.

"Ah, no, thank you so much for helping me. I am Serena, a performer."

Until... he told Ash his information.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Ash's face froze.

Who...who is this Serena?! Does she even recognize me?!

How should I respond?! What if the other person knows me?

Frico, help me!

[Sorry, Miss Frico is too tired~~ After making 10 Z-Bracelets, I don't have the energy~~]

Useless fellow!

"what happened?"

Serena immediately noticed that Ash was acting strangely and looked at him with concern.

At the same time, her hand unconsciously moved closer to Ash's right hand. The touch made Serena's heart beat faster, her blush deepened, and joy surged in her heart like a tide.

What does it feel like? !

"Mmm..." Such warm hands. Just being touched made Serena's heart flutter. She was about to fall for them.

Serena: Could it be that something is wrong with me?!

A mix of incomprehensible emotions swirled within Serena, who took several deep breaths to try and maintain her composure.

"I'm Ash, nice to meet you, Serena."

Ash gently pulled Serena up, his movements both tender and firm.

"Huh? Ash? Ugh... Ah?!"

However, at that moment, Serena suddenly widened her eyes, her expression filled with surprise.

Instinctively, she stumbled and lost her balance again.

This time, she leaned forward and involuntarily fell into Xiaozhi's arms.

"Are you okay?"

Ash caught Serena steadily, and their eyes met at that moment.

"Um...um, I'm fine."

A complex light flickered in Serena's eyes, while Ash maintained a gentle gaze, his arm lightly wrapped around Serena's waist to ensure she stood firm.

The unexpected hug made the air around them seem a little awkward, but Xiao Zhi didn't show any embarrassment on his face.

Even a certain blockhead like me is used to this kind of behavior!

This is hardly a problem at all!

But for Serena, the name still bothers her.

Serena and Ash met when they were children; that's when they first met.

Serena also witnessed the events in Rainbow Feather City, and at the time, she didn't know how to process her emotions.

It's incredibly heart-fluttering! The kind that makes you want to LOVELOVE!

As for how many childhood friends Ash has?

The answer is frequent travel, I don't know! So I often run into my childhood sweetheart.

Serena's gaze lingered on Ash, captivated by his handsome face and sunny smile.

Compared to before, Ash seems to have become taller and more mature.

A small surge of excitement welled up in Serena's heart, and her eyes revealed a sense of novelty and appreciation.

Ash's handsomeness and sunny disposition captivated Serena.

The boy in front of her was no longer the naive boy she remembered, but a more confident and charismatic trainer.

Serena's heart raced, and she couldn't help but lower her eyes slightly, trying to hide the turmoil in her heart.

that is...

Could she actually know me?

Xiao Zhi's head started hurting again!

How can I hide the fact that I accidentally bumped into a wall while sleeping and lost part of my memory?

Indeed, he could recall Serena's words, but not many.

"Pikachu~ Pikachu~"

Pikachu has already hidden in the shadows, sensing the situation.

The next area is beyond its reach.

If the succubus were to use her full power, this girl would be completely won over!

Pikachu: Yay!

This unexpected contact and Serena's reaction made Ash feel a strange atmosphere.

He maintained his sunny smile and gently pushed Serena aside so that she could stand up straight.

Then, Xiaozhi asked with concern.

"Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Serena snapped out of her daze, gently shook her head, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

"N-no, thank you, Satoshi."

Her voice carried a hint of nervousness, but she tried her best to remain calm.

"It's good that you're alright. Let's go then. I'll take you to a safe place. There's a possibility that you'll be crushed by the giant plant here."

However, Ash didn't seem to mind and naturally took Serena's hand.

This series of actions left Serena's mind blank for a moment.

Why are you so skilled at this?!

And his hands are so warm, and Ash smells wonderful.

"Okay, I understand. Let's go together then."

Under Ash's attentive care, Serena's mind was in turmoil, her body trembled slightly, and she couldn't calm down.

It's incredibly captivating!

Earlier in the coffee shop, a bunch of people rushed to escape, but when Serena started to run away, the giant plant had already attacked. Serena was so frightened that she hurriedly closed the door.

She was trembling inside the house, too afraid to go out, until Ash personally rescued her.

This feeling of being rescued by a hero had a strong impact on Serena.

Xiao Zhi has really changed a lot.

And he's incredibly reliable; he truly lives up to my admiration for him.

Serena felt the warmth emanating from the boy and instinctively gripped his hand, following in Ash's footsteps.

Serena was somewhat lost in the moment, her hands intertwined.

First of all... she's not some kind of pervert.

She's at least not some perverted high school girl who knows how to use a servant's knife.
