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

"Huh? Yushina?" Ash was pinned to the ground by Yushina's body.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome."

Yushina's heart started beating faster, and she could hear her own heartbeat echoing in her ears.

Their cheeks drew closer, their breaths mingling.

that is...

"Ash, Minato, what are you doing?!"

693 Arriving in Dark Grey City, relics of a bygone era~~

The Pewter City Gym is the official gym of Pewter City. Its specialty is Rock-type Pokémon. The gym leader is Brock. Challengers who win the challenge will receive the Pewter Badge.

Ash and his friends, having arrived in Pewter City, are about to challenge their first gym.

"So what exactly happened yesterday?"

Lan was still upset about what happened yesterday.

You two were having an affair behind my back, weren't you?!

You're not allowed to participate in Pokémon parties?!

“What happened last night was a misunderstanding, Mitake-san. I never had that kind of thought.”

perhaps...

Because she had been asked the question so many times, Yuki started to give casual replies.

No matter what, the scene where she pinned down Xiaozhi in the same tent was too bad, and even Yuki couldn't explain it.

We're really not having a weird party!

It was simply an accidental fall!

Recalling what happened yesterday, Yukina's gaze couldn't help but drift towards Satoshi's lips; she had almost wanted to kiss him.

"Yukina, Ran, let's go challenge the gym! I can't wait!"

Ash turned his head happily and looked at the two of them.

Sprint! Sprint!

Pokémon battles!

As for the cute girl next to me?!

Ash: What's that?!

"Wait, Ash, did you forget to take Charmander to the Pokémon Center for a full check-up?"

Yushina quickly walked towards Ash, took his hand, looked up at Ash, and parted her lips slightly.

"The Pokémon Center in Pewter City is in this direction."

Seeing Yushina's actions, Ran frowned slightly, then took Ash's other hand.

Seeing Ran's actions, Yuki frowned, gripped Satoshi's hand tightly, and even moved closer to interlocking their fingers.

Yukina and Ran: We can't lose! We absolutely cannot lose to Mitake (Minato)!

I must be closer to Ash than her!

Unaware of what was happening, the two girls' eyes met, conveying a sense of defiance.

"That's right. Pikachu, take this opportunity to let Nurse Joy take a look at you too."

"Pikachu pikachu~~"

Ash seemed unaware of the situation as he led the girls by the hand towards the Pokémon Center.

Fortunately, there were only two. If there were more, Ash might have become an unsealed Hoopa Ash, holding hands with girls with multiple arms.

"Ash from Pallet Town, right? Charmander is fine. I can tell it's been well taken care of. You took good care of it last night."

Nurse Joy's expression became somewhat unnatural. As she handed the Poké Ball to Charmander, she noticed Yushina and Ran beside Ash. The atmosphere was basically tense.

Ash, sandwiched in the middle, was so dazzling that his whole body seemed to be surrounded by sunlight.

The heroes of Kanto are terrifying!

He managed to remain unfazed even after being targeted by two girls with low spirits!

"Thank you, come out now, little dragon."

"Roar~~"

Ash took the Poké Ball and immediately summoned Charmander.

As soon as it came out of the Poké Ball, Charmander opened its arms and hugged Ash, snuggling close to him.

Last night, Ash took care of Charmander wholeheartedly until dawn.

Charmander felt Ash's love and grew increasingly dependent on and fond of him. Ash was the ideal trainer in its heart.

"Is Ash going to use Charmander in the battle?"

Lan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Let Charmander rest and train for a while. I'll send it to battle when we reach the second gym, Cerulean Gym."

Ash did not immediately choose a strategy that countered type, since battling against a type would be a huge challenge before his training was fully complete.

Such a battle could cause Charmander to feel insecure and affect its confidence.

Therefore, considering Charmander's mental health and growth, Ash hopes that it will be fully prepared before facing the challenge of battle.

"Alright, finally I can challenge the Pewter City Gym, hmm?"

Just as Ash was trying to get back into form and challenge the gym, a voice coming from behind caught the attention of Ash and his friends.

"Ash!!! Long time no see~~" Takamatsu quickly ran up behind Ash.

She stretched out her arms and hugged Xiaozhi tightly from behind. Her breasts were soft and elastic, and they were in close contact with Xiaozhi's body. Her cheeks were close to Xiaozhi's back, and she could feel his slight trembling.

"Huh?!!" ×2

Where did this woman come from?! ×2

"Long time no see, lamp."

Xiao Zhi turned around and gently stroked the girl's head.

"Ugh... I haven't smelled Ash's scent in so long... I love it~"

A blush crept onto Deng's cheeks, and she unconsciously hugged her boyfriend tighter again.

This was a huge shock to Yushina and Ran!

A feeling of jealousy inexplicably welled up inside me.

Ash is my best friend on my journey, so why does he have a girlfriend?!

My dear friend! You mustn't forget your friend for the sake of a pretty face!

This thought unconsciously arose in both of their minds.

Is this legal?!

The two women knew that the other was a member of Ash's team, but they just couldn't get over it.

They both considered Xiaozhi a friend (probably)... but it turns out he has a girlfriend, which is really hard to accept!

Relics of a bygone era! Don't be so arrogant!

Your era is over!

"Let's keep our distance for a bit, Takamatsu. Being too conspicuous here will cause a commotion."

Yuki crossed her arms and stared intently at the two of them, her gaze almost piercing.

To be honest, she was anxious!

I don't know why, but it just made me very unhappy!

"It would be troublesome if it caused a disturbance. Can we separate quickly?"

At this point, Lan's aggressiveness also increased significantly.

She clearly likes Ash, so... she's incredibly jealous!

"Okay...okay."

The close interaction didn't last long, and Lantern realized that being too conspicuous in this public place might cause inconvenience for Ash.

Therefore, she got straight to the point and took a Pokémon egg out of her backpack.

This egg was given to her by Korrina, who had to leave early to return to the Kalos region due to urgent business. It's said to be related to the Fighting-type Elite Four member, but Lantern doesn't know much about it.

"This egg was entrusted to you by Miss Korrina. It hasn't hatched for a long time, so she thought that Ash, who has the power of Aura, might be able to do something."

The lamp handed the egg to Ash and explained the reason behind it.

They haven't hatched for a long time...

Ash was able to sense the vibrations from the egg in Lantern's hand.

The two waveguides were drawn together as if in resonance, causing Ash's hand to involuntarily touch the egg.

"Is it Riolu's egg?"

The moment Ash took Riolu's egg, he felt a jolt of electricity. He could clearly sense the aura energy contained within the egg.

Suddenly, the eggshell trembled slightly, and a beam of brilliant blue light burst forth from inside the egg.

“I can hear it… calling to me.”

694 Gym Battle in Pewter City

Ash and Riolu seem to be drawn to each other, but unfortunately, the egg hasn't awakened yet and will need some time to truly hatch.

So, taking advantage of this time, Ash and his friends went to the Pine Gym.

The dojo's battle arena is known for its unique rock formations.

The rocks of varying sizes are arranged in a staggered pattern, creating an exceptionally intense atmosphere for battle on this rock-built battlefield. What impressed Ash the most was that on the rock platform, Gym Leader Brock was standing there in a fierce battle.

"A Rock-type Gym?... Then I'll have to use Obscurus."

As Lan observed the battlefield, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Will it win?

Having never challenged a top-tier dojo before, she had no clear understanding of her own strength.

However, gym leaders adjust their strength based on the challenger's ability. Therefore, a first-tier gym leader may sometimes perform weaker than a second-tier gym leader when faced with an opponent's badge.

"If you lack confidence, you can observe the game and prepare for a few more days. Xiao Zhi and I are waiting for you."

Yuki kindly reminded him, but Lan's expression changed upon hearing this. She angrily grabbed Satoshi's hand and forcefully led him to the battlefield.

"Huh? It's not that I lack confidence! Ash, let's go!"

"Well, I know."

Touching Xiaozhi's hand helped her recover somewhat.

The women around me are all so cold-blooded!

My boyfriend is still the best!

Ran: I really want to take Ash home! ...Wait, wait, what am I thinking?!

Lan shook her head, her face flushed, trying to banish the thought from her mind.

As expected of Ash, he attracted two beautiful girls in such a short time...

Ugh... I hate it!

"Woo..."

Seeing Ash surrounded by two girls did indeed stir up a bit of jealousy in her heart.

However, taking into account Xiaozhi's feelings, she ultimately chose to forcibly suppress her jealousy.
