He knows Pokémon better than me.

That night, Xiao Zhi lit a fire.

We laid out our sleeping bags on the beach and slept there amidst the sea breeze and waves.

By placing Infernape, Torterra, and Empoleon—the three starter Pokémon—outside, their powerful presence eliminates any worry about wild Pokémon ambushing him.

As for Emperor Nabo
Already honest!

After being electrocuted by Pikachu for a while, Empoleon's arrogance diminished considerably.

It turns out that the three little ones that fought it in the evening were the weakest in the team right now!

"Sleep well, Pikachu. Uh, Bear Doll, are you coming too?"

Ash had just half-lay down and opened a corner of his sleeping bag when Pikachu immediately crawled inside and found a comfortable spot to lie down.

"lucky?"

The teddy bear paused for half a second, then slowly climbed inside, placing its luggage next to the sleeping bag.

Maya wanted to squeeze in, but the sleeping bag had limited space and couldn't fit the large iron block.

"Chirp chirp!"

It could only walk to the side in dissatisfaction, shrinking its body into the shape of an old Poké Ball to wait in place—

Ash hasn't even painted his dog since it arrived in the Greenland region.

If Porkenion saw this, he'd probably be yelling at him already.

"Ha, I'm sleepy too."

After a day of intense travel, training, and battles, Ash quickly fell asleep after lying down.

So a large group of Pokémon slept on the beach without any obstruction. The three boss bullies surrounded them, and no one dared to approach.

Even in the dead of night, the fiery beasts that quietly descend from Tianguan Mountain, in twos and threes, patrol around like goblins.

They were preparing to drag a few young men and women back to the cave to do their business.

Upon seeing Ash, his eyes naturally lit up!
Seeing that even the sleeping Emperor Napo still held its head high at the edge, exuding a majestic imperial aura, they immediately abandoned their plan to drag Ash back to the cave.

I couldn't find a suitable person after half a day.
Well, even though that purple-haired guy is a bit old, he should still be usable!
The two Emerald Firestorm Beasts headed back to their lair, ready to feast on the humans they had found earlier in that open-air cave, amidst a pile of unconscious, mischievous lightning bolts and thunderbolts.

until late at night.

The dark clouds quietly dispersed, revealing a bright, full moon, whose light spilled onto the beach.

High in the sky, a pinkish-yellow Pokémon, as graceful as a shuttle, was leisurely flying over the Azure Continent. When it passed the Azure Coast, it even looked down curiously for a while.

"Clay~?"

It's quite rare to see such a group of Pokémon of different types sleeping together so harmoniously.

And then there's the human at the center.
Cresselia paused in its flight, sensing a familiar, shared aura emanating from Ash.

Is there another Cresselia in this world?
Thinking of this, the ancient Dream God emanated a bluish-green light, which scattered and drifted away like fireflies towards Ash's direction.

As a dream god, its duty is to grant peaceful Pokémon a relaxing dream; this is its function.

"Marsha?"

From the shadows of the sleeping bag, Marcia quietly peeked out; as a creature of the underworld, it did not sleep at night.

Marshadow glanced at Ash, who was fast asleep, and then at Cresselia, who was sprinkling powder in the air. He hesitated whether to rush up and give Cresselia a Shadow Punch.

During the day, Tengcui and the others are the ones who exercise, and its fists are itching to get used to it.

However, looking at Ash next to him, whose mouth was gradually widening as he came into contact with the Dream God powder, and who was still muttering incoherently:
"Martial Arts Bear Master, wearing a bear costume~ You two aren't good enough, you'd better come at me together~~"

He wondered what strange dream she was having. Marshall sighed, choosing not to attack, and quietly watched Cresselia shake off the glowing powder for ten minutes before leaving.

Wow!

No sooner had Cresselia left than the corners of the sleeping bag began to move inexplicably again.

Marcia looked over curiously, thinking that the teddy bear inside was kicking its sleeping bag.

Upon closer inspection, the source of the shaking wasn't the sleeping bag, but rather...
What's Xiaozhi's luggage?
"Marsha?"

Marshall looked around and found that everyone was sleeping soundly, completely absorbed in Cresselia's beautiful dream, and showed no sign of waking up.

It had no choice but to grit its teeth and walk over, tentatively poking at the surface of the baggage—

This is the Ginkgo Merchant Guild's general-purpose travel bag that Ash obtained from Silverman. It is hand-sewn and made of solid materials, making it very suitable as a travel gear for one person.

At this moment, there seemed to be some kind of living being inside the baggage, shaking continuously.

“Masha.”

Marshadow carefully unzipped the top zipper, and a Pokémon egg immediately popped out.

The pale blue Pokémon egg, speckled with light gray, exudes an air of antiquity.

Tap! Tap!

As if it had come to life, the Pokémon egg rolled several times on the ground before finally landing in a spot fully illuminated by the moonlight. Only then did it settle down and stop shaking.

"Marsha?"

Marshadow walked over curiously. Pokémon eggs can only wiggle slightly at most, right?
How can I move my position?
It looked up at the full moon in the sky, as if the Pokémon egg was absorbing the essence of the moonlight.

Marshadow was relieved to see that the Pokémon egg did not roll into the sea, but only swayed slowly in the moonlight.

So he simply hugged his head, leaned against Corviknight's folded armored wings, and stared blankly at the Pokémon egg.

Early in the morning, Ash was still making Pokémon.

In his dream, his teddy bear and his bear apprentice both evolved. The former unleashed a single-strike Dark Nether Strike, while the latter unleashed a combo-style Water Flow Strike, both exceptionally powerful.

Even if the league champions' ace came, they would probably have a hard time dealing with it.

As a result, his two slaps completely shattered his moves.

He even turned around and pinned the two two-meter-tall, muscular bears beneath him.

"Hahaha~! As expected, I'm the best, hahaha~!"

Inside the sleeping bag, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Just then, he felt as if he had been pinched by a giant crab, and his pants were pulled down. He instinctively reached out to pull them up.

"Stop fooling around, giant crab."

While talking in his sleep, Xiao Zhi in reality also reached into his sleeping bag and pulled up his pants.

Just touching it felt like I had touched something smooth.

It's not Pikachu's bald head, nor the plush texture of the teddy bear, but rather... an egg?

"Huh? How come there's such a big egg down there?!"

Ash suddenly woke up and sat up abruptly in his sleeping bag, exclaiming in surprise.

He pulled back the covers and looked down, only to find the Pokémon egg from his bag inside his bed! (End of Chapter)
