Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

"Sister Yuezi, what Pokémon are you planning to use in the Pokémon Contest?"

"Oh, these are the two of them."

Yuezi opened her two Poké Balls and released a Flareon and a Cthulhu.

Judging from the color of their fur, Ash knew that these two Pokémon had been well cared for after giving birth.

Wow, there are two!

Upon seeing a Pokémon he had never seen before, Max immediately rushed forward excitedly to pet it.

Flareon and Cthulhu, being Pokémon born after childbirth, are both gentle and dignified, just like their trainers, allowing Shoichi to pet them.

The way the new mother looked at her companions during her postpartum period was full of affection.

"Because the rules of the Longevity Tournament are the same as those of the Grand Festival, the first and second rounds of judging must be done with different Pokémon, so I decided to send them out."

"Oh, so there's such a rule." Xiaoyao only realized it then.

During lunch, she was so focused on eating that she completely forgot about reviewing the rules before the competition.

Normally, there are no such strict rules for Pokémon Contests; everyone tends to focus on practicing the fancy moves of just one Pokémon before the contest.

And usually the same Pokémon is used in both reviews in order to maximize the effect of the effort.

But that's not possible now.

"We need two, sister. Have you decided who you want to send up?"

"Well, Sneaky put on a really good performance at the previous tournament, and Butterfree is also used to participating in the Grand Contest, but recently Torchic and the others have also been doing quite well..."

May now owns five Pokémon, so choosing contestants will give her some time to think about it.

"Forget it, sis. It's okay if you wait until the day of the competition to register your Pokémon. Just think it over carefully before making a decision."

"Anyway, you're not the kind of trainer who thinks things through very much."

What do you mean by that?!

Since that's the case, May took out each Pokémon to try them out, and also trained them together with Yuezi's Pokémon.

Although Yuezi possessed a ribbon medal, this was actually only her second time participating in the Grand Contest.

Therefore, she is far less experienced in competitions than Xiaoyao, and she even worries about what to do if she gets too nervous in front of so many spectators.

This made Xiaoyao put on quite a show of seniority.

The two trained very well, and Ash would occasionally offer some pointers.

However, most of the time Xiaoyao was the one giving guidance on postpartum care, and the other person's admiring attitude had made Xiaoyao addicted to being a teacher.

Xiao Zhi indulged her and let her pretend to her heart's content.

Time flew by and it was already afternoon, and the training finally came to a temporary end.

On their way back, Yuezi learned that Xiaozhi was planning to cook dinner himself, so she kindly led everyone to the market in Changshou Town, a place frequented only by locals.

"But I really didn't expect that Ash, you're not only so good at battling, but you can also cook!"

"And Ash's cooking is really delicious!" May added proudly.

As a big foodie, she really likes this one of Ash's strengths.

"Really? Boys who can cook are a real plus." Yuezi liked Xiaozhi even more.

"It seems that Xiao Zhi is not only hardworking and focused, but also very talented. You're amazing! You'll definitely be very popular with girls!"

"Not at all, you flatter me."

At times like this, Xiaozhi can no longer bring himself to say that he cooks simply to save money.

However, the market that Yuezi brought them to was really nice, with a lot of fresh vegetables around, which is rare in other towns.

With a simple scan, Xiao Zhi can discover many stalls offering affordable prices and high-quality products.

He immediately switched into chef mode, using his discerning and shrewd eye to start selecting ingredients.

"Hmm... Eggplant, out! Cucumber, out!"

Anything bigger than Ash's shiny Grubby is out! That's just how capricious he is when it comes to cooking.

Of course, Xiao Zhi doesn't always use such nonsensical reasons when choosing vegetables. He can accurately tell whether the vegetables are fresh enough just by looking at their roots and stems as he walks around.

At the same time, consider the duration of sunlight and air humidity, as well as, most importantly, the price, to decide on a purchase.

Yuezi, who was standing to the side, was full of admiration and quickly took out her notebook to write down Xiaozhi's words.

However, at that moment, Ash's eyes suddenly lit up as he passed a stall.

"This tomato is plump and juicy, great! Oh! And this radish is definitely worth buying!"

Just as Xiao Zhi was about to make a move, another slender little hand beat him to it and picked up the big radish that he had carefully selected.

A loud and clear voice suddenly rang out beside him.

"Boss, please pack this radish for me."

"Who dares to covet the same radish as me!"

The other party was definitely a master at picking vegetables. Xiao Zhi took a closer look and was surprised to find that it was a little girl with short purple hair.

When Ash noticed her, she also looked in Ash's direction.

At this moment, Yuezi exclaimed in surprise.

"Star Plus?"

"Mother."

"Mom?" Xiaozhi and the others exclaimed in surprise.

Unexpectedly, this grape-scented child turned out to be the daughter who had just given birth.

The arrival of her daughter was also a complete surprise to Yuezi.

"Xingjia, why are you here?"

"Because I noticed that you hadn't come home for a while, I guessed that you must be busy with PMDM activities."

"There's no other way, I can only go out and buy the ingredients for your dinner. That's what I, your good daughter, think."

The purple-haired little girl, Xingjia, spoke to her mother with an air of maturity beyond her years.

Even the vegetable shop owner praised Fan for being so sensible.

"Xingjia is such a capable child."

"Rather than saying that, it's more accurate to say that my mother is simply not capable enough."

"Haha~"

When her daughter made such a comment, Yuezi could only smile awkwardly.

However, she immediately remembered that she had to introduce Ash and his friends to her daughter first, and the little girl greeted Ash and his friends very politely.

After exchanging greetings, Yuezi couldn't wait to share the good things that had happened that day with her daughter.

"Xingjia, Mom wants to tell you that this older sister, Xiaoyao, will also be participating in the Grand Contest in Longevity Town."

"And most importantly, her and Xiaosheng's father is actually that Mr. Qianli!"

"Okay, okay... Congratulations!"

Little Xingjia was already used to her mother's excited expression.

She immediately put on a mature air and turned to Ash and the others.

"Everyone, has my mother done anything rude to you because she was too excited?"

"If so, please allow me to apologize to you on her behalf."

"I would never do such a thing!"

Yuezi immediately blushed and retorted, but Xingjia still had that sarcastic loli expression.

"God knows, every member of your PMDM team is so exaggerated."

"Uh……"

When facing her shrewd daughter, Yuezi would act like a silly mother, and she had almost no authority with Xingjia.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao quickly said, "There was nothing rude about it. Sister Yuezi and the others are all very kind people. They have been taking care of us all day."

“Yes, that’s right.” Ash nodded in agreement.

They're all such nice people who give him benefits; I love them.

However, Xiao Zhi deeply understood what the little girl said; the mothers' group could indeed be quite exaggerated when they got excited.

Suddenly, the little girl's gaze locked onto Ash and the Pikachu on his shoulder.

"Big brother, can I hug it?" Xingjia rarely showed the behavior of a normal little girl.

Ash naturally agreed, and Pikachu, unusually, did not resist being touched by a stranger and jumped into Xingjia's arms.

"Pikachu is so cute and powerful, just like you, big brother. The power hidden in your muscles is terrifying."

Xingjia said happily, touching Pikachu's little hand.

"It feels like he could smash several mountains with one punch."

"what?"

Ash was taken aback. This little girl could see through Pikachu and his true strength hidden beneath his disguise at a glance.

Moreover, Pikachu didn't show the slightest displeasure when she petted it; in fact, it seemed to like it a little.

Besides Ash, only Misty has ever been able to touch Pikachu without getting shocked.

Xiao Zhi immediately concluded that this little girl was no ordinary person.

Despite his young age, he displayed a shrewdness and intelligence that rivaled that of adults, along with an unusually keen intuition...

Chapter 462 Madam, you don't want to lose face in front of your daughter, do you?

"Pikachu is so cute! Actually, I plan to travel and become a Pokémon Trainer in the future."
