Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

Being together... isn't that just a confession of love?

"Sigh, I'm finding this really difficult..." Just as Xiaoxia was lost in thought, Xiaozhi started scratching his head in frustration, "How did that guy, Xiaomao, manage to get six girlfriends...? Did he really just rely on being shameless?"

(In this respect, I think you will surpass him...) Of course, this was just Xia's inner monologue; she had no intention of telling anyone.

She is actually doing some mental preparation right now.

So, by that logic, I should be ranked third?

It seems that's true. There are quite a few people who are in ambiguous relationships with this guy, but so far, the only ones who have really settled down are Serena and that other person!

that person…

Xia, who had been feeling uneasy, suddenly focused her gaze.

As if encouraged... Of course, it was actually her competitive spirit at work. In any case, as the daughter of Cerulean Dojo and the world's number one mermaid, Misty, she would never back down!

Most importantly, I actually... like Ash!

At this moment, Xiaoxia chose to confront her own heart.

At the same time, she also began to look forward to it... She would definitely respond without hesitation, as long as the other party was willing to admit it!

"Xiaoxia, you should know what I want to say, right?" Xiaozhi had already made up his mind by this time.

What are you thinking, Xiao Mao? At times like this, you really have to be reckless!

He's never been one to fuss over this!

He readily accepted the title of "Demon" from Kanto without a second thought.

"Xiaoxia..." Xiaozhi gripped the girl's hand tightly, as if afraid she would break free and run away.

The girl simply looked intently into his eyes, while tightening her fingers, subtly expressing herself in this way…

"I like you!" "Then let's be together!"

The equally matched confessions and responses, with almost zero waiting time, left Xiaozhi completely stunned.

"Xiaoxia, are you really willing to agree...?" Xiaozhi's voice trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe it.

To be honest, although Xiaozhi had always been certain that he and Xiaoxia could be together, establishing a relationship today was definitely outside of his plans.

It was all because the night was too quiet, the campfire was too mischievous, and the girl who had just cleaved through the waves was too dazzling, disrupting Ash's dopamine and endorphin secretion... so Ash couldn't help himself and couldn't wait until he was ready to act.

He was genuinely pleasantly surprised to hear Xiaoxia's immediate and unwavering response.

"How could this be fake?" Xiaoxia couldn't help but laugh. This was the first time she had ever seen Xiaozhi like this.

Even someone who always has everything under perfect control can be so helpless. It's probably because everything happened so suddenly today.

Perhaps it's because I have a bit of charm?

Thinking about it this way, Xiaoxia was actually quite happy.

Xiaoxia is happy with the current outcome. If she had just been waiting for Xiaozhi to have planned everything and then confess to her, she might have accepted him too.

But then she wouldn't be able to see Ash's somewhat adorable appearance now, so taking the initiative definitely has its advantages~

In the future, she will also try to interact with Satoshi in a different capacity...

In short, I will absolutely not be outdone by that person!!

Hmm... so Ash really did become the man of the harem king after all~

...

On a beach late at night, a young man and woman who had just started dating sat together by the sea, warming themselves by a campfire.

Nothing further happened for the time being. Xiaoxia simply rested her head on Xiaozhi's shoulder, peacefully enjoying the gentle warmth emanating from his body, which was even more so than that of a campfire.

This unexpected confession was a rare surprise for both of them, and neither of them wanted to spoil it, so they quietly enjoyed it together.

"Oh, right, this is for you." Suddenly, Xiaoxia remembered something and gave the bait she had used earlier to Xiaozhi. "Whether I'm here or not, you must carry this with you at all times... or I'll get angry!"

"Of course!" Xiao Zhi immediately patted his chest in agreement, carefully putting away the bait.

This contains the precious sentiments of a young girl, so of course Ash would treasure it and keep it carefully.

The campfire flickered, making the two figures seem even closer...

Chapter 303 The Fake Boss, The Fallen Flying Palace

A strangely shaped steel fortress is steadily approaching over the waters south of the Orange Islands and over the island of Asia!

Its size is extremely large, and it flies freely in the sky above the clouds. Even Pokémon like Finch, which used to run rampant, have to give way when they see it and dare not get close.

"It's best to leave voluntarily. Ordinary Pokémon like this are not worthy of approaching my Flying Palace."

Inside the control room of the flying fortress, a man in a magnificent robe sat in the pilot's seat, his face showing obvious disdain.

"Asia Island... The three sacred birds here should be worth collecting, right? God of Fire, God of Thunder, God of Ice. Please don't be like the three defective products from before, which only disappointed me."

"And..." The man, who was talking to himself, turned to a picture of a stone tablet on the computer screen and greedily scanned the ancient characters recorded on it.

The gods of fire, thunder, and ice are all sacred and inviolable.

Breaking taboos will cause the heavens and earth to tremble, and the world to embark on a path of destruction.

The sea god will appear to save the world from destruction, but still cannot prevent the world from descending into chaos.

Unless a capable ruler emerges to appease the wrath of the gods.

...

The man came because of the prophecy on the stone tablet. He had captured the three legendary birds and even witnessed the wonder of the three birds becoming one. However, those Pokémon were easily defeated by a few newcomers, which really disappointed him.

It was at that time that he saw the pure white artifact that would drive this collector crazy—the sea god, Lugia!

After extensive investigation, the man finally found the place.

On the island of Asia, there dwell the three sacred birds, which are named after gods and are extremely special. If you can capture them, you can cause a change in the world and thus bring out Lugia!

In this way, he can acquire the final piece of the collection!

As for the changes in the world... what does that have to do with him? He's just a collector.

"Fire Island... let's start with the Moltres." After glancing at the radar map, the Collector quickly selected his target.

But just then, the artificial intelligence of the flying palace sounded an alarm.

"Warning! A special life form has intruded into the Flying Palace!"

“Special life form…” The collector frowned. He got up to check, but found a strange creature resembling a kangaroo behind him.

"Who are you? Are you some kind of Pokémon?"

"I am Mewtwo, which can be considered a Pokémon."

The collector hadn't expected a response, but he actually heard one, and it was through telepathy!

“Mewtwo…you’re amazing. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a visitor come here without an invitation.” The Collector scrutinized Mewtwo, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes. “Let me introduce myself. I am the Collector Gilluta, the owner of this flying palace.”

"I heard what you just said. You plan to capture the three legendary birds of Asia Island?" Mewtwo asked in a deep voice.

“Subdue them? No, you’ve completely misunderstood.” Gilluta quickly shook his head. “I’m going to collect them and make them my exhibits.”

"Isn't this just forced capture?" Mewtwo's eyes widened. "How is your behavior any different from those bastards from Team Rocket?!"

“That’s incredibly rude of you. I’m from the upper class, how can I be compared to a bunch of country bumpkins?” Gilluta’s face showed obvious contempt. “I’ve worked with them before, and I thought they’d be eyeing some powerful legendary Pokémon, but it turned out to be a defective product that even a bunch of kids couldn’t defeat…”

"You actually associated with those bastards?!" Mewtwo was instantly filled with rage.

It was initially a little hesitant, but now it has no intention of holding back at all!

"What do you want to do..." Gilluta seemed to sense the danger and instinctively reached for the button beside her...

hum! !

But an invisible superpower swept through instantly, causing countless cracks to appear in the surrounding ground and walls, and then the entire flying palace collapsed in mid-air!

High in the air, without any protection, Gilruta suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

A powerful force also tightly bound his body, causing him to involuntarily float in front of Mewtwo.

"What...what kind of monster are you..." Gilluta asked in disbelief. At that moment, he seemed to see the Grim Reaper's scythe about to fall!

"I am Mewtwo, not the monster you speak of!" Mewtwo said coldly. "I won't kill you... The blood of someone like you will only dirty my hands!"

A ripple flashed through the space, and Mewtwo disappeared into the air with Gilluta.

The debris scattered across the sky was constantly stirred up by the air currents at high altitudes, eventually dispersing and falling like dust.

...

"Terrifying... that flying fortress actually disintegrated in an instant?"

Moments later, on the coast of Asia Island, a handsome man in a gray adventure suit recalled a small surveillance drone.

He used the drone footage to project it onto a portable computer he wore on his arm, thus witnessing firsthand the entire process of the Flying Palace's disintegration.

Amidst the wreckage, the man vaguely spotted a kangaroo-like creature…

"It should be some kind of legendary Pokémon, but it has nothing to do with me... Heh, that rich young master has finally reaped the consequences of his ostentatious behavior."

From a man's perspective, those in their line of work sometimes need to keep a low profile.
