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

The fighting dojo was currently in the midst of training, and the slogans inside were being shouted so loudly that the atmosphere was even more astonishing than that of Nobuhiko's dojo in Kōjin City!

When Ash and his friends pushed open the door, they discovered that the person leading the group of disciples in their training was none other than Bea in a tight-fitting outfit!

"Stop, everyone disperse." The fighting girl also noticed that someone had come to the door. When she saw that it was Ash and his group, a barely perceptible smile immediately appeared on her lips.

"You've finally arrived." After dismissing all the apprentices, she quickly approached Ash, her demeanor softening.

"Long time no see, Bea," Ash greeted with a smile. "How did your island tour go?"

"I've passed everything!" Bea stood up energetically, her stance perfectly aligned so Ash could see her bracelet. "I'll be waiting for you at the Azure Gym after I finish the trials..."

Gollum~

As they were talking, Cai Dou's stomach suddenly started making a sound, which made the girl blush slightly.

"You haven't had breakfast yet?" Xiao Zhi asked with concern.

“I’ve already eaten…” Cai Dou said, her eyes sparkling, “but after that I did some light exercise, jogging ten kilometers, and then I led the disciples in training, so…”

These hesitant words left the people behind Xiaozhi speechless.

Especially since Ryukia is unaware of the previous events, the way she looks at Aya now is simply inhuman!

You casually run 10 kilometers, and you call that 'slight' exercise?

"Oh, I see... This is perfect for you~" Ash smiled and took out a chocolate bar from his pocket, carefully tore off the wrapper and handed it to Bea.

"Thank you~" Cai Dou's eyes lit up immediately.

To be honest, she hasn't had a chance to eat this stuff these past few days in order to maintain her dignity in front of Ah Si and the apprentices!

She was practically going crazy with hunger, and she was starving... Perhaps in a moment of distraction, Bea actually opened her mouth to take the chocolate Ash offered, and happily put most of it in her mouth~

"Uh, what are you guys doing?"

Ah Si, who inadvertently witnessed this scene, felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Chapter 500 VS Ah Si, Duolongqi Makes His Appearance

Good heavens! The young lady is eating a chocolate bar, and Ash is feeding her... I must be blind.

Oh my god! Senior Brother Si actually saw me eating a chocolate bar, and Xiao Zhi even fed it to me... I wish he were blind!

At this moment, Ah Si and Cai Dou were thinking different things, and the air seemed to freeze.

Ayame quickly realized what was happening, immediately biting off a piece of the chocolate bar, chewing it a few times before forcing it down, and then wiping her mouth as if nothing had happened…

But it's all useless; it's just wishful thinking, and Ah Si can't possibly be really blind.

"Young Miss, were you eating chocolate just now?"

This is definitely big news!

The usually stern and unsmiling young lady, who is ruthless to others and even more ruthless to herself, actually eats sweets...

And it was Ash who fed it himself! What exactly is their relationship?!

Ah Si was pondering whether he should discuss with his master... about his junior sister's important life event.

"I didn't eat it! I..." Cai Dou stammered, knowing that any explanation would be futile now.

"I mean... is this really funny?" Just when the atmosphere was getting incredibly awkward, Ash suddenly spoke up, "One of you was so craving cake that you went to the beach to sneak a bite, and the other was so craving chocolate that you were delirious... Liking sweets isn't a crime, can't you just admit it?"

"I actually love sweets the most, especially all kinds of chocolate~" Upon hearing Ash say this, Bea immediately admitted it, and even showed a silly smile unique to girls.

Ah Si was taken aback again. Apart from his parents, he had never seen Cai Dou listen to anyone so much...

I've never seen her laugh like that before!

Even a young lady like her couldn't escape... Ah Si subconsciously glanced at Xiao Zhi, thinking to himself that Kanto's reputation for being a pervert was truly well-deserved.

"I'm the same way, but I used to be forbidden to eat because my master kept me in line." Coming out of his reverie, Ah Si said with a simple smile, patting his stomach as he did so.

"But Miss, you have to be careful. If you don't know how to control yourself, you might end up with a belly like me."

"Don't worry about that. When I consume too much sugar, I always do rigorous training!" Cai Dou said seriously. "I make sure all the fat is metabolized and doesn't accumulate in my body!"

Actually, you don't need all of them, and it's better to pile them up in the right place...

Xiao Zhi could only think these words in his heart; he couldn't say them aloud.

"Ash, come with me, we're about to have a gym battle!" Ash led Ash into the gym. "The young lady is here too, she can be the referee."

“No problem.” Cai Dou nodded in agreement.

"Great!" Ash smiled with satisfaction. "I'm going to see Mr. Ash's strength for myself, and I'm determined to get the fourth badge!"

"Is that so... I understand." After a moment's thought, Ah Si understood Xiao Zhi's unspoken meaning.

The group headed towards the venue, but the smaller group of friends and family lagging behind were still quietly discussing the earlier incident.

"That Bea, who's she?" Rukia asked in a low voice. "Why does it feel like her relationship with Ash is... rather unusual?"

She considered it for a moment, but decided not to be too direct.

"Just say the relationship is ambiguous," Xiaoxia said, waving her hand dismissively.

Their relationship is unusual... Do you even need to tell me?

That woman can get wet and change clothes in front of Xiaozhi at will, and these two even put on a feeding act. Do you still expect them to have a pure male-female relationship?

"Ah... But, aren't you Ash's girlfriend?" Ryukia was immediately stunned.

Honestly, she got to eat her fill of PDA on Whirlpool Islands.

Even with the antics of the Ash-Xia pairing and the rumors about Ash, Rukia has always been a big fan of Ash and Xayah as a couple.

"Of course I am, but I'm only the third girlfriend," Xiaoxia said nonchalantly. "That Caidou isn't yet, but even if she is in the future, she won't be ranked fourth."

"This..." Ryukia was completely at a loss for words. Everything she had heard today was somewhat challenging her established values.

But Xiaoxia didn't intend to explain any further to her.

"If I were you, I wouldn't have asked in the first place, since it has nothing to do with you anyway."

Indeed, since getting what she wanted, Xiaoxia has become much more open-minded about these things.

Misty's principle regarding Ash's daily "flirting" behavior is... If Blue doesn't care, why should I?

Besides, Ash isn't the kind of fickle person who gets bored easily. He and Bea were just catching up normally, and the feeding scene was a misunderstanding. There's no need to make a big deal out of it.

Of course, for someone like Ryukia, Kasumi definitely wouldn't mind pushing her away.

But whether it can actually be launched... isn't really important~

...

"The battle will now begin: Azure Gym Leader Asi versus Challenger Ash. Each Gym Leader may use two Pokémon, and the Gym Leader will attack first and cannot switch!"

Inside the arena, Aya was seriously acting as the referee.

"Ash, I'm going to use these two, Koboro and Machamp!" Ash revealed his Pokémon from the very beginning.

This was his feedback to Ash. Ash had mentioned wanting to get four badges, so Ash knew that neither side would go all out in this battle.

That's the job of a gym leader; they assess whether a challenger has the ability to earn the next badge, not to test the challenger's full strength.

Even if it's a Champion-level challenger, as long as he has three badges and he's there to fight a gym battle, Asahi won't go all out.

To be honest, this is what a qualified museum owner should be like.

Ah Si is a fighter with an undeniable competitive spirit, but he manages to suppress it in order to fulfill his responsibilities as the gym leader.

This is something Ash can't do, and it's also something he's always admired about these gym leaders.

Because... he will never lose a single match, no matter what!

"Go fight, Kobolang!" Ah Si was the first to send out a balanced fighter who was as nimble as a spinning top.

"As for me... Dragapult, let's make our official debut!" Ash sent out a Galar pseudo-legendary!

“Dorunchi… well, it’s reasonable that you can bring it out.” Ah Si was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came to terms with it.

Given Ash's relationship with Bea, he must have been to Galar, so it's perfectly normal for him to be able to capture a pseudo-legendary creature there.

"The battle begins!"

"Dragon Dance!" With Bea's command, Ash immediately had Dragon boost its power on the spot.

"Cobra, high speed!" Ah Si seemed to know a lot about Doronki. He knew that Cobra was at a disadvantage in speed, so he activated Burst Enhancement at the start!

Kopolon was spinning upside down, like a top that was getting faster and faster, rapidly approaching Doronchi!

"Don't get entangled with it, fly up and keep using Dragon Dance!" Ash seemed determined to use guerrilla tactics, not attacking from the start, but focusing solely on accumulating power-ups!

"You can't win a fight by just running away!" Ah Si suddenly shouted sharply, "Copperton, Bullet Fist!"

call out!

Suddenly, Coplin charged forward at an incredible speed. Caught off guard, Doronchi was grazed, but fortunately, he was unharmed.

But Ah Si wasn't going to end the attack there: "Next up, the Triple Spin!"

"Not good! Use Dragon Dance to get around it right now!" Ash knew what was going on. After Dragapult was kicked, he immediately activated its Power Up Escape and barely dodged the two increasingly powerful kicks that followed!

Triple Spin is a move that, like Triple Kick, increases in power with each hit. As an Ice-type move, it is very effective against Dragon-type Dragapult!
