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

"For example, right now, if I were to make outrageous comments in front of you about why you broke up with Miss Naki from the Yuen Yuen Gym; and say that your teacher—Mr. Adam, the head of the Sootopolis Gym—has several mistresses in Sootopolis City… how would you feel?!"

"How do you know all this?!" Mikoli's pupils practically dilated in shock!

Only a very few people knew about his relationship with his teacher Adam. How could Xiao Zhi know about it?!

Could it be... that Ryukia said it?

No, that girl may be naive, but she wouldn't be so tactless.

Ha... So-called moderation means that she can use the excuse of 'telling the truth' to judge other people's behavior at will... but she will never talk about her own family, and she will not allow anyone to comment on her family members.

"I know more than that," Ash shook his head in a low voice. "It's precisely because I know too much that I'm unwilling to cooperate with you Hoennians... but I can't stop you from persisting!"

"When you were in Golden City, you harassed Miss Lijia and Nazja every day, driving them to the point that they could only wait for me to step in... Otherwise, do you really think I wanted to see you?!"

"I might as well be frank... From now on, when communicating between the alliances, you should go directly to Mr. Watari. Please don't bother me anymore. If we can avoid meeting each other, let's not meet again."

"Xiao Zhi, don't say that..."

Mikkuri tried to struggle a bit more, but Ash was already extremely impatient!

"Mr. Michael, can you please focus on the game? Your niece is about to suffer a crushing defeat!!"

"Ah..." Mikuri suddenly realized what was happening. He turned to the big screen and saw that Rukia was indeed being thoroughly thrashed by Ami.

Ryukia's Mega Altaria follows a physical attack strategy that combines dragon dance with performance, making it difficult for it to break through Steelix's defense.

In addition, Ami kept the electromagnetic levitation device hidden until the finals, which caught Ryukiya completely off guard!

When Steelix soared into the sky like a coiled dragon, binding Mega Altaria in mid-air before plunging into the ground, Rukia had no time to react.

After that came the continuous, doubling earthquakes in the underground version. Even with its cotton defense, the Super Altaria couldn't withstand the constant tremors.

"Battle over! Tanabata Bluebird Battle Off! The winner of the Azure Ribbon is Miss Ami, who is participating in the Grand Contest for the first time!"

Upon hearing the sound coming from the screen, Mikoli's mouth immediately widened into an "O" shape.

He glanced at Ash and noticed a satisfied look on the other's face, and suddenly understood something.

"Uh... that electromagnetic levitation technique, did you teach it to me?"

"Yes," Xiao Zhi replied casually.

"What an impressive battle tactic! Flying, burrowing, and the giant Steelix..." Mikuri exclaimed, unable to resist letting her thoughts wander again...

"That Miss Ami is quite a beauty. You're teaching her so diligently; you wouldn't happen to be trying to seduce her..."

Crunch!

Xiao Zhi's knuckles were cracking, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging!

"Mikeli, you've really angered me!"

Honestly, ever since this little scandal broke, Xiao Zhi really felt he had done enough and hadn't said much.

But why is this Mikeley like a fly?!

"Fine, you insist on arguing, then let's get to the bottom of this today!" Ash crossed his arms and leaned against his Milotic.

"Mikeli, tell me... is it illegal for me to date several girlfriends at the same time, or to pursue other people in the meantime?"

“This…” Mikoli’s face was stiff, and he remained silent.

"If you won't say it, I will. Of course it's not illegal. Even if I marry them all, it's not illegal. Because this world not only supports adulthood at ten and polygamy... it even supports polyandry!"

The Pokémon world is a world with a high degree of gender equality.

The reason it developed this way is, of course, due to the emergence of trainers.

Thanks to Pokémon, many jobs have become gender-neutral, and this has been accompanied by the rise of powerful women, ultimately leading to overall equality.

Interestingly, the more equal the relationship, the harder it is to guarantee a purely one-on-one emotional connection.

Because the essence of the world is that the strong are respected, and the strong will be tolerant of those below them.

Most ordinary people are monogamous, because their partners are often of similar social standing and strength, leaving them with little room to accommodate more.

Xiao Zhi does not deny the beautiful sentiment of a lifelong, monogamous relationship, because it truly exists.

However, the emotional situations of some powerful trainers, important figures in large families, and even kings of duchies are not so simple.

In a country ruled by a queen, perhaps one could find some male lovers…

In short, this is the other side of the world, and something most people tacitly agree on.

Otherwise, how come Xiao Mao was able to find six girlfriends at the beginning of the game without getting his legs broken?

“Come on, let me continue.” Ash continued to glare at Wallace. “There are many clans in your Hoenn… Don’t deny it, you yourself are a Citizen of the Sootopolis, a member of a large clan. Clan leaders and elders like yours all have more than one wife… Instead of gossiping about me here, why don’t you criticize them?”

Michael didn't have time to answer right now; he was pondering why Ash knew so much about Hoenn... even about his own family!

"Because I've put things out in the open, and I'm not afraid of people bringing it up!" Xiao Zhi continued coldly, "Unlike some people who appear to be upright gentlemen on the surface, but secretly want to build a harem."

“But at least…you could tone it down a bit,” Mikkel said reluctantly.

He knew that Xiaozhi was referring to Adam's private affairs, but he still wanted to offer some explanation.

"What's this talk of restraint? Isn't that just putting on a show of virtue?" Xiao Zhi spat out disdainfully. "That used to be my forte—the wise, the brave, the benevolent... But beyond that, I just want to do whatever I want, as long as I don't hurt others as much as possible!"

"I won't deceive myself, and I certainly won't deceive the person I like. I like what I like, and I'm a jerk if I'm a jerk, I never hide it. You think someone like me is not reserved enough, that I'm a promiscuous scumbag, then what is a good person... your master?"

Michael didn't speak, but his expression said he thought so.

"Yes, Mr. Adam is indeed very good. He is handsome, strong and refined, and most importantly, he is old... A gentleman like him has a much simpler way of building a harem than I do."

"He doesn't need to do anything special. He just needs to stand there and show off, giving all the women who take the bait care and affection, speaking sweet words in a gentle voice, maintaining a distant relationship, and then just wait."

"Over time, those women will get anxious and unable to suppress their feelings. They will confess their love with trepidation... Then he will pretend to reject her, ensuring that he can maintain his image as a pure and devoted good man."

"Once the harem is truly established, he'll have to struggle again... I really don't want to betray my first wife; it was just that feelings came uncontrollably, and there was nothing I could do—they were all the ones who pursued me; they were just too enthusiastic, and I couldn't resist..."

"Mikeli, you're telling me this is a good person? This is just taking advantage and then acting innocent; it's a genuine disrespect and abuse of women!"

Honestly, Ash is very familiar with Adam's tricks.

The owner of the Crystal Dojo, known as a stunningly beautiful man, has always been favored by women of all ages in Crystal City, which is his natural advantage.

His harem-building tactics are exactly the same as those of all male protagonists in harem novels!

As long as he stays put and remains passive, he won't make a mistake.

"Xiao Zhi, please stop slandering my master... Ugh!"

This rebuke directed at Adam would naturally enrage Michael, but he had barely uttered his threat when he found himself unable to move a single finger.

Only then did he truly realize how terrifying Ash was as a psychic!

When he's with Pokémon, Ash is a promising new trainer with unlimited potential; but if you remove the Pokémon factor, he is the strongest human in the world!

Now that the situation is against him, even if he gets scolded, Mikoli has to listen... because he brought this scolding on himself!

"You think I'm a scumbag and a bastard, right? Then what is your master? Your so-called good person, your so-called devoted love, is just making women take a hundred steps forward while you wait for them to confess their feelings. The rest of the time, he's just like a central air conditioner, basking in warmth for everyone!"

"Compared to such a good person, at least I am open and honest with all the women I like. I will clearly tell them my feelings... And our private matters are decided by ourselves, and it is no one else's place to interfere!"

“You just mentioned Ami. Let me tell you, I have no interest in her. I helped her purely for Miss Rika’s sake. As for why I like… even respect Miss Rika so much, I can explain it to you.”

"I once saved Miss Lijia from a fire and was fortunate enough to help her resolve her inner conflicts. Later, I also happened to save her father... Miss Lijia developed feelings for me because of this. At that time, she already knew that Xiao Lan was by my side!"

“But she took the initiative and gave me a bottle of perfume… I had talked to Lucia about the boundaries of interpersonal relationships, and that bottle of perfume clearly crossed the line between male and female relationships, which made me understand her feelings.”

"My choice to accept is my way of responding; it shows I'm willing to continue developing this relationship with her. After that, I'll shift from a passive to an active role, because I also have feelings for her, and Miss Lijia is indeed an outstanding woman worth pursuing!"

“I don’t want Miss Lijia’s feelings to be tarnished, nor do I want her to be anxious and insecure every day! Throughout the entire process of our relationship, all my feelings and actions have been transparent, and everyone around me knows about them… They all think there’s no problem, only you can’t accept it, why?”

"It's not because you're so noble, but because I've touched a nerve and torn away the fig leaf of your so-called good people! Your master's facade of virtue can no longer stand, to the point that he may not be able to continue waiting for all the girls to throw themselves at him like before!"

"And how ridiculous is this? On one hand, you say that every woman is unique, but in the end, what you're advocating is for women to be eager to throw themselves at you!!"

After venting his frustrations, Xiao Zhi composed himself, and his tone became even more subdued.

"Mikeli, put yourself in her shoes... If this happened to Rukia, as her parent, would you rather she meet someone like your master, who dresses himself up like a daffodil and uses all sorts of care and affection to woo her, making her nervously confess her feelings even though she knows he might have several or even a dozen women?"

"Or should I do it like I did, treating her well in the same way, but once we've established a basic level of goodwill, I'll take the initiative to bring it up, at least giving her a choice and a buffer to discuss it with you?!"

“I…” Mikoli fell into deep thought.

In comparison, it does seem...

"Damn it! If I were you, I wouldn't choose either of them!" Xiao Zhi suddenly cursed angrily. "Are you brain-dead? You actually picked one? A lazy, opportunistic womanizer who just waits for women to throw themselves at him, and a womanizing playboy who's always trying to have multiple women on his side..."

"They're all scum, who's any more noble than whom?!"

Mikoli was a little dazed; he was completely bewildered.

Even after Ash loosened his restrictions, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Mickey, I've finished my rant. You can hit me back if you want, I'm all free~" Ash said nonchalantly.

champion?

Only the formula-based strategy is impressive~

However, Wallace ultimately didn't make a move. He gave Ash a deep look, then turned to leave...

"Wait a minute, I have important business to discuss!" Ash suddenly called out to him. "Go back and tell the people in Larus that I'm not going to let Gilluta go! They colluded with Team Rocket, and they got what they deserved!"

"Moreover, the cosmic virus and city defense robots they possess are now in Giovanni's hands... If this causes further trouble in Kanto and Johto, I will absolutely not let those bastards off the hook!!"
