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

(My dear disciple, forget your human troubles, charge forward like a monster, and conquer them with all your might!)

"I really have troubled you, teacher..." The voice transmission that suddenly sounded in his mind made Xiaozhi's face turn even more ashen.

Is this pushing me to become inhuman...?

Conquering them all is unrealistic, and Ash has already figured out why Sabrina was so angry.

"Sarazu, you're actually upset, aren't you?" Ash asked seriously. "Because I confessed to Rika, and you're unhappy about it?"

"Yes!" Naz answered without hesitation.

What else could it be besides this?

She certainly doesn't mind Ash and Rika getting together... but at least bring her along!

"It was my oversight. I should have come to find you as soon as I got back," Ash said apologetically, trying to reassure Sabrina. "But even if you were in a hurry, you couldn't have done it in front of all of them..."

Little Smart could tell that Natsume was really anxious.

Otherwise, she would have noticed that everyone in the room was trembling slightly and their breathing was becoming increasingly rapid... in short, they were all feeling quite uncomfortable.

"This..." Sabrina, who had initially intended to force herself on Ash out of spite, found herself losing face once Ash began to back down...

Of course, it was impossible for her to let this go; she had to deal with this person today!

"At least let me get them out of here," Ash pleaded. "Don't worry, I definitely won't run away... Besides, my psychic powers are still sealed."

"Okay...then hurry up." Naza's voice trembled as she urged, perhaps anticipating...

Xiao Zhi looked around at the group of girls in the room, and after a moment's thought, he was the first to pick up Xiao Chun.

She was still wearing that school uniform, but her hair was disheveled. Although she tried her best to pretend to be asleep, she still trembled a little when Xiaozhi held her in his arms.

"Alright, you got a fright, didn't you?" Xiaozhi said with a smile, comforting Xiaochun as he escorted her to a private room.

"I'm fine... uh, you know I'm awake?" Xiaochun opened her eyes, her face flushed.

"Everyone in that room was actually awake, but Sabrina didn't notice." Ash put Cher down in another room. "I'm going back now, you should get some rest..."

"Wait...wait a minute!" Seeing Ash about to leave, Haru immediately called out to stop him. "I, actually..."

She hesitated and struggled to express herself.

"I consider Xiaochun a friend, and I don't shy away from my feelings for her," Xiaozhi said earnestly. "If you're willing, we can continue to get along."

"Really...really?" A look of surprise appeared on the girl's face.

"Really, my schedule isn't too tight right now. If you'd like, I'd like to visit Sakuragi Lab."

"Of course you're welcome!" Xiaochun immediately agreed. "Then it's a deal, you have to come to...my house as a guest later."

Xiao Zhi didn't point out his little scheme of turning the research institute into his home; he just smiled and nodded in agreement.

She'll probably sleep well tonight.

...

Back in her original room, Sabrina seemed to relax her guard after seeing that Ash had kept his word.

Ash was the second to choose to carry Korrina out... her posture was really too difficult.

Wearing roller skates, lying on her back with her hands wrapped around her knees, the position and angle were just right... but Xiaozhi and she are definitely not at that stage yet.

"Hey, why did you get into a fight with them too?" Xiao Zhi asked curiously in the hallway outside.

"I saw that no one else was moving, so I didn't move either. Who knew that Naz would actually do that to you..." Korni stuck out her tongue awkwardly and regretfully. To be honest, she was quite looking forward to what would happen next.

"So I have to go back. You should get some rest," Ash said with a smile. "Afterwards, I'll go to Mount Tianqing with you. I have some things to discuss with Ho-Oh."

Ash has no doubt that Marshadow has been unsealed and is now hiding in Korrina's shadow!

...

The third person taken away was Lillie. The girl kept her face covered by her hat, thinking that Ash wouldn't notice...

"Don't you get bored doing this?"

"Thank goodness... it's not!" Lillie panicked when Ash exposed her disguise.

"Don't mind her, Xiaolan's joke went a bit too far this time." Xiaozhi apologized on behalf of someone. "If you encounter something like this again, you don't necessarily have to go along with her."

“I wouldn’t mind, and… wait, later?” Lillie paused for a moment, as if she had thought of something.

"Well, later."

Ash's promise was brief, but as Lillie savored it, she felt increasingly weak and could only collapse limply into his arms.

She kept gazing at Xiaozhi with her bright eyes until he gently placed her on the bed.

"Ash... what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

“Lillie is beautiful, cute, kind, and… confident,” Ash said with a smile.

"Am I... confident?" Lillie seemed surprised to hear this.

“Of course I’m confident,” Ash said confidently. “Lillie never lacks the courage to try new things, and she often assumes she will succeed. Isn’t that confidence?”

“Confidence…” After Ash left, the girl was still thinking about the conversation they had just had.

Yes, she should be more confident!

Go Lillie!

...

"Ash, is it heavy?"

The fourth person to be carried away was Nanami. She didn't intend to pretend to be asleep; as soon as they reached the corridor, she reached out and put her arm around Ash's neck.

"Not at all," Xiaozhi said confidently. "Nanami-neechan, I can hold you like this the whole time without any problem."

“But it’s still a little short…” the beautiful woman smiled gently. “Let’s wait a little longer, until you can truly look down on me.”

"I've been working hard on this." Xiao Zhi's face fell, and for the first time he felt that his current height was such a pity.

...

Next, Ash picked up Lyra... Of course, that's to be expected.

Even if he really had ulterior motives, it's impossible for him to add his god-sister to the party right now.

However, Lila has indeed grown up a bit, not only in age but also in physique, so at least she won't be mistaken for a tomboy anymore.

"Will working as a pioneer be very hard?" The two siblings started chatting on the way.

"It's alright, there aren't many challengers who can stand before me... and their strength is generally average." Lyra leaned against Ash's chest, then suddenly asked with anticipation, "So... can you have a full-force battle with me, brother?"

“No problem. When I go to challenge the Frontier Zone, I will definitely have to meet you, the Lord of the Tower.”

In the Kanto Battle Frontier, there aren't many trainers that Ash is interested in, but if Lyra needs that sense of ritual, he might as well challenge them one by one.

Then, as a challenger, climb over the tower guarded by Lila!

...

After going back and forth five times, when there were only five people left in the house, Xiaozhi suddenly stopped moving.

"Why did you stop... Are you tired?" Naz asked with concern, she was starting to get a little worried.

I wonder if he'll get annoyed running five times in a row...

"I'm not continuing. The rest of you can stay here, including you," Xiao Zhi said with a playful smile.

After those several backtracking attempts, Xiao Zhi's beastly side has already passed.

Now, all that's left in the house are his four official girlfriends, plus Sabrina who wants to seduce him. It's time for Ash to unleash his animalistic nature.

"You guys should be 'wake up' by now," Xiao Zhi called softly into the room, and Xiao Lan and the others opened their eyes at the same time.

“They actually…” Naz was stunned. Only then did she realize that she had been tricked.

"Saria, you're still a long way from playing games with me," Blue said with a grin. "But it doesn't matter if you're included, since you're already Ash's girlfriend anyway."

"it is good."

"Uh... that straight shot really caught me off guard." This time it was Xiao Lan's turn to be taken aback.

She overlooked the fact that Naz was a straightforward woman, and that the other woman was completely immune to this kind of flirting.

What was that saying again? Sincerity is indeed the most powerful weapon.

"Let's get started quickly, or it'll be dawn soon." Xiao Lan crossed her already long, slender legs and teasingly wiggled her toes at Xiao Zhi.

"No...are we really going to be together?" "Isn't this a bit too... hasty?"

At the last minute, Xiaoxia and Serena were starting to have second thoughts.

That's understandable, after all, it was the first time, and who knew they would face such a situation.

"It doesn't matter, it's all voluntary." Blue shrugged and threw herself into Ash's arms. "Anyway, it's all happening in the mental world, nothing will actually happen. If you want to join, just open your heart."

"This method still puzzles me to this day." Xiaoxia couldn't understand what they were after on a spiritual level.

Is it simply because I couldn't help it?

“This should be the best of both worlds,” Rika said softly, wrapping her arm around Ash’s. “It allows us to advance this relationship together, and also preserve the beauty of it until we feel it is at its most beautiful, before truly giving it to Mr. Ash.”

“I don’t understand those things, but I’ll join in.” Naz said decisively as she stepped forward.
