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

The commotion in the woods startled the two children who were daydreaming. The usually gentle Bobo suddenly became as ferocious as a scorpion, and without saying a word, it swarmed over, scaring the two children so much that they ran away as fast as they could.

But Xiaochun soon discovered that these Bobos seemed completely uninterested in him, only chasing after Gouhao and attacking him with their wings and pecking, making him scream in pain.

She did want to help Gouhao shield him, but those Bobo seemed to have locked onto their target, always avoiding her and then looking for an opportunity to continue attacking Gouhao.

Helpless, they could only drive the animals away and venture deeper into the forest, finally escaping Bobo's gang attack.

But Doghao's misfortune did not end there. He was soon attacked by a swarm of unicorns with their poisonous stings, while Beedrill, with its double-needle dance, was constantly preparing to blast him.

After that, there was Rattata's Bite, Poliwag's Water Gun, and finally, a Pichu and a Kangaskhan appeared, who rewarded Gouda with a Power Attack and a High Five respectively.

The Pokémon in the entire forest are no longer as gentle and harmless as before. They treat Gou Gou as a class enemy and will beat anyone they encounter.

All of this started because Lyra said something to the Pokémon... This annoying guy angered Ash!

So the news spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, until the entire forest rose up to attack!

"Are you...saved?" "I guess so..."

After barely managing to escape to a clearing in the woods, Xiaochun and Gouhao finally got a moment to catch their breath.

However, compared to Xiaochun, whose braids were just a little messy, the annoying Hei Pi was definitely in a worse state.

He was soaked to the bone, covered in bruises, and even had a hole in the back of his pants from a bee…

"Seriously... what's wrong with these Pokémon? They're all so annoying!" Gou complained, panting as he sat on the ground. "And why do they only attack me?"

He turned angrily to Xiaochun, who was unharmed beside him, his eyes even showing a hint of resentment, but without any intention of self-reflection.

"Xiao Hao..." Xiao Chun's eyes showed a hint of grievance. She wanted to argue, but was interrupted by a sudden tremor from not far away.

Afterwards, the two saw the smoke and fire caused by the battle.

"A Pokémon battle? What a coincidence!" Dog Gou, who had already forgotten the pain even before his scars had healed, scrambled to his feet and ran off to join the fun.

"Sigh..." Behind him, Xiaochun shook her head helplessly, but had no choice but to continue following.

They soon discovered that the two were a mighty Nidoking and a small, cute Pokémon that looked like a long-tailed kitten.

Despite the huge size difference, the battle was one-sided. No matter what special move Nidoking used, the opposing Pokémon could counter with the same move, practically toying with the opponent and forcing them to retreat!

"Wow, amazing... what kind of Pokémon is this?" Gouhao couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Hey, this is really something new. There are even Pokémon you don't know about?" Xiao Lan appeared with Lila at this moment. "But I might as well tell you. Professor Oak once obtained some information about it. It's called Mew, and it's a Mythical Pokémon that possesses all the genes of Pokémon."

"Mew... Okay, I've decided!" Gou Gou suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Once I become a Pokémon Trainer, I'm definitely going to catch Mew!"

"Wow..." Mew, who was in the middle of the battle, couldn't help but shudder. It seemed that it was so shocked by this disgusting 'vision' that it lost its composure and almost got slapped in the face by Nidoking's big punch~

"Hehe~" As for such a far-fetched fantasy, Xiao Lan just sneered and secretly beckoned to the bushes behind her.

"Nidoran!!" A Nidoran suddenly appeared out of nowhere and flew in front of Dog Hao. Before Dog Hao could react, it launched a series of kicks!

Fighting-type moves are incredibly effective against annoying opponents!

After knocking the dog down with one blow, Nidolan still seemed unsatisfied. It then raised its little paws and launched a frenzied attack on the dog's face!

"Hey! Stop... What are you doing? Help!!"

For a time, Gouhao's screams continued, and the forest was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Nonsense!"

Even Mew, who was just now, is no longer fighting with Nidoking, but is instead covering its mouth with its little paws and laughing nonstop~

Chapter Nine: The Finale of Summer Camp, More Than Friends

"Stop...please stop right now! Help...ahhh!!"

In the clearing in the woods, the delightful screams continued to echo until Dog-Hao was out of breath and Xiao-Chun frantically tried to stop him. Only then did Nidoran finally cease his attack…

Of course, it might just be tired from playing; after all, it's still just a kid.

"Damn it! What are you trying to do?! You…"

Having finally escaped the attack, Dog Hao quickly forgot the pain again, but after being glared at by Nidolan, he immediately cowered and shrank back.

"Well, I think Nidoran might just simply dislike you~" Blue sneered from the side, and Nidoran cooperated by turning around and scratching his hind legs twice at Gouhou...

It looked like they were burying something that had been expelled from the body.

The children in Pallet Town have spent most of their time in the forest, so like Ash, they all have good friends they made early on, the kind they can take with them when they turn ten.

This Nidoran naturally played with Blue, and all the Pokémon in the forest partied together in a lovey-dovey party. Blue naturally had to hand over the final baton to it.

"By the way, I just heard...you want to tame a dream?" After mocking for a while, Xiao Lan remembered Gouhao's 'howling barks' and shook her head noncommittally. "I advise you not to even dream about it. With your abilities, you'd never do it, not even in your next life~"

"Damn it! How do you know I can't do it?!" Ignoring the injuries on his face, Gouhao immediately shouted defiantly, "If I want to, there's no Pokémon I can't catch! Just you wait, when I become a trainer, the first Pokémon I'll catch is Mew!"

"The first one..." "Taming Dream?"

"absurd?"

This even more absurd boast than before shocked Xiao Lan and Lila, while Dreamy was completely dumbfounded, as if looking at an idiot.

"Give me a break. There's absolutely no way Fantasy Westward Journey would ever want someone like you." Little Blue, regaining her composure, shook her head disdainfully. "After all… it might not be human, but you really are a dog~"

"What did you say... Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!"

After being openly belittled by Xiao Lan, Gouhao became furious and was about to throw a tantrum again, but this aggravated the injury on his face, so he could only cover his cheek and keep yelling.

As for Mew, which he said he wanted to 'capture first,' it circled around Blue and Lila twice before giggling and flying away.

"So you guys are all here... Hey, Goh, what happened to your face?" Just then, an anxious call came from afar, and Professor Oak finally rushed over.

But what greeted him was a seemingly harmless little blue dog with a smile, and a bunch of wailing, clowns.

"She...it's all their fault! Aren't you a professor? Aren't you going to do something about them?! Waaah...is there no justice in this world?!"

"Blue, what's going on?" Professor Oak frowned and turned to Blue, but the latter immediately put on a wronged and scared look and quickly hid behind Lila.

"Professor, this isn't my fault... Waaah, Ash made me do it, you can ask Lyra if you don't believe me~"

"Sister Xiaolan..." Lila was speechless as she looked at Xiaolan behind her, who was sobbing but not a drop of rain was falling.

No... this is not what we agreed on before!

How could you sell my brother out?!

"Achoo!!" Outside the forest, someone suddenly let out a huge sneeze for no apparent reason.

"Ash, are you alright?" Serena asked anxiously from her arms, almost reaching out to touch Ash's cheek.

"It's nothing." Xiao Zhi sniffed; he had just felt a sudden chill for no reason...

It was as if someone had slammed a pot lid on his head.

"Could it be that I'm too tired? Actually, I..."

"It's okay, I'm not tired at all. I can carry you back to the lab just like this without any problem~" Before Serena could finish speaking, Ash immediately puffed out his chest and raised both arms at the same time, making it look like he was in complete control.

"Okay..." Serena weakly covered her face with her hands. She had wanted to say that she could get down and walk around.

But since Ash thinks it's okay, then... let's continue like this.

...

Ash only heard about the farce in the forest later, but he wasn't too surprised.

He knew from the beginning that Xiao Lan was hiding her witch nature, and he also guessed that she might use his words as an excuse to make trouble, so he couldn't be completely blamed, since he had instigated her to do so.

It's a bit of a shame that I didn't get to see the Dream... but it doesn't matter, there will definitely be plenty of opportunities to see all sorts of legends in the future.

As for the outcome of the farce, Gouhao and Xiaochun did not participate in the rest of the summer camp and returned home early that afternoon, and the whole matter ended there.

What else can we do?

It's just a little squabble between a few kids, why make such a big deal out of it?

With Ash taking the blame, Professor Oak couldn't possibly side with someone else. Haru's father, Professor Sakuragi, was also Professor Oak's student, so naturally he wouldn't dare to hold his teacher accountable for such a small matter.

But once it loses the support of its childhood sweetheart's family, what kind of beast is Gouhao?

Ash didn't care whether this guy stayed or left, or how he threw a tantrum in front of Professor Oak's lab.

He has more important things to do now.

Summer camp is a short time, and in those few days, Xiaozhi has to take responsibility for his 'newly made' friend to prevent her from feeling lonely and isolated because she's in an unfamiliar place...

Okay, so he was actually actively trying to seduce Serena.

Admitting this, Xiaozhi doesn't think he has a problem.

Now that he's confirmed his feelings for Serena, Ash, being a brave and compassionate protagonist, naturally has to take the initiative... otherwise, the Aura Force will get back at him.

Besides, what exactly were the thoughts of the otaku who watched anime in his previous life? Now that Xiaozhi has transmigrated, can he deny it?

Anyway, he's not going to pretend to be clueless and wait for girls to throw themselves at him; that would be so unmanly!

If you don't dare to admit your true feelings and even deceive yourself, how can you be sincere to others?

Of course, taking the initiative doesn't mean Ash has to become a teddy bear; it simply means trying to build a good relationship with Serena within the current age range.

Seven years old is indeed a bit young, but at least they can reach a state of friendship or more...

And so, the time finally came to the last day of summer camp.
