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

Ash still needs to use the Pokémon Center's VoIP service to communicate across regions.

However, he thought it was worthwhile to have someone modify it.

Xiaolan previously messaged him saying she would meet him in Macha City, and Xiaozhi could then go and see the senior that Zhenghui mentioned... Hopefully, his lab hasn't been blown up yet.

Having been delayed for so long, there's nothing new to see along the way.

Even when passing through Beauty Street, Xiaozhi did not encounter Xiaogang.

This is actually a good thing. If you don't need to become an expert, you don't need to learn Pokémon massage in two months.

If Xiaogang is still staying there, the only reason can be that he can't bear to leave his older sister.

But if that's the case, he wouldn't quite live up to his dream of becoming the world's number one breeder.

...

At the Pokémon Center in Fuchsia City, Ash dialed Kalos's number amidst Sabrina's curious gaze.

"Xiao Zhi? Why are you calling me all of a sudden today?"

Hearing the girl's melodious voice on the other end of the phone, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but smile slightly.

"It's been a while since we last talked. I was wondering how you've been." Xiao Zhi smiled at the girl on the other end of the phone. "I sent you and Aunt Sachi perfume when I was in Yuhong City. Did you receive them?"

"I've received it! My... my mom said she wants to thank you properly." The girl on the screen nodded excitedly, her face flushing.

"As long as you like it."

For the past few years, Ash has been video chatting with Serena like this.

They don't need to say much; even just chatting about everyday things is enough to satisfy each other.

However, Xiao Zhi always felt somewhat guilty.

He had clearly promised to go to Carlos, but given the situation in Kanto, he simply couldn't get away.

Fortunately, Serena didn't mind and always understood his difficulties...

"Hey, is this your friend?" Serena saw Sabrina behind Ash through the screen.

"She is Sabrina, the leader of the Saffron Gym, who is traveling with me."

"So this is Sabrina, she's very beautiful!" Serena knew about Ash's previous apprenticeship and immediately greeted Sabrina, "Hello, I'm Serena, Ash's... friend."

"Hello," Naza replied casually. "So... you're his girlfriend, the one he hasn't confessed to yet?"

"Ah...I...Eek!!"

Bang!

Suddenly, the camera on the other side spun around, followed by the sound of a girl accidentally falling to the ground.

"Salina, are you alright?" Ash was startled and rolled his eyes at Sabrina helplessly.

This girl really has no idea how powerful her direct approach is!

"I'm fine!" A small hand appeared in the shot, but Serena didn't get up; only her voice could be heard off-screen.

"Oh, right... I already sent your design to Ms. Ma Xiu, and she seemed quite interested. She even said... well, I'll tell you the details later, bye~"

After hanging up the phone, the girl outside the screen was already blushing.

She didn't let Xiaozhi know that she had been hiding a surprise for him, which would be revealed soon...

Chapter 122 Arrival in the Wilderness

"The wilderness area?"

Sabrina was slightly taken aback after hearing about Ash's upcoming schedule.

She originally thought that Ash came to Fuchsia City to challenge the gym.

"The Crimson Gym isn't in the city. Instead of taking a detour through the deep mountains and forests, we might as well go to Macha City first. That way, after we finish the challenge on the way back, we can head straight to Cinnabar Town."

“Okay.” Sabrina didn’t care, since she was just following Ash anyway.

Furthermore, she was also very interested in the wilderness area.

That place is said to be a place where you can catch Pokémon at will, and Sabrina is currently in a state of anticipation for all sorts of encounters... In short, it's the catching desire that all new trainers have.

Following the map's directions, the two quickly arrived at the entrance to the wilderness area.

"Is anyone home? We'd like to enter the Wild Area." Ash politely knocked on the door of the ranger's hut.

After a while, an old cowboy with gray hair pushed open the door and came out.

"I am Caesar, the person in charge here. Please come in with me."

Explaining your purpose beforehand can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble... After all, Caesar, in the original story, had a rather volatile temper and was always ready to pull out his gun.

While he was busy, Xiaozhi and his companion began to look around the room and immediately noticed the yellowed old photograph on the table.

"Are there any Dratini here?" Sabrina, a pseudo-legendary dragon from Kanto, was naturally familiar with the dragon.

As for the young woman in the photo... she has absolutely no interest in men other than Ash.

"Wait! There are no Dratini here!" Caesar suddenly pounced over, snatched the photo, and hugged it to his arms.

"There's no Dratini here! Grab your Field Balls and Fishing Rods and get out of here, don't wander around in front of me!!"

He was almost out of control, and even touched the pistol at his waist again.

It has to be said, the old man is really brave.

That's why Sabrina's temper is good after she regained her true self; otherwise, she would have turned into a doll by now.

"Mr. Caesar, please take a look at this." To quell the commotion, Ash showed his identification.

“You are…” Caesar froze on the spot.

Despite being a legal gun owner, Caesar, the head of the Wilderness area, is actually a forest ranger.

Therefore, Ash is his superior.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Ash, a junior investigator in the Kanto League. I've come to the Wild Area with my friends to catch Pokémon."

After the formulaic introduction, Ash changed the subject: "I didn't come here specifically to investigate Dratini, but if pseudo-legendary creatures really exist in the Wild Area, I have the right to assess their living environment and safety."

Having already acquired Dragonite, Ash naturally had no interest in the Dragonair mother and baby here.

However, as he said, if the mother and child are really at risk, Xiaozhi will definitely have to consider moving them away.

With Dragonite Island as his backing, he is essentially the guardian of the Kanto pseudo-god race, so he definitely has to take charge of this kind of thing.

"I...I understand." Caesar deflated like a punctured balloon, helplessly handing the baseball and fishing rod to the two of them.

He didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of his superiors... unless he didn't want his position as administrator anymore.

But Caesar had a special reason why he had to stay here no matter what!

...

"The environment here is very nice and relaxing." Upon entering the wilderness area, Naz was immediately attracted by the surrounding scenery.

The vast sky and sea scenery, and the carefree Pokémon, all exude tranquility and harmony.

However, while she was watching, Naz showed absolutely no intention of making a move.

"They're so relaxed."

In the phrase.

Pokémon in the Wild Area rarely engage in battles because their activity areas are designated, food is plentiful, and they have no natural predators.

Although they are all well-developed, they lack the most important thing: the will to fight.

"Lucario, Crobat, Bulbasaur, Kadabra, come out!"

Ash then unleashed four more Poké Balls in quick succession, sending Lucario flying far away as well.

"What kind of training is this?"

Ash would often bring out various handheld items to follow him along the way, and Sabrina, while not finding it strange, also diligently studied them.

"It's training... but also a precaution," Ash explained somewhat awkwardly. "I need to practice my long-range aura resonance with Lucario, and also have it help me be on alert for certain situations."

Ash had to admit that his Aura ability was indeed inferior to that of Lucario, a member of the Sinnoh royal family.

Even after honing his skills, his detection range was only about two kilometers. But now, Lucario can detect every rustle of wind and movement within a five-kilometer radius!

So Ash came up with the idea of ​​remotely linking his waveguide with Lucario.

In this way, Ash can get feedback from Lucario from a greater distance simply by sensing Lucario's aura.

Of course, the main reason for practicing in the wilderness area was to keep an eye on those Tauros.

While the bulldogs are quite strong, Ash isn't sure if he'll encounter a suitable individual Pokémon, and he's also worried about a bizarre plot like in the original series, where a whole group of thirty of them ends up at Professor Oak's lab...

"Hey, your Crobat... has it gotten smaller?" Sabrina, who had been staring at Ash, suddenly asked.

She remembered that when the Crobat first evolved, its wingspan was once close to two meters, but now it is about the same size as the previous Zubat.

"When Crobat evolved, it had excess power and its body became a bit bloated. I've recently been having Kadabra use gravity assistance to help it exercise and lose weight."

Ash pointed at Crobat, which was lying on the ground due to gravity, flapping its wings incessantly in an attempt to get up.
