Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

Good grief! You're something else! Super Wooden Man Ash!

You have no idea what that sip of water meant, do you?! Your reaction is absolutely priceless!

'What do I care about... Ash is just an idiot, how could he possibly care about those details...'

Xiaoxia shook her head, slowly calming her wildly beating heart.

She would never admit that she likes Ash Ketchum...

……

In the video—

Xia, the person involved, was completely unaware of the investigation, while Xiaogang, though aware of the situation, kept quiet.

As for Ash... he felt nothing at all.

He had a momentary expression of satisfaction on his face after drinking the water, but then he suddenly returned to normal.

"What... I think Mom's milk cocoa tastes better..."

Hanako, who was watching, was taken aback for a moment, then her smile widened.

It seems that even after I find a wife, I won't forget my mother~

In the video—

Faced with Ash's rough assessment, Misty and Brock shouted in disbelief.

How can you compare cocoa to the spring water here?!

"You really have no taste for water!"

"Can't distinguish between good and bad! *2"

Xiao Zhi retorted, unconvinced.

"What do you mean you can't tell good from bad? Pikachu, come and drink this! It's clearly just ordinary spring water!"

"Pickup?"

Pikachu curiously took the metal cup and drank it along with Togepi.

"Pickup!!"

Pikachu and Togepi simultaneously emitted joyful sounds.

Even his expression suggested that his body and mind had been cleansed.

"seriously……"

For the first time, Xiao Zhi began to doubt his own sense of taste.

……

The little incident quickly passed, and Luna then provided the three of them with a small, hand-operated wooden boat.

Since it's going downstream, it doesn't actually require much effort if the three of them row together.

After saying goodbye to Luna, the three began rowing downstream. Just then, the scene paused...

[Quick Q&A: During a rowing trip, three people encountered an unexpected situation and had to turn back. Who exerted the most effort to go against the current?]

[A: Xiaoxia.]

[B: Xiaogang.]

C: Xiao Zhi.

[D: Pikachu.]

[The quiz lasts two minutes and will be conducted in a buzzer-beater format. The timer is now on...]

It's unbelievable that a temporary Q&A session appeared so quickly, and the questions this time are... unexpectedly simple!

[Yu Longdu: Hehe, is there even a need to think about this? It's definitely C!]

[Dalmatian: While I think Lance's prediction is pretty accurate, I also think... besides Ash, only water can carry a small boat upstream, right?!]

[Leon: Haha, do you trust Ash more than Leon's jinx?]

[Shiba: Of course! It's definitely Ash! Not picking Ash this time would be stupid!]

This time, everyone unanimously agreed to choose Ash!

Although they weren't very familiar with Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, they were very familiar with Xiaozhi!

Of these four options, only Ash could row the small boat and take the two of them back upstream!

Please! That's going against the current! Nobody thinks Pikachu, Brock, or Misty could do that, right?!

……

Backyard of Oak's Laboratory:

"I wonder if I'll be able to snag one..."

Xiaoxia looked nervously at the answer button in front of her.

Finally, there's a question I'm confident I can answer correctly, but there are too many applicants and not enough spots.

Only the person with the fastest hands in the world can answer this question... Xiaoxia was a little unsure of herself.

"...Actually, I think it's most likely A!"

A glint of wisdom flashed in Xiao Gang's unseen eyes!

"A? How is that possible? Xia...she...wait, it seems Xia really does have that kind of strength!"

Xiao Zhi instinctively wanted to refute her, but after arguing for a while, he suddenly realized something.

Everyone thought Sister Xia was the kind of delicate and frail girl, but little did they know...

She's the kind of woman who can run all the way to Tokiwa City in the rain with a bicycle that's been electrocuted!

In terms of strength, even Ash might not be a match for Misty when he's extremely angry!

"Hey! How rude of me! What do you mean I have that kind of strength?! I'm just a weak woman, okay!"

Xiaoxia couldn't sit still any longer!

Can't these two even speak properly?! It's one thing to say that during a private trip, but...

There are so many people here! Won't Aunt Hanako think she's a violent woman...?

"Even if Xiaoxia has that strength, Xiaogang, why do you think it's Xiaoxia?"

Xiao Zhi asked with some curiosity.

"In the video, we're rowing on a clear river, and we're going to pass through a forest along the riverbank. You know, clear river water... is a favorite of Bug-type Pokémon!"

In an instant, Ash and Misty knew the reason.

Speaking of Bug-type Pokémon... that's what Misty is most afraid of!

If there really were a bunch of Bug-type Pokémon, it wouldn't be surprising if Misty just went into a Super Pokémon form and rowed back.

Xiao Mao was completely confused. Bug-type Pokémon... what does that have to do with Xiao Xia?

Soon, the time for the quiz was up! Who got to answer this time was…

[Answerer: Xiao Mao!]

"Shh!"

Everyone immediately looked in Xiao Mao's direction, while Xiao Mao revealed a proud smile.

"Hahaha! It's finally my turn to answer the questions! Although I'm not single, the hand speed I honed in the arcade hasn't been wasted!"

Xiao Mao is proud to have won the right to answer the question among thousands of people!

"Xiao Mao, what do you choose?"

Faced with Ash's question, Gary confidently selected one of the options.

[Xiao Mao's choice: A, Xiao Xia!]

[Yulongdu: Huh? No, Shigeru, do you even know how to choose?! Why did you choose A?]

[Karuno: Kasumi...choosing her is a bit much~ She's a girl, after all!]

[Shiba: Exactly! A weak woman trying to lead two people and two Pokémon upstream in a wooden boat?! There's a limit to how far-fetched that is!]

[Kona: I met Xia quite a few times recently, and she's so skinny, she doesn't seem like someone with that kind of strength~ Xiaomao, who told you that?]

While everyone was questioning Xiao Mao's answer, Tiandao Pan Dian had already provided the correct answer.

[Xiao Mao... Correct answer. Reward has been issued. Please check.]

[Dragon Crossing: ...]

[Shiba: ...]

【…】

A major face-slapping moment has occurred!

One minute they're saying Xiaoxia couldn't possibly possess that kind of power! The next minute, the Heavenly Dao's assessment provides the answer.
