Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

She nodded gently.

"It is indeed a very constructive idea. It is remarkable to be able to think about problems from this perspective."

Upon being praised, Xiaoxia immediately raised her head proudly, her lips curling up uncontrollably, and she glanced smugly at Xiaozhi and Xiaogang beside her.

Compared to his two teammates who often have unconventional ideas and are easily distracted, he is much better at this.

Miss Joey has such a lovely way of speaking!

If it weren't for their large family being able to flourish throughout the alliance's healthcare service industry!

That vision, that awareness—it's truly exceptional!

"So, Miss Joey, you agree?"

"The Pokémon Center is a place that provides shelter and services for all Pokémon."

Joey glanced at Chansey.

"If it can help maintain a healthy relationship between trainers and Pokémon, I will certainly do my best."

"Luck~"

Joey bent down and looked straight at the leading Charmander.

"Welcome to stay here."

"There is plenty of space in the backyard, and the fruit from the trees can be taken freely."

"If you'd like to help Chansey carry supplies or guide lost Pokémon or trainers, that would be even better—of course, this is entirely voluntary."

"Roar……"

Charizard let out a low growl.

He nodded solemnly, finally putting his mind at ease.

The Pokémon behind him also let out reassuring hums.

"Alright!" Nurse Joy clapped her hands lightly, straightened her body, and regained her capable posture. "Now, I'll go treat the injured Pokémon."

......

The backyard of the Pokémon Center was unusually lively at this moment.

Joy and Chansey pushed a cart, bringing specially made Pokémon food and fresh juice, and held a simple welcome ceremony for all the Pokémon.

It should have been like this...

Ash, however, blended in perfectly naturally, sitting cross-legged among the Pokémon, laughing and joking, with his arms around their shoulders.

He became friends with these Pokémon, each with their own unique personality.

"Everyone!"

Xiao Zhi found a cup from somewhere.

It was filled with orange juice, which he held high above his head, looking around at the Pokémon sitting in a circle.

"I've heard about what you've been doing for a long time!"

"To stand up for what is right, to not let a bad person go unpunished, and to never wrong an innocent person—this is simply the chivalrous act of Pokémon!"

The group of Pokémon looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

There's a reason they find this person agreeable.

See how insightful that summary is!

They just can't come to a conclusion!

"This is the kind of spirit that I, Xiao Zhi, admire most! I aspire to it!"

Xiao Zhi pounded his chest loudly.

"Since we are all people of strong character, then I'd like to propose a toast to you all!"

"Drink this cup to the brim!"

He tilted his head back and gulped it down.

"Roar!" "Whoosh!" "Yuki!"

All the Pokémon in the area followed suit.

They all finished off the small bowls of juice in front of them.

In just one day.

Ash became friends with these Pokémon who were once wary of humans.

"That's really impressive."

Upon witnessing this scene, Joey couldn't help but exclaim softly, his eyes filled with admiration.

She took a few steps forward and spoke to Xiaozhi, who had just put down his cup and wiped his mouth.

"By the way, Ash, have you ever thought about working at our Pokémon Center?"

"Although we are usually quite busy at work and may not have many long holidays, our welfare benefits are very comprehensive, including six types of insurance and two types of funds. Overtime pay for holidays is calculated according to the highest standard in the alliance."

"No way!" Ash waved his hand almost without thinking. "I'm going to be a Pokémon Master!"

Pokémon Master?

what is that?

Joey looked puzzled.

Is having a league-based system really that appealing? This would save us from taking so many detours!

"Miss Joy, since Ash is unwilling, how about I do it?"

Xiao Gang, who had been quietly preparing food for everyone, suddenly appeared beside Joey.

"My expertise lies in Pokémon care, dietary preparation, and..."

"Hmm... Ah, this..."

Joey's smile became somewhat subtle, and she looked at Xiaogang with a slightly troubled expression.

"I suddenly remembered that our Pokémon Center seems to be at full capacity for the time being."

......

We took a break.

The three were about to set off again.

Surrounded by a group of Pokémon, Ash clapped his hands.

"Alright! No need to see me off. I'm relieved to see you've found a place to stay."

"We have a long future ahead of us!"

The Pokémon immediately became agitated.

They exchanged glances.

Finally, all eyes fell on Young Gilas.

"Yuki..."

Young Giras took sturdy little steps and pattered up to Ash.

It raised its little hand and handed over a red and white Poké Ball that looked very clean.

He patted Xiao Zhi on the shoulder.

They're all from remote mountain villages, so I don't have much else to give you, and this is all I'll give you!

Take it! Keep it as a souvenir!

"Is this a farewell gift?"

Xiao Gang examined the Poké Ball.

"Giving away Poké Balls? That's quite useful..."

Why only give gifts to Ash!?

Xia, standing to the side, looked on in disbelief.

"What about mine? What about mine?"

"I was the one who came up with this plan and thought of this great place for you, wasn't I?"

The Pokémon were taken aback by her question.

Hmm...it seems so?

They quickly gathered together, heads touching, backs to Xiaoxia, and began a rapid, dense chattering discussion, occasionally accompanied by small arguments and gestures.

"Yuki!"

A moment later, Young Gilas was chosen again.

It groped around on its own body for a while, then reluctantly and slowly placed a cold, angular object with orange patterns into Xiaoxia's hand.

"This is..." Xiaoxia looked at the cold, hard object in her hand, tilting her head, "A stone?"

Xiao Gang leaned closer and squinted to examine it carefully.

“Hmm…” he murmured, “No, this is no ordinary stone!”

"Look at the color, the hue...!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia moved even closer to take a closer look.

"...These are armor plates that fell off the Super Armored Rhinoceros!"

Xiao Gang asserted.

Young Gilas nodded with a heavy heart, his round little eyes still fixed on the piece of armor that had been given away, revealing a deep sense of reluctance.

It hadn't even had a chance to sneak a taste of what it was like before it was given away!

Losing big!
