Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

The visa card is stuck tight.

"Oh dear, Ash, you can't even figure this out!"

Xiaoxia chimed in from the side.

"This kind of Pokémon will definitely attract Team Rocket!"

"..."

"Although this speculation is reasonable given the Rockets' past practices."

"But in recent years they have been hit hard by international police and alliances, and they have become much more restrained. They will not stay in a fixed sea area for a long time to guard a Pokémon whose whereabouts are unknown."

Zheng Hui rejected it again.

Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia both turned their attention to Xiaogang, who had been listening attentively.

Xiao Gang glanced at Zheng Hui.

"A researcher?"

Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.

"really."

"Makes sense."

"As expected of Teacher Gang, his thinking is meticulous, and he answers questions while looking at the answers."

Zheng Hui: "......"

Although he was indeed brought here, that's not what he wanted to say!

"Kanto region, gigantic, Dragonite, it shouldn't be Lance the Dragon!"

"So... Lance has a giant Dragonite?"

"Pikachu?"

Xiaoxia, Xiaozhi, and Pikachu instinctively looked at Xiaogang.

Is the value of an older man still increasing?

"He does want to."

Zhenghui pursed his lips.

“That hanging man… cough cough, I mean, Du did come after hearing the news and even tried to make contact.”

"But that Dragonite was not only enormous, but also incredibly fast, appearing and disappearing like a ghost..."

"In short, they escaped from the hands of the Dragon Ferry."

"Since then, it has rarely appeared in the waters around here on foggy days, probably because it has moved to a more secluded place."

"Speaking of which..."

Zheng Hui seemed to suddenly remember something, rummaged through his tool bag, took out a uniquely designed wristband, and casually tossed it to Xiao Zhi.

"This is... the wristband needed for Dynamax?"

Xiao Zhi caught it and recognized it.

"I'll give it to you. I don't need it anyway."

Zheng Hui waved his hand casually.

"Back then, I was even thinking of trying to replicate the principle of Dynamax by studying that special Dragonite."

"If it weren't for that damn... cough cough, if it weren't for the Dragon Ferry's trick, I might have actually been able to figure it out."

56. Fellow villagers meeting!

As dawn broke, the sea fog dissipated.

Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, and Xiaogang, who had stayed at the lighthouse for one night, packed their belongings early and said goodbye to Zhenghui.

Zhenghui escorted the three of them to the door.

Then, seizing the last opportunity, he nagged at Xiaozhi.

"Brother, if you ever feel like you can't make it as a trainer anymore, you absolutely must think of contacting me first!"

"The doors to my lighthouse, and the position at my research institute, are always open for you..."

"Skin--!"

Zheng Hui hadn't finished speaking.

He was pushed aside by his beloved Pipi.

"I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Zheng Hui tried to struggle, but Pi Pi, who had a serious expression, covered his mouth.

"Skin!"

Time is tight and the task is heavy!

It's time! It's time!

Without saying a word, Pipi stuffed several items into Ash's hands.

There are sparkling stones, a smooth seashell, and a small jar of its treasured tree fruit gummies.

"..."

Zheng Hui watched from the side, his eyes twitching slightly.

What I'm saying is, isn't this young man's friendliness a little too strong?

Pipi had asked for that jar of gummies several times, but she always kept it tightly sealed away...

So you just gave it away so casually?

"Ouch, that hurts, doesn't it?"

Xiaoxia patted Zhenghui on the shoulder with an "I understand you" expression on her face.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it."

"Pikachu".

Pikachu nodded in agreement.

Xiaoxia's words make sense.

One is born, the second is cooked.

Look at Xiaoxia, she's been pricked so many times.

Naturally, one's heart expands, and one can even comfort others from the perspective of a victim.

Of course, there's a reason why Clefairy and Ash became so close in just half a day.

I woke up from my coma last night and learned the whole truth and my background from Zheng Hui.

Pipi couldn't wait to rush to Ash's room and have a long talk with him all night.

He relied on a hometown accent that he spoke entirely from memory and was only half-baked.

Xiao Zhi was so moved that he burst into tears.

The favorability rating also skyrocketed.

In just one night, Ash had become half of his hometown in its heart.

......

"Okay, okay, no need to deliver any further, this is enough."

I said goodbye to Pipi, who had been seen off for almost two miles.

The three embarked on their journey once again.

As you walk along the coastline, the ground beneath your feet gradually transforms into a solid, flat road.

When the sun is directly overhead.

A bustling port scene finally came into view for the three of them.

"So this is Konoha City!"

Xiao Zhi gazed into the distance and said.

"Pikachu—!"

Pikachu stood on his head, its ears perked up, peering out curiously.

The towering steel arms of the cranes swayed slowly against the azure sky.

The massive cargo ship was docked at the deep-water pier, its horn sounding long and deep.

"It really is...!"

Ash's gaze swept over the rows of ships and the bustling dock, as he racked his brains for the right adjectives.

Finally, he sighed.

"...There are a lot of ship monsters!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu nodded in agreement.

There are definitely a lot of strange things!

Although Konoha City is not as full of high-rise buildings and orderly streets as Evergreen City.

But the ships coming and going, the sailors and trainers dressed in various styles.

It has given the city a different kind of vibrant and lively atmosphere.

“It’s normal to have a lot of ships,” Xiao Gang put away his map guide and introduced like a seasoned guide, “Kuroba City is one of the most important maritime hubs in the Kanto region.”

He pointed to the crowd of people carrying luggage that could be vaguely seen on the dock in the distance.
