Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

It seemed to have already foreseen the days when a few words of conversation would be followed by battle, battle, and more battle!

Chief Translator!

Its dragon life cannot be without you!

Xiaoxia looked at Dragonite's exaggerated "life-or-death" expression.

Compared to my own Pokémon, I instantly felt much more at ease.

Humans are very strange creatures.

It's like taking an exam. If you're the only one who scored 59 and was just one point short of passing, you might be upset for a long time.

But if everyone in the dorm does this...

Even the top four students in the whole school were like this, and at that moment I felt that this was no big deal.

After all, that's how the Elite Four's Pokémon are.

So, having your home raided isn't your fault at all!

Correct!

It's not my problem at all!

My legs were grabbed.

Xiao Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

He bent down and easily pried open the Dragonite's claws.

It was easy to pull it up.

"Going with you is definitely not an option..."

Upon hearing this, Dragonite pouted and made as if to pounce on him and hug his leg again.

But with Ash's arms supporting him, he couldn't bend over no matter what.

"But don't panic!"

Xiao Zhi continued.

"As long as you don't give up, there will always be more solutions than problems!"

"It's just about Brother Du! I'll use my super wisdom to help you now!"

Brock, Misty, and Lance all focused their attention on Ash.

Especially Watari, even though they didn't spend much time together.

But he felt that his little brother...

He doesn't seem like the traditional "cultured person" or "strategist" type at all.

"Um......"

"Pikachu..."

Steam was visibly rising from Ash's head.

The CPU is clearly operating at full speed.

Pikachu tilted its head, looking like it was seriously thinking.

"Oh! I'm pregnant!"

A few seconds later, Xiao Zhi suddenly clapped his hands.

"The key to the problem lies in finding the key problem!"

"So for Brother Du's sake, and for your own sake as well."

Ash patted Dragonite, his tone resolute.

Go study!

"Ow?"

Dragonite tilted its head, looking completely bewildered.

study?

"Correct!"

"Learning changes destiny! Knowledge is power!"

Xiao Zhi nodded vigorously.

He reached into his backpack, pulled out his Pokédex, snapped it open, and nimbly pressed a few buttons to bring up his notepad.

Then he typed two words.

He held up the Pokédex, the screen facing Dragonite, his eyes full of guidance.

"Look! Have you understood?"

Dragonite stared at those two words, blinked, then blinked again.

It's like I've caught something.

It's as if I haven't grasped anything at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi seized the opportunity and felt his thinking become incredibly clear.

"Look, since Brother Du sometimes can't explain things clearly, or explains them too simply so that others can't understand, why don't you go and help him explain!"

"Brother Watanabe, you just state the key points up front, and Dragonite, you just add explanations and translations from behind. Wouldn't that solve the problem perfectly?"

"Huh?"

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were taken aback.

Watari himself raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly considering the issue from this perspective for the first time.

Dragonite looked down at the Pokédex that Ash had placed in its paw, still warm from Ash's touch.

It looked up at Ash, who was looking at it with encouraging eyes, and then glanced at Lance, who was looking thoughtful beside it. Its paws trembled slightly.

It suddenly felt as if it was holding not a cold machine, but a key to a new world!

It was the starting point of a turning point in my destiny!

......

Finding a gentle stretch of coastline nearby, the Saint Anne slowly came to a stop.

With Ferry's endorsement, Ash, Misty, and Brock successfully disembarked and stepped onto solid ground.

On the deck, the Dragonite, about to part ways, showed particular reluctance.

It pulled out a bulging little bag and stuffed it all into Xiao Zhi's arms.

Du, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

He subconsciously touched the empty pocket under his cloak.

It was filled with all sorts of things he had carefully selected.

As a result, it was simply sent out like that.

You gave it to him, and he understands that you're close to Xiaozhi.

But at least... leave him, the legitimate trainer, a couple of things to save face!

Now that the cape is lifted, there's probably only air left in the pockets.

What does it look like?

What kind of behavior is this!

Anyone who didn't know better would think he couldn't afford to give gifts!

A moment of silence.

Du opened his mouth.

"I'll take care of things with Shiba for you."

The cultivation manual of Shiba, isn't this a generous gift?

Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Holding a bag full of gifts.

"Thanks, bro!"

Dragonite patted its broad chest, about to speak, then seemed to remember something.

He quickly used his paws to pull out Lance's Pokédex and eagerly started typing on it in his notebook.

The screen lights up, displaying the message it wants to convey.

Why thank him?

【Wonderfully, I'll be the one to step in then!】

It takes the lead in both civil and military matters!

Watari: "......"

......

Saying goodbye to one man and one dragon.

The three of them stepped onto solid ground and huddled together to study the route ahead.

Xiao Gang skillfully operated the encyclopedia, zooming in on the map.

"Look, this is where we are now."

Xiao Gang pointed to a flashing dot on the map and then swiped towards a prominent city landmark not far away.

"This is Golden City, and it's not actually that far as the crow flies."

"Once we get past this mountainous cliff area, we should be able to see the outline of the city."

With their goal clear, the three of them quickened their pace.
