Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Xiaoxia put her hands on her hips, raised her head and straightened up... well, she just straightened up for a moment and hummed.

"Starfish, we..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Ash and Pikachu exchanged a knowing glance and then nodded.

In perfect unison, they pulled out several temperature-controlled electronic insulated boxes from their backpacks.

The box contained neatly stacked sandwiches that the auntie had specially prepared for them when they left the Pokémon Center, worried that they might have a hard time.

Unexpectedly!

This is our escape route!

"Hey! What do you mean by this?"

Seeing the person and the mouse about to stuff the sandwich into their mouths, Xiaoxia angrily questioned them.

"We've been through thick and thin together!"

"With this level of friendship right here, don't you still believe in my cooking skills?"

Xiaoxia said with some heartache.

"Do you think I, Xiaoxia, would harm you?!"

Ash and Pikachu exchanged a glance, swallowed the food in their mouths, and then nodded very honestly and in unison.

Is this something that even needs to be asked?

"You...you are despicable!"

Aside from helplessly resorting to her stomp move, Misty was completely unable to do anything to Ash.

After all, it's the middle of nowhere, and you can't win a fight on your own.

But at least she wasn't alone, at least the starfish was still on her side... she comforted herself with that thought.

"So, it seems we're the only ones among those starfish...?"

She turned around with her last glimmer of hope, only to find herself completely alone.

"Huh? A starfish?"

He was surprised to find that his Pokémon did not stay by his side to support him as he had expected.

Xiaoxia looked closely and saw that the starfish had already betrayed Pikachu, approached Pikachu, picked up what looked like the biggest and most substantial sandwich, and was about to eat it.

Upon hearing Xiaoxia's words, Haixingxing froze.

hold head high?

How come stars are involved here?

Feeling Xiaoxia's gaze gradually becoming kinder.

Starfish has a quick idea!

It immediately seemed to remember something important, and in a sliding kneeling motion, it raised the untouched sandwich high in a gesture of offering it as if presenting a treasure, and eagerly handed it to Xiaoxia.

I have come by chance to obtain a divine object, and I have come today to present it to the Prime Minister!

I hope the Prime Minister will investigate this matter thoroughly. Even now, that starfish is still loyal!

"Try it, this is specially made for us by your aunt. She knows you like it, so she added double the cheese!"

Unable to bear seeing Staryu act like that, Ash immediately used his emotional intelligence to help his good friend out of the predicament.

I could smell the mixed aroma of cheese and ham in the air.

Xiaoxia sniffed hard, but still stubbornly turned her face away.

A bunch of traitors!

How could she possibly give in to this...?

Gollum~

Her stomach, to her dismay, let out a clear rumble.

Despite walking all day, Xiaozhi was still full of energy, but Xiaoxia was extremely exhausted and starving.

In the end, Xia, whose body betrayed her, sat down angrily, picked up a sandwich, and began to criticize it harshly.

With one bite, the soft bread, savory ham, and slightly melted cheese blend perfectly in your mouth, as if it had just been made.

That's the only advantage of Electric-type Pokémon.

You can charge your appliances anytime you're outdoors.

"Hmm~" Xia couldn't help but squint her eyes. "It has a rich and smooth texture with a slightly sweet aftertaste. This cheese is made with milk from the Big Milk Tank."

Xiaoxia affirmed.

But when Ash, Pikachu, and Staryu all looked at her, she immediately straightened her face and resumed her angry expression.

"Hmph! But it's still a little bit short of my culinary skills."

Xiaoxia commented.

"If I were making it, I would definitely chop the cherry, jujube, and limousine into glistening crumbs and sprinkle them on the cheese like starlight. The interplay of red, pink, and yellow colors would not only elevate the overall visual experience but also add layers of fruity aroma!"

"Is that so?"

Xiao Zhi answered casually.

He knew nothing about these things; he simply didn't want to eat Xia's cooking.

But Pikachu, standing nearby, broke out in a cold sweat, its little paws unconsciously clenching the half-eaten sandwich.

I ate these kinds of fruits when I was young and naive, and I was still a Pikachu!

The spiciness of cherry, the astringency of jujube, the indescribable strange aftertaste of limousine... all I can say is that apart from their vibrant colors, the taste is simply indescribable.

If you actually add it in, this sandwich will probably only be good as a decoration.

"Oh, right!"

While eating, Xiao Zhi suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something important.

I almost forgot about you!

He took out a Poké Ball, a red light flashed, and the Caterpie, which was still fast asleep inside the ball, was summoned out and lay limply on the ground.

Xiaoxia shifted her position slightly. After the last incident, she could barely tolerate the caterpillar not getting within a meter of her.

"Wake up, wake up, it's time to eat."

"grumble?"

The drooling green caterpillar, still sleepy-eyed, raised its little head blankly.

Xiao Zhi carefully cut a sandwich into small pieces suitable for it and pushed it in front of it.

According to his good friend, the caterpillar boy, what the green caterpillar needs most right now is plenty of nutrition.

From now on, we'll start preparing the energy reserves for its evolution into Metapod.

The green caterpillar, regaining its senses, looked around warily, first glancing left and right.

Once fully awake, the green caterpillar cautiously looked left and right, its antennae standing erect, confirming that the pervert who had previously groped it was no longer nearby. Only then did it feel at ease as it approached and began to devour its own dinner.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Zhi patted the food crumbs off his hands and stood up contentedly.

"Caterpillar, you stay here and watch the luggage. Eat slowly." He pointed to the backpacks piled up to the side. "Xia and I will go collect some more firewood."

Maintaining a stable fire source is still quite important at night.

"Chirp!" The green caterpillar, engrossed in its meal, responded indistinctly without even looking up.

"Let's split up and go this way." Ash, leading Pikachu, pointed to the dense thicket on the east side of the forest.

"Then I'll go over there." Xia pointed to the sparser woods to the west, then turned and shouted sharply, "Starfish!!!"

With a sharp shout, Staryu, who had instinctively followed Ash, froze.

broken!

Now I'm going to get scolded again!

After a while of making a fuss, the two people's footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

The camp fell silent, with only the sounds of caterpillars munching on their food and the crackling of slightly damp firewood in the fire.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft sound was heard.

The green caterpillar instantly raised its head in alarm, forgetting to chew the food in its mouth.

Just a moment ago, it felt as if something was watching it.

It nervously looked around, but the feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared.

"grumble?"

The green caterpillar tilted its head in confusion, thinking it was just being paranoid, before relaxing slightly and lowering its head again to continue eating.

Just as it was engrossed in eating its sandwich, a lithe figure was silently approaching the camp under the cover of darkness and the shadows of the trees.

"Shh!"

A sudden change has occurred!

Just as the caterpillar was engrossed in enjoying its dinner, a brown figure darted down from the treetop like an arrow!

Its sharp claws gleamed coldly as it aimed straight for the top of its head!

"Shout!"

The figure let out a triumphant neigh.

Not only are there sandwiches, but there's also such a plump green caterpillar... Pidgey, your dinner is sorted!

A green caterpillar with insect-like properties.

They are naturally an important part of the diet of Flying-type Pokémon like Pidgey and Spearow.

"Shout!"
