Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"That's when we leave Yuhong City to attend the conference."

Xiao Gang recalled.

"That Psyduck was following us the whole time that day, wasn't it? Then it suddenly disappeared. I thought it had given up, but I never expected..."

He looked at Misty's Poké Ball.

"I didn't expect it to crawl into your Poké Ball."

Xiaoxia was stunned.

She looked down at Psyduck.

Psyduck looked at her too, its expression still innocent.

Xiaoxia: "..."

She suddenly remembered.

She did feel something touch her backpack that day.

But when she looked back, there was nothing there, so she didn't pay any attention.

Looking back now...

This is the guy who's sneaking in!

"you you……"

Xiaoxia pointed at Psyduck, her fingers trembling.

Why didn't you tell me?!

"Gah?"

Psyduck tilted its head, looking completely bewildered.

Xiaoxia took a deep breath.

He took another deep breath.

Take another deep breath.

Then--

She sighed.

"Fine……"

She carried the Psyduck ashore and placed it on the ground.

Xiaoxia looked at it with a complicated expression.

As a Water-type Trainer.

There's actually a Water-type Pokémon that can't swim.

If this gets out... and my three older sisters find out, they'll laugh at me for the rest of their lives.

130. You go and teach it!

Xiaoxia is struggling with the illusion that she is being mocked by her three older sisters in turn.

Xiao Zhi suddenly came over.

He looked Psyduck up and down before speaking.

"Yeah, I've been wanting to say that since last time. It really is a powerful Psyduck!"

He patted Xiaoxia on the shoulder.

"I didn't expect you to have such good taste, Xia!"

To be honest, Misty has every single Pokémon she owns.

In his eyes, they were all fine materials and beautiful jade.

Even goldfish are unmatched when it comes to blowing bubbles!

"Amazing? You mean it's amazing?"

Upon hearing this, Xia, who was concentrating on fighting the illusion, was taken aback.

For a moment, I didn't react.

"if not?"

Xiao Zhi looked very serious.

Isn't that obvious?

After receiving Xiaozhi's reply, Xiaoxia's eyes slowly brightened.

【sharp】

You have to understand, these two words have a different kind of weight when they come out of Xiao Zhi's mouth!

Although Ash's thought process is strange, the Pokémon he catches are also strange.

But you have to admit, his intuition about Pokémon is incredibly accurate!

Since Ash said this Psyduck is powerful...

Does that mean this silly duck is truly hiding its true abilities? And that it has stumbled upon a treasure?

Xiaoxia's heart skipped a beat, then started pounding faster.

She looked down at the wet Psyduck.

That appearance was unbearable to look at.

But thinking about it carefully... it was a bit silly.

But it's not without its advantages!

For example, Ash's strange succubus-like constitution seems to have no effect on Psyduck!

That's Ash Ketchum!

They won't be kidnapped, and they're quite powerful.

In this sense...

This Pokémon also unexpectedly became the subject of its own romantic dream!

No, no, it's a dream lover!

Having figured all this out, Xiaoxia looked at Psyduck again and found it more and more pleasing to the eye.

Even the three inexplicably sticking-up ahoge on its head now seemed incredibly unique to her—this wasn't just any ahoge, it was a mark of a strong person!

As for not being able to swim... so what?

You can learn to swim even if you can't!

Even if you can't learn it... that's okay!

Anyway, Xiaoxia is quite wealthy. With her three older sisters and herself, she can easily support them!

Psyduck!

Unable to contain her excitement, Xiaoxia bent down and lifted Psyduck up from under her arm.

"Lift it high," Xiaoxia announced.

"From today onwards, you are my Pokémon, Misty's Pokémon!"

"Gah?"

Psyduck held its face, tilted its head, and its three little tufts of hair trembled.

But his face still wore the same blank expression.

"Alright, alright, you guys go make lunch."

After casually dismissing Ash and Brock, Misty took Psyduck and headed towards the river.

"I'm going to give my Pokémon some extra training, hehe~"

Ash and Brock stood there, watching her head back to the riverbank.

"Xiao Zhi".

Xiao Gang was the first to look away.

He turned to look at the boy beside him, his squinting eyes full of doubt.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Teacher Gang?"

"How did you figure out that Psyduck was strong?"

Xiao Gang voiced his doubts.

Ash has been observing that Psyduck ever since he said it was very strong.

From head to toe, from front to back.

But no matter how you look at it, you can't see any sign of its power.

Not to mention its dull eyes, its physique is average, and its fur isn't particularly smooth.

This is completely contrary to the judgment criteria he learned from books.

"Pikachu?"

Pikachu looked at Ash with great curiosity.

Even someone as strong as a mouse couldn't detect the slightest aura of a powerful being in it.

"what?"

Xiao Zhi scratched his head.

Isn't it obvious?

"obvious?"
