Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"Rika, do you want a Pokémon?" "Pikachu!"

"I found two Pokémon that surprisingly complement your perfume..."

"Stop! Ash, you don't need to say anything more."

"Huh?"

When Ash was stopped, Rika's expression didn't change at all.

She put down the flower shears and straightened the sleeves of her kimono.

He then looked at the encyclopedia carefully and calmly named two.

"Send it!"

She said that skipping work to get along with Xiaozhi was the right choice!

See, here comes the new perfume formula!

The stinky flower pricked up its ears and moved closer.

When the Queen of the Night flower heard the word "perfume," its petals trembled, and it seemed to perk up.

Putting aside other things.

If they really get a new perfume, the person who tells them will definitely get a bigger allowance!

I'll give Volcarona a Master Ball gift later.

Doesn't that mean you can sunbathe whenever you want?!

Seeing Rika's reaction, not only Pikachu, but even Ash was stunned for a moment.

So decisive?

"Aren't you even going to ask what kind of Pokémon it is?"

Pikachu nodded in agreement.

Yeah, yeah, at least ask what it is!

"I see." Rika readily agreed. "What Pokémon is it?"

"Stinky Mud and Dust Mountain".

The voice just fell.

The petals of the night-blooming cereus suddenly contracted, and the entire flower tilted backward.

The stinky flower stared wide-eyed, its leaves swaying wildly.

Stinky Mud.

Dust Mountain.

Just by pronouncing these two names, one can almost smell that... profound aroma!

This is definitely someone who can rival me!

"I see..."

Upon hearing these two names, Lijia frowned.

Ash thought to himself, "Just as I thought. I still need to persuade him." He was about to speak again—

Over there, Lijia bombarded her with a barrage of questions.

"Send both of them!"

"When will it be shipped? How many? Today or tomorrow? Can we expedite it? Do you need me to send someone to pick it up?"

Things were going unexpectedly smoothly, Xiao Zhi added.

"Well, I just have a feeling, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a perfect match."

Upon hearing this, Lijia's expression turned serious.

"Xiao Zhi".

Her gaze, seen through the screen, carried a trust that was impossible to refuse.

"I believe you."

"If you say it's okay, then it's okay!"

Rika had complete faith in Ash's sense of smell.

If not.

That must mean there's something wrong with her own mixing method.

You should look for the reasons within yourself!

After the discussion, Lijia took half of the share.

He then said he would send someone to collect it the next day, ensuring that they would have enough to eat and drink.

He refused Lijia's repeated offers of help.

After hanging up, Xiao Zhi quickly dialed another number.

This time, Professor Oak's familiar face appeared on the screen.

He was sitting in a chair at the research institute, reading a report in his hand, his brow furrowed so deeply it could crush a mosquito coil tadpole.

"Oh? It's Ash!"

Upon seeing that it was his most promising prospective researcher, Professor Oak immediately put down the report in his hand, his brows relaxed, and he greeted him with a smile.

"Why are you calling so late? Is something wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, upon hearing Xiaozhi's name, a purple figure peeked out from the side.

"Gag!"

Gengar grinned and leaned close to the screen.

Having not seen it for a long time, it immediately opened its palms and covered its eyes, striking a pose of a powerful being.

He showed Xiaozhi his current state.

This demonstration made Xiao Zhi nod in approval.

"You've gotten stronger, Gengar!"

Pikachu also gave a thumbs up.

"Pikachu!"

Gengar nodded smugly and patted its chest, indicating that it was a must.

Here, you can't possibly finish all the negative emotions you experience every day!

In just these few days, it felt that it had made more progress than it had in the previous six months!

If this continues, suppressing Charizard with a single glare is simply not a dream!

"Hehehehehe—!"

"It's not just that we've become stronger."

Professor Oak said, his face full of satisfaction.

"With Gengar here, devouring negative emotions, even the research institute staff are in much better spirits now."

"Results that used to take a week can now be obtained in three or four days."

"Ash, you've really been a huge help!"

After all, negative emotions among subordinates can significantly impact work performance.

But everything changed after Gengar came along.

Whenever someone loses their temper, Gengar is always the first to rush to the battlefield and have a good meal.

The person whose emotions have been absorbed will also enter a state similar to the post-coital period.

Not only did I complete a related paper, but I also greatly improved my research efficiency!

If they weren't Ghost-type Pokémon, not every one of them would be like Gengar, just a little chuunibyou and not causing trouble.

He even wants to import them in bulk!

After chatting about their current situations for a while, Damu seemed to remember the important matter at hand.

"By the way, Ash, what were you going to say at the beginning?"

"Ah, Professor! I actually have a few Pokémon here that I need you to help raise for a while."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

"I'm not trying to be mean, Ash," Professor Oak said, his expression turning serious, "but you haven't been gone very long, have you?"

"Why are we getting so distant?!"

"What do you mean by helping? Why are you being so polite with me?"

His face was full of bewilderment, as if to say, "Is such a small matter worth making a phone call about?"

"Just send it over directly!"

"My research institute is huge, and with just a few Pokémon, I can send as many as I want!"

"Thank you, Doctor!"

"No need to thank me," Professor Oak waved his hand, "You can't say that anymore!"

Gengar nodded in agreement, looking like it was saying, "That's right."

He spoke again, trying to improve Ash's favorability.

Dr. Oak hung up the communication with satisfaction and picked up the report again.

After a series of actions, Kuku's favorability towards Ash increased.

Even now, when I reread this flawed report, I feel much better!
