Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"Good, there should be enough side dishes."

"Buli!"

Although I don't know what the side dish is.

But that doesn't stop Jigglypuff from thinking he's incredibly awesome.

Its henchmen behind it were also proud, each holding their heads high.

"Yo!"

"You guys are pretty fast!"

Just as he was working, Xiaozhi's voice came from the other side.

Upon hearing this, Fatty immediately piled the tree fruits in his arms on the ground, puffed out his chest, and prepared to show off his spoils.

It even had its opening remarks ready—

What tone of voice, gestures, and facial expressions should I use to appear both humble and capable?

But when it saw Ash's formation, the Pokémon froze on the spot, rubbing its eyes in disbelief.

really?

Ash carried a mountain of ingredients, piled high on top of him, with berries rolling down from the top as he walked. Pikachu trotted behind him to pick them up.

Not to mention that he was followed by other Pokémon, each carrying one in their mouth, in their arms, or on their back.

Compared to what's in front of it, it's a complete dimensional reduction attack.

"Buri?!"

"How did you get it?"

After putting the things down, Xiao Zhi scratched his head.

"I just asked them where they could find something to eat."

"The Pokémon here are really great. They not only helped me find my way, but some of them even gave me their food supplies."

Jigglypuff: "!"

Grain reserves?

You call this grain storage?!

Yours is stored grain, then what is mine?

A little dessert!

"There are some things I don't recognize, but I tasted them and they seem fine. Teacher Gang, please come and take a look!"

Xiao Gang walked over, squatted down, rummaged through the pile of colorful fruits, and then pulled out a few tubers covered in dirt from the bottom. He weighed them in his hand and nodded.

"Good, most of them work."

"This tuber is also good; it tastes great when cooked until soft and mixed with some sauce."

He paused, then picked out a few more fruits from the pile and examined them carefully.

"These may not look very appealing, but they should be quite sweet, so they'd be suitable for making jam later."

Fatty Ding listened from the side, his expression growing increasingly serious.

It silently looked at the small pile it had painstakingly carried back, then at the mountain in front of Ash, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed by its earlier smugness.

Nothing.

It comforted itself.

At least I'm not necessarily the worst.

Some people haven't come back yet!

Just then, Xia, soaking wet, returned.

Seeing that Xiaoxia's hands were empty, Fatty breathed a sigh of relief.

What's wrong with you?

"Don't even mention it."

Xiaoxia wiped the water off her face.

They started warming themselves by the fire dinosaur as they approached it.

"I figured it would be faster to travel by water, so I rode my Gyarados along the river to look for something."

"I didn't expect to find Gyarados here. You know, Gyarados have terrible tempers; they'll charge at you if you see several facing you..."

"Buli!"

Fatty patted Xiaoxia's leg, shook his little head, and looked quite sympathetic.

Did you lose?

It's okay, even in the hunting area, these Gyarados aren't easy to talk to.

Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war!

"I won?"

Gyarados is overconfident; anyone who uses it knows what I mean.

Defeating one means stepping on the right foot with the left.

As for why it was all wet, it's because Gyarados was too confident after the fight and wouldn't let her ride it anymore.

"Buli!"

Jigglypuff froze.

Even so.

You don't have anything, right? It's okay...

"I brought it back?"

Xiaoxia's words shattered Pangding's last glimmer of hope.

She gestured for everyone to look towards the water.

A group of Water-type Pokémon had piled up all over the shore.

Algae, aquatic plants, lotus roots... the variety and quantity are enormous.

Even Ash Ketchum would have to admit defeat.

Jigglypuff: "..."

It silently looked at its own pile, then at Xiaozhi's pile, and then at Xiaoxia's mountain.

The triple comparison doubles the damage.

"Wow, Xia is amazing!"

Xiao Zhi gave a thumbs up.

"That is!"

How did you do that?

Xiao Gang was somewhat incredulous.

I never imagined that Xiaoxia would be able to stand up again.

"cough!"

Xiaoxia's expression became somewhat subtle when this was mentioned.

"It's mainly thanks to the goldfish."

She pointed to Goldeen, which was surrounded by a group of Water-type Pokémon.

"Bru~"

The goldfish remained expressionless, but slowly exhaled a large bubble.

The bubbles rose slowly to the surface of the water.

It shattered, then splashed up a ring of tiny droplets of water.

But with such a simple action, the water-type Pokémon around it immediately went wild.

"It seems to be quite popular in this area of ​​water."

Xiaoxia's tone became increasingly subtle.

"I just walked across the river, and these Pokémon surrounded me on their own. I thought they were looking for trouble, but then—"

She paused, as if recalling some unbelievable scene.

"The goldfish just blew a few bubbles, and then they started frantically bringing things to me... I couldn't stop them."

Ash looked at Goldeen and then nodded.

"It's a goldfish, then that's not surprising."

Xiaoxia was taken aback: "What?"

Didn't I tell you this before?

Xiao Zhi looked very serious.

"The bubbles blown by the goldfish are so big and round! They've reached the pinnacle!"

"Look at its smoothness, its luster, and how long it stays there!"

"This is what we call art!"

"Pikachu! Pikachu!"

Pikachu gestured in agreement, drawing a large circle with its little paw.

Xiaoxia: "?"

Xiao Zhi did say that to her.
