Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Have you ever thought about this question?

"What's the problem?"

Xiaoxia took a deep breath, her expression extremely serious.

"Thirty Tauros! How are you going to raise them?!"

These words were spoken.

Pikachu, who was happily fetching the ball, suddenly stopped, twitched its little ears, and turned to look at its partner.

The mouse was so busy having fun that it hadn't thought about this yet.

This shouldn't affect the hamster's diet and daily medication consumption, right?

Upon hearing this, even Xiao Gang, the captain of the logistics brigade, joined the group chat.

"Indeed, the placement of Pokémon is a big problem."

He subconsciously began to calculate, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"Thirty Tauros, putting everything else aside, just their daily food intake alone is..."

You should know that even if you add up all the Pokémon that Ash and his two friends had before, they still couldn't have thirty.

If the numbers pile up, even raising thirty tree-pillow koalas would be a huge headache.

Not to mention the Tauros, who runs wildly every day.

"If you encounter any difficulties, my family can still offer some assistance."

Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up.

Although Tauros and the Cerulean Gym's aquarium style are completely incompatible, she believes her three older sisters will always find a way—

For example, they could organize a "special water version of bullfighting performance," and with their cleverness, they might unexpectedly make a fortune.

"There's no need to go to such lengths."

Xiao Zhi blinked.

Without the slightest hesitation, he spoke quite naturally.

"Can't I just send it directly to the professor?"

"The institute's backyard is huge. As the professor mentioned before, Pokémon research needs a large number of observation samples."

"When I sent him Mud and Dust Mountain last time, he specifically told me not to be polite and to just send whatever I had."

He counted on his fingers, getting more and more excited as he spoke.

"Besides, Tauros is a social Pokémon, so it's naturally suitable to raise a large group of them together."

"The lawn over there is so spacious, it's perfect for them to run around freely. Besides, Oak's Lab is a proper research institution with professional breeding equipment and programs, which is much better than me taking them around everywhere."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia nodded.

Xiao Zhi's usual demeanor always makes people subconsciously overlook the terrifying extent of his connections.

But it seems that's indeed the case.

Professor Oak's research institute backyard is indeed ridiculously large.

It can hold not just thirty Tauros, but three hundred.

"Besides," Ash added, "even if the professor can't support me, my family still has some money."

"A little...money?"

Xia, the richest woman in Hualan City, looked suspicious.

"Hmm, raising thirty Tauros is still feasible."

Xiao Zhi nodded, his face full of sincerity.

To be fair, her mother's restaurant wasn't opened for nothing.

Otherwise, how could they support themselves?

Using your own dragon power can be very expensive!

Xiaoxia wanted to ask more questions, but looking at Xiaozhi's matter-of-fact face, she suddenly felt that there was no point in dwelling on it any longer.

Forget it.

She shook her head, about to say something to change the subject—

"Dinner's ready!"

Xiao Gang's voice came from the side of the pot, carrying a perfectly timed announcement, as if he had timed it perfectly, precisely cutting off the conversation.

The Pokémon, recovering from its shock, suddenly felt hungry.

They started to swarm towards Xiaogang.

Seeing this, the fair and impartial seed captain immediately got to work.

Under the warning of its thick, strong, and long vine whip.

The Pokémon lined up obediently, each holding a bowl made from leaves, their eyes fixed longingly on the pot.

Xiao Gang casually lifted the pot lid.

A plume of white steam rose into the sky, and the aroma exploded on the spot, enveloping the entire open space.

The Pokémon in line all gasped in surprise, and several unconsciously leaned forward, only to be stopped by Bulbasaur's Vine Whip.

The soup is milky white.

It was perfectly thick, with thinly sliced ​​tree fruits and unidentified wild vegetables floating on top.

It takes the best from Xiaoxia and discards the worst, and the color scheme is pleasing to the eye.

There were also several small dishes on the side, made with ingredients sourced locally in the hunting area. Although simple, each dish showed that a lot of thought had been put into it.

Xiao Gang held the soup spoon.

They methodically served food to each Pokémon.

"Don't rush, don't panic, everyone has some."

Fatty rubbed his belly and sniffed the aroma in the air before finally making up his mind.

With her round belly sticking out, she confidently joined the queue.

It's just a bowl of soup!

It, having thoroughly grasped the essence of the 'The Dark Raven Drinks' story, knew very well.

My stomach may appear full, but there are still some tiny gaps that can be explored and utilized.

Using soup to smooth out the cracks... well, with a little effort, that's something you can do!

Brock worked quickly, and with the help of the other two, in no time all the Pokémon were served up in his creations.

For a moment, only the sounds of slurping soup and occasional satisfied sighs could be heard in the open space.

Even the seed captain was rewarded with a deluxe bowl of mixed stew by Ash and Brock for his merit in maintaining order.

Just as all the Pokémon were happily drinking their soup.

A small figure suddenly stood up.

"Eek!"

With a determined look in his eyes, the little bear hugged the bowl and, with his short legs, trotted over to Xiao Zhi.

Then, he casually lifted the bowl upwards, performing a standard bear-presenting-treasure gesture.

That posture, that attitude, that devout expression.

It was as if they were paying homage to a grandmaster of martial arts.

Ash was still in a daze, but Pikachu reacted quickly and took the bowl from him.

Seeing the "Chief Mouse Disciple" under the Grandmaster take the bowl, the little bear was so excited that he trembled all over.

"Ee-my! Ee-my! Ee-my!"

Its little arms gestured in the air, sometimes mimicking the action of throwing a ball, and sometimes striking some strange poses.

He kept muttering to himself.

"Well......"

Sensing the opponent's strength, Xiaoxia pondered for a moment, then slapped her thigh.

"It wants to become your apprentice, Ash!"

"Eek!"

The little bear nodded vigorously.

The little head nods like a pecking rice.

Xiao Gang was so startled that he almost dropped the soup spoon into the pot.

You're so quiet.

How come everyone can connect to the network like Xiao Zhi?

Evolution didn't include me?

"So, why do you want to become my disciple?"

Xiao Zhi looked at the little guy with some curiosity.

Even if he wants to become stronger, he should learn from Pokémon, since he still has weaknesses in ranged battles.

The baby bear puffed out its chest and its expression became extremely serious.

It looked at Ash with a determined gaze.

"Eek!"

Only in this way can it evolve!

Xiao Zhi scratched his head, his confusion deepening.
