Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

A multicolored big-billed finches?

Its eyelid twitched.

Young man, are you trying to fool this old man?

It has lived most of its life, what kind of big-billed bird hasn't it seen?

These seeds are clearly the feathers of the Phoenix King!

Venusaur examined the feather closely, becoming more and more certain with each look.

There's no doubt that this is Phoenix King's Feather!

The legendary proof of the "Rainbow Warrior"!

Ash noticed that Venusaur was staring at the feathers and assumed it liked them, so he generously offered it the most complete one.

"Senior, if you like it, then I'll give you one."

"Anyway, I don't need three by myself, keeping one as a souvenir is enough."

Three?

How come you have three?

Venusaur was deeply confused.

Ho-Oh, as it gets older, doesn't it often worry about losing its fur?

Normally, if I lose even one, I feel uncomfortable for a long time.

How could they be so generous this time, giving away three at once?

Seeing Ash's amazing talent, has he changed his personality?

178. Crimson Lotus Dojo!

Despite Ash's enthusiastic invitation, Venusaur, looking completely bewildered, accepted the Rainbow Wing.

So, at this age when it is striving for success...

He also became the latest generation of the "Rainbow Hero".

After saying goodbye to Venusaur, the three of them rushed back to the camp to retrieve their belongings.

Under the watchful eye of the starfish, apart from Xia's kitchenware being unexpectedly stolen, nothing else was missing.

We briefly discussed why the Circular Bear would be interested in this thing, and whether it also needs to cook.

Thanks to Ash's night vision, the three of them traveled through the night.

They walked until midnight before finally reaching the nearest port.

"Finally... we've finally arrived."

Xiaoxia braced herself on her knees, bent over, and gasped for breath. Strands of her hair were stuck together with sweat.

Xiao Gang's condition isn't much better.

The unexpected situation that morning, coupled with the heavy load, took a toll on his body.

"I already told you, I would have led you there."

Why do you insist on walking yourself?

Seeing the two of them panting heavily, Xiao Zhi scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"No! I can't take it!"

Xiaoxia's face turned pale, and she quickly waved her hand.

The thought of how Xiaozhi had picked her up without warning this morning and run around like a sack of potatoes made her stomach churn.

"Xiao Zhi, you're too fast! Our bodies can't keep up."

Xiao Gang said the same thing.

Upon hearing this, Pikachu, perched on Ash's shoulder, tilted its head, a hint of confusion flashing in its eyes.

"Pikachu?"

Fast?

But the mouse's ride can have gears, right?

The top speed is a numerical value.

As the mouse's top-of-the-line ride, adjusting the speed isn't a difficult task.

“Pikachu is right.”

Xiao Zhi nodded.

"Just tell me, and I'll slow down!"

Xiaoxia: "......"

Xiao Gang: "......"

That seems to make sense?

Pikachu gave the two of them a disdainful look.

I never would have guessed that.

It seems that becoming a Pokémon trainer is now a matter of great urgency!

......

The three entered the harbor, which was not large, but it was brightly lit.

Several ships were quietly moored on the dock, their mast lights casting shimmering gold reflections on the water.

On the pier, a white cruise ship stood out in the distance.

Its hull has a streamlined shape.

The deck lights are layered, shining from the lower deck all the way to the panoramic skylight at the top.

"oh--!"

Xiao Zhi exclaimed in surprise.

"That must be the cruise ship Bulbasaur was talking about, the one at home?"

"It should be."

Xiaoxia nodded, her expression serious.

In this light, it seems that this Bulbasaur is just as wealthy as I am.

Aside from Zheng Hui, Xiao Xia has finally met her match!

The three people and the mouse walked along the pier towards the boarding gate.

Before they even got close, a staff member in uniform immediately perked up.

He had been waiting here since six o'clock, and sized up the three of them.

A person and a mouse, plus two pendants, one black and one white.

Yes, that's right.

It seems the leader was referring to them!

Once their identities were confirmed, he immediately went to greet them, smiling broadly as he led them towards the exclusive first-class passage.

"Distinguished guests, please come this way."

I showed my ticket and went through the motions.

As soon as the three stepped onto the deck, they heard the low rumble of machinery turning behind them. The boarding gate slowly retracted and separated from the ship's side.

Xiao Gang looked back and sighed.

"Looks like we arrived just in time, before the deadline."

"If it had been any later, we probably would have had to wait for the next one."

Upon hearing this, the staff member walking in front turned slightly to the side, his smile unchanged.

“This distinguished guest is joking.”

"There is no deadline—the ship will not set sail as long as the three of you do not board."

After all, I heard this was an arrangement from the top.

Even the trainer from the previous chairman's company showed up.

They said they had to ensure the schedules of these three people were guaranteed no matter what, so who would dare to set sail first?

Xiao Gang paused in his steps.

He even thought he had misheard.

what?

Is the ship waiting for someone? Or is it that the person is waiting for the ship?

The cruise ship was anchored in the harbor, all its lights on, with the crew and staff all on standby, just to wait for the three of them—because they hadn't arrived yet?

This, this, this!

Is this the world of the rich frog?!

......

First class is on the top deck of the cruise ship, and the corridors are covered with thick carpets, so that you don't make a sound when you step on them.

The staff member swiped the room card to open the door and then respectfully stepped aside.

The door opened.

Pikachu went in first, jumped onto the bed, and left a few small footprints on the blanket.

Then, satisfied, he rolled around and wrapped himself in the blanket into a fluffy ball.
