Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Xiao Zhi stood steadily on the steps in front of the door, his feet resting on the shattered and rapidly dissipating fragments of the barrier, his expression unchanged.

"See? They're in now."

open the door.

Suddenly, a Pokémon standing upright, resembling a clown, stared at Ash with a shocked expression.

He then explained how his barrier had been breached.

It turns out Ash is back!

Mr. Mime stared blankly at Ash.

Then, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.

"Bari, bari—"

Mr. Mime rushed over, grabbed Ash's leg, and cried his heart out.

Add to that the infectious nature of the superpowers, and it's truly heartbreaking to smell and tear-jerking to hear.

"What...what happened?"

Xiaoxia asked quietly.

"It must have been too long since they last met. Ash and his mom's Pokémon have such a good relationship!"

Xiao Gang sighed.

Xiao Zhi scratched his head.

"Mr. Mime isn't my mom's Pokémon?"

"That's your dad's?"

"Not at all."

Ash shook his head and reached out to pat the head of the Mr. Mime that was clinging to his leg.

"It's a wild Pokémon."

"A few years ago, this guy wandered into Pallet Town from who-knows-where. He was starving and just mooched a meal at my restaurant..."

"I understand, so I stayed because the auntie's cooking was delicious."

Xiaoxia nodded and continued.

"Uh."

Ash's expression subtly changed.

"No, it tried to dine and dash, using its barrier to try and escape without paying, but my mom caught it."

"Pikachu".

Pikachu nodded.

Is such that.

Xiaoxia: "?"

Xiao Gang: "?"

Is this the right path for development?

What about the bond? What about the bond between you two?

"So, it's now... working to pay off its debts?"

Xiao Gang asked tentatively.

"Correct."

Xiao Zhi nodded.

"The Mr. Mime can do housework, guard the house, clean, do laundry, and although its cooking is so-so, it's still quite capable. My mom said it's good to have a helper."

Xiaoxia quickly did the math in her head.

It's just the cost of a meal. Even the most luxurious Pokémon meal wouldn't cost much at most, right?

"It was just a meal, and after all these years, it should be paid back by now. You must have developed feelings for each other over time, right?"

She affirmed.

As expected, a bond was eventually formed!

"Uh……"

Upon hearing this, Ash's expression became even more subtle.

"To be precise, it's not the cost of a meal..."

Xiaoxia had a bad feeling.

“My mom might have gone a bit too far; several shops next door lost a lot of things… not to mention the medical expenses and subsequent rehabilitation costs…”

"So the Mr. Mime hasn't actually finished returning the dolls yet."

194. A legendary existence!

Upon hearing this, the Mr. Mime raised its head.

He wiped away his tears haphazardly with his palm, then nodded forcefully.

"Bari!"

It showed absolutely no embarrassment.

His expression even carried a hint of... pride?

That's right!

This experience, although it sounds embarrassing.

But if you know anything about Hanako, you won't think that way.

After all, there are very few people in the entire Pallet Town who can withstand one of her attacks without ending up in the hospital!

With my experience, I can practically do whatever I want in Pallet Town!

Although they couldn't quite understand what Mr. Mime was so proud of, both Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were filled with shock.

But thinking about it carefully... it makes sense.

Hanako, after all, is Ash's mother.

Although they had never seen Aunt Hanako make a move.

However, from the occasional snippets of conversation that Ash occasionally mentioned along the way, we can piece together a part or two of his combat strength assessment.

It can only be described as unfathomable!

With Ash's wise words of comfort, Mr. Mime wiped away his tears and his emotions stabilized considerably.

After all, with Ash's arrival, the blue sky was restored.

With Ash's arrival, the house is finally at peace!

"Bari...Bari bari..."

After calming down a bit, the Mr. Mime looked miserable.

He started counting Hanako's "crimes" on his fingers in front of Ash.

At home, it's like a fiery, roaring tiger keeping it company... No, wait!

Even the strongest Blazing Roaring Tiger went much easier on Hanako than she did!

It was about to begin its detailed explanation—

A gentle voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Oh my god, is that Ash back?"

The voice was as soft as cotton after a summer afternoon sun, and as sweet as honey freshly extracted from a honeybee.

It can fall into the ear of the Mr. Mime.

It felt like a powerful and effective roar crashing down on me.

The complaints stopped abruptly.

Its body visibly stiffened.

The Mr. Mime slowly, inch by inch, turned its head to look at the doorway.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia also looked over.

A woman was standing in the open doorway.

The afternoon sun streamed in from behind her, casting a soft golden glow on her silhouette.

She was wearing a light pink dress with a white apron tied around her waist, embroidered with several cute Pikachu patterns.

Her chestnut hair was loosely pulled back and braided into a dangerous hairstyle—

A few stray hairs fell beside her ears, swaying gently with her movements.

Just by looking at her eyebrows and eyes, she bears a five-point resemblance to Xiao Zhi, but with an added touch of feminine gentleness and composure.

Her skin is also extremely well-maintained.

At this moment, her eyes were curved into two crescent moons as she looked at everyone in the living room with a beaming smile.

The visitor, needless to say, was none other than Ash Ketchum's creator—

The legendary being, Hanako!

"Hey~ Mr. Mime, what are you all talking about together?"

Upon hearing this...

The expression on the Mr. Mime quickly switched from "a complaining speaker" to "a loyal home service Pokémon".
