Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"They still have such a good relationship."

He exclaimed sincerely.

"Pikachu." Pikachu perched on his shoulder, nodded, and looked as calm as ever.

Xiaoxia: "?"

Xiao Gang: "?"

You call this...having a good relationship?!

195. What? Ash is back!?

Despite saying that, seeing the two's 'enthusiastic exchange', Ash still took action.

There is no other reason.

After all, this isn't the wilderness, but Professor Oak's research lab.

Even if someone gets hurt, or even if something gets damaged, it will still cause trouble for the doctor.

Xiao Zhi strode forward.

With one in each hand, they forcefully stopped the dragon and the demon, who were on the verge of exchanging blows.

"Alright, alright, I know you're all excited, but you can find another opportunity to talk later."

"Gag?"

"Roar?"

Charizard and Gengar both looked at Ash, each with a hint of reluctance in their expressions.

They haven't decided a winner yet!

"Exchanging ideas in Professor Oak's lab... the professor might not be happy about that."

Xiao Zhi offered an explanation.

"Pikachu, Pikachu."

Pikachu perched on Ash's shoulder and nodded seriously.

That’s right.

And it's not just PhDs...

Even the seed captain gets unhappy!

Pikachu added two more sounds, and even gestured with its lip towards a slightly wobbly Poké Ball on Ash's waist.

Upon hearing this...

Charizard and Gengar both froze, following Pikachu's gaze to look at the Poké Ball.

"Gag~"

Gengar was the first to recall the Shadow Ball that it had secretly conjured up behind its back, intending to launch a sneak attack through the Spirit Realm.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he drifted to the side and began to pretend to admire the chandelier on the ceiling.

The fire-breathing dragon also silently folded its wings.

The dragon claw, which had been secretly gathering power behind its back, was preparing to launch a sneak attack on Gengar.

Even the flames on its tail shrank a bit.

It exhaled a puff of white smoke from its nose, turned its head to look out the window, as if to say, "The weather is nice today."

It's not that the two of them were afraid of Bulbasaur.

In terms of pure strength, if they were to actually fight, neither of them should be afraid of the other.

But now, Bulbasaur's aura and every move it makes...

He has a certain amount of authority within Ash's team.

As the boss frogs, a flick of their vine whips is enough to put them under pressure.

I instinctively shuddered; I dared not offend it at all.

Seeing that the two sides had stopped fighting, Ash nodded in satisfaction.

The Poké Ball at his waist swayed contentedly.

"By the way, Gengar," Ash said to Gengar, who was striking a pose nearby, "do you know where the professor is right now?"

"Gag!"

With Ash's words, Gengar's eyes lit up, and it immediately jumped on the bandwagon—no, it jumped off the donkey.

It floated over lightly, excitedly leading the way, and even turned back to wink at Ash.

If you ask someone else, Gengar might not know, but Professor Oak?

It knows!

These are the best ingredients I have here, bar none!

Just smelling that aroma, which has been accumulating for who knows how many years and is full of resentment, is enough to make you eat two bowls of rice!

Throughout the entire research institute, Professor Oak's negative emotions are the most mellow and authentic, making him a treasured "seasoning"!

Seeing Gengar take a step back first, Charizard also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite their fierce confrontation and sparks flying, the pressure on them was actually immense.

After all, he had already gained the upper hand by concealing his aura and launching a surprise attack.

If they still couldn't succeed, it means the guy on the other side has improved quite a bit recently.

It doesn't matter.

They also have their own trump cards.

And—they have a long life ahead of them!

......

Walking from the lobby on the first floor of the research institute, there is a long corridor.

The corridor is lined with various laboratories and cultivation rooms.

The corridor is lined with various laboratories and breeding rooms. Through the glass windows, you can see many researchers with messy hair, and Pokémon with shiny fur and full of energy next to them.

Some researchers were staring at microscopes, while others were hunched over data screens, frantically typing on keyboards.

The air was filled with a sweet coffee scent that Xiao Zhi found incredibly appealing, combined with the academic atmosphere of staying up all night.

"Who are you, and how did you get in... Satoshi?!"

A researcher who was about to take a break while the team leader was away was the first to spot the three people walking down the corridor.

He rubbed his eyes, about to question the boy in the red and white hat at the front, when his gaze fell on him. He almost dropped his mug, the coffee rippled, and he instantly became more awake—more so than if he had drunk two cups of espresso.

"What! Ash? Where is he?"

"It's Ash Ketchum back!"

"What?! Ash Ketchum, one of the two great scroll kings?!"

A commotion broke out in the lab as several researchers poked their heads out.

His eyes held both surprise and a subtle sense of awe.

After all, the King of Rolls isn't scary.

What's truly frightening is someone who not only has talent but also the ability to stay awake for days and nights and still act as if nothing happened!

And that's exactly the kind of person Xiaozhi is!

They weren't even aware of it.

Although I heard that Ash and Gary, the two big bosses, both became trainers after Professor Oak's heartbreaking plight.

But the King of Scrolls is the King of Scrolls.

Although the person has been gone for some time, their influence still lingers. Just standing in the corridor makes one involuntarily recall those days and nights when they were under someone else's control.

"Hey, long time no see."

Xiao Zhi smiled and waved.

"S-Satoshi...what brings you back this time?"

"I've come to see Professor Oak."

"Oh, that's good." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "No, I meant the Doctor is in the backyard..."

Thank you.

Xiao Zhi was about to leave.

Gengar suddenly floated in front of the researchers and beckoned with a smile.

The researchers paused for a moment, then sighed in unison.

"You eat it."

They waved their hands resignedly.

"Gag~"
