And looking in this direction... what if they're heading to the Pokémon Center?

Composing himself, Duo Wu cleared his throat.

He immediately hurried after them.

"Ahem! It's nothing really, actually. Judging from the looks of it... are you guys heading to the Pokémon Center?"

"correct."

Xiao Zhi was somewhat disappointed.

Judging from what they did just now, I thought we were going to have an offline sparring match.

He patted the Poké Ball as he walked.

"The giant crab is quite badly injured. We need to check it over carefully. The teacher just said there might be some toxin residue."

Upon hearing this, Duowu found Xiaozhi even more agreeable.

"What a coincidence!"

"My Pokémon needs to go to the Pokémon Center to recover too! We're going the same way, let's go together!"

He strode up to stand beside Xiaozhi, patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder, and showed the warmth characteristic of an older brother from Kanto.

"Hey kid, you finally remembered me now, huh!"

"When you eliminated me last time, I was already thinking that the next time we met I absolutely had to..."

Xiao Zhi was taken aback by what he said.

"Brother, but I really didn't recognize you before!"

Huh—?! ↑

The smile that had just appeared on Duowu's face froze.

You're not going to give me face, are you?

It was about to erupt.

"After all, your strength speaks for itself, brother."

Xiao Zhi added a sentence as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"If I had seen him before, there's no way I wouldn't remember him."

Hmm—↓

Upon hearing this, Duowu felt a sense of comfort flowing from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

Check it out!

Check it out!

This young man just loves to speak the truth!

Duo Wu couldn't suppress the grin from his mouth; it almost stretched to his ears.

He coughed twice forcefully, forcing a serious expression.

"Ahem! Think about it carefully, it was the Quartz Conference five years ago."

"Back then, you were with your Pikachu, and with a quick lightning strike followed by a Thunderbolt, you sent me flying..."

He glanced at Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

"Oh right, your Pikachu's head wasn't this pointed back then."

Pikachu: "?"

It pricked up one ear, touched the top of its head with its little paw, then tilted its head to look at Duowu, its face full of a confused expression as if to say, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Isn't this normal for the top of the mouse's head?

"five years ago?"

Xiao Zhi was taken aback.

"Back then, I was still doing ecological observation notes at Professor Oak's lab, and I hadn't even met Pikachu yet. Dude, you've really mistaken me for someone else..."

"Can't you?"

Duowu stared wide-eyed and looked Xiaozhi up and down three times.

"But you all look alike, and your hats are the same too..."

He was halfway through his sentence when Xiaoxia, who was next to him, suddenly exclaimed "Ah!"

Xiao Gang also realized something.

"Speaking of which, we also encountered someone who looked a lot like Ash a while ago, and we even mistook him for someone else..."

"Uh-huh!"

Xiaoxia nodded.

"They even have a Pikachu!"

But after hearing what Dou said, now that I think about it... that Pikachu did indeed not have the pointed head of Ash's Pikachu?

Duo Wu became more and more confused as he listened.

"So there really are two?"

"So the guy I lost to back then was really named Hiro...?"

As they spoke, the group walked briskly and had already turned the corner.

The transparent glass door of the Pokémon Center is just a dozen steps away.

The glass door slid open automatically as soon as the group approached.

A figure strode out from inside, walking briskly while humming an unknown tune.

Look around.

Short black hair, a red and white hat, and brown eyes.

He had a sunny smile on his face that was also a little silly.

Let's not even talk about looks.

The curve of his mouth, the angle of his head tilt, and even the habit of unconsciously touching the brim of his hat with his right hand when walking are exactly the same as Xiao Zhi's!

Duowu: "?!"

He abruptly stopped, his gaze swinging back and forth between the real Ash and that other person three times.

Finally, the image focused on the brim of the man's hat, his pupils dilating a full circle.

"There really is one?!"

The man looked up.

Upon seeing the official Ash, his eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed over like Brock seeing an older sister.

Lillie, who was closest to Ash, reacted instinctively.

He simply raised his hand.

But before he could make a move, Pikachu intercepted him halfway, blocking him by an arm's length.

"How many times have I told you, don't run around like that!"

A slightly helpless female voice came from the Pokémon Center.

"You're going to cause trouble for others like this... huh?"

Duowu's gaze unconsciously turned towards the source of the sound, and he turned his neck slightly.

A mature woman walked out of the door.

Her light blue twin ponytails swayed gently behind her shoulders. She wore a white shirt and khaki trousers with the cuffs rolled up to her forearms, exuding a capable yet gentle aura.

According to the cosmic truth that the greater the mass, the greater the gravity.

Duowu's gaze was captured by the irresistible laws of physics, fixing on the chest of the newcomer.

Finally, his pupils contracted sharply.

It matches up! Now everything matches up!

He would never mistake those two murder weapons!

This was the same woman who was with [Ah Hong] last time!

I went up to talk to them, but they didn't even lift an eyelid!

Looking at those two murder weapons again, Duo Wu felt a surge of grief and anger.

Five years!

Do you know how I've spent the last five years?

We dared not relax for even a moment!

One person gets up before dawn every day to train Pokémon and battles all the gyms, big and small, in the Kanto region!

And what about you?

To think I have companions of this caliber!?

Why!

Why do you get to eat so well?!

At this moment, fate has brought us together again, and both old and new grudges surge into our hearts.

Du Wu's blood boiled, and he rolled up his sleeves—

"Bah!"

"Ah Hong, take this!"

Duowu swung his fist and charged towards [Ahong].

Take it!
