Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

She had long wanted to change the prevailing attitude in the Kanto region that "trainers rely on intuition to make a living"!

"...just a necessary investment."

"I think Ash is quite smart, and his Pikachu has great potential, but he's gone astray. I have to help him get back on track. I can't let him continue down the same path of reckless, impulsive behavior as Bruno and Lance..."

"Oh, right, when I take it out, don't forget to add some special effects, make it look like a peerless martial arts manual has been unleashed..."

The spiny clam rolled its eyes.

You're really using it like a graphics card!

Just as Kona was about to continue explaining the details, a commotion suddenly arose from the direction of the stadium exit.

Pikachu!

"You're walking too fast! Wait for me, Ash!"

Three people and an electric mouse emerged from the passage, bathed in sunlight, and walked along the stone path.

As the main character appeared, Kona quickly turned her gaze to the distance.

Pretend to be a skilled trainer who happens to be passing by and is admiring the scenery of the square.

There are still ten steps to go.

Kona took a deep breath, slightly raised her chin, and adjusted her expert-like aura to its maximum.

She subtly tapped her finger.

The icy luster on the spiny clam's body suddenly faded.

As the optical camouflage dissipated, Kona's figure emerged like a slowly developing watercolor painting, from transparent to translucent and then to clear, appearing in the shadows of the trees.

"Um?"

Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi noticed this place at the same time.

Noticing the dense moisture, Xiaoxia glanced over, but that one glance was enough to shock her.

As a trainer aspiring to become a Water-type Pokémon Master, how could she not recognize who this person was?

One of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, a master of Ice-type moves, and also a top-notch Water-type tactical theorist!

"Kobe, Kobe, the King of Pop?! Alive?"

"Is...is that really me? Am I...am I dreaming?!"

Upon hearing this, Pikachu immediately launched a 10-volt attack at Misty.

"it hurts!"

"It really isn't a dream! It really is him!?"

Ash, who was standing nearby, also exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow~ So strong!"

Kona's lips curled up slightly.

That's right, that's the reaction!

Kona turned gracefully, about to receive the compliment.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow darting past her, creating a gust of wind that ruffled her carefully styled hair.

Ash rushed over and squatted down directly in front of Cloyster.

"Such a powerful aura!"

I didn't even notice you just now!

The boy's eyes sparkled like stars, and he almost lay down on the ground to examine the ice crystals on the shell of the spiny clam.

"What is this, ice crystals?"

"Using light refraction to conceal one's form?! Wow—such incredible control, such incredible computing power! How many sets of reflection angles must that be calculated?!"

The clam blinked its two eyes in confusion, still not understanding what was happening.

Just a moment ago, I was cooperating with Kona to play the role of a "passerby who just happened to be passing by," so how did I suddenly find myself blocked in front of this person and attacked like crazy?

To be fair, this person does have a really nice way of speaking.

"The density of this ice crystal arrangement..."

"The angle of each piece is different. Is it dynamically adjusted in real time? That's amazing! Could you teach me how to do it?"

The shell of the spiny oyster has a thin, visible pinkish hue on its surface.

"Smack...smack..."

Its two shells opened and closed slightly, emitting a sound that was clearly joyful.

The confusion in those small eyes was gradually replaced by smugness.

Hey, this kid has good taste!

She speaks much better than her trainer who treats it like a graphics card all the time!

Xiao Zhi was still rambling on and on.

"If combined with skills, is it possible to launch attacks that are invisible—"

This sentence is like a feather tickling the most comfortable spot on a spiny oyster.

You understand me!

He understands me!

The number of tiny ice crystals overflowing from the crevices of the spiny shell has visibly increased.

Since you've already brought it up this far, what else is there to say!

I'm just teaching you!

It simply rolled up the book "Scientific Pokémon Battle Theory (Revised Edition)" from Lorelei's pocket and stuffed it into Ash's hand.

It's all here! Just look at it!

If you don't know how, ask me! I'll teach you!

Ash looked down at the thick notebook in his hand, then looked up at Cloyster with a look of delight.

"Oh? Is that so? I'm so sorry... This book must have taken a long time to write. I'll return it to you after I take the photos!"

What do you mean "return"? Just take it!

The spiky shell made another cracking sound.

A young man as intelligent as you is a rare find... a rare find indeed!

Kona: "..."

She stood there, her mind completely blank.

No.

You gave me... so what am I supposed to give you?!

246. As expected of a Heavenly King! He easily detected things that ordinary people couldn't!

Xiao Zhi squatted on the ground and flipped through two more pages of his notes.

The more I looked at it, the more I realized how wonderful the thing in my hand truly was.

Hey!

These formulas are so dense!

This is an incredibly detailed diagram!

There's also the rigor that shines through between the lines, with each conclusion supported by at least three sets of experimental data!

"Hardcore!"

"This is so hardcore!"

"Pikachu! This is what we trainers should have learned since we were kids! This is what scientific battles are all about!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu also craned its neck to get closer, its paws resting on the edge of the page, as if afraid of missing a single symbol.

Even though I can't understand most of it... it doesn't matter!

Pikachu, having long ago grasped the true meaning of life as a mouse, has already mastered it in its long existence.

Choice is more important than effort!

As long as your own external brain can understand it, that's enough.

The mouse is already lying down, ready to be carried away by the little smart beast!

"Pikachu, look here!" Ash pointed to a section of the paper, "This theory of electromagnetic fields is surprisingly suitable for you!"

"Pikachu!"

"Oh, I don't quite understand. That's okay, I'll simplify it and teach you later."

A person, a clam, and a mouse, like three heads closely packed together on an exoskeleton tree.

The three heads were huddled together, creating a lively atmosphere.

As Ash was flipping through the pages, engrossed in the ocean of knowledge with Pikachu, he keenly noticed a gaze.

There was a mixture of bewilderment, relief, and a complex mix of emotions in his eyes.

Follow the line of sight.

Kona was standing to the side, her beautiful eyes behind her glasses staring intently at the notebook and the spiky shell in her hand.

That's right!

Ash was so excited that he remembered Cloyster and his trainer.

"that……"
