Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Xiao Zhi quickly closed the notebook, held it with both hands, and stood up.

"...This notebook, was it written by you, Kona? May I take a look?"

After all, not every superstar is like Brother Du.

To avoid causing trouble for the Spiny Shell, he still had to ask.

Just because you enjoy watching it doesn't mean you can take it for granted and claim someone else's hard work.

The spiny clam was only now recovering from its previous state.

broken!

After Ash praised it so much, it got so carried away that it completely forgot about cooperating with Lorelei!

The secret manual was given away just like that!

But after all, it's a seasoned veteran who's been out in the world for many years.

Now that things have come to this, it cannot show weakness in front of Ash!

After all, Lorelei, who is easy to coax, can be coaxed afterward, but the first impression she makes on Ash is only given once!

Thinking of this, the spiny clam closed its two shells and made a weak and feeble cry.

"Smack, smack!"

"I know, I know."

Ash signaled to Cloyster to calm down.

"But this notebook is too valuable, and after all, it was written by Lorelei... Won't it cause you trouble?"

"Smack!"

There's now a way out.

Both the person and the shell turned their heads at the same time, their gazes falling directly on Kona, putting pressure on her.

Kona: "......."

She stood there, completely numb.

Things have developed to this point, and you've all said so, what can she say now?

If she says no now, what does that make her in front of Ash? She's not even as good as a Pokémon?

There was a two-second silence.

Kona felt that she should minimize the losses, so she raised her hand and pushed up her glasses.

When he lowered his hand again, his face had changed to that of a hermit sage.

"It's alright, you can see for yourself."

Kona's voice sounded calm and composed, even carrying a hint of the poise and elegance of a superstar.

But only she knew how tightly she clenched her back teeth.

"After all, I wrote this for people to read—" She paused, her gaze drifting almost imperceptibly towards the Clamshell, "and, the Clamshell...it...already...said...that...right?"

Upon hearing this, Ash and Pikachu nodded in unison.

He immediately gave a thumbs up.

"As expected of the King of Kanto! His vision is truly grand!" "Pikachu!"

The spiny clam, feeling guilty, smacked softly.

His tone implied, "See? I told you there wouldn't be a problem."

Feeling a bit tipsy, Kona took a deep breath.

She wasn't angry.

She wasn't angry.

She's not at all... never mind, she's furious!

Spiny shell... wait until no one's around! Let's have a proper talk!

Just as I was thinking this, a figure suddenly darted over from the side.

"Kobe, Kobe won the championship!"

Slightly shocked that Ash dared to steal even the Elite Four's Pokémon, Misty finally seized the opportunity and rushed over.

She took a notebook and a pen from Lillie.

He presented it to Kona with both hands.

"Excuse me, could you please sign your name for me?"

"I've always been your idol! No, no, I mean you've always admired me!"

"No, that's not right—!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Xiaoxia wished she could bite off her own tongue.

Speak slowly, speak slowly.

Not being a local, she wasn't really aware of the significance of being a "Heavenly King," but she just thought this "Heavenly King" was incredibly prestigious. Lillie quietly comforted Xia.

"Take a deep breath and don't be nervous."

Xiaoxia closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled sharply.

When she opened her eyes again, it was as if she had been completely reloaded.

He simply and decisively handed the notebook to Ke Na.

"Anyway! Please!"

Kona smiled knowingly.

have a look!have a look!

This is how a normal person would react when they see her!

The situation, which had been disrupted by Ash and Cloyster, was finally brought back under control thanks to Misty's actions.

Kona felt much more relaxed after the frustration in her heart dissipated.

"What's your name...?"

She took the notebook and pen, tilted her head, and spoke in a gentle tone, like the older sister next door.

"Xiaoxia!"

"Well."

Taking the pen and notebook, Kona wrote a blessing smoothly on the paper and signed her name.

In a great mood, she looked to the side.

After all, Ash, your friends have said so, so you should at least do something in return, right?

From this perspective, aside from the fact that the secret manual was given out beforehand, the script didn't actually deviate too much from the original plan...

Ash had already crouched down again, huddled together with Pikachu and Cloyster.

They sat close together, whispering amongst themselves about the application of electromagnetism in combat.

They paid no attention to this side at all.

"I understand the formula here, but how do you quickly switch between them in actual combat?"

"There's no time to recalculate during a battle, is there?"

"Smack! Smack!"

"Relying on skill and intuition? That intuition is incredibly difficult to achieve..."

"Pickup!"

"Smack!"

"Oh? This is easy?"

"Okay! Then Pikachu and I will practice this first..."

Kona: "......."

She looked at herself, then at the spiny clam.

wrong.

That doesn't make sense.

Isn't her role reversed with that of the spiky shell?

Shouldn't she be the Elite Four member, the one who should be guiding Ash?

Her spiky shell should have quietly sat to the side as a backdrop.

Occasionally releasing a few ice crystals to create an aura of expertise, and then slapping it to indicate approval after she makes a sharp comment—that was the original plan!

And now?

While the spiny clam was lecturing at the front, she was in the back signing autographs for the little girl.

Kona slowly raised her hand and touched her forehead.

the first time.

For the first time in all her years, she began to doubt her own charm.

Unexpectedly, her biggest enemy wasn't her three colleagues, but her own Pokémon!

She was wise throughout her life.

In the end, he was outdone by his own Pokémon!

He was even impressed by the secret manual that he pulled out of his own pocket!

Kona took a deep breath and told herself to be magnanimous.

After handing the signed notebook back to Xiaoxia, she lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she looked up again, a gentle smile was on her face. She thought that at least she could join in the conversation between the two of them.
