Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"That's quite interesting."

Thinking of that scene, Xiao Gang couldn't help but nod.

Upon hearing this, Piccolo, who was running ahead, visibly stumbled.

Then, as if some earth-shattering secret had been revealed, she grabbed Pi Baobao and ran even faster, disappearing instantly into the dark fork in the road!

"Stop talking nonsense! Ash, hurry, don't let them get away!"

Despite the pain in her forehead, Xiaoxia urged anxiously.

"If you help me catch it, I'll lend you my starfish for one day! No! Three days!"

Xiao Zhi hadn't had a chance to respond yet—

A red light then spontaneously emerged from Misty's Poké Ball.

A starfish appeared before everyone, hands on its hips.

Its core gem flashed rapidly a few times.

It conveys an extremely clear message.

[Granted!]

29. What's your accent from?

"you......?!"

Xiaoxia was about to angrily rebuke the biggest mole.

But the starfish stretched out its hand.

And slow!

It understands the rules!

Having accomplished its mission, Staryu transformed into a red light and returned to its Poké Ball.

Xiao Gang: "......"

Xiaoxia: "......"

Looking at Staryu's Poké Ball, Misty's hands were trembling; she couldn't tell whether it was from anger or from the Poké Ball itself shaking.

it hurts!

My chest hurts so much! I feel like my breasts are about to grow in!

"I'll wrap your Poké Ball with duct tape as soon as I get out!" Misty threatened fiercely. "Three layers! No! Thirty layers!"

Xing was shocked!

It immediately became obedient and didn't dare to shake anymore even when the Poké Ball tried to shake it.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Xiaoxia looked at Xiaozhi.

Xiao Zhi nodded.

Since Haixingxing has said so, he has no objection.

He didn't really care whether he lent it or not.

We're brothers after all!

What's wrong with using Xiaoxia's products regularly?

With his superhuman hearing and vision, even in the dark and winding cave, Ash could clearly hear the faint footsteps of Clefairy moving in the distance.

He moved freely through the craggy passages, even having the energy to help his slightly struggling companions behind him.

"right!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Zhi turned onto a side road.

"They went to the left!"

His instructions were concise and definite.

"Wait, wait... Ash, you can see all of this clearly?!"

Xiao Gang, panting, looked at Xiao Zhi in disbelief.

The passage was extremely dark, and even with the illustrations providing illumination, it was difficult to see the path beneath one's feet.

Not to mention that Pixie has long since disappeared without a trace.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu, clinging tightly to Ash's shoulder, looked at Brock with a gaze that said, "You know who you're suspecting."

What's the big deal?

That's of course...

"Of course not."

Pikachu: "?"

Seeing that the two were not keeping up, Xiaozhi slowed down a little and sighed.

"Even I can't see everything. After all, the human body... has its limits!"

Xiao Gang finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I knew it..."

It seems that Ash still belongs to the human category.

"Oh, I see. Where can I not see it?"

"The corner."

......

Picosi, who was ahead of them, clearly knew the cave structure like the back of his hand, leading them through the maze-like passages.

Even though they have Ash Ketchum as a cheat code.

However, because we also needed to record the route we took in case we couldn't get back, we were ultimately a bit slower.

Although Ash stretched his arms and said it wasn't necessary to go to such lengths, he only needed to know which direction Cerulean City was in.

But Xiaogang and Xiaoxia, who were extremely worried, still stopped Xiaozhi.

After all, cave collapses are no joke!

Of course, it's not that I doubt Ash can get out, but that I doubt the two of them can get out as well.

It took many twists and turns.

Led by Ash, the three finally arrived at a narrow passage.

But after only a few steps, they had to stop abruptly.

The path ahead was not the one they had anticipated, but a thick rock wall that completely blocked their way.

This is a dead end!

"Lost...lost it?" Xiaoxia braced herself on her knees, panting heavily, her face filled with disappointment and resentment. "I finally found such a cute Pokémon..."

She's so cute that she's ready to abandon her honor as a Water-type Trainer!

Xiao Gang, leaning against the damp rock wall, adjusted his breathing and sighed helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do. After all, they've lived here for who knows how many years. They're much more familiar with the terrain than we are. It's normal to lose them after following them for so long."

Only Xiaozhi frowned, not immediately accepting this conclusion.

He simply stood there, his sharp gaze carefully scanning the seemingly ordinary rock face before him, his tone unusually certain.

"No!"

"The sound I heard clearly disappeared right here!"

"My brain might lie to me, but my body, forged in countless trials, will never lie!"

Xiao Zhi clenched his fist.

He has unconditional trust in his body!

"Could it be... that he went in through the wall?"

Xiaoxia did not doubt Xiaozhi.

She looked at the rock wall, walked up to it, and tapped on it.

"Knock, knock knock..."

The sound coming from the rock wall was not the dull thud that solid rock should produce, but a clear and hollow echo!

The three were stunned.

Xiao Zhi's eyes narrowed, and he gestured for Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia to step back.

"You all step back."

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang quickly distanced themselves from Xiaozhi.

"come on!"

After the two retreated to a safe distance, Ash took a deep breath and said to Pikachu.

"Watch closely, Pikachu! Observe my power output carefully; this is the key to a million-ton punch!"

He clenched his fist, pulled his arm back, and instantly coordinated and concentrated all the power in his body into one point, then threw a punch!

It slammed heavily into the center of the rock wall that made a hollow sound!

"Pickup!"

Pikachu, always eager to learn, stared wide-eyed at the spot, not blinking an eye, as if afraid of missing any detail.

"what?"

But after Ash landed his punch, he let out a soft "hmm" and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
