Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

The crisp and decisive rejection instantly tightened the already slightly relaxed atmosphere once again!

Pipi and Pixi immediately became wary and took a step forward.

We have no choice but to go for it!

The lead dog, Picoxi, also showed obvious disappointment in its eyes.

I used to think this human was agreeable, someone I could communicate with...

Seeing the Pokémon gathering again, Brock quickly lowered his voice and advised them.

"Wait, Ash! I know you're strong, but this is something we can discuss..."

“Yeah, that’s right,” Xiaoxia tugged at his sleeve and whispered, “They’re working so hard, it’s really pitiful.”

She could already picture Clefairy and Clefairy working overtime with even darker dark circles under their eyes after being hit hard by Ash's punch...

That's too tragic.

The two had already concluded that Pipi and Pikexi were doomed to lose this battle.

I have never doubted Ash's fighting ability.

Xiao Zhi also looked quite troubled.

He shrugged and explained.

"Actually, I wanted to agree, but I really couldn't keep it a secret... because I've already sent the photos out."

Xiaoxia: "?"

Xiao Gang: "?"

"Wait, when did you take the picture?!"

Xiaoxia then realized what was happening.

"Right when I first saw the spaceship."

Ash looked completely at ease, picked up his Pokédex, and showed Brock and Misty the clear picture of the spaceship on the screen.

"By the way, do you want the photos? I'll send them to you."

He scratched the back of his head, looked at Piccolo, and said a little embarrassedly.

"I didn't know at the time that it couldn't be shared."

"I felt that something so fun should be shared with Professor Oak as soon as possible, so I sent it to him."

Picoxi: "?!"

withdraw!

You need to back out now!

Its little hand anxiously tapped the retract icon.

I saw that the photo was withdrawn.

Picosi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's no use withdrawing it now; it's already shown as read on the other end."

Xiao Zhi answered honestly.

Damn human technology!

Picoxi looked utterly devastated.

"No," Xiaoxia whispered to Xiaozhi, "why don't you just keep quiet!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi's face instantly turned serious, and he said in a stern voice.

"How can that be?! Wouldn't that make me a liar?!"

"It is or it isn't!"

"I, Ash, live by the principles of integrity! I would never lie to a Pokémon!"

These resounding words sent a chill down the spine of the leader, Piccolo.

"!"

This human!

So particular!

Upon seeing such honest humans, Pipi and Pico immediately huddled together and began whispering among themselves.

The atmosphere seemed to have subtly shifted again.

"Pish~"

Pixi, who was in charge, pondered for a moment.

Why don't you ask the person who received the photo if it would be convenient for them to come to Mount Tsukimi?

"Wait a minute! Let me ask you."

Ash, with his exceptional initiative, immediately used his Pokédex to make a video call to Professor Oak.

The call was answered very quickly.

On the screen appeared an elderly man with gray hair, wearing a slightly wrinkled white lab coat, holding an espresso to keep himself going.

"Hey! It's Ash! I was just about to call you!" Professor Oak, with a few dark circles under his eyes, spoke loudly and excitedly, "Hey kid, you haven't sent me a message in so long, and when you finally do, you've given me a huge surprise!"

"It's no wonder I valued you the most! I knew you were the most promising kid since you were a kid!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu also came up to the camera to say hello.

"Oh, it's Pikachu. Of course, you're quite accomplished too."

"It really is Professor Oak! And he's alive!"

Xiaoxia couldn't help but exclaim in amazement upon seeing the celebrities on TV.

He immediately realized his slip of the tongue and quickly waved his hand to explain.

"I...I...I mean, the people I've seen on TV before weren't real people...No, no, no!" She stammered, her cheeks flushing. "What I mean is, I grew up watching your shows!"

"Hello, Professor Oak."

Compared to Xiaoxia's flustered state, Xiaogang appeared much calmer and greeted her politely.

Hello.

Professor Oak gave Brock a closer look, who looked somewhat familiar, and responded kindly.

They then eagerly steered the conversation back on track.

"By the way, was that photo of yours really taken at Mt. Tsukimi? And was that spaceship something the Picoshis did?"

"Of course, just look!"

Xiao Zhi switched the camera and slowly looked around at the huge metal space and the futuristic spaceship.

"This is truly a structure and material I've never seen before!"

Professor Oak's exclamation came from the Pokédex.

Ash turned the camera back to the Clefairy that was leading the pack.

"I forgot to introduce him, this is the person in charge over there!" Ash said to Clefairy, his tone as natural as introducing a neighbor. "You should say a few words too!"

Picoxi: "..."

It seemed a little awkward in front of the camera.

You've been a bit presumptuous, haven't you...

"Pish~"

It glanced at Ash, and finally, reluctantly, waved its paw at the camera as a token greeting.

He then patted Xiaozhi's leg, signaling him to get to the point quickly.

"Oh, Professor," Ash immediately understood and asked directly, "Clefairy asked if you could come to Mt. Moon for a memory wipe?"

Picoxi: "?"

Xiao Gang: "?"

Xiaoxia: "?"

Seriously, is that how you talk?!

Even if I told you to hurry, it's not this fast!

Couldn't you have been a little more tactful?

Who would come then!

"I have no problem with that, I can cooperate completely..."

Surprisingly, years of spending time together have given Professor Oak the ability to keep up with Ash's leaps of thought.

He understood the meaning behind it almost without hesitation and readily agreed.

"You don't want to expose your secret, do you?"

Picoxi: "!"

Xiao Gang: "!"

Xiaoxia: "!"

They actually came!

When Pico looked at Professor Oak on the screen, who also had dark circles under his eyes, he suddenly found him much more pleasing to the eye.

Sure enough, people with dark circles under their eyes are not bad people!

They're the kind of people who know how to work overtime!

“…But there’s a problem,” Professor Oak stroked his chin, adding somewhat embarrassedly, “I didn’t know this thing shouldn’t be shared. I shared this photo with a few other old friends…”
