Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

What do you want to say?

It's really rare to find two people who are so fearless!

Upon receiving the message from her eldest sister, Peony rubbed her chest.

Thankfully there was a shock absorber, otherwise I probably would have been in pain for half a day.

Under the watchful gaze of the cherry blossoms, she quickly changed her tune.

"...Ah, what I mean is, you are all so kind-hearted!"

"Yes, she's selfless and kind-hearted."

Changpu, clutching her chest, echoed in agreement.

Sakura, who had elbowed her two younger sisters, gave Ash and Brock a friendly smile.

"In short... thank you all for your hard work."

The sincerity in their words made it seem as if Xiaozhi and Xiaogang had accomplished some incredibly difficult mission.

Peony nodded in deep agreement.

"It's not hard at all!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang, who had been limp on the ground, immediately perked up as if he had been given a shot of adrenaline, and stood up with a somersault.

"For the sake of these three beautiful ladies, I would gladly go through fire and water!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control again, Xiaoxia could no longer bear it. She grabbed Xiaogang by the ear and pulled him behind her, forcibly bringing the topic back on track.

"In short! No matter what happens to the gym after I leave, as long as I'm here, that badge cannot be handed over so easily and carelessly!"

She took a deep breath and straightened her chest.

He tried to regain some of the authority of a gym leader and said to Ash.

"I, Xiaoxia, the fourth of the four Hualan sisters, represent..."

"Four sisters?"

Xiaoxia's suppression was clearly no match for Xiaozhi's.

"Aren't there only the three Hua Lan sisters? And..."

Xiao Gang secretly compared the chests of the four people.

It doesn't seem like it either.

Gene mutation?

Or should I just say I'm leaving?

"They are three sisters."

Peony immediately took over the conversation, deliberately puffing out her proud chest and drawing out her words with undisguised teasing and mockery.

"And a very ordinary-looking girl—blonde, hairy, little girl~"

She drew out the last syllable, her gaze sweeping meaningfully over Xiaoxia.

"peony--!"

Xiaoxia's cheeks instantly turned bright red, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She was both ashamed and angry, and even her ears turned red.

She's clearly a late bloomer! Her future is bright! She's just around the corner!

In short, it has enormous development potential!

Her running away from home was largely due to her sisters.

Especially her second sister, Mudan, always treated her like a little kid who needed to be taken care of and could be teased at will!

"Oh dear, what's wrong?"

Peony smiled and enjoyed watching her younger sister's flustered appearance; it had become her greatest pleasure.

"I remember someone swearing that they would never come back until they became a powerful Pokémon Trainer?"

"Who was it again? Oh dear, I have a bad memory, I can't remember. Could you help me recall?"

"If that doesn't work, I also have a recording~"

Peony launched a malicious attack on Xiaoxia!

Seeing that Peony was about to reveal her dark past, Xiaoxia, filled with shame and indignation, turned around and rushed towards the battle pool, leaving behind only a trembling voice.

"Anyway, Ash! On behalf of the Cerulean Gym, I accept your challenge!"

"Tsk tsk, this little girl is just a little girl, she's completely useless!"

Peony used a tenacious grip!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi frowned.

"That's a bit insulting."

You can say Xiaoxia is good, but you can't say she's no good.

At least she dared to go!

"I want you to take care of it!"

Peony put her hands on her hips and glared back defiantly.

"That's my sister! I said no, and that's final!"

"What right do people who don't even dare to take a match seriously have to laugh at those who do!"

Xiao Zhi clenched his fists, his eyes sharpening.

He is Xiao Zhi.

Ash Ketchum despises those who look down on Pokémon battles!

I have even more contempt for those who don't care about their own enthusiasm but instead mock others for being enthusiastic!

"Pickup!"

Pikachu glared back!

"When it comes to Pokémon battles, she takes it more seriously than any of you!"

The three sisters were taken aback by Ash's sudden and forceful attitude.

But the peony was not to be outdone.

"That's my sister!"

Xiaoxia is her younger sister!

It's hers!

"That's not a reason!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu and Ash are on the same side.

Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, the eldest sister, Sakura, sighed helplessly, rubbed her temples, and stepped in to smooth things over.

"this......"

"He is Xiaozhi, and I am Xiaogang."

Xiao Gang also became much more serious at this moment.

After Big Head takes over the body, he is a former gym leader in a state of sage mode.

I am equally ashamed of this disregard for the dojo's responsibilities.

“Xiao Zhi, you don’t know this… Mudan didn’t really have any ill intentions towards Xiaoxia.”

Cherry blossoms are trying to explain.

Of the three sisters, Mudan and Xiaoxia always bicker whenever they meet.

But Mudan and Xiaoxia were the closest of friends.

"Speaking of which, this grudge dates back to when Xia was four years old. At that time, she had just begun to take an interest in cooking and enthusiastically made a table full of... well, let's call it a dish for now."

"That's still not possible..."

Sensing something was wrong, Xiao Zhi's momentum immediately diminished.

"That day, unfortunately, Peony got home first."

Sakura continued.

"That's fine too..."

Xiao Zhi's voice lowered a little more.

"I had my stomach pumped for three whole days."

Peony crossed her arms and stated the statement expressionlessly.

After all, it was her own sister who made the meal.

She had to eat it no matter what!

"That......"

Ash and Brock, along with Pikachu on their shoulders, all unconsciously swallowed.

“That’s not all,” Peony continued, dropping the bombshell in a calm tone, “During my hospitalization, Xiaoxia secretly sent me a carefully prepared meal for patients, again in my older sister’s name.”

Yes, she really got infected this time.

Xiao Gang: "......"

Ash: "......"

Pikachu: "......"

“So,” Peony concluded, “I stayed in the hospital for three more days.”

"Well... well... she really does owe you something..."
