Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"Otherwise, not only do you not have our figures and looks, but your strength is also... um!"

Before Peony could finish speaking, her chest heaved, instantly silencing her.

An elbow strike from Sakura.

Fast and accurate!

Xiaoxia suppressed her impulsive fists and shouted at her three older sisters:

"In short, you all need to intensify your Pokémon training!"

"If I keep being this lazy, I don't want to come back one day and see the Cerulean Gym being forcibly closed by the League because of its lack of strength!"

"This dojo is the pride that our family has passed down through generations!"

Her words were powerful and her momentum was so strong that the three sisters involuntarily sat up straight and nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of closing the gyms..."

Sakura seemed to suddenly remember something and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Ash who ran over.

"Huh?" Ash looked around, puzzled. "Have you seen Teacher Gang? Wasn't he just here? What happened?"

“Him…” Peony rubbed her still aching chest and pouted, “…maybe he lost his home.”

Ash: "???"

Xiaoxia: "???"

A huge question mark seemed to appear above their heads.

"Could it be that Mount Tsukimi has flown back again?"

Xiao Zhi asked tentatively.

"No, that's not it." "What does this have to do with Tsukimiyama?"

The three sisters, one after the other, vividly described how Pewter Dojo might have been betrayed by Lance.

After listening, both of them showed expressions of admiration.

"I guess he's just as expected of an older man..."

"As expected, he never plays in low-elo games..."

"Pikachu".

Pikachu nodded seriously.

This move directly filled the gap in the uncle's battle record in the Kanto region.

That can be considered a successful completion of one's mission.

Just then, Xiao Gang, looking utterly dejected and as if his soul had left his body, slowly walked back.

His eyes were vacant, and his steps were unsteady, as if he had suffered a tremendous shock.

"Ah, Ash, you got the badge! Congratulations!"

Xiao Gang's tone was flat and monotone, clearly indicating that his mind was not on the subject at all.

My condolences.

Xiao Zhi patted him on the shoulder solemnly.

My condolences.

Xiaoxia patted his other shoulder sympathetically.

"Pikachu".

With nowhere else to take pictures, Pikachu could only stand on Ash's shoulder and pat his head with its little paws.

"I...I'm fine."

Xiao Gang managed to force a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Is Uncle Wu Neng alright?"

After treating the injured Pokémon, Misty put it away and asked with concern.

She had a good impression of the older man who was willing to eat her food.

"It'll be fine."

Xiao Zhi, however, is quite optimistic about this.

"After all, the uncle has lost so many times, he is experienced and has definitely developed the right mentality, so one more time won't make a difference."

"So many times?"

They keenly captured the keywords.

Cherry blossoms immediately drew closer, their eyes sparkling.

She sensed something big was about to happen!

Xiaoxia immediately lowered her voice and said mysteriously to her three older sisters.

"I'm telling you, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone! Uncle Wu Neng has fought against...￥%……￥%#......"

Hearing these prestigious names...

"Wow--!"

The three sisters widened their eyes in unison.

Champion!

That's the champion!

An ordinary person would boast about it for a long time after seeing just one!

He's actually fought against so many people!

Although the outcome... the experience itself is already a living legend!

Even Xiao Gang, who was standing to the side, seemed quite surprised. He had no idea that his seemingly dejected father had such a "glorious" record.

He thought the phone call just now was his father bragging about the visitor...

"So, the uncle lost again?"

Unable to contain her curiosity, Xiaoxia pressed for more information.

"What kind of talk is that!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi frowned and immediately spoke up for Uncle Wu Neng.

"How can you distrust an older man like that!"

Then Xiao Zhi changed his perspective and asked a question from a angle he was more concerned about.

"Did the uncle withstand three moves?"

Xiao Gang looked up, staring blankly at the stained glass ceiling of the dojo, his tone unfocused.

"I have no idea."

How could you not know?

Xiaoxia was puzzled.

Xiao Gang sighed.

“I just went out to call him, intending to remind him that Yulongdu might be going to conduct a dojo assessment, and to tell him to be careful.”

"After listening, he was silent for two seconds, then waved his hand and said something in a tone of someone who had been through it all."

【Riding the Dragon? That dragon king with impure blood?】

[That Dragon-type Elite Four member who tried to win the championship several times but failed?]

[Hmph! He's just a guy who gets ridden on by women!]

[Don't even mention a superstar; even a legitimate champion, your old man here has fought them before!]

[How dare this mere red-haired brat act so presumptuously!]

【Let him come at me! I'll make sure he doesn't leave alive!】

"Overbearingly domineering! Absolutely domineering!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu and Ash were thrilled.

"And then what?"

Xiaoxia couldn't wait to ask more questions.

"after?"

Xiao Gang withdrew his gaze from the ceiling, his eyes completely losing their sparkle.

"Then I saw the red-haired kid... I mean, the Heavenly King himself, in the video on the screen. He appeared silently behind my father. Judging from his expression, he had probably been standing there for a while."

The air froze instantly.

Ash & Misty: "!!!"

The three sisters: "!!!"

Impure bloodline + repeated failed attempts to win the championship + being ridden on by a woman + red-haired boy...

Wow, that hatred buff is stacked up really high!

This time, your family is really going to be wiped out!

37. Martial prowess brings glory!

I spent a few days resting in Hualan City.

Fully prepared, Ash, Misty, and Brock set off once again on their journey.

Hua Lan Dojo.
