Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

There weren't many people on the single lane.

"Besides, these bicycles are top-of-the-line items provided by Miss Lijia as a token of her friendship; they're in excellent condition!"

"Wouldn't it be a waste not to give it a shot?"

She was right.

These three bicycles are clearly the finest of Rainbow Dojo, with streamlined frames, lightweight yet sturdy materials, and incredibly smooth gear shifting. You can barely feel any resistance when pedaling, as if the wheels themselves are eager to roll.

As for why Rika has this?

Let's ignore this detail.

Please keep Rika in your memory as a noble lady from a prestigious family, like a Yamato Nadeshiko.

It's best not to know too much about their private side.

"Pikachu!"

Xiaoxia was met with an excited shout from Pikachu.

Instead of sitting on the bicycle, it ran alongside Ash's bicycle on all fours.

The small figure was surprisingly fast, almost as fast as a speeding bicycle, and the electric sac on its cheek flickered with cheerful electric sparks, clearly enjoying the feeling of speeding along.

Of course, this is just a temporary run; when I get tired, I'll get back on Xiaozhi's bicycle.

Running at top speed is also an ultimate enjoyment of freedom.

"Haha, partner, it seems you like this feeling too!" Ash laughed loudly, pressing the pedal hard.

He was riding a bright blue bicycle, and he had turned his hat brim behind his head to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

His face was filled with excitement.

He also found racing and other such activities very interesting.

So exciting!

"Xiaogang, don't worry! Let's just speed up a bit and get a feel for it!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhi suddenly accelerated.

The blue bicycle darted out like a cheetah, quickly closing the distance with Xiaoxia, and even began to ride side by side.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu let out an even louder cry, exerting force with its four paws and increasing its speed even further, always closely following Ash.

"You two are really..." Xiao Gang shook his head helplessly.

But seeing his companions' carefree backs ahead, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

He slightly increased the frequency of his pedaling, and the dark gray bicycle steadily accelerated, keeping pace with the group.

As long as he's not tempted by beauty, Xiaogang is extremely reliable.

Three bicycles and a yellow line trace a vibrant path along this straight avenue.

"Mew-Mew~ Mew!" Misdreavus perched on Ash's shoulder, feeling the airflow from the high speed passing through her body, making a novel and joyful sound.

Although the Dream Fairy can fly, her flight speed is actually not very fast.

Or rather, they're good at short-range bursts of speed, but their movement speed over long distances isn't very good.

This was the first time that a long-distance, long-duration movement at speeds exceeding 60 kilometers per hour had been undertaken... and the Dream Demon thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

"Isn't it exciting, Mengmeng!" Xiaoxia was also amused by Mengyao's cheerful appearance.

"Speaking of which, Miss Rika is really thoughtful," Ash said loudly while maintaining his speed.

The sound of the wind made his voice sound somewhat intermittent, "They not only lent us the car, but also arranged a return point... the perfume shop in Golden City, right?"

“That’s right!” Xiaoxia replied. “When we get to Golden City, we can just park the car in front of the Lijia family’s perfume shop. Someone there will take it. That way, we won’t have to carry the car around, which is much more convenient!”

You can choose to ride the bike back to Rainbow City from Goldenrod City or leave it at the shop.

You can fly from Golden City to Red City.

You can also take a boat from Vermilion City to Asakusa City.

Alternatively, you can go back to Celadon City and ride your bike to Fuchsia City.

"We are truly grateful for your kindness," Xiao Gang said with emotion. "Not only did you provide transportation, but you also took care of all the follow-up arrangements."

Xiaoxia's competitive spirit was completely ignited: "Faster! Faster!"

"Ash, let's have a race to see who gets to that signpost first!"

She pointed to a faintly visible kilometer marker in the distance and challenged Xiaozhi.

"I couldn't be happier!" Ash's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He lowered his body even further, his legs moving at lightning speed like motors. "Pikachu, let's go!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu understood, tiny arcs of electricity crackling around its body, its speed suddenly increasing, as if it had transformed into a real lightning bolt, giving Ash the lead.

This time, they really used [Lightning Flash].

With such a long sprint, Pikachu will probably have to sit down and rest after this round, right?

"Wow! You cheated!" Xiaoxia shouted indignantly as she watched the golden figure that had instantly overtaken her and the blue bicycle that was chasing closely behind, and she also sped up as fast as she could.

"You two... sigh, wait for me!" Xiao Gang looked at the two people and the rat who had instantly widened the distance between them, and could only smile wryly as he increased his speed again.

The six tails in the basket seemed to find the feeling of speeding around very interesting. They poked their heads out slightly, their red fur blowing backward in the wind, and their brown eyes reflecting the rapidly receding scenery.

this moment.

Even the fatigue of the journey seemed to be blown away by the strong wind.

Sunshine, wide roads, bicycles, and friends and Pokémon riding side by side... Yes, this is what I want.

"Hahahaha—" Xiao Zhi burst into laughter.

I'm in an unusually good mood today.

Like birds freed from their shackles, they sped off recklessly on the road to the next city.

The speed increased, and the downhill section was approaching 100 kilometers per hour.

I never thought I could pedal a bicycle at this speed.

This is the ultimate level of the "Mirror of Stillness" – Breaking Limits and Speeding Forward!

Shake it out!

accelerate.

However, this rapid harmony was soon shattered.

"Mah!!!"

The usually cheerful dream demon suddenly let out a sharp warning.

It looked towards the woods on the right side of the road.

Ghost-type Pokémon generally feed on negative emotions... so they are naturally more sensitive to negative emotions.

Almost at the same time that the dream demon issued its warning, the bushes beside the road shook violently!

"Hiss—!"

Accompanied by a hostile, piercing cry, more than a dozen figures shot out of the forest like gray lightning bolts, blocking the middle of the road.

It is a flock of finless peacocks.

Moreover, judging from their scarlet eyes and erect feathers, they are clearly in a state of extreme agitation.

"Be careful!!"

Xiao Zhi's pupils shrank, and he roared as he gripped the front and rear brake levers tightly with both hands!

Squeak—!!

The screeching sound of brakes instantly shattered the previous exhilarating atmosphere.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang reacted very quickly, applying emergency braking almost simultaneously.

The tires of the three bicycles left long black marks on the asphalt road, and a burnt rubber smell filled the air.

The powerful inertia propelled their bodies forward.

Ash and Misty managed to keep the car afloat thanks to their excellent balance and core strength.

But the bicycle still slid forward for a distance before coming to a near stop.

Fighting while riding a bicycle at high speed is very dangerous... so at this point, you have to stop.

Xiao Gang's movements slowed down slightly, but he stopped in time.

The dark gray bicycle came to a steady stop just a fist's distance from the rear of Xiaoxia's bike.

The six tails on the car let out a startled "woof" and curled up into a ball.

This six-tailed creature is not very old, nor is it warlike; it is even somewhat timid.

With its small and agile body, Pikachu made a light side slide and turn, firmly gripping the ground with all four limbs, and stopped in front of Ash's car.

Facing the flock of Fiery Sparrows, its cheek sacs crackled with intense electric light, signaling that it was on high alert.

"What's going on with these Fiery Sparrows?" Xiaoxia frowned as she looked at the aggressive group of creatures in front of her.

They don't look like they're hunting; they look more like... they're fleeing?

The finches were clearly not expected to see three fast-moving humans suddenly appear. Startled, they became even more agitated, flapping their wings and making louder threatening noises, but they did not attack immediately, as if they were wary of something.

“They’re not in the right state,” Xiao Gang observed carefully.

"They're injured and can't fly high." He saw the wounds on the finches' wings. "Someone deliberately drove them away!"

Ash didn't speak. His gaze passed over the restless flock of Spearow and landed in the direction they had come from—deep in the dense forest.

His intuition told him that something else was still to come that terrified the finches.

Misdreavus floated back to Ash's side, its purple mist rippled slightly, conveying an uneasy feeling.

During the brief standoff, the only sounds were the burning smell of bicycle brakes and the threatening cries of the finches.

The "racing" on Highway 7 was forced to stop.

A tense and uneasy atmosphere began to quietly spread.

-

in the distance.

Deep in the shadows of the dense forest.

Three people were using binoculars to peer through the gaps in the branches and leaves, keeping a close eye on the bicycle that had suddenly stopped and the flock of restless birds on the road.

"Tsk, you reacted pretty quickly." Yamado took a sip of his drink from his portable coffee cup, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible admiration.

Today she changed into a dark green outfit more suitable for outdoor activities, which accentuated her slender figure.

Her blonde hair was neatly tied back.

Although she is a member of an evil organization, she is actually quite beautiful.

"After all, it's something that can get Miss Rika to 'treat us specially'..." Kosaburo leaned against a tree, playing with a Poké Ball.

His signature, slightly frivolous smile played on his lips, and his short green hair swayed gently in the forest breeze.

He didn't actually finish his sentence; there was another part to it:

—Boss Sakaki specifically instructed us to 'do our best' to help our new friend achieve his goal.

—But there's no need to say that out loud.

For both Yamato and Kosaburo, this event was a complete surprise.

They originally thought they would just recruit a new member, but they never expected that after recruiting the new member, they would be given a mission by Giovanni.

Unfortunately, Sakaki's words were unclear and ambiguous.

With their intelligence, the only thing they could see was that Giovanni didn't care about Cross, but he did care about Satoshi, and he couldn't reveal the mission's secrets.
