At the entrance of the Pokémon Center lobby, a middle-aged woman with long brown hair was holding a salute tube in her hand, pointing it directly at Ash with a smile.
"boom!"
As she pulled her palm, all the colorful ribbons sprayed on Xiaozhi's face, causing a little damage.
"Congratulations~Xiaozhi! The competition is really exciting!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiaozhi came back to his senses and brushed the ribbon from his face with a bit of joy.
"Mom, why are you here?!"
The woman who attacked Xiaozhi in front of him was his mother, Hanako.
Pikachu also jumped on Hanako's shoulder affectionately and said hello.
"Also, Dr. Omu, are you here too?"
Standing next to Hanako was an old man in a research uniform with half-grey hair. Standing there, the aura of academics and comedians hit his face at the same time.
"Haha~ This time, two people from our Zhenxin Town entered the top 16. Dr. Damu, myself, and several village committee representatives caught a flight overnight~"
Hanako said with a smile.
After some encouragement, she rolled up her sleeves and turned to the kitchen with high spirits, intending to show off her cooking skills and cook a good meal for everyone. She had made a reservation in advance to borrow the kitchen here.
Seeing this scene, Xiaozhi couldn't help but salivate, looking forward to the dinner later.
What’s so delicious about the food cooked by the five-star chefs here, but the food from home is better!
...
"Hey~ Xiaozhi did a good job. I watched all your games and you have grown into an excellent trainer."
Dr. Oak stepped forward, smiled and patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder.
To be honest, it has been a long time since Zhenxin Town has a trainer who has reached the top 16. This time, Zhenxin Town's name may be completely spread throughout the Kanto region!
Only then did Xiaozhi notice that there were two people behind Dr. Oak.
On one side, there is a brown-haired girl, wearing a playful white sun hat, long brown hair, and a cute face.
But her bun-shaped face had bulged into a pufferfish, and she stared at the other person with unkind eyes.
On the other side, there was a spiky-headed boy with a frivolous expression, his hands on his hips, looking at her quite proudly.
If Dr. Ohki hadn't been standing in the middle, the two might have started fighting on the spot.
"Hehe, I just went to pick up Grandpa and the others, and I didn't expect to see someone cutting down a tree at the entrance of the venue. Haha, I really laughed to death."
Xiao Mao laughed proudly. This sentence made Xiao Lan immediately embarrassed, with a blush on his face and ears.
Xiao Lan was very embarrassed when she was caught alive by her elders when she secretly cut down a tree.
After provoking Xiao Lan, Xiao Mao decisively turned the target:
"Speaking of Xiaozhi, did I hear that you also entered the top 16? Hehe, it seems you are very lucky. You have encountered novices in four games, right?"
Xiaozhi was not irritated, but he also spoke provocatively:
"Don't worry about these things. If you meet me next, I will personally send you out."
Seeing that the three of them were about to start a fight, and it was very likely that Xiaozhi and Xiaolan would join forces to beat their grandson, Dr. Oak quickly stepped in and patted the heads of the three of them one by one with a smile.
"In short, the three of you performed very well in this conference. You have all brought glory to our Zhenxin Town. Xiaozhi and Xiaomao both entered the top 16, and Xiaolan also made history."
Xiaolan: "?"
Dr. Oki looked at the faces of the three people. Although they were still a little immature, they had experienced a trip to an area and were a little more mature. He finally nodded with satisfaction.
To be honest, Xiao Mao was the one he was most worried about among the three.
Although Xiaozhi is a little weak in strength, he has the perseverance and determination to move forward. Such a person will work hard to overcome no matter what kind of difficulties he encounters.
But it seems that he made a mistake. Xiaozhi's strength is not as strong as he imagined. Instead, he is surprisingly strong. He may even be stronger than his grandson now...?
Xiaolan, on the other hand, looks carefree. Although she is a little unlucky, her optimistic and natural character can also go a long way.
Except Xiaomao.
Although both his own strength and theoretical knowledge are higher than the other two, but.
The mentality is too bad.
Such people may hit rock bottom once they encounter setbacks.
But to Dr. Ohki's surprise, it seemed that what he was worried about did not happen. Although Xiao Mao looks careless on the outside, he is also very tough on the inside.
In the hazy moment, Dr. Ohki always felt that these three people had become a little strange, as if something incredible had happened to them.
But no matter how they changed, these three people were still his favorite and valued juniors.
Thinking of this, Dr. Omu suddenly reached into his arms and took out three CDs of different colors, one red, one green and one blue, and handed them to the three of them respectively.
"Haha, this is a gift for the three of you. It is the ultimate trick that only the original Pokémon can learn to master."
Although there are many skills with various attributes now, these three moves are unique moves that belong specifically to their Kanto region and have a long history.
Although these three moves all have the side effect of causing the body to become stiff after use, the power of the skills is also extremely powerful!
"Water Cannon, the ultimate water attribute trick, which your Water Arrow Turtle can learn."
Xiaomao took the blue disc.
"Crazy plant, the ultimate grass-type trick, Xiao Lan, your Ivysaur hasn't evolved yet, has it? This power is too strong, and you have to wait until the evolved third-level form before you can start learning it."
Xiao Lan took the green disc.
"Explosive flames, the ultimate fire attribute move, Xiaozhi, you..."
Pikachu took the red disc.
"Doctor, can my Pikachu also learn Explosive Flame?"
Dr. Oak: "..."
He had forgotten that this kid was different from ordinary people. Everyone else's starting Pokémon were all from the three families of water, fire and grass. Only he was an ordinary electric rat...
"Haha, electric mice are still not good. Only Yusanjia can learn..."
He had exchanged Pokémon with Xiaozhi several times, so he naturally knew that Xiaozhi was the weirdest one. He took an electric rat, and then he had all three of the Yusan family on the way, and naturally he had the opportunity to master all three moves.
"Xiao Zhi, let me lend you mine first~ This move can only be mastered in the third stage, but my little garlic doesn't particularly want to evolve to the third stage in the short term~" Xiao Lan didn't even think about it, and took her back with her hand. The green disc was placed in Xiaozhi's hand.
Xiao Mao on the side held up the blue disc in his hand teasingly, put his other hand on the latter's shoulder, and said proudly:
"Xiao Zhi, hehe, if you beg me a few times, I can lend you the CD of the water cannon~"
Unexpectedly, Xiaozhi just waved his hand, not greedy at all.
"My Cammy turtle doesn't particularly want to evolve to the third stage."
This is the truth.
Speaking of which, only my own fire-breathing dragon can learn explosive flames...
Well, with the special status of Ivysaur, there should be a chance to master the crazy plant in the second stage...
