Chapter 105

One day ago, because of Xiao Gang's dangerous driving, their boat struck a reef; when they went ashore to find wood to repair the ship, the waves washed the boat away. If they hadn't met Captain Xiaomei, they wouldn't have known how to set sail.

While the group was chatting, wind and waves suddenly rose on the calm seaside, and the sky became overcast with dark clouds.

"No way?" Xiao Xia was on the verge of tears; was the tailwind ship they had so hard won also about to suffer a major setback?

Drifting along the current, the group arrived at an unnamed small island.

On the beach.

Xiao Xia jumped off the boat, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's lucky we managed to get ashore safely."

"This is a headache," Captain Xiaomei said, rubbing her temples. "We can only continue sailing after the tide rises."

"Don't worry, Captain Xiaomei, leave it to me!"

Xiao Zhi patted his chest, reassuring Captain Xiaomei.

Captain Xiaomei's boat was about the same size as the one their waves had swept away; its weight was estimated at only fifteen or sixteen tons. With him and Snorlax working together, they could easily push the boat into the sea.

Wallace: "Only fifteen or sixteen tons? What a 'only'."

Steven: "Um, does that mean Snorlax is responsible for pushing five tons and Black Xiao Zhi for pushing ten tons?"

Flannery: "No! It means Snorlax sits on the boat while Black Xiao Zhi pushes both the boat and Snorlax into the sea!!!"

Cynthia: "Alright, alright, stop joking. Look at this island; doesn't it look like the Asahi Island?"

Lysandre: "Look? This is the Asahi Island."

Lance: "Captain Xiaomei and the Asahi Island have appeared early; is Giru's appearance far off?"

Siebold: "Can't wait to see Black Xiao Zhi beat up Giru!!!"

Giru: "..."

Ding!

Entering the prize quiz segment!

Question: On the Asahi Island, who stole Black Xiao Zhi's first kiss?

A: Xiao Xia.

B: Flora.

C: Captain Xiaomei.

D: Xiao Yu.

E: Koga.

Brandon: "The prize quiz has finally appeared again; this time, I, Brandon, will absolutely not answer wrong!!! B: Flora, the correct answer to this question is Flora!"

Will: "Are you crazy, Brandon! We are still within the quiz penalty period!"

Brandon: "How can you catch a tiger's cub without entering the tiger's den? This question is a bonus given to us by the viewing system; if we don't rush now, when will we?!"

Steven: "Brandon makes sense; the correct answer to this question is one hundred percent Flora. I can already guess the upcoming plot. A group of islanders wearing strange masks appears, followed by the hotly dressed Flora. To welcome Black Xiao Zhi to the island, Flora gives him a welcome kiss. Wallace, rush!!!"

Wallace: "Let me rush? Why don't you rush! Do you think I'm stupid? Is the viewing system that kind? I don't know what the correct answer to this question is, but the wrong answer is obvious; Flora is one hundred percent wrong!"

There are no free pies falling from the sky; how could the viewing system be so kind as to send bonuses to quiz-takers? It cannot be B.

Amidst the bickering between Steven and Wallace, the three-second quiz penalty period passed smoothly.

Lance: "A, this question must be answered A; Xiao Xia has always had feelings for Black Xiao Zhi, so it's quite normal that she couldn't hold back on the Asahi Island and kissed Xiao Zhi."

Siebold: "Little Lan's words make sense; I also choose A!!!"

Captain Xiaomei: "Isn't that too outrageous? Why do I appear? I was just along for the ride, and besides, I am several years older than Black Xiao Zhi."

Jasmine: "Age is never a distance; Captain Xiaomei, I support you; I choose C."

Captain Xiaomei: "..."

Flora: "Hahaha, there's even an option for my older sister, so I must choose my older sister! D, Xiao Yu!"

Xiao Yu: "You really are someone who stirs up trouble just for fun!"

Koga: "No, why am I in the options?"

Koga really couldn't understand; what did this have to do with her?

Lysandre: "Isn't the answer obvious? Koga, you want to use an old ox to eat tender grass. I support you, Koga; I choose E."

Cynthia: "You are supporting yourself, right? I think the one who wants to use an old ox to eat tender grass is actually you, Lysandre!!!"

Palmer: "Sigh, you've already been seen through by everyone; just admit it, Miss Lysandre."

Lysandre: "Me? What am I supposed to admit!!! What does this have to do with me!"

Kanto Town.

"B, this question is absolutely B; believe me, Xiao Xia."

Xiao Gang said with absolute certainty.

Believe you? Xiao Xia now wished she could slap Xiao Gang.

Do you really want to see Flora steal Xiao Zhi's first kiss? You damn guy!

Xiao Xia originally wanted to choose A, but her skin was still too thin, so in the end she could only choose to give up.

As for Xiao Zhi, matters of love were too difficult for him, so he also chose to give up.

While the three of Xiao Zhi were answering the question, the Team Rocket trio nearby was also discussing.

"Miss Koga, I think the correct answer to this question is Miss Koga," James said with full confidence.

"Impossible, choose B; this question is absolutely B, Flora," Jessie insisted that the correct answer was Flora.

Meowth, standing beside them, also chimed in, "I think we should choose D; this question should be answered D. Meow."

【Xiao Zhi was just about to call Snorlax out of its Poké Ball when suddenly a huge crowd rushed out from the beach and surrounded them.】

【"What happened?" Xiao Xia was frightened and instantly grabbed Xiao Zhi's arm tightly.】

Had they accidentally entered a cannibal island? Would the people on the cannibal island eat them raw next?

"No! She hasn't become a Water-type Pokémon Master yet; she doesn't want to die!!!"

Misty and Brock were so frightened their legs went weak, while Ash wasn't scared, but his head hurt terribly now.

What has been going on these past few days? Why does trouble follow them wherever they go? Have they encountered something unclean?

"Eh, isn't that Mei?"

The girl leading the group took off her hood and greeted the Mei on the boat, "Long time no see."

"Oh, so it's You."

The truth came out: they hadn't arrived at a cannibal island, but at Asuka Island; as for everyone dressing up like that, it wasn't to cosplay as cannibals, but simply to celebrate the upcoming festival.

Flint: "Um. Why hasn't Flora appeared yet?"

Shouldn't the plot have unfolded with Flora appearing alongside everyone and then presenting Ash with a fragrant kiss?

Why have all the islanders appeared, yet Flora still hasn't shown herself?

Flora: "Sigh, didn't I tell you? This was a year ago; a year ago, I hadn't yet taken over the Miko position from my older sister."

Flint: "If that's the case?"

Flint was now completely panicked.

Flora: "Right. If there's still a scene involving a welcome kiss, the person offering the fragrant kiss should be my older sister, You."

You: "Right, I almost forgot; a year ago, the little Miko responsible for playing the flute was me."

Brock: "Why didn't you say so earlier!!!"

Jessie: "Right, why didn't you tell us earlier!!!"

You: "I forgot; I'm sorry, everyone."

Flora: "Why should I tell you? Only the top three who answer correctly get the reward; if I told you, what if you squeezed me out?"

Jessie: "You could answer first and then tell us!"

Flora: "Tch, you're not my mother; why should I tell you?"

Jessie: "So arrogant! This little girl is so arrogant; I must teach you a good lesson!!!"

Flora: "If you have the guts, come to Asuka Island; who will teach whom is yet to be seen!"

"Wow, Ash, you're a Trainer? And the first-place winner of the Indigo Conference? That's truly amazing!!!" You said in an admiring tone.

"Big sister, I used to be a Trainer too, and I was the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym."

Although he didn't know why You treated Trainers so differently, he knew he must show off his abilities now, so Brock quickly revealed that he too had once been a Trainer.

Who knew that You completely ignored him and kept staring fixedly at Ash.

You scrutinized Ash from head to toe for a long while, then revealed a satisfied look.

"Hey, what do you want to do to Ash?" Misty sensed something was wrong and quickly spoke up to question her.

"Of course, I'll do what needs to be done." You gave a seductive smile.
