Chapter 119

Kalos Region, Parfum Palace.

"They, they actually kissed?!"

Serena was stunned; she never expected her parallel-world self to be so bold, turning back and giving Ash a kiss.

This truly scared her.

"Wow, look at her, then look at you," Sachi said, disappointed in her lack of steel, "You need to be braver, Serena!"

"Sigh, the only regret is that Serena's kiss was a few days late; if only it could have beaten May."

Sachi felt a bit depressed.

That May is truly a damn little bitch.

Isn't the custom of Asiana Island to kiss on the cheek? She actually kissed on the lips.

She has ruined the customs of Asiana Island!

Poor Serena, it was just that little bit short.

Poor Serena? Then who pities me, who pities my parallel-world self?

Misty's mind went numb again.

How many people have kissed Ash now?

The third one.

What's even more infuriating is that none of the three were her.

Waaah, are honest people destined to suffer losses?

Chatroom.

Elesa: "Wow, Serena is so brave, just kissing him straight up like that!"

Caitlin: "Impressive, my Serena. Knowing she couldn't stay with Black Ash forever, so she left a mark in Black Ash's heart with a kiss."

Diantha: "Misty, what on earth is Misty doing? She is the one who has accompanied Ash the longest!"

Daisy: "Don't mention it, just a useless waste."

Lillie: "She even actively gave Ash and Serena a chance to be alone; if they knew what happened, do you think Misty would regret it until her intestines turn green?"

Sakura: "Probably not; Misty has probably already gotten used to it, numb to it."

Misty: "..."

【"Ash, why is your face so red?" Misty asked curiously at the Pokémon Center.】

【Ash unconsciously touched his burning hot cheek and said, "The wind at the port was too strong; it blew on me."】

【"Sigh. Was the wind at the port really that strong?" Misty muttered.】

【It's over; the Orange League challenge is over, time to go home.】

【This time, Ash and the others didn't encounter any messy things and returned to Pallet Town smoothly.】

【At Professor Oak's laboratory in Pallet Town, Ash also saw Tracey, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.】

【"Long time no see, Tracey, how have you been recently?" Ash asked with a smile.】

【"Good. These three months following Professor Oak have been the most fulfilling three months of my life," Tracey said excitedly.】

【It was a bit tiring, but being able to see all kinds of Pokémon at the professor's lab and learn various kinds of knowledge is the life Tracey has always longed for.】

【"Ash, you're finally back."】

【"I'm about to become a Pokémon Trainer too; just wait, I'll surpass you very soon!"】

【The signature spiky hair; the speaker was Ash's true "childhood friend," Gary.】

【"Gary is going to become a Pokémon Trainer too?" Ash asked curiously.】

【"I originally wanted him to travel in another half year, but Gary couldn't wait any longer," Professor Oak said helplessly.】

【Actually, it's not Gary's fault; Ash, who grew up with him, has already become the Indigo Conference Champion and an honorary trainer of the Orange League, so how could Gary not be anxious?】

【Waiting another half year would be like killing him. Moreover, his tenth birthday has already passed; even according to the League's regulations, he can register as a Pokémon Trainer without his grandfather having to pull special strings for him.】

【"By the way, Ash, which region are you going to travel to next?" Gary asked.】

【After thinking for a moment, Ash gave his answer, "Johto."】

【"Great, it's happily decided then; I'm going to Johto too! Let's meet at the Silver Conference!"】

【"By then, I will definitely defeat you."】

【Gary said with full confidence.】

【Watching Gary's retreating figure, Professor Oak said helplessly, "Sigh, I don't know when our Gary will finally grow up."】

【"By the way, Professor Oak, how is the research on the GS Ball going?"】

【Mentioning the GS Ball gave Professor Oak a headache; "No leads at all. By the way, Ash, you're going to Johto, right? That's perfect; help me take the GS Ball to Mr. Steel; maybe he can figure something out."】

Misty: "Gary is going to travel to the Johto Region too? Is he going to challenge Black Ash?"

Brock: "Then my suggestion is to surrender directly; the gap is too big."

Gary: "Hey, can't you wish me some good? Maybe my parallel-world self is a genius of the world?"

Lance: "Uh, do you actually believe that?"

Gary: "..."

【Before departing for Johto, Ash went to Saffron City at Erika's invitation. On the way to Saffron City, he caught two new Pokémon.】

【One was a Mankey, and the other was a pink Butterfree.】

【Both spirits came to him voluntarily; Mankey wanted to steal Ash's hat, and Butterfree fancied its Butterfree.】

【After playing in Saffron City for a few days, Ash officially headed to Johto; his first stop in the Johto Region was New Bark Town.】

【The town where the wind of beginning blows.】

At this moment, the black-bordered screen slowly dimmed, and the white-bordered screen lit up.

117: Black Xiaozhi's Beautiful Disciple! (Please Subscribe!)

After registering the Johto League entry procedures at Ifa Town, Xiaozhi set off for the nearest city with a Gym, Azalea Town.

Lance: "Wait, did Xiaozhi forget to do something?"

Steven: "Pidgeot, Pidgeot, didn't we agree to pick up Pidgeot after finishing our business?"

Diantha: "Hmm, perhaps the business isn't finished yet?"

Ritchie: "Come, let's interview the person involved. Xiaozhi, what do you think is the reason?"

Xiaozhi: "Um, maybe, perhaps it's because I was too excited about challenging the new League, so I forgot."

Everyone: "..."

On the way to Azalea Town, Xiaozhi and the others met a strange girl.

At this moment, she was having a wild battle; her partner was a Chikorita wearing a headband, and the opponent was a Rattata.

While shouting loud slogans, the girl conducted the battle. After successfully catching the Rattata, she even sang a happy ballad.

Lance: "Riding the wind of Mt. Moon, lightning flashed by, Light Screen, Thunder Punch, Leer, the Leer Electabuzz, go, go, go!"

The song the girl sang was quite catchy; even Lance couldn't help but hum along.

Cynthia: "What a cute little girl. Who is she?"

Diantha: "Chikorita. She's probably a new trainer departing from Ifa Town."

Elm: "Haha, Nana is as energetic as ever."

Nana: "This is so embarrassing!!!"

Xiaozhi and the three quickly became friends with Nana. From their conversation, the three learned that Nana was a fan of the Electabuzz baseball team, and her greatest dream was to build a team with all yellow patterns.

Because Xiaozhi carelessly spoke the truth that the Electabuzz team had never won a championship, Nana, in a fit of anger, challenged Xiaozhi.

Although Misty was already on the side persuading Xiaozhi to go easy on Nana, who was still a newcomer, Xiaozhi still sent out Charizard.

Facing the powerful Charizard, Nana, who was still a newcomer, had no way to cope and was easily defeated.

Being defeated so thoroughly was something Nana hadn't expected. Unable to accept reality, Nana left Xiaozhi and the others and fled alone.

Lorelei: "Xiaozhi, what should I say to you?"

Lorelei was rendered speechless by Xiaozhi's move. Clearly knowing that Nana was a newcomer who had just departed from Ifa Town, he still went for the kill; he truly didn't know how to show mercy to a beauty.

Diantha: "Sigh, no wonder Xiaozhi is still single; his emotional intelligence is far worse than Black Xiaozhi's."

Steven: "Hey, why are you all blaming Xiaozhi? I actually think Xiaozhi's approach is very correct. Pokémon battles require going all out; holding back is not only disrespectful to oneself but also disrespectful to the opponent."

Lance: "I quite like Nana, but Steven is right; Pokémon battles require going all out."

Volkner: "You two have reasons for being single."
