Chapter 335: Self-absorbed

"Wow~ Brother Xiao Hao, you're great!" Hearing Xiao Hao's words, Misty once again showed a surprised expression.

"Misty, don't be noisy, we're about to set off!" At this moment, Xiao Hao suddenly said seriously.

"Alright~" Hearing Xiao Hao's words, Misty nodded obediently.

"Swish!"

Xiao Hao and Misty teleported away and appeared by a river.

Xiao Hao and Misty's target was a group of fish by the river. "977"

"Brother Xiao Hao, are you planning to grill fish?" Seeing the scene before her, Misty said in surprise.

"That's right, we're going to have a barbecue! Misty, summon all your Pokémon!" Xiao Hao said.

"Okay, Brother Xiao Hao." Hearing Xiao Hao's words, Misty nodded.

"Roar!!"

"Roar!!"

Immediately after, three deafening roars rang out.

Xiao Hao looked up and saw three pillars of light shooting into the sky, and these three pillars of light were three identical-looking Pokémon.

After Xiao Hao and Misty observed carefully, they realized these were Misty's three Pokémon: Misty's Charizard, Misty's Magmar, and Ash's Gyarados.

"Chimchar!" Misty shouted.

"Zhi zhi~" Hearing Misty's words, Chimchar jumped into the air.

"Chiu chiu~" Chimchar landed and waved the blade in its hand at Misty.

"Chimchar, use 【Fury】, then use 【Fire Punch】!" Misty commanded.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three violent explosions rang out.

"Roar!" Chimchar roared and charged forward.

"Chimchar!" Misty shouted.

"Boom!"

Chimchar knocked down a patch of trees.

"Huff, huff~" Chimchar stopped, panting, looked in Misty's direction, and then looked at the surrounding environment, seemingly having discovered something that excited it very much.

"Haha! Chimchar successfully broke through a forest, Brother Xiao Hao, am I amazing!" Misty said happily.

"Mm, Misty, you're amazing!" Xiao Hao nodded and said.

"Of course, hee hee!" Hearing Xiao Hao's praise, Misty smiled happily.

"Xiao Hao, let's continue on our way, Chimchar is already tired." Shirona said at this time.

"Alright, Chimchar, follow us." Xiao Hao stroked Chimchar's furry head and said to it.

"Mm!" Chimchar nodded and followed Xiao Hao and Misty away.

Meanwhile, at the Whitebeard Pirates' office.

"Report, Captain, we just received information from Misty that Chimchar was brought into town by Xiao Hao and even brought into the Pokémon Center!" At this time, a staff member reported.

"Oh? So fast?" Jozu said in surprise.

"Yes, Captain!" The staff member replied.

"Fine, I know, you can go down first!" Jozu waved his hand and said.

"Yes!" Hearing this, the staff member exited the room.

"Xiao Hao?" Jozu looked at the information on the desk and muttered to himself.

"This kid is really not simple; he was actually able to possess such an excellent Pokémon in just a few days!" Jozu said, looking at the information.

"However, how did this kid do it?" Jozu said to himself; Jozu also really wanted to know.

"Brother Xiao Hao, what is this?" Misty asked.

"These are some Pokémon Pokédexes." Xiao Hao explained.

"So that's it. Then, Brother Xiao Hao, should we buy one?" Misty continued to ask.

"This, let's forget it for now. When we need one, I'll buy it for you." Xiao Hao shook his head and refused Misty.

"Alright then, let's go find Dad!" Misty thought for a moment and said.

"Mm!" Hearing Misty's words, Xiao Hao nodded, then held Misty's hand and left.

"Xiao Hao, what are you guys doing?" At this time, Shirona and Ash walked over from afar.

"Mom, why are you here?" Seeing Shirona and Ash, Xiao Hao asked hurriedly.

"We came to find Ash to chat and, by the way, to see how you guys are doing." Shirona smiled.

"Mom, we're doing fine, it's just Misty, she's always slacking off." Xiao Hao said helplessly.

"Misty? What's wrong with her?" Shirona looked at Misty and asked.

"Nothing, nothing, I'm just a bit playful." Seeing Shirona ask her, Misty hurriedly covered it up.

"You girl, don't I know you?" Shirona rolled her eyes at Misty and said.

"Alright, Misty, let's go fishing!" Xiao Hao smiled.

"Okay!" Hearing Xiao Hao's words, Misty replied happily.

Subsequently, Xiao Hao and Misty left this place, preparing to find Ash.

"Misty, I remember Ash's Pokémon are water-type, don't you think water-type Pokémon are very suitable for Chimchar?" Xiao Hao suddenly turned around and reminded Misty.

"Ah?! That's right, I forgot. Good thing Brother Xiao Hao reminded me." Hearing Xiao Hao's words, Misty said with a sudden realization.

"Misty, let's go find Ash first." Xiao Hao said.

"Mm mm, alright!" Hearing Xiao Hao's words, Misty nodded and said.

"Purr! Purr!"

Chimchar stood up straight at this time.

"Chimchar, let's go chase after Ash!" Seeing Chimchar stand up straight, Misty said excitedly.

"Roar woo woo~~" Chimchar called out a few times, then ran toward the depths of the forest.

Misty and Xiao Hao followed closely behind...

"Splash~~ splash~~ splash~~" Chimchar was running in the forest, but its speed remained very slow. At this time, Chimchar had a foxtail grass in its mouth.

"Chimchar, why did you stop running?" Seeing Chimchar stop, Misty asked in confusion.

"Roar woo~~" Hearing Misty's words, Chimchar looked back and called out, indicating it didn't know why either.

"Strange, Chimchar's speed is clearly very slow, so why can't it run?" Misty muttered.

"Chimchar, let go of that foxtail grass and run with me!" At this time, Xiao Hao said.

"Roar!" Hearing Xiao Hao's words, Chimchar immediately threw away the foxtail grass in its mouth and then opened its legs to follow Xiao Hao.

"Misty, look, its speed has clearly increased." Xiao Hao looked at Chimchar's speed and said in surprise.

"It has! Chimchar seems to have become smarter!" Misty said in surprise.

"Chimchar's stamina has reached its limit." Xiao Hao looked at Chimchar and said.

"Mm, let's hurry, or we'll be late!" Misty held Xiao Hao's hand and said.

"Alright." Xiao Hao nodded and said.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Misty and Xiao Hao were moving rapidly through the forest.

"Roar!"

At this time, Chimchar finally couldn't hold on anymore and sat on the ground.

"Pfft!"

Seeing Chimchar in this state, Misty covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Chimchar, you've worked hard." Xiao Hao walked over, stroked Chimchar's head, and said.

"Roar~" Hearing Xiao Hao's comfort, Chimchar calmed down.

"Huff huff!!"

Chimchar's breathing became heavier and heavier.

"It seems Chimchar really doesn't have much strength left." Xiao Hao sighed and said.

"Chimchar, you have no strength left now, I'll send you back to rest." Xiao Hao stroked Chimchar's head and said.

"Roar roar!" Chimchar seemed to understand Xiao Hao's meaning and patted Xiao Hao's cheek with its claw while calling out.

"Alright, since you insist, let's go to Uncle Ash's shop!" Seeing Chimchar's reaction, Xiao Hao nodded and said.

"Yay, Chimchar, let's go find Uncle Ash!" Misty jumped onto Chimchar's back happily and said.

"Chimchar, let's go!" Subsequently, Xiao Hao rode on Chimchar's back and said.

"Roar roar!" Chimchar called out, then flew toward the outskirts of the forest.

Misty was lying on Chimchar's neck, closing her eyes, enjoying this beautiful moment.

"Knock knock knock~~" Chimchar and Misty knocked on the door of Ash's shop.

"Who is it?" Ash's voice came through.

"Ash, it's me and Sister, we've come to find you, open the door quickly!" Hearing Ash's voice, Misty shouted excitedly.

"So it's Misty and Xiao Hao, come in." Hearing it was Misty and Xiao Hao, Ash breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chimchar, you come in too. It's been a long time since we played together." Seeing Chimchar, Xiao Hao stroked its head and said gently.

"Roar!" Hearing Xiao Hao's words, Chimchar called out excitedly and jumped into the shop.

"Xiao Hao, Misty, you're here." Seeing Xiao Hao and Misty walk in, Ash said happily.

"Mm! Ash, are you still selling ice cream today?" Misty looked at Ash and asked.

"Uh... yes, because today a group of customers wants to try my new style." Ash was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Wow, Ash, then you're going to make a fortune today!" Misty said excitedly.

"Haha, Misty is right." Ash looked at Misty and smiled.

"Roar woo~~" At this time, Chimchar also came to join the fun, letting out a howl at Misty.

"Hehe! Chimchar, are you hungry too?" Misty stroked Chimchar's head and asked.

"Mm, roar!" Chimchar nodded.

"Then you can eat a bag of potato chips!" Misty picked up a bag of potato chips from the table nearby and handed it to Chimchar.

"Roar!" Seeing the food, Chimchar called out excitedly, then couldn't wait to take a bite of the potato chips.

"Crunch~~ snap!" After eating the potato chips, Chimchar narrowed its eyes in satisfaction, showing an expression of enjoyment.

"Hee hee!!" Seeing Chimchar's satisfied look, Misty couldn't help but say.

"Haha!" Ash and Haruka were also amused by Misty's appearance at this time.

"By the way, Xiao Hao, what were you doing just now? I saw you turning left and right in the forest, you didn't get lost, did you?" Seeing Xiao Hao, Ash asked.

"Ash, you misunderstood, I didn't get lost, it's just that I felt danger nearby just now." Xiao Hao looked at Ash and said seriously.

"Danger? What danger?" Ash frowned and asked.
