Chapter 98

【"Then what are we waiting for, Ash? Next stop, Trovita Island!!!"】

【"It's the first time I've seen Misty so excited," Brock said with a smile.】

104: Misty is jealous, Lorelei's figure is just too good!

【"That goes without saying, that's Lorelei!!!"】

【"She is the idol of all Water-type Pokémon trainers," Misty said longingly.】

【"Um," Ash scratched his head, "Isn't Lorelei an Ice-type Elite Four member?"】

Misty: "Er."】

Lorelei: "Ice and Water are not separate families. There's no difference between an Ice-type Elite Four and a Water-type Elite Four."】

Glacia: "Is that really the case?"】

Steven: "Forgive Lorelei; she is already the most reliable Elite Four member in Kanto."】

Lance, Bruno, Agatha: "..."】

【After leaving Murcott Island, Ash and the three were originally planning to go directly to Trovita Island. However, on the way to Trovita Island, their boat had a little accident.】

【Metropolis dock.】

【Misty looked helpless, "This boat didn't break early, didn't break late, but it had to break at this time!"】

【She seriously suspected that this boat was targeting her.】

【"There's no need to be so anxious. Didn't Nurse Joy say that Lorelei will stay on Trovita Island for a long time? It won't be too late to go there after the boat is repaired," Brock comforted.】

【"Lapras, we're about to see the legendary Ice-type master, are you happy?" Ash was teasing the little Lapras at the coast.】

【It had been more than a month since he captured the little Lapras. In this month, Lapras's body shape changed every moment. I believe it won't be long before it enters its youth.】

【Ash and the others were originally only planning to stay in Metropolis for one day and leave after the boat was repaired, but what they didn't expect was that the shipyard didn't have the parts for their boat, and they had to wait two days for the transport ship to bring the parts before they could start repairing the boat.】

【The trio, with nothing to do, wandered around the city. They met Officer Jenny who was on duty on the street. After learning that Ash was the Indigo Plateau Conference champion, Officer Jenny hoped he could do her a favor.】

【Metropolis sewer.】

【"Why do we have to come to the sewer?" Smelling the stench emanating from all around, Misty was almost crying.】

【They went shopping and ended up in the sewer; there's no one else who shops like this.】

【"It's all Brock's credit," Ash sighed.】

【If it weren't for Brock patting his chest and saying he wanted to help Officer Jenny solve the trouble, they should have already returned to the Pokémon Center to take a nap.】

【"10 *Cough cough. * Life lies in movement; moving more is good for our bodies," Brock said with a red face.】

【Three hours later, the three of them dragged the monster out of the sewer.】

【The prototype of the monster was a Bulbasaur, and it was a Bulbasaur that had become fat from eating junk food.】

【From the Bulbasaur's mouth, Ash and the others learned that it was an abandoned Pokémon and had lived in the sewer for many years.】

【After handing the Bulbasaur over to Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny, Ash and the others originally thought this matter was over, but who knew the mayor of Metropolis would jump out. Even more coincidentally, this guy was the culprit behind the Bulbasaur incident many years ago.】

【In order to protect his reputation, the mayor originally planned to deal with Ash and the others, but he overestimated his subordinates' abilities too much. As a result, not only did he not achieve his goal, but he ended up in jail himself.】

Lance: "Good, this kind of guy should go to jail and reflect properly."】

【Dark Ash sent this clown mayor directly to prison, which also saved him a lot of trouble in the parallel world.】

【Dark Ash is indeed a good person.】

【Trovita Island.】

【At a seaside restaurant, Ash and the others were leisurely enjoying delicious food.】

【"Hey, the food in this restaurant is really delicious," Misty said while stuffing the food in her hand into her mouth, praising it non-stop.】

【Brock shook his head, "Who was it an hour ago who said there was no need to waste time eating and just eat some dry rations?"】

【"I just wanted to see Lorelei too much," Misty stuck out her tongue.】

【And how did she know the food in this restaurant was so delicious, even better than Brock's craftsmanship.】

【Brock: "It's normal for it to be better than my craftsmanship. I'm a Pokémon Breeder, not a professional chef."】

【"I don't know if I can still buy tickets for the symposium from scalpers," Ash had a headache.】

【According to the information they got on the island, the tickets for Lorelei's symposium were already sold out. It was impossible to get tickets through official channels; now they could only try their luck with scalpers.】

【If they couldn't even buy them from scalpers, they could only ask Professor Oak for help.】

【"Are you looking for me?"】

【A light blue coat, a red shirt, a black tight skirt. Lorelei's attire wasn't flashy, but paired with her graceful figure, it could only be described as explosive.】

【Even Ash, who was always very restrained toward women, felt amazed the first moment he saw Lorelei.】

【At this time, Misty also felt the threat brought by Lorelei. The unique charm of a mature woman exuded by Lorelei was something she couldn't surpass.】

【She is a D, maybe even an E, and she is only an A. How can she compete?】

【Lorelei probably saw Misty's thoughts and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, you will still develop."】

【After comforting Misty, Lorelei turned to look at Ash, "You must be Ash, right? Bruno has been nagging about you in front of me for a long time."】

【"?"】

【"Bruno said you are an annoying kid. If it weren't for you, he would have already captured the giant Onix of Mt. Miya," Lorelei didn't mean to keep secrets for Bruno and told Ash everything about Bruno's complaints about him.】

Bruno: "Hey, Lorelei, aren't you being too unloyal? I thought you were someone who could keep secrets!!!"】

【The him in the parallel world trusted her so much, and that's how she repaid him?】

Lorelei: "Did I ever say my mouth was tight? Never!"】

Lance: "Alright, alright, stop arguing, don't let outsiders make a joke of us."】

【After learning that Ash and the others had come to the Orange Archipelago specifically to find her, Lorelei wasn't stingy and gave them three VIP tickets directly.】

【VIP tickets not only allowed them to listen to the lecture in the front row, but after the lecture, they could also challenge her.】

【Three days later, the lecture was held as scheduled. At the symposium, Lorelei shared her insights on Ice-type Pokémon one by one, basically without any reservations.】

【After a symposium, Ash and Misty also benefited a lot.】

【After the symposium ended, it was time for the challenge.】

【The challengers, under the arrangement of the organizers, began to challenge Lorelei one by one. The rules of the challenge were one-on-one; once a Pokémon fainted, the match was declared over.】

【Ash and Misty's challenge seats were arranged at the end. Before the challenge officially started, they had enough time to observe Lorelei's Pokémon.】

【Dewgong, Slowbro, Cloyster—the Pokémon Lorelei used were all Pokémon common in the Kanto region. Basically, there was no difficulty in obtaining them.】

【The Pokémon used were the most ordinary Pokémon, but this didn't mean Lorelei's strength was also ordinary.】

【Being able to firmly occupy a seat in the Elite Four in Kanto, where strong people are as common as clouds, and even firmly suppressing Lance in the Elite Four position, Lorelei's strength is absolutely top-tier.】

【After continuous battles, the audience went from discussing whether the challengers could defeat Lorelei to how many minutes the challengers could last in Lorelei's hands.】

【Currently, the one who lasted the longest in Lorelei's hands was a girl in a short skirt; her Gyarados lasted a full six minutes in Lorelei's hands.】

【"It's my turn to go up," Misty took a deep breath. Her heart was still thumping non-stop.】

【To let Misty calm down, Ash gave Misty a hug before she went on stage. Ash originally hoped his hug would calm Misty down, but what he didn't expect was that after being hugged by him, Misty's heart beat even faster.】

【It backfired.】

【Ash smiled helplessly.】

【Fortunately, Misty's self-regulation ability was good. When she was in the audience, her heart was about to jump out of her body, but after arriving at the battle seat, she calmed down instantly.】

【The messy thoughts were all thrown behind her by Misty; she now only had one voice in her head, and that was battle.】

【Before the match started, Misty carefully checked all the Poké Balls. After ensuring that Psyduck wouldn't jump out for no reason, Misty started sending her Pokémon onto the field.】

【"I'm counting on you, Kingdra."】

【After much deliberation, Misty finally chose Kingdra.】

【Kingdra is definitely the strongest Pokémon in Misty's hands. The only thing Misty regretted was that today's battle field wasn't a water battle field, and she couldn't bring out Kingdra's full strength.】

【"Kingdra, is it? Then the Pokémon I will use is this one. Go, Dewgong."】

【This was already the sixth match that Lorelei's Dewgong had appeared in. It could be seen that Dewgong was already a little tired.】

【"There's a chance, Dewgong is the Pokémon Lorelei has used the most in battle. Misty has a chance," Brock said excitedly in the audience.】

【It's not that easy. Ash didn't think Misty had a chance to win. Even if Lorelei's Dewgong was already showing signs of fatigue, its strength was still not something Misty's Kingdra could compare to.】

Lance: "It's the first time I've seen Misty's Kingdra in battle. I don't know how many rounds it can last against Lorelei's Dewgong."】

Wallace: "A few rounds? Then you underestimate Misty's Kingdra too much. It used the dragon scale of a giant Dragonite for evolution. Its strength and talent are trustworthy."】

Drake: "So what? Battles aren't just about the strength of the Pokémon; the trainers on both sides aren't on the same level."】

Glacia: "The words are rough but the meaning is true. Misty is only 9 years old now, and not everyone is Dark Ash."】

Brawly: "It should be a brutal beating."】

【The audience in the arena was seeing such a large Kingdra for the first time, and they couldn't help but exclaim.】
