Chapter 121: Black Satoshi faces his feelings, the Johto region is coming!

"Congratulations on winning the Orange League's Winner's Cup!"

Yongci handed the trophy to Ash, feeling that nowadays young people have become so strong; he is totally no match, and even his ace yields the same outcome.

Even though it was his second time winning the championship, Ash was still extremely happy and excited.

Professor Oak and the others stepped forward to congratulate them.

"How could we not take a photo to commemorate such an important moment? Come on, let's celebrate together and record it!"

Huazi brought the two girls, her eyes shining with bright light.

Upon hearing Huazi's words, Xiaoxia and Fulala couldn't help but blush slightly, gazing at each other shyly.

They were naturally urged over by Huazi.

The two of them seemed to have agreed beforehand, and without prior discussion chose to stand on either side of Ash, each extending a hand to lightly grasp one of his arms.

To make things easier for Ash, Pikachu was sensible, gripping the trophy with both hands.

Ash felt a bit uncomfortable, but since they wouldn't let go, he had no choice but to accept it.

He released all his Poké Ball, letting them share in the joy of the championship.

Huazi acted as the dedicated photographer, taking photos of Ash and Xiaoxia and the others, and whenever she had time she would join in for a shot herself.

While taking pictures, seeing her son's arms being embraced, she felt happy in her heart, thinking her son still had so much charm.

Thinking back, when Ash was in Professor Oak's training camp, he wasn't playing with an injured little girl; later he made plans to travel together with that girl.

"That girl's name is Shalina."

"Headache......" Huazi covered her forehead with her hand.

【Shalina: Me?】

【Huazi: Uh, that's from the Black World; I'm not entirely clear about Ash's affairs at the summer camp. I asked Ash, but he only remembers Poké Ball matters, many of which he saw on the Light Screen.

In the Black World, Black Satoshi probably brought you along to play and introduced you to me.

That must be it!】

【Ash: Really?】

【Saqi: It should be like that!】

Speaking of which, Ash, you never told your mom about meeting Shalina at the training camp; didn't Shalina leave a deep impression on you?

You haven't, but Shalina......】

【Shalina: Mom, don't say that, you're always talking nonsense.】

【Ash: I do remember; back then I found Shalina by following a Poliwag, but afterwards I hardly saw her, so I just couldn't recall right away.】

At that moment, Ash in Mialeishi did not answer as bluntly and cheerfully as before; he first glanced at Shalina's reaction, then recalled how Black Satoshi speaks to others, and spoke cautiously.

Indeed, I had overlooked Shalina, even the handkerchief I gave her as a child is still kept, and Ash felt a stir in his heart.

Shalina saw the barrage, her face turned red again, and she felt a surge of joy.

How did she turn red like a bubbling teapot again?

Yujia watched Shalina, not quite understanding.

Black World—

After winning the championship, Ash and his group had a meal at the local hotel to celebrate.

After playing for two days, they found a Dragonair herd and resolved the gang that had been capturing Dragonair.

This time Ash ruthlessly returned the Dragonair to its herd, because the Dragonair was still young and suited to live with the group.

The Dragonair was also reluctant, but under Ash's insistence it still returned to the herd.

"We will definitely meet again."

Ash is very familiar with the Dragonair's waveform; later, if he wants to find it, he can search here and will locate it quickly.

Sending off the Dragonair was Ash's reluctant choice, but with Professor Oak around, finding that Dragonair would also be simple.

Watching the Dragonair's departing figure, Ash prepared to return to Pallet Town.

Huazi was very enthusiastic; she not only invited Fulala to visit Pallet Town as a guest, but also hoped she could sample the cuisine at her family's restaurant and, by the way, spend some time playing in the Kanto region.

Fulala said she would go if she had time.

"Won't you travel with us?"

Ash said to Fulala, after Huazi used Xiaomao's matter as an example, Ash began to take more seriously the relationship between Xiaoxia and Fulala.

"No, I still have things to do; I can't be away for too long, but if I have time I'll come find you."

Fulala looked at Ash, her eyes carrying a hint of reluctance.

Not only because of the sentiment of impending separation, but also likely due to the memory of jointly resolving crises with Ash and his friends.

【Xiaomao: Again dragging me into this? How come you're using my affairs to advise Black Satoshi?】

Xiaomao felt utterly innocent, wondering how he ended up taking the bullet.

In other aspects he's no good, but in this regard he can serve as a role model, right?

Xiaomao protested on behalf of his Black World self.

【Huazi: That's pretty good; if you have time, come sit awhile in Pallet Town, my cooking is still not bad.】

Fulala stared at the barrage, her heart pounding violently, wondering if it was calling her over.

Black Satoshi returned to Pallet Town, seeing Brock and a Magic Wall doll at home.

Seeing the friends return, Brock whipped up a feast as if injected with chicken blood.

At the table, everyone made their own decisions.

Xiaojian will stay behind to study under Professor Oak.

Meanwhile, Ash's trio will head to the Johto region to continue their journey, this time to participate in the Silver Conference.

Moreover, on the table there was also the map of the Johto region and information about the Silver Conference that Xiaomao gave.

Attached a note.

【Brock: Black Xiaomao is really thoughtful, even the map and Gym have been marked!】

【Professor Oak: The Xiaomao over there still has the same personality; obviously cares about Ash, yet shows a disdainful look, silently helping in the dark, caring.】

【Xiaomao: Grandfather, don't talk nonsense, I'm not like that?!】
