Chapter 220: The Kiss of Latias, the Sister of the Water Capital!

Latios saw his sister having fun playing with Ash, and it also signaled to Pikachu to play together with Pikachu.

The real sister Karn apologized to Ash for earlier thinking he was a thief, and also told him that she and her people guard this mysterious garden, which is used to welcome Latios and Latias.

Latios and Latias grew much fonder of Ash, and they specially held a welcome ceremony for him.

After Ash left, the thief sisters Senna and Lian entered the garden at midnight and captured Latios.

Meanwhile, Latias ran out to seek Ash's help.

Latias came to the Poké Ball Center, transformed into human form, and instantly flung herself into Ash's arms.

【Kenan: I feel Latias's affection for Ash is different from that of an ordinary Poké Ball.】

【Cynthia: It's a bit; likely Ash's childlike heart toward Poké Ball made Latias sense it and take a liking to him, just like with Bulbasaur.】

【Gardenia: Ash's affinity with legendary beasts is truly enviable; I've never seen so many legendary Poké Ball, and Ash, after traveling only a short time, has already encountered such legendary Poké Ball.】

Just like Bulbasaur, this Poké Ball can also turn into human form... Serena felt a bit weird about Latias and Ash's intimate actions, as she and Ash had never played like that before.

With Ash, his emotional intelligence toward Poké Ball is high, but toward girls it's low.

He was jealous of a Poké Ball for the first time.

The thief sisters Senna and Lian trapped Latios in a barrier, deciphered the method of operating the Cathedral Machine, and everyone worked together to rescue the dying Latios from the device, but the evil Senna touched the Heart's Water Drop, causing it to shatter.

The device reactivated, and the city's waterways rushed at extreme speed toward the sea, a huge tsunami looming.

Latios rushed out to quell the tsunami, sacrificing himself and turning into a Heart's Water Drop, resolving the crisis.

Seeing her brother sacrifice himself, Latias was heartbroken and lay on Ash's chest.

Ash gently cared for it.

After resolving the crisis, Ash and his companions prepared to leave the Water Capital.

Karn hurried over from afar, tightly holding a painting.

When Karn finally stood before Ash, her expression showed both urgency and barely concealed joy; her bright eyes seemed to speak, conveying countless words. Without many words, she simply smiled and gently handed the painting to Ash.

At that moment, she seemed to muster all her courage, stepped forward, and left a light kiss on Ash's cheek.

A flash of surprise crossed Ash's face, then turned into an indescribable emotion.

Everything around blurred, except for Karn's warm, steadfast gaze, which left a deep impression in his heart.

Meanwhile, Xiaoxia on the nearby boat captured the scene; her eyes widened, her round pupils filled with disbelief.

Her hands, which had been tightly clutching Celebi, loosened involuntarily from shock, causing Celebi to slip onto her big white leg, but Xiaoxia seemed not to notice at all, she just stared straight at Karn and Ash, her emotions surging like turbulent waves, complex and indescribable.

Seeing this, Brock was frightened into turning around, his hand gripping the ship's rail unconsciously tightening, his eyes full of surprise.

Pikachu just watched, obedient and curious.

Finally, Karn left, leaving Ash staring blankly at her retreating back.

Moments later, Ash opened the painting to see that it depicted him and Pikachu.

Ash gave a knowing smile!

【Xiaomao: Ash is completely dazed, with no reaction at all!】

【Cherry Blossom: Not to mention Ash, even Xiaoxia was frightened; she never expected that girl to run over and kiss her brother-in-law, catching everyone off guard.】

【Iris: I thought Karn was just sending a farewell gift; who knew it was a sneak kiss!】

【Karn: That wasn't me!】

Karn came out to explain, and everyone became even more surprised.

The Karn who came out of the White Light Curtain to see off Ash wasn't really human; then the one who turned into Karn must be... Latias, right?

That's even more explosive!

【Cynthia: Without her hat, when Latias turned into Karn, her gaze at Ash was always gentle; this Karn is Latias, who likes Ash a lot. Ash is leaving the Water Capital, and she must guard the Water Capital, so she can only give him a drawing.】

【Gardenia: Mmm, envious, Latias sister is so attached to Ash.】

【Kenan: Ash's charm is too great; most girls who travel or interact with him have good feelings toward him but just don't say it; Poké Ball also likes Ash, Bulbasaur, Latias... they all directly express it.】

【Dante: First time seeing a legendary Poké Ball so fond of a trainer; this Light Screen exposing Ash really opened my eyes; in terms of bond with Poké Ball, nobody can compare to Ash, truly legendary!】

【Ash: Haha, no, I've also met many trainers who love Poké Ball on my journeys; they love Poké Ball just as much as I do!】

It seems Latias is even more proactive than me... Xiaoxia's mind is a mess; after traveling with Ash for so long, she still hasn't managed to express her feelings to him.

The Cherry Blossom trio saw their youngest sister's thoughtful expression and went over to talk to her.

"This, I also don't know......"

Facing Serena's doubtful gaze, Ash also didn't know what to say; Latias is alone in the Water Capital, her brother gone, she must be lonely.

This time when we go back, let's go see it; if possible, see if it wants to travel together.

Latias is so brave; then I should be brave too... Serena was stimulated by Latias and decided to act like Latias.

Come on!

Serena, you can do it!
