Chapter 126: Love‑Brain Battle Triggered by the Squad!

Back at the resort, Gua Gua Bubble Frog Villa.

Ash, Serena, Tierno, Xiao Guang, Clemont, and Yurie were all present.

In the living room, Pikachu, Dondong Mouse, and Fire Fox were chasing each other, while the Kouga ninja frog and the battle bird were arm‑wrestling.

Ha Li Li tiptoed to the oven, quietly stole Serena's newly made soufflé, and hid in a corner to eat it.

The fierce Arrow Eagle, with eagle eyes, noticed Ha Li Li's little move, approached the corner calmly, and opened its mouth to demand a sealing fee.

The beautiful shiny Sandslash, dressed in a black‑and‑white maid outfit, was brewing coffee in the kitchen for everyone.

Diancie, like a living pink diamond, pressed her obedient hands against her skirt, standing beside the shiny Sandslash and earnestly learning.

Soon the coffee was ready,

The shiny Sandslash placed the brewed coffee into two trays and carried them to the table where everyone was seated.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, Sandslash, you're really beautiful!"

"I want Sandslash too!"

"Wow! It's a shiny Sandslash! I just realized there's also this one… looks like a living big pink diamond! It's so beautiful!"

Amid the thanks, Xiao Guang shouted in surprise!

This scene made Tierno feel Xiao Guang's lively, cheerful personality, and the pressure in her mind suddenly lessened a lot.

It's great that there's no scheming.

At the same time, from Xiao Guang's surprise, Tierno also thought of herself the day before.

Back then, when she first saw Diancie and the shiny Sandslash, it was almost the same!

"Speaking of which, Ash, I previously saw the photos and videos of shiny Lurantis and shiny Kyllian posted by Sister Xiao Ju, they were really beautiful!!! Could it be this one?"

"You're right!" Ash nodded,

The shiny Sandslash also cooperated, performing a graceful spin in front of everyone,

the black‑and‑white maid dress's skirt fluttered in the wind, and its white jade feet gave everyone a completely novel experience.

"Beautiful, beautiful!"

"So pretty, Sandslash!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Xiao Guang nodded, "Indeed, but why wasn't Sandslash photographed?"

Ash laughed and explained, "It's because Sandslash can Mega Evolve; Xiao Ju plans to photograph both together. Mega Evolution requires the trainer to be present, and I can't go to the Union, so she has to adjust her schedule to come over. She should be able to make it after a while."

"So that's why!"

The Sandslash topic came to a close,

then everyone turned to discuss the lodging issue.

Serena: "Xiao Guang can stay at Gua Gua Bubble Frog Villa!"

"Hm?"

"What a great thing!"

Xiao Guang looked in surprise at the tea‑colored long‑haired girl beside her, a beautiful‑faced, slender‑waisted, red‑skirted, black‑stocking beauty.

Meeting Xiao Guang's surprised gaze,

Serena smiled sweetly,

"Because Ash and I can share a room!"

This answer completely caught Xiao Guang off guard,

She only knew Serena had gotten the first kill, but never expected them to openly reveal their relationship,

Now wouldn't they be together every day?

"Ugh!!!"

Xiao Guang's face flushed bright red, and a wisp of white steam drifted out from under her white knit hat.

At the same time,

Trying to imagine herself as Serena, Xiao Guang's heart was also filled with nervousness and deep shyness.

Would doing this really not attract odd looks from travel companions?

Subconsciously,

Xiao Guang glanced at Clemont, Yurie, and Tierno nearby,

Result: besides Tierno's cheeks being rosy and cute,

Clemont and Yurie showed no reaction, as if it were normal.

"Is habit becoming nature?"

Xiao Guang muttered,

"Eh? Xiao Guang, what are you saying!"

"Ah! My mouth!"

Realizing she had unintentionally spoken her inner thoughts, Xiao Guang felt embarrassed and quickly covered her mouth with both hands.

She swiftly changed the subject.

"No problem, no problem! I mean I can stay at Gua Gua Bubble Frog Villa, and meeting you again, Ash, is wonderful."

Yurie, looking like a little adult, suddenly lit up with excitement.

"Yes, yes! Xiao Guang sis, don't worry, it's totally fine for me to live with my brother."

Ash couldn't help glancing at Yurie again; the little brat was becoming less secretive about her feelings.

"By the way, Ash, now that everyone's here, we can decide the squad matters, right?"

Clemont clenched his fists, full of fighting spirit.

"Since it's a match, we must give it our all! I definitely won't lose!!!"

As Clemont's words fell, Tierno's eyes instantly sparkled with brilliance.

After experiencing last night's discovery,

Serena and Ash's familiarity made Tierno already feel pressure, and now Xiao Guang's arrival only intensified Tierno's sense of urgency.

It can be foreseen,

the time I spend beside Ash will be further squeezed.

For Tierno, it's impossible to accompany Ash at night, so I can only hope for daytime.

During the day, because of the team split, everyone can't stay together, so…

I must be on the same team as Ash!

"Huh? Team split? What's that?"

Facing Xiao Guang's confusion, Serena patiently explained it in detail.

"Oh, I see. Ash, we haven't seen each other in a long time—let's be on the same team!"

While speaking,

Xiao Guang actively linked arms with Ash.

Seeing this, Serena's sapphire-like eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise!

Is this her taking the initiative to attack?

At the same time, she eagerly looked toward Tierno on Ash's other side.

Not disappointing Serena, Tierno likewise reached out both arms to encircle Ash's arm.

"Me too—I came from Unova to Kalos just to see Ash, and since we're both on probation, we have even more reason to stay together."

Good good good!

Serena's eyes lit up; this move first mentioned coming from Unova to Kalos, showing she too came from far away.

At the same time, she also brought up the probation period,

1+1>2, this round is undoubtedly in Tierno's favor.

So how will Xiao Guang counterattack?

Serena couldn't help but eagerly look toward the cute girl from distant Sinnoh.

Xiao Guang's side,

Although I don't know what Tierno means by "probation period",

but I understood the first half of Tierno's words,

so I quickly prepared a counterplan.

"Coming from Unova to Kalos was just to see Ash; now that you've seen him, your wish is fulfilled.

Unlike me, who just arrived, let me be on the same team as Ash."

Ash, who constantly watched the three girls' performances, loved the excitement and didn't mind the fuss,

immediately clapped excitedly.

"Good good good! You all have reasons to be with me—why not just the two of you team up with me?"

Serena, who was eating melon and watching the drama, "Meow meow meow???"

What the heck is happening?!
