Chapter 13

After Chloe left.

Professor Oak arrived leisurely, and seeing the pitch-black Ash, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Ash, if you don't get up, you won't make it to the opening ceremony."

Professor Oak's words were like a quick-acting heart-saving pill.

Whoosh, very fast!

Ash immediately returned to a full-of-energy state.

The body electrocuted black was just shaken a few times, and it returned to normal.

It was impossible to tell that this was the same person as the black charcoal just now!

At this scene, the barrage exploded!

【Mustard: This child has talent, come and learn martial arts with me! Being able to recover from such damage reminds me of an old friend.】

【Leon: Master, the old friend you mentioned wouldn't be Professor Oak, would it!】

【Lt. Surge: Hiss, now that you mention it, I remember! We have always had legends about the Super Pallet Towner.】

【Volkner: Tell me more, I also want to have such strong Electric-type resistance!】

【Cynthia: Tell me about it, I'm also very interested.】

【Professor Oak: *Cough cough*.】

【Lt. Surge: Haha, I'm joking, it's just that Ash is too special; he might possess power we don't know about.】

【Flint: That's it? I thought there would be some high-minded talk; you might as well say Ash is the reincarnation of Raikou, that would be more reliable.】

Hiss, everyone heard this and felt it made a lot of sense.

Otherwise, how could a human be hit by an Electric-type move and be completely unharmed!

Eliminate all impossibilities, the remaining one, no matter how outrageous, is the truth!

Ash! Is a Pokémon!

"Don't! Wait for me!"

The two walked into the Cerise Laboratory like this.

By the time Ash arrived at the Cerise Laboratory, the opening ceremony had already begun.

Ash finally managed to squeeze to the front in the crowd.

What came into view was Professor Cerise who was talking eloquently, and Ash looked left and right.

His gaze happened to meet Chloe's, and Ash smiled shyly.

This made Chloe feel embarrassed; she always felt that the person in front of her looked familiar.

As if she had seen him somewhere before!

Ash's gaze didn't linger too long, instead focusing his attention on Professor Cerise.

No way, Professor Cerise's 【research】 was truly exciting.

But just as Professor Cerise was about to show one of his research results.

A huge exclamation mark occupied the screen in front of Professor Cerise.

Ash was confused; he was still preparing to see what it was.

The surrounding crowd also became restless, their eyes looking at Professor Cerise.

Wanting an explanation.

In front, Professor Cerise's brows were tightly locked, constantly looking for the root of the problem.

Soon, Professor Cerise got the result he wanted.

Professor Cerise licked the corner of his mouth and said in an excited voice:

"A mysterious Pokémon has appeared in Vermilion City; it is now near Vermilion Port. Of course, I cannot confirm its identity!"

Before Professor Cerise could finish speaking, Ash rushed out with a "whoosh".

The word "reckless" runs through his life.

Ash knows how to seize the initiative!

And others, seeing Ash leave, also reacted immediately, rushing toward the exit one after another.

"Professor Oak, I'm going to the port to take a look~"

Only Ash's voice echoed at the scene.

Chloe, seeing this scene, felt instinctively uncomfortable.

"How is this guy the same as that person! It's really annoying!"

Ash's reckless behavior reminded Chloe of some bad memories.

That childhood experience was like a nightmare, constantly reminding Chloe to be cautious in making friends.

If she encountered someone who put others in danger again, Chloe wouldn't be able to stand it!

However, looking at Ash's gradually disappearing back.

Chloe's heart developed a hint of curiosity about Ash, or rather, trust in his character.

Would this boy also abandon her in danger?

Or... would he make a different choice!

Once a seed is planted, it will sprout. Driven by curiosity, Chloe actually chose to follow him out without hesitation.

"Dad, I'm going out for a bit."

Saying this, Chloe chased after him without looking back.

"When did this girl start to be interested in Pokémon? She was clearly terrified before."

Professor Cerise was very puzzled.

Beside him, Professor Oak also came over at this time.

"I'm sorry, Cerise, I didn't look after Chloe well back then, which is why that happened."

However, Professor Oak's expression was extremely wistful.

His Xia Lingying had been held until now, and this was the only incident with Chloe, and because of this, Chloe was no longer willing to be close to Pokémon.

Chloe was even unwilling to become a Trainer.

For this, Professor Oak was very self-blaming.

In this world, ordinary people choose to receive a starter Pokémon at the age of ten and then go on a journey.

Chloe was already fourteen, but she didn't choose to become a Trainer.

Even if she went to school, she still couldn't accept Pokémon.

For this matter, Professor Cerise was worried sick.

But now, things seemed to have a turning point.

Professor Cerise wasn't blind; he naturally noticed the look his daughter gave the boy brought by Professor Oak.

Childhood wounds need to be healed by peers; perhaps that boy could let Chloe walk out of the pain.

"Professor Oak, what is that child's name?" Professor Cerise asked.

"Him?" Professor Oak sighed with emotion, "His name is Ash, he is an amazing child."

……

【Serena: Ash! He is the gentlest person I have ever met. Back then, I participated in Professor Oak's Xia Lingying with him. I accidentally got hurt in the forest, and it was Ash who carried me back!】

【Misty: Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect it, you straight guy actually care about girls?】

【Ash: Some things? I don't remember!】

【Serena: Idiot Ash! I still have the thing you gave me; I will return it to you personally when you arrive in Kalos!】

【Delia: Oh ho ho, I didn't expect my Ash to have girls who like him, it's truly exciting.】

【Serena: Aunt Delia, my name is Serena, this year...】

【Gary: Interrupting, I am Ash's rival!】

Silver Town.

Gary looked at the constantly scrolling barrage, and an indescribable anger spread in his heart.

Ash, you guy, actually have girls who like you!

How is this possible!

"Master Gary, don't be angry, come, eat some grapes~" ===== CHAPTER 14 =====
