Chapter 25

Learning of this, Ash sat up straight with a "swish".

Koharu's situation is very similar to a friend Ash met in Alola.

Lillie also couldn't touch Pokémon because of childhood trauma.

Koharu's situation is a bit different from Lillie's; Lillie couldn't touch Pokémon, but she was willing to get along with Pokémon.

But Koharu is a bit different; Koharu can touch Pokémon; after all, in her account, she can touch her own Yamper.

This is a bit troublesome; it seems to be a psychological problem.

"How could you be afraid of Pokémon? Look, Lugia saved your life today; Pokémon are all very cute lives."

Saying this, Ash also stroked the scales on Lugia's back.

"I don't know." Koharu held her skirt with both hands; her situation was really hard to describe.

"Something happened when I was young; I was abandoned by my companions and attacked by Pokémon... that's why I'm afraid of them."

Lugia controlled the surrounding airflow, letting the warmest possible wind blow past.

Lugia is very gentle.

Ash is also very gentle.

He reached out and touched Koharu's head, even though Koharu is older than Ash.

But now it seems like Ash is an older brother comforting an injured younger sister.

Feeling the gentleness on the top of her head, Koharu's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

She didn't know what was wrong with her today, actually telling the things she had buried in her heart all along.

And telling it to a boy she had only met once.

Koharu secretly looked up at Ash.

Under the sunlight, she could only see Ash's outline; Ash's face was hidden in the shadows.

But it was precisely this that gave Ash a hint of holiness.

Ash reached out his hand toward Koharu.

"Speak it out bravely; only by speaking it out will you feel better."

At this moment, Koharu's eyes were full of Ash's figure.

"Mm."

Just like that, Koharu told the whole story of her encounters at Professor Oak's summer camp back then.

And after hearing Koharu's encounters back then, Ash was very angry.

"Running away alone when encountering danger, this guy named Goh is really too hateful!"

"Pika~"

"Pikachu, you think so too, right?"

"Pika!"

Ash and Pikachu were filled with righteous indignation, both expressing their disdain for Goh's behavior.

"It's okay, it feels better to say it out, and it's all in the past." Ash and Pikachu's angry appearance actually made Koharu, who had told her past experiences, not feel so sad.

Instead, she started to comfort Ash.

Such a sensible Koharu made the audience in the livestream feel even more heartbroken.

And even more angry at Goh's various behaviors.

He almost ruined Koharu's life!

【Lillie: This Goh is too shameless, actually abandoning Koharu and running away alone.】

【Steven: Heh, someone who can even abandon companions, the Hoenn League does not welcome him.】

【Cynthia: Our Sinnoh League is the same; I now announce that the entire Sinnoh League prohibits Goh from entering.】

【Alder: Although I am old, I still have some power; the Unova League agrees with Champion Cynthia's proposal.】

【Diantha: Sister Cynthia's proposal, I naturally have to agree.】

【Leon: Me too! The Galar League does not welcome such people!】

【Professor Kukui: Although we haven't established a league in Alola yet, from now on we will also stand on the same front as everyone else and prohibit Goh from entering.】

【Lance: This makes our Kanto League very embarrassed! Forget it, let him stay in Vermilion City forever; we will definitely not let him go and harm other humans and Pokémon again.】
