Chapter 56

Paul was almost laughed to anger, defeated opponent!

Didn't I just lose to you once in the tournament, is it necessary to remember it for so long!

Before this, my win rate against you was 100%!

"Don't worry about these details." Ash waved his hand with a smile.

Being able to see Paul, Ash is still very happy.

"How have you been lately, have you won any championships?" As he said this, Ash also showed off the championship trophy he had just won in the Water Gun Racing Competition without leaving a trace.

Hard, Paul's fist hardened.

What is wrong with this guy!

He was so passionate when he was in Sinnoh, why is he so annoying now!

"I didn't win any championships, but I've prepared to apprentice under Mr. Brandon, and if nothing goes wrong, I will take over Mr. Brandon's job in the future."

Paul calmed his mood and said.

"Mr. Brandon of the Battle Pyramid? He is also my defeated opponent, although Regice is quite powerful, I am still better."

Paul was completely speechless!

You kid (Husky person. GPJ!)

Watching the two bickering, the smile in Koharu's eyes became more obvious.

It seems she was overthinking it.

Not all of Ash's companions in every region are girls!

After saying goodbye to Paul, Ash and Koharu boarded the plane back to Vermilion City.

They were originally planning to return to Galar.

As a result, Professor Cerise made an urgent phone call.

"Ash, come quickly! Ho-Oh has appeared!"

【Brandon: Why! Why am I just a background character!】

【Flint: Don't cry, Mr. Brandon, am I not also a background character?】

【Steven: Speaking of which, Mr. Brandon and this Paul look so much alike.】

【Bruno: Champion Steven noticed it too? I wanted to say it just now, looking at their appearance, I thought they were father and son.】

【Reggie: Don't talk nonsense, Paul and I definitely have nothing to do with Mr. Brandon.】

【Cynthia: Regice, I didn't expect Ash to be able to defeat Regice. Does Ash also have the power to defeat gods?】

As a myth researcher, Cynthia knows the combat power of various legendary Pokémon best.

Regice, the Iceberg Pokémon, is one of the three legendary titans created by Regigigas.

And Mr. Brandon is a famous god-worshiper in the Hoenn region.

The combination of these two actually lost to Ash.

Cynthia has one more point of curiosity about Ash.

……

In the footage—

After returning to Vermilion City, the two returned to the Cerise Laboratory for the first time.

Upon seeing Koharu, Professor Cerise immediately asked about her well-being.

It has only been a few days.

His daughter, who had always been by his side, suddenly left, making him very uncomfortable.

Especially with Ash, who is very cheerful and sunny, by his daughter's side.

As an old father, Professor Cerise is truly a bit panicked.

This is also the reason why he wants to call them back every few days.

"Professor Cerise, have you really discovered the traces of Ho-Oh?" Ash doesn't do these empty things.

Upon seeing Professor Cerise, he immediately asked the question he cared about most.

This is Ho-Oh, Ash himself hasn't seen it many times.

"Yes, I heard an old man discovered it, look, I even have a photo here."

As he spoke, Professor Cerise reluctantly let go of his hand holding Koharu.

He took out his Rotom Phone and retrieved a picture from it.

Ash took it and glanced at it.

Instantly, Ash's entire brow furrowed.

How should I put it, this is hard to evaluate.

Perhaps others didn't see anything wrong.

After all, this is just a shadow in the sky.

But Ash, who has truly seen Ho-Oh, saw at a glance that this is a Fearow cosplaying as Ho-Oh.

The angle on the light screen also happens to be able to see the photo in the phone.

【Lance: Why does this Ho-Oh look so strange? Why do I feel like it looks a bit like a Fearow?】

【Pryce: It's quite good, if you don't look closely, it really looks like it.】

【Ash: It is indeed very strange, it feels different from the Ho-Oh I've seen, but I can't say what's wrong?】

【Gary: Ash, have you really seen Ho-Oh?】

【Ash: I already said it before, I met Ho-Oh on the edge of Viridian Forest on the first day I went out!】

【Gary:!!!】

【Bruno: This is absolutely true, I've seen a painting of Ho-Oh in a textbook before, and it looks exactly like this photo.】

【Steven: Elite Four Bruno, would you like to think about it again? Is your textbook really the same as this one?】

【Lorelei: Don't worry about him, this stone-headed guy can't figure it out.】

It's just outrageous.

It's fine if others can't see what this is.

Bruno actually couldn't see it.

You are the dual Elite Four of Kanto and Johto!

Lorelei is very depressed, it's really like seeing a ghost.
