Chapter 234: First Meeting Hoopa!

After Sansiejin, who had been promoted to section chief, learned that Lushaminai's information source was Ash,

Although no news indicated that anything major was happening in Wasteland City,

but he still immediately led people to the scene.

The several informants lying in wait near Mialei Publishing quickly reported the news,

The result was……

Because of Ash's explanation, all the big and small newspapers and TV stations in Kalos sprang into action.

Following Sansiejin, a mighty crowd headed for Wasteland City.

……

On Ash's side,

His body fell from a height of over two meters, and Ash barely managed to steady himself.

Hoopa then gave him a close-up slap,

"Weren't you scared?!"

"I was indeed scared."

Ash nodded in deep agreement,

But the fear he spoke of was not because of Hoopa in front of him,

but rather……rice bowl.

"Hehe."

Ash's answer satisfied Hoopa, who happily flew up to Ash,

pointing at the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

"This, Hoopa is seeing it for the first time!"

"You mean Pikachu? There are quite a few Pikachu living in the central area of Kalos."

"Right, I'm Ash. What's your name?"

"Ash! Pika!" he repeated the person and pet's names in an awkward accent, and Hoopa's eyes darted,

"Hoopa is called Hoopa!"

At the same time, he drove the golden rings on his two horns to fly up automatically, and golden light appeared,

Soon, one Pikachu after another leapt out from it,

Desert Oasis Pokemon Center,

The Mew disguised as a Pikachu was preparing to release psychic power to search for Ash,

Before him, a light ring also appeared.

In doubt,

Mew dove through the portal.

Leaving Serena and her companions, who wanted to follow in but ended up grasping at air.

The little square in Wasteland City, rarely visited by people,

"Pika pi~"

"Pi pikachu~"

"Pika pikachu~"

Accompanied by the appearance of one Pikachu after another,

Soon, Ash and his Pikachu were submerged in an ocean made up of Pikachu.

"Ash Ash, which one is Ash's Pikachu?"

Hoopa grinned mischievously as he approached Ash,

and said his true purpose for doing this.

Such a petty trick could naturally not be hidden from Ash, who possessed Waveguide Power and a data panel.

"It's this one."

Ash directly scooped up the Pikachu that was disguising as Mew,

"Pikagod: ……"

"Hehehehehe!"

Hoopa immediately burst into laughter,

"Ash guessed wrong!"

After teasing the two little ones, Ash reached out and scooped up Pikagod, saying "And this one too!"

"Guessed right, both were guessed correctly……"

In an instant, the laughing Hoopa froze, facing Ash's mischievous expression,

knowing Ash was teasing him,

Hoopa immediately pursed his lips, lay on the ground crying weakly, and waved his hands like raindrops densely striking the ground.

Quite like the manner of little fists pounding your chest,

Mew curiously examined the little guy whose mindset had exploded before him, his big eyes full of curiosity.

At the same time, he glanced sideways toward a certain spot,

A girl in a white robe with braided hair came running, holding a freshly bought doughnut.

From afar,

seeing the ground full of Pikachu, the girl clenched her fists.

"Hoopa!!!"

The girl frowned and glared at Hoopa,

「You're causing trouble again, aren't you!? Quickly send them back! 」

Little Hoopa seemed to know the visitor, and in one word revealed the other's name.

「May~」

「Hurry and send them back, or I won't give you any donuts! 」

Looking down at the Pikachu covering the ground, little Hoopa showed a troubled expression.

「Pika-pika~」

The enthusiastic Pikachu god stepped forward, helping to direct the Pikachu to obey.

「Now then, Hoopa, send them back. 」

「Alright, leave it to Hoopa! 」

As Ash reminded,

Upon reacting, Hoopa immediately commanded the obedient ring to open the portal, sending the wild Pikachu back the way they came.

After settling the Pikachu disturbance,

May walked over, looking doubtfully at Ash and the two Pikachu.

「By the way, who are you! 」

While speaking,

May's gaze lingered briefly on Ash's muscular body, a flash of shyness crossing her face.

「My name is Ash, and these are my partners, the Pikachu. 」

「My name is May, and this is the Hoopa I'm taking care of. 」

The two introduced themselves,

Ash told May the whole story of how he had accidentally been transported here after his donuts were stolen.

「I'm really sorry, Hoopa has caused you trouble. 」

May's reaction, compared to those enthusiastic fans, was indeed overly calm.

However,

Ash thought that the other party seemed to have always lived in the valley, not knowing much about outside events,

not knowing him was therefore not surprising.

「Hey Hoopa! My partners must be worried about me right now; could you please send them over? 」

「No problem! Leave it to Hoopa! 」

Hoopa patted his chest,

The golden ring suddenly expanded, and Ash tentatively probed it.

The next moment,

Ash's figure instantly appeared at the Pokemon Center in the Desert Oasis.

Yurie and the thumping mouse first saw Ash,

「Eh! Ash! 」

「Clang-clang~」

「Where is Ash? 」

From afar, Ash heard Serena's and Tierno's voices,

Whoosh!

Nana's figure instantly appeared beside Ash and Yurie,

「Remember to come along, Nana! 」

Ash reached out and grabbed Yurie's hand,

He pulled her straight to Desert City,

Nana closely followed, flying through the portal, curiously surveying everything around.

During this time,

Ash entered the portal again,

His little leather boots made a pat-pat-pat sound on the wooden board,

A brown-haired Serena, wearing a black undershirt, pink inner layer, and a red backless outer jacket with a red hat, quickly ran over.

Ash also brought Serena, Tierno, Diancie, Snivy, and Clemont along.

Lastly was the spatial backpack placed on the bench at the Pokemon Center.

Opening the spatial backpack,

Taking out a tent and setting it up, Ash went inside to change clothes.

During this process,

Serena and the others looked around,

Looking at the nearby landmark building, they couldn't help but look astonished.

「Eh? Desert City! 」

「This aura is…… 」

Clemont pushed up his glasses, his eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.

「Aren't you scared! 」

Hoopa's childish voice echoed in everyone's minds,

「This is Hoopa's exclusive ability! 」

Ash had just walked out of the tent when he heard Clemont say,

「By the way, I was about to get a drink, I'm so thirsty~ I want a cup of ice-cold water! 」

Yurie was like a good kid answering the teacher's question in class, raising her right hand,

「Yurie also wants water! 」

「Okay, water~ water~ water~」

Hoopa cheered excitedly,

Casually taking off the golden ring hanging from his head, he moved it above everyone's heads and enlarged it several times!

This scene appeared, making May and Ash Mind simultaneously feel an ominous premonition.

「Hoopa, stop quickly! 」」

「Don't……, quickly leave that place! 」

Ash quickly rushed over, reached out to push Nana's waist floating in the air, and shoved her flat out,

He reached out to take Serena and Tierno's hands, and with his gaze signaled Diancie Clemont Yurie to follow.

Diancie, who could already blindly trust Ash, had no doubt, and quickly hopped along, following him out.

Only Clemont and Yurie stood frozen in place,

For a moment they didn't react, wondering what was going on.

The next moment,

The water in the Pokemon Center pool in the desert oasis,

was completely sucked away by the ring,

like a torrential flood bursting forth, it poured down, completely submerging the two siblings.

When the water flow completely disappeared,

The siblings, together with the Rattata, were all drenched to the bone, sitting dazedly on the ground.

「Huff~」

「We survived! 」
