Pokémon: Ash's Journey to Mastery

Serena brought the two elves to the beach and watched the dusk fall.

At this moment, a hand patted her shoulder. Serena did not turn around to see who it was, but quickly wiped her eyes that were about to shed tears with her arm.

"It's okay, Serena. I saw that your performance was wonderful. Although it wasn't perfect, it was already amazing for a newcomer like you. After all, this was only your first time participating in such a competition."

This person is Xiaozhi. At this time, no one else will come except him.

After being comforted by Xiaozhi, Serena started crying.

"Xiaozhi... I didn't... I..." Serena stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence, and tears kept falling from her cheeks, and she couldn't stop.

"If you want to cry, just cry loudly. After all, this is how competition works. There are winners and losers. If you lose, you will definitely feel unhappy. Try to win next time."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Xiaozhi's words seemed to touch something, making Serena cry even harder.

Serena hugged Xiaozhi in an instant, and her tears flowed to the ground uncontrollably.

Xiaozhi reached out his hand and gently patted Serena on the back.

Xiaozhi didn't expect Serena to be so sad, even more so than he thought.

Maybe it has something to do with the expectations and training I’ve put in during this period of time.

The more obsessed you are with victory, the more regretful you will be about failure.

"Firefox."

"Just right."

Fire Fox and Naughty Panda also looked at the sad Serena with concern.

Serena didn't know how long she cried before she stopped, and Xiaozhi's clothes were wet with her tears.

After crying, Serena recovered for a while and said in a very low voice: "What happened just now..."

"I didn't see or hear anything, right Pikachu." Xiaozhi understood and said immediately.

"Pikachu." Pikachu nodded in agreement with a serious look on his face.

Hearing this, Serena slowly left Xiaozhi's arms.

There were still some tears on her pretty face. Looking at Serena like this, Xiaozhi couldn't help but blush.

……

Yashio was sitting in a luxury car, watching this scene, and couldn't help but think of Serena's performance just now.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. This is the first time I feel this way. I am a challenger, and today I finally stand at the starting line of my dream." Serena said firmly after she recovered.

Then he took out a box from his backpack, opened it, and took out a pair of scissors.

Thinking about the experiences during this period, Serena's hair disappeared little by little in the sea breeze.

……

A woman in the luxury car asked Yashio

Master Yashio, did you find anything?"

"Secret."

……

Serena and Satoshi returned to the Pokémon Center hand in hand, and Satoshi showed the brother and sister their new looks and clothes, which scared them.

Serena tied a blue ribbon in front of her body and said it was a gift from Xiaozhi.

The four of them smiled and headed towards Miare City.

During this process, Slimy Baby successfully evolved into Slimy Beauty in the wilderness.

……

"As long as we cross here, we will be very close to Miare City." Salina said while looking at the illustrated book in her hand.

Xitron walked behind him, panting, took a breath, and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Well, are you okay? Citron."

Hearing this, Xitron couldn't help but think of the agreement he had made with Xiaozhi.

"Once we get to Miare City, I'll give you another good fight."

"Well, of course," Hitlon said firmly.

Seeing that it was almost time, the three of them took out the table and prepared to eat, while Xitron cooked.

"I'm hungry." Xiu Lijia urged.

"Just wait a little longer."

"That's it." Serena said as she looked at the bright table in front of her after wiping it.

At this moment, Hitron was thinking in his heart: "Xiaozhi, remember our agreement? Ever since I met you, I have been learning from you. Is it really okay for me to fight just as a gym leader? Do I really have the strength to match it?" At the same time, he recalled Xiaozhi's various operations.

I didn't even notice that the food was burning.

I continued to think in my mind, "As a gym leader, I should at least give Xiaozhi some..."

"Hey, brother is confused." Xiu Lijia noticed something and shouted.

Hearing this, Hitlon became nervous, and the pancake in the pan kept jumping around because of his operation and almost fell to the ground.

……

"Like a moon elf." Xiu Lijia picked up the fork and stabbed the cake, complaining.

∥I’m sorry, Xiu Lijia,” Xitron said embarrassedly, scratching his head.

"This is really unlike Hitlon's style! Are you okay?" Selina asked her companion worriedly.

"I'm thinking of something."

The four of them continued walking as the sun was particularly glaring.

"What is that?" Xiaozhi said, looking at the building in the distance.

"That's the Carlos Power Plant," Citron replied.

"The power station?"

"That was also designed by my brother." Xiu Lijia boasted.

The two of them were surprised.

"I just helped design the program." Hitlon also felt embarrassed.

"It's pretty awesome."

"The Carlos Power Station generates electricity directly from sunlight in space, transmits the electricity to the ground via microwaves, stores it in superconductor rings, and transmits it to the city of Miare." Hitron explained its functions.

"I say we should go a little closer and take a look at the power plant," Serena suggested.

"That's great. Maybe I can capture a rare electric-type Pokémon."

"makes sense."

"Let's go."

……

“It’s like a secret base.”

"Hmm, that's weird, the antenna should normally be pointing upwards," Hitlon said when he noticed something was wrong.

"Can an antenna get hungry?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"do not know."

"Let's go take a look first," Xiaozhi suggested.

Everyone stepped forward, but at this moment, Dongdong Mouse felt an electric current flash across his cheek, and his expression was very uncomfortable. The same was true for Luke Cat. Only Pikachu didn't feel uncomfortable because of his strength.

The four looked at this scene in confusion.

Immediately afterwards, the eyes of Dongdong Mouse and Luke Cat turned red.

Xiaozhi hurriedly used the power of Tokiwa to heal his eyes, and under the green light, his eyes gradually changed from red to normal color.
