Pokémon: New Ash, Starting from Hoenn

"By the way, I'll give this back to you!" Serena suddenly took out a blue handkerchief from her pocket, with a Poké Ball pattern printed on the corner of the handkerchief, "I've always wanted to wash it and give it back to you, but I missed the chance, thank you!"

When Serena's knee was injured, Xiaozhi used this handkerchief to bandage Serena, encouraged her to stand up, and successfully found the team by holding her hand.

For so many years, the handkerchief has been well preserved by Serena.

"Never give up until the last moment, I always remember this sentence!" Serena handed the handkerchief to Xiaozhi, "When I was watching the Land Shark incident on TV before, I happened to see you appear on TV, so I started looking for you!"

Xiaozhi smiled and put the handkerchief away, nodded slightly to Serena, and then said goodbye to Miss Violet and Miss Pansy.

"I hope you can discover more Pokémon through the camera lens in the future, and there are many appearances that have never been shown to you!" Miss Violet also sincerely wished Xiaozhi, "Please cultivate your bond with Pokémon while continuing to work hard!"

Xiaozhi naturally agreed. Miss Pansy knew that Xiaozhi wanted to continue to challenge the gym, so she suggested, "Xiaozhi, you should go to the next Pokémon gym next. In this case, the Haruka Gym in Haruka City should be a good choice!"

"Haruka Gym? I know!"

After saying goodbye to the two, Xiaozhi brought everyone to the Pokémon Center to treat the Fletch and the Incinerator who had just finished the battle.

When Miss Joy took over Xiaozhi's Poké Ball, Serena suddenly said, "Miss Joy, when did you leave the Pokémon Center on Route 4 and arrive here faster than me?"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi realized that Sally was a new trainer who had just set out, and Miss Joy also took out a group photo and explained with a smile, "I think the Joy you are talking about should be my cousin Joy!"

"This is a group photo of the Joy Training Club in the Kalos region!"

"It feels really amazing!" Looking at the group photo in front of her, Serena quickly accepted the reality, "By the way, please check my Pokémon too!"

As she said that, she summoned Fire Fox.

"It's Fire Fox from the Kalos region's Fire-type Starter Pokémon. You got it from Dr. Blatano, right!" Xiaozhi smiled and touched Fire Fox's head. Fire Fox did not resist, but rubbed Xiaozhi's hand affectionately.

After the Pokémon recovered, they just left the Pokémon Center. Xiaozhi looked at Serena and asked, "By the way, Serena, what are your plans for the future?"

"Me? That..."

Hearing Xiaozhi's question, Serena was stunned and hesitant, not knowing what to say.

She decided to travel in order to meet Xiaozhi, but now Xiaozhi has met her, but what is her next goal?

After a moment of silence, Serena said, "So, after I got Firefox, I had no idea what to do next!"

Seeing this, Xiaozhi smiled and invited, "Is that so? It's okay. You can think about it slowly! Then do you want to travel with us? Maybe the trip will tell you everything you want!"

Hearing Xiaozhi's invitation, Serena was a little overwhelmed.

"That's right, let's travel together!" Yulijia also ran over and held her hand with joy, "It will definitely be fun!"

Pikachu and the others also nodded in agreement.

Serena looked into Xiaozhi's eyes and made up her mind. She winked playfully and said, "Well, it's not bad to go with you guys!"

Hytron also nodded with a smile, "That's fun!"

"By the way, Xiaozhi, you guys are going to go to the Haruka Gym, right!" Serena suddenly thought of Xiaozhi's next goal, "Since we are going to the Haruka Gym..."

"Clang~" Serena took out the electronic map and said, "We are now in the White Sandalwood Gym, with Miare City in the middle. This is Haruka, so we must go back to Miare City before we can go there!"

Serena excitedly pulled Xiaozhi's arm and ran forward, "The timing is just right. I have always wanted to go shopping in Miare City. There are clothing stores selling cute clothes and delicious desserts!"

"Since we have decided, let's go!"

Hearing that there are desserts, Yulijia also began to drool and chased after them with joy, leaving only Hitron chasing after them breathlessly.

Carlos's travel team finally arrived at this moment.

——————————

Returning to Miare City, Xiaozhi and his party did notInstead of taking Route 4, they chose Route 22 on the other side.

This road was very strange. It was not a forest trail like Route 4 before, but a mountain road dug out of the forest by humans, with thick trees growing diagonally on both sides.

But at this moment, a violent shock came from not far ahead. Xiaozhi's eyes immediately focused and the power of waveguide was released instantly.

They found that there were a large number of Pokémon and humans rushing towards this side in front, and soon revealed the true face of Lushan. It was a team of armored rhinos riding at high speed under the humans. They also had numbers on their bodies. They should be having some kind of competition. Xiaozhi and his group accidentally stepped into this track.

"Not good!" As soon as Serena exclaimed, Xiaozhi's superpowers had covered everyone, and the instant movement was activated, and in a blink of an eye, he appeared under a tree next to him.

The armored rhinoceros immediately passed by everyone quickly.

Serena finished her words, "It's the Armored Rhino Race. We must have entered the track by mistake! Thank you, Xiaozhi!"

This is what Serena did every day before she went out to travel, so she was very clear about it.

At this time, Miss Junsha also came to them on a motorcycle and quickly recognized Xiaozhi, "Investigator Xiaozhi, why are you here?"

"We plan to go back to Miare City from here. It seems that we have disturbed the competition?" Xiaozhi scratched his head embarrassedly.

After Miss Junsha learned about the general situation, she was also relieved. Fortunately, there was no danger.

Then, under the leadership of Miss Junsha, Xiaozhi and his party came to the scene of the competition. Now it is very lively here!
