Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 163 Black Shadow, Kaito 3 Beauty?

Brock walked ahead, still trying his best to lead the way, while Ash and Dawn, who were already feeling a bit hungry, didn't notice that a figure was cautiously following behind them.

......

"I've got it! That's it!"

Finally, after walking for more than twenty minutes, Xiao Gang suddenly shouted in an excited voice.

Before them was a wide courtyard, and in the center of the courtyard stood a castle-like building.

Unlike the Mori Mansion, this castle exudes grandeur and vitality even from a distance of just a few dozen meters.

The castle was brightly lit, and the courtyard was full of green plants. As they walked around the courtyard, they took a closer look and noticed that all the plants were neatly arranged, indicating that the castle had always been inhabited and maintained.

Unlike the Mori Mansion, which always gives people a strange sense of incongruity.

"Do you really think the people here will let us stay for one night? In TV dramas, people who live in places like this always seem to have strange personalities, right?"

As they walked along the stone path leading to the entrance, Xiao Guang asked this question.

"Well...while there are indeed people like that, they are only a minority. Most people are actually quite friendly. As long as we are sincere enough, they usually—"

"Skin?!"

"boom!"

Before Xiaogang could finish speaking, several huge iron doors suddenly rose from the ground around them with a surprised cry from Pikachu. In the next second, they joined together to form a cage, trapping Xiaozhi and the others inside.

"So... this is what they call friendliness?"

Xiao Guang's eyes became unfocused, and Xiao Gang, who had been slapped in the face by the light, trembled with embarrassment. In the end, he could only laugh awkwardly to cover up his awkwardness.

As the cage closed, the castle gates were slowly pushed open from the inside, and out came a kind-faced old man, followed by a X-ray cat and a young girl who looked remarkably like the young Officer Jenny.

"Hmph! Right, right? I told you that as long as we set a trap here, we could easily catch the three beauties! They were caught in just over half an hour! You really are something else!"

"The Three Beauties of the Phantom Thief"?

"what is this?"

Xiao Gang and Xiao Guang frowned upon hearing such a rustic address, while Xiao Zhi's gaze did not linger on the boastful girl in front of him, but instead turned to a pile of grass at the entrance.

Just a moment ago, when he turned his head, he felt as if he had seen a dark shadow disappear into the bushes, but now there was no movement in the bushes. Had he seen it wrong?

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but think this.

While Ash was distracted, Dawn was still arguing with the young Officer Jenny.

"So how exactly did you figure out we're the so-called Three Beauties of the Phantom Thieves?! Can't you see there are two boys here too?"

"Um...this..."

After the crux of the problem was pointed out, the young Miss Officer Jenny scratched her cheek in distress.

She had already realized that she might have arrested the wrong person, but being proud, she wanted to put on a brave face a little longer, so she said:

"A title is just a title! Who knows if there are actually three women in the 'Three Beauties Phantom Thieves' gang!"

"..."

Xiao Guang covered his head in exasperation.

There's quite a difference between Officer Jenny and her colleagues.

The Officer Jenny I met in Baidai City was just as self-centered, completely ignoring what others were saying.

This young Officer Jenny seems to have a striking resemblance to the Officer Jenny from Hundred City.

Compared to them, Officer Jenny from Tokiwa City is quite capable.

Just as Dawn had given up trying to explain to Officer Jenny, the old man who looked like the castle owner seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked at Ash, then at Dawn, and finally clapped his hands with a hint of surprise, saying:

"I remember now! Aren't you two the hottest duo in the Sinnoh region lately?"

"Um......"

"I think so."

Although the Sinnoh Now reporter had already told them about this title, when the title came out of the mouth of a stranger, the two of them, especially Dawn, always felt a strange sense of shame.

Of course, she's second only to being mistaken for one of the three beautiful phantom thieves!

"Eh?!"

Now it was young Officer Jenny's turn to be greatly shocked.

But when her mistake was already undeniable, she quickly found a suitable excuse.

"Ahem! Indeed, I realized it just now too! You are definitely not the Three Beauties of the Phantom Thieves!"

"..."

Suddenly, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

......

Although she had mistaken the target, Officer Jenny, named Marble, eventually apologized to Ash and his friends, though it was just a gesture of remorse under Xanthius's disdainful gaze.

To express his apology, the castle's owner, Matthew, invited Ash and his friends to stay overnight. Upon learning that Ash and his friends had not yet had dinner, he hurriedly instructed the castle's servants to prepare dinner.

"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect to meet my best partner here. Although I'm getting old now, I couldn't help but get a little excited after seeing your performance at the Fate Tournament and the battle between Chimchar and Chimchar in the Duo Tournament."

At the dinner table, Matthew smiled and expressed his admiration for Ash and Dawn, while Brock went to the kitchen to help out.

'I also participated in the group competition, why...'

It seems that Matthew had no impression of Xiao Gang, which was quite a blow to Xiao Gang.

Although Xiao Gang doesn't really care much about reputation, but!

But!

He thought about it more than once.

Imagine if I were as famous as Ash and Dawn in the Sinnoh region right now!

perhaps!

He only said maybe.

Does he have a chance to find a partner?

Unfortunately, the world is cruel.

"It's mainly because my teammates fought with all their might in the battle, especially in the team battle. If Cyndaquil hadn't persisted and never given up, I wouldn't have been able to defeat Shinji."

Ash was humbly chatting with Matthew, while Dawn, bored, asked Marble a question:

"By the way, I've been wondering about this 'Three Beautiful Phantom Thieves' thing you mentioned."
