Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 169 The Thoughts of the Crowd Before the Shaking Ruins

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?"

Kengo managed to steady himself with the help of the mushroom, and as he spoke, he turned his gaze toward the location of the ruins.

The sudden violent shaking of the ruins successfully interrupted Ash and his friends' battle, and also successfully distracted them.

Is there something wrong inside the ruins?

Looking at the ruins that were shaking violently and from time to time, with explosions emanating from within, Xiao Guang couldn't help but say this with concern.

After a brief pause, Kengo suddenly seemed to remember something, immediately recalled his Breloom into his Poké Ball, and then ran towards Random Town while saying to Ash and the others:

"I'm going to find Miss Officer Jenny!"

Kenjiro made the right choice in the shortest amount of time. While he left to find Officer Jenny for help, Ash stared intently at the ruins in front of him.

He remembered that he seemed to have met Team Rocket here before, which meant that the commotion in the ruins was caused by Team Rocket?

Just as Ash was thinking this, several familiar voices came from the bushes behind him.

"Ah—I thought I could find some treasure here, but what happened?"

"I mean, meow... who would dare go in like this?"

"Hmm...why don't you go in and take a look? You're not afraid of getting buried, are you?"

"So?! Sonams....."

Ash and the others looked at the group that had made the noise, and the group looked back at them.

"The Rockets? What are you doing here?"

Seeing that the people standing there were none other than the Team Rocket trio he was thinking of, Ash said this with a moment of confusion.

"what?"

Musashi questioned this with obvious displeasure.

"What's wrong? Do you own this place? Aren't you going to let us in for a look?"

"That's right! Let me make this clear first, we haven't done anything today! Don't do anything reckless!"

As they spoke, Kojiro and the others began to keep a certain distance from Satoshi.

Normally, they wouldn't mind trying to catch Pikachu here, but not today.

In an hour, Kojiro and Meowth will go to buy supplies, planning to make a good profit at the Random Gathering the day after tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Musashi was busy preparing for her performance at the Casual Tournament and had no time to waste with Ash and the others.

"..."

After hearing his guess easily rejected by Team Rocket, Ash began to speculate on other possibilities.

Although Ash remembered that when he entered the ruins, there seemed to be nothing inside except for Unown, it was impossible for Unown to cause such a commotion without any prior incident.

"Statues of Dialga and Palkia... Could it be?"

A possibility popped into Ash's mind, so he immediately waved to Pikachu and ran towards the ruins while saying to Dawn and Brock behind him:

"I'll go inside and take a look. You all wait for me here!"

"Huh? Okay—"

Dawn was just about to say something to dissuade Ash from such a dangerous act, but before she could finish speaking, Ash had already left on his own.

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

Xiao Guang looked at Xiao Gang with a conflicted expression, his tone completely devoid of confidence.

"It should be...no problem, right?"

Xiao Gang wasn't sure if Xiao Zhi would have any problems. After all, the real big scenes they had seen were much more spectacular than this. Compared to those dangers, the shaking of the ruins was nothing.

But no matter what, danger is still danger. Let alone going deep into the ruins that have started to shake inexplicably, even fighting with some thugs is dangerous. No one can guarantee that they will not get into trouble.

"Are we... really just going to stand here and wait?"

Xiao Guang then raised his own question.

Although Ash didn't explain why he made them wait there, being abandoned so casually didn't feel good.

Xiao Guang would unconsciously think that they weren't strong enough, so Xiao Zhi made them wait outside for their safety.

She didn't know what Ash had thought of that made him rush into the ruins, but it probably wasn't going to be anything good. But that's why Ash needed help even more right now, isn't it?

"Sigh...is it still not enough...?"

"I don't know what you're thinking, but it's best not to think about things like this. Let's wait here for twenty minutes. If Ash hasn't come out by then, we'll go in and look for him."

Noticing that Xiaoguang's mood was a bit off, Xiaogang comforted her, but he himself was also a little puzzled by Xiaozhi's behavior.

It's rare to see Ash so anxious, except when his companions are in danger. This is the first time Brock has seen Ash show such an attitude in an unknown situation.

What exactly happened inside that made Ash so concerned?

......

As Xiao Gang pondered, the Rocket Team trio standing behind them looked at each other, seemingly unsure whether they should leave in the current silent atmosphere.

"Hey, are we leaving now?" Kojiro asked Musashi quietly.

"Hmm... I don't know, but I feel like it's not a good idea to just leave like this? What do you think, Meow Meow?"

"Meow~ I think we should wait here and see. What if the little brat brought out something valuable..."

"oh?!"

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

After figuring out the solution, the Rocket trio huddled together and started laughing, completely ignoring the disdainful looks from Dawn and Brock beside them.

.......

P.S.: I'm exhausted. I was only managing to keep up with 4K updates to begin with, and now I'm around 2500 followers.
