Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 200 Waveguides, Mega Stones, and Electric Chapters from Haruka

"No need."

Shinji had no opinion on Raiji's proposal.

"It's not the right time yet. I will have a six-on-six all-out battle with him later. I will not play any more matches with him before that."

"Forehead......"

Watching Shinji walk away on his own, Raiji awkwardly scratched his head.

Shinji's attitude toward this matter was unexpectedly resolute. Since that was the case, there was nothing he could do but silently pray that Lee could pull through.

"Sigh, there's really nothing I can do. Looks like I'll have to wait until later."

Lei Si finally sighed and looked at Xiao Zhi and the others, asking:

"By the way, when are you planning to leave? If you want to stay in Veil City for a few more days, that's fine too. I can be your guide and show you the way, since there's not much to do in the incubator these days."

"No need to trouble yourself, we'll probably be setting off this afternoon."

Xiao Gang politely declined Lei Si's offer.

"Afternoon? Is it in such a hurry?"

Lei Si paused for a moment, but then, as if remembering something, clapped his hands and said:

"By the way! You're going to participate in the Mikkuri Cup, right? The venue is at Lizhi Lake, so we really need to leave today, otherwise it will be troublesome if something happens on the way and we're delayed."

Thinking of this, Lei Si stopped trying to keep them.

He had originally thought that if Ash and the others could stay here for a few more days, perhaps Shinji could relax a bit...

No, thinking about it carefully, it's still impossible, right? Given the child's current state, it seems like he won't change his mind unless he has a full-scale battle with Ash and is completely defeated.

As the older brother, Raiji also felt guilty about Shinji's change in personality.

He could have traveled more easily, he could have enjoyed the journey more, but...

In the end, Lei Si simply smiled and saw off Xiao Zhi and the others who were going to the city to purchase supplies, and then he began to walk towards the Veiled Gym.

Although he couldn't persuade Shinji, he could at least comfort Lee, who was about to fail again, and hope that she would be alright.

.......

Several hours passed, and Ash and his friends, who had gone to the city center to buy supplies that morning, followed their usual routine: each of them bought their own things, and then returned to the lobby of the Pokémon Center to gather and prepare to set off.

Ash is always the first to return, firstly because he needs the least amount of things, and secondly because he simply can't go out onto the streets of Veilstone City right now.

After the newspaper publicity and the passage of time, Ash is now regarded as a hero of Veilstone City.

He single-handedly fought Team Galactic, shot down a helicopter, and captured Team Galactic members and dozens of their Pokémon.

Although Team Galactic did manage to steal the meteorite, only a small portion of it was buried deep underground. The enthusiastic citizens thought that without Ash's intervention, Team Galactic would have stolen the entire meteorite collection in the park.

However, upon closer reflection, their thinking is not entirely incomprehensible. After all, the Galactic Team came with great force, deploying so many helicopters just for such a small amount of meteorite. Ordinary citizens would simply not believe it, right?

In short, Ash can now be surrounded by crowds whenever he stands on the street. As a result, Ash has no choice but to come to the Pokémon Center, since most of the people who come here are tourists. Although they are amazed by his deeds, they will not be so enthusiastic.

“Pikachu…”

During the time it was blocked, Pikachu was exhausted from being tormented by the children who came to see it. It collapsed on the bench, looking completely worn out, and seemed to have no energy left to even speak.

Meanwhile, Ash was playing with the reward he got from yesterday's gym battle – a Mega Stone.

Although Ash didn't recognize which Pokémon the first Mega Stone he got, he was quite confident about this one, since it was a Mega Stone he had used before, belonging to Lucario.

"So what's the point of just giving me a Mega Stone... Can't you give me a Key Stone?"

Ash sighed, put away the Mega Stone, then closed his eyes, palms up, and whispered in a voice only he could hear:

"Waveguide, stay with me..."

Ash frowned, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He tried to activate the Aura, but it shattered after only a moment. Ash was also shaken by the force and coughed a few times.

"Cough cough... cough..."

"Skin?"

Upon hearing Ash cough, Pikachu opened its eyes, sat up, and looked at Ash.

"It's alright, don't worry."

Xiao Zhi forced a smile and waved his hand.

Although this attempt failed, he did not come away empty-handed.

At the very least, he can now briefly focus and perceive waveguides when he is focused. If he continues to practice, he should be able to see the world of waveguides.

Yes, I think so.

Ash himself wasn't entirely confident either. If he wanted to take a bigger risk, perhaps he should return to the ruins of Random Town and find those Unknown Totems to see if he could communicate with them.

However, this idea was just a thought; Ash had no intention of taking such a big risk to go back and find them.

Instead of searching for the unknown totem, why not go back to the city of Orudron and see if we can find anything there?

Just as Ash was thinking this, Nurse Joy, the receptionist at the Pokémon Center, noticed him and walked straight up to him, asking:

"Excuse me, are you Ash Ketchum?"

"Well, it's me."

Ash's first reaction was that Nurse Joy was going to do the same thing as the residents of Veilwall City, but thankfully her next words put Ash at ease.

"That's great. Actually, there was a phone call here an hour ago looking for you. It was from the Hoenn region, and the caller left the name Haruka."
