Chapter 201 A Joint Chapter with Xiaoyao
Sitting in front of the video call, with Nurse Joy's help, Ash quickly got through to May.
"Hello~hellow~ Can you hear me? It's been a long time, Ash."
On the other end of the video call, as soon as the call connected, Xiaoyao smiled and waved at us, looking very happy.
Judging from the background behind Xiaoyao, it seems she's at home, right?
"I can hear you."
Ash also smiled and waved to May.
It doesn't feel like it's been that long since we last met, whether we look at it now or in the past.
They've only been apart for a few months now, and looking back, Xiaoyao has come to her own competition just like the others, so it's not like they haven't seen each other for a long time.
However, considering that they used to travel together every day, Xiaoyao's statement that it had been a long time since they last met is not wrong.
"By the way, Haruka, how did you know I was in Veilfall City?"
After a brief greeting, Ash began asking the questions he most wanted to know.
"Ah~ actually it's because..."
"I told my sister."
"Hmm? Xiaosheng? Long time no see~"
Just as Ash and May were talking about this, Max jumped out from the side and joined the discussion.
"Ash, you're quite famous now. Your heroic deeds in Veilstone City last night have spread far and wide. The newspapers in Hoenn even combined your previous experiences fighting Team Magma and Team Aqua to call you the number one enemy of the evil organization."
The villainous organization's number one enemy?
What is that?
Ash's forehead was covered in black lines. This title just seemed weird, didn't it? No matter how you look at it, shouldn't the biggest enemy of evil organizations always be the alliances in various regions?
Ash sighed, feeling that his title was heading in a strange and irreversible direction.
Hopefully things won't get out of control; until then, it would be best for him to remain hidden for a while.
"Eh~"
It seemed that Haruka had only just learned of Ash's feat. After hearing it, she exclaimed in surprise, but then, regaining her composure, she tilted her head, pointed her index finger to her lips, and asked somewhat curiously:
"So, Ash, you've run into the local evil organization again? It must be something to do with your constitution, Ash. I haven't encountered anything like this since I started traveling solo, and I've been living a peaceful life every day."
Ash: "......"
Since arriving in the Sinnoh region, Dawn has brought up this matter to Ash more than once, to the point that Ash is now somewhat immune to it.
However, Ash must have felt a little helpless after being told this by his travel companions.
"Ah! That's not what I wanted to say! Xiaosheng, don't change the subject!"
"Hey? But didn't you go off-topic yourself, sister? Don't blame others for your own mistakes—"
"Do you still want your snacks tomorrow afternoon?"
"sorry."
In the video, Xiaoyao casually waved her hand to send Xiaosheng away. Then, she turned around with a huff, calmed herself down a bit, and got down to business.
"What I was going to ask was, Ash, since you're in Veilstone City now, isn't it close to the location of the Wallace Cup?"
"Yes, actually we plan to head to Lake Lizhi today."
Ash probably guessed what May wanted to say on the phone, so he spoke directly:
"Speaking of which, Haruka, are you also going to participate in the Mikeli Cup?"
"Yes! Of course! After all, the Mikkuri Cup is very prestigious. In terms of difficulty, it's only slightly inferior to large-scale festivals, but in terms of fame, it far surpasses large-scale festivals held in various places!"
As Xiaoyao spoke, it seemed as if she could already see herself shining brightly on the stage, her eyes gleaming.
But then, as if realizing something, she asked:
"Ash, you said... does that mean you're also going to participate in the Wallace Cup?"
"no no."
Xiao Zhi quickly shook his head and denied it.
"Another travel companion who is currently traveling with me and Xiaogang is also joining us; her name is Xiaoguang."
"Oh, I see... That's a bit of a shame."
Hearing this, Xiaoyao lowered her head and said somewhat dejectedly.
She had originally thought that she could stand on the stage with Ash again and compete, just like when they parted ways.
Recalling the scene of their parting, a smile unconsciously crept onto Xiaoyao's lips.
As the sun set, the two bid each other farewell, each holding half of the ribbon medal, and embarked on a new journey, carrying with them their hopes for the future and their blessings for each other.
Thinking back now, that scene was indeed quite romantic, wasn't it? It feels like it could be the perfect ending to a hit TV series.
"Eh?!"
Just as Xiaoyao was reminiscing about the past, Xiaosheng, who had just been sent away, came back to Xiaoyao and shouted excitedly:
"I know Hwang-neechan! I saw her in the Sinnoh magazine last time! It seems that you two are recognized as the best partners in the Sinnoh region now, right? I heard that you performed very well in a doubles Grand Tournament? Although I also looked for the video, it's not very long and the distance is quite far, so the video hasn't reached Hoenn yet."
"Ah... Xiaosheng, you know too... But even if you know, please don't bring it up again, because it's really troublesome."
Ash's head began to throb as he thought about how many people he encountered on the road couldn't help but gasp when they saw him and Dawn.
Although Xiaosheng nodded as if he understood, Xiaoyao on the other side couldn't sit still any longer. Upon hearing the news, she quickly slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and said to Xiaosheng:
"I've never heard of this before! Which magazine is it? Is it at home?"
"Ugh! It's so noisy! Didn't I tell you, sister, that there was something interesting in that magazine?! But you said you were going to go to the newly opened dessert shop nearby for afternoon tea, so you haven't been paying attention to me at all?"
Ash: "......"
Feeling the curious gazes from those around him, Ash's eyes stiffened slightly. Then, under Pikachu's watchful gaze, he slowly hung up the phone.
"What on earth is going on?"
I thought that when Xiaoyao called this time, she would talk about something important, such as her recent achievements, or she would tell me when I would pick her up at the pier.
In the end, before Xiaoyao could say anything, she started arguing with Xiaosheng about something strange.
Well... after all, this is something Haruka would do.
The Mikkelsen Cup.
Ash walked to the window, smiling as he looked up at the setting sun.
I'm actually kind of looking forward to it.
.......
P.S.: I'm asking for a gift every day~ QAQ~!
