Chapter 219 Xiaoyao's Questioning, A Strange Feeling?
"You're one to talk! If Kacchan hadn't told me, I would never have imagined that you, Ash, are so famous now!"
When May heard this, she also complained to Ash in the same way.
"And she became famous because of the Grand Contest..."
Although Haruka initially wanted to complain about the title of "best partner," she couldn't bring herself to say anything about it when she thought about how Hikaru seemed to be a victim as well.
"There's nothing I can do. I don't want to become famous because of the Grand Contest, but a Grand Contest that's broadcast live by various media outlets is much easier to become famous than a closed gym battle."
Xiao Zhi shrugged, expressing his helplessness.
Ultimately, this is because the format of the Grand Contest is different from that of the Gym Battle.
Ninety-nine percent of gym battles go unnoticed by the outside world, let alone be broadcast live by various media outlets like this. It's only natural that they would become famous after performing so well in a competition that is being broadcast throughout the Sinnoh region.
Even those trainers who excel in gym battles will mostly remain unknown unless their achievements are truly extraordinary.
Just like Dacto.
"Hmm... So Ash, why don't you just participate in this Wallace Cup? Wouldn't that be a good opportunity? Anyway, Ash, you're pretty good at Contests."
"Forget it, the reason I participated in the Contests in Sinnoh was mainly because Aipom was interested in it. After evolving, Aipom's interest in the Contests gradually faded, so let's just forget about it."
"Then... what about the Fate Tournament?"
At this point, Haruka stopped drinking from her cup, rested her arm on the table, and stared at Satoshi.
At this moment, although Hikari could sense that Haruka wasn't watching her from the shadows, Hikari, as one of the parties involved, also began to feel a little nervous.
after all--
"Ah~ that time, it was mainly Hikari who asked me to participate with her, because she always thought the Contest of Fate was a singles competition, but it turned out to be a doubles competition~ At that time, she was not good at commanding two Pokémon, so she asked me to help her."
"Eh~~~~"
Xiaoyao trailed off meaningfully.
Now the pressure is on Xiaoguang.
Feeling the gazes of the group, Xiaoguang's forehead was already beaded with cold sweat. She smiled awkwardly, trying to steer the conversation away with a smile, but ultimately she succumbed to Xiaoyao's stare and sighed as she frankly said:
"Just like Ash said~ because I was really not good at directing Pokémon in double battles at the time, and my victories in the Contests before the Affinity Conference were somewhat due to trickery. I asked Ash for help because I lacked confidence."
Even though Hikari shouldn't have done anything wrong, she always felt inexplicably guilty when Haruka was watching her.
What should this feeling be called? Xiao Guang seemed to find it somewhat familiar, but ultimately couldn't remember.
"Hmm~ I see~ It's okay, actually I had a tough time at first too."
After Xiaoguang explained everything, Xiaoyao's expression brightened again. She rested her chin on her hand, closed her eyes, and seemed to be reminiscing about the past.
"Yes, yes, yes, May had it much worse than you at first! She was afraid of Pokémon, always getting scared by wild Pokémon that suddenly appeared! She couldn't command her Pokémon in battles either! Her performances in the early Contests were all tragedies! And—"
"What else? (laughs)"
"?!"
Just as Ash was engrossed in recounting May's past, he suddenly felt a chill creeping over his entire body. Looking towards May, he noticed that her once cheerful smile was now clouded with dark clouds, like the prelude to an impending storm.
When Brock noticed that May's mood had changed halfway through, he turned away with Pikachu, not intending to continue participating in this strange conversation. Meanwhile, Dawn, noticing Ash's tense expression, nodded silently in agreement.
Thinking to myself.
So Ash can make this kind of expression too.
Just as the situation seemed a bit tense, Chiaki and Chika walked over from the kitchen behind them, looking apologetic. Noticing their expressions, Haruka stopped arguing and instead asked:
"What's wrong?"
Everyone's attention was drawn to the engaged couple.
"Um...I'm really sorry, actually..."
.......
"What?! The cooked food and all the ingredients in the freezer are gone!!!"
After learning this fact from the two of them, Xiaoyao cried out in disbelief.
You should know that she was very hungry!
"I'm so sorry... Although there were footprints near the entrance, they only covered a short distance. We're planning to call Officer Jenny here..."
"Please leave it to us! No! Please let us handle this! I promise we can find the culprit very quickly!"
"That's right! Leave it to us!"
Before Chiaki could finish speaking, Haruka took the initiative to take on the task of finding the culprit, and Ash echoed her.
"Forget about Ash... why is it May...?"
Xiao Guang pointed at the two people who had completely changed their appearance and looked at Xiao Gang with trepidation, asking him a question.
"Perhaps it's because they all have a unique obsession with food."
"Pickup!"
Pikachu, standing on Xiaogang's lap, nodded in agreement.
"Hmm...it doesn't seem like it's impossible to understand?"
After receiving Xiaogang's explanation, Xiaoguang thought about it for a moment. After remembering how he had been angry at the three members of Team Rocket for wasting their precious food, he could roughly understand the feelings of the two at this moment.
Huh? Wait a minute?
Rockets?
Xiao Guang seems to have discovered something important.

P.S.: Because the bounty hasn't been full these past few days, I haven't marked it at the end of each chapter. The current bounty status is 9/19, so I should be able to pay it off, right? QAQ
