Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 247 Back on Track Daily Life

"It's a shame you weren't here, Ash! I won yesterday!"

In the lobby of the Pokémon Center, Dawn proudly showed off the winning crown of the fashion contest to Ash.

"That's a real shame. I heard from Xiaogang that you incorporated your experience from the Grand Contest and won, right?"

"Hehe~ Of course! As long as it's related to the Grand Contest, I definitely won't lose!"

The continuous victories seem to have given Xiaoguang a strong sense of self-confidence, and the current Xiaoguang is in stark contrast to the Xiaoguang when she first went on her trip.

Although Dawn's lack of confidence was worrying before, Ash is still somewhat concerned about her current 180-degree personality change, since Dawn's current strength is not enough to fully support her confidence.

"And what's more! Ms. Hoshino seems to really like me! After the competition, she even wanted me to become the exclusive style designer for Pokémon Pop Magazine right away! But for now, I only want to take on large-scale festivals, so I declined!"

.......

Listening to Dawn's endless chatter, Ash couldn't help but smile, then muttered to himself softly.

"......never mind."

I was going to remind Xiaoguang not to be too confident, but he swallowed the words back down.

Perhaps this isn't such a bad thing. Only after failing when you're extremely confident in yourself can you better examine yourself. He went through a similar period before meeting Genji during his trip to Hoenn.

How I miss it.

"Oh! Right! I forgot to mention it last night because I was in a rush to prepare for the fashion competition!"

"Forgot to mention? What?"

Ash looked at Dawn with curiosity, while Brock realized what Dawn was talking about. So, as Dawn took out the poster for the Pokémon summer lecture, Brock explained:

"Actually, it's just that Professor Yamanashi held a Pokémon summer lecture. This lecture, hosted by Professor Yamanashi, seems to be very innovative in both content and format, so the spots are in high demand."

"But don't worry! I contacted Dr. Yamanashi last night, and he said he can add three more spots for us!"

As Xiao Guang said this, he put his hands on his hips, looking quite smug.

"Yes, yes, yes, then I'll benefit from your help this time~"

Ash bowed to Dawn with feigned solemnity, which made Dawn scratch her cheek in embarrassment and look away, avoiding eye contact with Ash again.

Xiao Guang originally only wanted to tease Xiao Zhi, but when Xiao Zhi actually responded to her teasing, Xiao Guang still felt a little embarrassed.

After quickly deciding on their next course of action, Ash and the others returned to their room to rest and prepare for the upcoming Pokémon summer lecture.

And so, their veered course was miraculously corrected.

Time flew by and the next day arrived.

On their way to the location of Professor Yamanashi's summer lecture, Ash and his friends encountered another strange situation where they got lost.

At the previous intersection, Dawn and Ash disagreed on which road to take. Based on her past experience of getting lost, Dawn firmly believed that Ash's intuition was inaccurate. In the end, after choosing the opposite road to Ash, they got lost again near a huge pond.

"This time I didn't lead the way, so how are you going to explain that?"

Near the pond, just as Xiao Gang was setting up camp, Xiao Zhi turned his gaze to Xiao Guang on the other side, who was pretending not to know anything, and asked her this question.

"this......"

Xiao Guang stammered, poking his fingers, unsure how to answer.

In the past, when they got lost at intersections, it was usually Ash who led them astray, but this time, she insisted on choosing a different path and encountered the same situation again.

Faced with this awkward situation, Xiao Guang ultimately chose to remain silent.

Seeing that Dawn didn't answer, Ash turned around and went to the other side to help Brock set up camp. After Brock lit the campfire, Ash took Pikachu to a nearby open space to train.

"Come out, Scorpio!"

"GIL!"

The Gliscor, which had just been released from its Poké Ball, turned around and was about to pounce on Ash's face, but Ash crouched down and grabbed its tail in mid-air.

After bringing Gliscor closer, Ash took out Sharp Fang from his pocket and said to Gliscor, "Your evolution item is here, but you can't evolve yet."

"GLI?! (Why?!)"

Scorpion raised its pincers in front of itself, looking as if it were about to cry, hoping to move Ash.

However, having become accustomed to Scorpio's acting skills, Xiao Zhi did not change his attitude because of its pitiful appearance. He simply said:

"You need to learn how to battle before you evolve. Although you're better than before, your performance in battles is still lacking. Didn't you yourself resolve to practice Pokémon battles properly?"

“GLI~~~”

Scorpio tilted his head and stuck out his tongue, as if he had never known about this.

Seeing this, Ash helplessly covered his head and was about to speak when Pikachu suddenly pointed at the bushes and shouted—

"Pickup!"
