Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 255 Unexpected Perception

The first day of the Pokémon summer lecture slipped away quietly. Perhaps it was the new feeling of interacting with new Pokémon, or perhaps everyone was just busy completing the task assigned by Professor Yamanashi: to build a good relationship with the Pokémon they had drawn.

After enjoying dinner provided by two seemingly familiar "staff members," Ash returned to his room. Ash ate the most, so he was naturally the last to return. When Ash got back to his room, Dawn, Brock, and Ash had been waiting for him for quite some time.

"Too slow! Too slow! We'll be fined for this!" As soon as Ash arrived, Ash, who was sitting on the bed, started shouting loudly. Although it sounded noisy, Ash was surprisingly not annoying.

"So, Ah Xun, you're sharing a room with us? That's surprising..."

It seems that not only the summer camp participants, but also the room assignments changed accordingly due to their altered schedules.

Xiao Zhi was just saying whatever came to mind, and he didn't expect that his unintentional remark would cause A Xun's dissatisfaction.

"What?! Don't you care about other people at all?! I told you about this before, but you weren't even listening to me!"

Ash walked up to Ash and complained. To his surprise, his casual complaint didn't provoke Ash's displeasure, but instead drew a rebuttal from Dawn.

Dawn walked up to Ash, put her hands on her hips, and said in an indignant tone, "Don't make judgments about someone so easily. Ash cares about others, right, Pikachu?"

"Pikachu~!"

As Xiao Guang spoke, his gaze shifted to Pikachu, who nodded in agreement.

Just like Hikari said, Satoshi is a fool who cares about others even more than himself.

"What?! Aren't we best friends since we were kids?! I just went on a short trip, and Hikari is completely siding with Satoshi! Fine! You have to pay for this! You're buying us dinner next time we meet!"

"What...no! This and that are completely different things!"

Xiao Guang suddenly seemed to realize something and waved her hands repeatedly in denial. As for what Xiao Guang was trying so hard to refute, perhaps only she and Xiao Gang could realize it.

"Tsk." After being refuted by Xiaoguang, Axun clicked his tongue in regret. "Speaking of which, I'm really unlucky. I came to this Pokémon summer lecture because I wanted to battle you. There are supposed to be battles here the next day. Compared to group battles, it's definitely more fun to choose your own opponent."

Ah Xun sighed, looking quite regretful.

Ash couldn't help but retort after hearing this, "So the Pokémon summer course mainly focuses on fostering relationships between people and between people and Pokémon. It's not a battle summer camp, so of course it's not primarily about battles. Maybe we won't even have the chance to battle Pokémon after tomorrow."

"Eh!! No way!!? Then what am I even here for?!"

After Ash tried to reason with A-Xun, A-Xun immediately started shouting desperately, so loudly that Ash and the others couldn't help but cover their ears and try to quiet him down.

"That's why I said I'd have a Pokémon battle with you after summer camp!"

"Really?! Then it's a deal! If you go back on your word, you'll be fined a million!"

"Yes Yes Yes......."

Just as Ash weakly waved his hand in agreement to Ash, Pikachu, which had been standing on his shoulder, seemed to sense something. Its ears suddenly perked up, and its eyes stared blankly out the window. This strange behavior of Pikachu caught the attention of the others.

"Is there anything outside?" Ash turned to Pikachu and asked.

"Skin......"

When Ash asked Pikachu, it just scratched its head in annoyance.

Perhaps its ears did catch some sound, but Pikachu's ears are more efficient at detecting external stimuli than its brain. Occasionally, its ears will catch a sound, but it won't be able to identify what it is.

Seeing that Pikachu itself also expressed doubt, Dawn and the others thought nothing had happened, so they continued to talk about how they got along with their Pokémon and their preparations for tomorrow's battle.

Ash only pondered for two seconds before turning around with Pikachu, waving to the others and saying, "You guys chat first, Pikachu and I are going for a walk."

After giving this brief explanation, Ash quickly left the room, leaving Dawn and the others watching his departing figure with puzzled expressions.
