Chapter 257 Is this the trainer's self-adjustment ability?
"Ugh!! Damn it!!! This just doesn't make sense, does it? What kind of cheat is that?!"
"What's wrong with Ah Xun?"
"do not know……"
In the morning, after enjoying a delicious breakfast prepared by "professionals," it should have been the turn of each group to engage in Pokémon battles.
But for some reason, even though it should have been the part that Ah Xun was most interested in, he kept scratching his head from the beginning, looking like he had something on his mind. Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang observed him for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
So Hikari turned her attention to Ash, who was with Ash at the end, and asked, "What's wrong with Ash?"
"..." When asked this question, Ash and Pikachu exchanged a glance, their eyes showing a hint of embarrassment.
But he couldn't resist Xiaoguang's questioning, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "Maybe he was hit hard."
Xiao Guang: "???"
After Ash gave such a nonsensical answer, Dawn seemed even more confused.
Seeing this, Ash explained in detail: "This morning, Ash came with me to train and saw me using the Aura Force the whole time."
"so……"
Xiao Gang and Xiao Guang suddenly realized what was going on. They looked at each other and then laughed helplessly in unison.
No wonder Ash looked so troubled; it turns out it's because he learned that Ash possesses the power of Aura.
This is understandable, since both of them know more about Aura than Ashun does, and they both know just how strong the boost that Aura brings to trainers and Pokémon is in Pokémon battles.
As a Pokémon trainer, Ash was clearly more aware of this than they were. He and Ash were both formidable rivals who would be participating in the Sinnoh League, so there was a high probability that they would meet on that stage in the future.
Realizing this, Ash understood even more deeply just how much pressure it would be to be Ash's opponent. Just figuring out how to neutralize the advantage that Aura gave Ash was a topic worth studying for a long time.
So this is why Ash stopped pestering him about having a Pokémon battle with him and started sighing to himself.
"But is it really okay to leave Ah Xun there all by herself? Won't she get sick from being cooped up like that...?"
Seeing Ah Xun still scratching his hair, Xiao Guang asked with some concern.
"No problem, no problem~" Ash waved his hand, unconsciously uttering someone's catchphrase. "It's just a little bit of trouble, Ash isn't going to be defeated by such a small difficulty."
"That's true, but..."
Although Dawn understands Ash's personality, if she puts herself in Ash's shoes, what if she suddenly met a Coordinator with the same goal as Ash, who also possesses Aura power?
hiss……
Just thinking about it makes one feel hopeless.
"Don't worry." Ash waved his hand, then pointed to Xun's location and said nonchalantly, "He'll recover soon."
Sure enough, the moment Ash finished speaking, Professor Yamanashi stepped onto the stage in front of everyone. He glanced at the audience, his gaze lingering briefly on Ash, but quickly returned to normal.
"Now that everyone is here, let's begin today's activities." Dr. Yamanashi gave his assistants a look, and they understood and together carried up a scoreboard about one meter long.
Seeing this, Dr. Yamanashi nodded and said, "Then, we will draw lots to select your opponents and order of battle. We will score you based on your performance in battle, especially your teamwork with your partner, and the results of the match. The group with the highest score will win. Is that alright?"
"Oh! I can't wait!"
As expected, Ah Xun immediately raised his hand and answered loudly after Dr. Yamanashi asked the question.
"Look."
"That really is..."
Xiao Guang covered his forehead and said speechlessly.
She had been worried that Ah Xun might not be able to recover from the shock for a while, but it seems that Pokémon trainers have much stronger self-regulation abilities than she expected.
"Here we go, Lucario. Let's put our morning training to good use during the battle."
"Ow."
Lucario nodded, his eyes filled with eagerness.

P.S.: Finally graduated! I just got home yesterday. I spent months looking for a job, but ultimately, for various reasons, even when I was at the point of signing a contract, I still turned down jobs. Now I'm back in my hometown, planning to look for work nearby. I probably won't be able to resume updates until I have a stable job. Until then, I'll update within two days whenever someone asks for 600 words of updates QAQ
