Chapter 263 A New Day, When the Lake is Free?
"Ha~~"
"Ha~~~"
"Ha~~~~"
The next day.
Early in the morning, Xiao Guang and his friends started yawning one after another. Xiao Zhi, who was surrounded by them, heard the yawning sounds coming from all around him and suddenly felt like yawning too.
"What's going on? Everyone looks so listless. Didn't you sleep after Dr. Yamanashi arrived?"
"No~" Dawn's answer was light and airy. Standing next to Ash, her head slumped, as if she might collapse onto his shoulder at any moment. "I was already having trouble sleeping, and Professor Yamanashi's yelling has made me even more sleepless, haha~~~"
After saying that, Xiao Guang let out another long yawn.
"That's right! About half an hour later, Xiaoguang started calling your name again. I was almost asleep, but Xiaoguang's noise kept me awake! You have to be punished—haha~~~"
Ah Xun yawned as she complained about Xiao Guang's behavior.
Moreover, judging from the fact that he closed his eyes again before he could even finish his catchphrase, Ah Xun was really sleepy.
Ash could understand why Ash and Dawn were sleepy, but on the other side—
"So, Brock and Pikachu, why are you two yawning too? Could it be..." Ash narrowed his eyes, staring intently at them, posing the probing question. "You two were actually awake last night, weren't you? You just didn't make a sound, right?"
"P-Pikachu?!"
"H-How could that be?! I was just hearing a lot of noise in my sleep, which made my sleep quality poor."
"Pikachu!" (Me too!)
Seeing that Brock and Pikachu looked embarrassed, Ash didn't pursue the matter any further.
Ash could understand their feelings. After all, he had the same thoughts as Brock and Pikachu at first. Otherwise, he wouldn't have pretended to be asleep and not hear when Dawn asked him if he was asleep. Putting someone to sleep, especially someone who has been frightened, is a troublesome thing. Of course, Ash didn't want to waste his precious rest time. Thinking about things related to Aura at night was already very tiring.
But looking at it this way, I didn't expect that he would be the only one who fell asleep in the end...
At this moment, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but admire his own ability to fall asleep.
.......
Just as Hikaru and his friends were still yawning, Dr. Yamanashi stood on the small podium with a microphone in hand and began to explain today's content.
"The original plan was for us to run a marathon this morning to exercise and also to strengthen our relationship."
Dr. Yamanashi didn't beat around the bush; he went straight to the point.
Of course, the moment Dr. Yamanashi finished speaking, the audience below let out a series of reluctant sighs.
Just kidding. Marathons are tiring enough, let alone in the mountains. If you're going to run a marathon, it'll definitely end up being a mountain marathon. It's so early in the morning, and the weather is so hot. Who can stand that?
Perhaps due to the heat, the students attending the summer lecture seemed to have overlooked the words "original plan" that Dr. Yamanashi mentioned at the beginning.
That is, the hand—
"However, considering the hot weather, today's marathon training has been changed to swimming."
"Oh!!!"
Upon hearing the word "swimming," a thunderous applause erupted, and cheers and jubilation filled the entire venue.
"Afterwards, we will take you to a mountain lake developed by our laboratory, where there are many kinds of water-type Pokémon. You are free to spend the morning as you wish, but after lunch, please choose a water-type Pokémon to observe. After dinner, you will report in groups in the classroom."
Although they were assigned tasks today, none of them complained when they learned that they would be spending the whole day by the lake.
After all, what could be more enjoyable than spending a hot summer day swimming in a lake with Pokémon?
"Well, also—" Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Dr. Yamanashi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stroked his stubble, and continued, "Today's lunch is curry rice, just like yesterday, but we will have an outdoor barbecue near the lake for dinner."
Another major piece of news.
I take back what I said before.
Nothing in this world is more wonderful than a group of people sitting around a lake on a hot summer day, enjoying a barbecue while feeling the cool, humid sea breeze.
"For the sake of everyone's dinner, when you are out and about near the lake today, remember to keep a close eye on your surroundings, otherwise it's hard to say whether your dinner will be pleasant or not."
.......
"What does Dr. Yamanashi mean?" Hikaru didn't quite understand what Dr. Yamanashi was saying.
"I don't know." Ash shrugged. "Anyway, we'll probably know when we get there, right? Just observe the surroundings carefully as the professor said."
"Pikachu~"
Pikachu crossed its arms and nodded earnestly in agreement.
