Chapter 265 It really is an activity prepared for children.
Time passed slowly.
The restlessness I felt upon waking quickly vanished in this relaxed and comfortable environment.
An atmosphere of freedom permeates the area around the lake.
But while everyone was enjoying the cool summer air by the lake, two shadowy figures were deliberately darting about in the forest.
"So Ash, do you think Professor Yamanashi's words were a reminder that our food for tonight might be hidden around the lake?" Dawn, who had been eager to change into her swimsuit and go swimming, followed Ash into the forest after learning that he didn't want to for the time being.
The pristine forest is permeated with a complex array of fragrances; one moment it's the fresh scent of flowers, the next the aroma of tree fruit. Layers upon layers of lush greenery divide the space into countless planes, and through the intricate foliage, glimpses of the azure sky can still be seen. The slanting sunlight filtering in, along with the occasional calls of Muk'er, creates an atmosphere of exceptional tranquility.
In this peaceful atmosphere, Hikari unexpectedly obtained such surprising information from Satoshi.
"That's probably what Dr. Yamanashi said."
Ash answered casually while still searching for what he was looking for.
If he could, he would certainly like to enjoy himself in the lake and live a leisurely life, but whenever he thought of what Dr. Yamanashi said, he always felt a little uneasy. After all, he didn't want to watch others enjoy their meals while he could only look at his empty plate and sigh alone.
The reason Ash went to the forest early to look for clues that Professor Yamanashi might have hidden was simply because he wasn't sure how much "ingredients" Professor Yamanashi had prepared.
He doesn't need much; just getting his share first is enough.
"What seemed like an easy day turned out to be surprisingly packed with tasks..."
Xiao Guang couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
They had free time in the morning, but in the afternoon they had to observe the Water-type Pokémon, record their daily lives, and compile a report. They would then report their findings to Professor Yamanashi and the others when they returned home in the evening.
Since there's no time in the afternoon, the task of finding ingredients can only be done in the morning, just like Ash did. As for those who are still enjoying themselves... Dawn can only silently wish them good luck.
"Even so, Ash, you still don't need Aura?"
"That would be pointless~ In the end, it's just a summer lecture! Taking it too seriously isn't good!"
"..."
Looking at Ash's disheveled face, Dawn fell silent.
It would be more convincing if you wiped the dirt and dust off your face before saying this.
Xiao Guang held his forehead, momentarily at a loss for words.
Instead of using his perfectly good abilities, he kept searching diligently in the sweltering summer heat. Anyone who saw this scene would probably only describe Ash as "a bit silly."
but.
Looking at Ash's serious profile, Dawn couldn't help but smile.
However, this kind of silly enthusiasm can indeed influence the people around her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here with Ash, or if we look at it from an earlier point, she probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask Ash to travel together.
As she was thinking, even Hikari herself unconsciously revealed the same silly smile that Ash usually wore. She rummaged through the side pocket of her skirt and took out a blue handkerchief. Just as she walked to Ash's side, Ash suddenly shouted and stood up.
"Found it! This is it!"
"?!"
Startled by Xiaozhi's sudden action, Xiaoguang put away the handkerchief she had been holding.
I just wanted to do a good deed by wiping Xiaozhi's face, so why did I have to hide the handkerchief like a thief?
When Hikari came to her senses, she was a little confused about her subconscious actions. Although she felt a little awkward, she still faced Satoshi with a smile.
"What did you find? Is it ingredients?"
"No," Ash shook his head. "But it's not much different."
After saying that, Ash unfolded a piece of paper with "3 mushrooms" written on it and placed it in front of Dawn.
"It's a piece of paper with ingredients written on it. What Dr. Yamanashi said really meant that what we can eat tonight, and how much we can eat, all depends on how many of these notes we can find."
"...Although I had prepared myself mentally, it still feels a bit unbelievable."
Xiao Guang sighed again without realizing it.
How come Dr. Yamanashi, who seems so calm and collected, would come up with this kind of activity that's like a child's treasure hunt?
Although they do seem to be children.
"There seems to be a note buried over there too. When Professor Yamanashi and the others hide these notes, they seem to deliberately place a few blades of grass as clues."
Watching Ash explain as he walked away to the other side, Dawn paused for a moment, then chuckled and followed.
