Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 279 The Next Destination

The summer lecture series, filled with both tranquility and excitement, came to a hasty end.

However, the early end of the summer lectures did not immediately lead Ash and his friends to embark on their journey to God Village. Because the summer lectures were shortened, they now face a problem.

"The God and the Conference is still more than a week away from starting. Originally, the summer lectures were scheduled to end at the same time as planned, so we could arrive in God and the Town a day early. If we go there now, we might stay in God and the Town for a long time."

Brock held up the map and explained it to Ash and Dawn.

It didn't matter to him where he went, but staying in one town for too long wasn't necessarily a good thing.

after all--

"But I haven't even figured out what tricks I should use in the first round of the God and the Conference!" Xiao Guang said with a worried expression.

She hasn't started the training about God and the conference yet because she heard that there would be a fireworks display on the penultimate day of the summer lectures, and she was hoping to gain something from it.

After all, how well a contestant completes their first round of the glamour contest depends often on a sudden burst of inspiration.

Simply put—

Could a certain poetic or picturesque moment inspire her?

In Xiaoguang's initial idea.

Under a star-studded night sky, she and Xiaozhi sat side by side on the courtyard corridor, watching the fireworks rise and explode.

No matter how you look at it, isn't this romantic?

Of course, all of this was to spark her inspiration for the Grand Contest! She had no other ideas whatsoever!

Ah!

"Hmm." Ash also showed a somewhat hesitant expression at this moment.

Under normal circumstances, when faced with this choice, he would definitely support Xiaoguang's idea to go to other places and find inspiration during his travels.

But the gods and the town.

If I remember correctly, Team Galactic also attacked God and Town back then.

Upon emerging from the mountains and arriving at the town before him, Ash naturally didn't forget to keep up with the recent news; it seemed the archaeological team in God and Town had made some significant discovery.

Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, Xiaozhi naturally knows that what's being mined is the White Jade Pearl.

Back in Baidai City, there were already rumors that the White Jade Pearl was in Shenhe Town and that mining was already underway.

Perhaps the discoveries of the Kouhe Town archaeological team are no secret to the people of Sinnoh?

"Let's go to Shenhe Town."

"Eh~"

Dawn thought Ash would support her, but in the end Ash still wanted to rest in God Village first.

"Because getting to Shenhe Town involves traversing many mountain roads, right? And these mountain roads are all covered in thick fog. What if we arrive late and end up getting lost in the mountains?"

Xiao Zhi came up with a seemingly perfect reason.

However, Hikaru might have believed this reason earlier, but now—

"But don't you have the aura that allows you to find your way? Then we won't get lost, right?"

Xiao Guang pouted and pressed for an answer.

Ash: "......"

A brief silence fell over the air.

Even Pikachu is now looking at Ash with an expression of amusement.

After a long while, Ash seemed unable to come up with any reason, so he pointed at Pikachu.

"Because the electric sparks that burst from Pikachu's energy sac will cause the waveguide to malfunction!"

Pikachu: "???"

No, no, no, that's too far-fetched.

"Don't blame Pikachu!"

Dawn put her hands on her hips, then bent down and approached Ash, her eyes filled with suspicion.

"Anyway...!" Ash felt guilty and, since he wasn't good at lying about these things, he could only try to smooth things over.

"Leave everything to me! If you lack inspiration while in God and Town, I'll help you brainstorm and train with you!"

"Really?! Then let's head to Shenhe Town right now!"

Xiao Zhi's acting skills are still terrible.

But Dawn, who had seen through Ash just a moment ago, now seemed to have been completely fooled and immediately raised her hand to support Ash's suggestion.

Brock & Pikachu: "......"

So, you just agreed that easily?

Pikachu: So, is this the end of my scapegoating?

Pikachu and Brock exchanged a glance, and simultaneously looked up at Dawn, who was already standing behind Ash, pushing him toward the road leading to God Village.

Forget it, so be it.

That's pretty good too.

Pikachu and Brock shrugged and then followed the two who were leaving.

......

Sinnoh region.

Shenhe Town.

In an office.

"That's right, the white jade pearl has been mined. Next, please send over the Vajra pearl from the Baidai Museum as well."

On one side of the desk, Cynthia held a microphone, gazing at the distant scenery of God and Town. After a brief hesitation, Cynthia made her decision.

"why?"

A slightly aged voice came from the other end of the phone.

The old man is the person in charge of managing the artifacts within the alliance.

He was responsible for deciding which museum to place the Vajra Jewel and the White Jade Jewel in, as well as the transportation, maintenance, and safekeeping of other cultural relics.

Although he was supposed to be in charge, his daily work was quite simple; he just did whatever the league told him to do. But today was a little different.

The old man was puzzled for a moment by Cynthia's request.

"The security at the Hundred Generations Museum is already very good! The Diamond Orb is perfectly safe there; there's absolutely no need to move it to God and Town, right? Besides, isn't Team Galactic eyeing both orbs? Such a request—"

"Based on reports from concerned citizens, the whereabouts of the Galaxy team have become quite clear."

Cynthia smiled, but her tone was unmistakably serious.

"The Galaxy Team's next target is the legendary Three Lakes, not the Vajra Pearl and the White Jade Pearl. So, I think it's the perfect opportunity to move both pearls to God and Town."

"..." There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Cynthia is the champion of the Sinnoh League, and he has no choice but to comply with her "request".

But he also has the responsibility to protect the antiquities, and even if the outcome cannot be changed, he still wants to struggle.

"But... God and City doesn't have a Gym Leader, and the security situation in the entire area is nowhere near as good as in Eternal City. I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid of this."

Cynthia changed the subject, revealing confidence and determination.

"God and Town, I'm here."

Cynthia put down the phone, took out a Poké Ball from her pocket, placed it in her palm, and gazed at it silently.

......

Keep pushing!

I'm asking for a gift every day~ QAQ~
