Chapter 322 Provocation, Dawn and Night
Chapter 322 Provocation, Dawn and Night
A full afternoon of uninterrupted training.
Both their mental and physical abilities have been pushed to the limit.
This was the first time Xiaoguang had trained so recklessly. Not only her, but even Patchlitz, known as the White Devil, was exhausted and collapsed on the ground.
After finishing training, Xiao Guang started to feel a little hungry, but when she thought about how she had already mastered two brand-new performances that afternoon, she felt that all her hard work was worthwhile.
After all, she developed these two brand-new performances entirely on her own!
Without any help from Ash.
Dawn then returned to the Pokémon Center, wanting to take Ash out for dinner and treat herself to a big meal. However, she learned from Nurse Joy that Ash had not returned.
Dawn guessed that Ash might be going to watch the Contest, so she got up and walked towards the venue.
As for Xiao Gang, it seems he went to a local store that specializes in Pokémon food to study recipes, and he probably won't be back until tonight.
During the Grand Contest, there are bound to be all sorts of stalls at the entrance of the venue. Xiao Guang originally planned to find Xiao Zhi and walk around with him at the entrance of the venue, just like strolling through a temple fair.
but--
.......
"Ash? Ulala? What are you two doing here?"
When Xiaoguang arrived at the scene, the first thing she saw was Xiaozhi and Ulala in the crowd.
Actually, the two weren't that conspicuous in the crowd. It was mainly because the people huddled together around them were all looking at them with smiles that Xiao Guang noticed them.
The Grand Contest ended, and Ash was there, as was Ulala.
There wasn't much of a problem with the two of them walking together; it was perfectly normal.
The question is, why would Ulala hand Ash a crepe?
This is so weird!
Are their relationships that good?
Xiao Guang seemed to have become completely numb.
She didn't even know what she had done that afternoon. In just one afternoon, Xiao Guang felt like she was losing her sense of self.
"Xiao Guang? Is your training over? How did it go?"
Upon seeing Dawn suddenly appear, Ash immediately expressed his curiosity about Dawn's training progress after receiving the crepe.
But this seemingly normal conversation always seemed to Xiao Guang to have a different meaning at this moment.
Ash seemed to be saying, "Why are you here so early?"
Such.
Although Hikari knew her guess was ridiculous, and that Ash would never say such a thing under any circumstances.
But in her ears, lines from melodramatic midday romance dramas seemed to be constantly echoing.
"Ah... um... it's alright... it wasn't a complete waste..."
Xiao Guang replied somewhat absentmindedly.
She had previously wanted to find Ash as soon as possible to share her joy with him, but right now, compared to the results of her afternoon training, she was more interested in asking:
"So... why are you with this guy, Ash?"
Xiao Guang's tone was somewhat wary and aggressive.
Who told Ulala to belittle her from the moment they officially met? Xiao Guang definitely doesn't have a good impression of Ulala.
Before Ash could answer, Ulala seemed to have figured something out. With a hint of victory in her eyes, she covered her mouth and laughed, "What's the big deal? It's just that before the Contest started, Ash approached me and offered to help me. He then helped me refine my performance for the first round."
"And he even personally trained me!"
Ulala's tone was full of smugness.
If Ash hadn't been watching her right now, Ulala's eyes would definitely have squinted upwards, revealing a mocking expression.
"Varied--"
Xiao Guang froze completely in place.
She simply couldn't understand why Ash would help Ulala train, especially since he was doing it on his own initiative.
It seems that Xiao Zhi hasn't been helping her train lately; she has to ask him every time.
Ash scratched his head, somewhat confused, as Dawn glared at him with a resentful look.
"What's wrong with Hikari? Pikachu... um?"
Ash had originally intended to ask Pikachu for help, but when he turned his head, Pikachu, who had been waiting for food just a moment ago, was now fast asleep.
"So this crepe is your reward to Ash?"
After figuring out the situation, Xiao Guang understood why the two were walking together, especially since Ulala looked like she wanted to feed her.
Regardless of what Xiaozhi was thinking, the most important thing now is to get Ulala away as soon as possible.
"Hmm... I guess so... but I guess not..."
"What?"
Ulala's ambiguous statement left Xiao Guang puzzled once again.
Seeing Xiaoguang's angry yet helpless expression, Wulala's mood seemed to improve a little.
Then she took out the ribbon medal that she had already put away and deliberately waved it in front of Xiaoguang.
"It means you can guess for yourself~ Anyway, I've already gained enough today. Although I didn't have a chance this time, I won't let you have the victory in the future."
After saying that, Ulala put away the ribbon and ribbon again. Under the somewhat dazed gazes of Ash and Dawn, Ulala used her spare hand to gently slide it across the crepe in Ash's hand, getting a little cream on it, and then put her slender white finger into her mouth to savor it.
He smiled with relief.
"This one definitely tastes better with cream! I'll try it again next time. Thanks for your help today, see you later."
After doing all this, as she passed by Xiaoguang, Ulala let out another disdainful laugh that only Xiaoguang could hear.
Xiao Guang: "!!!"
Xiao Guang's hair, exposed under his hat, looked like it was about to stand up, just like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Ash, watching Ulala's departing figure, muttered a question to himself.
"Aren't these two flavors the same? Why do you specifically choose mine?"
Hearing Ash's words, Dawn's lips began to tremble again.
She had never experienced such a strong emotional fluctuation in such a short period of time.
"Is that what she meant?!"
"Huh? Does it mean something else?"
Ash's answer revealed a clear-eyed stupidity.
Even Dawn was completely speechless after hearing Ash's question.
Not far away, Ulala, who had not completely left, silently turned back to look at Dawn, who was shaking Ash's shoulders.
"I really envy you."
Ulala murmured this in a voice only she could hear.
"That's why I want to beat you even more, on stage... fair and square."
Ulala chuckled self-deprecatingly.
How was she feeling?
Perhaps, like this sunset, it is filled with contradictory colors.
Half of it represents the approaching dawn.
The other half represents the same night as before.
......
P.S.: I'm asking for a gift every day~ QAQ~!
