Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 339 The Princess's Wondrous Ideas

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you. My name is Salubia, and I'm the...princess of Piece Millet Town."

When asked about her final identity, Salubia hesitated for a moment.

After all, in this era, it's always a little embarrassing to call yourself a princess in front of outsiders.

But since Ash had already helped her get out of her shell, she felt that if she held back, it would be disrespectful to Ash.

But after listening to her introduction, Xiaozhi simply took a sip of... milk.

She looked completely at ease, showing no surprise whatsoever at her identity.

That's only natural. Having traveled for so many years, Ash has seen all sorts of people. Even just during his time traveling from Kanto to Sinnoh, he's met princesses, princes, kings, and so on.

Not surprising.

The only thing that still surprises Ash is that Salvia looks exactly like Dawn.

If it weren't for the elegance and wisdom revealed in her every move, even Xiao Zhi wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

Even their waveguides are almost identical; at first glance, there is no difference at all.

According to Ya Xuan, this situation should be impossible, but at least with Xiao Zhi's current skill level, he really can't tell that there is a difference between Salvia and Dawn's Aura.

perhaps--

Xiao Zhi thought to himself.

It's similar to the situation where my waveguide is almost identical to Mr. Aaron's.

Perhaps it was an accident, or perhaps it was part of fate.

......

"Hello, my name is Ash, and this is my partner, Pikachu."

"Pikachu~"

Ash and Pikachu also gave Salvia a brief self-introduction.

"So, may I ask what brings you here, Sabrina?"

Xiao Zhi asked curiously.

He remembered that Salvia had switched identities with Dawn once before, because she herself was very interested in Pokémon Contests, but because of her status as a princess, no matter how interested she was, Salvia still couldn't participate.

That's why she noticed Hikari, who looked almost exactly like her, and used Hikari's identity to participate in a grand competition.

She won her first Grand Contest and never showed the impatience or haste that a newcomer should have. It can be said that Salvia's talent in Grand Contests is just as terrifying as Hikari's.

"this......."

When asked about her purpose for coming, Salubia hesitated again.

As if she had gone through a difficult internal struggle, Salvia finally hesitated before taking a CD out of her bag and handing it to Ash.

"Could you please sign your name for me?"

Ash: "???"

what?

Ash thought that Salvia had something important to do, such as wanting to participate in another Contest, which was why he came here to find them.

In the end, the first thing Salubia did was sign her name.

Just as Ash was feeling speechless, Salvia started talking to herself again: "Because I'm also a fan of both of you. Your performances, whether at the Wallace Cup or on TV shows, were just too perfect! This makes me respect you so much that I wanted to come and see you in person!"

"Is...is that so...?"

When Salvia said this, she seemed to have completely changed, and her demeanor and temperament were much closer to Hikari's.

Reluctantly, Ash couldn't resist Salvia's enthusiasm, and besides, it was just a small matter, so he signed the CD that Salvia handed him.

"What is this thing?"

After returning the signed CD to Salvia, Ash couldn't help but ask another question out of curiosity.

"Huh? The protagonist himself doesn't know?!"

Salubia was taken aback, but then explained, "This contains all the battle footage recorded by you and Ms. Hikari, as well as recordings from previous programs and bonus content. This is a limited edition of 1000 copies, so it's very hard to get one."

Ash: "......"

He had no idea that this was even possible.

Is this thing really that sought after?

From Xiaozhi's perspective, he thought the show he and Xiaoguang participated in was quite boring.

After receiving the CD, Salvia seemed to have fulfilled a wish; the smile on her lips never faded, and she even hummed a few tunes.

"By the way, is Miss Xiaoguang here too? May I meet her?"

Despite being a princess, Salubia is now speaking as if Hikari is the princess.

It's a rather strange contrast.

"Hmm... Xiaoguang should be asleep by now, right? After all, we were traveling all night last night, so I don't think Xiaoguang will wake up tonight."

"Huh? But weren't you just—"

Sarubia covered her mouth in surprise.

Xiaozhi just told Yuxiang that he would give her an answer in an hour.

But since Hikari hasn't gotten up yet, then what Ash just said was—

"It's just a temporary hiatus," Xiaozhi said helplessly. "After all, Xiaoguang probably has no interest in participating in the show's filming right now."

"Really? What a pity..."

Sarubia looked regretful.

Her biggest wish in coming to Celestial City was to watch Ash and Dawn's show being recorded live.

I never expected that this wish would be dashed here.

A brief silence fell between them. Salubia kept her head down, sipping her coffee, seemingly deep in thought.

After a long while, she raised her eyes.

With a hint of excitement and nervousness in his eyes, he asked, "So, Mr. Xiaozhi, would you be willing to participate in this program filming?"

"Me?" Seemingly not expecting Salvia to ask such a question, Ash subconsciously replied, "I don't really care. I can participate in this kind of program or not, but if Dawn doesn't want to participate, it doesn't seem necessary for me to go and film it alone."

Anyway, Xiao Zhi has often been dragged into shooting commercials and the like in the past, so you can only say that he is already familiar with the job.

Filming this kind of program is not a troublesome thing for him.

"That......"

Salubia took a deep breath, her chest heaving.

It's clear how much courage and determination she had to muster to say what she was about to say.

"May I substitute for Ms. Xiaoguang in this program filming?"

"......ha?"

"Pikachu?"

Ash and Pikachu looked at each other simultaneously.

To be honest, this seemingly well-behaved princess seems to have wilder ideas than they do.

.......

P.S.: I'm asking for a gift every day~ QAQ~!
