Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 359 Discovering the Little Light of Everything

"Please sit up straight!"

"Yes!"

This was the first time Hikari had spoken to Satoshi in such an angry tone.

Dawn, whose mood had already improved at a visible speed, smiled again after learning that Ash had managed to complete the challenge of the Chip Gym all by himself.

This time, Xiao Gang didn't even have the courage to sit down and eat with them. He just patted his stomach, pretended to be full, and slunk away with his bowl.

Even Pikachu and Piplup wisely followed Brock and left the place.

Ash was left alone to face the smiling Dawn.

Xiao Zhi was completely isolated and helpless.

"Well... there's nothing we can do about it..."

Xiao Zhi was sweating profusely.

After all, regarding Hunter J, he had already broken his promise to Hikari in Veil City once.

Leaving Hikari behind to challenge the gym alone also broke another promise made with Hikari.

He felt somewhat guilty, so he could only explain it this way:

“If we hadn’t been able to challenge the Seraphim Gym back then, we would have had to stay in Seraphim City for more than a week. Aren’t you still missing a Ribbon Badge? If we stayed here for too long, we would have missed a lot of Grand Contests. Besides, you were still fast asleep at the time, and I didn’t want to wake you up.”

"Hmm...that's true..."

Xiao Guang was completely discouraged after hearing this.

He rested his head on the table, puffed out his cheeks, and looked very depressed.

However, after hearing Ash's explanation, Dawn's frustration was more directed at herself.

If she hadn't been sleeping, if she hadn't slacked off before and had actually participated in every Grand Contest, Ash probably wouldn't have broken his promise this time.

"It's my problem."

Hikaru said helplessly, "But I still want to see your gym battle live and cheer you on!"

"Next time, definitely next time."

After seeing that Dawn's emotions had stabilized again, Ash finally had the leisure to crack a joke.

"Sigh, looks like I'll have to check out the match replay... The replay should be out by now, right? Since it's from yesterday's match."

Thinking of this, Xiao Guang quickly finished the remaining rice on his plate, then got up and walked towards the machine in the Pokémon Center that contained recordings of different trainers challenging gyms.

......

"You passed the test."

"Pikachu".

"Poga~"

After seeing from afar that Ash's problem had been resolved, the three of them finally strolled back leisurely.

Xiao Gang couldn't help but tease Xiao Zhi about it.

"There's nothing we can do; things have just been going on and on since we arrived in Qiefeng City."

No one wants to break a contract, and Xiaozhi is no exception.

However, since arriving in Chefton City, he has indeed not stopped for a single moment.

The challenge of the Chifeng Dojo, filming the show, and then hunting down Hunter J.

Looking back on what he had done in the past two days, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but marvel at himself for being an iron man, able to continue working at such a high intensity after staying up all night.

It's definitely better to be young.

"Ash! We found the recording! Brock, do you want to watch it with us?!"

While they were chatting, Xiao Guang successfully found the recording of Xiao Zhi's battle from yesterday on the machine.

Excited, she shouted, begging Xiaogang to come over and take a look with her.

The two exchanged a glance, smiled helplessly, and then walked over to Xiaoguang's side, waiting for the video to play.

Like any recording of a gym battle, the footage will first show the entire scene before focusing on the two trainers and the battle arena in the center.

The moment the video feed turned on, Xiao Gang felt as if his breathing had stopped.

Yup!

Xiao Gang exclaimed inwardly.

How could I have forgotten about this?!

Appearing in the corner of the screen was none other than Salubia, who looked exactly like Hikari.

Xiao Gang was now sweating profusely.

After all, he knew that Dawn was unaware of Salvia's existence. When Ash came to discuss important matters with Dawn, Dawn had already fallen into a deep sleep and didn't even know what he had promised.

Although Xiaogang knew that things would eventually come to light, he never expected that they would be exposed today!

Xiao Gang: "..."

Xiao Gang looked at Xiao Guang with a thoughtful expression.

Sure enough, Xiaoguang also noticed herself in the stands, so she silently reached out and pressed pause, her gaze fixed on the screen, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"What's wrong?" Ash clearly hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation. He was just puzzled that Dawn had been so excited to watch his gym battle just a moment ago, but the next second the screen was frozen on this spot.

"I--"

Xiao Guang hesitated for a moment, then frowned and pointed to "himself" on the screen.

Have I ever worn clothes like this?

Xiao Guang asked, still confused.

On screen, she, or rather, Salubia, was not wearing an expensive gown, but the style and design were still noticeably more sophisticated than the clothes worn by ordinary people.

Xiao Guang immediately realized that he did not have such clothes.

Secondly, it was confirmed, and confirmed directly from Ash himself, that he had not been able to attend Ash's gym battle in person.

So who exactly is the person watching the game live on the screen?

It's no wonder Xiaoguang asked that question; after all, who would believe that there could be someone in this world who looks exactly like them?

Moreover, the person who looked exactly like me ended up in the same city as me.

"Hmm? Didn't I bring her to see you before? She's Princess Salubia. Although she looks exactly like you, she's a princess. She usually lives in her hometown castle, but she's only come to Chefeng City these past few days because she's had a rare period of freedom."

That's all!

You absolutely must stop!

Please don't say it again!!

Xiao Gang kept praying in his heart.

As long as Ash doesn't say the other thing, nothing will happen. But if Ash can't hold back and says it out loud—

"Then, with your permission, Princess Salvia borrowed your identity to participate in the Sinnoh NOW program filmed in Celeste City, right?"

send!

"My...identity?"

Xiao Guang was stunned, and even his voice fell completely silent.

"Correct."

"With you?"

"Correct."

Xiao Gang: "......"

Not anymore!

Of the thirty-six stratagems, the best is to flee!

Xiao Gang gave up completely, just as he was tiptoeing away.

A terrifying force suddenly came from his shoulder.

Turning around, I saw that Xiao Guang's face had once again displayed a kind smile.

"Xiao Gang~ Where are you going~?"

"It's none of my business!!!"

.......

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