Chapter 386 Futaba Festival, all ready!
"It seems your rival and I are a bit mismatched; he seems to have some prejudice against me."
"is it?"
Ash didn't know what they were talking about, so when Gary said it, Ash immediately believed him.
Besides, even if Gary didn't say anything, Ash could probably guess that the two of them weren't a good match, after all.
"After all, Shinji does have some prejudice against people who give up on their dreams halfway through. He's a little better now, but if it were before, people could probably feel the disgust on his face from several meters away."
"Pikachu~"
Pikachu nodded in agreement.
"Strange guy."
Xiao Mao shrugged dismissively.
Everyone's experiences are different. It's one thing to arbitrarily project one's own experiences and thoughts into someone else's world, but to express one's likes and dislikes for others so obviously is another.
However, in a way, this can be considered a frank side of Shinji.
Aren't you stranger than Shinji?
Ash couldn't help but think to himself, recalling how Gary looked when he first set off.
He wasn't surprised at the time that Professor Oak had allowed Gary to do such a thing.
At first, he thought it was because Xiao Mao's talent allowed him to do this, but now, looking back, it seems that the truth is not the same as he guessed.
"Ash, everything's ready for the Twinleaf Festival. Shall we go take a look around? Professor Oak and Gary won't be there for about an hour."
Meanwhile, after receiving news that preparations for the Twinleaf Festival were complete, Misty promptly interrupted the conversation between Ash and Gary.
Xiao Guang didn't know, but she knew very well.
If Ash and Gary continue chatting like this, things will definitely get out of control. If Misty doesn't step in and take back the initiative, she's sure she'll never have the chance to go to the Twinleaf Festival with Ash again.
"Huh? It's done so quickly? Didn't you say it wouldn't be ready until the afternoon?"
Xiao Zhi was impressed by the residents' enthusiasm for the festival.
Upon receiving the news, Ash stretched, intending to enjoy the festival. However, Gary, who had also received the news, became restless, asking with a puzzled look, "Wait a minute, what does this have to do with me?"
"It's probably because he's Professor Oak's grandson... Professor Oak is very popular here, and it's rare to have Professor Oak's legendary grandson here today, so everyone might be a little more enthusiastic..."
Hikari tilted her head at the opportune moment to express her opinion. Even though they had already set off on their trip, it would be a lie to say that Hikari wasn't curious about Professor Oak's grandson at all.
If Hikaru is like this, then the residents of Futaba Town must be even more upset.
Xiaomao: "..."
"I'll be right back."
Xiao Mao left quickly with a stiff expression.
Judging from Gary's expression, Ash could roughly guess that Gary had gone to settle scores with Professor Oak.
Even if he doesn't have any aversion to going on stage, Xiao Mao doesn't want to be unprepared for such an event.
Professor Oak couldn't possibly be completely unaware of this!
So it's definitely the right thing to do to settle accounts with him!
Watching Gary's departing figure, now shrouded in black mist, Ash silently felt a chill for Professor Oak.
"Let's go! Let's go check out the Futaba Festival!"
Seeing that Gary had already left, Dawn walked over to Ash, patted him on the shoulder, and invited him to visit the Twinleaf Festival together.
This is Twinleaf Town, her home turf!
As a resident who grew up here, it's only natural that she would take on the responsibility of showing Ash around, right?
"Yes, it's time to go take a look."
Xiao Zhi didn't think much of it. After all, it was already this late, and there was less than an hour left before the official opening. Although most of the festival's main events were at night, the stalls were still pretty much the same during the day and night, and there was still plenty of food to eat.
Besides, he had events to attend in the evening, and he couldn't let Shigeru and Shinji steal all the limelight, could he?
Just as Xiaoguang was leading Xiaozhi straight towards the venue, Xiaoxia, who had been waiting for a long time, finally found her chance. She jogged to Xiaozhi's side with a smile on her face and grabbed his arm, her voice filled with excitement.
"Let's go! Let's go see for ourselves!"
"Wait a minute! Don't rush! Why are you running?!"
"Pikachu~?"
Ash and Pikachu were used to Misty's straightforward behavior and didn't think anything was wrong at first. However, Dawn, who could only run behind them, couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Her movements were so relaxed and natural; no wonder she's the girl who started her first trip with Ash.
In Xiao Guang's mind, Xiao Xia's figure began to appear more and more "majestic".
In contrast, compared to Xiaoxia, the other one is indeed much less impressive.
Xiao Guang thought to himself.
......
The site for the Futaba Festival has been set up.
The sky wasn't yet dark, so the lanterns hanging above the stalls weren't lit, but whether it was the bright light or just a pleasant mood, the lanterns seemed to faintly shimmer. Since the festival was organized by the residents of Futaba Town, the people responsible for creating a lively atmosphere were naturally the residents themselves.
Even though it hasn't officially opened for business yet, there are already quite a few tourists from other towns and cities who have come to visit the Futaba Festival.
Tourists formed small groups of two or three, constantly filling the gaps in the venue.
Unlike the previous festival that Ash and his friends attended, if the last festival was a scene of the Dustows courting and migrating, and therefore could be considered a festival for couples.
This year's Futaba Festival is aimed at everyone who loves the atmosphere and festivals, so there are very few scenes of just one man and one woman standing side by side.
In this situation, Ash and his friends stand out.
"Hey...aren't you guys standing a little too close? It's so hot..."
“Pikachu…”
At first, Ash was being dragged along by Misty, and then Dawn jogged up and took up space on Ash's other side. As they moved forward, the space that Ash could have stretched out suddenly became crowded.
The roads here are clearly so wide.
Xiao Zhi was a little puzzled.
......
PS: Long time no see! It's been more than two months since my last update. After being made a homeroom teacher at the beginning of the new semester, things were a little better in the class at first, but as time went on, things got worse and worse. All sorts of unpleasant things happened one after another, and I was completely exhausted. Two or three days a week, I had to get up at 5:40 am and not get back to the dormitory until 11 pm. The workload increased exponentially, but I only received a subsidy of less than 2 yuan.
Fortunately, the new classes ended and the academic exams were over, finally bringing a bit of a break. After talking to the school for a long time, I finally managed to get rid of the homeroom teacher position. Since I had already signed a new contract for another year, I would have to work for another year. Moreover, it would be difficult to get my child into the second year of high school after I got rid of the homeroom teacher position. So, after finishing the new year, I plan to resign and find a school that is more conducive to my physical and mental well-being to continue working.
After starting work, enthusiasm is easily worn down. Sitting in front of the computer every day, I can't seem to write anything. As soon as I get off work, I collapse onto my bed, drowsily scrolling through my phone. I can't seem to learn anything. (?Д`)
Thankfully, things are a bit easier now, so I should be able to find some time to write a little bit every day, right? Although it's been such a long break, not many people are reading anymore~ QAQ~ And this darn summer vacation, it's only less than three weeks long, it's so awful...
