c130: Ash Moved the Internet Audience!!
Seeing Ash sighing with guilt and frustration, both Yoko and the audience watching the live broadcast were visibly affected.
"Oh~ Ash is truly too kindhearted."
"My heart aches for him. Someone give that boy a hug."
"This child's values are incredibly upright. His future accomplishments will definitely be immense!"
Ash, unaware of the live audience's emotional response, simply knew many were watching the broadcast. With his heartfelt explanation laid out, it was finally time to address what he had prepared.
"Although I don't know the exact name of my Psychic ability," he began, "after experimenting for two days, I discovered that besides healing injuries, my Psychic can do something else."
"When I channel my Psychic into a Pokémon's body, it can temporarily improve their ability to comprehend and learn moves. It helps them grasp techniques faster than normal."
He paused, then smiled lightly.
"Because of this, I applied to open an official online store through the Pokémon Alliance's certified trade network. I've named it Ash's Skill Miao-Miao House."
He turned to Yoko with earnestness.
"Sister Yoko, if you ever have a Pokémon who wants to learn new moves, I hope you'll stop by and support my store!"
"Wow! Brother Ash, that's incredible!" Yoko exclaimed. "Your Psychic can even enhance a Pokémon's learning efficiency? That's almost like what top-tier Move Tutors do!"
She blinked with surprise. "But... you're only six years old! How could you come up with the idea of registering an online store? Isn't that something only adults handle?"
Ash responded without hesitation.
"I don't think age should stop me from acting. My dream is to become the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer—Pokémon World's Mightiest."
"That dream is massive, and the road to achieving it won't be easy. Training Pokémon, traveling across regions—it all takes money. And I come from a simple, working-class family in Pallet Town."
His tone softened.
"My father left on a journey long ago and... he never came back. I've never seen him. He hasn't sent my mother or me any living expenses."
"My mom's been raising me by herself. She grows crops and does small weaving crafts to support us."
"But even then... we still can't afford the Earl Dervish Pokémon tax."
At those words, many of the viewers watching at home suddenly felt tears in their eyes.
"Oh no... This kid is breaking my heart. He's so mature for his age."
"His father left and never returned... and he just assumes his dad is off traveling. That innocence is painful."
"Yeah, and most kids his age are still being babied. Ash is just six and already thinking about earning money to support his mom. I'm literally crying."
"Such a sweet, brave, and sensible child... I want to protect him."
The broadcast chat exploded with messages expressing love, empathy, and support for Ash. Unknown to him, the emotional resonance of his story had sparked a wave of compassion across the Pokémon regions watching the stream.
He wasn't just seen as a gifted Psychic or a future Trainer anymore—he was the symbol of hope and responsibility wrapped in the form of a six-year-old boy.
"Oh my Arceus... this kid, dreaming of becoming a Pokémon Master, and his family can't even afford the Earl Dervish Pokémon tax. What a heartbreaking situation!"
"I understand how hard it must be for Ash's mother to raise him alone. But she's clearly an extraordinary woman to raise such a kind, responsible child."
"Still, just thinking about Ash—only six years old and unable to pay the Earl Dervish Pokémon tax—it's too much to bear."
"Excuse me, is Ash's mother watching this live broadcast? Here's my contact number: xxxxxxxxx. Please reach out and send your bank details. I'd like to help cover Ash's Earl Dervish tax."
"Whoa, big props to Hideki-san above!"
"I have two daughters and my wife handles our finances, but seriously, I want to help this kid too. Please give Ash's mom my info after the show. I can't cover the full amount, but I want to help however I can."
"I'm just a student, and I don't have much money. Can someone post the name of Ash's online store—the one that helps Pokémon learn moves? I want to support it when it goes live!"
"Ash's Skill Miao Miao House!"
"Ash's Skills Wonderful House!"
"Ash's House of Skills!"

Ash had no idea how deeply his words were affecting the public. He'd only intended to promote his online store—a move inspired by his prior life's memories—and ended up stirring the hearts of countless viewers.
...
A major reason for this, of course, is the inherently kind nature of people in the Pokémon world. But just as important is Ash's own backstory.
His father had vanished long ago. Raised solely by his mother, Ash came from a humble, working-class family. Despite his lofty dream to become the Pokémon World's Mightiest Trainer, reality was harsh: they couldn't even afford the basic tax needed for him to receive an Earl Dervish Pokémon.
As a time traveler now inhabiting a six-year-old's body, Ash—who once lived an orphan's life—lacked emotional attachment to this kind of hardship. In fact, he had long since developed a stoic independence.
Rather than dwell on his family's poverty or feel resentment, Ash simply felt grateful for this second chance at life in the Pokémon world.
He never pitied himself or blamed others. Instead, his instinct was always to work harder to solve problems on his own.
Ironically, this unwavering positivity and work ethic made the audience ache for him even more—something Ash himself remained unaware of.
While viewers were wiping away tears for the boy with the unshakable heart, Ash was busy mentally planning: Once summer camp ends and the shop opens, what skills should I list first? What should my pricing model look like? Should I offer bundle discounts?
"Ah!!! Brother Ash, did you say you haven't paid the Earl Dervish Pokémon tax yet?"
The scene shifted back to the summer camp. When Ash mentioned this fact, Yoko gasped and covered her mouth in surprise.
"Yeah," Ash nodded. "The Alliance provides Rookie Trainers their Earl Dervish Pokémon as part of the standard support plan, but there's a processing tax attached. It's normal, but it's a huge burden for us."
"My mom worked hard to scrape the money together right before camp began. She was planning to complete the payment, but I stopped her."
"Eh?! But why?" Yoko looked puzzled. "Isn't your dream to become a Pokémon Master? You'll need your Earl Dervish Pokémon for that, right?"
Ash's eyes didn't waver.
"Yes, that's still my dream. But if chasing that dream means pushing my mom beyond her limits... I'd rather wait a bit and figure it out on my own."
