Ace's heart was in turmoil.
Or rather, he had never imagined that he could win Green's heart.
His past help to Green was partly because he was a Transmigrator who knew Green's history.
He genuinely felt sorry for the girl and also admired her character.
She had a mischievous side, a side that loved watching drama unfold, and a side that was a gentle and caring big sister.
One could say that among the characters in Ace's previous life, Green's character arc was the one he appreciated the most.
But it was precisely because of this that Ace found it difficult to distinguish whether his feelings for Green were genuine love or merely sympathy and admiration.
If it were before, Ace might not have hesitated.
However, the memory of his fleeting romance with Zinnia made him pause.
In Ace's previous life, monogamy was the norm, and he was a dedicated person. Therefore, the emotional hurdle in his heart was difficult to overcome.
"Title Quest (Ask the Heart): Sensing that the host's mind is currently in chaos, this system has thoughtfully prepared a small trial for you. An exclusive title will be awarded based on your choice."
"...You're just enjoying the drama, aren't you?"
Ace complained, but he had to admit that the system's interruption allowed him to momentarily break free from the entanglement in his heart.
Ace suddenly recalled the essay "Red Rose and White Rose" written by Eileen Chang in his previous life.
Perhaps every man has had these two women, at least two!
If he marries the red rose, over time, the red rose becomes a streak of mosquito blood on the wall, and the white rose is still the "bright moonlight by the bedside."
If he marries the white rose, the white rose becomes a grain of rice crust on his clothes, and the red one is still the cinnabar mole on his heart.
In truth, many men are like this: what they possess is no longer precious, and what remains unattainable becomes all the more valuable, leaving a lasting impression. This is a deep-seated flaw buried in every human heart.
The sudden spread of his thoughts made Ace smile bitterly.
One could say that Green was his White Rose, and Zinnia was his Red Rose.
Choosing between the passionate and lively Red Rose or the pure and gentle White Rose was indeed a difficult decision.
Thinking this, Ace stopped what he was doing, reached out, and ruffled Green's head, messing up her silky long hair.
The atmosphere was instantly broken. Green immediately raised her head in annoyance and glared fiercely at Ace.
"I plan to go on a vacation for a while. Do you want to come with me?"
As Green was fixing her hair, Ace's single sentence made her heart immediately pound.
"If you don't want to, then..."
"Time and place!"
Before Ace could finish his sentence, Green fiercely grabbed Ace's collar and said sternly: "You're dead if you don't wait for me!"
Ace smiled, then looked toward Ash.
Ash was currently with Yellow, and the two were chatting and laughing. It was impossible to tell that he was currently in a love triangle!
Yellow, Misty, who will you choose?
The villa was lively for three days. On the fourth morning, Ace traveled light, bringing only his Blissey, Reshiram , and Aerodactyl. He headed straight for Hoenn.
Of course, he brought the trio of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald along.
"Senior Ace, where did you catch this big guy? It's so cool!"
Ruby stood on Reshiram's back, examining its entire body. Reshiram's powerful physique greatly matched Ruby's aesthetic.
"The Unova region."
Ace replied flatly. The Hoenn region was already appearing before their eyes.
After dropping the trio off at Petalburg City, Ace did not linger. Instead, he spent a few minutes rushing to the sky above Meteor Falls.
Descending from Meteor Falls, Ace found Elder Drasna Green standing on the suspension bridge, observing the sky.
"Grandma."
Ace leaped from the top of Reshiram's head, landing steadily on the ground beside the suspension bridge.
Elder Drasna nodded to Ace, then fixed her gaze on Reshiram.
"A noble true Dragon."
Elder Drasna bowed slightly to Reshiram, showing her respect.
Reshiram, in turn, examined the space. It could keenly sense that the Dragon-type energy in this area was abundant, making it a perfect habitat for Dragon-type Pokémon.
Ace first recalled Reshiram. Its immense size was sometimes quite inconvenient.
"Ace, your strength is growing stronger and stronger."
Elder Drasna looked at Ace with satisfaction, walked over to him, and said: "Is there something you need here in Meteor Falls this time?"
Ace nodded, then pulled open one side of his windbreaker, revealing his Dragon Scale Robe, which had two holes in it. "Grandma, can this clothing be repaired?"
Elder Drasna looked at the Dragon Scale Robe on Ace's body with surprise. She walked forward and touched the edge of the scaled armor where it had been pierced.
"How did this happen?" Elder Drasna asked Ace.
"I encountered a powerful enemy, and it was directly shot through."
Ace didn't hide anything and briefly recounted the incident involving Deoxys.
Elder Drasna frowned slightly and said to Ace: "It can be repaired. But Ace, you must be careful not to get injured again. We cannot afford to bear the circumstances of the Successor dying once more."
"I know."
Ace nodded, then followed Elder Drasna toward Meteor Falls.
"Lord Ace!"
Shortly after entering Meteor Falls, Ace and Zinnia ran into each other head-on.
Ace felt instantly awkward. He had just had a brief romance with Zinnia, and now he was planning to go on vacation with Green.
At this moment, Ace felt a bit like a scoundrel.
Zinnia glanced at Ace, her eyes showing a slight confusion, followed by a hint of understanding.
Zinnia smiled, walked over to Ace's side, and followed behind him: "Is there something you need in Meteor Falls, Lord Ace? I will wholeheartedly assist you."
"Nothing important."
Ace quickly said: "I just came to repair the Dragon Scale Robe."
Zinnia was momentarily stunned, then nodded thoughtfully, saying nothing more.
Elder Drasna led Ace to her house and had him hand over the Dragon Scale Robe, saying she would find a way to help Ace repair it.
After Elder Drasna left with the Dragon Scale Robe, Zinnia looked at Ace, sighed slightly, and said: "Lord Ace, please rest assured. I will forever be the sharp blade in your hand, cutting away all obstacles for you!"
Ace opened his mouth but ultimately failed to say anything...;
