As far as Cassidy knew.
Over the past period of time, the other three-man team on the San Trianon has not performed well in their mission.
There was no subsequent splash, and it seemed to have become lonely and silent.
This also made Cassidy feel that he was increasingly distanced from those guys.
The two sides have been drifting further and further apart, the other side is stagnant, while they are continuing to climb higher.
No matter how you look at it, there is already a considerable distance between the two sides.
Cassidy even stopped considering Jessie James and the others as his Rivals.
"The people of Normal are so innocent!"
"We're going to select the best Pokémon from here and send them to our boss!"
"Then the boss smiled, gave us a lot of rewards, and gave us a lot of money..."
"Let's collect all these Pokémon in one go!!"
Cassidy was full of fighting spirit, and even Butch, who was busy beside her, was full of energy.
[If love is everything in the world, what can the beloved money say?]
This is the slogan of both of them!!
They are all working hard for the white tomorrow that is truly waiting for them!!
But~~~
"You are Cassidy and Butch, right?"
When the two were daydreaming, a discordant voice beside them interrupted their vision.
"It's us, who are you?"
Cassidy spoke automatically.
Then she knew she was not good and revealed her real name
Hurry and look at who is asking the question...
"Woof~!!"
Growlithe bared his teeth and roared at her, and Officer Jenny beside him also looked serious.
"You admit it? You are indeed a member of Team Rocket!!"
She quickly pulled out her baton and handcuffs, and said, "I am arresting you for illegal activities now!!"
Amazon "687" Duo and Butch: "???!!!"
How come Officer Jenny came to my house?!!
When did they reveal the secret?!
Their disguise was so perfect, without any mistakes, but their identities were still exposed...
"Growlithe, use Fire Spin to tie them up, don't let them escape!"
"Ouch!!"
A vortex of raging flames began to spread.
"Wow!!"
Cassidy and Butch were immediately in a panic and started screaming and yelling.
The scene fell into chaos for a moment.
"So they really are from Team Rocket!"
Not far away, on the corner of the street, Misty and Xiaogang were watching this scene, both a little surprised.
"Luckily I didn't send my Psyduck over there..."
Misty breathed a sigh of relief, but then became confused:
"But Ash, how did you know those people were from Team Rocket?"
"Just some feelings..."
Ash tapped his head, "They have similar characteristics to Jessie James and others before."
"Trait? I don't understand..."
Misty didn't quite understand, but Xiaogang seemed to be thinking about something.
"Is it because of Psychic that your perception has been greatly enhanced, Ash?
After challenging Sabrina at the Saffron Gym, she obtained the Psychic entry.
During this period of time, Ash has also been practicing.
During this period, Xiaogang and Misty also knew about this matter.
However, they all thought that Ash's ability was activated accidentally during the duel with Sabrina.
He just congratulated Ash and didn't pay too much attention to it.
And now, it is a good reason.
"But if that's the case, my Psyduck won't be able to breed properly anymore..."
Misty felt that her headache was worse than Psyduck's, who always had a headache:
"How should I deal with it…?"
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much about it. Just treat it as a normal Pokémon.
"What's more, if we let things take their own course~~~"
Ash pointed to a store nearby.
"The existence and uniqueness of Psyduck itself actually has its own reason."
"Um?"
Misty raised her head subconsciously when she heard that.
Following the direction of Ash's finger, I looked towards the store next door.
"Is this a restaurant? Ash, are you hungry?"
"No, this...
Xiao Gang found something a little off: "It says [All-you-can-eat Omurice] on it!"
Fangti means "free, unrestricted".
It means self-service, but it is different from traditional buffet.
In a normal buffet, the cooked food is displayed and guests can take whatever they want.
The "all-you-can-eat" option allows customers to sit at their tables in order, and the food is cooked as they are ordered.
The three of them saw the all-you-can-eat omelette rice buffet at the restaurant because it was celebrating its first anniversary.
All you can eat omelette rice.
"Great! Omurice is my favorite!"
Although she didn't know what this had to do with her Psyduck, it didn't stop Misty from getting excited.
"But this can't be free, right?"
Xiao Gang warned in advance: "There must be a setting, such as having to eat ten large plates or something like that."
"ah?"
Misty was a little distressed: "If it's eight plates, I should be fine, right?"
Ash and Gon: "???"
You can't tell at ordinary times that you can eat so much?
Looks like a mermaid, but is actually a pig Stephanie?
"Don't worry, don't worry, you don't need to eat so much!"
The boss who heard the noise opened the door and came out with a smile on his face and said:
"But as long as one condition is met, it will be fine!"
"One condition?"
"That's right!"
The boss nodded affirmatively, "As long as I can actually see the Pokémon I like, I will treat them to omelette rice!"
"Is that all?!"
Misty suddenly became happy again. "As long as I see a Pokémon I like, we have so many Pokémon on us, it must be another one that you, the boss, will like..."
At this point, Misty was startled, then she thought of something and said with a somewhat uncertain tone:
"Boss, your favorite Pokémon... has a request, right?"
"Of course!!"
The boss put his hands on his hips and raised his head: "I have my own pursuits!"
"This is what I want to see!!"
The boss carefully took out a favorite photo of his.
I only saw the Pokémon in the photo...
"Psycho Duck?!"
Looking at the extremely familiar yellow duck, Misty was instantly petrified.
She never imagined that there were actually people who liked Psyduck.
And...Ash was right?!!
The owner of this omelette restaurant is a big duck fan.
In his own words:
"My heart just gets excited when I think about Psyduck."
"If I can touch Psyduck, I'll eat omelette rice or anything else!"
"All you can eat!!"
Since the boss has such a simple wish, Ash and the others will naturally satisfy it.
No matter what the boss wants to look at or touch, please feel free to do so.
Well, anyway, with Psyduck's silly personality, he will be fine no matter how many times he is touched.
"It's just surprising that someone would like Psyduck..."
Misty was showing off her omelette rice there coolly, and she sighed as she looked at the boss who was hugging and taking photos with Psyduck.
"I can only say that there are all kinds of people in this world..."
Xiao Gang also enjoyed the special treatment and said while eating his omelette rice:
"I heard that some people like Muk's Grimer..."
"Don't say things like that while you're eating!!"
A group of people filled their stomachs here.
In addition, he also received thanks from Officer Jenny who arrested Cassidy and Butch.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ash!!"
Officer Jenny also started to praise him, "It's really been all along..."
"I've all heard rumors about Mr. Ash. Now it seems that his reputation is well-deserved..."
Xiaogang and Misty were standing aside and took over the conversation in a low voice.
Well, now when Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy open their mouths, they know what to say.
The main reason is that from the beginning of the adventure to now, the two of them have heard so much that their ears are almost callused.
I've listened to it so many times that I'm almost tired of it.
When they first started receiving praise, they were genuinely happy and proud of Ash.
But now, they are gradually becoming numb.
Ash's excellence doesn't need so many people to keep telling him over and over again~~~
However, Officer Jenny is different in every city.
Every time they go to a new city, they will meet a different Officer Jenny.
These people were meeting Ash for the first time.
Coupled with the rumors I heard before, it is inevitable to express such feelings.
Therefore, Xiaogang and Xiaolu looked at each other.
He also automatically closed his ears and continued to eat his meal.
"Pika~Pika!"
Even Pikachu was busy eating the ketchup on the omelette rice.
Well, it likes this tomato-flavored sauce better than rice and eggs.
"Be able to discover the occurrence of crime in the first place and report it to us in a timely manner..."
Officer Jenny from this city was full of emotion: "Mr. Ash is not only capable, but also very responsible."
"There are not many people like you, Mr. Ash, who are serious, responsible, and enthusiastic."
"If everyone could be like Mr. Ash, our work would be much easier."
Ash just smiled and waved his hand modestly:
"Officer Jenny, you are exaggerating. I just tried my best."
Ash did try his best and it was within his ability.
Because he knew that neither Jessie James, nor Cassidy and Butch would be his Rival.
They can't cause any trouble to themselves either.
If Ash were to face Giovanni, the big boss, head-on, he would definitely have to think carefully.
As for other ordinary people~~~
Ash smiled at this, but he was complaining in his heart:
"Officer Jenny from your police station caught the criminal, but failed to keep him properly."
"And there is no
The punishment and sentence is just to keep them in jail.
"As a result, these guys escaped from prison one after another and ran outside."
"When the people see this situation, who dares to speak out and help?"
"Aren't you all afraid that you will be robbed later?"
Of course, I can only say these words in my heart and cannot say them in front of Officer Jenny.
However, we still need to raise this issue with the Pokémon Alliance through Professor Oak.
After that, they entertained each other for a while, and Misty, Xiaogang and the others were also full and satisfied.
It's time for them to head towards their next destination.
"By the way, you are heading to Cinnabar Island next, right?"
Before parting, Officer Jenny seemed to remember something:
"This place is very close to Cinnabar Island, not far away.
"I heard from the sisters on the island that the reward that the Pokémon Alliance wants to give to Mr. Ash has already arrived at the Pokémon Center over there.
award?
Ash thought about it, oh yes, and there was also the reward for Helping resolve the fight between two gyms in the Dark City.
He and the prosecutor's Nurse Joy did a great job in completing the task.
Ash still remembered that at the time, he said that the reward given by Alliance would be distributed to the city where his next Trio Badge gym was located.
It seems that this is indeed the Cinnabar Island where the Cinnabar Gym is located.
"It just so happens that I haven't challenged a gym in a long time. It's time to stretch my muscles!"
Ash perked up.
"Pika~Pika!!"
Pikachu was sitting on his shoulder, also full of fighting spirit.
"Hey~!"
Even the Gengar in the darkness was grinning.
They are also looking forward to the next gym challenge.
Cinnabar Island, where the Cinnabar Gym is located, is located on Cinnabar Island.
This is a large island in the southern waters of the Kanto Region, south of Pallet Town.
There is a huge volcano on the island, and there is no land road connecting it to Cinnabar Island.
Waterway 20 in the east and Waterway 21 in the north are both sea routes.
So if you want to come here, you can only take a ship and cross the sea.
Due to the inconvenient transportation, there are very few Trainers coming here to challenge the gym Badge.
On the contrary, most people come here to rest and vacation.
Well, because of the huge volcano on the island, the hot spring industry here has developed very well.
So much so that the entire island is almost developed into a seaside resort.
"It is said that the Cinnabar Laboratory on Cinnabar Island has been engaged in the cultivation and research of stronger Pokémon. It is a place that Pokémon Trainers from all over the country will flock to."
"But, that's all in the past...
On the ship, Ash looked at the passengers who were obviously dressed for tourism, as well as the laughing people.
It is obvious that the identities of these people 1.3 and Trainer are not related at all.
"Once known as the place that Pokémon Trainers admired, Cinnabar Island is now a tourist destination famous for its hot springs…"
Ash took out a stack of hot spring coupons from his backpack.
This is the hot spring invitation ticket given by the contractor as a reward after I helped the contractor solve Diglett's problem.
"Is it the one on Cinnabar Island?"
Ash looked at the address on the invitation ticket:
"Stay at a private home?"
This name sounds somewhat familiar.
"Is this a hotel opened by a boss who likes guessing riddles?"
Misty got one and was also a little curious.
"Maybe this is a signboard and feature specially created by this hotel to attract more customers to stay here?"
Xiaogang didn't care much.
As long as the place you live is not too shabby, the key is...
"It would be great if I could meet those beautiful ladies in bathrobes in this hot spring resort!!"
He began to have beautiful fantasies there again.
"Hey hey…"
In the dark shadows, Gengar rubbed his claws.
I feel like I haven't treated Xiaogang properly for a while.
Maybe after so much time has passed, it's time to remind him and make him remember it~
Gengar weighed the matter silently in his mind.
"Riddle?"
Ash smiled.
He remembered that on this Cinnabar Island, there was an old man who loved to guess riddles.
And the identity of this old man is the person they are looking for~~~
Soon, the ferry that Ash and his group were on arrived at the shore.
After landing on the island, the atmosphere of hot spring life hits you in the face.
Almost everything about hot spring culture can be seen on this island with the naked eye.
Ash and the others looked around curiously while searching for the location of the boarding house.
