Dejima is also a popular tourist spot with leisure facilities such as cafes.
However, recently some Voltorbs used by scientists on the island for experiments escaped and are secretly increasing in number.
Then, due to environmental adaptation, most of them evolved into Electrode.
Also, due to the large number and low density, explosions often occur in the city, forcing people to move to Outcast Island.
After a while, people invited Diglett Trainer Qiang Ge to send Electrode from the debut through the tunnel dug by Diglett to the grassland on Hamlin Island.
Hamlin Island is a crescent-shaped island with urban settlements on the outside of the crescent and on the outside of both edges, and ten large plains in the middle of the island.
Brother Qiang sent his Diglett and Dugtrio to dig a tunnel from Dejima to the prairie of Hamlin Island.
Through this channel, Brother Qiang transported Electrode and Voltorb to the grassland where they could survive.
Then peace was restored on the island and the residents returned to the island.
After Ash and others came here from Shamouti Island, they found that the Diglett Trainer had already solved the incident.
It just so happened that Ash didn't have any Pokémon that were good at Dig, so he couldn't deal with such an incident.
On the contrary, everything was very peaceful now, allowing them to board the liaison ship smoothly and return to Pallet Town.
"Professor Oak's Laboratory is right there..."
At the entrance of Pallet Town, Tracey looked at the houses ahead with longing.
"Finally, I can meet Professor Oak!!"
"I'm so looking forward to it!!!"
As a Pokémon observer, he wants to meet his idol, Professor Oak.
Tracey followed Ash all the way here and finally arrived at Pallet Town!!
"I think the Professor must be waiting for you too..."
Ash also wanted to say something to comfort him and reduce his tension.
But when he turned around~~~
"I have to prepare these reports for him to read..."
I saw Tracey had already taken out all the records and reports in her backpack.
It was piled up like a small hill on the side of the road.
"Which one should I choose? I can't ask him to read all of them..."
Ash:
"I think I'll choose after I get home~~~"
Misty also curled her lips and agreed:
"That's right, Ash's mother must be waiting impatiently at home, right?"
Tracey: "Yeah…I'm so sorry!"
He immediately put away the reports in a hurry and followed Ash and the others.
The first stop after returning to Pallet Town is naturally to go home.
It is reasonable for both Misty and Tracey to go with Ash to visit his mother Delia.
Especially Misty, she has been feeling a sense of crisis recently.
The incident with Lugia also made her understand one thing deeply.
That is, as Ash continues to travel, he will encounter major events one after another.
At the same time, you will also meet one very distinctive Stephanie after another... in short, confidante.
At that time, Misty was very doubtful whether she could hold on among all the Stephanies.
What if a Stephanie appears who also aims to be a Water Type Master, who is prettier than me, gentler in character, better in temper, stronger in strength, and more talented...
How could such a Stephanie exist? It's impossible!!
Misty was extremely in denial at first, but then she couldn't help but start to associate it in many other directions.
In the end, the answer she came up with was...
"I will take advantage of this unique advantage and first build up a good impression of Ash's mother, Delia!!"
This is Misty's maternal style!!
I have to say that this approach is still very wise. At least for the time being, it may be very effective~~~
Knock knock.
Standing in front of his own door, Ash knocked twice as a greeting.
Then he skillfully prepared to open the door and go home.
After traveling for such a long time and experiencing such a big event.
Ash really missed his own bed...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to the next rest time.
However, there is a guy who is more looking forward to it than him.
"Hey~!!!"
Gengar seemed to sense something and suddenly jumped out from the shadows under Ash's feet.
Click.
He pushed the door open and rushed in.
"Eh? What happened?!"
Misty and Tracey were stunned, totally confused as to why Gengar suddenly went crazy.
Ash, on the other hand, seemed to have remembered something, and his expression became a little strange.
Being able to make Gengar so excited, even itching to do it...
It seems that there is only ~~~
"Wow, Gengar, long time no see, are you back?"
A very familiar voice reached the ears of the three people outside.
"This voice sounds so familiar~~~"
Misty almost didn't recognize him at first.
...
"Gengar, are Ash and the others okay... Hey, hey, hey, stop staring at my waist! What's that look in your eyes?!"
"Stop it, don't use the Poison Jab on me, wua ...
Misty: "...It's Xiaogang."
Kidney, Poison Jab, Paralysis...
Obviously, this was the business that Gengar was most proficient in before.
Yes, it seems that the only one who can make Gengar have such a strong obsession is Xiaogang.
Especially after he left the team, Gengar felt a little depressed because of his absence during the entire Orange Islands trip.
They are all depressed there, as if they have lost their goals in life.
And now, seeing how full of energy it was, it was obvious that the Xiaogang he had been thinking about had returned.
And... to be more precise, he was thinking about Xiaogang's kidneys.
"It's really you~"
When the three of them walked into Ash's house and took a look.
Gengar was holding Poison Jab in one hand and Xiaogang in the other, refusing to let go, with satisfaction written all over his face.
The latter, with an apron tied around his waist, was struggling desperately.
"Ah, Misty, long time no see, and Ash
Xiaogang struggled while pushing Gengar back:
"Can you help me get Gengar away?!"
"Why are you here?!"
Misty was quite surprised by his appearance.
Obviously, he chose to stay in Valencia Island before...
But when I turned around, I found myself in Pallet Town?!!
Xiaogang smacked his lips, obviously unwilling to answer the question.
Instead, he turned around and looked at Tracey who came in at the end:
"Are you Tracey?"
"Hello, please advise me~"
"Well, as a guest, I should pour you a cup of tea..."
Xiao Gang said politely, but~
"But I really can't get away now!! Gengar! Ash, take your Gengar away quickly!!"
"Eehee~!!!"
Well, the scene was quite chaotic.
Finally, after a lot of commotion, everything was done safely.
"Come, please have a cup of tea first!!"
Xiaogang finally got what he wanted and got rid of Gengar's troubles.
He then brought out tea sets and cups for the group: "Today's afternoon tea is Darjeeling tea, which is highly recommended by Mascot!"
"Originally, you should drink pure tea, but you are children, so you should add sugar cubes...
He was talking about the arrangements in this regard.
Let's actually add sugar cubes to each person:
"Ash has two, Misty has one, right? What about Tracey..."
"Xiao Gang, you didn't seem to answer me why you are here?"
Misty continued to ask the same question while stirring the tea.
"I clearly remember that you were in Valencia Island..."
Ash sat there sipping the sweet tea without saying a word.
He knew that this was a very unfriendly topic for Xiaogang~~~
"As I recall, you chose to stay there?!"
"How is your research life going?"
"When did you start living in Ash's family..."
Misty kept asking questions one after another.
Until she asked the most crucial question:
"Also, how is she doing on Inbo?"
Xiao Gang: "...
Such a question seemed to have accurately found his weak spot and pierced directly into his heart:
"Please, Misty, don't ask any more questions..."
His entire body turned into a dark blue tone, curled up.
Like a bedbug abandoned by the world, he lay on his side on the Ground with his back to Ash and the others.
"..."
I don't think I have any major problems, right?
"Eh hey?"
Gengar popped up from the shadows beneath Ash's feet.
He looked at Xiaogang with some confusion, then looked at his own hands.
It seems that it didn't use Poison Jab on Xiaogang.
Why is he lying on the ground again?
And this looks like it's several times more powerful than the paralysis effect brought by Poison Jab...
"/\..."
"Please, don't ask anymore.
"No, I mean Professor Uchiki..."
"...!!"
As soon as he heard the name, Xiao Gang felt as if he was haunted by ghosts and started shaking all over.
Moreover, his face was struggling, and he seemed to be in great pain.
"I was just saying Professor Uchiki..."
"Uh uh uh~"
"It's just how she is..."
"Please, stop asking!!!"
Tracey's expression suddenly became serious when he saw this:
"Is he feeling unwell? Should I call an ambulance?"
"..."
Misty simply waved her hand and sighed:
"Looks like I was dumped~"
Tracey: "Huh?"
"He's always like this."
Misty is no longer surprised.
...
And Ash didn't even bother to ask.
In the original storyline, after Ash finished his journey at the Orange Alliance, Brock also returned to Pallet Town.
However, he was curled up in the grass and was stepped on by Ash's mother Delia and the suction cup puppet who were passing by.
Then I wondered if I stepped on something.
He stepped on Xiaogang back and forth several times.
Finally, he was found with great difficulty and brought home.
And provided Xiaogang with a sumptuous dinner, which he started to eat voraciously.
Delia also asked Xiaogang questions like why he was here.
As a result, Xiaogang's performance was the same as the current contest conditions.
And every time the name of Professor Uchiki was mentioned, Xiaogang would be inexplicably and feel even more deeply shocked.
Even now, no one knows why Xiaogang was so deeply affected by Professor Uchiki.
"Ah, you guys are back!!"
Just when a few people were observing Xiaogang's changes.
Delia's surprised voice was also heard at the gate.
"Pika~Pika!!"
Pikachu was the first to jump off Ash's shoulder and rush over.
"Long time no see, Pikachu!"
Delia held Pikachu in her arms very affectionately.
Then he raised his head, met his son's eyes, and smiled gently:
"Welcome home too, Ash~"
"Yeah, I'm back, Mom."
A glance between the mother and son said it all.
"Hello, Auntie!"
"Ah! It's Misty, welcome, welcome!!"
"Hello~"
"Are you Tracey? You are welcome to visit our home..."
Ash's mother Delia greeted the two of them warmly.
0
Then, naturally, the topic about Xiaogang was mentioned.
Delia also didn't understand why Xiaogang became like this.
"He's always had that attitude."
"But after he came home to help with housework, he recovered over time."
"..."
I often quarrel with the suction cup puppet over cleaning.
Well, in this family, it is enough to have someone who is in charge of household chores.
"Well, it's rare that you both came back, Ash and Misty, and we have a new friend, Tracey..."
Delia pounded her chest hard, "Tonight, I will show you my cooking skills and make you a delicious meal!!"
"That's great! We haven't had a good meal in this period of time!!"
Misty cheered, "I want to eat omelette rice!!"
"Then I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs..."
While Ash was talking about the dishes that suited his taste, he took out the Orange Alliance championship trophy from his backpack.
"This is my second Alliance trophy, Mom, I remember there seems to be one less dumbbell at home, you can use this to exercise."
Misty:"???"
This is the championship trophy that Alliance won. Is this how it is used?
Shouldn't it be placed on a shelf and stored away?!
"That's great, Ash, you are so thoughtful. Mom really likes your Present!!"
Delia was very happy and took the trophy away.
This also made Misty even more at a loss for words.
Perhaps, it would be more difficult for her to follow her mother's path than she imagined.
"Mom, while it's still early [we plan to go to Professor Oak first."
Under Tracey's long-expected gaze, Ash also took out the GS Ball and explained it in advance.
"We might have to come back later."
"It's okay, it's okay, just go do your thing!"
Delia rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen. "I promise you'll have a delicious meal when you come back!!"
Well, with such a secure guarantee, what else do you need to worry about?
Ash immediately set off for Professor Oak's Laboratory without stopping, taking Misty and Tracey, who could no longer wait, with him.
"Come to think of it, I still miss the Pokémon that I stored at Professor Oak..."
"I wonder if Snorlax and the others are doing well."
Tracey was also holding her own observation records, feeling both excited and nervous.
He also wanted to chat with the person next to him, to reduce his nervousness as much as possible.
I couldn't help but look at Xiao Gang who came with me:
"By the way, Xiaogang, what kind of place is Professor Oak's Laboratory?"
"Please don't ask me..."
Xiaogang was about to transform into a twisted worm again.
:""
Misty
"You got the question wrong!!"
This is not a question about Professor Uchiki!!
"Ah, this~"
Xiao Gang then laughed to cover up his embarrassment, "There are many Pokémon in the big courtyard that I have never seen before."
"There are quite a lot of varieties in there!"
"Is that so~~~ Then I'm really looking forward to it!!"
Tracey was filled with excitement and anxiety. Soon, they all came to the huge courtyard with a windmill that Ash and his friends were familiar with and had been to before.
