At the entrance of the Pokémon Center lobby, a middle-aged woman with long brown hair was holding a bunch of salute tubes in her hand, pointing it directly at Ash with a smile.
"boom!"
As she pulled her palm, all the colorful ribbons sprayed onto Xiaozhi's face, causing a little damage.
"Congratulations~Xiaozhi! The competition is really exciting!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiaozhi came back to his senses, brushed the ribbon from his face, and felt a little joyful.
"Mom, why are you here?!"
The woman who attacked Xiaozhi in front of him was his mother, Hanako.
Pikachu also jumped on Hanako's shoulder affectionately and said hello.
"Also, Dr. Omu, are you here too?"
Standing next to Hanako was an old man in a research uniform with half-grey hair. Standing there, the aura of academics and comedians hit his face at the same time.
"Haha~ This time, two people from our Zhenxin Town entered the top 16. Dr. Damu, myself, and several village committee representatives caught a flight overnight~"
Hanako said with a smile.
After some encouragement, she rolled up her sleeves and turned to the kitchen with high spirits, intending to show off her cooking skills and cook a good meal for everyone. She had made a reservation in advance to borrow the kitchen here.
Seeing this scene, Xiaozhi couldn't help but salivate, looking forward to the dinner later.
What’s so delicious about the food cooked by the five-star chef here? The food from home is better!
...
"Hey~ Xiaozhi did a good job. I watched all your games and you have grown into an excellent trainer."
Dr. Oak stepped forward, smiled and patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder.
To be honest, it has been a long time since Zhenxin Town has a trainer who has reached the top 16. This time, Zhenxin Town’s name may be completely spread throughout the Kanto region!
Only then did Xiaozhi notice that there were two people behind Dr. Oak.
On one side, there is a brown-haired girl, wearing a playful white sun hat, long brown hair, and a cute face.
It's just that her bun-shaped face has bulged into a pufferfish, and she's staring at the other person with unkind eyes.
On the other side, there was a hedgehog-headed boy with a frivolous expression, his hands on his hips, looking at her quite proudly.
If Dr. Ohki hadn't been standing in the middle, the two might have started fighting on the spot.
"Hehe, I just went to pick up my grandpa and the others, and I didn't expect to see someone cutting down a tree at the entrance of the venue. Haha, I really laughed to death."
Xiao Mao laughed proudly. This sentence made Xiao Lan immediately embarrassed, and her face and ears were stained with a blush.
Xiao Lan was very embarrassed when she was caught alive by her elders when she secretly cut down a tree.
After provoking Xiao Lan, Xiao Mao decisively turned the target:
"Speaking of Xiaozhi, did I hear that you also entered the top 16? Hey, you seem to be very lucky. You have encountered novices in four games, right?"
Xiaozhi was not irritated, but he also spoke provocatively:
"Don't worry about these things. If you meet me next, I will personally send you out."
Seeing that the three of them were about to start a fight, and it was very likely that Xiaozhi and Xiaolan would join forces to beat their grandson, Dr. Oak quickly stepped in and patted the heads of the three of them one by one with a smile.
"In short, the three of you performed very well in this conference. You have all brought glory to our Zhenxin Town. Xiaozhi and Xiaomao both entered the top 16, and Xiaolan also made history."
Xiao Lan: "?"
Dr. Oki looked at the faces of the three people. Although they were still a little immature, they had experienced a trip to a certain area and were a little more mature. He finally nodded with satisfaction.
Speaking of which, only my own fire-breathing dragon can learn explosive flames...
Well, with the special status of Ivysaur, there should be a chance to master the crazy plant in the second stage...
