Chapter 358 Afterwards, a Pleasant Lunch Time
Hunter J's entire appearance in Cutting Edge City and his eventual departure took only about an hour.
No one expected Hunter J to fall so easily. Even the Sinnoh League and Cynthia, who had prepared countermeasures beforehand, did not expect that Hunter J, who had been wreaking havoc in the Sinnoh region for so long, would be arrested by them with his whole body charred by electricity.
However, compared to Team Galactic, Hunter J's departure did not cause much of a stir. After all, everyone knows that the biggest threat to the Sinnoh League right now is not Hunter J, but Team Galactic.
However, Hunter J's downfall still brought benefits to many people.
For example, the trainers whose Pokémon were captured by Hunter J all reunited with their captured Pokémon within a month.
A large number of buyers were also caught, including many well-known local entrepreneurs and even members of the alliance.
After completing the Sinnoh League, or rather, Cynthia's personal request, Shiro quickly returned to the Hoenn region.
However, the situation doesn't seem so good for another major contributor to this operation.
.......
"So, what exactly happened?! I just took a nap! Why was Hunter J defeated by you?"
At the Pokémon Center in Chefton City, Dawn looked at Ash with suspicion, wanting to get an answer from him.
Although his face showed no anger, Ash, who had experienced countless battles and storms, trembled slightly.
The current Xiao Guang gives him a somewhat frightening feeling.
(Pikachu!)
Ash used Aura to call Pikachu, who was having lunch with Piplup, hoping Pikachu would come and help distract Dawn.
However, Pikachu ignored Ash's pleas for help, not even turning its head, acting as if it didn't know Ash at all.
Pikachu!
"I have no choice..."
Ash gave a slightly embarrassed smile, scratched his cheek with his index finger, and said, "I was just taking a walk outside this morning, but then I suddenly saw the Battle Pyramid, and then I met Mr. Kamishiro and we had a little sparring session. Mr. Kamishiro told me about it, so I—"
"A spur-of-the-moment decision?"
"That's probably... how it is..."
Ash didn't know what to say, so he agreed with Dawn's suggestion.
Seemingly sensing Ash's difficult situation, Brock also began to help.
"Because Mr. Kamishiro also represents a member of the League, and since it was Mr. Kamishiro who spoke up, he basically wants Ash to participate as well. Otherwise, from the League's perspective, outsiders shouldn't know any details about the operation."
Xiao Gang's status as the former owner of the museum lends his words considerable credibility.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Guang was still somewhat unwilling, but she ultimately sighed and said, "Never mind."
After all, Ash wasn't injured in this operation, and he didn't seem to have encountered any danger. The only regret is that I wasn't by Ash's side when Ash faced a powerful enemy.
"But what's the deal with the Pyramid and Mr. Kamishiro?"
After the brief "interrogation," the group calmly resumed their lunch.
In fact, Dawn didn't know the specifics of Hunter J's arrest. She only knew from Ash that Hunter J had been arrested by him and a trainer named Shiro.
"Hmm...that has to start from the time in the Hoenn region..."
Anyway, there's still plenty of time for lunch, and Ash isn't in a rush right now, so he can talk to Dawn at his own pace.
From being chosen by Ashida to dominating the entire battle zone.
Ash didn't hide anything about the entire process, or even the stories of his encounters with different leaders along the way.
Ash still vividly remembers his experience in the Battle Frontier, not missing a single detail.
Xiao Zhi was just talking casually, and Xiao Gang was just listening casually.
But as they talked and listened, until Xiao Zhi finished speaking.
Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang just noticed something noteworthy about each other.
Lila.
Small thistle.
Although Ash's descriptions of the two seemed normal, Dawn sensed something was amiss.
She looked at Xiaozhi, then at Xiaogang.
It's unbelievable that in just one Battle Frontier, two women have feelings for Ash and Brock respectively.
If it were the previous Xiaoguang, even if he witnessed the whole process, he probably wouldn't have been able to process topics like liking or being in love.
However, after Ulala appeared, Xiaoguang became exceptionally perceptive about things she had never paid attention to before.
It's as if a woman's sixth sense has finally awakened.
Dawn arrived at the correct conclusion simply by listening to Ash's wooden description.
"Lila and Thistle, could you tell me more about them?"
Xiao Guang spoke calmly.
Xiao Gang, standing to the side, suddenly stiffened.
How could you even tell?!
Xiao Gang was also amazed by Xiao Guang's keen insight.
Xiao Gang originally thought that only mature men like himself could have such a strong sensitivity to the feeling of being in love.
But now it seems that Xiaoguang's intuition wasn't bad either.
However, it still falls short compared to him.
After all, only Lyra has feelings for Ash, while Azami is not among them!
Xiao Gang regained his confidence, but he didn't realize that Xiao Guang's question about Xiao Ji wasn't to test Xiao Zhi, but to test Xiao Gang.
"No, there's nothing much to say, since I've only met them once."
Ash didn't know why Dawn was curious about Lyra and Ayase. If she was really curious, she should be curious about Mr. Kamishiro or the Battle Frontier.
Ah, of course.
And then there's the mysterious Mr. Ashida.
During his conversation with Dawn, Ash reminisced about his experiences in the Battle Frontier and even felt a pang of nostalgia for it.
I'll find some time to go and take a look later.
This is what Xiao Zhi was thinking.
After getting the answer he wanted from Ash, Dawn seemed to feel much better.
The dining table was once again filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
until--
"So when is the gym battle at the Chess Peak Gym? This afternoon? Ash, you should have already made a reservation yesterday, right?"
Ash: "......"
Immediately, Ash and Brock lowered their heads again.
.......
P.S.: I'm asking for a gift every day~ QAQ~!
