Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 212 An unexpected encounter with Mikoli?

After participating in the Love Festival, which was exclusively for Dustbutterfly, Ash and his friends continued their journey towards Lake Tadasu.

The next day, at noon.

"Electroc, Brick Break!"

"?! Get out of the way!"

"boom--"

In a clearing in the forest, Ash and his friends stood among the bushes, observing the battle ahead.

As Electabuzz's attack landed, the already wounded Raichu on the other side was unable to dodge and was slammed into the ground by Electabuzz's powerful force.

The two sides facing off are, on one side, a random trainer whom Ash and his friends don't recognize, and on the other side—

"Although he didn't beat Ash, Shinji's strength is indeed beyond doubt."

Looking at that figure who showed no joy even after winning, Xiao Gang couldn't help but say this.

"Ok?"

Seemingly sensing the gaze from the side, Shinji turned around. After noticing Ash and the others, he clicked his tongue in disdain. Although he didn't want to get close to them, Ash and the others were in a place that Shinji had to pass through. Helpless, Shinji had no choice but to walk towards them with Electabuzz, completely ignoring the passerby trainer behind him who looked somewhat devastated.

"If you have nothing to say, move aside. I have urgent business to attend to."

Shinji walked up to the group and, seeing that they didn't intend to move aside, said this coldly.

He hasn't been in a good mood these past two days, especially after his battle with Ah Li a couple of days ago.

He won the match, which was a natural outcome, but the process was far too simple and easy. Lee was distracted throughout the entire match, and Shinji wouldn't even call it a gym challenge.

“EL......”

However, when Shinji realized that his Electabuzz was intentionally avoiding Pikachu's gaze, his mood worsened.

It seems that Electabuzz must have seen something the day before it returned, which is why it turned out this way.

Shinji, annoyed, took out a Poké Ball to recall Electabuzz, and silently decided to give Electabuzz special training in the future, in order to prevent his current concessions from affecting future battles.

"Ah... I see, sorry. But what urgent matter are you talking about?"

Ash stepped aside to make way for Shinji, who, upon hearing this, simply turned and left without looking back, leaving behind these words:

"Someone said they saw Hoenn Champion Mikoli in this area."

.......

"Mikoli?"

"Huh?! Mr. Michael?!"

After realizing Shinji's meaning, Brock and Hikaru's emotions clearly changed.

Xiao Guang, in particular, seems the most excited right now.

The title of champion of the Hoenn region and the number one in the Grand Contests, from any perspective, demonstrates that Wallace is an absolute genius.

Mikoli's popularity among women in various regions is roughly equivalent to Cynthia's popularity among men.

"Hmm, but Shinji's story is just hearsay, isn't it? And it seems like Shinji has been looking for Mr. Michael for a while now, so it probably won't be that easy to run into him."

After regaining his composure, Xiao Gang made this rational judgment, but this did not affect Xiao Guang's high spirits at all.

"No problem, no problem! With Ash here, we'll definitely find it! Isn't Ash the best at encountering all sorts of special people and strange things!"

"Why am I being dragged into this...?"

Although Ash complained like that, he also had a feeling that they should be able to encounter Wallace. However, Ash's feeling was more based on past experience than on his own physical abilities.

Yes, it is like that.

So Ash and the others continued toward their destination, each with their own thoughts. Instead of taking the shortest route on the map, they deliberately wandered around to different corners, trying to find him in some unexpected places.

only--

"Still not working!"

night.

Tranquility enveloped the forest

Ash and his friends never met Wallace, and Dawn sighed regretfully as they sat in front of the campfire, having never met him before.

"Since we can't find him, there's nothing we can do. Maybe Mr. Michael is already at Lake Risshiden? After all, Shinji didn't say when he heard the news, did he? Let's see if we can run into Mr. Michael when we get to Lake Risshiden tomorrow."

Ash understood Dawn's feelings at that moment, but since it was already described as an attempt at a chance encounter, the combination of these two uncertainties meant that a regrettable ending was inevitable.

"But if we go to Lake Lizhi tomorrow, we probably won't be able to see Mr. Michael."

Sitting on the stool, Xiao Guang leaned back, shielding his eyes with the back of his hand, and sighed:

"Sigh, I was thinking that if I could meet Mr. Mikkelsen, I could let him see my performance. If I could get Mr. Mikkelsen's approval, then the subsequent conference should be fine."

"Hmm...that makes sense."

Xiao Gang responded, but his mind wasn't entirely focused on his conversation with Xiao Guang. After all, right now, more important than talking to and comforting Xiao Guang was—

"Alright! Dinner is ready!"

Xiao Gang took the pot off the campfire, picked up a bowl, tasted it lightly, and nodded in satisfaction, saying this.

"Let's finish dinner first, no matter what. Maybe we'll run into Mr. Mikkelsen somewhere when we set off tomorrow!"

Seeing that dinner was ready, Xiao Zhi picked up his bowl and chopsticks with great interest and prepared to start eating.

Seeing Ash's eagerness, Hikari suppressed his regret and was about to nod in agreement when a light, airy voice suddenly came from behind them—

"Is there something you need from me?"

“?!” xN

Turning around with a surprised look, they saw a handsome man with a slightly strange appearance looking at them with gentle eyes. Although they could vaguely sense that the other party was extraordinary, the sense of distance in terms of strength and status was replaced by his elegant temperament in a very short time.

However, these more detailed things were not Xiao Guang's focus. With a look of surprise, she stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face reflected in the campfire and asked in confusion who it was:

"Mr. Mi-Mikeli?!"
