Elf: The Crimson Path of Legend

Page 88

It was at this time.

"Hey hey hey, isn't this Ash? What's wrong? He looks all pooped up after just a few days!"

Just then, a mocking remark was heard, and a figure darted out from the crowd not far away.

The newcomer was a young man wearing floral shorts and a brown spiky hairstyle, surrounded by a group of young women, each with their own unique style.

And his identity...

"It's you? You arrogant Mao!"

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Zhi recognized it immediately. A fire ignited in his heart, and without even confirming the other party's identity, he rushed over and confronted them.

The identity of the other party was also sought to be revealed.

Professor Oak's grandson!

Ash's first rival in the Pokémon anime TV series!

Little Mao, affectionately known as "Master Mao"...

"Oh my, Ash, I didn't expect that after traveling for a while, you'd become so lame? You're actually working at this store that's about to go out of business."

Shigeru waved his hand, looked around at the Ocean House store, and continued to mock Ash.

"What did you say? You arrogant brat!!!"

Ash rushed up to Gary and, upon hearing his words, immediately became extremely annoyed and challenged him:

"What? You think you're so great, you arrogant brat? How about a fight with me?"

"Pfft~ Haha, what what? Do you know what you're saying? That's hilarious, hahaha~"

Upon hearing Ash's exasperated words, Gary immediately burst out laughing, then clutched his stomach and laughed heartily.

After a while, under Xiao Zhi's increasingly angry gaze, he finally stopped.

Then, with his nostrils flared, he stuck out a thumb, pointed at himself with extreme arrogance, and replied with extreme self-importance:

"Battle with you? You, Ash? A low-level trainer like you isn't even qualified to be my opponent!"

"Who do you think I am? I am Young Master Mao! Do you think I'm on the same level as you? Fighting you would be beneath my dignity!"

"Only Brother Chi (and Brother Qinglv) are qualified to be my opponents!"

"Even they are no match for me!"

His words were brimming with arrogance, an air of extreme self-confidence far surpassing that of Xiao Zhi before.

At this moment, Xiao Mao was acting like he was the most important person in the world!

...

...

Just as Shigeru and Satoshi were facing off.

Xiao Mao's extremely arrogant words had just fallen.

"Looks like you're very confident, Xiao Mao!"

Just then, a familiar laugh suddenly rang out, and then Professor Oak and Ash's mother, Aunt Hanako, walked out from the group.

"Long time no see, Ash!"

Aunt Hanako came up to Ash, gently brushed the dust off his cheeks, and said with a charming smile.

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

Feeling the gentleness emanating from Aunt Hanako, Ash was quite puzzled and asked Aunt Hanako and Professor Oak.

"Aunt Hanako, Grandpa!"

Although Shigeru was quite arrogant, he still respected Aunt Hanako and Professor Oak, and greeted them politely.

Then, looking at Xiaozhi with disdain, he said matter-of-factly, "Of course we're here for vacation. Do you think everyone comes here to work like you?"

"What did you say? You arrogant brat!"

These words brought Ash back to his senses, which had been slightly awakened by the presence of Aunt Hanako and Professor Oak.

He got carried away again and rushed up to Xiao Mao, looking him straight in the eye, and said, "I'm helping Grandpa Liu fulfill his dream, it's not like I'm just doing some work!"

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Then why is it that even with your help, this shop doesn't have a single customer?"

"That's...that's..."

Ultimately, Ash couldn't win an argument against Gary and was directly defeated by him.

"Their relationship is really good."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Pika~chu!"

"..."

Brock, Misty, Pikachu, Aunt Hanako, and Professor Oak looked at Ash and Gary, who were almost touching, and nodded gently.

I praised the relationship between the two of them.

"Hey, Little Red, over here!"

Then, Professor Oak waved his hand and shouted, stopping the two from their petting argument and turning their gazes in the direction of the sound.

"..."

Crimson, with Pikachu on its shoulder, slowly walked over from the golden beach and came to stand before the group.

"Brother Chi, you haven't left here yet?"

"Brother Chi, when did you arrive?"

Upon seeing Red arrive, Ash and Gary immediately separated and went to Red's side, asking him questions.

"Yes, I arrived when you came!"

Red nodded slightly in response to the two, making Gary a little embarrassed. He then turned his gaze to Professor Oak and Aunt Hanako.

"Long time no see, Professor Oak and Aunt Hanako!"

"It's been a long time, Akane. I can tell you're doing well!" Aunt Hanako came up to Akane and straightened his slightly disheveled collar, speaking to him as if he were her own child.

Perhaps, in Aunt Hanako's heart, she already considers Akane to be her child.

"..."

A warm feeling welled up in Chi Hong's heart. She nodded gently to Aunt Hanako, a slight smile playing on her lips, in response.

"Long time no see, Akane! Nanami will be returning to school soon, remember to keep in touch with her!"

Professor Oak stroked his white beard, glanced at Pikachu on its red shoulder, and, while secretly surprised, spoke up.

The dojo hierarchy is even approaching the senior level...

As expected of you, Akane!

"Nanami? I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Crimson paused slightly, the image of the brown-haired beauty flashing through his mind. He then nodded knowingly and responded.

Nanami, Professor Oak's granddaughter, Blue and Shigeru's older sister, and also Red's childhood friend.

106. Gary's Battle Invitation: A True Trainer! (Please Subscribe!)

Lampurchi City!

evening!

The setting sun hangs over the other side of the sea, illuminating the twilight glow that spills onto this golden beach.

Tourists came and went, walking along the beach one after another, and left.

at this time.

Lampurchi Grand Hotel!

Ash and his friends held a Pokémon beauty pageant on the beach in Lampshire City.

The story begins with Misty, followed by the appearance of Team Rocket, then Gary's army of beautiful girls, the mischief caused by Team Rocket, Ash defeating Team Rocket, and finally, the victory of Aunt Hanako.

Finally, led by Professor Oak, the group arrived at Lampshire City, at a five-star hotel.

By this time, everyone had finished dinner and was lounging on the sofa, chatting idly.

"Come on, Red, you've been waiting a long time, haven't you? Here, take these two things!" At this moment, Professor Oak returned, carrying a small box and a gray-blue heavy ball, and handed them to Red.

"...?"

Crimson took the two items, examined them, and was somewhat puzzled. He had asked for the Heavy Ball, but this box... he shouldn't have asked for anything else, right?

"Um, a friend gave this to me. It's not very useful to me, so I thought I'd give it to you. You never know, it might be of some use to you."

Professor Oak gave a vague explanation to the red-faced, questioning gaze, then silently turned his head away.

His gaze fell upon Ash and Gary, who were bickering to the side, and suddenly, as if remembering something, he changed the subject:

"By the way, Shigeru, I remember you said before that you felt confident you could defeat Akira. How about it? Want to challenge him here?"

Professor Oak's words instantly enlightened Ash, who found a way to retort and immediately curled his lip in a defiant manner:

"Yeah, yeah, didn't someone say today that even Brother Chi wasn't his match? Why don't they dare challenge Brother Chi now?"

"What a pity, we won't get to see someone get brutally beaten up by Brother Chi..."

As Xiao Zhi spoke, he sighed with regret, his expression showing great pity.

"Holy crap!!

These words reached Xiao Mao's ears, and veins immediately bulged on his forehead. He wanted to teach this arrogant and ignorant Xiao Zhi a lesson right away.
