Pokémon Legends Ash

Xiba pushed aside the bushes, and the sound of running water reached Xiaozhi's ears. What appeared in front of Xiaozhi and Pikachu was a rock wall with a small waterfall.

At the junction of the rock wall and the ground, there is a cave one person high. Since it is daytime now, the cave faces the sun.

You can clearly see an extinguished bonfire and a mattress made of hay inside. It seems that this is where Shiba lives during his practice.

Xiaozhi and Pichu looked at everything around them curiously, as all of this was unfamiliar to Xiaozhi.

"Come, sit here."

Xiba led Xiaozhi into the cave and patted the ground covered with hay.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Ash! I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and this is my partner Pikachu!"

Xiaozhi introduced it very quickly, and even lifted up Pikachu to introduce it. He looked very energetic.

Looking at Xiaozhi who was so energetic, Xiba nodded in approval and continued to chat with Xiaozhi.

"You haven't started traveling yet, have you? How old are you now?"

"Nine years old! I'm already nine years old! After this year I can go traveling!"

Is it just one year? But it’s okay, one year is enough.

"Then are you willing to be my apprentice? I have been observing you since a while ago. The road to here is not easy, but you can easily bring Pikachu and read a book at the same time. You are a good seedling!"

Shiba told him the serious reason why he invited Xiaozhi to come. As the king, he was responsible for cultivating the flowers of the alliance, and now accepting Xiaozhi as his disciple was also fulfilling his duty.

When Xiaozhi heard what Xiba said, he opened his mouth as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Who is this person in front of me? It's Shiba! Shiba, one of the four great kings of the Kanto region!

He actually invited me to be his disciple. How could Xiaozhi not be excited? After all, he hadn't started his journey yet. It would be a rare opportunity if he could receive education from the Four Heavenly Kings.

Seeing Xiaozhi like this, Xiba already felt that he had a sure win. After all, who was he? The Four Heavenly Kings! The top fighters in a region, in the past, others would rush to be his disciples, but this time, he was the one to invite others.

How could it not succeed? How could it not succeed?

After being surprised for a while, Xiaozhi had made up his mind. He took a deep breath and said quietly, "Sorry, King Xiba, I can't be your disciple!"

How is this possible? How... Hey?

Shiba looked at Xiaozhi in disbelief, blinked his eyes, and looked dazed as if he couldn't believe what he said.

"What's the reason? You must have a reason for refusing."

"My...my dream is to become a Pokémon Master! I want to rely on my own strength! And reach that pinnacle with Pikachu!"

"Pickup!!"

Pikachu raised his short little hand and agreed.

"Is that so? Hahaha! You are worthy of being the flower of the alliance! Very good, very good. I like you more and more."

"Since your goal is to become a Pokémon Master, then it's impossible for you to be a disciple of the Four Heavenly Kings. But you won't refuse to practice with me, right~"

Xiba smiled, and continued with a self-deprecating tone: "Although I am not a champion, nor a Pokémon Master, I still gain a lot from practicing with one of the Four Heavenly Kings~"

"In that case, I'll leave it to you! Teacher Shiba!"

Xiaozhi did not agree to be Shiba's disciple, but the fact that he was willing to practice with the person who he had rejected showed that he had a broad mind.

Then he should also show corresponding courtesy. Although he has not become the other party's disciple, Xiaozhi is still willing to call Hiba "teacher".

This is just like his relationship with Professor Oak. As a junior, Xiaozhi still respects Professor Oak very much. Sometimes he also calls Professor Oak "teacher". Now it is not wrong to call King Sheba "teacher".

"Hahaha~ Very good, very good. Since you want to practice with me, you can't go back to town right away. Do you want to go back and say hello?"

"Well, in that case, I still have to talk to my mother. After all, I need her consent."

Xiaozhi looked behind him. That was the road they came from. At this moment, the sun outside was gradually moving below the horizon, and the dim light shone on the ground outside the cave.

"How about this, I'll go with you, this way your mother won't be too worried about you going into the mountains alone."

"Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Hiba!"

"Haha! That's no big deal~"

Shiba puffed out his chest proudly, as if this was a very simple thing for him. He could even imagine the surprise on Xiaozhi's mother's face when she saw him.

…………

Sheba followed Xiaozhi down the mountain, left Miacha Mountain, and returned to Pallet Town.

There are very few residents on the streets, and passers-by will greet Xiaozhi when they see him.

But today, after seeing a strange man in strange clothes and naked upper body behind Xiaozhi, he didn't dare to say a word and stayed away from the two of them.

The townspeople even considered whether to tell Professor Oak, but when they realized that this weirdo was brought by the good boy Xiaozhi, they didn't care too much.

After all, Xiaozhi has a good impression among the townspeople, so the impression of Sheba will also become a little better.

However, Shiba didn't know what impression the townspeople had of him. After seeing their attitude towards him, he didn't have any doubts at all.

Hahaha! It seems like they are all frightened by my domineering attitude. I am indeed the one!

Well... I really don't have any doubts at all, and I'm even feeling complacent.

After following Xiaozhi to a detached house with a red roof and white walls, Xiaozhi knocked on the door, and the sound of footsteps instantly sounded from behind the door.

"Xiaozhi! You kid, the food is almost cold, why did you come back just now?"

Hanako hugged Xiaozhi tightly, strangling his neck so much that he could hardly breathe.

"Mom, don't worry, look who I brought with me?"

Patting Hanako's arm, Xiaozhi pulled his neck out and made half a body move away, and Hiba behind him appeared in front of Hanako.

Hahaha~ How about seeing me!

"Um... we don't buy insurance, and we don't need milk or newspapers. I'm sorry."

"Hahaha, it's okay, I'll go ask at the next store~"

Having said that, Xiba was about to leave Xiaozhi's door, as if he was really a salesperson.

Wait, no, why should I leave!

As soon as he took a step, Xiba reacted instantly, turned around and saw Hanako "whispering" with Xiaozhi.

Although it was just a whisper, Hanako's voice was quite loud, and even Hiba, who was some distance away, could hear it.

Especially when Hanako said the words "freak" and "pervert", he heard it most clearly.

"Mom, you misunderstood. This is King Shiba, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto. He's a very powerful man!"

"Really? You didn't lie to mom? I didn't expect this shirtless weirdo to be so powerful. I thought he was a pervert..."

After listening to Xiaozhi's explanation, Hanako successfully reacted, and quickly made way for Xiba and said cheerfully: "Don't mind, King Xiba, please come in~"

"Hahaha, it's okay."

When Xiba entered Xiaozhi's house, the delicious smell from the dining table came from the dining table to the aisle. After smelling the fragrance, Xiba couldn't help swallowing.

This scene did not escape Hanako's eyes. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, as if she already knew how to deal with this king.

"By the way, King Sheba, I just cooked some food, you should come and have some."

"Is it really possible?"

"Of course! Just come and eat. I made a little too much today and I was just thinking about how to deal with it."

After listening to Hanako's explanation, Shiba was very shaken and hesitated for a while. After coming to the dining table and seeing the dazzling and tempting dishes on the table, he no longer wanted to control his mouth.

"Just start, King Sheba."

"Xiaozhi and Pikachu, hurry up and eat~"

"it is good!"

Xiaozhi put down the empty lunch box he had eaten during his lunch break with Sheba in the kitchen, and came to the dining table with Pikachu, pulling out the seat he usually sat in.

After the three of them sat down, Hanako brought the bowls and chopsticks, and Xiaozhi and the others raised their bowls and started enjoying the food without stopping.

Xiba put the delicious food into his mouth, and even forgot the main purpose of coming here...

[Arriving at Shiba's training ground, Xiaozhi received an invitation to become Shiba's disciple, but he refused. But Shiba was not angry, instead he wanted to take him to train together. In order to stay outside for a long time, Shiba decided to go home with Xiaozhi to persuade Hanako... Please look forward to the next chapter... To be continued...]
