Pokémon Legends Ash

Xiaozhi's team was Team 5, the last team to get dinner. When Xiaozhi received the food in a plastic bag from Assistant Matsumoto, he immediately felt the heaviness of the bag.

Carrying the heavy plastic bag, Xiaozhi and everyone else couldn't wait to open it and reveal all the ingredients inside.

Potatoes, potatoes, yams, tomatoes, and a few knives that are probably used to process the ingredients.

The bag felt heavy when lifted, but the contents were disappointing when opened. The other teams who had just received the bags of food were also stunned and stared at each other.

"This guy Matsumoto!"

Xiao Mao was about to find Assistant Matsumoto to argue, but the other party had disappeared long ago. However, judging from the shoes at the door of Professor Oak's tent, the other party had already escaped.

"Damn it, he slipped away so quickly. I have to go talk to Grandpa."

Xiaozhi watched Xiaomao roll up his sleeves, looking like he was ready to do something big. Although he wanted to stop him, he also felt that it would be a good idea to let Xiaomao give it a try, and his heart was swaying with complicated emotions.

"Forget it, it's not like I can't cook, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Instead of saying these things, why not help quickly? Look, Xiao Ai took the initiative to go to the river to fetch water."

Xiao Lan spoke up to stop Xiao Mao's actions. She felt that the other party was making a fuss out of nothing. After all, there were only a few fewer types of ingredients, not nothing to eat.

"Can………"

Xiao Mao's voice, which had just been raised due to anger, suddenly lowered a note. When facing Xiao Lan, he didn't dare to speak loudly on purpose.

"What do you mean? Here, peel these potatoes, and Xiaozhi, remove the stems and leaves of these tomatoes."

Xiao Lan didn't give Xiao Mao a chance to refute. She took out a few potatoes from the bag and handed them to Xiao Mao along with the knife.

Xiao Mao didn't dare to say anything. He just used a little force when peeling the potatoes, peeling off the skin and flesh together.

However, Xiaozhi knew that this was just Xiaomao's way of sulking, and he must have accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart.

Xiaozhi took the tomatoes and pulled out the stems one by one, then handed them to Xiaolan, who then cut the potatoes that Xiaomao had peeled into pieces and put them aside for later use.

As for Pichu, it had been dozing off since it got on the bus. This was probably because it had just been born and its body was under great physical exertion.

"The water is coming."

Xiao Ai brought the bucket back to the camp and placed it directly at Xiao Lan's feet as she was preparing food. However, the vibration when she put it down caused water to splash out, but it was not a problem as the amount was small.

Without Xiaolan's instruction, Xiaozhi threw the tomatoes with the stems and leaves removed into the water to wash them, and then gave them to Xiaolan to cut into pieces.

Tomato stewed with potatoes, this is the dinner that Xiao Lan came up with. After all, the ingredients are limited, and it’s good enough that she can cook it.

All the ingredients are ready, now you can start cooking.

The others did not interrupt Xiao Lan while she was cooking. They just sat aside and chatted with each other.

The pot was placed on the campfire, and the water from the river began to boil in the pot, bubbling.

Xiao Lan poured all the chopped ingredients into the pot, added some seasoning given by Assistant Matsumoto, covered the pot with a lid and waited quietly.

There was nothing else to do after that. Xiaolan sat next to Xiaoai and thought about the Kanto League Pokémon Competition he had watched a few days ago.

"Did you guys watch the Pokémon Contest a few days ago? I remember it was Master Sheba versus Master Kikuko."

"Ah, of course I watched it, but Shiba lost. In terms of attributes and compatibility, he was completely no match for the other party."

As soon as Xiao Mao heard Xiao Lan's words, he reacted instantly, remembering an open match between the Four Heavenly Kings Kikuko and the Four Heavenly Kings Hiba a few days ago.

The game was very exciting. Although Kikuko won, Shiba's unyielding spirit enabled her to bite off three of the opponent's Pokémon even in the face of attribute restraint and experience suppression.

"A competition? Between Master Shiba and Master Kikuko? I saw the results of the competition in the newspaper a few days ago!"

Xiaozhi smiled and obviously wanted to join in the conversation between the two, but he couldn't say anything about the game as he only knew the result.

Oops, I forgot that Xiaozhi doesn’t have a TV at home, and Xiaoai doesn’t seem to understand what we are talking about. Let’s change the topic.

Xiao Lan coughed and was about to change the subject, but Xiao Mao took the lead.

"Ah~ So Xiaozhi didn't watch that game. There's nothing I can do. Then just wait until the summer camp is over and come to my house to watch it. It just so happens that I have the habit of saving game recordings. Hahaha~ Thank me, Master Xiaomao~"

After hearing this, Xiaozhi clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling with excitement and said, "Oh! Really? Thank you so much, Master Xiaomao~"

Seeing this, Xiao Lan shook her head helplessly, sat down close to Xiao Ai, and slowly said, "Boys are like this, Xiao Ai, you don't understand."

"Yeah, but it looks like Xiaozhi is very happy, and Xiaomao is too."

"It's a summer camp after all. Although it's to prepare for future travel, the main thing is to have fun. I love you too~"

Just as they were talking, a burst of fragrance wafted from the pot they were sitting around. The rich aroma of tomatoes floated in the air, as if gently caressing their taste buds.

"Gulu..."

"Xiao Lan, this is already done."

"Well, it should be ready. I'll go get the bowl."

Xiao Lan said as she stood up and went to the cutting table. Everyone's bowls were placed in a bucket next to it.

"Skin……"

When Blue went to get the bowl, Pichu just happened to wake up and crawled out of Ash's pocket and stayed in his arms.

"Is Pichu hungry too? Dinner will be served soon, don't worry~"

"Skin~~"

Pichu responded happily, as if to say that he got it.

Xiaolan came back with the bowl and handed it to Xiaoai first.

"Here, Xiao Ai, this is yours. When you're done eating, remember to wash it and put it somewhere so you don't get it mixed up."

"Got it, got it~"

Xiaozhi responded perfunctorily and started to pick up the scalding pot lid with chopsticks and threw it aside. A fragrant aroma immediately filled his nose.

Quietly waiting in the pot for Xiaozhi and his friends to enjoy is tomato and potato soup.

The tomatoes and potatoes became limp in the pot, and the originally transparent water was dyed red by the tomatoes. Although it was red, it was not a bright red, but a light red that had been diluted to an unknown degree.

Just looking at this pot, Xiaozhi felt hungry. Maybe it was because he hadn't had lunch, or maybe it was because he had worked in the afternoon.

No matter which one it was, Xiaozhi was now starving. He had no resistance to the delicious food in front of him, so he quickly scooped several spoonfuls with the spoon that Xiaolan had just brought.

"Xiaozhi, don't be impatient, be careful of the heat..."

Seeing Xiaozhi looking anxious, Xiaolan kindly reminded him, but the former didn't care about what she said at all and put the potatoes into his mouth with chopsticks.

“Ohh ...

As expected, Xiaozhi was scalded, Xiaolan held his forehead in his hand and was speechless, while Xiaomao laughed so hard that tears came out.

It’s great to know them...

Xiao Ai looked at the three people and this thought emerged in her mind. She had been alone since childhood and for the first time she felt the joy of having friends of the same age.

"Here, give me the bowl."

Xiao Lan looked at Xiao Ai who was in a daze and took the initiative to reach out to help Xiao Ai to serve soup. Xiao Ai heard the voice and just reacted, but the bowl in her hand had been taken away by the other party, and it was filled with soup when it appeared again.

"Thank you."

After thanking Xiao Lan, Xiao Ai took the bowl of hot soup and began to savor it carefully.

"Skin~~"

Of course, the Pichu in Xiaozhi's arms also had a share, but it didn't have its own bowl, so it had to share one with Xiaozhi. Whenever Xiaozhi took a few bites, he would put it in front of Pichu so that it could have a taste, and this was how it would take turns between the person and the pet.

Xiaozhi and his friends had a very satisfying meal. Although there was no staple food or meat, they were still full.

"Ha~ I feel sleepy after eating. The same is true for Pichu."

"Skin……"

Pichu responded weakly, its head bobbing up and down, and would have fallen if Ash hadn't been holding it tightly.

"Then let's go to bed, good night~"

"Good night."

Everyone greeted each other and took turns to go into the big tent that could sleep four people. Because of the difference in gender, the boys' area and the girls' area were separated by a black cloth so that they would not disturb each other.

A night passed and nothing happened. The second day of summer camp arrived quietly.

Xiaozhi and his friends got up early. After washing up, assistant Matsumoto came to distribute breakfast, which was a few slices of bread with jam.

After swallowing their breakfast in a few mouthfuls, Xiaozhi and his friends gathered around the campfire that had turned to ashes, preparing to briefly discuss what they were going to do today. After all, Assistant Matsumoto and Professor Oak had told them to do whatever they wanted, so they had to discuss it themselves.

"Let's go to the river. The others are there too. We'll definitely have fun together."

Xiaolan was the first to express her opinion, pointing her finger at the riverside, where other teams were gathered, playing around in their swimsuits and looking like they were having a lot of fun.

However, Xiao Mao frowned and seemed reluctant to go to the river. He tossed his hair and said confidently, "Let's go to the woods. The adventure will definitely be exciting."

"I don't think so. I might just be walking around aimlessly in there. What about you, Xiaozhi? Do you want to go to the woods too?"

Xiaolan looked at Xiaozhi, wanting to ask for his opinion. As for Xiaoai, it was her first time attending such a summer camp. For her, anything was fine as long as she could be with her friends.

"Ah? Me? Uh..."

When Xiaozhi was suddenly called by his name by Xiaolan, he was caught off guard and hesitated, not knowing how to make a choice.

Seeing Xiaozhi like this, Xiaolan seemed to be used to it and sighed: "Then listen to me, let's go to the river, that's it, Xiaomao, do you have any opinion?"

Xiao Lan made the decision for the others. After all, it was really annoying to see people hesitating here without an accurate goal.

"No, that's it, let's go to the river."

Xiao Mao shook his head. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not say it out loud because he had various concerns.

"Then everyone change into your swimsuits and set off immediately!"

A few minutes later, Xiaozhi and his friends had changed into their swimsuits and arrived at the riverside. The green grass beneath them was half the height of their legs, and from time to time they could see Rattata passing through the grass.

"Skin~"

On the river bank, Xiaozhi took Pikachu to play in the water, planning to play with Pichu for a while before going into the water.

As for the others, Xiaolan and Xiaoai mixed with the girls from other teams and played with water together. It was a simple way of playing but they had a lot of fun.

What is Xiaomao doing?

Xiaozhi looked around and found Xiaomao standing alone in the sand in the corner. Curious, he stood up and wanted to see what he was doing.

He picked up Pichu who was having a great time playing in the water, held it tightly in his hands and walked towards Xiaomao.

Xiaozhi walked closer and saw that Xiaomao was quietly building a castle with sand. It had already taken shape and would surely be very beautiful and spectacular when completed.

As if sensing someone behind him, Xiao Mao subconsciously turned around, revealing only half of his face, his facial features were tense and he looked quite serious.

After seeing that the person coming was Xiaozhi, Xiaomao instantly relaxed, turned his whole face away, his eyebrows spread out, raised his head slightly and said proudly:

"It's Xiaozhi, what do you want from me, young master?"

"Why are you piled up in the sand by yourself? Aren't you going to play with others?"

"Pichu Pichu?"

In response to Xiaozhi and Pichu's questions, Xiaomao's eyes flashed with a trace of panic, but he still maintained his arrogant expression.

"I am the eldest master of Xiaomao, how can I play with them?"

"Is that so? Well then, Pichu and I will go find Blue and the others."

Xiaozhi turned around and prepared to leave with Pikachu in his arms. Xiaomao stretched out his hand and opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he did not call Xiaozhi and put his hand down.

But at this moment, Xiaozhi seemed to sense something and turned around to look at Xiaomao who was still there.

"Aren't you coming together?"

"I……"

"Come on, it's more fun to play together."

Xiao Mao was pulled up by Xiao Zhi and dragged to the river.

As Xiaomao approached, other girls came over and showed off their graceful figures in front of Xiaomao.

"Um...should we go help him?"

"Skin~"

Xiaozhi floated on the water with Pichu lying on his head. Looking at Xiaomao who was surrounded by people, Xiaozhi felt that it was his responsibility and wanted to help him. But his strength alone was too weak and the other party was also a girl, so he asked Xiaolan and Xiaoai for their opinions.

"No, no, that guy must be enjoying it. Don't worry about him. Let's go play somewhere else."

As Xiaolan said this, he put his hands on Xiaozhi and Xiaoai's shoulders and pulled them to the side.

Xiao Mao was surrounded by the girls, but he did not forget Xiao Zhi and the others. He struggled hard to stick his head out and look for them.

But when he looked in the direction of Xiaozhi and the others, he could only see a few figures walking away, leaving the girls crowded together with the splashing river water hitting their faces.

His head, which he had struggled hard to get out, was gradually pulled back by the girls, and his final gaze was fixed on the backs of Lan, Xiaozhi, and Xiaoai, who were talking and laughing.

For a while, Blue and Mao couldn't agree on anything, and often quarreled before they could even discuss a few words. But with Ash and Ai around, they eventually returned to the way they were at the beginning.

Time passed quickly. On the third day, Xiaomao and Xiaolan no longer liked each other. They would quarrel over the slightest thing, and they would spend their time quarreling and laughing.

Time has come to the fourth day...

[The fourth day of summer camp has arrived. Why is the relationship between Xiaolan and Xiaomao so complicated? What will happen to the two of them in the end? Let us look forward to the next chapter, to be continued…]
