Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

It was early morning in Pallet Town. The sun had not yet risen, but outside the house it had been snowing all day and the ground was already covered with a layer of white.

Today is New Year's Day in this world, and it is also the first New Year that Xiaozhi and Serena spend together.

"Shh~ Pikachu, don't wake them up, let's go downstairs first." Picking up Pikachu, Xiaozhi carefully jumped down from the upper bunk.

Then he tiptoed to the door, glanced at Serena who was sleeping soundly with Xiao Pi in her arms, laughed secretly, closed the door and went downstairs.

After washing up, Xiaozhi, who changed into a red coat today, started to get busy.

Paste window flowers, prepare firecrackers, and place various snacks on the coffee table in front of the TV.

After doing all this, I took out the various colorful dumplings that had been prepared long ago from the refrigerator and started preparing breakfast.

To go with the soup base for the glutinous rice balls, Xiaozhi prepared two pots, one was sweet osmanthus and wolfberry wine, and the other was red bean soup.

When the sweet scent filled the living room, the two mothers walked out of the bedroom neatly dressed.

"Mom, Aunt Sachi, Happy New Year." Xiaozhi poked his head out of the kitchen and greeted them with a smile.

"Happy New Year." Hanako's mother smiled happily with her eyes narrowed.

"Oh, Xiaozhi got up so early." Looking at the well-decorated little home, Aunt Sachi couldn't help but marvel at it.

"My Serena won't get up until the sun is high in the sky."

"It's okay. We'll have Xiaozhi in the future. He can get up." Hanako's mother said proudly.

"Let's have Yuanxiao with two kinds of soup bases for breakfast. I'll prepare a big meal for everyone at noon." Xiaozhi rubbed his hands expectantly, indicating that he would take care of all the housework for the day.

"That won't work. Let Serena help you." Aunt Sachi shook her head. "You've spoiled this child. Little Arrowbird, go wake up Serena~"

"Chirp..." Aunt Sachi's little sparrow immediately turned around and flew towards the bedroom.

Xiaozhi suddenly remembered something and quickly shouted, "It's better not to..."

"Pika...Qiu!!" Pikachu's voice echoed throughout the room.

The golden lightning exploded instantly...

Boom... Looking at the black smoke in the bedroom, Xiaozhi put down his hand helplessly: "Well... forget it..."

Xiaopi's morning grumpiness is comparable to Pikachu's...

After a while, Serena, with her hair tied up fashionably and wearing a hairband, came out, looking dusty and dusty, with Pikachu in her left hand and Togepi in her right hand.

"Mom, don't let Little Archer call me like that next time. It's too dangerous..." Serena said with tears in her eyes.

"Hahaha~ Who told you to stay in bed? Xiaozhi has already prepared breakfast." Aunt Sachi smiled nonchalantly and glanced at Xiaozhi secretly.

Xiaozhi wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen: "Mom, the dumplings are ready. You and Auntie can take over. I'll go help Serena with her hair. Hair that has been electrocuted by 100,000 volts is not easy to take care of."

Watching Xiaozhi running up the stairs in two steps without any disgust, he first gave Serena a gentle hug, and then let Pikachu take Chibi and Togepi downstairs.

Xiaozhi pushed Serena's shoulders, comforted her in a soft voice, and prepared to comb Serena's hair. Aunt Saki nodded with satisfaction.

Mother Hanako brought the dumplings to Aunt Sachi and asked with a chuckle, "Is our son good?"

Aunt Sachi smiled widely, "Yes, my girl is more blessed than both of us."

You know, in the Pokémon world, there are many men who give up their homes and careers for their dreams.

The saviors of the previous generation, combined, couldn't even find a pair of parents, they were either orphans or single parents...

In front of the makeup mirror in the bathroom, Serena washed her face and sat obediently in front of Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi gently used wet hair spray to comb Serena's flaxen long hair smooth little by little.

Serena closed her eyes in enjoyment and sighed softly: "Oh~ It's so good to have you here~"

Xiaozhi said in a gentle tone: "We will have plenty of time together in the future. We will celebrate the New Year together, your birthday together, your twentieth, thirtieth, fortieth... and your hundredth birthday together..."

"You have to comb my hair too in the future." Serena murmured sweetly.

"Okay, I'll comb your hair for the rest of my life~"

After getting dressed, Xiaozhi took Serena to wish both mothers a happy new year, and then ate rice dumplings together.

Then he took Pikachu and Serena and prepared to go to the Oak Research Institute to pay New Year's greetings.

In addition to the New Year's gifts, Hanako's mother also asked Xiaozhi to bring the dumplings over in a thermos bucket.

"Dr. Oak's place is full of men, and I guess they don't have any New Year's food. You bring these with you so they can have something warm to eat.

If Professor Oak agrees, let them come to our house for dinner in the evening." Hanako's mother specifically reminded.

"I understand." Xiaozhi nodded obediently and made a list of some of the ingredients needed for dinner and handed it to the suction cup puppet.

Afterwards, Xiaozhi and Serena went to buy the rest.

After setting off firecrackers at the doorstep, people in the town started setting off firecrackers one after another.

Amid the lively sounds of crackling, Xiaozhi led Serena, with Pikachus wearing red cotton jackets on their shoulders, and walked towards the Oak Research Institute together.

Xiaozhi walked up the stone steps that had been cleared of snow to the entrance of the research institute and knocked on the door carelessly.

"Here I come!" Souji opened the door and appeared.

"Happy New Year, brother." Xiaozhi grinned.

"Happy New Year~" Souji smiled in surprise and let Xiaozhi and the others in.

As soon as I walked in, wow, there were quite a lot of people!

Red, Green, Little Blue, Little Silver. Four children, two orphans, one has a father but cannot recognize him...

"Happy New Year!" Xiaozhi shook the thermos in his hand. Fortunately, he brought enough dumplings.

Seeing the glutinous rice balls in Xiaozhi's hand, Chihong and the others became visibly happy.

"That's great~ I thought I could only eat Professor Oak's rice cake soup today." Xiaolan said pitifully.

"So I said, we can go to Ajin's house for a meal, his mother's cooking is delicious~" Xiaoyin muttered.

"That won't do. Of course, the three giants of Pallet Town will spend the New Year at the Oak Research Institute." Xiaolan said with a carefree smile.

Qinglu rolled her eyes: "It was you who asked to come to celebrate the New Year..."

"Hahaha, let's eat." Chihong laughed indifferently and served everyone bowls with dumplings.

"Hey, where's Professor Oak?" Xiaozhi asked curiously.

"That's not it~" Qinglu pointed at the kitchen speechlessly. Professor Oak was scratching his head at a bunch of glutinous rice balls that were stuck together: "This shouldn't be the case. Isn't it just adding glutinous rice ball flour when there's too much water, and adding water when there's too much flour? How could it become a lump..."

"Well, Professor Oak and everyone else, if you don't mind, let's come to my house for New Year's Eve dinner tonight." Xiaozhi made an invitation.

"It's settled!" Chihong grabbed Xiaozhi's hand.

"We will bring gifts." Qinglu nodded.

"Don't worry, I have a lot of goods left, I'll give them all to you~" Xiao Lan waved his hand carelessly.

"Just give a little bit, I'll buy the rest and give it to Ajin." Xiaoyin advised in a low voice.

"Haha, it's okay. It'll be more lively with more people. I'll make some energy blocks for the Pokémon at home first, and then I'll go buy groceries." Xiaozhi smiled and waved his hand, then pulled Serena to the warehouse.

A luxurious energy cube set was prepared for Snorlax and Bulbasaur.

He celebrated with his Pokémon in the courtyard.

Xiaozhi then pulled Serena out of the research institute.

Due to the large number of people, Xiaozhi also brought Kentaro's Ox King to help carry the food.

Serena can also indulge in some bull riding.

After returning home from shopping, Xiaozhi left Serena sitting on a small stool to watch him busy himself. The two mothers were pushed into the living room to drink tea and chat while watching the New Year entertainment programs on TV.

After all, his future mother-in-law was here too, so Xiaozhi used all his skills today.

Soon the dinner table was filled with a variety of Donghuang dishes.

Dongpo pork, crystal pork elbow, sweet and sour spareribs, braised carp king, four-joy meatballs, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, matsutake and hibiscus soup...

Professor Oak and the others who had actually arrived were stunned...

Xiaolan sighed softly: If I eat like this every day, I want to marry Xiaozhi...

Serena: (?⊿?)??!

Xiaoyin: (*???)!!

"I still have to learn how to cook in the future. Xiaozhi can only cook for me." Serena thought with a blush.

"Xiaozhi, please accept me as your disciple!" Xiaoyin shouted wildly in his heart.

Chihong stroked his chin and thought, why don't I formally accept Xiaozhi as my apprentice, so that I can come here every year with a legitimate reason...

Qinglu glanced at Chihong: I advise you not to embarrass yourself. At worst, I can take you to a luxurious dinner in the future...

There was heavy snow outside the house. In Xiaozhi's restaurant, everyone was sitting around the table, having a great time.

The New Year's Gala was playing on TV, and from time to time the sound of firecrackers could be heard from someone's house outside the house.

Xiaozhi wiped his hands and placed the last dish of ketchup-flavored red bean paste rice cake on the table.

Everyone raised their glasses and cheered together: Happy New Year~!

Through the misty glass, Pikachu and Pixar sat on the windowsill holding Togepi, looking at the lights and snowflakes outside the window, shaking their heads with relief.

A new year is a new beginning...

To be continued...
