"What a quiet night."
Lying on the bed and gazing at the night sky, Suzy couldn't help but feel emotional. Ash also said, "Indeed, such a peaceful night is truly wonderful. My Nidoking and Crobat really enjoy moments like this when the moonlight is abundant."
"Um, the moonlight is beautiful and all, but is it really okay for the three of us to sleep together?!"
Misty, who was lying on Ash's arm, described their current situation—the three of them were lying together, with Misty and Suzy both resting their heads on Ash's arm.
"It's fine. No one expected so many people to come today, and this remote wilderness... There wasn't even a place to rest in the mountains. Out of humanitarianism, I spent my own money to let them rest first."
Looking at Ash's righteous speech, Misty said helplessly: 'I think you just want to take advantage of me and Suzy.'
"You're so smart. Well then, goodnight my little beauty, Magikarp, and chubby girl."
"Didn't we agree not to mention being fat?"
"They all look the same to me. Hurry up and sleep, we're heading to the Fuchsia Gym tomorrow. I need to be prepared—Koga will probably try to push Ayame on me again."
Hearing this, Suzy's hand lightly brushed against Ash's waist.
"What's the deal with the girl again?"
"You'll find out tomorrow. For now, go to sleep. Goodnight..."
Feeling Ash gently tighten his embrace around Misty and Suzy, they smiled before drifting off to sleep together in his arms.
The next morning, Ash and his friends cheerfully prepared to set off.
"Alright, Ash. I'm heading out first. Don't be too slow."
"You're the one to talk, Gary. Don't be in such a hurry that you forget to enjoy the scenery around you... It's better to spend time with the people by your side."
"Got it. By the way, what's up with this pervert?" Gary was surprised to see Brock not harassing his girlfriends as usual, while Ash laughed and said, "The guys from the gym took him to experience love commands yesterday—5% success rate."
"Oh~ That's impressive. Good job."
"Isn't that obvious?"
---
"The Fuchsia Gym is just ahead, boss—that is to say:"
"Pika pika! (That guy's coming to peddle his stuff again>"
"Ah, I know Meowth. Pikachu and Chansey, be on high alert from now on. If you spot anything resembling that Koga guy, attack immediately."
"Pika pika! (Absolutely electrifying him to the point of being unable to take care of himself.)"
"I'll greet him with a Shadow Ball."
Seeing Ash so on edge like this, Misty and Suzy grew even more curious about what kind of person Koga was to make Ash so wary. Meanwhile, Brock, who had been somewhat downcast, seemed to recall something.
"Wait... Koga? Isn't that the Poison-type Elite Four member from the Johto League?"
"Oh, as expected of Brock. It really is that Koga. In short, that guy is really annoying. We must be careful. Let's go first."
"Annoying?"
A bit puzzled by Ash's meaning, Brock shook his head and followed along.
And when they arrived at the Fuchsia Gym, Ash looked at Meowth.
"Meowth, get ready."
"Roger that."
Just then, a Voltorb rolled over. Seeing it, Ash immediately picked it up and threw it out.
"Go, Voltorb! Use Self-Destruct!"
Boom!
With a loud explosion, a girl fell from above, and Ash quickly grabbed her, asking, "Janine, where's your dad?"
"No idea. Ever since he heard you were coming, he took my aunt and said they were going to..."
"Uh, I knew it. Whatever. I'm here to challenge the gym."
"I know, I know... Geez, you're so alert. When will I ever become a proper ninja?"
"Keep practicing."
After speaking, Ash lifted Janine and introduced, "This is Janine, the daughter of the Fuchsia Gym Leader. With her as our hostage, things will be much easier for us."
"H-hostage?!" *2
Watching Ash carry Janine inside just like that, Misty and Suzy could only sigh and follow along, while Brock was still pondering what Ash had meant earlier by 'annoying.'
