Staying in the captain's cabin was simply too boring.
He might as well go for a walk in the hall first.
"Leave it to me." Archer was momentarily stunned but didn't mind.
"Let's go, Marnie, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
...
"Uh huh~"
"Ugh~ I'm finally full."
Ash lay on the sofa with a satisfied expression, stroking his round belly and sighing, "You really are something. You started eating the moment you got on the ship."
Two veins popped out on Misty's forehead, but she still suppressed her restless heart and rolled her eyes.
"Huh? What's over there?"
But Ash completely ignored Misty's words, his eyes lighting up as he looked at the crowd gathered not far away.
"Ah? That's a Trainer battle, right? After all, the theme of the S.S. Anne this time is the Trainer Festival, and I heard that the person who wins the final championship gets a mysterious grand prize."
Brock recalled the S.S. Anne's promotional slogan and explained.
"But for this kind of Trainer Festival, those who participate are basically elite, Ash, you definitely can't do it, huh? Ash?"
Misty closed her eyes and teased, but halfway through her sentence, she realized Ash had no reaction, and opened her eyes to look.
Good gracious, Ash was nowhere to be seen beside her.
Are you really capable of Teleport?
"What an idiot!" Misty helplessly rubbed her forehead.
She didn't even have to think to know Ash must have wanted to battle.
On the other side, Ash rushed to the battle arena, but found that there were really too many people. "Excuse me, please move aside, excuse me."
Ash anxiously squeezed his way in, apologizing while pushing hard, and using the advantage of his small build, he finally squeezed to the front.
And at this moment, battling in the arena were a Venusaur and a Nidoking.
With Venusaur's final Leaf Storm, Nidoking collapsed with a thud.
"So strong! Huh?"
Just as Nidoking was defeated, Ash's eyes lit up with admiration, but when he saw Venusaur's Trainer, Ash was instantly stunned.
A slender figure, wearing a red and white short-sleeved shirt on top, blue jeans on the bottom, and a baseball cap on his head.
A handsome face, red pupils, looking about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Red!
Ash looked at the young man with pleasant surprise.
"He is indeed very strong. Both in terms of level and command, the two sides are almost not on the same level."
A young, appreciative voice entered Ash's ears.
"That's for sure! That's Red, after all, Red is super strong!"
Ash replied without thinking, a triumphant smile appearing on his clear face.
That's right, in his eyes, his brother Red was a super strong Trainer, both his admired idol and the goal he longed to defeat!
"It looks like you know that person. He has won several matches in a row. Basically, if there's no accident, he's very likely to be the Champion of this festival battle."
Ryuga glanced at Ash beside him.
He didn't expect such a coincidence, to just happen to run into Ash.
But Ash wasn't the main focus.
Ryuga turned his gaze to the steady-faced, red-eyed young man, his eyes constantly flickering.
Red!
He really didn't expect to coincidentally run into Red here, but after thinking about it, Ryuga wasn't too surprised.
After all, in the games, the special manga, and the anime, it was always Red and Ash who eventually intervened in the S.S. Anne incident.
This is getting interesting.
Ryuga slowly curled his lips.
His first meeting with Red was in an opposing position.
"Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, both Green and Red will challenge the Indigo Plateau League this year, which means one of them will definitely challenge Lance."
Ryuga's eyes flickered even more frequently as he pondered.
This is very interesting, but this is a real world after all, and I don't know if Green and Red can pull Lance down from the Champion position.
As for Lorelei, Bruno, and Agatha, Ryuga didn't consider them at all.
Although these three Elite are much stronger than Elite from other regions.
But there's no way they can stop these two monsters, Green and Red.
"That's for sure. As long as Red is in the competition, Red will absolutely not lose!"
Ash's smile was very bright, but from his tone, one could also hear his blind admiration for Red.
Well, in short, Ash was Red's die-hard fan.
"Oh? You two should be brothers, you look very much alike."
Ryuga raised an eyebrow, looking at Ash with interest.
"That's natural, right? Red is one year older than me, but many people say we're twins."
Ash rubbed his nose, replying quite proudly.
"Are you a Trainer too? You look very strong. How about we have a battle?"
Then Ash blinked and challenged Ryuga.
He was just that kind of person.
Although he was a rookie Trainer, he never felt fear towards any opponent.
When in doubt, just do it!
Marnie looked at Ash in surprise, sizing him up.
He exuded a newbie aura from head to toe, and yet such a person dared to challenge Ryuga?
Ryuga couldn't help but smile.
This kid was really interesting.
"We'll talk about battling later. For nowâŠ"
Ryuga chuckled softly, his arm having somehow grabbed someone's shoulder.
"Madam, it's very impolite to casually take other people's things."
Ryuga turned to look at the chestnut-haired girl wearing a white hat and slowly spoke.
That's right, just now this girl seemed to accidentally bump into him and casually 'took' his wallet.
But Ryuga noticed that after his words fell, the girl's body suddenly stiffened.
It wasn't the tension of being caught stealing, but a more terrified stiffness.
This woman, recognized his voice?
...
Did she recognize his voice?
Ryuga narrowed his eyes slightly, but perhaps he was too sensitive.
Maybe it was just the body stiffening due to extreme nervousness from being caught red-handed.
"Huh? A thief?"
And upon hearing Ryuga's words, Ash's eyes suddenly widened, looking at the girl's back in surprise.
Coming to his senses, Ash immediately ran in front of the girl, blocking her and staring at her warily.
Yes, Ash, with his sense of justice, was just that righteous.
"What are you talking about? I didn't take your things."
The girl seemed to have recovered, glared fiercely at Ash, then turned around and looked down slightly at Ryuga as she spoke.
Her slightly magnetic voice was quite pleasant.
"Madam, with all due respect, stealing other people's property is, after all, immoral. It's better to turn over a new leaf sooner rather than later."
"Could you please return my wallet first? It's in your bag."
Ryuga said with a smile, pointing to the bag the girl was carrying on her back.
Even though the girl was looking down and half of her face was obscured by the wide brim of her hat, Ryuga could still see clearly.
It was a rather beautiful face. Ryuga was certain he had never seen it before, and her voice was also unfamiliar, butâŠ
Marnie looked at Ryuga speechlessly. There should be no one more immoral than you here, right?
Marnie couldn't help but inwardly complain, Ryuga really had the nerve to call someone else immoral.
"She really is a thief, hey? It's wrong to steal other people's things, how can you still deny it?"
Compared to the unfamiliar girl in front of him, Ash clearly trusted Ryuga more, after all, they had chatted a few times just now and his impression was good.
Seeing that the girl still wouldn't admit it, he immediately spoke with dissatisfaction.
This loudmouth is so annoying!
The girl glared at Ash again, inwardly jotting down this loudmouthed 'simple-minded' guy in her little notebook.
"Tch~ Here, take it, consider me unlucky."
The girl, with extremely quick hands, tossed a wallet to Ryuga and turned to leave.
But thenâŠ
"I've returned his wallet, what else do you want?"
The girl's eyelids twitched as she looked at the loudmouth who had once again spread his arms to block her, instantly becoming annoyed.
And she really wanted to leave quickly.
She never expected to run into Ryuga on this ship.
Wasn't this guy always in Johto?
"You stole someone's things, and you're not even going to apologize?"
The girl was annoyed, but Ash was clearly more dissatisfied.
This thief had absolutely no awareness of being caught red-handed.
Since when could thieves be so brazen?
"Huh? You want me to apologize?"
The girl's clear large eyes widened.
"That's a given, right?" Ash stared back without fear.
"Little brother, let it go. Show mercy where you can. Since she's unwilling, there's no need to force her." Ryuga chuckled, patting Ash's shoulder.
This was truly a naive young man full of justice.
Ash frowned upon hearing this, but said nothing, as it was, after all, the other person's business.
Subsequently, Ryuga turned his gaze to the young girl and asked curiously, "Have we met somewhere before?"
"No, little brother, your pick-up line is outdated."
The girl's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly broke out in a cold sweat, but her expression remained calm.
She retorted curtly, then turned and left without looking back.
"Those eyes⊠there's no mistaking them, Blue~"
Ryuga watched the girl's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He indeed remembered her clear and lively eyes vividly.
Although her appearance, voice, and figure were all wrong, disguises and voice mimicry were hardly difficult for her.
Blue!
(Pic Here)
On the other side, the girl quickly jogged along, finally arriving at a hidden corner.
She leaned against the wall, taking deep breaths.
"Didn't find me, didn't find me, thankfully didn't find me."
She secretly glanced in the direction she came from, and seeing that the familiar figure from her memory hadn't followed, Blue finally clutched her chest and sighed in relief.
"So stupid, so stupid! Why did I run into him! Good thing I was disguised⊠he shouldn't have recognized meâŠ"
After a while, Blue couldn't help but slap her own face in annoyance.
How did she end up stealing from him?
When Blue heard Ryuga's voice just now, she felt as if her breathing had stopped.
Yes, at that moment, she felt truly cold all over.
Ryuga!
Besides that nightmare in the organization, he was the most terrifying existence, and the person she had feared since childhood.
"No, I need to leave here quickly. I absolutely cannot stay on this ship."
Blue instantly decided to run.
The reason she got on the S.S. Anne in the first place was because there were definitely many socialites and young masters on board, giving her many targets to steal from.
Moreover, she had heard a rumor that Team Rocket would make a move on the S.S. Anne.
But now, who cared about Team Rocket or money. Her own safety was paramount.
Blue knew very well how terrifying that monster she grew up with was.
Team Rocket? What a joke, how could they be a match for that monster?
Hmm, Blue had no idea that the monster in her eyes had actually switched sidesâŠ
"There should be small lifeboats in the ship's hold. If all else fails, I'll just swim back with Wartortle."
Blue walked towards the exit of the hall.
There was no way she was staying, not in this lifetime.
Wherever that monster is, I, Blue, will absolutely not be there!
That's right, I, Blue, am that resolute!
Meanwhile, on Ryuga's side, just as Ryuga was about to say something to Ash, a boy and a girl came running over.
It was Brock and Misty, his two followers.
"Ash, where did you run off to? It took me a while to find you."
Misty 'roared' at Ash impatiently.
There were too many people here, and it was really inconvenient to find someone just by looking.
But in an instant, Misty noticed Ryuga, and her eyes immediately lit up.
Handsome face, tall figure, silver-white spiky hair with a red streak along with that crownâsuper beautiful, super cool!
"What? I was just watching Pokémon battles." Ash pouted after being complained at by Misty.
However, he knew it was his own fault and didn't dare to talk back loudly.
"These are your two friends, right? You've misunderstood Ash. Ash helped me a lot just now."
"I'm Dragon Ryuga, just call me Ryuga. Ash, thank you just now."
Ryuga glanced at Misty and the other, then chuckled, speaking to clear Ash's name.
"Ah haha~ No, I didn't do anything just now." Ash scratched his head, embarrassed.
"But that thief really got off easy just now. Ryuga, you're really a good person. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have let her go just like that, with such a bad attitude."
However, thinking of the thieving girl from earlier, Ash pouted.
She stole something from someone, yet acted as if she was in the right.
"I'm not a good person."
Ryuga was taken aback by the remark, then chuckled oddly.
