"No, don't look! Turn around, now!" Ayumi's voice is a little pleading. She'd rather die than be seen naked like this!
"Alright, alright~" Ash turns back, pushes the fire closer to her, and starts drying her clothes.
The fire crackles in the hollow. After eating a warmed-up Oran Berry, Ayumi seems to get used to being naked in front of Ash. She lies down on the dry grass and slowly falls asleep.
Looking at the girl's slightly furrowed brows, Ash thinks for a moment and takes off his own clothes...
Then he quietly walks over to Ayumi.
And covers her with them.
Ash goes back to the fire and loosens his pants... to prevent them from ripping.
There's no helping it. Even though the girl is young, her charms are not. Or rather, is he into younger girls, too?
Ash inexplicably thinks of the "Harden" skill. Well, it should be useful in battle.
He glances at the sleeping girl and finally has time to check his system.
He opens his Arceus Phone, and several notifications appear in his mind:
"Ding... Main Quest 'First Partner' is complete. You have received the 'Must-Have Travel Pack'! A new main quest has been issued. Please check it out..."
"Ding... The Mythical Pokémon Mew has been registered in the Pokédex. You have completed the 'Rascal' quest and received the 'Anywhere Door' (single-use)! The 'Mythical Pokédex Collection' quest has been added to your list..."
"Ding... Lifetime Achievement 'Master Path - Phase 1' has been reached. You have received 'Master Pack 1'..."
"Hmm?" Ash is stunned. He didn't expect to complete two other quests besides the main one.
He opens the quest panel, and the content has been updated:
Main Quest: Team Kick-Out
Requirement: Catch 3 Pokémon.
Reward: Mystery Pack 1.
Mythical Pokédex Collection: To become a true Master, you need to get to know the Legendary Pokémon first.
Requirement: Register any Legendary, Mythical, Ultra Beast, or Paradox Pokémon in your Pokédex.
Reward: A random item that matches the Pokémon's characteristics.
Lifetime Master Path - Phase 2 (2/10):
Requirement: It's impossible to write a simple entry. Only your integrity can guarantee it.
Reward: Master Pack 1.
Anywhere Door (single-use): A single-use item summoned by Mew's "rascal" nature. It is said to have been in a certain cat's belly pocket. It is severely damaged and can only be used once.
Effect: By passing through this door, you can instantly arrive at any place you can think of.
Ash's mouth twitches. This item is perfect for Mew.
He tosses the Anywhere Door into his inventory and opens the two gift packs:
"Ding... You have opened the 'Must-Have Travel Pack'. You have received the 'All-Purpose Wristband,' the 'Faithful Cap' (x1), the 'Lightning Speed' shoes (x2), the 'Indestructible Battle Outfit' (x2), and the 'Universal Tent'!"
All-Purpose Wristband: A wristband with many functions, including weather forecasts, disaster warnings, phone calls, video, and a "lack-of-morality" map. It is recommended that you explore it yourself.
Faithful Cap: A stylish cap that provides shade. Legend says that when a partner Pokémon wears it, it can unleash incredible power. Note: Most legends are not to be trusted.
Lightning Speed Shoes: Lightweight, non-slip running shoes that can adapt to any terrain. They never wear out. Note: Don't be mistaken, they don't make you faster. Two pairs are available for washing.
Indestructible Battle Outfit: A cool and fashionable battle suit that can freely stretch to fit any body type. Note: Don't get the wrong idea; it's just an outfit that won't rip. Two sets are available for washing.
Universal Tent: A durable tent that automatically blocks sound and mental detection, allowing you to "be naughty" inside with peace of mind. Note: The size can be freely adjusted. When rolled up, it can wrap around a Snorlax two hundred times! You'll never have to worry about having too many "wives" and not enough room to fit them all.
"..." Ash's face darkens. The names sound awesome, but it turns out they're just names. Still, they are practical. That tent, in particular, is a godsend.
"Ding... You have opened the 'Master Pack'. You have received the 'Soul Crystal Core'!"
Soul Crystal Core: A crystal condensed with a vast amount of soul energy. Upon use, it can open up a mind space and gradually nourish a damaged soul.
"Hmm? If it can repair a soul, maybe it can restore Arceus's potential!"
Ash takes out the Soul Crystal Core, which looks like a piece of ice crystal. It slowly shines and spins in the air, then cuts a small opening in his brow and rushes in as a stream of light.
Ash then feels as if he has been hit by a Slaking's Hammer Arm. He faints in the tree hollow.
His consciousness appears in a chaotic space with a spring at its center.
The spring is constantly spreading, and it has already accumulated to the size of a bowl.
But Ash can feel that this process is very, very slow. Left to its own devices, it might take hundreds or even thousands of years to completely fill this space.
The next moment, the stream of light appears above the spring. As it shines, a sweet rain begins to fall across the entire space.
The rain quickly gathers in the spring. During this process, Ash feels his spiritual consciousness growing.
The rain seems endless. It continues to fall, and the small puddle has now formed a small lake.
But Ash can feel that this is not the limit of this space. As the spring water accumulates, the surrounding space also expands, becoming much larger.
Finally, the rain stops, and the crystal in the air turns into a shiny stone that slowly sinks into the lake...
While Ash is lost in his spiritual world, Ayumi slowly wakes up.
"This is..." Ayumi picks up the clothes covering her and sees a shirtless Ash, who has fainted next to her.
Next to him is a bottle of warm MooMoo Milk, which Ash must have warmed up for her.
"Gulp..." The bottle is empty. Ayumi has a satisfied look on her face. She glances at Ash and can't help but pout.
No one besides her mom has ever seen her body before, and today Ash saw everything.
In particular, the sensitive feeling of his fingers tracing her skin makes Ayumi a little overwhelmed. The image of Ash's gaze flashes in her mind, and Ayumi grits her teeth: "You jerk!"
She glances at the sleeping Ash and Pikachu. She's going to get her revenge.
She casually drapes Ash's shirt over her chest and quietly moves to his side.
Looking at the handsome boy up close, her heart beats a little faster from nervousness or something else.
"Hmm... Where should I bite?"
She examines Ash's firm but not overly exaggerated muscles, feeling a little lost on where to start.
Soon, Ayumi's eyes find a particular spot: "Hmm? Why is it so lumpy here?"
"But this doesn't feel right..."
"Oh, well! He took mine off, so it should be okay if I take his off, right?"
She glances at the sleeping Ash one more time. With a third of revenge and seven-tenths of curiosity, she unzips his pants...
The next moment, she freezes: "It's... so big... But why is there a golden ring on it?"
The Thousand Arms of Creation reflects a faint glow from the fire. Ayumi doesn't look for long. She's just about to put everything back the way it was...
But it was easy to get out of the restraints. Putting it back in is a lot harder...
The girl gets sweaty from the effort but can't succeed.
Just then, Ash lets out a soft groan and wakes up...
