"Hehe, my sister's Squirtle directly evolved into a Wartortle and utterly defeated that big guy's Graveler..."
Ayumi looked very proud, which made Ash chuckle.
From her, Ash also learned that Brock was no longer the Gym Leader and that the two sisters had challenged his father, Flint.
It was no wonder Ash couldn't find Flint's rock stand.
He figured that maybe due to the Guzzlord incident in Viridian Forest, his good buddy hadn't shown up yet, which caused Brock to leave earlier.
Ash breathed a sigh of relief. That was for the best. Otherwise, if he brought a bunch of girls with him, it would be a pain to have Brock harassing them every day.
Over this period, the girls' Pokémon had all reached the level of twenty-something, so Ash wasn't surprised that they were able to pass the first Gym's test.
But since the Gym Leader was now Flint, could he consider raising the difficulty?
That night, Ash opened his system panel. He still had a task: a "Kanto Tyrant" mission to challenge Gyms and gain the Gym Leader's approval.
And the reward for the mission depended on how he completed it.
In other words, he needed to make the Gym Leader approve of him as much as possible.
With that in mind, he continued to pour psychic energy and internal energy into the Pokémon egg.
This was something Ash had only recently discovered.
His psychic energy was a special kind of soul energy that could heal and repair mental fatigue or trauma.
This was also why the energy of his Arceus's soul was continuously reviving.
Of course, this was also thanks to the two Rainbow Wings and one Silver Wing he had.
One represented the flames of life and revival, and the other represented the spirit and the vastness of the ocean.
Under the influence of the three feathers, Ash's physical quality was subtly changing every moment.
"Daddy... I want to see you~" The little loli inside the egg spoke.
After days of communication, she could already have simple exchanges with Ash using her psychic power.
"You can't call me Daddy. You have to call me Master... And if you want to see me, you have to work hard to grow up and hatch from your shell~"
"Okay... I know, Daddy."
Ash was speechless. "It's Master..."
"Mmm, Daddy."
In the end, Ash couldn't get the little one to change her title for him... This scene was very similar to how he and Delia used to be...
The difference was that he intentionally called Delia his wife, but this little one genuinely saw him as her biological father...
After feeding her and making her full, he reluctantly put her back under the covers.
Ash could feel that the egg was about to hatch, and he had promised his daughter that he would be the first person she saw after being born...
So, recently he had been sleeping with the egg.
Of course, before going to sleep, he still had to have some "exercise" with Pikachu and the others.
Now that he was at a Pokémon Center, he had his own room, so he no longer had to sneak around like he did when he was in the same tent as the girls...
"Mmm..." He slowly entered Celebi's cave.
Ash couldn't help but activate his lactation ability.
Celebi always had a certain divine quality about her that he found very addicting. The feeling of defiling her perfect appearance and body, and making her moan and sigh, brought him great pleasure...
"Ash... Ash... Celebi... is going... to... come..."
Her pure face, perfect body, and innocent words always stirred Ash's desires.
After climaxing three times in a row, he then entered the long-waiting Pikachu.
Over time, Ash had developed his own routine. The feminized Pikachu and Celebi would be satisfied first, and then they would help each other.
Ash would then spend the rest of his time on Pidgeotto and Eevee.
He figured that their Silver Weaves were also close to completion.
Of course, he saved his final act of affection for Feebas.
This shy little girl had improved a lot now.
Especially with the help of the dual cultivation, her body lines had become more slender, and her color had brightened considerably.
He had to say, she could now be called the most beautiful Feebas.
At least in Ash's eyes, she was more than deserving of the title.
And it was because of this approval that she was always the most crazed one.
Even Eevee, who would always get an itch and look for Ash, couldn't compare to her.
It was an expression of... infatuation, devotion, and persistence that naturally gave Ash an excellent experience.
Maybe it was because of her body shape, but Feebas was the best at "gripping" among all the Pokémon...
Ash was already looking forward to what kind of surprise she would bring him after she became a Milotic...
Kissing Eevee's delicate body, Ash left who knows how many seeds of life inside Pidgeotto's body before hugging them and falling into a deep sleep.
He didn't notice that the Pokémon egg beside him gently shook for a moment.
The next morning, Ash took Ayumi to the Pewter Gym.
Green and Misty were still sleeping in. Ayumi hadn't planned to come either, but she got excited at the thought of being alone with Ash...
And so, she had rushed to wash and eat... Her hair was still a mess.
Ash couldn't help but take off her hair tie and reach out to tuck her long, loose hair behind her ear.
He smiled slightly. "You look so much better this way~ So pretty."
The little girl was stunned. This was the first time she had received a positive compliment from Ash...
She had always let Ash take advantage of her, and with their half-childhood friend past, the girl had already fallen deeply in love, but Ash was not in a hurry, so she could only wait patiently.
Because of this, a simple smile and a word of praise were enough to make her heart beat faster.
"Hmph! So you're just noticing I'm pretty now~" Ayumi lowered her eyes happily.
Ash smiled mischievously. "Mmm... You do look quite pretty with your pants off~"
"Ah! You... pervert!" Ayumi's face immediately turned red. Her tone was a mix of shyness and coyness, but there was no sense of blame. She pulled him into the Gym as a way to hide her embarrassment.
Soon, Ash saw his opponent for this challenge, Flint.
His face was at least eighty percent similar to Brock's. The sight of an entire family of squinty-eyed people was a wonder of the Pokémon world...
"Hello, Gym Leader Flint. I'm Ash from Pallet Town. I'd like to have a Gym battle with you!"
Flint nodded slightly. "You're the sixth person from Pallet Town. I'll just call you Six."
Ash was speechless. Flint continued to announce, "The rules for the Pewter Gym challenge are 2-on-2. The challenger can freely switch Pokémon. The match ends when all of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle."
"No problem," Ash nodded. "But I'd like to ask you to raise the difficulty of the challenge, Mr. Flint."
Hearing this, Flint opened his squinted eyes slightly. "Oh? What level do you want to challenge?"
Ash smiled confidently. "Elite level!"
"What?! How could he..." Ayumi was shocked.
She knew that the challenge she and Green had yesterday was only at a mid-tier level.
This was a privilege for the first Gym.
It was similar to the situation in the anime, where some Gym Leaders wouldn't use all their strength to test a challenger, especially a Gym like Pewter City that was close to the starting town.
A level of a dozen or twenty was usually enough.
So, when Ash said "Elite level," it surprised them so much.
"You're an interesting kid... It shall be as you wish!"
"Go, Rhydon!"
Rhydon lv41 (Elite, Low-tier)
