—------------------—
Led by Chansey, Ash and Misty arrived at a room in the Pokemon Center. The room was very simple, with two bunk beds and a walkway in the middle. Inside, there was a bathroom for showering, using the toilet, and washing up.
In short, it was small but complete.
"Thanks, Chansey. I'm so sorry to trouble you so late at night," Misty said apologetically, stroking Chansey's round head.
Ash and Pikachu had already flopped onto a bed, letting out comfortable Growls.
"You two, keep your voices down! You'll wake people up!" Misty turned around, pouting, and said with dissatisfaction.
"Sorry, sorry. I really feel like it's been a long time since I slept in a bed. It's only been one day since I left home, but this is what traveling feels like~" Ash did a carp-jump to get up from the bed, his face showing apology.
"Pika Pika~" Pikachu also showed an apologetic expression, scratching its head awkwardly.
"I can't do anything with you two... You and Pikachu sleep on this bed, and I'll sleep over here. I'm warning you, don't have any improper thoughts about me. Although I'm the world's cutest beautiful girl, I also know some martial arts! If you dare to do anything sneaky while I'm sleeping... watch out for my fist!!"
Misty waved her unthreatening fist, her pretty face showing a menacing look.
"Improper thoughts? What do you mean?"
"You!!" Misty pointed at Ash, her finger trembling slightly. If it were anyone else, she would definitely think that person was looking down on her, but with Ash, he probably really didn't know.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, Ash's personality and thoughts were really too easy to understand. This guy was clearly the type who knew nothing about matters between men and women. Otherwise, Misty would never have stayed in the same room with Ash, even if they had separate beds.
The reason she was sleeping in the same room with Ash was partly due to her understanding of Ash after interacting with him all day, and on the other hand, the most important reason was... Ash had received Ho-Oh's approval.
A Trainer approved by Ho-Oh couldn't be a bad person. This was more authoritative than any other knowledge or information.
Therefore, Misty felt at ease staying in the same room with Ash. The harsh words she had just said were merely a subconscious act, and Ash's reply almost made her angry—she might as well not have said anything!
"I'm going to sleep if there's nothing else. I'll tell you about registration tomorrow." On the way, Ash had asked Misty how to register for the Pokémon League Conference and the general situation of the Kanto League Conference.
But Misty, who had been traveling all day, was really too tired, too tired to even answer Ash, so this matter was left until tomorrow.
"No, I haven't showered yet... Ah ah ah ah!! I'm going to die!" Misty, who had fallen onto the bed, suddenly sat up, her somewhat tired face showing a hint of collapse.
As a super beautiful girl, how could she go to bed without showering? If there were no conditions, then so be it, but now that the shower room was right next to them, how could she tolerate the dust all over her body?
"Ash, you go out first. You can come back in after I've showered." Although it was basically impossible for Ash to peek, Misty still couldn't stand having a boy she had only known for a day outside while she was showering. It was a psychological discomfort.
"Alright." Ash shrugged and carried Pikachu outside. Anyway, he wasn't planning on sleeping right now. He had a bunch of questions he was eager to ask the big shots in the chat group.
It was just that he had been on the road, so he hadn't even had a chance to enter the chat group. Now that Misty was showering, he could stand outside and also go into the chat group to ask some questions...
[Newbie Ash: Big shots, urgent help, do you know what kind of existence Ho-Oh is? Is it a legendary Pokémon? What's special about her?]
[Rainbow Hero Ash: You met Ho-Oh? On the first day of your journey?]
[Newbie Ash: Yes, big shot, your name... Did you also meet Ho-Oh on the first day?]
Wasn't the title of Rainbow Hero the legendary title Misty had told him about earlier?
In other words, this new Ash also met Ho-Oh like him?
[Rainbow Hero Ash: Actually, many 'me' in this group have met Ho-Oh, but it's still relatively rare to meet her on the first day of a journey... Did you get the rainbow wing?]
[Newbie Ash: Yes, yes! I also wanted to ask what this thing is for? Why did its color turn gray when Misty held that feather, but it was colorful when I held it?]
[Rainbow Hero Ash: You actually got the rainbow wing... Many people in the group have met Ho-Oh, but besides me, you are the second one to get the rainbow wing.]
Indeed, many Ashs in the entire group had met Ho-Oh, but only Rainbow Hero Ash had managed to obtain the rainbow wing before, which is why he used that name.
This was because he not only had the rainbow wing, but he also eventually defeated and captured Ho-Oh. Although there were many Ashs in the group, an Ash who could capture a legendary Pokémon was definitely a rarity.
[Newbie Ash: Eh! Did none of the other big shots get the rainbow wing? What exactly is this feather for? Is it really, as Misty said, used to accept Ho-Oh's trial?]
[Rainbow Hero Ash: Your Misty knows a lot. That's right, this rainbow wing is a stepping stone for the trial Ho-Oh gives to the Trainers she chooses. However, besides that, the rainbow wing has other uses.]
[Rainbow Hero Ash: I'm sure you've also felt it, where the rainbow wing is present, the growth of living things is exceptionally fast. That's because the rainbow wing contains Ho-Oh's life force. If humans carry it for a long time, it can enhance physical fitness, increase vitality, and prolong life. According to my estimation, it can increase lifespan by at least fifty years.]
[Newbie Ash: !!!]
What?! Fifty years! A broken feather can increase lifespan by fifty years? This isn't a joke, is it?
However, the effects of the rainbow wing were not just limited to this.
[Rainbow Hero Ash: If a Pokémon carries the rainbow wing, it can also increase the Pokémon's vitality, which can indirectly increase its stamina. I don't have Breeder Ash's ability to Detect a Pokémon's aptitude, but from the performance of my Pokémon carrying the rainbow wing, this thing should be able to help Pokémon break through the upper limit of their stamina aptitude.]
[Rainbow Hero Ash: Not only that, but carrying the rainbow wing also allows for a small amount of stamina recovery at intervals during battle, and it can also boost the power of Fire-type and Flying-type moves. It can be said to be a super support item.]
[Newbie Ash: ...]
There was something he wasn't sure if he should say: Is your rainbow wing... a feather, or a cheat code?
