Chapter 100 Pikachu Agrees
"Master Bai Zhou! It's been so long!!!"
A joyful and energetic voice boomed behind Gengar.
Ash ran over right after Gengar, his eyes shining as he looked at White Boat, his face filled with undisguised admiration and excitement.
"Master! Your Gengar is truly amazing! Pikachu and I are completely convinced of our defeat! But I'll win the next battle!"
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu agreed.
Gengar stared wide-eyed at the energetic Pikachu, incredulous.
(⊙⊙)？
Didn't you just run out of energy?
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Bai Zhou simply set sail.
To be honest, he had a very good impression of this silly-smiling boy who completed a 25-year journey in just one year.
After all, it's a childhood memory.
"What are you standing there for? Order whatever you want to eat, Gengar is treating today."
"Haha, how could I possibly accept that!"
Ash was polite in his words, but he quickly and efficiently helped Pikachu sit down.
"By the way, Master! I've learned all of the Bajiquan you taught me! When are you going to teach me Taijiquan? I'm all ready!"
"Well, let's eat first."
Seeing Xiao Zhi suddenly become so enthusiastic, Bai Zhou lowered his head, feeling an urge to cover his face, and quickly changed the subject.
"Why did you suddenly decide to travel here?"
He truly hadn't expected Ash to appear here.
However, given Ash's identity, it is still necessary to find out the reason so that we can prepare ourselves mentally in advance.
After all, which movie doesn't start with Ash's unexpected journey?
He didn't want to get caught up in some world crisis for no reason and waste time saving the world.
"Ah—well—"
This time it was Xiao Zhi's turn to feel embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head and said with a slightly shy expression:
"It's mainly because of you, Master. I watched your live stream, and it was so interesting! That's why I thought of traveling here—"
Oh! And another thing! I've already got four badges in the Pokémon games!
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhou paused.
Because of me? What did I do? I just did a live stream!
No, I really don't want to work overtime anymore!
During the meal.
Bai Zhou stared at the empty plates that had quickly piled up into a small mountain in front of Xiao Zhi, lost in philosophical thought.
It's not that I'm worried about the money; after all, this meal was a free one that Gengar won. The one who should be worried is the boss who's been persecuting Dragonite.
What truly broke him was Ash's terrifying appetite!
And then there's that triangular, pointed head of hair after taking off the hat—
This guy—could he actually have some Saiyan blood?!
What's even more terrifying is that, out of some kind of perverse pleasure, he had previously taught Xiaozhi authentic Bajiquan!
Now, Xiao Zhi is probably not only the strongest shield, but also the sharpest spear!
It's hard to imagine what inhuman level this guy's physical strength has evolved to.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you—"
Bai Zhou gave a weak reminder and then glanced at Gengar beside him.
Gengar seemed to have been aroused by Ash's strange competitive spirit, and kept stuffing food into its bottomless mouth!
Although it occasionally cheats by using shadow space transfer.
Bai Zhou had already finished eating and was about to complain about something else when his phone vibrated.
Upon opening it, I found it was a private message.
The profile picture is of Rika, a woman dressed in a kimono with a gentle and elegant demeanor.
"I am not a young lady: I have been entrusted by someone, could you please spare a little of your free time, busy Lord Bai Zhou?"
(Smile)"
"My dream is to retire like a salted fish: Oh, not at all, Miss Rika, I'm ready to serve at any time!"
"I'm not some young lady: It's been so long, I didn't expect our way of addressing each other to have become so distant—well, after all, he's someone I can't keep. (Sighs)"
"My dream is to retire and be a salted fish: Hold on, hold on! Miss Rika is still as fond of joking as ever. Is there something you need from me?"
"I'm not a rich girl: it's about Rainbow University—"
Bai Zhou waited for the next message, but the other party sent a 60-second voice message instead.
I clicked play, and Lijia's gentle and melodious voice came through.
The message was about Rainbow University wanting to hire him as a professor and asking for his opinion on when he would return to Kanto.
However, there was a strong sense of resentment in his words.
I don't think I've ever offended Miss Rika in any way, have I?
Bai Zhou felt a headache coming on when he thought of the occasional hint of her cunning.
"My dream is to retire like a salted fish: I'll go back to Kanto once things are settled here, but becoming a professor is out of the question—I believe Ms. Rika's knowledge and charm make her more suitable and competent for the position than I am!"
"I'm not a young lady: So you think so highly of me, Lord Bai Zhou? I'm delighted. Well then, I won't bother you any longer, Lord Bai Zhou. (Smiles)"
Bai Zhou looked at the message and inexplicably felt a sense of relief, letting out a long sigh of relief.
He glanced at Ash and Gengar, who were still battling with their food, and then casually scooped up Pikachu, who was sitting on a chair, slumped in a daze after eating and drinking its fill.
"Pikachu?"
Pikachu made a symbolic cry, and instead of struggling, it naturally rubbed its little head against his palm.
A comfortable gurgling sound came from his throat.
Bai Zhou skillfully petted Pikachu, his fingers precisely scratching the electric sacs on its chin, behind its ears, and cheeks.
Pikachu's limbs went limp instantly, its eyes glazed over, and it revealed an expression of utter bliss, letting out a long, drawn-out "Pikachu" moan.
Ignoring the rat-shaped pancake in his arms, Bai Zhou picked up his phone with his other hand and started scrolling through video platforms out of boredom.
The first message pushed to the homepage was a notification that his video had been featured on the "must-see" list!
The comments section was bustling with activity.
"Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen are really fun."
"How did you know I encountered a shiny caterpillar in Viridian Forest?"
"I won the speedrunning league and now I'm back to catch up on the hidden storylines! I didn't realize I missed so much! Now I can play through it all again! I'm so happy!"
"Let's have a rational discussion. Besides the popular Gengar, what other Pokémon has Teacher Xianyu bred? It seems like he can handle any type with ease."
"Thank you, Pokémon! You made my dream of becoming a trainer come true!"
Returning to the homepage, he was even more surprised to find that more than half of the videos recommended on the homepage were related to Pokémon!
"13-minute gameplay demo of Pokémon Studios' first game, Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen"
"Pokémon: The Dumbest Trainer in History (Episode 1)"
"After becoming a Pokémon Trainer, Pokémon healed my mental exhaustion."
"Mewtwo! An artificial legend! A super-exciting concept PV mashup! The sense of oppression is off the charts!"
Who is the mastermind behind the Rockets? A video will tell you! (Speculation)
