Pokémon: Ash's New Journey

Ash thought that Misty would definitely get angry, but... nothing happened!

Yes! It was that miraculous!

It seemed that after his transformation, he no longer acted foolishly or said insensitive things, and Misty wasn't as violent as before...

That's how it should be!

Hmm?

Wait! It seemed like both Misty and May had sprayed the perfume he gave them?

Ash suddenly caught a whiff of the perfume and, looking over, noticed that both girls were wearing the necklaces he had gifted them, almost as if they had planned it together.

He rubbed his nose and wisely kept silent.

Afterward, Misty and May ignored Ash and started talking, but just from the blush creeping up Misty's ears, he could tell she had asked May who had carried her over to the sofa.

Who would have thought she had been princess-carried by Ash...

Professor Gordon and the others successfully returned with the Caterpie, which had returned to its normal state.

Wait, the Caterpie had successfully evolved into a Metapod and then into a Butterfree!

Where's my Butterfree? Are you okay?

Ash couldn't help but think of his own Butterfree.

However, he no longer had the chance to get it back.

After all, Butterfree had already flown off with its mate to who knows where.

Professor Gordon interrupted Ash's thoughts.

"Ash, thank you so much! To express my gratitude for your help, I've decided to give you five of my greatest inventions—these incredible candies that can change the century!"

Professor Gordon was truly grateful to Ash.

Ash had helped him recover his invention blueprints and the miraculous candies, a significant favor!

Ash felt a rush of joy in his heart, but this wasn't the ultimate answer he sought. To prepare for the future and acquire the candies that could make Pokémon gigantic, he wanted to get his hands on them.

"Professor Gordon, I was wondering if you'd be interested in conducting more in-depth research on these candies? If so, I think I could be of help."

Of course, Ash wouldn't do the research himself, but others would!

And the financial backing would be substantial!

The Devon Corporation in the Hoenn region!

That was the company owned by Steven Stone's father, Joseph Stone (usually referred to as Mr. Stone).

What Ash envisioned was collaboration!

As for him? He would simply enjoy the dividends when the time came.

Ash had already thought of how to persuade Professor Gordon, but before he could say anything, Professor Gordon directly handed him a file box.

"That's great, Ash! This research has always been my greatest achievement, and it would be a breakthrough to improve it. Here's the research data! If you find someone who can help me improve it, please be sure to let me know!"

With that, Professor Gordon took out a file box from the case.

"If it weren't for you, this data would have been stolen long ago. I still have a backup, haha!"

Of course, this was Professor Gordon's hard work. Ash decided that if he negotiated well with Devon Corporation, he would definitely bring Professor Gordon into the project.

He understood that even a trainer's power is limited.

Although he now had a system that could potentially break this limitation, it was always wise to prepare for the future.

If he could master the research on Pokémon gigantification, then...

At the same time, Ash also planned to discuss Mega Evolution with Devon Corporation later on.

Of course, that was a topic for another day.

For now, he would focus on challenging the Battle Frontier!

Having left the town, no one knew that the prototype for Pokémon gigantification was hidden within this very town.

Ash, Brock, Misty, and May continued their journey.

By the evening, after enjoying a delicious dinner prepared by Brock, they finally arrived at Saffron City.

In Saffron City, they had two main things to do.

One was May's first time participating in the Saffron Contest, and the other was Ash challenging the Battle Arena nearby.

Of course, there was one thing Ash couldn't directly take Misty and May to do.

That was to check on Sabrina and see how she was doing.

After all, after challenging the Saffron Gym, he didn't know how Sabrina was faring now.
