Chapter 79 Sisters and Brothers Together!
Chapter 79 Sisters, let's go together!
Because the teleporter required Ash's authentication, it was delayed for a few days because of the Squirtle Island matter.
But after Charizard and Pikachu mastered their new skills, they said goodbye to Blaine and embarked on their journey home again.
Since their goal was to get home as soon as possible, they stayed on the main roads and avoided venturing into the forest, so Ash and his friends didn't get lost much.
The distance from Cinnabar Island to Cerulean City is not far; Ash and his friends arrived in Cerulean City two days after leaving there.
"Ah, I'm finally back, my Cerulean City!"
"Pokpi!"
Xiaoxia was very happy as soon as she returned to her hometown, and she chatted and laughed with Togepi on the way.
As soon as Ash entered Cerulean City, he saw a large sign standing at the entrance.
"Special Performance at Cerulean Dojo—Water Ballet?"
"Xiaoxia, doesn't the person on this 'GG' sign look like you?"
Upon hearing what Xiaozhi said, Xiaoxia quickly squeezed through to take a look.
"This hair color really does look like mine, and it's from the Cerulean Gym! Seriously, can't my sisters do what gym leaders are supposed to do?"
She immediately grabbed Satoshi and rushed towards the location of the Cerulean Dojo, but she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the dojo, she would be questioned by her older sisters.
"What happened? Xia's only just getting back! It's too late, we'll be late!"
The eldest sister, Sakura, was the first to fire.
"Yeah, you said on the phone you'd be back soon, did you get lost again on the way!"
"Alright, alright, hurry up and memorize all the lines in this."
The remaining two older sisters immediately chimed in.
The three older sisters bombarded her with questions one after another, and before she could even reply, a thick notebook was immediately shoved into her head.
"Wait, wait, wait a minute, what's going on here? And what is this thing?"
"Of course it's the script! We're performing underwater ballet tomorrow," said Sakura, the eldest sister, with a confident air.
"We were getting a little tired of the previous water shows, so we wanted to try something new."
Meanwhile, the blue-haired second sister, Ayame, looked at Kasumi with a sly grin.
"And you're the main character, after all, it's a new performance format, so we're letting you go on stage first to see how it goes."
"How come I never knew? Nobody ever told me!" Xiaoxia was naturally unhappy, suddenly being given a strange and troublesome task.
"Alright, alright, don't worry about the details, let's get ready, we've already sold all the tickets!"
The three sisters once again swarmed around Xiaoxia to persuade her, and also told her some bad news: Xiaoxia's name, the lead actress on the GG card, had already been printed out.
"How could this be?"
These three older sisters really show no mercy when it comes to tricking their younger sister.
In the end, Xiaoxia reluctantly agreed to help her three older sisters.
She will play the mermaid princess, her older sister Sakura will play the prince, and her two other older sisters and Ash will play the villains.
"Am I involved too?"
"Of course, I'm really short-handed, and you can lend us your Water-type Pokémon too."
Sakura gave Ash an irresistible reason: Cerulean is short-handed because they sent people to the Philosopher's Gym.
Ash had no choice but to agree to help. The so-called "water ballet" was basically a clichéd hero-saves-the-damsel story, just with the addition of a water-type Pokémon.
But the audience in Hualan City just loved watching this show, and the tickets sold out almost instantly.
During rehearsal, Misty released her Pokémon, and Sakura was very happy.
"I was worried that we wouldn't have enough Pokémon, but I didn't expect that you've trained your Pokémon to be so good."
"You didn't just enjoy yourself the whole way, I'm so glad."
"My little boyfriend is actually quite useful."

"It's my pleasure to serve you, Miss Sakura!"
With practiced ease, Ash bent down and delivered a gentlemanly kiss, taking advantage of Sakura while shamelessly claiming credit for it.
"What? I tried my best too!"
Xiaoxia was told to continue memorizing her lines, while Sakura and the other two called Xiaozhi to a room in the Cerulean Gym.
"Ash has played a significant role in helping Misty become an excellent trainer, and we are very grateful to you."
There was only one chair in the room. Sakura picked up Pikachu from Ash's shoulder and sat down with a big smile on her face.
"You're really amazing. You've managed to acquire the Dark City Gym and the Crimson Group in Evolve Town in just one year of traveling."
Sensing that something was amiss, Ayame and Botan each put their hands on one of Ash's shoulders, as if afraid he would run away.
"Sister, I'm really growing to like you more and more. How about you marry into our family?"
"I can guarantee that you and Xiaoxia will take charge of Hualan in the future."
Sakura continued to look at Ash with a smile on her face.
"That cherry blossom sister can't marry into my family because I'm the only male in my family and an only child."
"Oh, Xia really has no charm; she can't even hold onto a man."
"You seem to have connections with Sabrina from the Saffron Gym and Rika from the Celadon Gym, you womanizing radish."
Having some things revealed to him, Xiao Zhi couldn't say much and could only force a smile.
"If you're willing to marry into Hualan City, we'll offer even more."
"How about the three of us sisters and Xiaoxia go together?"
Together? What, together?
In Ash's mind, the four sisters' mission prompts kept ringing.
At that moment, the blue-haired beauty Ayame reached her hand into Ash's pocket.
Squeeze it hard!
The young man working out stood at attention.
Xiaoxia's third sister, Mudan, hugged Xiaozhi from behind, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear.
"You should think it over carefully, Mr. Satoshi."
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Does Xiaoxia agree?"
"It's alright, the three of us have a great interest in taking things from Xiaoxia. As long as the three of us ask together, Xiaoxia won't refuse."
This group of people didn't know that Ash's proudest achievement was his ability to control his facial expressions.
No matter what the three sisters did, he remained unmoved and his expression did not change at all.
"I'm sorry, no, I won't do anything that would hurt Xia."

"Well, the initial test is over." Sakura waved her hand, signaling the two of them to quickly release Ash.
"I'll be leaving Xiaoxia in your care from now on."
As Sakura left, she smiled and said something to Ash.
"The conditions I've proposed are real and valid, Ash, provided that the Golden Gym and Rainbow Gym can't interfere."
"Yes, I will think about it carefully!"
I must say, Xiaoxia's second sister's hands are very soft and have a wonderful feel to them.
Of course, now is not the time to think about that. Just now, Ash relied on his strong will to guard his heart and passed Sakura's test, which can be considered as being initially accepted by the Cerulean family.
Ash has been to Misty's room, and it's very luxurious.
The store displays a wide variety of toys and photos of Xiaoxia from childhood to adulthood.
It's clear that the three older sisters really dote on Xiaoxia.
They also particularly enjoy teasing Xiaoxia, and it seems they weren't joking when they said they liked to steal Xiaoxia's things.
"What a twisted sisterly relationship."
