73. Sakura

Lapras had just been born, so of course Ash wanted to take it with him, not for training, but to cultivate feelings.

Although Lapras is a Water type Pokémon and cannot leave the water, this is not a problem. Misty also travels with a Goldeen.

The terrain of the Johto Region is mostly forests and there are many bodies of water, so this is not much of a issue.

"Ash!" Misty brought a little girl back to the Pokémon Center and seemed to be looking for him.

Ash and his party went separately, Brock was responsible for purchasing supplies, and Misty attended a tea party organized by the five Eevee sisters. This little girl is the youngest of the five sisters.

Because of the same experience, Misty and this little girl cherished each other and hit it off immediately.

"Ah, it's an Eevee!" Molly held Eevee in her arms, the furry touch was so comfortable.

"Hello, my name is Sakura!" The young girl greeted Ash politely.

"My name is Ash, this is my little sister, Molly, and this is my, Pikachu!" Ash introduced him and the other two.

"Pikachu!"

Misty brought Sakura to Ash, "Ash, Sakura here said she wants to travel along with us!"

Sakura seemed to realize that the backbone of Misty's team was the boy in front of her who looked about the same age as her. His eyes were very lively and intelligent.

"Please, I also want to participate in the Johto Silver Conference, is that okay?"

Of course Ash would not refuse. The more traveling companions, the more fun it will be. He also believe Brock will agree without much of a issue, "Okay, of course there is no problem with this!"

Hearing this, Sakura was ecstatic, "Great, I want to go home and talk to my sister about this. Misty and Ash, will you two accompany me then?"

Since she asked so nicely, Ash and Misty did not refuse.

So, they took Molly along to the home of the five sisters.

"Sister, please, I want to travel with Misty and the others!" Sakura's four sisters are all top-notch beauties. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and have a quiet and pleasant temperament.

Ash and Molly sat behind Misty and Sakura, while Molly was busy tasting the exquisite snacks prepared by the sisters for the ongoing tea party.

Obviously, these four sisters did not agree to Sakura's request so easily, "Sakura, your study has just begun!"

"Please! Please!" Sakura could only plead, and then looked at Misty beside her, "Misty, please tell them?"

Misty looked at the four and said, "Please, let her come with us!"

"Ash, Molly, what are you doing sitting so far away? Come over and help us!"

Hearing Misty calling him, Ash shook his head. Where did he get his position and right to speak in a room full of girls?

Sakura here doesn't even have the courage to travel by herself, and of course she doesn't have the ability or strength to do so.

She didn't have the courage to firmly believe that she wanted to travel. She even asked her friend to help her out to make them see that she is ready.

Not even as good as Molly! Even Molly was more prepared for traveling than Sakura.

"Leave it to the battle to see if they are ready!" Ash looked at the four beauties in front of him and said with a smile.

Seeing the beautiful smile in Ash's eyes, the eldest sister among the five sisters understood it and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I also want to see what kind of Trainer you are!"

Misty is a little confused by the sudden change, she thinks that it's going too fast.

The battle was held in the backyard of the sisters homes. The battle was one-on-one, with Sakura fighting against her other sister (Sumomo, Tamao, Koume), and Ash fighting against the eldest sister of the five sisters, Satsuki.

Sakura's battle ended quickly. Eevee was attacked by a Flareon and had no ability to fight back.

Regardless of Sakura's feelings in this battle, the battle between Ash and Satsuki began immediately.

"Sister, this Ash character is very powerful. Even the Gym Leader is not his opponent. Do you really want Sakura to travel?" The three sisters were a little worried about this battle.

Satsuki shook her head, "It would be great if Sakura could understand our intentions, and I believe this Ash has the same idea!"

Ash and Satsuki looked at each other and nodded in understanding.

Satsuki took the lead in sending out her own Pokémon, which is an evolved form of Eevee, the Electric type, Jolteon!

The Pokémon of the five sisters is the evolved form of Eevee, but Sakura's Eevee has not yet evolved, so the group lacks an Espeon.

Ash held the Ultra Ball and said, "Misty, weren't you curious about what Pokémon I caught with this Ultra Ball?"

"Huh?"

"I'll show you now! Strike them down, Raikou!"

Facing the Jolteon sent by Satsuki, Ash actually sent out the personification of Thunder Pokémon, Raikou!

"Roar!"

The saber-toothed tiger roared, and countless thunder snakes sprang up from the thunder cloud behind them, and fell on the grass in the garden, immediately forming streaks of burnt brown.

"What?"

The five sisters were so frightened that even if they overestimated Ash's power, they never expected that Ash would actually have a Pokémon like Raikou!

Sakura behind her was so scared that she covered her mouth. What kind of magic is this?

She quietly poked Molly next to her on the shoulder, "Molly, who is this brother of yours?"

Molly said proudly, "Big Brother Ash is my brother. He is the most powerful brother in the world! He also wants to catch Suicune and Entei!"

Hearing this, Sakura was stunned. She realized that Molly in front of her who could travel with Ash was definitely not a normal person!

The four other sisters and the Jolteon were also frightened by seeing Raikou. How would she fight this? Will they be beaten if they go up?

Seeing that his opponent no longer had the will to fight, Raikou had no choice but to turn back to Ash's side, and sparks behind him also restrained himself.

Pikachu and Molly had already pounced on it, having fun on its back.

Ash smiled and said, "Raikou, you are so fierce, you scared all these people!"

The four sisters opposite looked at Ash angrily, "It's not our fault. Why would you summon a Legendary Pokémon to battle our Pokémons?"

Raikou, let alone agreeing to Sakura's trip, even if you kidnap her all, who can stop you?

Raikou rolled his eyes at Ash and let himself go back inside the Ultra Ball.

Turning around, Ash looked at Sakura, whose mind was blank, and Eevee, who was so scared that she was about to foam from her mouth.

Sakura finally came to her senses and ran up to her four sisters, bowed lightly, then turned to Misty and said, "I'm sorry Misty, I think I still can't travel with you!"

"Do you understand?" Ash smiled.

"Well, thank you, Ash!" Sakura hugged her Eevee and said, "If I travel with you now, I will definitely become a drag on you! I plan to wait until I become stronger before I leave for a trip of my own!"

Satsuki also came back to her senses. Although the process was a bit different from what she had thought, fortunately the final result was still what it should have been. "And Sakura, your character is too dependent on others. You want to travel with Ash and the others, but you ask Misty to help you, this is not good!"

"When Pokémon battles, no one can help you! Ash, this is what you want to say, right?" Satsuki looked at Ash.

He simply nodded. He was not qualified to intervene in other people's family affairs, but he could still say a few words to Misty, "Misty, do you understand what the point of all this is?"

"I know, I know!" Although she didn't care in her attitude, Ash knew that she was taking this seriously.

It's just that the friend she just met is about to be separated again, and so Misty is a little sad.

Ash patted her shoulder and said, "Misty, starting from Ecruteak City, there is Olivine City on the left and Mahogany Town on the right. We will definitely come back to Ecruteak City!"

"Really? We have a deal, Sakura, that we will have a Pokémon battle again when we came back!" Misty suddenly became energetic.

"It's a deal!"
