“Charmeleon, use Flamethrower to finish the battle!”
Following Ash's command, Charmeleon and Growlithe used Flamethrower together to take down the two Rattata. Ash then watched as Chansey fed the two unconscious Rattata Oran Berries before leaving.
Misty watched the two fainted Rattata and couldn't help but say, “That's so sad…”
“It's a sign of respect, and Chansey has already fed them Oran Berries.”
Misty looked at Chansey and said, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to ask, Ash, are you connected to the Joy family? You have a Chansey, and it seems like it’s learned some medical knowledge?”
Ash didn't hide anything from Misty's question and directly said, "Indeed, there’s a little connection, and my Chansey has indeed been to a nurse school. However, she likes fighting more."
“Lucky!”
Chansey hugged Ash, and Ash said with a wry smile, "Okay, okay, and you like me, I know, and I like you too!”
“Lucky!”
Seeing Chansey hugging Ash, Meowth grumbled, “Cut it out, as if the rest of us don't like the Boss.”
Slap!
Chansey slapped Meowth on the head, giving him a big bump. Meowth grumbled, “Meow! That’s a provocation, meow! Don’t think that you’re the Boss's pet so I won't dare hit you, meow! You should call me Dad!”
“Lucky!” Chansey pointed at Miltank.
“What, meow? You're saying Miltank is your Mom?”
Misty found the bickering Meowth and Chansey quite amusing.
“Right, Ash, I need to contact home later. We’ll contact each other when it’s time to depart, okay?”
“Sure, we’ll contact each other via Pokégear and set a meeting point then.”
After confirming, they continued on their journey and soon arrived in Celadon City. However, as soon as they arrived, a female Officer Jenny rode over on her motorcycle.
“Please show your identification, huh? Ash?”
“Yo, Jenny.”
Seeing Ash, Officer Jenny’s aura eased up.
“Ash, have you started your journey?”
“Yes, after all, I’m an adult now. By the way, here’s my Pokédex.”
Ash handed the Pokédex, which proved his identity, to Officer Jenny. Officer Jenny carefully examined it. Although Ash had a connection with the Officer Jenny family, it didn't mean that he would use it to seek any special privileges. When it came to official matters, Ash wouldn't be sloppy.
After checking and confirming, Officer Jenny returned the Pokédex to Ash and also verified Misty’s identity.
After verifying her identity, Misty left first, she had to contact her family. Ash, on the other hand, was stopped by Officer Jenny.
Seeing Misty leave, Officer Jenny grabbed Ash’s cheek and said, “Come on, tell me, did you forget something?”
Seeing Officer Jenny treating Ash like this, Ash’s Pokémon didn’t bother to care, Pikachu and Meowth were playing patty-cake, Latias looked a bit panicked, and Chansey just giggled as she touched her egg.
“Wait, Sis, what could I have forgotten? Oww, ow, ow!”
“What could you have forgotten? I heard from Professor Oak that you’ve already given Nana-san a ring.”
“Sis, Nana-san is my fiancée, right? It's normal for me to do this, isn't it?”
“Humph, you little sly fox, then I ask you, what about our Officer Jenny family? Don’t tell me you haven’t prepared anything.”
Seeing that Officer Jenny finally stopped kneading his face, Ash relaxed and explained, “But Blue, look, your Officer Jenny family hasn’t prepared my so-called arranged marriage partner, so I couldn’t possibly just randomly give out a ring, could I?”
“That’s true, I forgot, alright. Let me ask you, was it your idea to propose the peace treaty for the Continent Hotel?”
The peace treaty was a rule of the Continent Hotel, prohibiting all non-formal battle activities within the hotel. Once discovered, police and even Champions who are enjoying free food and drinks here would have the obligation to beat up the troublemaker. Of course, some Pokémon hunting gangs would choose to help the Continent Hotel deal with troublemakers to earn extra money. Ash said to himself, "I have money!"
“It was my idea. How about it? Things have been a lot more convenient for you guys, haven’t they?”
“It’s a lot more convenient, but don’t you feel strange working with those who once caught people?”
Officer Jenny Blue couldn’t help but think that way, after all, many organizations would try to redeem their people after being caught. So, there would always be times when awkward situations would occur.
Ash understood that, so he could only say helplessly, “Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, those organizations have contributed a lot of money by holding meetings at the Continent Hotel, right? Or do you think that's why the Joy family and your Officer Jenny family don't have any shares but still get so much dividend...”
“I know, I just feel annoyed.” Officer Jenny Blue naturally understood the two sides of this world. In fact, she saw it more clearly as a police officer. She was just venting her frustration now.
“So, Sis, any other questions?”
“None.”
“Then I’m off.”
Seeing Ash about to leave, Officer Jenny grabbed him and said, “Wait, I wasted your time, let me take you wherever you’re going.”
Seeing this, Ash didn’t stand on ceremony and directly took Meowth and the others to sit behind Officer Jenny. The only one who needed to be a little cramped was Chansey, she was a bit big. “Oh, thanks, I’m going to the Pokémon Center first.”
Being hugged from behind by Ash, Officer Jenny Blue blushed, but then started the motorcycle.
