After winning the Withered Leaf Gym badge, Ash and his companions were heading to Lumplour City, as that was where Ash and his sister, Lily, had agreed to meet. Ash was excited to see Lily, so he couldn't help but smile. Xia and St. Dai were speechless, watching him.
"I said, Moneygrubber, can you stop smiling?"
"Huh? Sorry, I'm just so happy. I hope you can understand."
Seeing that Ash's smile didn't diminish even after saying that, Xia couldn't help but say: "Ash, you and Lily are really close, huh..."
"Of course. We've known each other for a long time. By the way, if we're going to Lumplour City, we need to take a boat..."
Bang!
Before Ash could finish his sentence, Musashi and Kojiro, dressed as hot girls, appeared in front of Ash. Ash's happy mood instantly vanished. He stared at them blankly, his smile gone.
Musashi and Kojiro didn't notice they were exposed, and they said in a sultry voice: "Congratulations! You seem like super lucky people!"
Kojiro: "Super!"
Ash wanted to punch them, and he was already reaching for his bag, ready to pull out a brick.
"What do you mean by lucky?" Ash looked gloomy, and his eyes under his hat were practically glowing red. Musashi and Kojiro sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled out a ticket.
Musashi: "We have a free luxurious ship ticket for you lucky guys!"
Kojiro: "It's really free!"
Then, Musashi pulled out four tickets, each labeled "St. Anne."
Xia looked at the ticket and said in surprise: "St. Anne, huh? My family has a model of this ship, it is indeed luxurious."
"Oh! You're really smart, little sister. So you're not only super lucky, you're also very knowledgeable. For your sake, we'll give you these four tickets! We're looking forward to your arrival!"
Without waiting for the four of them to refuse, Musashi stuffed the tickets into their hands and then hopped away with Kojiro. Ash stopped his brick-pulling action and said: "What do you guys think?"
Xia thought for a moment and said: "Listen to Ash, he should have a plan."
St. Dai shrugged: "Whatever, you're the one leading the way, Moneygrubber."
Goh stared blankly at the direction where Musashi and Kojiro disappeared.
"Pretty big sisters…"
Ash looked at the tickets and said: "Let's check it out?"
Soon, Ash and his companions reached the St. Anne, and Xia and the others couldn't help but say: "It really is luxurious."
Hidden in the bushes, Musashi, Kojiro, and their group were excited: "Great! We got them!"
"I told you, as long as I dress as a girl, they'll definitely take the bait!"
Duang!
Musashi punched Kojiro, causing him to fall to the ground with a bump on his head. Musashi dragged Kojiro's leg and Meowth away together. They didn't know that Ash, after glancing at the St. Anne, said with disgust: "Psh, I thought it would be more luxurious. Come on, let's take my ship."
Ash's words made Xia and the others stunned. "Your ship?" *3
Then, under Ash's lead, the four of them left. A little girl with a sunhat saw the ticket number in Ash's hand and froze. She glanced at the ticket number in her own hand and quickly followed Ash and his companions, not forgetting to say to the Pikachu in her arms: "Pika, that's Ash! It's Ash!"
"Pika." (That's right, it's Pikachu.)
"That's great! It looks like Ash is also on the St. Anne, so let's go find Ash, Pika!"
"Pika" (Agreed)
The girl with yellow hair chased after Ash and his companions.
