"Oh? Alright, I understand. Don't worry, I won't let them succeed. I need you to personally bring that can of yours, yes, only you can take it. Alright, see you later."
After finishing the call, Ash felt very relieved. Why? Because Elesa was coming. After all, they were already engaged, so of course, he would be happy to see her. Seeing Ash's relieved smile, Lorelei showed a 'kind' smile.
"Ara ara, you seem so happy. Must be something good, right? Can you tell me about it?"
Being looked at so 'kindly' by Lorelei, Ash slightly leaned towards the Chansey beside him and said, "It's nothing, just that Elesa is coming."
"Oh, I see, that's why~" Lorelei's eyes became increasingly 'kind,' and Ash raised Ralts and said, "Ralts, protect me..."
"Ralts!"
Ralts really stepped up and stretched out its arms to block Lorelei. Seeing Ralts like this, Lorelei couldn't help but laugh, then said, "Alright, I won't scare you anymore. Since your fiancée is coming, you should prepare well."
"Fiancée?!" *2
Looking at the surprised Brock and Misty, Giselle patted Ash's shoulder and said, "Don't look at him like that. Actually, he has many fiancées, even including Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy."
"No way!" *2
Seeing the shocked Brock and Misty, Giselle asked Ash, "Is it okay?"
"Sure, I don't mind."
"Alright, then let me tell you about the identity of this guy you've been traveling with! Standing before you is the founder and largest shareholder of Continental Hotel, and the creator of the Starlight Series Potions! Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!"
"What! The creator of the Starlight Series Potions?! Ash! So you're this great!"
Hearing that Ash was the creator of the Starlight Series Potions, Brock immediately grabbed Ash's hand, while Misty asked curiously, "The Starlight Series Potions, is that the series divided into Normal, Medium, and High levels?"
"Exactly! Misty, you're not a Breeder, so you don't know. For every Breeder, the Starlight Series Potions are something you must know about because they can perfectly help Pokémon heal injuries. And for ordinary people, one bottle of Normal Starlight Potion is enough for a while!"
"What about the Medium and High levels?"
"Let me explain. Medium Potions are specifically used to treat hidden injuries in some Pokémon or people, so they're much more expensive. As for High Potions, they're used to treat near-death conditions. Well, actually, they're made using some local specialties as ingredients, so to ensure sufficient resources, the Joy family even hired people to specifically grow medicinal herbs. But High Potions are usually bought and saved for the most critical moments, since High Revives and Full Restores, while effective, are quite expensive."
"Tch, I'm telling you, this guy is just a money-grubbing miser. With these discoveries, all he thinks about is making money!"
Ash patted Giselle's head and said, "You little princesses wouldn't understand. Without money, nothing is possible! I have to provide for my family..."
"..." *3
"Alright, after visiting the principal, I should get going. I still need to win a badge in Vermilion City."
"Honestly, I'll guide you, you money-grubber." As soon as Ash mentioned going to see her grandfather, Misty volunteered to lead the way, while Lorelei was also about to leave.
"Then I should get going too. Although I'd love to travel with you, Ash, the duties of an Elite Four member are quite demanding."
"Wait a moment, Lorelei, come with me."
"What is it?" Although puzzled by what Ash could want, Lorelei still followed him, while Misty puffed up her cheeks in frustration.
"Money-grubber! Pervert!"
Seeing Giselle like this, May couldn't help but ask, "Giselle, you're not... in love with Ash, are you?"
"What!? Me? In love with a money-grubber? Don't be ridiculous! How could I like that money-grubber with so many fiancées!"
Seeing Giselle's reaction, Brock couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness.
"Damn Ash, that lucky guy! Why don't any girls like me?"
Meanwhile, Ash and Lorelei arrived at a quiet corner, and Lorelei asked, "What's the matter? Why so secretive?"
Ash took off his backpack, rummaged through it, and pulled out a jar of Rare Candy, handing it to Lorelei. "Take this. Since you're my fiancée now, this is the standard."
"...You, be careful not to be deceived in the future..." Looking at the jar of Rare Candy, Lorelei knew that any words would be futile at this point.
"Ah, at least I have some judgment in this regard. You are worth it."
After saying that, Ash waved his hand. "Then I'll be off. Pidgeot, use Gust to blow away the peeping Toms."
"Pidgeot!"
As Pidgeot flapped its wings wildly, a huge whirlwind instantly blew away the spying Team Rocket.
Jessie: "Is it really necessary to blow us away just for giving candy!?"
Meowth: "Meow! I told you not to peek, meow!"
James, however, held a rose and said, "But what a beautiful love story. It's so sweet that the token of love between lovers is candy."
"What a horrible feeling~" *3
