Chapter 353: Twinleaf Town, the former Grand Festival Champion

In the forest path heading to Verdanturf Town.

"Jigglypuff, keep using Disarming Voice."

"Boli~"

As usual, Ash was conducting special training for his Pokemon. The main focus this time was Jigglypuff, while the other Pokemon were left to roam, challenging wild Pokemon in the forest.

The special training for Jigglypuff was primarily to prepare for the upcoming Verdanturf Contest.

May was also preparing, though she hadn’t decided who to send out yet.

Peaceful and easy times are always short-lived.

Unexpectedly, trouble arose.

"Combusken~"

"Combusken!"

Ash’s and May’s Combusken were face-to-face, bickering.

Looking at the situation, it seemed these two guys had chosen opponents too close to each other while fighting in the wild, and in the process, their moves missed and stole each other’s targets...

Fire-type Pokemon generally have hot tempers. Before they could exchange many words, they engaged in physical conflict. It wasn’t until Ash and May intervened that the grudge was settled.

However, both guys were quite injured. When Ash was treating them, he discovered something not so good: "May, your Combusken’s training intensity is a bit too high; its muscles are stiff. You need to soothe them as soon as possible, or it won’t be good if hidden injuries are left behind."

May heard this and said anxiously: "Then let’s hurry to the Pokémon Center!"

Brock checked the Pokemon Navigator and said, "The closest place to here is a small town called Twinleaf Town. Let’s go there and find Nurse Nurse Joy."

"Okay!"

Having decided on the new destination, the group set off.

Ash’s Pokemon were all in good condition; they would help each other soothe their muscles after daily training, but May’s didn’t have this routine.

Fortunately, Twinleaf Town wasn’t far, and after walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the town.

Upon arrival, the group asked several passersby before confirming that there was no Pokémon Center in Twinleaf Town.

Just as they were disappointed, they learned from a passerby that Twinleaf Town had a Pokemon clinic that was no less effective than a Pokémon Center.

Guided by the passerby, the group arrived outside the clinic.

As soon as they arrived, they saw several Trainers walking out with smiles, holding their Pokemon.

"There must be a beauty in this place!"

Brock rushed in excitedly: "Excuse me, is there a doctor here?"

"Brock, this guy really is..."

Ash and May were speechless.

But it had to be said, Brock’s intuition was very accurate. After entering the clinic, they saw a beautiful young lady with twin tails.

The young lady looked at them and said: "Sorry to keep you waiting! Hello, I am the clinic doctor, Ayako. Is there something I can help you with?"

"Ms. Ayako, your beauty..."

Whoosh!

Before Brock could finish speaking, he was teleported outside by Jirachi.

May released her Combusken and explained: "Ms. Ayako, it’s like this..."

"Let me see..." After hearing May’s description, Ayako carefully examined Combusken: "Excessive fatigue, stiff muscles... these aren’t big problems, just some massage and soothing will do!"

"Really?" May looked happy.

"Yes, Combusken, come over here."

Ayako signaled for Combusken to lie on a medical bed, then reached out and pressed on certain acupoints on its back. Combusken also showed a look of enjoyment.

As if noticing May’s confusion, Ayako explained on her own: "Our clinic uses an acupoint stimulation treatment method..."

"Acupoint stimulation? What an amazing treatment method!" May exclaimed.

"This method is indeed very amazing, and the learning threshold is low. May, you should carefully watch Ms. Ayako’s technique..." Ash reminded her.

Massaging Pokemon to soothe stiff muscles is something most top Trainers know. The most representative one is naturally the Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia, whose method of massaging her Garchomp’s back muscles is incorporated into her daily life.

"Oh, you seem to know quite a lot about this!"

Ayako couldn’t help but take another look at Ash.

"I just occasionally relax my own Pokemon, so I know a little bit about this knowledge," Ash said.

"Is that so? If you are willing to learn, I can teach you!" Ayako was quite generous.

Just like that, Ms. Ayako used May’s Combusken to give the three of them a lesson on acupoint massage.

Suddenly, Brock saw a photo on a table not far away: "Eh? Ms. Ayako, do you also have a Skitty?"

But after Brock looked closely, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "This... this is the Grand Festival Champion’s trophy?!"

After seeing the photo, May also looked surprised: "Ah, could it be that you are the legendary Coordinator, Ayako!"

Ayako smiled: "That’s all in the past."

"By the way, Ms. Ayako, can I see your Skitty?"

May said, releasing her own Skitty.

"Oh, May, you also have a Skitty? As expected, Skitty is the cutest!"

Ayako picked up May’s Skitty with some excitement.

"May, I’m sorry, my Skitty has already evolved into a Delcatty."

"Delcatty? Skitty’s evolved form? I want to see it!" May was even more excited.

Under May’s burning gaze, Ayako called her Delcatty, Johnny, over.

"Wow, it feels so cool!"

May happily petted Ayako’s Delcatty.

"Ms. Ayako, since your Skitty evolved into a Delcatty, why didn’t you continue to participate in the Grand Festival later? Such a great Pokemon like Delcatty, it’s a pity it didn’t get to step on the Grand Festival stage!" May asked in confusion.

"Well... I did win the championship at the Grand Festival, but I set off on a journey to understand Pokemon better. However, one day I accepted someone’s challenge using Skitty. I thought I could win easily, but the truth was I didn’t even have room to fight back. At that time, I understood how big the gap was between a Coordinator and a traditional Trainer. But it was that battle that allowed me to find a new direction as a Pokemon doctor. That was when I met the original owner of this clinic, Dr. Masuda. All the skills I possess now were taught by Mr. Masuda, and even the Moon Stone needed for Skitty to evolve into Delcatty was gifted by him."

After listening to Ayako’s explanation, May hesitated: "But isn’t that a pity?"

Ayako smiled, shook her head and said: "Not at all. I believe this is the best arrangement by fate. And as a Pokemon doctor, while interacting with Pokemon, I can also learn more about things related to Pokemon."

"By the way, May, you are going to participate in the Verdanturf Contest, right?"

"Yes!"

"Your Skitty is very good. If you don’t mind me nagging, let me teach you some techniques for Skitty."

Hearing this, May was overjoyed: "Really?"

Thus, Ayako became May’s temporary teacher, specifically guiding May on how to use Skitty in the Grand Festival.

From the first screening round to the second screening round, Ayako taught May almost all of her best moves, as if she hoped May would use them to make up for their regrets on the Grand Festival stage.
