"Gardevoir Meowth, could you ask this woman what's going on? Her tears are genuine.)"
Suddenly hearing Gardevoir say that, Meowth was taken aback, but then he laughed and nodded, turning to the assistant and asking, "So how did you become the assistant to that shameless person, Meowth?"
The assistant was surprised by the question. After wiping her eyes, she explained, "Actually, I come from a family of circus performers, but even with a circus family, it's still difficult to succeed without connections. I wanted to prove myself without relying on my family, so I snuck out. Then…"
"Then you were deceived by that Ma Jian?" After hearing this, Ash Ketchum understood; Ma Jian had taken advantage of her inexperience to trick her into being his assistant. The assistant nodded, confirming Ash Ketchum's theory.
"That's right; looking back, I was so stupid…"
"You were pretty stupid; you were eager to leave your family's protection and make it on your own before your wings had even grown. I don't know if you're bold or just dense. You should be glad that Ma Jian didn't think to have Exeggcute use Hypnosis on you; otherwise, you'd probably have kids by now."
"…" *5
Pikachu, Meowth, Gardevoir, and Chansey didn't know what to say to Ash Ketchum. He didn't need to be so direct…
Hearing Ash Ketchum's words, the assistant gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "That's true…"
"Still, you're amazing for stepping out of your family's protection and going your own way. Someone who has such thoughts is bound to be successful in the future. Of course, it would be better if you were a bit smarter. Anyway, let me introduce myself; I'm Ash Ketchum." Ash Ketchum extended his hand, and the assistant, surprised that Ash Ketchum would give her a positive evaluation, responded, "Thank you; I'm Aiden."
After a polite handshake, Ash Ketchum suddenly asked Aiden, "You said you came from a family of circus performers? Do you mind helping me out with something?"
"Huh?"
---Line Break---
"Welcome to the Continental Performance Troupe! Thank you all for coming! I'm your host for tonight! We'll be putting on the best show for all of you! Without further ado, let's get started!"
"Oooooo!!!" *N
Accompanied by the audience's cheers, a series of magnificent performances began. Misty, Suzy, Lyn, and Brock, who had changed into their outfits and were sitting in the VIP seats, watched the lavish show.
"Ash Ketchum has a performance troupe?"
Misty was surprised by Ash Ketchum's skill. After they changed into their costumes, they were brought to the VIP seats. Lyn, wearing a unique Grassland outfit, said with a smile, "He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. I think he's getting ready for the performance right now."
"Huh? Ash Ketchum is performing too?"
Misty was surprised by Lyn's words, and Suzy said, "I think Ash Ketchum should have called them over here?"
"Them?" *2
While Misty and Brock were confused about who the "them" were, Ash Ketchum was backstage preparing for the performance. Well, more accurately, he was helping out.
"Whismur!"
A Whismur was pulling at Ash Ketchum's pants, pointing at the juicer near him. Next to her were small bowls filled with all kinds of Berries.
"Huh? Do you want to mix all of these? The flavors might clash."
Crouching down, Ash Ketchum looked at the Berries Whismur had chosen. Taking one, he said, "Look, this is Pidgeot's favorite bitter Berry. Are you sure you want to add it?"
"Whismur?"
Whismur looked at the bitter Berry in Ash Ketchum's hand and opened her mouth. Ash Ketchum put the Berry near her mouth, and Whismur took a big bite, and her face turned blue.
"Whismur!!!!"
Seeing Whismur's face turn blue from the bitterness, Ash Ketchum laughed and fed her a Miltank Milk Candy. The sweet flavor instantly covered the bitter taste, and Whismur's face brightened.
"So next time, you need to find the ones you like before just throwing them in."
"Whismur…"
Whismur nodded, still scared from that bitter taste.
Drip, drip.
Hearing the sound of saliva, Ash Ketchum knew it was his Pidgeot. Bitter Berries were his favorite.
"Just wait a bit, Pidgeot. I'll make juice for you, I specially learned it from the Oranguru in the Alola Region."
"Pidgeot!!!"
Hearing Ash Ketchum say this, Pidgeot was excited. Meanwhile, Squirtle, drinking freshly squeezed orange juice with Beedrill honey, said to Bulbasaur next to him, "Squirtle (I really don't understand Pidgeot's taste…)"
"Bulbasaur It's not like I understand either…)"
"Houndoom! I understand even less why you like sweet things, spicy is the way to go!"
Houndoom took a satisfied sip of his Spicy Drink, then rolled his eyes at Squirtle and Bulbasaur. Soon other Pokémon piled in with similar remarks.
Your taste is even stranger! *N
