Ash still didn't know he was being targeted, but he didn't care. Even without these incidents, he would inevitably have dealings with Team Rocket in the future.
However, the events also made Ash realize that the changes in this world were different. It wasn't just his memories that could be completely controlled.
But it wasn't a big deal for Ash anymore. He should have been mentally prepared. At least this way, he was truly living in another world, not just a part of an anime.
After escaping, Ash, Brock, and Misty headed out of the amusement park. After walking for a long time, they finally got out of the forest and saw a city.
"We finally made it out! It's by the sea!!"
Looking at the scenery in front of them, Misty excitedly exclaimed. From the St. Anne to this Pokémon amusement park, it was truly thrilling. Now, seeing this seaside city in front of them made them instantly excited. Their tense emotions could finally relax.
"Finally, we can stop and catch our breath." Brock was the same. Although he was a Gym Leader himself, he had always stayed at Pewter City. He had never experienced so many things.
During this time traveling with Ash, he had already experienced so many amazing things.
"Let's go!!" Ash also cheered up and gestured to the two.
The three walked towards the city. The city in front of them was called Vermilion City, known as a leisure city. It was also the original destination of the St. Anne. Compared to a cosmopolitan city like Vermilion City.
Combining travel and trade, Vermilion City was a city completely focused on tourism and leisure.
People came to this city only for leisure and relaxation, far from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, so this city didn't even have a Gym.
Because of what happened to the St. Anne, the group only arrived now.
Although they were very tired and wanted to relax quickly, Ash and the other two still went to the Pokémon Center first. After all, they had just experienced so many things.
Since the shipwreck, the Pokémon had not received proper care, so they wanted to let the Pokémon recover first.
Arriving at the Pokémon Center, the automatic doors opened. As the three walked in, still chatting, a figure suddenly rushed up and directly hugged Ash.
"Wuwuwuwu!!"
Ash didn't react and almost choked. Misty and Brock beside him were also startled. Looking closely, they realized it was a mature beauty.
"Ash! You're alright, that's great! You naughty boy, you scared your mom to death!"
"Ugh… Mom, let go of me first!!"
Ash was a little out of breath and was also a little surprised to see who it was. The person who came was Delia, his mother. Hearing this, Delia also let go and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"Long time no see, Ash!" At this moment, a voice also came from beside them. Everyone looked over and saw Professor Oak standing not far behind them, wearing a casual shirt.
"Mom! Professor! Why are you here?"
"It's all because of you, kid. The police in Vermilion City contacted Professor Oak and said that the ship you took out to sea sank, and they couldn't find you. Do you know how worried Mom was?" Delia said, wiping the corners of her eyes and responding worriedly.
"Ah?? That! We're fine!"
Ash was also slightly stunned upon hearing this. He didn't expect them to already know about this. To be honest, if they didn't know, Ash hadn't planned to tell them. He knew his mom would be very worried if she knew.
"We thought that if you were alright, following the route, you might go to Vermilion City, so we came here to investigate your situation!" Professor Oak also spoke.
"I'm sorry for making you worry!" Ash responded with emotion upon hearing this.
"Haha! It's good that you're alright. It's normal to encounter such situations when traveling. Oh, by the way, not only us, but Gary is also here!" Professor Oak smiled, relieved that Ash was fine.
Although it was indeed very dangerous, seeing Ash and the others safe and sound showed that they had trained well during this time outside.
"Gary? Where is he??"
"That! Who knows where he ran off to, but Ash, I can tell Gary was very worried about you." Professor Oak also said meaningfully.
He understood his grandson. Although he said he was taking his girlfriend on vacation, he knew in his heart that Gary didn't need to pass through here at all, and there was no Gym here.
At that time, Gary was just transferring Pokémon. When the grandfather and grandson were chatting, Professor Oak mentioned Ash's situation, and Gary's expression was a little off at the time.
"I know!" Ash also understood that although Gary was outwardly tsundere, he wasn't bad at heart.
He still remembered that during summer camp when he was a child, Gary was the first to discover that he was not in the team.
But usually, they were also rivals, so naturally, they wouldn't say things like "I care about you, you care about me." Hearing Ash's words, Professor Oak also nodded with relief.
Next, Professor Oak and Delia first handed Ash and the other two's Pokémon to Nurse Joy, then found a place to sit down and explained what happened on the St. Anne to the two.
"I can't believe so many things happened! It was really dangerous!" Hearing Ash and the others' account, Professor Oak was also a little surprised.
And Delia was worried. Although Ash tried his best to make it not so scary, she was still Ash's mother, and even a small matter would make her worry.
"You naughty child, you're still so careless even after becoming a trainer. Thanks to Misty and Brock, our Ash has caused you trouble."
Although throughout the entire incident, Ash was basically the one who performed the best, but he was still a mom's child! Believe that any child knows that no matter how proud she is in her heart, she won't show it to others.
PS: Writing here reminds me of the meme that Ash is Professor Oak's illegitimate child. I didn't think much about it before, but now watching the anime, the screen is full of comments like "Ash's dad be strong."
But it seems not only Pokémon, various anime series are like this, for example, Dragon Ball Super too. Android 17 and 18 are siblings, and they are also just brushing "Krillin green." I don't understand, is this meme that interesting?
