"Rebecca?"
"Daddy, please stop being obsessed with battling. Come home, okay?"
The large man was currently standing there with a conflicted look, blocked by his own daughter. Meanwhile, Ash and his group were just eating melons (enjoying the drama). Eating a piece of candy, Ash said, "See? I told you he was definitely the family-neglecting type. I totally nailed it."
Misty's eye twitched slightly as she looked at the candy Ash was eating, and she couldn't help but ask, "Ash, is your candy by any chance..."
"Yeah, just made them recently. Do you guys want some?"
"You should probably just save them for the Pokémon." Misty and Brock now completely understood why Ash could eat Rare Candies like regular sweets. Ash could literally make them on a whim!
Suzie, however, accepted a candy from Ash, popped it into her mouth, and said while eating, "Has the flavor improved again?"
"Yeah, I specifically made a bunch of different flavors." While talking, Ash popped a Rare Candy into Meowth and Primeape's mouths, and then continued watching the drama unfold.
"Anyway, I'm not going home until I win the championship at the P1 Grand Prix!"
After saying this, the large man named Anthony left to treat Hitmonchan's injuries. Although Hitmonchan was defeated, discovering the hidden injuries was a good thing; getting them treated quickly was the right move.
Watching Anthony take Hitmonchan away for treatment, Ash, who was massaging his stupid duck's head, said, "At least he has some conscience left, knowing to treat his Hitmonchan's hidden injuries." And just as Ash was massaging the duck's head, Rebecca walked over.
"Um..."
Before Rebecca could even finish her sentence, Brock warped in front of her and said, "Yes! Is there anything you need, Miss?"
Watching Brock instantly rush over to fawn over Rebecca, the corners of Ash, Misty, and Suzie's mouths twitched, but they didn't say anything. They just let Brock handle the conversation.
"I'm sorry, my father has caused you all so much trouble..."
"No problem at all! Not a problem in the slightest!"
Looking at the horn-dogged Brock, Ash felt that having him taken to the Fitness Paradise earlier was absolutely the right choice. Otherwise, this guy would probably cause him a mountain of trouble.
And just as Ash was thinking about sending Brock to the Fitness Paradise again next time, Rebecca also explained her family's situation. To put it bluntly, her father, Anthony, had been training deep in the mountains to make Hitmonchan win the P1 Grand Prix and hadn't been coming home at all. As his daughter, Rebecca was very worried.
"If possible, could I ask you to defeat my father's Hitmonchan at the P1 Grand Prix? I think if he is defeated in the tournament, he should be willing to come home, right?"
Rebecca had witnessed the performance of Ash's Primeape earlier. In her view, as long as Ash's Primeape entered the arena, her father would pretty much be forced to face reality.
However, before Ash—who Rebecca had placed high hopes on—could even speak, Brock jumped in and beat him to it: "Leave this matter to me! We will defeat your father!"
Seeing Brock making such absolute promises, Suzie, holding Vulpix, couldn't help but ask, "Brock, don't you only have Rock-type Pokémon and Zubat?"
"It's fine, my Geodude can enter. Plus, Ash's Primeape is also very suited for a fighting tournament!"
Looking at Brock, Ash shrugged his shoulders and then turned to Primeape, asking, "How about it? Wanna go pick a fight? How'd you like to wear a gold belt?"
"Roar!" (Of course!)
Seeing that Primeape also wanted to go pick a fight, Ash agreed to Rebecca's request. After all, knocking some sense into that family-neglecting Anthony wouldn't be a bad thing.
Meanwhile, the Team Rocket trio had also set their sights on the P1 Grand Prix gold belt, because their funds had run out...
"Jessie, I told you not to buy so many luxury goods! Look, now excluding the money for the mecha, we can't afford to eat again..." Looking at his flat wallet, James was somewhat helpless. However, Jessie confidently said, "It doesn't matter, as long as we win the gold belt at the P1 Grand Prix, we'll be fine!"
"But we don't even have any Fighting-type Pokémon, meow!"
As soon as Meowth finished speaking, he found Jessie staring at him. Meowth immediately hugged his own body and said, "Stop joking! Are you going to make me fight, meow?!"
"I'm not that stupid. Look over there!"
"Hmm?"
James and Meowth looked in the direction Jessie was pointing and found a tall guy with a Hitmonlee.
"That's a Hitmonlee. We just need to snatch it..."
Saying this, the Team Rocket trio let out evil smiles.
