After Meowth's translation, Suzie spoke to the foreman, somewhat angry: "Honestly! Couldn't you guys figure out the situation before starting construction? If a huge dam is built here, the moment it rains, the Pokémon in the forest will lose their homes, and they might even lose their lives because of it!"
"Ah? What do you know? Building a dam brings prosperity to a region!"
"Are you building it without even conducting a proper survey? The Diglett said the ground beneath this dam is very loose. If something goes wrong, it'll be a disaster for both Pokémon and humans."
"Who's gonna believe that! We've surveyed it thoroughly! It's absolutely safe!"
Just as the foreman was talking, Ash walked over, shoved him aside, and said, "Don't yell at my girlfriend. If you don't believe it, you can survey it again yourselves. Why do you think the trainers' Pokémon earlier refused to come out and battle? It's because they didn't want to disobey their trainers, but they also didn't want to fight the Diglett."
"Ash, you dropped something."
While Ash was speaking, Misty walked over and picked up a ribbon from the ground. Seeing it, Ash smiled and said, "Thanks, Misty."
"You're welcome."
However, what Misty didn't see was that Gary, Meowth, and even Pikachu all revealed expressions of absolute horror upon seeing the ribbon in her hands.
The foreman took one look at it and said, "What's that? It's just an old ribbon, why bother picking it up? Why not just throw it away?"
"We're doomed! Aaaaahhhhh!!!" x2
"Pika Pika!!!" (We're dead!!!) Things had blown way out of proportion this time!
Gary and Meowth hugged each other in terror. Pikachu and Chansey grabbed Misty, Suzie, and Ash's stupid duck, and ran. Meanwhile, Ash slowly raised his head, revealing an expression that made Meowth and Gary, who were looking at him from the front, hug each other even tighter in horror.
"Did you just... call my ribbon old? You called my ribbon old? Ah! DIE!!!"
With a swift turn and a punch, Ash sent the foreman flying. Ash then glared in the foreman's direction, his eyes glowing red. Gary and Meowth took this opportunity to yell urgently, "Take cover! Hide if you don't want to die!"
"Do not go near the Boss right now, meow!"
While the two were yelling, Ash had already begun demolition work. He released Beedrill and roared, "Bond Phenomenon!"
Accompanied by a dazzling light, Beedrill evolved into Mega Beedrill.
"Thanks, Beedrill. You can take a break now."
"Bzzzt?!" (Which bastard called the ribbon old?!)
As a Pokémon that had the honor of witnessing Ash go berserk during its Kakuna phase, Beedrill knew someone was about to be in for a world of hurt.
"Pika Pika!" (Over here!)
"Bzzzt!" (Thanks! I'll hide first!)
Knowing Ash's current state, Mega Beedrill immediately hid with Pikachu and the others. Ash, meanwhile, pulled two swords from his bag and began frantically demolishing everything.
Watching Ash go as far as using Cut and Swords Dance, Brock asked fearfully, "What's going on?"
Gary and Meowth peeked out at Ash's demolition derby, then quickly pulled their heads back and explained, "Ash is usually fine, but if a specific situation occurs, there's a chance he goes berserk."
"And that is when someone calls the gift Lara gave him old."
"Lara?"
"That's right, meow. She's someone the Boss cares about very much. He knew her even before he met you, Suzie. It's just that Lara doesn't like freeloading, so she helps the Boss watch over and grow herbs at the Laramie Village, meow."
Hearing this, Misty looked at Ash, who was currently tearing apart the dam, and asked in confusion, "But what does that have to do with Ash going berserk?"
"That ribbon was given to Ash by Lara. It was the first gift he received from a peer. So Ash cherishes it deeply. Once someone calls it old, this is the result."
At this moment, Suzie took another look outside. The dam had been completely dismantled by Ash, and at the same time, the ground beneath the dam collapsed! The Diglett were right; if the dam had become operational, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Seeing the soft, caved-in earth beneath the dam, the foreman finally understood! What Suzie had said earlier was right. If the dam had been built, a major disaster would have likely occurred.
"So it really was like this... there really was a problem."
Seeing the foreman kneeling on the ground looking agonized, Gary quickly roared, "Idiot! Ash has locked onto you! Hurry up and run!"
Hearing Gary's warning, the foreman suddenly realized Ash was charging toward him, swords in hand.
"Hack him to death!!!"
"Waaaaah!!! Help!!! Can someone stop this monster!!!"
Meowth yelled at the foreman, "It's fine! This state lasts an hour at most! You just need to survive for an hour, meow!"
"Help!!!"
In the end, this farce concluded after an hour, with the foreman having to hide underground with the help of the Diglett.

"Ah, the hot spring is nice... Looks like we can come here more often when we have time."
"Um, Ash, is it appropriate for us to monopolize such a large hot spring?"
Wrapped in a towel, Suzie felt a bit embarrassed. Misty had already buried her entire body in the hot spring, not daring to look at Ash. After all, it was just the three of them in the hot spring right now, and Ash's upper body wasn't wrapped in a towel.
"It's fine. Isn't Gary soaking in another hot spring with his girlfriends too? Besides, this is my hot spring. Enjoying a few privileges is perfectly fine." Saying that, Ash put his arms around Misty and Suzie.
"Now we just need to rest well. This is a rare time to relax."
Misty and Suzie were still a bit shy being held by Ash, but thinking about how their relationship was already established, they didn't say anything more and simply rested against his shoulders, one on each side.
Suzie: "Then let's take a little rest."
Misty: "Don't do anything weird."
On the other side, Meowth and the others were also soaking in the hot spring. Arbok was talking to Psyduck. Charmeleon kept its tail out while soaking its body in the hot water. Squirtle and Bulbasaur were playing with water. Pikachu was drinking tomato juice while soaking. Meowth was chatting with Beedrill about the slashes Ash used when he went berserk today. Kirlia was trying to get to Ash's side. Chansey planned to make a hot spring egg for Ash to eat. Primeape and Dragonite were comfortably enjoying themselves. Gary was also happily soaking with his girlfriends.
The only unlucky one was Brock, because this guy kept shouting about mixed bathing, so he got complained about by other customers and was caught and dragged to the hot spring exclusively for the Muscle Bros. Now he was happily getting his back scrubbed by a bunch of muscular bros.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have yelled so loudly. By the way, why are they all staring at my backside? Help!!!"
Well, he deserved it...
