Ash's trip to Hollywood was quite fruitful. Not only did he see many different sights, but he also mao catch Meowth, the ultimate cheat code. Ash's mother, Hanako, was delighted to wele the talkih as a new member of the family.

  Later, uhe covert prote of Team Rocket, Ash and his family boarded a cruise ship home. As Ash was leaving, two girls bid him farewell on the shore.

  "Goodbye, Ash! I'll bee the best actress!"

  "Keep in touch! When I bee a famous model, I'll definitely call you!"

  Ash also said goodbye to these two girls who were slightly older than him.

  "Big Sister Diantha, st! Big Sister Elesa, make sure to eat properly!"

  After saying goodbye, Ash turo Meowth beside him and said, "For some reason, I feel like I have some impression of them."

  "Really, meow? Boss, you just met them, meow. One is a crybaby, and the other fainted from excessive dieting. If you khem, you'd definitely remember such obvious traits, meow?"

  Hearih's analysis, Ash nodded and said, "You're right."

  As for how Ash met Elesa and Diantha, it was quite simple. Diantha wao bee an actress, so she came to take an audition.

  However, the examiner rejected her, g she was too immature, which left her g in a er. Ash ah, seeing Diantha g like a mess, decided to be good Samaritans and forted her.

  Diantha took the opportunity to pour her heart out to Ash, her younger brure.

  After hearing the reason for Diantha's reje, Ash couldn't help but ugh inwardly. Too immature?

  That's a load of nonsense! Ash then seriously asked about the requirements to bee an actress. Diantha listed a bunch of criteria, none of which had anything to do with maturity.

  Realizing this, Diantha uood that while she wao succeed through her own efforts, she didn't have to be naive. Using her family's influence, she quickly found out that the examiner wao push someone he knew into the role, which was why Diantha was rejected.

  However, the examiner didn't expect that Diantha, who seemed like an i girl, actually had a powerful background. The examiner was anonymously reported, and the audition was held again. This time, Diantha easily passed, even though the examiill cimed she was too immature.

  As for Elesa, it was even simpler. She wao bee a model, so she trolled her diet, which led to malnutrition and fainting.

  Fortunately, Ash's family and Diantha found her in time, preventing any serious sequences.

  After firming that Elesa was suffering from malnutrition, Ash specially prepared a few nutritious meals using ingredients from Nurse Joy, which eventually helped Elesa recover. Nurse Joy, with Ash's permissioed the nutritional meal pn.

  As for the recipe, Ash didn't ask for a patehis time, only requesting a sey egg iurn.

  The Joy family readily agreed to Ash's dition. Although sey was almost monopolized by the Joy family, Ash was sidered one of their own in a way, so it wasn't a problem.

  After learning that Ash and his family had saved her, Elesa wao cover their travel expenses as a token of gratitude, but Ash refused, as his inal iion was simply to help.

  Later, Ash, wanting to go the extra mile, wrote down some nutritional meal pns for Elesa to prevent her from suffering from malnutrition again.

  In short, Ash's medical and nutritional knowledge from his past life didn't go to waste!

  After spending a few days together, Ash's family, Diantha, and Elesa finally had to part ways, but they had already exged taformation, so they would stay in touch.

  Watg the cruise ship carrying Ash sail further away, Elesa lowered her hand.

  "It's se. Even though I'm older than Ash, I always feel like he's the oaking care of me."

  Hearing this, Diantha couldn't help but say, "That's not a feeling; it's the truth. You were so malnourished that Ash had to feed you."

  Blushing at Diantha's remark, Elesa retorted, "Well, that's still better than being a crybaby who needed Ash's fort to realize there roblem!"

  "You! How did you know that?!"

  "Meowth told me."

  "Ugh! ime, I'm definitely going to give Meowth a beating!"

  Just as Diantha decided to give Meowth a beating, Meowth, who was eating snacks with Pikachu on the cruise ship, suddenly shivered.

  "What's wrong, Meowth?"

  "I don't know, meow. I just have a bad feeling, meow..."

  Seeih's rea, Ash thought for a moment and said, "That might actually be true. Professor Samuel Oak will probably be very excited to see you."

  Thinking about how the research-obsessed Professor Samuel Oak would react upon seeih, Ash silently mourned for Meowth.

  He then handed Meowth some more dried fish and said, "Here, Meowth, eat up. Once we get back, Professor Samuel Oak will probably keep you busy for a long time."
