"Ash! What is this!"

  Elesa's scream made Ash's ears hurt, but thinking about what he was about to say, Ash still walked out of the tent, while Meowth thoughtfully held up an umbrel for him with a mae.

  "Thank you, Meowth. Elesa, what are you talking about?"

  "What does this tial Hotel stock certificate mean?! Do you know how much just one pert of the shares is worth? And you gave me five pert?!"

  Elesa's female agent beside her couldn't help but twitch her eyelids. The tial Hotel was a hotel that opur in all regions, and it had even more affiliated hotels. Most importantly, the shares of the tial Hotel were all mixed up with big families. It was said that the Oak family, which was ected to Legendary Pokémon in the Kantion, had shares, the Pokémon League also had shares, and there were two mysterious batches of shares whose owners were unknown. Now it seemed that the owner should be Ash, the one her young dy was calling.

  That's right, Elesa was also from a family, and she was from the Striaton family of Striaton City. And Elesa's agent was actually someohe Striaton family specifically sent to take care of her.

  "Ash, expin clearly, what do you mean? If you've gone crazy, I'll help you get a doctor, and the electrotherapy here is really good." Now Elesa really didn't dare to joke anymore. Although this wealth was iempting, Elesa was more worried about whether Ash's mental state was unstable.

  Ash, looking at the rainy forest, said, "Nothing's wrong, I'm perfectly normal. But sis, we've known each other for so long, you should know I'm ly a good person, so I'm going to start pressuring you now."

  "Hey, what do you mean by that?" Elesa was a bit fused by Ash's words, but the manager beside her seemed to have guessed something. So she secretly started tag the Striaton family.

  "There's a small box in the package, right? The ohat looks very simple and inspicuous."

  When Elesa heard Ash say this, she really did noti inspicuous small box.

  "I see it, is this a oy Meowth made?"

  If you say that, Meowth will cry. Fet it, you'll uand when you open it.

  "Mysterious… Hah!"

  Elesa was still puzzled, but when she saw what was ihe small box, she eechless. It was a diam.

  "You…"

  "I told you I'm the type who falls in love over time, right? So, you put it on?"

  Elesa looked at the diam and suddenly smiled, but as she smiled, tears began to fall.

  "So you knew all along, you were just pretending to be clueless!"

  Hearing Elesa say this, Ash helplessly expined, "I had no choice. Before, I wasn't an adult, so I couldn't say muake any promises. Now that I'm an adult, of course, I had to make a move. After all, I'm really afraid of someone else stealing you away."

  Hearing this, Elesa rubbed her slightly reddened eyes and said, "Smooth talker. Tell me, does Diantha have ooo?"

  "Exactly."

  "Won't you even try to deceive me?"

  "I don't want to. Lying about something like that would make me a real sdrel."

  After putting the diam on her finger and calming herself, Elesa said, "What about Daisy Oak? And the Jenny and Joy families?"

  "I've already sent it to Daisy Oak, and I've also informed the Joy and Jenny families. We'll wait until they choose the right people."

  Looking at the diam on her left middle finger, Elesa couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get such a rge diamond?"

  "Don't mention it. I spent nearly a year Steven's Pokémon just to get him to help me create a suitable meal pn for his Pokémon. you imagine how difficult it was for me ah to unicate with those Rod Steel types? I even had to sult stists to identify substances beneficial to them!"

  "That expins why I kept hearing knog sounds from your pce that year."

  "So, Elesa, you better take good care of it. I had it ade. Of course, if you lose it, I'll just order another one."

  "I won't lose it! I really don't know if you're smart or foolish. I'll let my family know." Gng at her manager, who was holding a unicator towards her, Elesa added, "Well, they already know. Once everything is settled, I'll annouhe news." At this point, Elesa was still a bit nervous, as she wasn't sure if the annou would affect Ash.

  Ash's response reassured her.

  "Sure, it's nothing that o be hidden."

  "I get it, it's all your fault, now I 't sleep at all!"

  "I apologize, the some rest early, good night."

  "Good night."

  Seeing Ash end the call, Meowth couldn't help but ask, "Boss, does that t as a proposal?"

  "Yeah, what else could it be?"

  "I still want to learn how to fess, Meow, so I go find my Madonna Meow."

  "Why don't you just bring a specially made delicious grilled fish from me?"

  "Boss, your method is sh, Meow."

  "I'm not a Pokémon, how would I know your proposal methods?!"

  "Pika pika!"

  At that moment, Pikachu walked out with three cups of hot milk. Ash took one and said, "Thanks, let's watch together. Holy, I really like this kind of sery, it's beautiful."

  Then Ash, Meowth, and Pikachu, three guys, watched the rainy sery while drinking hot milk, uedly feeling a sense of satisfa.
