The next day, when Ash woke up feeling somewhat dazed, he realized that what he was holding didn't seem to be Ralts or Pikachu Meowth. Looking down, he saw Elesa still sound asleep, and the memories of the previous night instantly came back to him.

"Ah, that's right, I've truly got Elesa now."

"Yeah, this time I've really been devoured completely," Elesa, lying in Ash's arms, also opened her eyes and then snuggled a bit closer to him.

"Mom probably has already prepared some nourishing food. You rest here, I'll make a call."

"Okay."

"Hey, is my mom cooking? It's already done? Alright then, please let my companions know I'll be out later, yeah, that's it."

Watching Ash hang up the phone, Elesa couldn't help but ask, "Couldn't you just go by yourself?"

"No! I absolutely cannot leave your side right now, at least not now!" As Ash said this, a unique aura emanated from him, the aura of a protective husband!

When Delia came in with a bowl of chicken soup, she saw Ash and Elesa already dressed. Delia then smiled and said, "Really, don't be shy at a time like this. Don't you know you need to spend more time with her now?"

Ash looked at his mom and couldn't help but say, "Mom, I helped her get dressed..."

"Oh! Is that so?" Delia, hearing Ash say this and seeing Elesa's blushing face, immediately understood that her son was telling the truth and said, "That's more like it. Alright, now I want to have a good chat with my daughter-in-law, you can go out!"

"You just said you'd spend more time with her, but Mom, is the taste of your soup okay? Do you need me to add some more ingredients? Did you use the best materials? Let me try it first?"

"You don't trust your mom's cooking? Alright, hurry up and go outside!" With that, Ash was pushed out by his mother, Delia, and outside, Meowth was wearing a strange grin.

"Boss Meow, you seemed to have a good time last night, Meow."

"Pika Pika!" (Ash has finally grown up.)

"Lucky." (Did Ash's dad find me a mom?)

"Ralts!" (Why didn't you wait for me to evolve?!)

"That's right, last night was great! Now that I've truly grown up, there are things I need to take responsibility for, and that's the responsibility for my family. That's right! It's about time I got serious, after all, I must protect them." As he muttered this, Ash's body began to emit an overwhelmingly terrifying aura, causing Professor Samuel Oak and the others who were secretly observing to gulp nervously.

"Ash right now is a bit scary…" Professor Samuel Oak shuddered as he watched Ash, who had clearly entered some kind of terrifying state. Meanwhile, Gary Oak said, "Ash has gotten stronger again? But no, something's off about him in this state..." Although he didn't know what was going on, Gary knew that if he provoked Ash now, he'd definitely get beaten to a pulp.

Misty and the others didn't say much, just feeling a bit embarrassed. Cynthia already knew what Elesa had done last night, so she was just a bit surprised that Ash had ended up in such a state.

The only one who was quite clueless and innocent, Yellow, just looked at Ash and said, "Ash brother feels very strange now, but for some reason, it's really comforting..."

Since Elesa's current physical condition wasn't suitable for moving, the group, who originally planned to set off immediately, had no choice but to let Elesa rest first. Meanwhile, Giselle took this opportunity to say, "Ash, I need to go back home for a while, so I won't be able to accompany you on the rest of the journey."

"Oh? Do you need me to send a private plane for you?" Although it was a bit strange, Ash didn't ask for the reason. Giselle, hearing Ash's offer, thought about the urgent matters at home and nodded, saying, "If it's not too much trouble, that would be great. It seems like there's something urgent at home, and they want me to return to Sinnoh."

"Returning to Sinnoh? That means we're heading the same way," Cynthia said, as she also needed to return to Sinnoh to deliver the Rare Candy to her grandmother and discuss engagement plans.

"In that case, wait for my boat at the small dock later. It can take you to the airport, and then the private plane will take you directly to Sinnoh. How does that sound?" After confirming that Cynthia and Giselle were heading to Sinnoh, Ash laid out the plan, to which both Cynthia and Giselle agreed.

"Sure, thank you, Ash."

"Thanks, you money-minded guy."

Finally, Ash turned to his mother Delia, Daisy Oak, and Professor Samuel Oak, saying, "Mom, Daisy, Professor Oak, you can also take our boat back later. It'll save time and effort."

"Really? Thank you, Ash."

After resting for a while, Ash and his group headed to the dock to wait for Ash's boat. While waiting, Misty noticed an injured Horsea, which was constantly calling out as if trying to say something.

"Meowth, what is Horsea saying?"

This is where having Meowth as a translator came in handy. After listening for a while, Meowth said, "He says Tentacool and Tentacruel seem to be planning to attack this place."

"Huh?"

Hearing the word "attack," Ash instantly moved in front of everyone in a protective stance, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Horsea, can we talk?"
