"Welcome, everyone, to the Beauty Street Beauty War Contest! I bet you all can't wait to get started!"
"That's right! *N"
Team Rocket's trio stared blankly at the current situation. Right after they agreed to Ash's challenge, a group of people suddenly appeared, picked them up, and started carrying them around. Soon after, they found themselves dragged into the competition arena, with Ash waiting for them on the opposite side.
"The rules of the contest are simple: use your own signature methods to make the Pokémon look beautiful. You can use any materials you want."
Jessie and James touched the preparations made for them. Once they touched the prepared materials, they couldn't let go.
Jessie: "This texture!"
James: "It's exactly the fabric we've been dreaming of."
Ash couldn't help but say as he looked at the two of them: "You guys really know your stuff, huh? That's right—these are the top-tier, genuine materials!"
"Kid! Let us show you what we're made of!"
"That's right—this is our showtime!"
Then, Jessie and James began to dress up Ekans and Koffing with those high-quality materials, while Ash turned his attention to his own Pokémon—the silly duck, Psyduck.
"Meowth, you're in charge of making one portion, and I'll take care of massaging Psyduck's head. Sigh..."
"Leave Psyduck's massage to me. Ash, you just focus on what you're best at—the medicinal cuisine." Just as Ash was helplessly watching Psyduck, Suzy walked over and started massaging Psyduck's head. Ash then asked Suzy: "Your body..."
"It's alright, Ash. The medicine you gave me before has already helped me recover. What was really bothering me was my mental state. But now I'm fine. Besides, I really want to work together with Ash again to help Pokémon."
Looking at Suzy, Ash smiled and said: "Alright. Then I'll leave the massage to you, and I'll take care of this dumb duck's medicinal cuisine."
Psyduck looked at Ash strangely, not quite understanding what he meant. Ash, meanwhile, patted its head and said: "You're in for a treat."
Then Ash clapped his hands, and pots, pans, bowls, and dishes appeared.
"Team Rocket, what I excel at is creating food—food that makes Pokémon feel genuinely happy after eating it!"
With a nervous expression on his face, Ash started cooking while skillfully twirling his knife, while Suzy began massaging based on her previous observations of Psyduck. Meowth, meanwhile, started sewing.
Soon, both sides finished their preparations. Team Rocket's Ekans and Koffing were dressed in flashy outfits, while Ash's Psyduck happily ate the fish stew Ash made for him, wearing clothes.
Then, as the audience voted, Ash and Team Rocket were evenly matched. After all, while Team Rocket's costumes were flashy, some people still liked them, and the beauty of Ash's Psyduck's happiness also attracted many.
"I didn't expect it to be evenly matched."
Ash was somewhat surprised by the evenly matched result, while Suzy smiled and said: "It's okay, Ash. After all, everyone's aesthetic standards are different. It's normal to have such an outcome. But what truly makes us happy is the time we spend taking care of Pokémon together, isn't it?"
"Ah, that's right. Taking care of Pokémon is a joyful thing in itself, even if it's my silly, carefree duck."
Watching Psyduck happily eating the stewed fish, Ash just smiled. However, Ash accepting this outcome didn't mean Jessie would. She glared at Ash's Psyduck and yelled: "What kind of joke is this?! My Ekans is actually the same as that stupid duck?! Then let's settle this with strength! Go, Ekans, use Bite!"
Upon hearing Jessie's command, Ekans opened its mouth and charged towards Psyduck. Psyduck, seeing the open-mouthed Ekans rushing at it, froze for a moment before shielding the stewed fish beside it, its eyes glowing blue.
Ekans was instantly suspended in mid-air, and Jessie received the same treatment.
"What's going on? Why can't I move?"
Looking at the immobilized Jessie and Ekans, Ash said helplessly: "My Psyduck is a foodie. When your Ekans charged at it with its mouth open, it thought it was trying to steal its food."
Psyduck's eyes flashed again, sending Ekans flying back into Jessie before they were blasted far away.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
Watching Jessie fly away, Ash patted Psyduck's head and said: "That was pretty amazing, Psyduck."
Seeing that Psyduck still didn't understand anything, Ash shrugged before turning to James: "Since it's a draw, I'll acknowledge your beauty. You can keep those materials."
James smiled and said: "Thank you. We'll go find Jessie now. See ya later, kid!"
Meowth chimed in with a fish in its mouth: "Thanks for the fish! Goodbye!"
"Such an amazing feeling!" *2
