At that moment, the burly man was being cornered by his daughter with a troubled expression, while Ash and the others were enjoying the show. Ash munched on candy and remarked, "See? I told you he's definitely the type who neglects his family. Called it."
Misty's eye twitched slightly as she glanced at Ash's candy and couldn't help asking, "Ash, that candy of yours… it isn't by any chance…?"
"Ah, just made it recently. Want some?"
"You should save them for the Pokémon..." Misty and Brock finally understood completely.
Meanwhile, Suzy took the candy from Ash, popped it into her mouth, and said while eating, "The flavor has improved again!"
"Yeah, I made a lot of different flavors on purpose." As he spoke, Ash fed a few Rare Candies into Meowth and Blaziken's mouths, then continued watching the show.
"Anyway, I won't go home until I become Champion!"
Meanwhile, the burly man took Hitmonchan away to treat its injuries. Although Hitmonchan had been defeated, but it's good that the hidden injury was discovered. It should be treated promptly.
Watching Sendo take Hitmonchan for treatment while massaging his silly duck's head, he muttered, "At least he has some conscience, knowing to treat Hitmonchan's hidden injury..." Just as Ash was massaging the duck's head, Rebecca walked over.
Before Rebecca could finish speaking, Brock had already rushed to her front and asked, "What's the matter, miss?"
Watching Brock instantly rush to Rebecca's side to fawn over her, Ash, Misty, and Suzy twitched their lips but didn't say anything. Might as well let Brock handle the interaction...
"I'm sorry for all the trouble my father has caused you."
"No problem, no problem."
Seeing the mischievous Brock, Ash felt that his earlier decision to have someone take him to the fitness park was absolutely the right choice—otherwise, this guy would probably have caused him a heap of trouble.
Just as Ash was thinking about sending Brock to the fitness park again next time, Rebecca also spoke up about her family situation. To put it bluntly, her father, Sendo, was never home because he was too busy training in the mountains. This worried Rebecca deeply as his daughter.
"If possible, could you please help us defeat my father's Hitmonchan? I think if he's beaten in battle, he should be able to come home, right?"
Rebecca had previously witnessed the performance of Ash's Primeape. In her opinion, as long as Ash's Primeape took the field, her father would pretty much be able to face reality.
However, before Ash, whom Rebecca had high hopes for, could speak, Brock instead took the lead and said, "Leave this matter to me. We will defeat your father, I promise."
Watching Brock speak so confidently, Suzy, who was holding Vulpix, couldn't help but ask, "Brock, don't you only have Rock-type Pokémon and Zubat?"
"It's fine, my Geodude can handle it. And Ash's Primeape is perfect for the Fighting Tournament!"
Seeing Brock so fired up, Ash shrugged and turned to Primeape, asking, "So, what do you say? Want to go fight for a gold belt to wear?"
"Roar!"
They also saw Primeape's request. After all, it wouldn't hurt to give that irresponsible Sendo a wake-up call.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Team Rocket's three troublemakers had run out of funds for their golden belts.
"Musashi, I told you not to buy so many luxury items. Look, now after paying for the machine, we won't have enough to eat again..." Kojiro sighed, looking at the nearly empty wallet. But Musashi confidently replied, "No problem, as long as we win the golden belt!"
"But we don't even have a Fighting-type Pokémon, meow!"
As soon as Meowth finished speaking, he noticed Musashi staring at him. Immediately hugging himself, Meowth protested, "Don't joke around! You want me to fight, meow?!"
"I'm not that stupid. Look at that."
"Hmm?"
Kojiro and Meowth followed Musashi's pointing finger and saw a tall man and a Hitmonlee.
"That's a Hitmonlee, known as the 'Demon of Kicks.' We just need to snatch it away."
As they spoke, the trio from Team Rocket revealed sinister grins.
