The next day, when Misty and Suzie woke up, they could already smell the aroma of breakfast. Walking into the living room, they saw Ash cooking breakfast.
"Ash, you're up this early?" Suzie looked at Ash with some surprise. Ash, flipping fried eggs with a spatula, replied, "It's a bit later than my usual morning training. By the way, breakfast is almost ready. Come over and eat."
After sitting down, Suzie smelled the fried eggs and said in surprise, "Chansey's eggs?"
"Yeah, leftover stock from making cakes. They're very nutritious."
Misty looked at Ash strangely.
"I just feel like you're acting a bit strange today, Ash... Uh, Brock, what's wrong with you?" Misty turned her head and saw Brock with tears streaming down his face. Brock held back his grief and shook his head.
"It's nothing... I just didn't expect the women of the prairie to be so bold in love and hate... sob sob sob..."
Ash was a bit surprised to see Brock acting like this.
"Oh? Brock, you know a lot about the Laramie Clan?"
"Sob sob sob. Yesterday, I just saw a girl from the Laramie Clan give a ribbon to her lover to confirm their relationship... and today, you guys ALREADY!!!"
Ash looked at the two ribbons tied around his arm, blushing slightly as he said, "Ahem. Well. Actually, I was passive this time."
Then, Ash got his waist pinched by Suzie and Misty. After finding out what had happened yesterday, Misty and Suzie went to check on Lara and Tomo, leaving Ash to keep Brock company.
"Wahhh... Why?!"
"Alright, alright. I've known them for a long time, so it's completely normal for things to end up this way."
Tears streaming down his face, Brock choked on his sobs and asked Ash, "Then why don't I have any childhood friends? Why don't I know any ladies?"
Seeing Brock like this, Ash put an arm around his shoulder and said, "First of all... think back carefully, do you really not know any ladies? What about Elesa and the others?"
Crack!
Brock felt as if his neck was about to be snapped. Ash's eyes were glaring right at him.
"Anyone who has designs on my wives is now fertilizer."
"I'm sorry! I overstepped!"
"Very good. Now think back, did you know any friends during your childhood?"
Hearing Ash say this, Brock fell deep into thought.
"Friends I knew in my childhood? There were a few. But they either got married or lost their figures later on..."
"...If that's the case, if you want to be popular, you have to fix your habit of rushing at any beautiful woman you see. If you fix that, you might still be saved. Otherwise, your first impression is just way too frivolous."
Hearing Ash say this, Brock grumbled resentfully, "You're the one building a harem, and you have the nerve to lecture me?"
"Please! I've known them for a long time, and I made it clear from the start that I was going to build a harem. That's completely different from you charging at every woman you see, okay?!"
What could Brock say? It was true that he was too eager. If he could just hold back a bit, he'd probably be able to have proper conversations with ladies, right?
"Looks like you've realized it yourself. Very well. Right now, you only need to remember one thing: don't act too frivolous. Otherwise, trust me, the girl you finally managed to win over will choose to leave."
"Alright, I'll try my best to fix it..."
"Not try your best! You must! You don't know how this frivolous behavior makes you..."
"Ash, come here for a sec."
Whoosh!
Ash hadn't even finished his sentence before he vanished. Watching Ash sprint toward the bedroom, Brock said speechlessly, "Bros over... wait, girls over bros guy..."
When Ash dashed upstairs, Tomo, who was still lying in bed, said to him, "Ash, do you remember the Pokémon Race the Laramie Clan is holding in a few days?"
"I remember. Isn't it to determine the Honorary Trainer? What's up?"
"Ash, Lara and I hope you can compete in our stead."
Hearing this, Ash was stunned for a moment, but after glancing at the ribbons on his arm, he suddenly realized and said, "I see. I understand."
Seeing Ash immediately grasp her meaning, Tomo blushed.
"Then, we leave the Pokémon Race to you. Cheer hard for both me and Lara."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely win. After all, this is..."
Although he didn't finish the sentence, both Tomo and Lara knew exactly what he meant. Only Suzie and Misty were still in the dark.
"You'll know when the Pokémon Race starts. Anyway, I'm going to herd the Pokémon for Tomo and Lara now."
"You even know how to herd, Ash?" Suzie was somewhat surprised that Ash had this skill.
"I learned it. Practice makes perfect."
Misty couldn't help but ask, "When did you start learning that, Ash?"
"When Lara said she would help me look after the herbs. I tagged along and learned while watching her. It's actually quite simple. You just have to let them know who's the boss!"
