Just as Ash and his companions were about to continue their journey, trouble arrived. Of course, this trouble wasn't for everyone—it was specifically meant for Ash alone.
"Big Bro Ash!!?!!_*N?."
With that cry of "Big Bro Ash," a gang of bicycle riders came speeding toward Ash's group, quickly surrounding him until he couldn't move an inch.
"Big Bro Ash, you're here!
"Big Bro Ash, have you finally started your journey?!
"Did you tell Boss Karen about it?"
Ash was originally answering their questions just fine, but...
When he heard someone call her "Big Sis Karen," Ash slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, I forgot! Wait for me, you guys!"
Then, with slightly trembling hands, Ash took out his communicator. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he dialed the number—and the call was answered instantly on the other end.
"Well, well, who do we have here? If it isn't a certain Ash who forgot to keep in touch with me after setting out on his journey?"
"Sorry, sis. I got caught up with things and forgot to contact you."
"Oh, you're busy. I can understand that."
On the other end of the communication, Karen seemed quite reasonable, but Ash knew the real storm was about to come.
"Now I want to see you! Immediately! Right this instant~_?l"
"Oh sis, there's nothing I can do about that. After all, I'm already out traveling, and you're in Johto while I can't get there from here, right?"
Hearing Karen say this, Ash could only express his helplessness. However, Karen on the communication screen smiled at him and said, "Oh? So does that mean if I were in Kanto, you could come over?"
"Well... to be honest, it would depend on my travel route. You know I've got gym battles and the Indigo League to participate in."
Hearing Ash's response, Karen was left with a dark expression on her face.
"Are you going to crush newbies?"
"No way, I'm just a rookie trainer, isn't it normal for me to join competitions?"
_"Normal my ass, whatever, I'll come find you myself."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Ash sensed something was wrong. Then he saw the Biker Gang collectively make way to greet a gray-haired beauty. "Big Sis Karen!" *N
"Yo. Ash. Surprise~"
"More like a shock, huh?"
Ash looked somewhat helplessly at Karen, who promptly placed a hand on his shoulder while greeting Lyn beside them, "Yo~ Lyn, long time no see."
Seeing Karen, Lyn also said with a smile, "Long time no see, Sister Karen. What brings you to Kanto?"
"Of course I came to settle some matters, but I never expected to run into Ash. I was planning to knock him out and take him away, but since he just remembered to contact me, I decided against it."
"2.."*4
Hearing Karen's bold statement, Ash and the others were at a loss for words. However, the bike gang members looked at Karen with admiration instead. One girl in particular said with a face full of worship, "As expected of Big Sis Karen! Only our big sis daring to knock out big brother Ash with a sneak attack!"
Hearing the girl say this, Ash looked at her speechlessly.
"Misa, there's really nothing to admire about that... Oh right, Misty, Brock, May, you probably don't know yet—this is Karen, you could say she's like an older sister to me."
When Ash introduced her, Karen smiled and greeted the three, "Hello there, I'm Karen, from the Johto region."
"Johto Elite Four member Karen! What an honor! I am Brock. Might I have the pleasure—"
Upon seeing Karen, Brock couldn't control himself again and immediately went to confess his feelings. However, Ash suddenly grabbed his arm and flipped him over with a judo throw.
"Now's not the time for your flirting, damn it!"
"Oh oh oh go!" *N
Seeing Ash take down Brock with one move, the bicycle gang collectively got excited.
"It's appeared! Ash's signature shoulder throw! The ultimate move that no one has been able to counter yet!"
While Ash was dealing with Brock using his shoulder throw, Misty and May had already gotten acquainted with Karen.
"Oh, I see. One is someone Ash already knew, and the other is Ash's new girlfriend. I knew it! With Ash's obviously carnivorous personality—there's no way, you know what we used to call Ash back in the day?"
Hearing Karen's question, Misty, May, and even Lyn grew curious.
"What did you call him?" *3
"Alpha Wolf, pfft hahaha!.":?
