Alright, here is the extra chapter I promised because we hit a 100 Power Stones. Now, give me more.
————————————————————
After several days of travel, Ash and his team finally arrived at Mt. Mortar, one of the highest mountains in the Johto Region. It has weird weather, unique terrain, and many rare Pokémon living inside or near it.
Now it was getting late, but heavy fog suddenly appeared in the mountain road that they were walking on.
Ash had to take back all the Pokémon except Pikachu and hugged Molly tightly to prevent her from having an incident and getting lost from the path.
He has the power of Aura to guide him and can discern the direction even in such foggy weather.
Now the group must find a place to settle down quickly. It is too dangerous to walk around in such weather without knowing much about the area.
Brock, who couldn't take care of himself in this heavy fog, accidentally stepped on something and fell to the ground.
"Brock, are you okay?"
Hearing Brock's voice, Misty quickly exclaimed. She held Ash's arm tightly, which was her only support now knowing where they should go.
"Are you okay?"
In front of Brock, a beautiful woman in ancient costume suddenly appeared, wearing a long skirt and holding an ancient lantern in her hand.
Behind her stood a gorgeous Ninetales, its golden fur dazzling even in the heavy fog.
"What's the matter, Brock?"
Ash rushed over with Misty and Molly. Looking at the beautiful girl in ancient costumes and the Ninetales in front of him, he frowned but still showed a smile that showed that he realized something, but he didn't say anything to see what the plan was.
"Ninetales are so beautiful!" Although Misty specializes in Water-type Pokémon, this does not prevent her from appreciating other beautiful Pokémon.
This Ninetales is indeed extraordinary, with elegant manners and a strong sense of nobility. Its has probably been trained by a wealthy family from the beginning.
And it seemed to be very interesting in Brock. It bypassed the beauty in ancient costume and came to Brock, and whispered something softly.
But Brock's attention is obviously more on the beauty in ancient costume than on a Pokémon, "Miss, you are so beautiful. My name is Brock. May I know your beautiful name!"
"My name is Lokoko!" the girl in ancient costume replied, "It's very dense here around this year. It's too dangerous to walk on the mountain road at this time. Please come to my house to rest while the fog is disappearing!"
Seeing that gentle smile, Brock was so excited, "Not only is she beautiful, she is also gentle and kind!"
Such beauties can only appear in his imagination!
Ash smiled slightly, agreed, and followed Brock and Lokoko with Misty and Molly. He never put Molly down fearing that he will lose her.
He didn't put Molly down until he came to the "home" that Lokoko mentioned.
This whole thing is a giant mansion. Although it is a bit old, it is still very grand, with hanging beams and splendid building designs. It matches the nobility of Ninetales very well.
After the four people sat down, Lokoko brought them some fruits to enjoy. Ash used his power over Aura to check this and see if it was real or not. It was indeed a real fruit, and then he took a bite and everyone followed him knowing it was safe to eat.
"Thank you for being so kind to us!" Brock felt that he had finally arrived in his dream land, with a beautiful woman taking care of him. Ninetales also seemed to like him very much, and immediately threw herself on his lap.
She began to eat with him.
He gently stroked Ninetales' golden fur and said, "Ninetales, you are very gorgeous!"
Until Molly was full and started to feel sleepy, Ash didn't move much from his seat.
"Is this enough?" Lokoko didn't care at all that everyone was eating all the fruits, but asked with concern if they needed more.
"I'm already full, and my heart is also filled by your presence. Such a wonderful place makes me want to stay here forever!" Brock had forgotten everything and was beginning talking nonsense. Upon hearing this, Ninetales, who was lying on his lap, immediately opened her eyes.
"I'm so happy to hear you say that!"
"The fog around here often takes a night to dissipate. Please stay here for tonight! You're welcome to use anything you like here. I'll prepare the necessary rooms for you guys right now!" Lokoko left with Ninetales after saying that.
However, just as she turned to leave, Misty suddenly noticed that there was only Ninetales in the mirror nearby. Looking in front of her, Lokoko was clearly walking side by side with the Ninetales.
This frightened her so much that she almost fainted. She turned her head several times and still couldn't believe her eyes. She quickly looked at Ash and said, "Ash..."
Unexpectedly, Ash held her wrist, smiled and shook his head at her, "It's okay, calm down, we'll rest here until dawn."
Seeing Ash's posture and Brock's intoxicated look, Misty understood that Ash had long noticed something strange about Lokoko and her Ninetales.
"Ash, how long have you noticed this for?"
Ash nodded but didn't answer her question but said something else, "It's such a nice big house, let's take a good rest before continuing talking about this!"
He has the power of Aura with him, thus making him able to see the world much differently from an ordinary people. He didn't say anything because he knew that this was the best thing he could do at that time. He brought the group here to stay overnight because it was too dangerous to walk around in such foggy weather in the mountains.
Misty understood and nodded along with his answer to her previous questions.
But if he doesn't tell her is reasonings, Misty, who is very afraid of ghosts, may not be able to sleep at all tonight.
While they were talking, Lokoko and Ninetales came back in front of them.
Ninetales rushed to Brock's side again and behaved very intimately with him. Even Brock was surprised. How could he suddenly be so loved by this Ninetales that he only met not so long ago?
"Ninetales really likes Mr. Brock!"
Brock had no choice but to find a reason to explain, "Yes, I have raised a Vulpix before, so I that's why she like me so much!"
He did raise a Vulpix before, but there must be other reasons why Ninetales likes him so much than that simple thing.
"Excuse me, Miss Lokoko, why do you live alone in such a big house in the mountains?" Misty asked, "I'm sorry, was it too rude to ask this question?
Unable to directly ask what was going on, Misty chose to find the answer by making insinuations. In this deep mountain, the combination of a beautiful woman in old looking traditional clothes and a Ninetales is already terrifying enough.
Lokoko explained it her, "It's okay, it's not rude at all. The owner of this house here went on a long trip and didn't come back yet. Because he left for so long, the servants asked for leave and left the house. Now only I, who is responsible for taking care of this Ninetales, stayed here with her. Now we are just waiting for our master to come back to us!"
When Brock learned of the inside story, he burst into tears. The story of waiting so long for their master was really touching to him.
"So, I have something to ask Mr. Brock!" Then, Lokoko said again.
"Huh? Sure, ask away."
"As you know, it's hard for me as a woman to maintain this large place. So, please stay here with me and Ninetales!" Lokoko's words shocked Misty and Brock to their core.
Even Molly's eyes widened from her sleep.
Even she at this age understood the meanings behind of these words.
Brock was so shocked that he was sweating profusely, "So...Miss Lokoko wants to marry me...?"
When asked this question, Lokoko looked shy and covered half of her face with her long sleeves, "If you don't like me-!"
"I will never not like you!"
Brock was so excited that he rushed forward, but strangely passed through Lokoko's body and fell to the ground behind her.
Misty suddenly grabbed Ash's arm, but received a comforting look from him.
At this time, Lokoko finally did something. She asked Ninetales to push him to another room, and then looked at Ash and Misty with a gloomy face, "I'm sorry, you guys should go back to where you came from!"
She was going to drive the very people she brought with her away.
Ash simply shook his head. That guy was so obsessed with the opposite sex that he forgot his friends and did something like that.
Seeing Ninetales unfolding the nine tails behind her, her ruby-like eyes shining with scarlet light, Ash stood up from his seat and shouted loudly.
"Ninetales, enough is enough!"
