"Ash, was that what you just fed to Lapras...?" Lorelei looked at Ash in disbelief, and Ash didn't hide it, pulling out some more candies from his pocket and saying, "That's right, absolutely non-sellable Rare Candies. These things are really hard to make and can't be mass-produced, but their effects are absolutely amazing, and they taste great too." As he spoke, Ash took out a Rare Candy and ate it himself, leaving everyone around him stunned. "But you can't let Pokémon eat too much of it, it's not good for them. These are my snacks, they really taste great, but unfortunately, they can't be sold."

 "Such precious things, you shouldn't just eat them like that!" *5

 Amidst the angry shouts of four people and a Meowth, Ash shrugged helplessly and said, "Precious? Although they're not sold on the market, since I made them myself, I can definitely eat them as I please."

 "Do you even know how sought-after something like this could make you?!" Giselle was almost driven mad by Ash's actions, treating something so precious so casually. However, Ash looked at her with a helpless expression and said, "Come on, it's not like you haven't eaten them before."

Hmm? Could it be that what you gave me to eat back then was...? Giselle seemed to recall something, her face instantly darkening, while Ash nodded foolishly and said, "Yeah, wasn't it you who wanted to eat it?"

Giselle gave Ash a dark look, then dialed a phone number: "Hello, Cynthia? Ash is out traveling..."

"Yūto Giselle!!! You betrayed me!!!!"

"Who told you to give me such terrifying news!!!"

"Ash?! Where are you? I'm craving some strawberry sundae over here!"

"Turn it off!!!"

After the commotion, Ash and the others finally calmed down. Ash then took out some Rare Candies and handed one to each person present, saying, "Really, I have a lot of these. Why are you all so fascinated by them..."

"Ash, don't you know that just your Rare Candies alone are enough to make many people fight tooth and nail for them? You better be careful..." Lorelei looked at her fiancé somewhat speechlessly. Although he is strong at times, he can also be quite exasperating.

"Hmph, do they have the ability? Do they really think that only Professor Samuel Oak and the others are powerful in Pallet Town?" As Ash said this, a cold smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth. Others might be afraid, but Ash really isn't worried. If anyone dares to play dirty, sorry, Ash can use Rare Candies as a reward, and there will be plenty of people willing to help Ash solve the problem perfectly.

Misty looked at the Rare Candy Ash gave her and couldn't help but ask, "Ash, haven't you given these to a lot of people?"

"No, I've only given them to some people I know. Actually, I think giving out candy is pretty low-key."

'No! Absolutely not low-key!' *5

Just as Lorelei and the others thought, the families or people who had received Rare Candies from Ash all enshrined them. Of course, those who were close to Ash definitely received more. For example, Professor Samuel Oak and Nanako, Ash's godfather Giovanni, Elesa and Diantha. In fact, because of the Rare Candies, Gary had been beaten up quite a few times...

"Grandpa, why did you enshrine the candy Ash gave me? Why not just let my Pokémon eat it?"

Bang!

"Idiot! Don't rely too much on Rare Candies. These candies are best used to help Pokémon break through higher levels or stabilize their current state."

"But isn't it true that Ash will give these candies if you just ask him?"

Bang!

"So you better thank him properly! You should be grateful to have him as your brother! And I'll have your dad supervise you. You're only allowed to feed your Pokémon Rare Candies when they meet the required standards."

Professor Samuel Oak, of course, knew that Ash had a lot of Rare Candies, but that didn't mean he would shamelessly ask for more. Although he knew that Ash would definitely give them if he asked, and there was even a jar of them at Oak's daughter's place, Professor Oak had no intention of touching them, as those were gifts from Ash to his daughter.

On the other hand, at Giovanni's place, Archer looked at the jar of candies placed beside Giovanni and said, "Boss, the tech department really wants to study them..."

"Tell them not to even think about it. Some things are off-limits." Archer, who understood the father-son-like bond between Giovanni and Ash, already knew Giovanni would say this. All she needed to do was report it.

"Understood. I will remind them."

"Mm, you may go now."

"Yes!"

After Janine left, Giovanni took out a Rare Candy and looked at this item that could make countless people fight for it, smiling as he said, "If I hadn't met Ash, I might have gone to snatch it long ago. Really, it's like I'm not myself anymore..." As he spoke, Giovanni stroked the Persian in his arms and then looked at a photo. It was a picture of a young Giovanni with his wife and a little girl.

"Blue, where are you now? Ash has already developed the medicine that can wake your mother up. Now we're just waiting for you to come back so we can be reunited as a family..."

Of course, while some like Professor Samuel Oak have it easy, there are others who face a bit more trouble. Elesa, for instance, has a small issue to deal with.

"Huh? No way, why should I go ask Ash for more? I'm not the kind of woman who takes advantage of favoritism."

Upon hearing her agent say that the family elders hoped Elesa would ask for a few more Rare Candies, Elesa refused without a second thought. Ash had already given enough, and if the family asked for more, it would be overstepping. Just because Ash didn't mind didn't mean Elesa didn't. She wasn't a commodity, and her feelings for Ash weren't born out of these things. Elesa had always liked the younger brother Ash who had taken care of her in Hollywood, and that had never changed.

"Really, I'm going to Kanto to find Ash, so those shameless elders in the family won't overstep. Let's see what they'll do when my grandparents and parents come out of seclusion."

Elesa used the Rare Candy given by Ash to help her elders break through to the Champion level, which is why the elders in the family caused trouble.

After all, although it is indeed a good thing for family members to break through to the Champion level, if it's all from Elesa's family, it's not something many people would like to see. Of course, if these elders knew that Ash had a can of Rare Candy waiting to give to Elesa, they might regret offending her. Ash didn't send the Rare Candy because he was worried that someone might steal it during delivery.

Although Ash doesn't take the Rare Candy he can casually make seriously, it doesn't mean he would let someone take it away so easily. Even if it were taken, without knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, it would be impossible to make...

 "Zebstrika, eat this."

 After feeding her last Rare Candy to Zebstrika, Elesa began preparing to head to Kanto.

 "Hmph, a bunch of shameless old folks. I'll call Ash first, and then we'll see what you do!"
