He knows Pokémon better than me.

About half an hour later, Officer Jenny from Grass Road Town arrived, and even the local Gym Leader came—

Poaching is no small matter.

Yalo was still wearing his white and green athletic uniform, with a large straw hat. Due to his overly muscular physique, the originally loose uniform looked particularly tight on him.

"Huh, Ash, you have these too?"

Looking at the eight exhausted-looking gorillas lying on the ground inside the greenhouse, Yalo was stunned.

Poaching a gorilla? That's quite rare.

"Long time no see, Mr. Yalo~"

Ash greeted him with a smile. The gym leader was friendly and enthusiastic, and had even given him a Dynamax Grass Seed.

After a brief exchange, Yalo nodded, indicating that he would take care of the Thunder King Kongs for the time being, as the vacant ranches in Grass Road Town were more than enough.

During this time, Ash also took a closer look at these muscular gorillas—

These Grass-type starter Pokémon are incredibly powerful; he had already seen that from Hop.

The Grassmaker ability allows it to transform from a powerful ape into a giant ape, and combined with the Grass Slide that can be activated first on Grassy Terrain, it is extremely strong.

Of course, these eight creatures in front of us all have the ordinary "fierce" characteristics and are not capable of creating any green light curtain.

No problem, the properties of the ointment can be modified.

He had wanted to have his own Grass-type starter Pokémon for a long time, but he had never found one.

Unfortunately, none of the eight in front of him caught his eye.

After being whipped with the Flaming Whip for half a month, these Thunder King Kong Apes have softened their personalities and seem particularly resistant to humans.

The best option is to send them all back to their home countries.

"Leave it to me. I'll find some time to transport all these Thunder King Kong Apes back to the Okoya Great Forest."

Yalo patted his chest and laughed as he took on the contract.

"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Yalo."

Xiao Zhi nodded gratefully. Just then, Officer Jenny came out from inside, handcuffing several people, and was pushing them toward the police car.

This includes Hunter K, and the staff member who used the Molten Ant Beast.

"As expected, I shouldn't try it next time. I should just run away when we meet."

As he passed by, Hunter K glanced at Ash with lingering fear, thinking to himself.

If he recklessly chooses to confront someone head-on again, he won't be able to keep his code name either.

The Hunter Organization classifies it as a "dangerous trainer; if you encounter Ash in Pallet Town, you can immediately abandon the mission."
There must be a reason for that.

No problem. While Sonia was interrogating the two upper-class nobles, he had secretly cut the vines and released his Dream Eater.

When Miss Officer Jenny's car is halfway there, the Dream Eater will use teleportation to take her away.

Okay, then I'll leave the Galar region immediately and find another place to work.

As for the two upper-class nobles, they were also handcuffed and pushed around. But this time, they were finally able to speak loudly.

"Hey! I need to hire a lawyer!"

"This has nothing to do with us; it's all our men causing trouble."

Soder and Syldi immediately shifted the blame to their subordinates.

After discussing the matter, Alo and Officer Jenny both felt it was difficult to handle and could only temporarily detain the two individuals. Despite the serious poaching activities and illegal exploitation of Pokémon, the two hadn't actually participated; they had been observing from the sidelines and could have easily extricated themselves at any time.

At most, there will be only one charge of mismanagement, and after paying the fine, he will be released quickly.

"Besides, these two people have some connections. Unless President Rose handles it, there's really no good solution."

Yalo expressed his helplessness about this.

Ash nodded. He had already texted Chairman Rose, who said his secretary would come to Grass Road Town to handle the matter in person tomorrow.

They should be able to stay locked up for a few days, right?

"Sonia, it looks like you had a good haul~?"

Seeing Sonia excitedly following Officer Jenny out, Ash couldn't help but tease her.

Sonia nodded repeatedly, proudly waving the recorder in her hand—

Although her questions were met with either rambling from Sord and Syldi, or attempts to change the subject and mislead the conversation.
However, she has basically gotten everything she wanted.

"Hehe, I'll go back to the research institute now and organize all the data so I can publish my paper!"

Sonia grinned, never expecting that her first paper as a postdoctoral researcher would be so groundbreaking and of such high quality, sure to cause a sensation in the academic world of Galler.

No, historical myths are all radically altered; the Galatians would be shocked!
But there should be quite a few obstacles ahead—

It's not just Sord and Hildi; there are quite a few people who uphold the current history of the Galar mythology, and they all hold high positions!
"Yes, we'll need to get President Rose's endorsement next."

Sonia thought to herself, with this alliance president backing her up, at least the paper can be published normally and won't be intercepted halfway.

"President Rose is truly omnipotent!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

It's fair to say that every industry would be much simpler with Chairman Loz's help.

This demonstrates the man's dominance over the Galar region.

"Fortunately, President Rose is a good person, not some scheming villainous boss."

"Of course!"

Hearing Ash's mutterings, Sonia spoke up as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

However, her grandmother seemed quite resistant to President Loz.
I don't know why, maybe it's something from my previous job?
"Then I'll head out first~"

Sonia smiled and waved, then picked up her bag and headed out. Outside the ranch, a Steel-armored Raven and a wagon were already parked.

This is the "online-booked flying taxi" she booked, which can take you directly to Mugan Town in the south.

After getting into the car, Sonia leaned out the window and gave a special reminder:
"By the way, Ash, you haven't visited my lab in Motostoke yet, have you? Come visit my lab sometime!"

Come to think of it, since becoming a Pokémon Professor, she's been traveling all over Galar, and she hasn't even spent more than a few days at the research institute she took over from her grandmother.
"I see."

Ash agreed. He had even passed by the research institute in Motostoke when he visited Dr. Magnolia in Motostoke.

However, Dr. Mulan has retired and is no longer there, and the research institute has changed hands.

So at the time, he only glanced inside from outside the door—

My impression of it is that it was a research institute with a purple roof and elegant, exquisite decoration, resembling a small library.

"Gah—!!"

Soon, the Steelraven let out a loud cry, grabbed the carriage, and soared into the sky, flying south and disappearing into the depths of the clouds. (End of Chapter)
