Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

Xiao Ming's Sandshrew greatly impressed Xiao Zhi, so he decided to rediscover his original passion.

"To become a Pokémon Master, you can't just focus on training rare Pokémon; common Pokémon are also essential."

Ash wanted to catch a Caterpie, but unfortunately, Misty strongly objected, so he gave up.

"I'll train Caterpie into a Caterpie Warrior and thoroughly humiliate Rayquaza..." Ash secretly vowed, clutching his Poké Ball.

"I definitely will in the future, and then I will be the undisputed strongest Pokémon Master!"

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Ruthless Lv1 → Ruthless Lv2: You can choose one Pokémon slot to convert into an additional Pokémon holding space, increasing the number of Pokémon you can hold to 7!]

By relentlessly attacking wild Pokémon without any regard for morality, Ash's own ability also leveled up.

Trainers can typically carry only six Pokémon with them.

If the number exceeds the limit, you must select a Poké Ball corresponding to the excess number to send it back to the trainer's storage.

The technology in this world is truly amazing; they can achieve spatial teleportation so easily.

"This way, I can bring seven Pokémon out to fight in turns."

Ash was secretly delighted that the efficiency of training Pokémon had greatly improved.

As for whether others will notice something is amiss...

But there's also the great power of waveguides.

There are many people with unique talents in the Pokémon world, such as a certain psychic who can turn people into dolls at will.

The power of Tokiwa, which can heal, is something everyone is already used to.

Moreover, users of Aura power are extremely rare; the most famous one is the Aura Hero from a thousand years ago.

Therefore, human understanding of waveguides is very limited, and any anomalies are simply attributed to waveguide forces.

Amazing, the power of waveguides!

Chapter Thirteen: Pokémon Noble Academy

Deep, deep in the forest, the weather today is inexplicably foggy, with extremely low visibility.

Ash searched for a long time in the thick fog before finally finding a Rattata in the grass.

"Arbok uses Poison Sting! Pidgeotto attacks with its wings!"

Thanks to the snake's ability to control mice, this wild Rattata didn't dare to move in front of the Arbok.

It allowed Arbok's venomous stinger to strike its body, while Pidgeotto's attack followed closely behind.

Rattata quickly lost its ability to battle, and Ash seized the opportunity to throw a Poké Ball to capture it.

After their battle, Ekans and Pidgeotto simultaneously emitted a white light and began to evolve.

"These two are really destined to meet, being captured and evolving on the same day."

Ash looked at them with satisfaction. After so many days of 'farming experience,' it was finally time for them to evolve.

Ash put the evolved Arbok and Pidgeot back into their Poké Balls and immediately began his training for the day.

"Xiao Zhi, stop for a second. Have you noticed something?" Xiao Xia turned her head and looked at the thick fog around them.

"We seem to be lost. Where are we?"

Ash, who was leading Pikachu in a frog jump, also stood up to observe his surroundings, and then calmly said.

"Yes, that's right, we're lost."

Xiaoxia's soft palm patted Xiaozhi on the back of the head

"Why are you so calm? I clearly said this morning that we should rest at the campsite because of the thick fog."

After looking at the map for a long time, Xiaoxia could only sigh in the end.

"There's nothing we can do but rest here and wait for the fog to clear."

She reached out and grabbed Xiaozhi's ear, who had started doing frog jumps again.

"We've run out of fuel, go find some firewood!"

With no other option, Ash had to take Pikachu and start searching for wood in the surrounding area.

"Sigh, if only I had a Fire-type Pokémon right now."

"Firewood, firewood, where are you? Answer me if you are here."

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

A moment later, Pikachu, who was searching for wood, seemed to have discovered something and ran back to Ash's feet, tugging at his trouser leg.

"That's... Strange, I don't see firewood but I see fire."

Ahead, amidst the thick fog, there was a light. Ash quickly grabbed Pikachu and ran forward to investigate.

To everyone's surprise, Ash saw a group of people with brightly colored hair who looked like delinquents in the light.

They were holding delicate candles and circling a treadmill.

On the treadmill was a mushroom-headed boy who looked about the same age as Ash, with a submissive and weak aura.

Everyone was wearing the same clothes, which Xiaozhi judged to be school uniforms.

"You good-for-nothing, who gave you permission to get distracted! Look at the picture on this card, what is this?"

A red-haired boy with spiky hair in the crowd held a bunch of cards and pulled one out to ask a question to the person on the treadmill.

Is it a Zubat?

The card had a picture of a Bobo, but unfortunately, the mushroom-headed boy panting on the treadmill didn't seem to recognize it.

"No, you only have one last chance. Answer me one more time!"

“That’s Bobo…” Mushroom Head answered timidly once again.

"Then tell me its ultimate skill..."

The red-haired boy kept asking questions, and the mushroom-headed boy answered them intermittently.

But the questions became increasingly difficult and tricky, even asking how many feathers Pidgey's evolved forms typically have.

It wasn't just the person holding the card; their accomplices were also constantly fanning the flames.

"Answer quickly, or you'll have to run even faster."

The light from the candles in their hands made everyone's faces appear incredibly sinister.

Xiao Zhi has seen this scene many times; it's clearly school bullying.

Soon the boy on the treadmill ran out of energy and was thrown to the ground behind him.

"Ouch, that hurts! I'm sorry, I forgot about the question."

"You think you can just say you forgot and that's it?"

The red-haired boy in the lead didn't seem to intend to let the mushroom-headed boy off the hook.

"Can you even be considered a student in the Pokémon class? You're so bad that we don't want to study under the same roof with you anymore!"

Seeing this, Ash couldn't stand idly by. "Wait a minute, what are you doing!"

The red-haired man was somewhat surprised by Ash's appearance.

"Outsiders should not meddle in our affairs; this is our own special training."

"People like that shouldn't stay in our class! This is our friendship, you know."

The sinister green-haired man immediately chimed in.

Xiao Zhi helped the mushroom-headed boy, who was still lying on the ground, to his feet.

"What are you talking about friendship? Bullying is bullying, and I can't pretend I didn't see what you did."

"Ash, you're right, keep it up!" Misty suddenly appeared behind Ash.

"I, Xiaoxia, the world's most beautiful girl, will never forgive someone who bullies the weak."

"Xiaoxia, don't interfere, leave this to me." As soon as Xiaoxia appeared, Xiaozhi wanted to show off again.

"I would never lay a hand on her; girls hate violence the most."

The violent female dinosaur who usually plays around with Ash can actually tell such a lie without batting an eye.

"But there are five of them and you're only one, so you're unlikely to win. If you get killed, I'll collect your body."

Xiaoxia said to Xiaozhi with a smile.

This was obviously a joke, but Xiaoxia is still too young.

Even if those five kids, all around ten years old, released all their Pokémon, Ash, being a physical powerhouse, could still defeat them.

You should know that Ash's current physical body is capable of lifting boulders weighing several tons with both hands.

Ash took a deep breath and released the 'seal'. His originally ordinary body suddenly swelled up, and his muscles burst out.

He picked up a stone from the ground and crushed it into powder.

"Who wants to go first?" Xiao Zhi grinned at the group of energetic young men.

However, Xiaoxia ultimately failed to witness Ash's true power after his physical transformation into a saint, because the other side spoke first.

"That's too barbaric."

"Trying to resort to fists for everything is like going back to the Stone Age."

"Fighting with an ape-level idiot would damage the reputation of our Pokémon team. It seems we should call it a day."

"Xiao Chun, see you in our class." Before leaving, the green-haired, sinister boy gave the mushroom-headed Xiao Chun a vicious threat.
