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

really!

"Beep! Gible, using the small side caves in the cave as its dwelling, will quickly pounce out to catch any prey that gets close."

It was Gible, a pseudo-legendary Gible from the Sinnoh region, Ash looked at it excitedly.

Gible also stared at Ash's head with its intelligent eyes.

Both slowly approached each other, when suddenly Gible leaped up and happily bit Ash's head.

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts! What are you doing? Let go!" Xiao Zhi didn't expect the other party to move so quickly despite his dazed expression.

Ash struggled to pull Gible off his head, and immediately released Lucario.

"Lucario, use the Wave Missile!"

Under the attack of the wave missile, the Gible showed a pained expression, and its eyes changed from blank to sharp.

"Don't give your opponent a chance to breathe, Lucario, use Power!"

Before Gible could retaliate, Lucario had already rushed up to it and struck its belly squarely with both palms.

This Gible wasn't a high-level creature; it quickly became Poliwag-like under Lucario's attack and lost its ability to battle.

Seizing the opportunity, Ash threw out a Poké Ball, and after a few flashes of red light, Gible was successfully captured.

"Alright, I've successfully caught Gible!"

Ash was delighted and immediately checked Gible's stats panel.

[Pokémon Name: Gible (Fated Partner)]

【Trait: Sand Cloak (In sandstorm weather, evasion rate is increased by 20%, and the user is unaffected by stamina loss during sandstorm weather.)】

[Skills: Impact; Quicksand Abyss; Sandstorm; Dragon Breath]

[Affection Level: 30 (Will resolutely carry out your orders)]

[Intimacy Level: 20 (He really likes your head)]

[Ding! New side quest triggered: Land Shark: Evolve Gible into Garchomp.]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +500; Free Attribute Points +3; Skill: Heavenly Dragon Meteor]

I finally succeeded in capturing my first pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

However, the training period for pseudo-legendary Pokémon like these is very long, and Ash has to put in a lot of effort to achieve the full combat power of a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

However, after catching Sharpedo, Ash had one more Pokémon.

After thinking for a moment, Ash decided to teleport Clefairy back to Professor Oak's lab.

The main reason is that Professor Oak has been asking Ash for a long time to research Clefairy.

"I hope nothing bad happens at Professor Oak's lab when we teleport Clefairy back," Ash silently prayed for him.

Piccolo just finished his education on love, so he should be fine for a while... right?

After giving away Clefairy, Ash released his newly caught Gible.

"I've chosen you, Gible, come out."

The Gible that had just emerged didn't obediently appear on the grass; instead, it turned around and bit Ash's head again.

"Ouch, ouch, Gible, what are you doing?"

[Ding! Gible: Affection +1; Intimacy +1]

How come biting someone's head increases intimacy?

"Xiaoxia, come help me quickly."

Xia, who was preparing lunch nearby, rushed over upon hearing the noise.

It took the two of them a lot of effort to get Gible off Ash's head.

Ash was speechless. "Does Gible really like my head that much?"

Unfortunately, all he got in response was Gible's blank expression.

"Sigh, I'm really defeated by you."

Unfortunately, Ash had no choice but to release the other Pokémon he needed to focus on training recently.

"Come out, Beedrill, Arbok, Pidgeot, Rattata."

Ash has already made a plan: besides Pikachu and Lucario, he will rotate them for training at the Pokémon Center in each new town.

In order to take into account every Pokémon as much as possible.

Including Gible, five Pokémon are on the move together today.

Ash and his minions began clearing the bushes near the main road.

The wild Pokémon in this area have suffered a great calamity. As soon as Ash finds them, he will be swarmed by five red-eyed Pokémon.

While traveling and hunting in the wild, Xiao Zhi leaves behind a trail of 'corpses' wherever he goes.

Ash also caught two new Pokémon during this time.

They were a Rhinoceros Armor and a Machop, which then teleported Arbok and Rattata back to the research lab.

Rhydon and Machop are the leaders of the Pokémon in this area.

He was incredibly loyal and righteous! Even when surrounded by villains, he fought to the death to cover his men's escape.

Ash was so touched that he captured them without hesitation.

Then he led them to attack their former underlings. (Underlings: Boss, why are you doing this...? (;???Д??`))

And the system received an upgrade when it detected wrist strength.

[Ding! The system has detected that the host already owns ten Pokémon. The system will be updated.]

【…】

[Ding! Update complete.]

The system updates very quickly.

[Updated shop functionality; added achievement system; adjusted task rewards (increased Alliance Coin rewards)]

Xiao Zhi found a shady spot under a big tree and started checking the system updates.

The first thing to check is the store's updates.

The newly opened online store has a lot of great items.

It contains all the materials needed for Pokémon evolution and evolution stones of various types.

[Metallic coating; Price: 50000 Alliance Coins]

[Dragon's Fang; Price: 20000 Alliance Coins]

Fire Stone; Price: 10000 Alliance Coins

……

There is also a wide variety of unique gadgets and Poké Balls available.

However, they are not cheap; a regular Poké Ball costs 240 League Coins in the city store.

The system charges 300, that's highway robbery!

However, some products are worth spending a lot of money on, such as...

Master Ball; Price: 9999999 League Coins; 10 remaining

Damn it, is this some kind of supermarket sale? They might as well just list it for 1000 million.

After checking his entire fortune of 7 League Coins, Ash silently gritted his teeth and swiped away from the Master Ball screen.

The achievement system, on the other hand, is a pleasant surprise.

As soon as Ash opened his achievements panel, a huge list of achievements popped up, startling him.

[Your first Pokémon! You now own your first Pokémon, Pikachu. Rewards: Attack +1, League Coins +100]

[See yourself clearly! You have been given the title 'Scumbag'. Reward: Alliance Coins +200]

[A glorious evolution! Evolve a Pokémon into its final form, 'Beedrill'. Rewards: HP +1, League Coins +100]

[The first step towards legend! Obtain a Gym Badge 'Gray Badge'. Rewards: Attack +1, Gym Coins +200]

[Win 100 consecutive wins. Rewards: +2 to Free Attributes, +500 Alliance Coins]

【...】

These achievements brought Ash 4000 League Coins and nearly 20 attribute points, a truly unexpected bonus.

Xiao Zhi quickly opened his attribute panel, intending to use up all the free attribute points he had accumulated during this time.

But which attribute points should I allocate? Maybe I should just put them all into acceleration.

Real men always have to go for the fast game!

Chapter Nineteen: Scumbags Will Be Severely Punished

[Name: Ash (Scumbag: HP increases by 5% when battling female trainers)]

【属性：体力：110；攻击：120；防御：100；特攻：100；特防：90；速度：100；】

[Kanto Region Reputation: 16 (Unknown New Trainer)]

[Kanto Region Affinity: 30 (You won't be questioned by Officer Jenny for no reason)]

[Traits: Ruthless LV2; Aura Force LV2; Chef LV1;]

[Skills: Water Gun; Megaton Punch]

[Items: 74520 League Coins; 50 Normal Poké Balls; ... 1 Extra Pokémon Space]

Ash used up all the free attribute points he had.

However, he was once again blessed by the god of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and every attribute of his was exactly a round number.

Looking at the panel, Ash shook his head. "It's still not enough. I'm still too weak, I have no power..." (Pixie: Really?)
