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

However, the cost was that the debt accumulated even more, and eventually there wasn't even enough money to buy ammunition.

They could only fill them with water as bullets, but unexpectedly, it worked wonders against so many Duns.

"You're the only one left, you brat! Derubi, Flamethrower!"

"Intense Monkey, Explosive Punch!"

These two never learn their lesson.

"These two are stronger than your previous Pokémon, but they're still a long way from battling me!"

"Magnificent teeth use rolling!"

Facing the opponent's flamethrower, Majestic Fang's massive body surged forward unstoppably, knocking the two newly acquired Pokémon around like bowling balls.

Even if the Pokémon of ordinary Team Rocket members look intimidating, they always appear weak and completely vulnerable.

The two Pokémon that flew off crashed back into their trainers' arms, losing their ability to battle.

[Ding! Majestic Teeth: Affection +1; Intimacy +1]

Ash took the opportunity to throw out a rope and lassoed them like a cowboy in the West.

They tied the person and the Pokémon together.

"Now! Pikachu, unleash Thunderbolt!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu leaps from Ash's shoulder and unleashes a powerful surge of electricity.

"Ah, it's numb, it's numb!"

"Why would we build robots that we can't even fit into? Wouldn't that hurt even more than usual?"

With a deafening roar, Team Rocket transformed into shooting stars in the sky as usual.

"What an awful feeling!"

After losing their master's control, the four robots stood there blankly, emptying their stored water and collapsing to the ground without moving.

Afterwards, Xiao Zhi collected them and sold them as scrap metal.

Yiqi and the others finally ran over and hugged their little Dunjia.

"I'm so sorry that you got kidnapped by bad guys."

After rescuing Little Donkey, Miss Ichi was very grateful to Ash and his friends.

"Thanks to Xiaozhi and the others for their help this time, I really don't know how to thank you enough."

"I have a question, Miss Ichiki. Why does Donpla have the ability to find agate?" Ash asked curiously.

Yi Qi didn't hide anything from him and spoke frankly about it.

"Our village has been making agate jewelry for generations, so we have ancestral skills that can teach Pokémon how to accurately find agate."

"And the 'donjac', which is sensitive to smell and soil condition, has been a great help to experienced craftsmen in finding raw materials since ancient times."

"Xiao Zhi, you came here to find agate too, right?"

"Yes." Ash naturally wouldn't deny it.

"In return, I will teach you how to find agate."

"Um, is that alright?"

Xiao Zhi was overjoyed, but after all, it was someone's family's culinary skills passed down through generations; could they really pass them on to outsiders?

"Yes, but only my Donkael can teach you the mighty fangs. I'm sorry I can't teach it to you personally."

Of course, Xiao Zhi understood and quickly released his Majestic Fang.

Miss Yiqi whistled, and the largest Donkey from her group stepped out.

It carefully moved to the side of the majestic tooth.

Unfortunately, those enormous fangs still put a considerable psychological burden on Donjar.

But this Donkey was a professional after all, and it quickly adjusted its mindset.

After exchanging words in the language of black elephants, Majestic Tooth immediately nodded thoughtfully.

Donja is able to accurately locate agate by using his sense of smell and his perception of the soil.

Ash's Majestic Fang has a stronger sense of smell and affinity for soil than a typical Donphan.

After understanding the trick, I quickly mastered the skill.

He immediately stomped his foot, shattering the rock face of a small hillside nearby. Surprisingly, a piece of agate was found among the falling rocks.

"Majestic Tooth is truly gifted. Generally speaking, it would take him some time to train before he could accurately locate Manauton."

Seeing that Ash's Great Fang was successful so quickly, I was extremely surprised.

"My little Donpa still can't find agate properly."

"That's all thanks to Miss Ichi, you taught Donphan so well!" Ash exclaimed, showering her with compliments.

After thanking them again, Ichi said goodbye to Ash and the others.

"Waaaaah, take care, Miss Yiqi..."

When Xiao Gang saw the older sister leave, he immediately started crying like crazy.

"Okay, if you were serious, you wouldn't be disliked by people so much."

Quickly grab Xiao Gang's ear and lead him away. Now that Xiao Zhi has a way to find agate, of course he should start his digging project immediately.

After a whole afternoon of hard work, Ash and his friends indeed obtained a lot of agate thanks to the new ability of Majestic Teeth.

However, they are all of average quality and relatively small pieces, but they can still fetch a price.

Each one is guaranteed to sell for at least 10,000 Alliance Coins.

It's just not quite what Xiaozhi envisioned—the kind of agate that could fetch an astronomical price.

Just then, Kojiro and his crew arrived with the modified machine.

"Boss, boss, we've finished the machine you wanted!"

"Really? Then come and give it a try!"

While Xiongwei Ya can find agate, it requires using all four diagnostic methods (observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation) to accurately locate it, making it somewhat inefficient.

If a machine could quickly locate the agate, digging up a few more would satisfy Xiaozhi's needs.

The crowd gathered around, and without saying a word, immediately started the machine.

Amidst everyone's expectant gazes, the device unexpectedly started beeping right under Xiaozhi's feet.

"This is……"

Bang!

After a sudden, huge explosion, Ash and his friends, who had been standing in a circle, turned pale.

"You three idiots, I'm going to kill you!" Ash exclaimed, and smoke billowed from his mouth.

After so many revisions, this is the result!

"Ah—! Spare me!"

Suddenly, Kojiro thought of something.

"Wait a minute, boss. It kept making a sound under your feet before the explosion. There's definitely agate there."

The trio quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness, saying they wanted to trust them one last time.

Ash eventually had Majestic Teeth dig up the spot where he had just been standing.

While the magnificent tooth-digging was underway, Kojiro and the others prayed beside him.

"Meow, Kojiro, are you really confident?"

"No, I'm just stalling for time, hoping to live a little longer."

"What?" Musashi grabbed Kojiro by the neck.

"What kind of garbage have you invented? Why does it explode as soon as you use it?!"

"Musashi, you didn't do anything, how dare you criticize us!"

"Yeah, meow!"

The trio began fighting amongst themselves again before the final trial.

Ash, meanwhile, calmly waited for Majestic Teeth to finish digging, and pondered which leg he would break later.

Suddenly, a majestic roar came from the pit.

"Oh, this is...this is..."

Unexpectedly, after digging for ten minutes, Xiongwei actually unearthed a huge piece of agate that was brightly colored and well-preserved.

"That's great!"

Kojiro and the others' lives were saved.

Ash took the agate to the village of the Ichi people, where merchants who buy and sell agate often reside.

Finally, with Ichi's help, Ash's agate sold for a high price of 30 million League Coins.

Now Ash has finally swept away poverty and become himself again.

After saying goodbye to Brock, Ash and Misty continued on their way to their next destination.

However, they soon arrived in a forest and, quite naturally, got lost there.
