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

When Ash left the center, he left behind some Chikorita leaves.

"Chrysanthemum Leaf needs to take good care of herself from now on and stop pushing herself so hard."

Ash gently patted Chikorita's head, then got up and turned away without looking back.

Did he not want the chrysanthemum leaves anymore? No, of course not, that's called playing hard to get, kid!

If you want to become a Pokémon Master, you need to learn more.

"Chirp, chirp!"

Sure enough, Ash hadn't taken more than a few steps when Chikorita immediately hopped and skipped after him, affectionately hugging his leg.

"It seems like Chicory has fallen for you."

Miss Joey smiled as she watched them leave from the doorway.

"Perhaps it wants to travel with Ash."

"What? So Chikorita wants to travel with me?"

"whisper!"

Ash then pretended to suddenly realize something, took out a Poké Ball, and put the Chikorita into his Pokémon.

[Ding! Chicory Leaf: Affection +5; Intimacy +5]

"Alright, I've really tamed Chikorita!"

————Sunlight and Blazing Flames————

After walking all morning, Xiaozhi and his friends decided to have lunch and rest at the forest campsite.

Ash released the Pokémon to play together and started cooking.

"Ash, look! Once we get past this hill, Happy Town below will officially be part of Violet City."

"Great! Then we can head to the city center tomorrow to challenge the Violet Gym!" Ash happily took the map from Misty's hand.

"Speaking of Ash, what's the deal with that new Captain Lily from Team Rocket yesterday?"

In the past, it was just Yamato and Kosaburo, but now there's a powerful new enemy, and Xiaoxia is a little worried.

Moreover, Xiaozhi kept staring at that lily yesterday, which made Xiaoxia a little unhappy.

"It's just a bodysuit, what's so great about it? Bodysuits... I hate big drum bodysuits the most..."

"Well, Xia, I'm going to show you something. Don't be scared later."

After confirming that there was no one else within a 3-kilometer radius of the waveguide's sensing range, Ash took out a Sweet Ball.

"Come out, Lily!" Ash still wanted to pretend he didn't know Lily's true identity.

This woman always likes to play pranks on others, and now it's Xiaozhi's turn to play pranks on her.

A flash of red light appeared, followed by the sound of a large drum... oh no, a tight-fitting, wicked woman named Pear Blossom.

"Damn it, don't actually treat me like a Pokémon!"

"Eh~!" Xiaoxia was stunned.

"Someone came out of the Poké Ball?"

At this moment, the mask on Pear Blossom's face had fallen off, but she was still wearing exaggerated makeup, making it impossible to see her normal face.

After shouting that sentence to Ash, Rika immediately hugged her knees, stared blankly at the ground, and remained silent.

Her mind is in a mess right now.

"I was caught by a Poké Ball... I was actually trapped inside a Poké Ball."

"Could it be that I'm actually a Pokémon?!" Rinka was a little confused.

For the first time since adolescence, she was pondering the legendary ultimate philosophical question: Who am I?

The girl, who had a terrible temper and enjoyed teasing others, was almost in tears.

"Isn't that Lily? Ash, how did you manage to put her in a Poké Ball?"

Xiaoxia was incredibly curious. "I've never heard of this before! Aren't Poké Balls supposed to be able to capture humans?"

And using a Poké Ball to capture humans is just too shocking.

"This ball is extremely special; it's not an ordinary Poké Ball, and I only have this one. You can think of it as a kind of mobile prison."

“Lily is too dangerous. In order to prevent her from continuing to harm the people of the Alliance, I have decided to keep her by my side and keep an eye on her.”

"And I've already put her Poké Ball away, so there's no need to worry about anything going wrong."

"Oh, I see." Xiaoxia agreed with Xiaozhi's explanation.

Xiao Zhi spoke with such righteous indignation that even he believed it, and as a partner of justice, that's exactly what I thought.

It wasn't because I was thinking about Rika's shapely figure that I threw the sweet ball out on a whim, and unexpectedly it succeeded.

Xiao Zhi harshly criticized himself for this.

"Ash, Ash, how could you be so depraved? You actually succumbed to your own desires!"

It's actually just a different kind of possessiveness at play.

Xiao Zhi lamented that his spiritual cultivation was indeed insufficient.

"I need more practice to temper my heart!" I must challenge my weaknesses more often in the future.

"We should learn from Mahatma Gandhi and frequently and bravely test ourselves."

Moreover, in order to atone for his sins, Xiaozhi decided to transform Rika into a virtuous and good woman before letting her go.

"Hey Ash, give me back my Pokémon!"

At this moment, Pear Blossom, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

Now she has come to terms with it, even though it will be a dark chapter in her life.

But as long as I escape from Ash's side as soon as possible and never see her again in this life, I believe she will not make me remember her.

"Do you think it's possible to give your Pokémon back?"

"The criminals from Team Rocket must be punished before they can be punished!" Ash immediately refused.

"I'm not a member of the Rockets!"

"Someone said when they first appeared that they were the new captains of Team Rocket, right, Misty?" Ash pretended not to believe it at all.

"Yes, we all heard you say that at the time."

"Then how will you prove you're not from Team Rocket, Lily?"

"Amadou and his team can prove it!"

"We can't find them, and who knows if they'll deliberately protect you?"

“But…” Rika really wasn’t a member of Team Rocket; she was just saying it casually at the time, but it’s true that she helped Team Rocket.

I really don't know how to prove she's not a member of the Rockets.

Chapter 193 Pear Blossom's 100 Trials

"Ash, what exactly do you want to do to me?!" Does this man want me to be his servant or his pet?!

Thinking about the graphic novels she had secretly read, she was instantly filled with fear.

And because Ash likes to cook while exercising, he is now wearing close-fitting sportswear.

Pear Blossom stole a glance at Ash and was terrified by his muscular, virile body and the terrifying giant python.

Although Pear Blossom has a wealth of theoretical knowledge, she has zero practical experience.

It will break >﹏<.

"You seem to be thinking about something very rude."

While Rika was lost in thought, Satoshi also made his decision to her.

"I'm going to punish you, you wicked woman, so you can repent, reform yourself, and become a new person!"

"what?"

It turned out that it wasn't what she had imagined, and Pear Blossom suddenly felt a little disappointed.

"Shouldn't you just send me to Officer Jenny's?"

"No, no, no!" Ash shook his finger.

“Every time I put the Rockets in jail, they manage to escape within three days. I will never trust that place again.”

"Now I'm asking you to do one hundred good deeds around me as punishment."

"Then we'll decide whether to release you based on your attitude during your labor reform!"

"Just like the eight trials of Hercules in the legend."

There is a similar myth in the Pokémon world, and it is also called Heracross.

"Hera~Cro~?"

"I wasn't calling you." Ash casually tossed a jar of maple syrup, luring the silly Weedle aside.

Now that things have come to this, she can no longer bring herself to say that she is no longer part of Team Rocket, but rather one of the Elite Four, Rika.

If others knew that the mighty Queen of Evil, Rika, had been captured by someone else with a Poké Ball, it would be worse than killing her.

And if Grandma Kikuko finds out that she actually helped Team Rocket just for fun, she'll definitely scold her to death.

Juzi wouldn't get angry if I made a few small jokes normally, but if it's something that crosses my mother-in-law's line...

"Damn it, if I hadn't only brought two Pokémon, Houndoom and Umbreon, I would have already found a chance to escape."

Having grown up spoiled by her elders, it's impossible to get Rika to admit her mistakes.

Having witnessed Ash's exaggerated physical abilities, Rinka knew that she couldn't possibly outrun Ash on her own.

"Humph!"

She could only turn away and sulk, ignoring Xiaozhi.
