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

Ash, with his thick skin, once again used Professor Oak's reputation as a shield.

Thanks to Team Rocket, Ash's popularity in the Johto region has increased.

Therefore, Ji Ke wasn't worried that he was a criminal.

only……

"Xiao Zhi, do you know how much it costs to build a professional breeding base?" Ji Ke asked suspiciously, still thinking that Xiao Zhi was joking.

"So it turns out they were questioning our economic strength."

Xiao Zhi simply pulled Ji Ke close to him.

Ji Ke blushed immediately, and then she saw the check that Xiao Zhi handed her.

"One, two, three... so many zeros!"

Ji Ke felt a little dizzy for a moment.

As the heir of an old family that had fallen on hard times since birth, she had never seen so much money in her life.

"This matter is unrelated to your duties, and Miss Ji Ke has worked hard to protect the Fire Dragon Valley for many years, even if she has not made any great contributions."

"This check is a small token of my respect for Ms. Ji Ke's hard work, as a fellow League Trainer..."

Hearing these words, which sounded like the whispers of a demon, Ji Ke's pupils and heart trembled.

"Come...come on, young lady, sell your soul to me!"

After a long silence, she finally responded to Xiaozhi.

"I'm sorry, I think that won't work! It doesn't comply with the regulations."

His heart was bleeding, even though Ji Ke himself was now dirt poor.

But she still felt guilty, as if she had bought the little dragons herself.

"They actually refused."

Ash doesn't know whether to be happy or disappointed that everyone in the Pokémon world has such high moral standards.

"Looks like I'm going to have to use my trump card," Ash said with a smile that didn't fade.

"Miss Ji Ke is truly an upright person. I respect you more and more."

"Actually, we came here on the instructions of one of the Four Heavenly Kings, to test you."

"Of course, it's true that we're taking care of Charmander. This will be done through a company that works with the league."

"Congratulations on passing the test! The money on the check is your reward!"

"The Four Heavenly Kings!?" Ji Ke was shocked.

Gently pinching Ji Ke's cheek, Xiao Zhi turned her towards the pear blossoms that were resting under the big tree.

"Take a closer look at that person, doesn't he look familiar?"

After Xiaozhi pointed it out, Ji Ke immediately began to observe carefully, and she actually recognized it.

"Although she's wearing heavy makeup, she is indeed Rinka, one of the Four Heavenly Kings!"

Actually, Rinka's makeup skills aren't that great; it's just that people usually don't recognize her because of the "universal will" of the Pokémon world.

After all, the Rockets can walk down the street in a place where Officer Jenny can't recognize them just by changing their clothes and putting on a wig.

However, most people can recognize it if they look closely.

At this moment, Rika noticed that Ash and the others seemed to be pointing at her.

"That bastard Satoshi, he wouldn't be talking bad about me behind my back, would he?" Rika quickly tugged at her collar and hid behind Misty.

With the Four Heavenly Kings accompanying him, Ji Ke's attitude softened immediately.

Furthermore, under the allure of Xiao Zhi's persuasive words and his financial incentives, she quickly surrendered.

Of course, Ash wasn't committing a crime; he was a champion of justice. It's just that the proper procedures were incredibly cumbersome.

He will ask Professor Oak to help him get it fixed later.

Professor Oak is so useful!

Moreover, he doesn't buy those Charmanders; he only distributes them to the trainers he approves of, that is, his subordinates.

The Philosophy Gym only accepts trainers with honest and kind personalities, and Charmanders will receive excellent care once they are in their care.

————The Gold Rush————

After signing the contract, Xiaozhi contacted Kojiro and the others to come and handle the follow-up matters.

Xiao Zhi also gave the card he had received earlier to Ji Ke, who promised to use the money in it to improve the facilities and environment in the valley.

Holding so much money, Ji Ke was still a little dazed.

Regardless of all that, Ash and Charizard are about to officially begin their challenge of the valley.

"Alright, Charizard, let's set off for the challenge!"

"Roar!"

Ash and Charizard immediately rushed towards the Charizards that were sleeping soundly in the valley, while Misty and Blossom also came over to watch.

"Wait a minute, Ash. The Charizards here are all very high level. It's best to start by challenging the weaker ones..."

But before Ji Ke could finish speaking, Xiao Zhi had already set his sights on one of the larger Charizards among the group.

The Charizard on the other side also noticed Ash and the old man's aggressive approach and immediately stood up, revealing a fighting spirit in its eyes.

"Alright, Charizard! Let's say hello with Flamethrower!"

"Ash, this one is one of the ten strongest Charizards in the valley."

The old Charizard had just finished greeting the enemy with its Flamethrower when it was blasted away by the opposing Charizard's tail swipe.

This didn't use any special skills, it was just a simple tail swish.

"This Charizard is amazing."

Even Rika, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, had never seen many Charizards this powerful.

The Charizards in Charizard Valley are all seasoned veterans who have trained for many years, especially those who can consistently rank in the top ten.

The levels are frighteningly high!

"It's okay, Ash's Charizard is also very strong!" Misty has always been confident in Ash's abilities.

As expected, Ash's Charizard immediately rushed back and retaliated with a tail swipe, sending the opponent flying as well.

Simple, pure, and wildly unrestrained brawl.

However, Ash was still somewhat surprised by the strength of his opponent, and at the same time, his passion was ignited.

"It's only fun when you fight against a strong opponent, so we can't lose to Charizard!"

"Use Dragon Claw!"

The Charizard opposite immediately flew into the sky, flapping its large wings as it unleashed an air slash.

The old fountain nimbly dodged it, waving its claws.

The dragon claw struck its opponent's head heavily, knocking him down.

The two fire-breathing dragons roared and wrestled together.

At that moment, a man with purple hair and a sunny smile arrived at the gate of the Fire Dragon Valley.

However, his attire was quite peculiar, especially the large cape behind him, which seemed to be printed with a lot of advertisements.

"Phew, after being lost for so long, I've finally found this place again."

"The challenge match against Cibana will begin in a month, so I need to make the most of my training time."

As he spoke, he knocked on the gate of the valley.

Chapter 199 The World's Number One Fire-Breathing Dragon

The battle between the old fountain and its first opponent in the valley lasted for quite some time, but in the end, the old fountain emerged victorious.

However, he also suffered quite a few injuries, with several new claw marks on his stomach, indicating that this victory was not easy.

"It seems like we should deploy Mega Evolution ahead of schedule." Ash originally wanted to save it as a trump card when challenging the strongest Charizard in the valley.

I didn't expect the fire-breathing dragons here to be even stronger than I imagined.

"Ash, actually, when training in the Charizard Valley, it's best for trainers not to participate in commanding battles."

"Let the Charizard hone itself in the wildest environment; that's the right way to train in the valley."

Just as Ash was about to take Mega Charizard Y to challenge the next opponent, Ji Ke suddenly appeared behind them and reminded them.

It seems that's true; Xiao Zhi did hear Ji Ke say that on the way here.

Upon arriving in the valley and seeing these powerful opponents, Ash got carried away and charged forward with Charizard, completely forgetting about the previous incident.

"Then you can handle the rest from here, Charizard, okay?"

If the trainer doesn't participate in the command, Mega Evolution can't be used.

Old Man Peng, standing to the side, suddenly revealed his beady eyes, his expression a little dazed.

But in the end, it still barked at Ash a few times, indicating that it wanted to give it a try.

"Okay." Ash released Ralts and came to Charizard's side, using Heal Pulse to heal it.

Healing Pulse was something Ralts just learned in Charizard Valley.

This is a tradition in the valley, because every Charizard that comes here to train is very prone to injury.

Since there are no Pokémon Centers nearby, the valley is often stocked with TMs that teach healing moves like Heal Pulse.

So Ash let Ralts learn, and the results were better than expected.

Ralts placed its small hand on Charizard, and energy fluctuations immediately emanated from its palm.

Even Pikachu, standing to the side, felt soothed and showed a comfortable expression.

The shockwave spread throughout Charizard's entire body, and Charizard's injuries were quickly healed under Ralts's treatment, with the newly added hideous scar on its belly also disappearing.
