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

Although his home is now a complete mess, Dr. Xiuli doesn't seem worried at all.

"As long as Xiaomei is not hurt, these things that can be fixed with a little money are minor issues."

After the uprising of the unknown totem subsided, the entire layer of crystal that originally covered the green grassland melted away, restoring it to its original appearance.

It is indeed very beautiful and deserves the title of a tourist destination.

At this moment, Professor Oak, the old butler, and others arrived at the manor in several jeeps immediately after the crystals disappeared.

Hey, Ash!

Professor Oak saw Ash's Charizard from afar and knew he was alright, finally putting his mind at ease.

He stuck his head out of the window and waved to Xiaozhi.

But as he drove closer, he suddenly discovered that the student he had thought was dead was standing there with his hands and feet intact.

Overjoyed, he got out of the car and ran to them.

The old butler, sitting in the car behind, was so excited to see Xiuli that he burst into tears.

"Xiuli, it's so good to see you're still alive."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Oki. This time it was all because of my mistake that I caused you so much trouble."

"I will prepare compensation for the residents of the town."

"That's alright, the important thing is that you're safe and sound."

Hanako and Kasumi also came along in the jeep convoy.

As soon as she saw Ash come out, Hanako immediately went up to him, lifted his arm, and touched it from left to right to see if he was injured.

Fortunately, Ash has extremely high defense; the most serious damage to his body was to his clothes.

He only had a few small scratches on his body; none of the previous attacks in the battle had been able to break through his defenses.

"Why do you always like to run to dangerous places, making your mother worry?"

"You inherited it from her. This time, it was because Mom ran to a dangerous place first that she got caught."

"Mom has her reasons."

Parents don't easily admit their mistakes in front of their children, and a simple "Can this be the same?" shut Xiaozhi up.

Then he started giving Xiaozhi a long-winded safety lecture.

There's no way around it, Ash is an only child, and Hanako couldn't bear it if something happened to him.

But what Xiaoxia really wants to say is that the ones who should be worried are Xiaozhi's enemies.

In all the time they've been together, she's never seen Xiaozhi bleed.

However, Ash has actually been injured before. The most serious injury was when he fought Mewtwo, and he even coughed up blood.

Xiaoxia didn't go with them, so she didn't know.

But since gaining the ability to be immortal, there are fewer and fewer things that can pose a threat to Ash.

At this moment, Xiuli also brought Xiaomei to Hanako's side and apologized to her.

Hanako, seeing that Shuri had returned safe and sound, finally let Satoshi go and happily chatted with her old classmate.

"I'm so sorry, Xiaomei, for causing you so much trouble this time!"

The apology was a standard bow, delivered in a very sincere tone.

Hanako came to the Green Grassland because she was worried about Mimi's safety.

Now that Xiaomei is safe and Xiuli has returned home safely, it's a happy ending for everyone, so Hanako naturally won't hold a grudge anymore.

Unfortunately, Snowdon Manor is in ruins due to the aftermath of the battle, and it will take some time to repair.

Unable to keep everyone there, they had no choice but to return to the Pokémon Center for the time being.

On the way back, Xiaozhi asked Hanako curiously.

"Speaking of which, Mom, why are you so concerned about Xiaomei? Is it just because Dr. Xiuli is your old classmate?"

Although Hanako is usually a kind-hearted person, she seems to have been a little too nice to Komi.

Unexpectedly, Hanako said something shocking.

"That's only one of the reasons. Our two families have always had a very good relationship, and Xiaomei is your fiancée."

"what!"

This time, not only was Ash surprised, but Misty and Rinka also became alert instantly.

"Really? How come I don't know anything about this?!"

"Because the engagement was made before you were born."

"We made an agreement back then that if the first children of both families happened to be a boy and a girl, we would get engaged."

"Moreover, Xiuli, because he was drunk, solemnly signed a contract in the name of family honor."

"So it's a proper engagement."

What an unreliable guy, Dr. Xiuli, he actually sold his own daughter while drunk.

Although Xiao Mei is very cute, and she has grown up to be quite attractive.

But Ash isn't a lolicon, "Could you please cancel this...?"

"Xiaomei might be sad if we cancel."

"She must have liked you a lot because you looked so blushing when she left."

"When Xiaomei was little, she loved to sleep on your abs. She would cry whenever I tried to take her away."

"That must be so small!"

But then Pear Blossom spoke.

"The Snowden family...this family is a very famous and prestigious family in the city-state."

"They are not only old noble families that have existed since the time of the kingdom, but also have a deep-rooted network of relationships and profound strength."

Even now, the entire green grassland still serves as its fiefdom.

"A marriage contract established by a family for the sake of family honor is probably not so easy to dissolve."

Pear Blossom felt a headache coming on at the thought of her rival having another child, but Xia patted her on the shoulder and said something.

No, it's not just one child; there will definitely be more in the future.

"Get used to it as soon as possible, Pear Blossom. You'll understand later that having many sisters isn't a bad thing." Xia's expression was like that of a saint.

Anyway, Misty's Cloyster has already been completely transformed into Ash's shape by Ash's Greatsword Assault.

Rinka will surely understand the feeling of her flower petals instinctively unleashing a powerful water spray attack the moment Ash touches them.

……

However, Ash's focus was on something else entirely.

"What? The entire green grassland is their fiefdom?"

"Yes."

"Mom, is Xiaomei Dr. Xiuli's only child?"

Hanako thought about it carefully and said, "Ever since Shuri's wife left, he has devoted himself to his research."

"There will probably only be one child, Xiaomei."

"Okay!" Ash decided immediately.

"Xiaomei, I'll wait for you for another twelve years!"

————Sanctions on Light Gravel————

After spending two more days on the green grassland, Dr. Xiuli returned the three Arceus Stones that had been repaired to Ash.

Now Ash can finally use these three stone tablets.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the item "Fireball Tablet": The power of Fire-type moves of the Pokémon holding this item is increased by 20%]

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the item "Thunder Stone Tablet": The power of Thunder-type moves of the Pokémon holding this item is increased by 20%]

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the item "Ice Slab": Increases the power of Ice-type moves of Pokémon holding this item by 20%]

Professor Oak has also cleaned up the black mist on Kuro's body.

Have Xiao Jian teleport it from the research institute, and Xiao Hei will officially return!

"It's amazing that you, Professor Oak, were actually able to purify the infectivity of this black mist."

Ash was very happy to be holding Black, who was heartbroken after discovering that his Black Mist ability had been removed.

"It's nothing. It's a product of human technology. As long as you understand the principles, it's still possible, even if it's a bit complicated."

Professor Oak spent a lot of effort coaxing Kuro into the machine.

They had finally become friends, but now Xiao Hei hates Da Mu to death.

As it left, Xiao Hei frantically breathed on Da Mu.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" (You dare lie to me, you old fool! I'll bite you to death! I'll give you back my power!)

Xiao Hei's dream of becoming the Demon King is about to be shattered.

Seeing this, Ash immediately took out a baby bottle and put it in its mouth. After calming it down, he put it back into the Poké Ball.

Professor Oak could only wipe his sweat.

However, when Professor Oak asked Ash what he wanted as a reward from the League this time, Ash made a very decisive decision.

"I just want to meet A-du and get some guidance from him."

Of the original "Guide me with all your might" quests, Ash has only missed meeting Lance.

If I just need him to take some time to guide me, I can finish it completely.

Professor Oak was somewhat surprised to hear Ash's request.

However, he quickly agreed, only saying that A-Du had only recently taken over as the champion of the Johto League and was still in a bit of a rush.
