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

The specially made gate in the secret base, which was said to be able to withstand tank bombardment, was slowly pried open by a grinning boy with his bare hands.

Several of the Rocket Team recruits around him were so shocked that their jaws dislocated.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you two. I've missed you both."

"Ah, you little rascal!"

"What's going on? We clearly abandoned our plans against you, so why are you back again?!"

This time, they made thorough preparations in Goldenrod City in advance to prevent Ash from committing the crime, and their methods were extremely covert.

Even Officer Jenny could only be completely fooled by them.

Furthermore, in order to counter Ash's amazing ability to find people, the secret base is also equipped with the latest information blocking device developed by headquarters.

"It should be foolproof!" Yamado and the others were completely baffled.

To this, Xiao Zhi can only say, what a piece of newly developed garbage.

It's not as useful as the waveguide shield that Kojiro and his two buddies developed in two days.

"Oh, my Clefairy!" Xiaoxi saw her Clefairy being carried and immediately stood up from behind Xiaozhi.

"You really are the murderers who trafficked Pokémon in the city."

"What?! Yamato, you actually captured the Gym Leader's Pokémon too?"

"Didn't we agree that we'd be playing it safe this time?" Kosaburo recognized the beautiful girl as Akane, the head of the Manjin Dojo.

Their appearance completely shattered the bright future that Kosaburo had imagined.

"I was resting on the street when this Clefairy suddenly appeared in the bag where we keep our Pokémon."

"Who knew he was the Gym Leader's Pokémon?" Yamato said, admitting he was also innocent.

"It must have been Clefairy's finger flick that caused Instant Transmission," Ash, with his extensive experience, immediately concluded.

Because this can also happen to Togepi occasionally.

However, "Egg Beasts" are generally well-behaved and won't use their finger-waving skills indiscriminately.

This Pippi seems to have a mischievous personality.

"Alright, you two hurry up and return all the Pokémon you stole, and I might go a little easier on you."

Xiao Zhi doesn't hold back when it comes to old acquaintances.

"Dream on, impossible, you little brat!"

After so long, it's rare to have a mission so close to success, and Yamato and Kosaburo still want to make a final, desperate struggle.

"Returning to the ranks of elite cadres, serving as branch minister, reaching the pinnacle of life, what a wonderful feeling... all of this was waiting for us."

"Go! Derubi, use Flamethrower!"

"You too, get in the pot, mud cannonball!"

Even villains have their own struggles.

Seeing that they didn't retreat, the other Team Rocket recruits around them also sent out their Pokémon to attack Ash and his friends.

"How tragic." Unfortunately, what awaited them was Ash's iron fist.

These Pokémon moves had absolutely no effect on Ash; he could easily walk up to them and take down a kid with a single punch.

Even before Houndoom lost its ability to battle, Ash was able to send Kuma out to finish off someone.

The other members are served by the Four Heavenly Kings and the two masters, Rika, Xiaoxia, and Xiaoqian.

The new recruits were blessed with an incredible stroke of luck.

The outcome of the battle was quickly decided. Ash picked up Saburo and Yamato and headbutted them, then threw them at Pikachu for a shock.

The entire Rockets team was thus rendered incapable of fighting.

Afterwards, Officer Jenny and her team were notified to come and clean up the mess, and Ash received another group of thanks from the police.

"Um, Ash, the gym challenge later on, it shouldn't be a Pokémon battle against you, right?"

"Ah, of course not, just a regular Pokémon battle."

Just now, Ash pried open the door to Team Rocket's secret base with his bare hands and defeated Yamato and his friends.

This greatly impacted Xiaoxi's worldview.

Look how scared that little girl is.

Upon hearing Xiaozhi's words, Xiaoxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, please follow me."

————Mud Bomb————

At this moment, in a secluded hut in an unknown wasteland, a former Pokémon poacher was living.

This house, which hadn't seen outsiders for over a decade, welcomed its first uninvited guest.

A large number of Team Rocket members dressed in black uniforms quickly landed from several armed helicopters and surrounded the area.

One of the tall, masked men, who was the leader, kicked open the door and dragged out a gaunt old man from inside.

"Tell me, where was the rabbi when you discovered him?"

Chapter 119 Full Gold Gym Challenge

[Ding! New main quest triggered: Regular Badge!: Defeat the fully-golden Gym Leader, Akane]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +5000; Stamina +2; Attack +2; Free Attribute Points +3]

We pushed open the dojo door together with Akane, even though it was a rare day off.

However, to thank Ash for helping her find Clefairy, Xiaoxi agreed to participate in the gym challenge.

The ordinary trainers at the Goldenrod Gym are all cute girls like Akane, including the referees.

"Speaking of which, both the Cerulean and Rainbow Gyms are full of female trainers," Ash said enviously. He was really envious.

His philosophy dojo only attracts muscular, sharp-headed men.

However, if the Philosophy Dojo were to recruit many female disciples, it seems like they would only end up as muscular, tomboyish women.

That doesn't even feel as good as a muscular man.

Soon Ash and Sylvia arrived at the edge of the battlefield and took their positions.

With a command from the cute blue-haired referee, the battle officially began.

Ash was the first to send out his Pokémon.

"It's you I've chosen, my disciple Xiong!"

Ash has decided to use Kushner to challenge the Normal-type Gym Leader; for today, he'll temporarily relinquish his mastery of type disadvantages.

The main reason is that Kubuck has been following Ash for so many days, it's time to send it out to battle and test the results of its training.

With a flash of red light, a serious-looking little bear appeared on the battlefield.

"Be!"

With a turban-shaped long hair, Xiong's apprentice immediately assumed a Wing Chun stance and got ready.

This pose was learned from Ash. Now, compared to when Ash first captured Kuma, Kuma has mastered a much larger number of skills.

It's not just about staring and breaking rocks anymore; he's also learned bodybuilding, tile splitting, and iron headbutting, so he's made some progress.

Xiaoxi showed a very curious expression when Ash sent out the Pokémon.

"Kuang Apprentice... is a Pokémon I've never seen before."

However, based on her rich experience and the way Xiong's apprentice made his entrance, Xiaoqian immediately came to a conclusion.

"This child is a Fighting-type Pokémon, right?"

"Yes."

There's no point in hiding this kind of information during a gym battle, so Ash gave a straightforward affirmative answer.

She revealed the adorable little expression I expected, and Xiaoxi also took out a Poké Ball.

"Although Ash helped me, I won't hold back. Come on, Clefairy!"

In the first round, Xiaoqian surprisingly sent out Pipi, who had been captured earlier.

As soon as this pink little guy came out of the Poké Ball, he happily hopped and skipped onto the field.

It really makes one wonder if it's capable of fighting.

"Pipi, Xiaoxi is a trainer who is good at Normal-type Pokémon."

"Xiao Zhi can't underestimate his opponent; they might have some unique skills."

"If you lose because you underestimate your opponent, I won't be responsible for your loss."

Xiaoxia, who was sitting in the audience, immediately reminded Xiaozhi.

After all, it wasn't Ash himself who went to battle, and the one sent was his apprentice Kushner, who was still training.

If he's too careless, it's not impossible for Ash to suffer an unexpected setback.

Knowing this perfectly well, Xiao Zhi immediately told his bear apprentice to perk up.

"Don't underestimate someone just because they're cute, bear apprentice! Tension all your muscles!"

"Be!"

Xiaoqian, on the other hand, confidently stood with her hands on her hips and gave the first command of the match.

"Pipi, use your finger-waving technique!"
