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

"Could it be that I'm hallucinating because I'm too reluctant to part with Bobo and this shop?" Genjiro suddenly slapped himself.

Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia quickly stepped forward to stop him and tell him to calm down.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement "Jokyo Tycoon": Used money to win over partners three times in the Johto region (Ji Ke; Howard; Genjiro, pay attention to how money is used!)]

【获得奖励：联盟币+5000；体力+1；防御+1；特防+1；索财灵的硬币+300】

Upon hearing the system notification, Xiao Zhi knew that this time it was a sure thing.

“It’s alright, Mr. Genjiro. You can think about it further without having to answer immediately.”

But unexpectedly, Xiaodu suddenly pushed the door open and came in.

"Grandpa, something terrible has happened! Many of our Bobos have suddenly disappeared!"

Chapter 239 Groudon Aerial Logistics Company

Just then, the phone rang, and Genjiro quickly went to answer it.

It turned out to be Nurse Joy from Okinojima calling from the Pokémon Center. After the two spoke, Genjiro immediately frowned.

"The medicine that Nurse Joy asked Pidgey to deliver this morning still hasn't arrived. The injured people at the Pokémon Center are still in urgent need of medication..."

"Miss Joey had no other choice but to call and inquire about the situation. It seems that Bobo and the others are indeed in trouble."

Everyone quickly ran to Bobo's hut to check on the situation.

“There are several Bobos that left this morning and were supposed to be back by noon, but we haven’t seen them yet.” Xiao Du pointed to several empty nests, her face full of worry.

Something's not right.

He picked up his binoculars and looked at the distant sky, but unfortunately, Genjiro didn't spot any Popo.

"This has never happened before, and we must investigate it immediately."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Flying Rescue": Please use flight to investigate the reason for the disappearance of the Popos and find them!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +2000; Attack +1; Speed ​​+1; "Flight" Trait Level +1]

Surprisingly, this is a rare mission that will increase flight attribute level.

After glancing at the distant sky, Ash immediately turned to Genjiro and the others and said.

"Leave this matter to us to investigate."

They immediately shook their heads upon hearing this.

"That won't do, you're guests after all."

But Xiaozhi's attitude was firm.

"Only I can find the missing Bobos the fastest."

With its waveguide sensing capabilities, Xiaozhi excels at finding living creatures.

“Bobos are also important business partners of mine in the future, so I can’t just watch them get into trouble.”

"Besides, the Pokémon Center is waiting for important medicine, so leave it to me."

These firm words were always so powerful and convincing. Although Genjiro was very anxious inside, he still chose to believe in Satoshi.

Xiao Du was still a little confused about "business partner?"

"I'll explain it to you later." Genjiro patted Wataru on the shoulder and handed Ash the map of the routes the Pidgeys often took.

"Then I'll leave everything to you, Xiao Zhi."

Poor Watari, he so desperately wanted to inherit his grandfather's flying house.

But now Grandpa's shop is going to be taken away by Xiaozhi, how sad.

Moreover, he brought the person here personally; I wonder what he will think after learning the situation.

————Air Blade————

Upon arriving at the rooftop terrace of Pidgey's Flying House, Misty looked at the clear sky and approached Ash with some confusion.

"Ash, the sky is so big, how are you going to investigate the Pidgeys' whereabouts?"

"Don't worry, I was prepared."

Xiao Zhi just called those three guys.

Sure enough, to Xia's surprise, a hot air balloon shaped like a cat slowly floated in from the horizon—it was Kojiro and his friends.

"Good heavens, how can Xiaozhi boss order people around like this?"

They came at full speed, and Kojiro almost threw up from the cold wind the whole way.

"He just acted on impulse and called us all the way from so far away..."

"Yeah, meow."

Meow Meow, who was controlling the direction of the hot air balloon, also complained.

"We just left the Rockets headquarters not long ago, meow!"

They were just called in by the Rockets' Bichon to work day and night not long ago, and they haven't had a chance to rest yet.

Moreover, even though Ash could easily summon them instantly with a snap of his fingers, he insisted on having them fly a hot air balloon.

With both sides exploiting their subordinates so much, the trio suddenly felt their lives were miserable.

"I can hear you, so don't complain to me!"

"How much salary do you think you're getting from me?!"

They really need a pay cut; they're just spouting empty promises and using the three-piece set of PUA tactics.

Startled by Ash's sudden appearance, Kojiro and his friends immediately put on fawning smiles.

"Oh, boss, you've misunderstood. It's our greatest honor to be ordered around by you!"

Instead of wasting time talking to these three, let them stay and continue discussing the acquisition with Genjiro in detail.

Ash immediately took Misty onto a hot air balloon and headed towards the route the Pidgeys usually took to search for them.

Once in the sky, Ash released Charizard and Noctowl, among other flying Pokémon, to scatter and help him find Pidgey.

He himself jumped out of the hot air balloon and used his flying ability to search for Bobo's whereabouts in the air.

The hot air balloon, controlled by Misty, followed behind Ash so that he and his Pokémon could rest whenever they wanted.

They had barely started when the night owl flew back immediately.

"You found a clue so quickly?" Ash's aura sensor had just been activated, and he hadn't found anything yet.

"Coo, coo!" The night owl gestured for him to hurry up and follow.

In fact, Ash's Noctowl has more sensitive senses than a regular Noctowl, and is more adept at using psychic powers and hypnosis.

The range that can be sensed by ultrasonic positioning is even several times larger than that of Xiaozhi's waveguide sensing.

It was indeed exceptionally gifted at finding things, and soon spotted a Boobo in the distance.

Meanwhile, in the sky some distance away, a hot air balloon similar in shape to Kojiro's, but with a pot-shaped balloon on top, was hiding in several thick clouds.

"A bumper harvest! A bumper harvest!"

"We didn't expect to encounter such good fortune so soon after we decided to come out on this mission."

The large bag beneath the hot air balloon was bulging, and Kosaburo's expression grew even brighter with each increase in his harvest.

Today is truly their lucky day; just by staying here, prey keeps arriving at their doorstep.

Moreover, these Bobos all carried some small items with them, and they even found several precious necklaces among them.

Not only can you catch Pokémon, but you can also earn extra money.

"What a wonderful feeling!"

They were tricked so badly by Bishas before, but now their luck has finally turned around.

When Rabi's Entrance collapsed, Ash forgot about them and they fell down along with the Entrance's remains.

I almost thought my life was going to end here.

But unexpectedly, they landed right in the Lake of Life.

The lake water's healing properties cured both of their injuries, saving their lives.

Moreover, despite their failed mission to capture Rabi, they were not only not punished by Giovanni, but unexpectedly received a bonus.

After they disguised themselves and sneaked back into town from the maple forest, they rushed back to the Rockets headquarters immediately.

He embellished the story, describing how arrogant and impulsive that idiot Bishas was, and how he didn't respect Boss Giovanni after capturing Celebi.

Then, with a calm expression, Giovanni used the information reported by Amado and Kosaburo to order the confiscation of all the assets left by Bishas.

Although Bishas and his direct troops were wiped out by the Alliance this time, resulting in a failed mission and a huge financial loss, Boss Sakaki successfully recovered Bishas's forces, who had previously been obedient but disobedient.

Even the multiple Team Rocket branches that Bishas had painstakingly infiltrated and established in the Unova region were brought under Giovanni's control.

When the profits were finally tallied, Boss Sakaki was surprised to find that he had actually made a profit.

Not only did the organization lose a major threat who always challenged its authority, but it also fully recovered the strength it had lost due to the loss of its master in the Kanto region.

The morale of his subordinates instantly stabilized, and now even the rewards they give out are much more generous.

After several months, Yamato and Kosaburo received their bonuses from Boss Sakaki again after a long absence.

But when they went to collect it, they were met with Sakaki's smirking expression, and the two of them were immediately terrified.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

"Could it be that Boss Sakaki has discovered we were lying?"

After all, he deliberately let Kojiro and the others escape, manipulated the information about Satoshi in Bishas, ​​and later even planned to abandon his leader and run away.

In truth, they do seem to bear a significant responsibility.

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.

Of course, Yamato and Kosaburo were overthinking it. The reason Sakaki acted that way was simply because he wanted to burst out laughing and was already starting to lose control.

Maintaining his authority as the boss in daily life is no easy feat for him.
