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

During the training just now, Chicory Leaf was the one who was swinging the leaf blade the hardest. The little guy is very aware of the danger now.

Because its contemporaries, such as the Fire Rock Rat and Blue Crocodile, have already evolved to the second stage, while it hasn't evolved yet.

Ash loves battling and powerful Pokémon, and Chikorita feels that if he doesn't evolve, Ash's love might be stolen by the other two.

Therefore, it is now training extremely hard, just wanting to evolve as quickly as possible.

Of course, Xiao Zhi noticed this too.

"Chrysanthemum Leaf, you've already tried your best, but if you overdo it and hurt your body, it'll be putting the cart before the horse."

"Whether you evolve or not, my love for you will never change."

"This is my eternal vow to you, my dearest!"

"whisper!"

Ash's firm words deeply moved Chikorita.

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

When it comes to coaxing Pokémon, a Pokémon Master needs to be a smooth talker.

Actually, these are all cheesy pickup lines that Ash usually says to Misty, but I didn't expect them to work on Pokémon as well.

Of course, everything said here is true; Ash wouldn't lie about something like this.

"Let's end today's training here. Everyone did a great job."

After training, you can have a friendly interaction with your Pokémon by poking its head hard, which will increase your affinity and intimacy with it.

Once the Pokémon had all run off to play, Ash lowered his head and began to ponder again.

The reason he came down from the sky so quickly was because both Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan 3 have a very serious problem.

That is, the battery life is too poor.

With both crystallization and flight consuming Ash's aura power, his mana bar dropped too quickly.

Ash wasn't entirely satisfied with the duration of Super Rookie 3, and he needed to find a way to solve this problem.

Ash's flight ability now allows him to use aura power as fuel, resulting in a significant leap in speed.

However, just like a high-powered fuel engine, waveguide power is consumed extremely quickly during flight.

The faster you fly, the faster you consume energy. In addition, the consumption of crystallization during battles made Ash feel that he didn't have enough energy for the first time since his Aura Power reached its maximum level.

But Ash's Aura power has indeed been trained to its limit.

"Is there a way to further increase the total amount of waveguide power...?"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Millionaire, Super Millionaire!": Please increase your savings to one trillion Alliance Coins!]

【奖励：联盟币+1；攻击+3；体力+3，自由属性点+4；索财灵硬币+666；解锁“乾坤一掷”功能】

[A desperate gamble: This ability converts the system's deposit amount into personal energy (based on the host's current total Aura Power; 252 million Alliance Coins can be converted into 1% energy)]

"?"

"Are you kidding me? What does this mission even mean?!"

One trillion is an astronomical figure. Even if Xiaozhi added up all the fixed assets of the group, he wouldn't have that much, let alone working capital like deposits.

Xiao Zhi's total monthly income is currently around 200 million Alliance Coins, even without the company expanding its business and with its past channel operations performing well.

Even if we calculate based on the highest return, if Xiaozhi saves 200 million a month, it would take more than 400 years to save up to 1 trillion.

"Damn it, the rewards for regular missions are usually several thousand Alliance Coins."

"And why is the reward of Alliance Coins for completing the mission only increased by one? Who is this supposed to humiliate!"

If they already have a trillion, Ash wouldn't care about this one League Coin.

The most important point is that 252 million Alliance Coins are converted into one percent of the energy. There are too many flaws.

Could we do it the other way around? Ash is willing to exchange one percent of his energy for 252 million League Coins.

Ash's stinginess has really kicked in. If he continues to consume energy at this rate, he'll really be spending money like water during battles.

Let's just pretend we didn't see this task.

At most, I'll give Sundae and Kojiro a good dressing down later. If we can finish it, great; if not, it doesn't matter.

"Perhaps I should try to find a solution from other energy sources."

Ash's first thought was about superpowers, since he still had a mission to complete.

Once you raise the affection and intimacy levels of one of his pinkish-purple Hakimi to 50, you can unlock your superpower.

With two different blue bars supplying energy, the energy shortage problem should be greatly alleviated.

It's a pity that although Mewtwo's affection level has reached 70, its intimacy level is still only 40.

Hakimi is not friendly at all; he's a real bad guy.

When I let the Pokémon out together, Mewtwo always stays inside its ball and refuses to come out.

What does Mewtwo actually like?

Instead of figuring it out himself, Ash decided to ask it directly, summoning the pinkish-purple Hakimi from the snow.

"What?"

Mewtwo has never been very friendly about Ash calling it out.

Although its body will obediently follow Ash's commands every time, it will always show its resistance verbally, which makes it quite a tsundere.

"Mewtwo, I want to become loving and affectionate with you. Tell me how I can do that!"

"what?"

Ash's question left Mewtwo speechless.

"Never!"

"Our relationship will only get better when you get hit by a meteorite!"

"What a strange question!" Mewtwo's face immediately turned cold, and it wanted to go back into its Poké Ball.

Suddenly, Ash and Mewtwo looked up and saw a meteorite hurtling towards Ash's location.

"What? How is this possible!" Mewtwo looked at Ash in disbelief, while Ash was equally dumbfounded.

Mewtwo really just said it offhand, and Ash really didn't do anything.

Where did this meteorite come from?

However, seeing that the meteorite was about to hit Ash, Mewtwo, despite his reluctance, used his psychic powers to stop it.

Then Mewtwo immediately returned to its Poké Ball, and the meteorite wobbled and landed in front of Ash.

It was then that Ash realized this was not an ordinary meteorite, but a large block of ice, inside which was a Sun Seed.

"Why would a sunflower seed fall from the sky?"

The commotion caused by the falling meteorite attracted the attention of the surrounding creatures, who all gathered around the frozen sunflower seed to observe it.

Suddenly, a strong wind picked up, and the light snow that had been falling slowly began to intensify, showing signs of developing into a blizzard.

"That's strange, the weather forecast said there wouldn't be any heavy snow this month." Xiaoxia looked at the thick clouds in the sky with great confusion.

Because of the existence of Psychic-type Pokémon in the Pokémon world that can predict the future, weather forecasts are always very accurate.

But now that the blizzard has really arrived, Ash and Misty have no choice but to quickly recall their Pokémon into their Poké Balls.

"Ash, according to the markings on the map, the only Pokémon Center in this entire mountain range is on the highest snow-capped mountain. Let's go there and hide for a while."

Ash nodded as he looked at the sunflower seeds frozen into ice on the ground.

“It’s a big problem if Grass-type Pokémon are kept frozen. It’s a good time to take the child to the Pokémon Center for treatment.”

Seeing that Ash agreed, Misty quickly packed her bags and prepared to leave, while Ash continued to look up at the sky.

"Xiao Zhi, what are you doing?"

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

At this moment, Misty and Pikachu came to urge Ash to set off.

"When Mewtwo and I looked up just now, we saw a familiar tail fin between the clouds in the sky, but it was too far away for my waveguide perception to observe it."

"Perhaps the appearance of the sunflower seed is related to it, but now the clouds are thick and I can't even find the figure from before."

Abnormal weather, and suddenly frozen sunflower seeds fall from the sky.

Moreover, Ash had a feeling that something was about to happen because of that familiar blue tail fin he had just seen.

Chapter 258 Articulated Bird

As the blizzard intensified, Ash and Misty, carrying Sunseed, ran all the way to the Pokémon Center located on the mountainside.

The Pokémon Center is not large; it's just a small wooden hut, but the workmanship is quite exquisite, and there's a plaque at the entrance.

"The highest-altitude Pokémon Center, the last chance to recover my strength..."

"This is the place, Xiaozhi!" Xiaoxia was just about to knock on the door.

Unexpectedly, a person on a snowmobile suddenly arrived in a hurry. Judging from her hairstyle, she seemed to be Officer Jenny.

Just as she was about to crash into the signboard, she managed a quick drift and brakes, finally coming to a stop.

The splashing snowflakes covered Xiaoxia's face.

"Pah, pah, pah, what kind of person is that..."

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't expect that trainers would come in such bad weather, so I lost control of the car."

Officer Jenny's voice was full of youthful energy, yet it sounded very familiar to Ash.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that this Officer Jenny, who was taller than the average Officer Jenny, was indeed an old acquaintance.

"Miss Meiqi?"

"Oh, Ash, Misty, and Pikachu, it's you guys!"

"What a coincidence, to run into each other here."
