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

Although she is usually very easygoing and doesn't pay much attention to the difference between men and women when it comes to Ash.

But her stunningly fair complexion still irresistibly drew Ash's attention.

Suppressing the urge to pinch him, Xiao Zhi coughed lightly.

"Xiaoyao, that's not what I want to hear you say. You absolutely cannot be as carefree as before."

"Well, I know."

Xiaoyao clenched her fist again, remembering how she had lost to Archie before.

"I absolutely do not want to lose the next match!"

"Very good, that's the spirit."

Xiao Zhi nodded with satisfaction, then looked around.

"May and Torchic are just too inexperienced. They should observe my battles more often to learn basic combat skills."

Although Archie is strange, he did do a good deed by helping Ash and his friends get to this plaza.

There were many trainers in the square, and Ash was itching to take a look.

"This is a rare opportunity. Let's have a good battle before we go looking for Treekia."

After restoring Taillow's strength, Ash immediately transformed into a social terrorist, challenging each of the other trainers present.

Meanwhile, May quickly followed behind him with Torchic and Max, transforming into eager learners, ready to diligently study every single one of his battles.

They were afraid of missing Teacher Xiaozhi's "secret teaching".

"Sister, Ash is an excellent trainer that even Dad acknowledges. You must learn from him."

"Of course I know that, and there must be many rules among Pokémon trainers that are unknown to outsiders. I've wanted to know that for a long time."

Before embarking on her trip, May crammed on reading a lot of urban legends about Pokémon trainers.

"Like how trainers will forcibly enter a battle as soon as their eyes meet, how money will mysteriously appear in the pockets of the trainer who wins the battle, and how the trainer's vision will immediately go black when all their Pokémon are unable to battle..."

She's always been incredibly curious.

"No, no, no, sister, these are just rumors spread by people who aren't trainers."

"Pokémon trainers are just ordinary humans at heart, there's no need to be so mysterious about them."

"is it?"

Then, to their astonishment, Xiao Zhi casually pulled over a standing stranger.

"Hey, now that we've locked eyes, let's have a Pokémon battle!"

"Oh no, Ash, that's not right. It's so rude!" Max exclaimed in surprise.

But to everyone's surprise, the man who had been roughly dragged over by Ash was not angry at all; instead, he excitedly took out a Poké Ball.

"Hmph, my companions are already itching for a fight, come quickly!"

And so began a thrilling Pokémon battle.

"Xiaosheng, it's a rumor..."

"Haha, this is the camaraderie between Pokémon Trainers, sister."

"Your transfer was too abrupt!"

……

Ash had a great time that day, having challenged every trainer in the entire plaza.

"Proud Swallow, peck attack!"

"Beedrill, get out of the way! Use your poison sting to counterattack!"

On the battlefield, the Turtle made a rapid forced landing, and then its sharp beak was aimed at the Beedrill's abdomen and launched a fierce attack.

Beedrill tried to dodge but failed. Ash's Taillow completely outpaced Beedrill in speed, and its aerial maneuvering ability was also extremely strong.

Beedrill's movement speed was completely insufficient to dodge the attack, and it was hit squarely by Taillow's peck attack, losing the fight instantly.

[Ding! Congratulations to Aoguyan for learning a new skill: Pecking (Power is twice that of a peck attack. If the target is carrying a berry, it will consume the target's berry and gain the berry's effect.)]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved the achievement "Hoenn Domination (Part 1)": Achieve a 50-game winning streak in the Hoenn region!]

【获得奖励：联盟币+5000；攻击+3；特攻+3；自由属性点+3；地区威望+5】

"Wow, Ash and Swellow won again! Counting the ten times they fought Archie before, he has won a total of fifty games!"

Watching Ash shake hands with his opponent after the battle, Max and May clapped their hands until they were red, cheering for the fight.

"Yes, the handshakes between trainers expressing friendship after a fierce battle really have a youthful feel to them!"

"Xiaoyao, is this all you think after watching so many matches?"

At this moment, Ash, carrying Swellow perched on his arm and Pikachu on his shoulder, came to their side.

Ash was in a great mood because Taillow had learned a new skill.

While looking at Ash's stern face, which resembled that of a teacher, Xiaoyao playfully stuck out her tongue.

Of course, she wasn't slacking off; May had learned quite a few battle techniques from Ash's many battles.

At least I won't be standing there like a fool at the start of a match like before.

"Speaking of which, Ash, you've already battled all the trainers around here. Shouldn't we go find Treecko?"

Of all the starter Pokémon, Katakuri's favorite is Treecko, so he's always been longing for it.

"But Archie said there are geckos deep in the forest, but nobody knows exactly where they are. Why don't we head to the next city first and look for them later?"

"Sister, with your current strength, what are you going to do for the upcoming gym battles? You should probably accumulate more experience in the forest!"

"Ah, a dojo competition..." Haruka's lips twitched.

"Oh well, we'll find a way eventually. I just don't want to sleep on the floor anymore!"

"I want to sleep in a soft bed!"

"No, we need to find the Treekie first!"

Seeing that the siblings were about to start arguing again, Xiao Zhi quickly intervened and separated them.

"Alright, you two, I remember the Navigator said there's a Pokémon Center nearby."

"Let's go there first today, so that Haruka can sleep in a bed, and Masaru can try to gather some information about Treecko there."

The siblings exchanged a glance.

"Agreed!" ×2

And so, Ash and his friends quickly arrived at the nearest Pokémon Center.

But as soon as Ash and his friends entered, before they could even ask Nurse Joy if there were any rooms available, they immediately heard a commotion.

"Are you kidding me!"

"What do you mean this place is mainly for treating Pokémon and can't treat humans? My face is covered in so many scars!"

"This is an actress's most precious face!"

A disheveled girl with an unusual hairstyle seemed to be making things difficult for Miss Joey.

Two people who seemed to be her companions were trying to calm her down, but unfortunately, it didn't work.

"Miss, please calm down. I can provide you with free bandages, but the Pokémon Center doesn't have the medicine you mentioned that can perfectly remove scars."

Miss Joy looked helpless. After trying to calm the woman down, she found that the woman was still being unreasonable and shouting loudly.

"I'm so calm, this is my most precious face! Why is it that every time my Pokémon gets so badly injured, it recovers completely after treatment?"

"Alright, Jessie, that's because Pokémon are different from humans."

"Yeah, meow, stop embarrassing yourself..."

Xiao Zhi looked at them in surprise, somewhat unexpectedly.

"They are..."

"Sister, Xiaozhi, look! Miss Joy looks like she's in a difficult situation."

"Yes, these people are really rude."

For some reason, Ash suddenly felt a little embarrassed after hearing what May and Max said, and quickly went over to pull Jessie and the others away.

"Alright, Musashi, I have the medicine that can perfectly remove scars. Don't bother Miss Joey's work anymore!"

"Who are you... Boss!"

"Boss Ash, I didn't expect to run into you here, meow!"

At this moment, Xiaoyao also came over with Xiaosheng.

"Xiao Zhi, do you know them?"

"Yes, it's more than just knowing each other."

"Sigh, it's a new little girl and a little devil." ×3

When Kojiro and the others saw May's face and figure, they immediately thought of Ash's past.

The three guys instantly understood and eagerly went forward to greet Xiaoyao and the others.

When Ash saw their expressions, he knew there was a misunderstanding (which actually wasn't).

I quickly introduced both parties.

Of course, he didn't mention that Kojiro and the others were former members of Team Rocket; he only said that the three of them were currently his subordinates.

After introducing themselves, the siblings immediately huddled together and whispered to each other.

"Sister, they actually called Ash 'boss'! Is Ash's family a gang?"

"Given his usual wild style, it is indeed very possible."

At that moment, Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that Xiaozhi had been willing to take the two siblings, who were like a burden, on his trip and had been so kind to them.

"Could it be that Xiao Zhi actually wants to use a friendly attitude to gain her trust first, and then steal her back to be his yakuza wife?!"

"So, should I say yes, or should I say yes...?"
