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

"I actually admire your talent as a scientist. If you could serve Boss Water Tree..."

"Shut up! ... In my heart, there is only Boss Crimson Pine. What do you mean by the ocean washing everything away? Only someone who doesn't understand the power of the earth would say such a thing!"

Perhaps because it involved the Crimson Flame Pine that she cared about, Huo Yan was so excited that she spoke much faster than usual.

The two sides were locked in a fierce confrontation, neither willing to give in.

However, at that moment, a strange crackling sound rang out.

"That's true. I really want to understand the power of the ocean and the land!"

Where did that sound come from?

"...Who...is it?!"

As he clapped, Xiao Zhi stepped out of the shadows. He wasn't going to eavesdrop any longer; those two women were incredibly long-winded.

Ash will have to ask himself what kind of information he wants to hear next.

When they saw Xiao Zhi appear between them without them noticing, both A-Quan and Huo Yan were shocked.

How did this person suddenly appear? Even their keen perception failed to detect it at all.

Huoyan was even more furious after seeing Xiaozhi's face clearly. She hadn't even gone to cause trouble for him yet, but Xiaozhi had taken the initiative to come looking for her.

"...Ash!"

"What, someone you know?"

"...That annoying guy...is a League...trainer..."

Although the two have been enemies for a long time, their tacit understanding is exceptionally high.

A-Quan and Fire Goose exchanged a glance, and immediately launched their Pokémon at the same time to attack Ash.

"Water cannons and flamethrowers are pretty powerful, but they can't directly attack trainers."

It feels a bit odd for Ash to say this, but at this moment he is representing the League to punish a female executive of an evil organization, and the light of justice shines upon him.

"Go, Little Black, use Dark Cyclone!"

Two energy pillars, one composed of water and the other of flames, attacked simultaneously and fiercely. The fire-breathing camel and the sharp-toothed fish had been well-trained by Aquan and the fire goose.

An ordinary trainer would be completely panicked if he encountered such a situation.

Unfortunately for them, they were facing an unreasonable combination like Ash and Dark Lugia.

Just as the Flamethrower and Water Cannon were about to hit, Little Black spread its wings and burst out of the Poké Ball, easily taking both attacks without even blinking.

This kind of injury doesn't bother it at all; on the contrary, it can ignite its fighting spirit.

With a single breath, a black vortex erupted from Little Black's mouth, sweeping past Camerupt and Squirtle, completely stunning both Pokémon on the shore and in the water.

"what?"

"...The legendary Lugia...Black..."

As a scientist, Huoyan knew more about the legends of various regions than Aquan, so she immediately noticed Xiaohei's extraordinary nature.

She bit her thin lips lightly, immediately abandoned A-Quan who was planning to take out a new Poké Ball to fight again, recalled Camerupt, and turned to run away.

"Hey, Fire Goose, you ran away already? What a weak woman!"

"........."

But Huoyan ignored her completely and just kept running away.

Ash didn't waste any words with them, and directly took out the two Sweet Balls he had left and threw them at their heads.

"Alright, my lovely ladies, we can talk about the rest later. Now, please come in quietly!"

As for when to say, it will be after Xiaozhi adjusts the focus of their camera (in short, adjusts the focus).

Ash's Sweet Ball was as fast as a bullet in his hands. Even Ash and Greninja, who were both highly skilled captains and senior officers of Team Aqua and Team Magma, couldn't dodge it.

A-Quan was hit on the forehead, while Huo-Yan was hit hard on the back of the head.

Both of them were easily hit by the Sweet Ball and captured.

After shaking it vigorously, two loud thuds were heard, indicating that it had been successfully subdued!

Chapter 391 There's a cow!

Ash walked forward slowly, leisurely picked up the two Sweet Balls on the ground that were a bit heavier than before, and weighed them in his hand.

"Hmm~ I didn't expect that I'd already tamed five bad women with my Sweet Ball!"

I wonder if I'll be able to assemble a whole team of evil girls later on?

Of course, these are all secondary. Just now, Xiaozhi overheard them talking about something called red beads and blue beads...

It sounds a lot like the crimson jewel in my hand, but it's also a little different.

The two orbs in Team Aqua and Team Magma's possession seem to have the effect of controlling Groudon and Kyogre.

"We need to ask about this carefully first, but before that..."

Ash patted Dark Lugia on the back. "Dark Lugia, go and freeze the area around the ruins with Ice Beam. After that, make sure to keep an eye on the entrance!"

"I can't let the people inside come out and cause trouble before I finish!"

"Okay!" (Understood!)

Whenever Ash is about to do something bad, Blackie becomes exceptionally cooperative.

Of course, Ash also seriously corrected Kuro, saying that this was not doing anything bad!

He simply intended to bravely sacrifice his young body to severely punish the female executive of the evil organization who was trying to destroy the world, for the sake of the League and the future of all the people in the Pokémon world!

"Hmph, hmph, hmph?"

"No, good children can't see what's coming next!"

"Ugh~" (Disappointed~)

————The Sword of the Cliff————

"Lord Huoyan, Lord Huoyan..."

"...Ah, please stop feeding me! Waaah, I can't eat anymore, I really can't eat another drop..."

"Um, Lady Fire Goose... what would you like to eat? Are you hungry?"

At Team Lava's drilling base, the Team Lava members who had previously explored the ruins have finally returned.

As soon as they entered the cockpit, they found Captain Huoyan curled up in her seat, hugging her knees tightly, with her head buried between her legs.

He exuded resentment.

Although the Fire Goose captain was exceptionally beautiful, she usually gave off a somewhat gloomy and terrifying aura, so no one dared to approach her easily.

Even Captain Himura, who was in the same rank as her, generally kept his distance.

Under the dim light, Huoyan looked even more like a female ghost.

When the door opened, the Flame Team's underlings were nearly scared to death.

But in order to report on their mission, they could only muster their courage and gently pat Huoyan on the shoulder to wake her up.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huoyan got up, she started shouting in a panic that no one could understand, leaving her underlings even more confused.

Upon recognizing the newcomer as her subordinate, Huo Yan immediately reverted to her usual cold demeanor, straightened her posture, and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Cough...Why are you back so late...How was the exploration of the ruins...?"

"I'm sorry, Captain Fire Goose, this is not the ruin we are looking for. It belongs to the Awakening Temple of the Earth's Incarnation."

"...Is that so...Go back as soon as possible...and report to Lord Crimson Pine..."

"Yes!"

After sending her underlings away, Huo Yan's heart sank when she mentioned the Crimson Flame Pine earlier.

The boss he once admired so much, he was now going to betray him and become a spy for the real master.

Before, her mind was only on Boss Crimson Flame Pine, but... Fire Goose can never go back...

“...I don’t want to do this...but...I can’t disobey...the true master.”

Because this is the master's task.

When Huo Yan thought about what had happened not long ago, that short hour felt like ten years in her mind.

I can no longer recall my former favorite, Lord Crimson, only Ash.

His figure, his voice, his presence completely overshadowed the place that originally belonged to Crimson Flame Pine, deeply imprinting it in Fire Goose's mind, something she could never forget in this lifetime.

Yes, and there are cows too!

This is the power of the blond title combined with the Minotaur's Soul.

[Blonde Hair: After battling a female Trainer, her affection level will definitely increase; the more intense the battle, the greater the increase!]

[Ding! Trait "Tauren Soul" lv3→lv4: Those who have a love interest will have their affection for the host increased by +4%! (Go hunt down those pure-love warriors who have fallen into darkness!)]

Ash is clearly a pure-hearted warrior, yet he possesses the Minotaur's soul—isn't that making him a kind of Minotaur too?! (Seriously!)

Firebird's attitude toward Ash went through the following stages:

First impression: Disgusting!

I'll watch it a second time, but I'm a bit skeptical!

This is the third time I've read it; I utterly despise it!

From then on, she completely transformed into a "poop-eating girl" who would die if she were separated from the Shiny Sea Rat.

But looking back, the joy that welled up in my heart was genuine.

"Um...no...it just hurts when I think about it..."

[Ding! Fire Goose: Loyalty +5]

[Sweetheart "Fire Goose" Loyalty: 100! (She could never betray you!)]

Meanwhile, the Ocean Team members had successfully dug through the ice and escaped from the ruins.
