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

Although the amounts vary, the guarantees are all very generous.

With this carrot-and-stick approach, the kingdom's army has completely won over and swore allegiance to Ash and Sarah.

Holding both righteousness and military power, they naturally feared no one and were determined to make a big splash from the very beginning.

The first court assembly after the coronation ceremony.

Regent Ash absorbed all the hatred for Sarah, displaying an extremely powerful and domineering demeanor.

The case was immediately launched into a major investigation regarding Han Zuo's rebellion, catching the nobles, who wanted to give the outsiders a hard time, completely off guard.

Ash will not let any of those noble ministers who want to rely on their seniority and plot to sideline Sarah just as they did with the old king.

Today, the two are about to declare that a new era has begun, and those who want to be as arrogant and domineering as before will not be welcome!

Ash showed no mercy to any noble who dared to disobey his and Sarah's orders.

Especially several nobles who had previously been on good terms with Han Zuo.

He went even further, making an example of someone to scare others.

He had already collected evidence of their collusion with Han Zuo a few days earlier.

They even secretly slipped the most fatal evidence onto the person in question.

There are several recorded conversations inside, in which Ash, after activating his Timidity ability, personally infiltrated their royal castle's secret chamber.

I sat down and took notes while these people were talking to their confidants about how to handle their communication with Han Zuo.

Of course, they also secretly placed some extra evidence in their secret room.

At the morning assembly, Xiaozhi publicly announced their crimes, catching them red-handed and throwing them into prison.

This method may be a bit crude and simple, but it works very well.

Those nobles who had been stubbornly refusing to accept their fate were all dumbfounded when they saw Xiao Zhi pull out the tokens they had used to collude with Han Zuo from their shirt pockets.

"How is that possible? Who put it in there?"

Listening to the recordings broadcast by Xiao Zhi and seeing the irrefutable evidence, these bloated nobles suddenly suspected that their trusted confidants had betrayed them.

But no one expected that the culprit was right in front of them.

They were all stunned by Ash's terrifying aura and immediately became spineless.

Just when Ash was about to take drastic measures with a smile, playing the good cop, Sarah stepped in to soften the blow and save them from the death penalty, setting a perfect example of a benevolent ruler.

The two of them, working in tandem and employing both soft and hard tactics, managed to reclaim all the power that the old king had previously delegated.

It solved the most difficult problems after the new emperor ascended the throne: the obstruction of veteran ministers and the problem of centralizing power.

At the same time, by combining strict laws with leniency and wisdom, they established extremely high prestige for the two from the very beginning.

Of course, dealing with these old nobles is only the first step; winning the hearts and minds of the people is the most important aspect of governance.

Ash had naturally planned for this.

As the saying goes, to get rich, build roads first. Chihong Group has ample experience in urban construction and can be described as a master of construction.

Having them do the work will surely contribute to the development of the kingdom.

The capital of the Kingdom of Miraju is quite unique, located on the border yet very safe.

Because outside the capital city is an endless desert, it has no borders with any country or power.

Ash's plan is to build a highway connecting the capital city and the Hoenn League, directly linking the core of both cities.

To promote cultural and economic exchanges between the two sides.

At the same time, efforts are being made to manage this vast desert.

In this way, Ash can complete the great task of expanding the territory of the Miraju Kingdom while ensuring peace.

As for how to manage it, the answer is naturally to combine scientific methodology with Pokémon.

If we're talking about the immense power to transform nature in a short time, nothing is more fitting than the legendary, powerful mythical beasts.

And when it comes to legendary Pokémon, nobody knows them better than Ash! (Know-it-all face)

He has a whopping 16 legendary Pokémon.

In the days that followed, the people in the royal capital were stunned by Ash's antics, with several impressive Pokémon flying out of the palace every day.

Ash also specifically instructed them to act as majestically as possible when flying out of the palace.

So naturally, there was thunder and lightning, a magnificent spectacle that drew gasps of amazement from the crowd.

These legendary Pokémon did not disappoint Ash.

With just a single rain-summoning spell, the two Lugia summoned a massive downpour, easily resolving the sandstorms that had plagued the capital's residents for years.

At the same time, Articuno uses Ice Beam to fix the quicksand, and Zapdos then uses Thunder to blast open the frozen layer, bringing life back to the sand dunes.

Unfortunately, Ash hasn't caught a Moltres yet, so Entei has to step in and use its flames to melt the ice.

Once these prerequisites are met, the rabbi will then take action, sowing the seeds of life in the desert and completely transforming it into a forest.

In the northwest corner of the Hoenn Desert, thanks to the efforts of Ash and his Pokémon, the desolate landscape was permanently transformed.

The territory of the Kingdom of Miraju has increased by a quarter out of thin air.

If Ash manages to completely control the Great Desert in the future, the kingdom's area could double again.

As this series of events unfolded, the entire kingdom now knew, "This newly arrived regent is no ordinary man!"

To be recognized by so many legendary Pokémon is truly astounding.

Even the legendary league championship, supposedly created by celestial beings, pales in comparison. (True)

Even the ministers who had previously harbored resentment towards Xiaozhi's behavior no longer dared to act recklessly.

Their fear level and loyalty are both skyrocketing.

Of course, building spectacular highways and transforming vast deserts are all part of a grand, macro-level strategy.

These measures will take time to show results; at least until the Crimson Group establishes the new city in the new territory, the people will know how good Satoshi's plan is.

But the thing that had the greatest impact on the residents of the Kingdom of Miraju was the purification of several previously undrinkable water sources by the Eight Treasure Porridge.

As a kingdom situated beside a vast desert, Miraju has relatively lush vegetation, but its water resources remain scarce.

Therefore, after Suijun intervened, the living conditions in the capital were greatly improved.

At least people no longer have to be as frugal and stingy as before, even when taking a bath.

The Black and White creatures are incredibly powerful and imposing, able to summon wind and rain and blot out the sun. However, people are more afraid of and worshipful of their extraordinary power.

If we're talking about who's truly beloved, we have to look to Suijun.

After Ash completed the first phase of desert cleanup, he immediately rode his little black dog and carried Eight Treasure Porridge to begin a clean water pilgrimage across various regions of the Miraju Kingdom.

While bringing news of the kingdom's new king and regent, Ash and Eight Treasure Porridge immediately and effectively improved the living conditions of the local people.

With such a combination of kindness and severity, Xiao Zhi won the hearts of the people wherever he went in just a few days.

Sure enough, statues of Ash and Eight Treasure Porridge have been spontaneously erected by people.

The Eight Treasure Porridge was even placed in the temple along with the great god Pokobi, a traditional deity of the Kingdom of Miraju, and offered sacrifices by the temple priests.

This made the Eight Treasure Porridge incredibly proud.

"Hehe, I'm just so popular wherever I go!"

Then Ash kicked it away to purify more water sources.

[Ding! Eight Treasure Porridge: Favorability +1; Intimacy +1]

"Xiao Zhi, you are amazing! I never knew you had the talent to govern a country!"

"It's nothing. In fact, the principles of managing a country and governing a large company are the same."

"As long as stability is guaranteed, just do the right things as much as possible."

A few days later in the palace, Haruka was crouching under a cluster of blooming flowers, her face in her hands, intently watching Ash train.

She never expected to see Xiaozhi like this again; his powerful and commanding demeanor was very different from when he was traveling.

He is more capable and mature. Although his expression is somewhat intimidating when facing ministers, he has a unique kind of handsomeness.

However, Xiaoyao was so engrossed in gazing at Xiaozhi's profile that she became completely absorbed.

It wasn't until Misty coughed lightly after arriving that Haruka realized what was happening, and quickly blushed as she took her Pokémon to continue training.

"So, what does our Regent want with me?"

Xiaoxia's tone now carried a hint of jealousy.

Last night, she saw that Sarah's lower abdomen had been tattooed with a silver pattern that only she had ever had before.

Although it's not a big deal, it's just the phrase "for XX only," a little bit of fun between couples.

But for some reason, I feel a sense of jealousy, as if something of mine has been taken away from me.

Ash, a guy whose head is full of muscles, naturally didn't understand Misty's subtle thoughts at that moment.

He silently finished his last one-handed push-up of the day, then took a Light Stone from his pocket and handed it to Xia.

"Here, this is a gift for you, an item that can evolve Togekiss."

"Pokkiku?"

“That’s right, I specifically asked Professor Oak about its evolutionary conditions.”

Ash specifically asked Sundae to deliver this.

Xiaoxia took the Stone of Light and said with some surprise.

"It's kind of you to remember Pokkiku, thank you."

After saying that, Xiaoxia placed the Light Stone directly on Togekiss beside her.

A flash of light appeared, and Togekiss evolved into Togekiss.

Its original small wings have become bigger, and its whole body has become a little chubby, like a soft big cloud or a small white airplane.

Xiaoxia's top-tier combat power has increased by one point again.

The evolved Togekiss was quite happy, flying freely in the sky like a butterfly.
