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

Where are the security guards?

"also!"

Upon hearing this, the security guards at the scene immediately covered their buttocks and dared not approach.

"..."

The more composed second brother, Archie, immediately realized what was happening.

"Today is just a banquet for our younger brother Taiyi. Please state your purpose clearly."

"Actually, I am the God of Muscles. I have come down today to reward you."

Judging from their t-shirts and tight pants, the three brothers must be fitness enthusiasts.

Ash took off his shirt and started the 'Super Rookie 2' mode to show them what it was all about.

As Ash's muscles twitched, a strong wind swept through the courtyard, making it difficult for Raizo to open his eyes.

"Those beautiful muscle lines, that powerful aura! Could it be, could it really be the god of muscles?"

"It's obviously impossible!"

The third brother, Mizichi, punched his unreliable older brother and quickly released his water sprite.

"Water Spirit, use Water Pulse!"

But Ash didn't dodge at all, casually slapping away the Water Pulse and arriving in front of the Vaporeon.

Another slap, and the water sprite lost its ability to fight.

"This weak strength cannot defeat me."

They need to broaden their horizons. Ash put his hands on his waist and assumed the Kamehameha pose, gathering power towards the distant mountain.

"Ah~ Ah~ Waveguide Qi Gong Wave!"

This attack contained 80% of Ash's Aura power. The energy beam shot forward and then exploded with a loud bang.

A huge gash was blasted open on the distant mountain peak by Ash.

The terrifying power stunned everyone present.

Apart from the three brothers Lei, Huo, and Shui, everyone else immediately scattered and fled.

"It takes 20 seconds from charging up to unleashing this move."

Sighing inwardly, Ash realized he was still not strong enough.

Ignoring the fleeing people, he casually pulled out a bottle of healing potion and handed it to Mizchi.

"This is for healing Pokémon. We'll give it to the Water Spirit later."

Mizchi was still full of questions after receiving the medicine.

"Give me the medicine. Aren't you an assassin sent by the second-in-command company across the street?"

What second-generation male company? Xiao Zhi had no idea.

"I told you, I'm here to give you a reward!"

"Let's go to a suitable place and have a proper talk."

—He's the god of muscles!—

In a secluded living room inside the mansion, Ash had removed the disguise from his face, but his body shape had not yet returned to normal.

"What exactly does Mr. Muscle God want to do?"

The first to speak was Raizo, the eldest of the three brothers.

"You are all good people because you love fitness, so I have come to protect you."

Seeing that Ash still wouldn't tell the truth, Raizo had no choice but to reveal his own secrets.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Muscle God, our family is in a very bad situation right now."

"After our parents died, the second son of a gangster, who was once the company's biggest rival, tried to force us brothers to hand over the mines we owned."

"Not only that, he also hired Team Rocket to assassinate us several times."

"Colluding with Team Rocket? Didn't you report this to the League?" Ash hadn't expected Team Rocket to be involved.

"Of course it was reported, but as you can see, Evolution Town is located in such a remote place that it is on the periphery of the Alliance's power, and the Alliance is willing but unable to do anything about it."

That makes sense. Even in big cities, the alliance's police force is so weak, let alone in such remote corners.

"The oppression from the second son is getting more and more severe. He often secretly sends people to sabotage our production and squeeze our sales channels."

Raizo took out the company's profit and loss statement and handed it to Satoshi.

"The family is now close to bankruptcy and has even started to default on wages."

No wonder those security guards ran away so readily; they were broke.

"The reason we're holding this celebration for my younger brother's first duel today is to show the outside world that the family has gained another male member capable of fighting..."

At this moment, Archie, the second son who was staring at his family photo, suddenly spoke up.

"As you can see, our family is on the verge of life and death."

"You're so powerful, we can't stop you from doing whatever you want. We just beg you to spare our brother's life."

After hearing what they said, Xiao Zhi felt that he had come to the right place today.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Join my organization and let me protect your family's safety."

"The second son on the other side not only wants to take over your company, but also your entire family's lives."

"If you obey me, you will not only still receive half of the company's profits, but I will also guarantee your safety."

Xiao Zhi stood up, his tall and sturdy figure looming over the three brothers.

"How many times has Team Rocket come to assassinate you?"

"This is the 5th time already."

"I will take care of it for you."

For some reason, Raizo always felt that Ash's words were very trustworthy.

"If it can protect my family's safety, I don't mind obeying you, but..."

"There are no buts. All you have to do is believe to your heart's content."

"Come and trust me!"

After their parents died, the three brothers had been living in anxiety and confusion, but at this moment they only felt at peace.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your talent level has increased from Orator LV1 to LV2 (It's time to find a beer hall.)]

The orator's qualities are invaluable.

"My God, that second son of the underworld has teamed up with other evolution stone suppliers to destroy all of our company's sales channels."

"Even without Ci Nan, the other suppliers are unlikely to give back the share they've taken."

"Our company used to be the largest supplier of evolution stones in the Kanto League, but now..."

Now I finally understand why there's always been a shortage of Evolution Stones in the Kanto region; this is the root of the problem.

"Don't worry about that. And don't call me a god, just call me..."

Xiao Zhi doesn't want to use his real name yet, but he really doesn't have any talent for naming things. After thinking for a while, he finally came up with a name.

"From now on, just call me Crimson."

Ash actually has quite a few channels for selling Evolution Stones.

Those who would buy Evolution Stones are undoubtedly trainers.

There's no better place to find a trainer than in front of a gym.

Ash has access to three gyms, all of which are among the eight gyms in the League.

------------

That night, Ash snapped his fingers and summoned the trio of James and his friends.

"Hmm, where is this place?"

The three people each had a bowl of noodles in their hands, and it seemed that they had been summoned halfway through their dinner.

Ash looked at them speechlessly. "You didn't use all the money I gave you to eat, did you?"

"Meow, how could this be, Ash-sama?"

Meowth immediately rubbed his hands together and came over to pat Ash's shoulders, while Jessie and Kojiro were still frantically shoveling noodles into their bowls.

"Smack smack, we'll always keep Ash's words in our hearts."

"Alright, I called you here today because I have an important task for you tonight."

"You guys should be very familiar with the Rockets' style of doing things."

"Of course, we are the Rockets."

Ash has already obtained the location of the second son's company from Raizo.

Their base was also on this evolutionary mountain range, and on the other side of the mountain range.

He wants to resolve this problem tonight.

They released a fire-breathing dragon, and the three people and one cat sat on its back and flew towards the headquarters of the second male company.

Tonight's mission requires concealing one's identity, so Ash specially brought his rarely used Rattata, Dodrio, Baku, and Arbok.

He took out several black robes and masks from his backpack and handed them to Kojiro and the others.

[Stone Mask: You can't become a vampire, but it's welded to your face and will never fall off! (You should continue being human)]

[Price: 3000 Alliance Coins; 47/50 Remaining]

"What a scary mask, boss..."
