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

Kojiro was a little scared looking at the spikes behind the mask.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt. Wear them all, or I'll put them on for you!"

Upon hearing what Ash said, the three of them quickly pressed the Stone Mask onto their faces.

The spikes fused into my body after touching my face, and I didn't feel any pain at all.

"No one's name is allowed to be mentioned during the operation, understand?"

"Understood, boss!" ×3

Ash also changed into his bio-armor suit, and Charizard flew at full speed, quickly arriving at the target location.

However, carrying so many people at high altitudes was exhausting for the old jetpack.

"Well done, Charizard, get some rest."

The second son's residence is a town similar to Evolution Town, but perhaps slightly larger.

Even though it's nighttime, the mines next to the town are still brightly lit.

"They're still working so late at night." What kind of unscrupulous factory is this?

Moreover, the mine's defenses were extremely poor, with overseers chatting in small groups, leaving many blind spots between them.

The operation began immediately, with Ash and Meowth splitting up to carry out their tasks.

With lightning speed and practiced skill, Xiao Zhi quickly knocked out and tied up the security personnel around the mine one by one.

No one noticed anything unusual during the process.

"Arbok Black Mist, Dream Eater Hypnosis!"

The already exhausted workers all fell into a smooth sleep under the influence of the black mist and hypnosis.

And Kojiro and his friends were quite reliable this time, discovering and capturing Team Rocket members hiding in the town one by one.

"Why do you know so much about where we are hiding?"

The team captains of Team Rocket still couldn't understand.

What else could it be?

Musashi and Kojiro were the two best trainees at Team Rocket's training school.

Sometimes, when the teacher wasn't around, the two of them would be in charge of teaching.

Kojiro still feels a bit emotional when he thinks about it, wondering why he ended up in such a miserable state after his official debut.

"Is everything settled?" Xiao Zhi asked, leading the mine's security personnel to the meeting point.

"Mission accomplished, boss!"

"Alright!" Without saying a word, Ash immediately began beating up these 'prisoners'.

"Will you talk or not! Will you talk or not!"

"Ah, ah, ah... what are you saying?"

The squad leader was extremely aggrieved; this guy must be crazy.

"You're asking people to talk without asking anything? What are you even talking about?"

Didn't you ask?

"We've been waiting for you, boss."

This was awkward, but luckily Ash had the thick skin to pull the bruised and swollen team leader up from the ground.

"Tell me where your boss is!"

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

Deep within the Evolution Mountains, in a room undetectable by any detector.

The Mighty Giant and the Tyrannosaurus Rex, equipped with large root tubers, are having a heart-to-heart talk with the second son.

Yes, it's him tickling his feet again! (Really!)

Accompanied by his moans of pleasure, and the trembling Kojiro and his two companions trying to coax him into confessing.

In just half an hour, the second man had recruited everyone he could and couldn't, and also handed over their company's accounting books.

This guy has been spending money to bribe officials in the alliance in order to take over Raizo's company.

At the same time, a significant portion of the profits was also distributed to other suppliers, leaving the company with only 5000 million yuan in working capital.

However, it was also a lot, generating an additional 5000 million in revenue in one night!

The second son, who was on trial, looked at the burly man in military uniform who had suddenly barged into his house and slowly walked up to him.

Beneath that gas mask must lie a pair of bloodthirsty and cruel eyes.

"You dare to share the same name as my most respected Emperor? That's one thing."

"You're still not a magnetic brat, and you don't have a strong muscular physique! You're utterly wicked! I'm punishing you, you bald, Mediterranean-looking guy, to enjoy two more hours of this!"

What exactly is this person trying to do?!

"Ah~ Who exactly is the Emperor? Spare me!"

In the latter half of that night, Raizo and the others were finally able to get a good night's sleep.

Because all the core members of the second male company were tied up and placed in the courtyard of the Ibu family.

"I never thought you'd be in this situation, second son."

He was still wearing that flashy old man shirt and tight pants, but now Raizo's face was no longer somber, but full of smiles.

The Thunder, Fire, and Water brothers looked at Ash with eyes full of admiration.

Ash glanced at their loyalty levels; even the lowest, Mizuki, had a loyalty of 61.

He pulled out the evidence of the second son's crime from his pocket and handed it to them, while pushing Kojiro and the other two behind him forward.

"These three will temporarily represent me in rebuilding the company."

"As for how to deal with the second son and others, and how to report to the alliance, I don't need to teach you, do I?"

"Rest assured, Muscle God, we are very familiar with this. Everything that happened tonight was caused by Team Rocket's double-crossing!"

After that day, Ibrahimovic Company and the neighboring Second Son Company went bankrupt and reorganized into the Red Group.

The people in both towns woke up in astonishment, but no one knew what had happened.

But soon nobody cared.

The people of Evolution Town received their back wages, while the people of Second Man Town discovered that their working hours had been shortened, with a 9-to-5 schedule and weekends off!

Everyone cheered, "It's long overdue for a new boss!"

[Ding! Side quest completed: It's always best to have your own place!: Own your own territory]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Free Attribute Points +2; Unlocks various furniture items in the shop]

Back at the inn, Ash checked out the new furniture that had appeared in the system shop.

"Redwood...sandalwood...home teleportation device..."

"Oh, this is also furniture?"

Chapter Fifty-Four: Capturing Divine Beasts

Finally, he has his first piece of territory. Although it can't compare to a big city, it's enough for Ash now.

Choose a house with a huge yard in Evolution Town as your residence.

Xia, who had just entered the house, was still a little confused about the situation.

"Xiao Zhi, where did you get this kind of house?"

"I did a good deed the night before last, and someone gave it to me."

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

She believed that Xiaozhi wouldn't do anything bad, so she stopped asking questions.

The house is fully equipped and beautifully decorated. It has things like video phones, Poké Ball teleporters, and even a Pokémon ultrasound machine.

Ash was very satisfied with the fact that the house's courtyard was also a battleground for Pokémon.

He also took the opportunity to call Sakura with Xiaoxia to discuss the sale of evolution items at the gym.

Sakura, after all, was the kind of person who would hold synchronized swimming performances at the dojo, so she agreed as soon as Xiaoxia pleaded with her.

After I called Naz, she readily agreed, but Lija was a bit of a hassle.

Finally, Ash took off his shirt and struck several bodybuilding poses according to her wishes before Rika, blushing, finally agreed.

[Ding! Rika: Affection +2]

"I never thought I'd have to sell my male beauty one day."

But these sacrifices are worthwhile for the development of the organization.

Although Ash seemed quite pleased when he was being watched.

Doing business with such a large establishment can be simple in some ways, but difficult in others.

After all, everyone likes to make more money, but reputable old families cherish their reputation.

I generally don't easily get involved in conflicts of interest with people I don't trust.

The reason why the second son was unable to open up the sales channels for the Daidokan was because his reputation was too bad and no one wanted to pay attention to him.

Of course, Ash doesn't just occupy the gym's space for nothing; each store will give 5% of its revenue to the gym as a channel fee.

With these three academy channels, the Red Group's operations can now officially get on track.

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

With one worry resolved, Xiao Zhi can finally begin preparing for another very important matter.

He planned to complete the feat of capturing the mythical beast on the open space of this house.

After all, Ash had been looking forward to this legendary Pokémon for so long, and he was still a little nervous on the day he was about to make his move.
