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

After taking a cool picture of Ash, Kana immediately waved and ran away, leaving May, who was still confused, shouting.

"Wait a minute, Kana, explain what you just said."

Chapter 482 Teacher Serena (Clickbait title~)

Mossdeep City is the central city located on Mossdeep Island. Ash and his friends have to take a boat from the port to get there.

So early the next morning after the Grand Contest ended, they bought boat tickets and headed to a remote port.

"Yes, although it's a bit far from the main shipping lanes, this ferry is the fastest way to get to Green Ridge Island."

"It's a pity there are no direct flights, so we'll have to go to other islands first and then take a boat."

"Ugh, I really want to challenge the gym as soon as possible."

"Pikachu".

"Fool, fool!"

"Hey, Jirachi, don't use that as your catchphrase! Is that your voice?!"

"Hee hee~"

Today was Jirachi's usual time to relax and play, so it sat on Ash's shoulder next to Pikachu.

When Ash is feeling down, Pikachu echoes him by waving its little hands and shouting, which is both cute and infuriating.

After pinching Little Star's cute face and making it laugh, Ash sighed and turned to hand out tickets to May and Max.

"Hey Ash, why is this a ticket for tomorrow?" May asked, puzzled, as soon as she saw the date on it.

"There's nothing we can do. These are the earliest tickets available. The route is too remote, and it needs to gather a certain number of passengers before it can set sail."

"Besides, if you hadn't been so adamant about not taking the air route, we wouldn't have needed to take a boat at all; we would have flown there directly by air long ago!"

Ash gave them a resentful look, and May and Max immediately broke out in a cold sweat and forced a laugh.

They knew they had to calm Xiaozhi down as soon as possible, so they rushed to his side.

"Camping is actually a great idea, and Ash, look, we're going to travel around to other islands soon, it's going to be really fun, don't you think, Max?"

"Yeah, yeah! Maybe we'll even encounter a rare ocean Pokémon."

"A rare marine Pokémon... That makes sense, let's go by boat."

After all, the scenery along the way is an indispensable part of the journey!

If you're always thinking about quick in-and-out travel, you miss the point of travel.

Seeing that Xiaozhi had been persuaded to come back, the siblings immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at that moment, May suddenly saw several very familiar Pokémon carrying several boxes slowly walking past her.

Wow, I didn't expect a Venusaur to be this small!

"No, sister, that's Bulbasaur."

"Oh, really?"

Xiaoyao scratched her face awkwardly; she had originally wanted to show off the knowledge she had been diligently studying recently.

"Those two behind must be a very strong little Charmander and a Squirtle with a peculiar tail!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Those are clearly Charmeleon and... Blastoise? Oh no..."

Max was taken there by May, and for a moment he couldn't remember the Pokémon's real name.

"It's the evolved form of Squirtle, Wartortle."

"These three happen to be the intermediate forms of the three starter Pokémon from the Kanto region. It's quite a coincidence that I can see them all here at the same time."

Seeing them made Ash feel nostalgic, reminding him of his own Pokémon.

"However, May, you really need to focus on learning more about Pokémon."

"I'm watching!"

My mind was just blank and I didn't remember much; all the nutrients in my body had been taken away by that grandma's big coin.

"But whose Pokémon are these? They're actually helping with the work. What a well-behaved bunch of kids."

As Ash was reminiscing, a young man with chestnut hair, wearing a green short-sleeved jacket and a long robe underneath, hurriedly ran up from behind the three starter Pokémon in their intermediate forms.

He ran while panting and shouting, "Wait for me!"

Then he tripped over a very small pebble on the ground.

"Where did this Nobita come from?"

Ash was astonished; the fall was incredibly swift. He couldn't believe there was such a physical idiot in the world.

But then, Jirachi on Ash's shoulder suddenly flashed a blue light from its abdomen, and it excitedly pulled Ash towards the fallen man.

"What's wrong, Jirachi?"

"Fool, funny person! Funny person..."

Jirachi was still a child and didn't understand complicated concepts, but Little Star could still sense the aura emanating from the man that made it happy.

However, it was difficult to express it accurately in a way that Xiaozhi could understand, so he could only keep saying that Xiaozhi was an interesting person.

Seeing Jirachi acting that way, Ash assumed it was just curious about the unfortunate stranger, so he led the group to the fallen man and helped him up.

Xiao Zhi also helped him put the scattered items back into the box.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"No, it's nothing, thank you so much. My name is Jimmy." Jimmy spoke softly and weakly, looking rather pathetic.

However, he was very kind and polite. After getting up, he immediately smiled gratefully at Ash and his friends, who in turn introduced themselves in a friendly manner.

"Be more careful when you walk in the future. How could you fall like that on flat ground?"

However, Xiao Sheng still couldn't believe it when he looked at the pebble that had tripped Jimmy.

"This size is so big that even a child wouldn't trip over it."

Jimmy seemed completely unfazed by this.

"Hehe, I'm used to it. I used to trip over stones from who-knows-where every day."

This left Ash speechless for a moment, thinking, "This is the real Nobita."

But then, Jimmy suddenly took out a few coins and handed them to Ash.

"What are these?"

"It seems to be all 500-yuan coins. When I fell just now, I found them right under my palm. Maybe someone dropped them."

"I always find something like this whenever I fall down. This time it's money. I'll keep it for you, Xiaozhi. Thank you for helping me collect my things earlier."

"...Every time I fall, I can pick up money!" Xiao Zhi suddenly felt very envious. He wanted to have that kind of physique too.

Is that why Kirachi said he was funny?

Ash turned to look at Jirachi, but Starry was busy playing with Pikachu and ignored him.

"That brat."

Just then, the turtles finally noticed that Jimmy had fallen and wasn't following, and immediately rushed over.

The three Pokémon looked worried as they surrounded Jimmy, seemingly having a very good relationship with him.

"Wow, are they all your Pokémon, Jimmy?"

Xiaoyao asked curiously, and Jimmy immediately nodded.

"Yes, they are all my good companions on my travels. I'm fine, Wartortle, Bulbasaur, Charmeleon."

"Oh right, you must be new students here to register. Welcome to the Pokémon Referee Training Academy. I'll show you the way!"

"Pokémon Referee Training Academy?"

Ash and his friends were confused. After some explanation, Jimmy realized he had misunderstood.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, because apart from that professional school commissioned by the league to train excellent referees, there's basically nothing else around here."

"So I thought you were new students who had just arrived," Jimmy replied weakly.

“But the Pokémon Trial Academy…” Masaki suddenly became interested.

"Xiao Zhi, let's go take a look over there. Anyway, the ferry departs tomorrow, so let's skip camping tonight and see if we can find a place to stay!"

"That's true."

Official institutions like these are very welcoming places for Pokémon trainers who are away from home.

Trainers with a legitimate Pokédex are usually willing to help, making them a safe haven for all trainers.

Since there was an opportunity to save money, Ash naturally wouldn't miss it. He immediately asked Jimmy to take them to visit the academy.

As it happened, Ash also wanted to see what a school that trains referees was like.

The school was not far from the port. The group of people and their Pokémon each helped carry a few boxes, and led by Jimmy, they entered the school.

The environment here is quite nice, with a spacious playground, tidy teaching buildings, and the sounds of students running in the distance, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

This immediately reminded Xiao Zhi of his university days in his previous life. However, not long after he stepped into the school gate, a crisp sound rang out.

"Jimmy, thank you for helping us carry the supplies back. But who are these people?"

"Ah, Ms. Serena!"

"Salina?"

Chapter 483 Ultimate Luck

Ash was momentarily dazed, then instantly realized that this wasn't Serena; it just sounded similar.

The visitor was a young female teacher wearing a standard teacher's uniform and with short blue hair.

Upon seeing the dignified-looking teacher approach, Jimmy instantly became reserved, even blushing slightly as she drew near.

That dead look made him look even more like Nobita.
