Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

...

"Whoa!!" The group was sailing on the vast and turbulent sea when they were suddenly drawn to a series of urgent cries.

"It's Lapras?!" Ash, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed that it was a group of light blue dragon-shaped Pokémon with shells on their backs.

They are now wailing and scattering in all directions, as if a disaster has befallen them!

Chapter 252 Job Comes Right Off the Door: Pirates of Gan Island

"Xiaoxia, Lila, you two go with Gyarados to chase Lapras, but be careful not to scare them!"

They encountered trouble as soon as they arrived in the Orange Sea, and Ash made a quick decision to split up.

He paired the two girls together, while he rode Blastoise to chase after the scattered dragons, pondering what they had encountered.

Ash initially thought that the Lapras herd was affected by the storm created by Mewtwo, but upon closer inspection, he realized that wasn't the case.

Although Lapras cannot evolve and appears to be a docile and non-aggressive type of Pokémon, it still possesses base stats comparable to starter Pokémon and has an extremely robust physique.

Generally speaking, when large groups of dragons patrol the seas, the storms they encounter can be easily calmed.

Moreover, even if they couldn't fight back, they could simply dive into the deep sea to hide. There's no reason for them to be so afraid that they've even broken up their group formation!

Therefore, this is most likely not a natural disaster...

Ash's guess was right. After he managed to catch up with the two Lapras in Blastoise and calmed them down, he finally learned what had happened.

These lacrosse originally followed a fixed route, migrating annually between Orange Island and Johto. However, this time, just as they arrived in the nearby waters, they were suddenly attacked by poachers, and the entire group was scattered!

Poachers again!

I've only just arrived and I've already run into work. It seems like Orange Island is in a real mess.

"You guys follow me for now, and I'll figure out how to find you some companions later." Ash decided to take the two Lapras and reunite with Lyra and the others.

Unfortunately, these two Lapras are not in good condition right now. Even if Ash can heal them with the power of Viridian, they will need to rest for a while afterward.

Besides, Ash can't chase after the other Lapras right now. The flock is clearly terrified and isn't even responding to their companions' songs. It's impossible for them to regroup in a short time!

Coincidentally, Xiaoxia and Lila encountered the same problem; they only brought back one Lapras... and they had to persuade it to stay.

Gyarados's appearance was too ferocious, and Lyra could only communicate with Pokémon, not completely calm their extreme panic. She could only watch helplessly as the dragons dived into the sea and fled.

"Those despicable bastards! Don't let me run into them, or I'll make them pay!!" After learning the whole story, Xiaoxia was so angry that she stomped her feet.

“It’s my job to deal with them,” Ash said in a deep voice. “Take the three Lapras and go to Pompidou Island to dock. Also, ask Nurse Joy to come and take care of them immediately.”

"Well... okay, but please be careful." Xiaoxia gritted her teeth and finally gave up the idea of ​​going together.

In this kind of battle, more people are not necessarily better. Ash can be very agile on his own, but bringing her along would actually restrict his movement.

Moreover, she was also very clear about Xiaozhi's principles.

The purpose of fighting crime is to protect the innocent. Rescued laevis are always more important than poachers; this is not something that should be put in the wrong order!

"Brother, the other side is a group of pirates. Their ship is equipped with cannons... and it seems that one of them, Lapras, has already been captured!" Lila cautiously reminded him before they left.

"I understand." Ash nodded, then rode Blastoise away.

These Lapras had clearly just been attacked. Ash traced their escape route back to where they were, and soon spotted a disgustingly designed pirate ship in the distance on the other side of Pomfret Island.

It sailed arrogantly on the sea, a main cannon and several smaller cannons mounted on its bow, heading in the direction where the dragons were fleeing.

When Ash used his psychic powers to project his view from a distance, he immediately spotted a little guy tied to the bow of the boat!

It was an immature dragon, its entire body tightly bound by a capture net, with two disgusting guys dressed as pirates around it, constantly whipping its neck and limbs!

The little one couldn't escape, and could only let out heart-wrenching cries with tears in its eyes...

"These scumbags!" Seeing this, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

He knew what those bastards were planning. They were clearly not giving up and wanted to wipe out the fleeing dragons in one fell swoop!

Besides being a special skill, the Lapras's song can also be used to communicate with its companions over long distances. After the baby Lapras was captured, it was obviously not in the mood to sing, so they began to torture it, hoping that its screams would attract its parents and then draw back all the escaped dragons!

"Blastoise, take me there!" "Kame!"

Ash's expression gradually turned cold, and Blastoise also let out a suppressed growl at the same time.

The pair made no attempt to hide, and charged straight at the pirate ship, cutting through the waves!

His actions undoubtedly attracted the attention of the other party.

"Boss Debo, there seems to be a little devil on the sea, riding a Blastoise towards us!" The pirate in charge of the main cannon, with a pointed face, immediately reported to his captain after spotting Ash.

"Blastoises, huh? Not bad cargo... Clams, fire and take them down!" The fat, burly captain grinned greedily. "Aim carefully. People are fine, just don't damage the valuable cargo!"

"Don't worry, boss~" the pirate clam replied obsequiously, while loading several cannonballs and Poké Balls into the cannon barrel, and then firing it without hesitation!

Boom! !

With a deafening roar, a cannonball carrying a scorching heat hurtled in, while several menacing Tentacruel leaped out of the Poké Ball!

"Hmph!" In response to such an attack, Ash simply raised his hand, and all the projectiles and Tentacruel froze in mid-air!

Bang! !

As he clenched his fist, the shells immediately exploded into empty fireworks.

Meanwhile, the Tentacruels were bound by their psychic powers and brought to Ash's side.

"Were you forcibly captured?" Ash asked calmly.

"Hmm..." The lead stinging jellyfish nodded silently.

Despite being bound by Poké Balls, Tentacruel is often blasted out like cannonballs, and sometimes its companions, unable to withstand the pressure, are bought, sold, or even killed. Tentacruel's resentment is immense!

"Follow me. You'll need to purify the seawater that might be contaminated by toxins... and while you're at it, drag the sunken ship and this scum back!"

Ash easily subdued the jellyfish and then continued to swagger towards the pirate ship!

"Oh no... this is terrible!" The clam on the boat trembled all over after seeing Ash's appearance clearly, and even couldn't speak properly!

"He, he is..."

"What's going on?" The portly captain impatiently squeezed to the bow of the ship, and the next second, he froze as if struck by lightning.

"Why him?!" the captain screamed in disbelief.

"The Red Devil of Kanto!!"

From his perspective, the boy was coldly throwing a Poké Ball, and immediately a purple streak of light flew towards him!

It was an unknown Pokémon. The captain couldn't see its appearance at all, but he felt his bow being pierced by the Pokémon's attack... and then it went all the way to the stern, leaving a huge hole!

"It's rotten...it's rotten!!" "Oh no! The ship is sinking!"

The crew members screamed in panic as they discovered a strange purple hull that was relentlessly corroding the ship!

A perfectly good ship is now capsizing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Chapter 253 The Red Demon, or simply...

After piercing the pirate ship with a single blow, the purple streak of light quickly rose into the air and turned back, rushing back into the Poké Ball at a speed too fast to see clearly.

"Well done~" Ash put away the Poké Ball, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

After overcoming countless hardships and breaking through the limits, the results truly lived up to expectations.

With Crobat's current speed and toxicity, Ash is confident that if he were to face the same Crobat in Kiku's hands again, he might still be no match, but he would never suffer such a crushing defeat!

And it hasn't even finished adjusting yet. When it truly emerges from its cocoon, a perfect Crossbat will surely appear in this world!

Blastoise, let's go!

"Kami!"

The massive water cannon blasted towards the sea with all its might, and the resulting recoil propelled Ash and Blastoise into the air before they slammed heavily onto the deck of the pirate ship!

"High-speed rotation! Water cannon!"

The intense tremor caused all the crew members to stumble, while the Blastoise seized the opportunity to spin like a top, simultaneously turning the disassembled water cannons into countless projectiles that exploded in the center of the ship!

"Pikachu~" On Ash's shoulder, Pikachu slyly released a wisp of electricity, incidentally enchanting the projectile.

The crew members around him immediately let out miserable howls. These bastards used to bombard others with cannons, but now they were getting a taste of being treated the same way.

"Tinker, Gengar, come out!" Ash also seized the opportunity at the same time, throwing out two more Poké Balls and calling on his partners to help.

The big pincers stood back-to-back with him, using fighting techniques to attack; while Gengar slithered into the shadows, destroying the ship's cannons and firearms, and incidentally confiscating all the Poké Balls loaded with Tentacruel.

"You go too...be careful." Feeling the commotion at his waist, Ash thought for a moment and sent out his Pokémon as well.

It's a good thing that the little guy likes to fight; Ash can't dampen its enthusiasm.

However, Ash wouldn't let it do as it pleased; instead, he clearly instructed it to go and rescue Lapras first.

"Baby~" Tie Touwa looked around for a while, and soon found his target. He ran over to him.

"Strange, what kind of Pokémon is this..."

Bang!

A guy who had just whipped a dragon was about to pounce on the baby dragon in a menacing manner, but the little baby headbutted him, almost making him vomit up his dinner from the night before.
