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

Just kidding, Ash's Iron Head Pokémon has the Forced Ability, and the power of this headbutt is even greater than Tackle!

"Woo..." The young dragon looked at this scene in horror. When the baby dragon turned to it, it immediately closed its eyes in fear.

However, it soon realized that the baby dragon had no intention of harming it; it had simply helped it tear through the net on its body.

"Baby~" After that, Baby Dragon patted its chest at Lapras, urging it to leave with it.

But Dragon was still trembling with fear. It had just been separated from its parents and had not yet recovered from its fear. On top of that, it had been subjected to various forms of abuse by the pirates. Now it refused to trust anyone!

"Baby..." Baby Dragon rolled its eyes at the sight and decided to use Dragon Dance to go and challenge other pirates.

Sure enough, it prefers being a stubborn kid to comforting people.

The chaotic battle on the ship ended quickly. This rabble was no match for Ash at all and was taken down in no time.

Ash used some of the nets they usually used to poach Pokémon to tie the group together, and then they were submerged in the water along with the sunken ship.

As for the fact that the seawater here has been contaminated with the poison of the Crobats, and whether the Tentacruel that came with them might take the opportunity to retaliate... these are not within Ash's consideration.

"you…"

Snapped!

"A bunch of bastards!" The fat, big-eared captain, who had been dragged to Ash's side by his psychic powers, was about to speak when Ash slapped him across the face, breaking half of his teeth!

"This slap is on behalf of Chenglong returning the favor to you!!"

"You, Kanto, uh... lecherous demon..."

"What the hell?!" Upon hearing the other party's vague address, Xiao Zhi, who was about to interrogate them, couldn't help but freeze.

No... have I become so infamous?

And how did he become a pervert?!

All he did was confess his feelings to Serena, get a stamp of approval from Xiaolan, raise Lila as his god-sister since childhood, agree to travel with Xiaoxia, accept a bottle of perfume from Miss Lijia, develop a relationship with Nazja that went beyond friendship, and even save Xiaochun twice…

And when I was little, I sometimes imagined being gently woken up by Nanami-neechan~

The experience was quite rich, but it was all done with complete sincerity and honesty!

Most importantly, how did this reputation even reach the ears of a group of pirates?!

"Spare me! Please spare me!" Seeing that Ash's face was turning into a 'ferocious' demonic expression again, the captured pirates cried out in despair.

After the other party gave a rambling explanation, Xiao Zhi realized that he had misunderstood.

What that captain was actually trying to call out was... the Red Devil of Kanto.

It is said that this infamy has already spread throughout the underworld of the Guan and Cheng regions.

Ash is a trainer who rose to fame at a young age, once defeating Team Rocket's leader Giovanni head-on, and winning the Indigo League championship shortly after setting off on his travels...

Of course, these aren't the main concerns for the villains.

The reason they were afraid was because Ash's style of doing things was completely different from that of ordinary trainers, and he was even more brutal than those police officers!

Every time this kid makes a move, he tries to avoid battling Pokémon and prioritizes targeting his fellow Pokémon!

He runs rampant with his powerful fighting skills and superpowers. All his peers who make a living in this industry are beaten bloody by him, and some even suffer broken bones or become mentally disabled!

Moreover, his family background seems to be extraordinary. The Kanto League takes good care of his reputation. Almost everyone he arrests, whether they are from Team Rocket or ordinary hunters, is difficult to bail out and can only wait to spend their lives in jail.

In the eyes of all the hunters, Ash is a demon who bullies others, is ruthless, and never leaves any room for compromise...

They hate him, but they also fear him!

These guys can secretly boast that they'll spend a million to buy Ash's head... but whenever they think of Ash's immense strength and the scene of him being taken back to Indigo Plateau by the three legendary birds, they have no choice but to line up and admit defeat.

For example, the pirate captain Debo right now is filled with regret. Why didn't he check the almanac before leaving home? He had to run into such a jinx!

For him, and of course for other poachers, the Orange Islands were destined to be their last hurrah. Who would have thought that the Alliance's demons would arrive so quickly!

"Blastoise, keep an eye on these bastards with Tentacruel."

Ash ignored the scumbags who were now soaking wet; his only concern was the little Lapras in front of him.

"Ugh..." When Ash looked at him, Lapras immediately shrank back and curled up, not daring to meet Ash's gaze.

"Relax, I just want to help you heal your injuries, I will never hurt you," Ash said softly, carefully reaching out his hand to Lapras.

"Ugh!" Lapras spat out a ball of ice in terror, but then froze, fearing that Ash would retaliate in anger.

Ash, however, didn't seem to care at all. He let the ice shards hit his shoulder, but his hand gently stroked Lapras's head and horns...

"It's okay now, honey~"

Chapter 254 Joining the Team on a Dragon~

A warm current quietly flowed into my body, not only lessening the pain but also making my wounds seem to itch...

Little Dragon was astonished to discover that he was actually starting to get better!

It timidly opened its eyes, cautiously examining the boy who was treating it, seemingly finally beginning to confirm that the other party meant no harm.

"Just a little longer," Xiao Zhi said softly, trying to comfort you. "Let me treat you first, then I'll try to find your mom and dad..."

"Waaaaah!!" Perhaps it was a moment of relaxation, or perhaps it was the breaking of his defenses after hearing his parents' voices, but Lapras could no longer hold back his emotions and buried his head in Ash's arms, crying sadly.

"It's alright, it will all pass." Ash gently stroked Lapras's neck, comforting the poor child.

It was quite a while before the little Lapras stopped crying. When it looked at Ash again, its eyes showed obvious trust.

"Let's go." Seeing that Lapras had calmed down, Ash called Blastoise and a few Tentacruel, and they dragged their captives back home.

When he arrived at the shore of Pomfret Island, Joy and Chansey were treating three Lapras, while Lila and the others seemed to be negotiating with Officer Jenny.

"Woo!" Upon seeing the Lapras next to Ash, the three Lapras from before immediately greeted him cheerfully.

But the little dragon only responded timidly and then shrank behind Ash, refusing to show its head.

Aside from Ash, it is now very resistant to everything around it. These three Lapras are not its parents, and it wasn't very familiar with them to begin with.

"Oh, this little brother actually rescued Lapras... and brought back the entire pirate crew?" Officer Jenny exclaimed in astonishment upon noticing the entourage behind Ash. "My goodness, this is another big case..."

"Uh, wait a minute." Seeing Officer Jenny still lost in her own thoughts, Ash had no choice but to stop her. "Excuse me for asking... don't you recognize me?"

"Little brother, are you some kind of celebrity? Why should I know you?" Officer Jenny asked in confusion.

"Okay..." Xiao Zhi twitched his lips speechlessly, unsure of who should be embarrassed between the two of them.

Within the League, the number of investigators with independent authority is not large. There is only one senior investigator, Lance, and there are no more than five mid-level investigators in the entire League, including Ash.

For individuals of their rank, their personal information, including photos, is definitely publicized within the police system to facilitate their mobilization of local police forces.

Therefore, looking at the two major regions of Kanto and the islands under its jurisdiction, everyone else may not know Ash, but Officer Jenny is the only one who must know him!

Ash had no idea how isolated the Orange Islands were from information...

Even pirates know him~

"Please take a look at this, Officer Jenny." Ash immediately showed his identification. "From now on, I need the assistance of the Orange Island Police Department in handling this serious poaching case!"

"Intermediate... You're the investigator who defeated Team Rocket? I'm so sorry, I've been so busy lately and forgot to check the system announcement. Please forgive me..." After confirming Ash's identity, Officer Jenny quickly saluted.

"Is Officer Jenny very busy lately?" Ash asked, raising an eyebrow.

"To be honest, it's been incredibly hectic..." Officer Jenny nodded helplessly and complained, "I don't know what's going on with the Orange Alliance lately, it seems like poachers have become rampant throughout the entire sea area. I've dealt with two serious cases in just this week."

"There's nothing we can do about it, some people bring it on themselves," Xiao Zhi remarked casually.

Having just captured that pirate Debo, he called the recent Orange Islands "the last hurrah," and it's laughable that the people on the island actually thought they could keep partying forever from now on.

Kanto had been largely controlled by Team Rocket for a long time, leaving it unable to attend to the Orange Islands, located on the southern edge of the islands. As a result, these islands began to outwardly comply but inwardly defy them, and even went so far as to declare independence.

They thought they were safe and sound because the emperor was far away and the Seven Islands were just a distant land... Little did they know that the Alliance could easily deal with them in a matter of minutes!

Now that the Rockets have been forced to retreat from the Kanto mainland, it's clear to everyone that Kanto's next step is to reclaim the islands outside the mainland!

So the poachers definitely wanted one last celebration; were they really going to drag this out and face the Kanto Alliance head-on?!

This is a very simple truth that even a group of robbers and thugs can understand.

Those high-ranking officials in the Orange Islands who keep clamoring for independence are either mentally deficient or have extremely malicious intentions.

"Officer Jenny, send police officers to guard the prisoners and record the case's outcome." Too lazy to deal with matters concerning higher-ups, Ash directly gave Officer Jenny the orders.

"I will send all the Tentacruels that have been captured by the pirate crew back to the Rainbow Dojo in Kanto for release. As for these four Lapras, their groups have scattered and fled, so they can be released on the spot and rejoined by their groups during their migration."

"If we handle it this way..."

"What, is there a problem with handling it this way?"

"Uh... it just doesn't quite fit the Orange Alliance's procedures."

"I always follow the Kanto Alliance's procedures when handling cases."

Ash retorted calmly, "Besides, these pirates don't need to be detained locally either. I'll have Kanto send a plane to pick them up."

Officer Jenny wanted to say something more, but Ash ignored his overly 'adaptable' subordinate and dialed Rika's number on his own.

He briefly explained the situation to the other party, then transferred all the Poké Balls containing more than a dozen Tentacruels, and finalized the pick-up process for later.

Rika reminded Ash to take care of his health and safety, and that some of the items he ordered would arrive soon... Finally, she specifically asked if he liked the Pokémon food and energy cubes he had been eating recently.

Ash travels with more than a dozen Pokémon, and logistics support is always a heavy task. Since Nanami went to Kalos, Rika has taken on this job.
