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

"Trying to figure out how to argue? No use, I have all the evidence." Ash snapped his fingers, and Alakazam teleported into the field, casually tossing the three corpses lying on the ground.

A non-mainstream youth, a chuunibyou blond boy, and a Pokémon with glasses.

"Is that really Zaobo? This is... Gladion, what did you do to him?!" Upon seeing Zaobo, Lusamine's pupils constricted, but she was quickly drawn to her unconscious son.

"She's just asleep, she'll wake up in a few hours... Oh, by the way, if you want more, I have other stuff here~"

As he spoke, Ash took out a silver-white commemorative ball and summoned a strange, spliced ​​creature with a head restraint, bird claws, dog legs, and a fish tail.

As soon as the Pokémon landed, it swung its sharp front claws at Ash, but Ash easily dodged it and then returned it to its Poké Ball.

"This is its type: Null. It's an artificial Pokémon created by you using data stolen from the Sinnoh Canyon Library, modeled after the creator god... It was created as a Beast Slayer, with the purpose of hunting down all Ultra Beasts! And its trainer is none other than Gladion!"

"Mrs. Rosamune, your Aether Foundation has been conducting extremely risky experiments on the Ultra Void for seven years... Even after Mr. Moen's accident, you did not stop! You colluded with Team Skull, concealed the truth from the Kanto Alliance, and indeed opened the Ultra Void four years ago!"

"Even after learning of Mr. Moen's whereabouts, this research has not stopped... Recently, it has even intensified, triggering two consecutive invasions of alien beasts in a short period of time!"

"How else do you intend to argue about all of this?!"

Chapter 421 Agreement Reached with the Ether Foundation!

Forget about making excuses, Rosamund couldn't even bring herself to deny it.

Ash's offensive was too fierce. Lusamine never expected that he would use his ultimate move repeatedly without any cooldown!

With so many charges coming at her all at once, she had no time to deal with them, and there were many things she was completely unaware of!

For example, Gladion joined the Skull Team, Zaobo acted on his own initiative, and in Zaobo's words... the BKP that should have been abolished... which is the Beast Slayer Project.

Lusamine doesn't know why the Attribute: Void came into being and why she was brought into the world by her son; she also knows nothing about the opening of the Ultimate Cave four years ago and the two most recent times.

But she understood that if what Xiaozhi said was true, then she and the Ether Foundation would be doomed!

"Rosamina, did you really do all this behind our backs...?"

“I…” Turning to look at Barnett who had asked the question, and then at the shocked expressions of Bick and Moen, the isolated and helpless Rosamune could no longer maintain her strong woman aura, and her whole being wavered to the extreme.

She desperately wanted to defend herself, but she knew in her heart that with such overwhelming evidence, no amount of explanation would be of any use.

Ash, who was originally just a member of the Kanto faction, has now become the island king of Poni Island... This is equivalent to her offending two major forces, one from outside and one from the mainland!

If she continues to be stubborn, not only will she suffer the consequences, but the entire Ether Foundation could also be destroyed!

“Mr. Ash, I…” Lusamine’s face showed obvious dejection.

But before he could even utter the words of confession, Xiao Zhi let out a soft sigh.

"Forget it, I don't want to pretend anymore." Ash shook his head listlessly. "Mrs. Lusamine, most of the accusations I just made up actually have nothing to do with you. Gladion ran away from home, you don't know his current situation, and his joining Team Skull was just a coincidence."

"Zaobo went to him on his own initiative, and not to save him, but to destroy evidence and erase a part of his memory. Four years ago, Zaobo opened the Ultra Hole without permission. Your children were attacked by Nihilego at that time. Fortunately, the type: Empty Hands saved Lillie, but this caused her to lose her memory and could no longer touch Pokémon."

"The recent opening of the Ultimate Cavern has nothing to do with the Aether Foundation; it's the work of other forces. From beginning to end, apart from refusing to stop your research and hiding the experimental data with Guzma, you haven't really done anything wrong."

The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire room relaxed.

Rosamina slumped weakly in the chair, her expression a mixture of confusion and anger, but mostly a sense of relief and relief.

Moen, Biko, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

That's terrifying...

They all thought the Ethereum Foundation was about to become history.

"Ash, why are you making jokes like that out of the blue?" Barnett wiped the sweat from her brow and tried to smooth things over, feigning annoyance.

"Because I can't stand it!" Ash growled irritably, causing everyone's expressions to tighten again.

"Lady Lusamine knows perfectly well what kind of disaster the Ultimate Energy Riot will cause! But even though she has already lost her husband, she still has no waning ambition for the Ultimate Space and keeps making excuses and shirking responsibility to me and Kanto!"

"I'm not afraid to be blunt: what I just said, and what I said to Mr. Moen, was my final show of sincerity... If Mrs. Rosamune doesn't appreciate it, I can only assume that those accusations are true!!"

With things having come to this point, Ash issued an ultimatum, and Lusamine had no other choice!

"I...have a question." After a long silence, Lusamine asked seriously, "Why did Zaobo act on his own initiative? Is he connected with the other forces you mentioned?"

"He was a traitor from the very beginning!" Ash nodded solemnly. "Based on the intelligence we have so far, he is likely serving the Galar faction, possibly the elite or even the royal family! All the experimental data related to the Ultra Vault and Ultra Beast Slayer have been leaked by him, and they may have even created Ultra Beast Slayer themselves!"

Ash is not exaggerating. You should know that in the game, players can get the attribute "empty" in the Battle Tower.

Its illustration states that someone stole top-secret research data, which led to its successful creation in the Galar region!

"Furthermore, there's something else... The ultimate energy riot seven years ago might not have been caused by your experiments, but rather by that mysterious force!"

"What did you say?! Ugh..." Lusamine instantly became furious, but after Moen grabbed her hand, she quickly regained her composure.

"Rosamina, it's all over now, and I'm back..."

Upon hearing Moen's words, Lusamine finally lowered her head.

“Ash, may I call you that…” When she looked up at Ash again, there was a clear sense of relief in her eyes. “Moen actually told me that you are a very good kid, and that with you in charge, you can definitely make the power of the Ultra Dimension controllable and prevent such tragedies from happening again… But because of my ambition, I never took it seriously.”

"But now, I'm completely convinced. I will grant you all your requests. From this day forward, all affairs of the Ether Foundation will be under your supervision! I will also relinquish my position as chairman, handing it over to Biko..."

"Chairperson!" Biko exclaimed anxiously upon hearing this, but Lusamine stopped her.

"Ash, I promise I'll keep everything I've said... but you have to agree to one condition!" Lusamine looked at Ash seriously. "Please be sure to find out the hidden force in the shadows and help our family get justice!"

"This is my job," Xiao Zhi agreed without hesitation.

Galar's faction is, by any measure, hostile to him.

"That's good. I'll leave everything to you. Now, I plan to go back to my family and enjoy my reunion with Moen."

At this point, Rosamund's initially happy demeanor gradually turned into one of self-reproach.

"I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother all these years, and I owe Gladgio and Lillie so much... I'm not a good mother. What happened to my children was kept from me, and I let them drift away from me! From now on, I want to make it up to them as much as possible..."

Gladion, who was lying motionless, twitched almost imperceptibly between the eyebrows...

“That’s actually a good thing. You’ve really worked too hard these past few years, and you deserve a good rest.” Barnett agreed with the decision. While Rosamund was undoubtedly a successful and glamorous woman, very few people knew how hard she had worked all these years.

"I understand... From now on, I will fully cooperate with Mr. Ash's work." Beeko softly agreed, which can be considered as the entire Aether Foundation officially surrendering!

"Miss Beeko, it's a pleasure to work with you~" Ash shook hands with her, finally feeling relieved.

The "stick and the sweet date" approach may be old-fashioned, but it's undeniably effective.

From this day forward, the Ether Foundation will be completely united with him... and the previously loosely organized Alora has also begun to unite as one!

Chapter 422 I, Ash, am eleven years old and already plotting to join the League

With the Ether Foundation deal officially settled, Lusamine and her husband helped the lifeless Gladion to his feet, and the family happily returned to Melemele Island for a reunion.

Lusamine didn't mention a word about how to deal with Zaobo, the traitor, leaving it entirely to Ash.

Before they left, Ash asked about Guzma's whereabouts... after all, according to the information he had gathered, Guzma was quite fond of Lusamine.

"I was just kidding him," Rosamund said honestly, a hint of disdain on her face. "As long as I flattered him about how powerful he was, he was willing to do things for me. Why not?"

"Okay." Ash shrugged.

Guzma did indeed have a sense of loyalty to those who understand him, but unfortunately, he met the wrong person.

Even if Rosamune is just an animated version, he still can't escape being used by the other party.

“I’m also planning to go back.” Barnett then said goodbye. “You should be going to Melemele Island soon, right? Kukui keeps asking me about it.”

"No... he's bothering you, but you can't just ask about this."

Ash grinned mischievously, making Barnet blush bright red... but he quickly regained his composure and said that he would definitely go to Melemele Island soon.

Ash has already laid the groundwork for establishing the alliance, so it's time to talk to Kukui, the real deal.

After Barnett and Beeko left, only Ash's family and two guys pretending to be dead were left in the house.

Ash instructed Alakazam to take Zaobo away and keep him under guard, while giving Guzma a nonchalant glance.

"Hey, that's enough. How long are you going to stay lying on the ground?"

Guzma didn't speak, but sprang up from the ground, his face showing obvious anger and resentment.

Ash didn't completely hypnotize him; he just wanted him to hear Lusamine's true opinion of him.

“I know you’re not happy about this, but that’s the truth… You were just a pawn being used. Now that her husband is back, you’re no longer of any use to her.”

"Damn it...damn it! That woman, how dare she play me for a fool..."

"Can you stop yelling like that?" Ash picked at his ear impatiently. "Guzma, don't you know... the screams of the weak never have any effect."

"What did you say?" Guzma's eyes widened immediately. "You little brat, how dare you call me a weakling?!"

“You are.” Ash nodded with utmost seriousness. “Since you became a trainer, you haven’t accomplished a single success… In terms of strength, you’ve always been suppressed by Professor Kukui; you wanted to overthrow the Island Tour, but it was just talk; you were angry that you were being used, but in the end, it all came to nothing… Because I will not allow you to take revenge!”

"You!" Guzma's voice faltered.

He found himself speechless because he had truly accomplished nothing and all he had experienced was failure.

Even the Skull Team, which he had single-handedly built up, was easily defeated by this kid in front of him...

"If you're not happy about it, then come and challenge me!" Ash beckoned with his finger. "I might as well let you know that my strength is comparable to Professor Kukui's, and I'm just one step away from becoming an Elite Four member... while you are far behind!"

"Damn it... Stop being so arrogant! I'll surpass you and Kukui sooner or later!" Guzma shouted indignantly.

Kukui is his lifelong nemesis, and he will never back down.
