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

"Let's go take a look first."

Ash and Lance arrived at the hot pot and found Brock busy with a group of people.

He was sweating profusely while holding a large soup ladle, and the nine-tailed fox beside him transformed into a young girl, carefully wiping the sweat from his forehead from time to time.

"Hehe, Miss Luo Ke..." Xiao Gang squinted and grinned foolishly, looking just like a simple-minded young man who had just gotten married.

Luo Ke also looked shy, with two blushes appearing on her cheeks every now and then...

Damn, something's not right here, is it?

This scene made Xiao Zhi's heart pound. He had a feeling that the two of them, the human and the fox, had done something indescribable last night...

Thinking about it carefully, the nine-tailed fox Loke is very skilled in illusion magic, and her mental power is exceptionally strong. Perhaps she really can't be hypnotized by the ancient Jigglypuff.

"Ash, what's wrong?" Brock's voice startled Ash from his reverie. "You've been standing here for a while now, is something the matter?"

"Uh... I just came to check on how the packaging is." Xiao Zhi shook his head slightly, trying to clear his mind of some random thoughts.

On the long table near Xiaogang, there was already a pile of packaged broth, with sealed packets stacked together, much like Chinese medicine that had been decocted and bottled.

Xiao Zhi roughly counted them and estimated there were nearly forty packs.

"Here, these are all for you." He waved his hand and gave thirty packets to Yulongdu.

"Give me all of this?" The Dragon Champion was puzzled. "Ash, most of my people have already drunk it, and we don't need any more Pokémon in the Sanctuary... Who am I supposed to give it to?"

“You should keep it for the League members,” Ash said matter-of-factly. “Grandma Aki and Mr. Aki didn’t come, did they?”

“But I’ve already prepared their portions and plan to have someone deliver them today… As you requested, seven portions per person is definitely not too few.”

“The Elite Four can’t always be the same few Elite Four members,” Ash continued. “If you find a trustworthy trainer who can take over as Elite Four member, then use this to train them.”

“This…” Lance was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Ash to give this reason.

Thirty soup dumplings would be enough, even if we shared them with another group of the Four Heavenly Kings. Besides, the Dragon Crossing has recently encountered two promising talents…

He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Xiao Zhi's gesture was simply too extravagant!

This kid in front of me is basically acting as the tank, the healer, and the support all at once, carrying the entire... no, the two alliances forward together!

Looking back, his father was the same way, single-handedly providing the Four Heavenly Kings with the quasi-god-level combat power they needed.

As a result, by the time it came to his son's generation, they weren't even qualified to be pseudo-legendary anymore, so they went straight to being legendary!

Promote him... Lance doesn't know what else he can do to recognize Ash's achievements.

Elevate Ash's three abilities to the highest level, giving him the greatest authority, the highest status, the most prestige, and the most support within the League!

If necessary, he is willing to serve as Ash's stepping stone, even as the champion!

"Mr. Lance, let's not get too excited. We should calm down a bit." Just as Lance was getting increasingly agitated, Ash suddenly spoke up to remind him.

Yu Longdu looked over curiously and found that the boy's face had returned to its serious expression, becoming calm and composed once again.

"This party was quite a grand event, but such events are very addictive, so it's best to exercise restraint in the future."

"Understood!" Lance nodded seriously, understanding Ash's meaning.

Rayquaza's true form's dragon tooth is Ash's trophy, and he can do whatever he wants with it.

Ash has also said that he doesn't mind digging for treasure all over the world to help his companions become stronger.

What's truly frightening is that if his robbery becomes a habit, and he escalates his crimes, it will inevitably lead to chaos!

Isn't Hoenn a cautionary tale? An entire alliance ganged up to scheme against Rayquaza... They'll suffer a lot in the future.

The two waited until Xiao Gang finished packaging the last batch of broth. By then, the dragon fire of the Yulong family had dwindled to a mere flicker, and the Fang of the Sky-Sitting had shrunk to the size of an ordinary dragon tooth.

It should have become a stat-enhancing item. Ash took it in his hand to examine it and felt that it should be better than similar items, and it was of a higher quality.

He decided to give the dragon tooth to Dragonite so that it could further enhance its power, and at the same time, he could give the wet rock to Pelipper so that this rainy day flag bearer could truly carry the flag.

Having made these plans in mind, Ash summoned Dragonite.

He first helped Dragonite change its props, then carefully packed about thirty packets of broth that he had prepared in advance the day before into a box and tied it to Dragonite's back.

"I need you to work a little harder now, Alora and Carlos, get them there as quickly as possible."

"Woo!" Dragonite responded confidently, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky in an instant!

Ash won't forget his companions over there—his classmates in Alola, Professor Kukui, the Island King, and the candidate captains—he'll definitely share some with them.

And even more importantly, Serena and Nanami-neechan must also be included!

"Hey, you've started delivering goods?" At this moment, Xiao Lan also came over.

She seemed to have thought of something and reached out to Xiaozhi, asking, "Can you spare me two more packets of soup? I want to give some away too."

"Who... are you going to give this to?" Xiao Zhi asked, puzzled, but still gave her two packs of his stock.

"You'll find out later... Xiaobai~" Xiaolan smiled mysteriously. She summoned Ditto, instructed it to transform into Dragonite, and left the Sanctuary with two packets of soup.

Xiao Gang then put away the soup pot and spoons, and with that, the Dragon Tooth Broth Feast finally came to an end.

However, the Sanctuary was still quite lively. The people and Pokémon who stayed there were either chatting with each other or familiarizing themselves with their enhanced powers, creating a harmonious atmosphere everywhere.

However, the area where Ash's Pokémon was located seemed a bit too noisy...

boom! boom!

"Shakira?" When Ash returned, he found Mt. Silver jumping around.

Each powerful impact would cause the ground in the valley to tremble.

"This... could it be evolving again?" Ash frowned.

Actually, after drinking the broth, Ash's Pokémon that can evolve can basically evolve.

But Torchic and the others all had their own growth plans, so they all held back, except for Magikarp.

Shakira is quite different; it's a true overlord, with a stronger foundation than most Pokémon, and perhaps it reaps more benefits. Now it's getting all excited.

"Otherwise, let's take it back to Mt. Silver," Ash quickly decided.

Tyranitar's mother once said that when Shakira is about to evolve, you must first take it back to Mt. Silver.

"Send Shakila back to Silver Mountain?" Xia, who had also woken up, asked curiously. "What about us? Are we going to set off together?"

With so many people gathered in the valley now, including long-lost companions like Lijia and Naz, as well as the entire dragon horde from Dragon Island, we can't just leave them all here.

"Sho and Brock should go first, settle Sargeras in, and then come back." Blue immediately understood what Sasuke meant.

“That’s it!” Ash nodded. “It’s not far from Mt. Silver. Brock and I will teleport there with Tyranitar and its mother, and we’ll be back soon.”

After agreeing on the plan, Ash immediately put away Sargeras and prepared to set off with Brock.

However, when they were about to leave, a small bag appeared in the group.

Shakira had at least watched it grow up, and now that it was finally about to take the final step, it was a little worried.

"Let's go then~" Ash naturally agreed.

A flash of light, and the squad had already left the Dragon Sanctuary!

Chapter 574 The Silver Cave, Tyranitar's Gathering Place

"Hello, Commander Xiaozhi. I am Muto, a ranger in the Baiyinshan Nature Reserve."

After teleporting to the foot of Silver Mountain, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang immediately contacted the local forest rangers.

The person who came to meet them was a young woman in work clothes who looked quite heroic. When she learned that the two of them had actually returned with Tyranitar and his mother, she was overjoyed.

"That's wonderful! As expected of Commander Ash, you two actually brought back Tyranitar and its cub!" Seeing Tyranitar and its cub in person... especially since the cub's size had become incredibly huge, Muto was overwhelmed with excitement.

She stared at Ash with starry eyes, looking like a super fanatic who had just met her idol.

And that is indeed the case. The vast majority of forest rangers... especially those in Mt. Silver, truly idolize Ash Ketchum.

After all, Ash personally commanded the operation in Leaf Town to wipe out the Gul Poaching Group, the biggest poaching gang threatening Mt. Silver!

"Miss Muto, please take us to Tyranitar's habitat. Its Sargent is about to evolve," Ash said to Muto. "Also, given the special circumstances, I need to exercise my duties as an investigator and privately capture Tyranitar and Sargent."

“I believe this mother and child will be happy to leave with you later,” Muto said earnestly. “Please come with me, I will take you deep into the Shirogane Mountain Nature Reserve.”

After saying that, Muto took the lead and set off to guide Ash and his companion.

But after setting off again, Ash felt something was off, as if something was missing.

"Yeah... Xiaogang, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you even greet Miss Muto when you saw her?"

Something's not right. Xiao Gang is too calm.

When he sees a girl like Muto, shouldn't he be swooning over her and kneeling down to passionately propose? Why is he suddenly being so reserved?

"Business is important, and didn't I already ask?" Xiao Gang said nonchalantly, his eyes never leaving his face, as if he hadn't even seen Mutou...

"You... really?"

A lightbulb suddenly went off in Xiao Zhi's head, and a word inexplicably came to mind...

Sage Mode.

He was now 100% certain that something had definitely happened between Xiao Gang and Nine-Tailed Luo Ke, otherwise why would he be so indifferent and not even bother the young lady?

"Xiao Zhi, you're being strange. Why are you asking this out of the blue?" Xiao Gang asked, sounding completely unfazed.
