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

Chapter Sixty-Nine: In the corners where the sun doesn't shine, evil breeds.

"Dragonite, I'm late... Are you guys alright?"

Looking at the devastation on the island, Ash barely suppressed his anger as he asked questions.

Ash breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Dragonite Island had just been attacked and its defenses had not yet been breached.

(I never imagined... that even after escaping here, I still couldn't escape those despicable humans!)

The giant stinging jellyfish approached the shore, its gaze towards the rocket minions still carrying a faint hint of murderous intent.

"It's all my fault..." Xiao Zhi lowered his head in self-reproach. "I thought this place would be peaceful..."

(This isn't your fault...at least that's what my people think.) Surprisingly, the stinging jellyfish didn't lash out. (On the contrary, I should thank you; this sea is truly wonderful.)

Despite battling Team Rocket, Tentacruel didn't seem to be in a bad mood; it even chatted happily with the giant Dragonite.

It's usually polite phrases like "Please give me your guidance, senior" or "Let's keep in touch, neighbors."

The dragons on Kuailong Island are naturally docile and hospitable. Jellyfish are not in their food chain and do not take up resources on the shore, so they were quickly accepted by the dragons.

Ash gathered the captured Team Rocket grunts and had a giant Tentacruel erase their memories of Dragonite Island.

“Miss Kona, I can leave these people to you to handle… I have only one request: keep them locked up as long as possible, preferably never to be released!”

"I'll do my best..." Kona sighed and nodded.

She knew how angry Ash was. If it weren't for her sake, Ash might have let the two giant beasts wipe out Team Rocket!

What Kona was most concerned about was that Ash could actually get two enormous creatures and two huge groups to obey him... including one pseudo-legendary group!

Recalling someone's "showing off" behavior on the Quartz Plateau, Kona realized that the other person wasn't bragging at all; on the contrary, they were being incredibly modest!

The child in front of us already possesses strength surpassing that of elite trainers, enough to be considered among the average experts;

Moreover, the levels of the Pokémon he holds seem to be variable, and the power he can unleash in an instant can even surpass that of the Elite Four!

If you include these two giant beasts, Ash could easily destroy any large city; his destructive power would be unmatched even by the Champion!

Powerful, dangerous... Ash Ketchum now even makes a strong person like Lorelei secretly fearful!

...

The sound of sirens rang out in the open sea, and the coast guard that Kona had contacted quickly arrived near Dragon Island.

After handing over prisoners and handling the aftermath, the sun was already beginning to set.

"Ash, don't worry, the League will send people to patrol this area from now on, and similar incidents will definitely not happen again."

Seeing Ash's dark expression throughout, Lorelei quickly offered words of comfort and reassurance.

She had to stroke him gently, afraid that Ash would stay so angry...

Even disregarding his status as a second-generation official, this kid is already someone the alliance can't touch.

“I’m not angry about this…” However, Xiao Zhi just shook his head with a cold face.

Besides himself and Brock, only the Team Rocket trio knew about Dragonite Island, so Giovanni's information must have come from them as well.

However, Sakaki probably only secretly overheard the island's location and didn't know the true situation on the island, which is why he sent several ships of weaklings to their deaths.

Now that this arrogant guy has kicked a hornet's nest, Ash should definitely be happy...

But he couldn't be happy at all!

What happened in just two days was like a thorn in Xiaozhi's side!

First it was Granny Kim, then the Rockets… especially the latter!

Besides Dragonite Island, there's also Mt. Tsukimi, Koro-no-City...

Giovanni may be a charismatic and ruthless leader, but it cannot be denied that the Rockets are an undeniably evil group, and all his subordinates are villains!

Not only what Ash knows now, but also what has been explicitly shown in the anime and games: Team Rocket poaching Pokémon, selling Pokémon body parts, wantonly performing genetic modifications, and using the Rage Device to force evolution...

One incident after another, too numerous to recount!

Of course, Ash doesn't have to pay attention to these things.

As long as we follow the original story, peacefully pursue our own path in the alliance, defeat the true protagonists when we encounter them, and laugh and joke about how they can do anything except cause trouble, everything will be fine...

But just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Evil always breeds in those corners where the sun doesn't shine.

Even in children's anime, the main characters are often doing bad things.

They may not be as bad as some people, but that doesn't mean they are necessarily good people!

Bombing with rockets, capturing with nets, maliciously robbing... what kind of good person would do such a thing?!

Now, Xiaozhi is unwilling and will not ignore everything he has personally experienced!

He didn't want to portray himself as a righteous person, but if villains like Granny and Team Rocket continued to exist and wantonly harm innocent Pokémon and humans...

So Xiaozhi could only declare here... that he was irreconcilably opposed to evil!

He can become the sun, warming and illuminating the beautiful things, while also blinding those bastards... or even fighting evil with evil, directly burning them to ashes!

"Ash... are you alright?" Lorelei asked cautiously.

Just now, she noticed that Xiaozhi's demeanor had changed.

Like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, it's so striking that just looking at it is painful to the eyes!

“Miss Kona, could you tell me... why do such atrocities keep happening despite repeated attempts to stop them?”

Ash's questioning was so subtle and scrutinizing that even the Elite Four member dared not look him in the eye.

“Perhaps it’s because…human nature is inherently greedy.” After a long silence, Kona sighed softly, “Even for the slightest gain, those wicked people will take the risk.”

Kona didn't know why she was talking about these things with a child she had just met.

Perhaps it's because his gaze is so penetrating, leaving no room for anyone to look away...

"That's true... but I think the reason these evildoers are so rampant is because the cost of committing crimes is too low!"

"Imprisonment, fines... these punishments are ineffective against even the most vicious criminals, let alone ordinary brats!"

"This..." Kona was speechless for a moment.

Before today, she would never have imagined that she would hear these things from a ten-year-old boy.

To be able to pinpoint the league's biggest pain point so accurately is beyond what can be described as genius or intelligence!

What exactly has that guy been teaching this kid...?

"So...why can't the Alliance implement the death penalty?"

"What did you say?!" Her casual words startled Lorelei. "Ash, you can't joke like that!"

“Miss Kona, I’m not joking, and this is not an impulsive decision, but a well-considered opinion.”

Ash looked intently into Lorelei's eyes and said, slowly and deliberately, "I think... the League needs a death sentence!"

"Ash, I think you should calm down." Lorelei was completely panicked and hurriedly advised, "Since the establishment of the Pokémon League in modern times, the death penalty has never been implemented in any region. This is not something that can be implemented just like that."

"Besides, we also..."

“We have no right to take another person’s life… Miss Kona, is that what you’re trying to say to me?”

Chapter Seventy: Offering Death Penalties to a Wonderful World

Lorelei was speechless at Ash's question and could only nod silently.

To think that a child could control the rhythm of things, Ice King felt a sense of defeat... and a touch of self-mockery.

Yes, we don't have that qualification...

But what about those bastards on the Rockets?

Why are they allowed to harm or even kill Pokémon at will?!

"It's not just Pokémon, it's humans too... and my main goal is to protect them." Ash sighed heavily, as if he could read Lorelei's mind.

“Every year, how many rangers die at the hands of poachers, and how many patrolmen die in the line of duty… You should know these numbers better than I do.”

"This?!" Kona's eyes widened suddenly.

She finally realized that she seemed to have misunderstood Xiaozhi's meaning...

"They became heroes because of their deaths, but their lives should have been protected and should not have been taken away!"

"The purpose of executing heinous criminals is not just to protect Pokémon, but to raise the cost of crime and make an example of those who want to do evil, so that they will be deterred!"

"Furthermore, I don't understand... the principle of 'paying back debts and avenging murder' has been a rule since ancient times. Why doesn't it apply to the current alliance? If the alliance doesn't fill the loopholes in the law, it's tantamount to condoning crime!!"

"Of course I know that neither I, you, nor anyone else has the right to forcibly take another person's life... but the law is essential! Because the essence of the law should not be mere punishment, but rather protecting the safety of the innocent!!!"

hum! !

An invisible wave of energy erupted from Xiaozhi's body, even causing the surrounding waves to surge continuously!

Implementing the death penalty and taking the lives of those wicked people would make Satoshi seem unmerciful, and might even result in the management spirits deducting his Viridian Power.

The opposite is true!
