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

Chapter 78 Who said dojos can only be used for challenges?

Gary was on the battlefield deep inside the Goldenrod Gym, and his Pokémon were there too!

Ash just hopes the battle isn't over yet. If Gary really gets turned into a figurine, it won't be easy to get him back...

Although Ash would also like to get one to wear on his body~

"No! Scyther!!"

On the battlefield, the boy who came to challenge them was furious, and even impulsively stepped forward to protect his Pokémon.

hum!

But before he could make a move, the battling Kadabra unleashed a powerful burst of psychic energy, blasting the already collapsed Scyther out of the room!

"It's a Scyther?!"

Ash arrived just then and quickly used his hands to catch the green flying insect that was flying backward. As a result, he was also affected by the psychic power and had to take several steps back.

At the same time, the management wizard sent another notification.

'Attention! Superpowers detected. The protagonist is gaining power.'

"Sho... why are you all here?" Turning around and seeing the crowd gathered at the door, Gary was stunned.

But then he became extremely anxious!

"You guys get out of here right now! This guy is really weird. Not only can he use his superpowers to evolve Casey, but if we lose, he'll also... Waa ...

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Mao's body was covered by a blue light, and he involuntarily floated up into the air.

"Stop!" Ash immediately stepped forward, grabbed Gary's shoulder and pulled him back to his side, and also absorbed the power that was trying to spread to him.

(How is this going?)

On the other side of the battlefield, the doll in the girl's arms looked puzzled.

Ash was able to disable his psychic powers, something he hadn't realized before.

However, the girl herself remained calm, with a hint of relief that she had expected this...

"Who are you, and why are you interfering with my battle?" The doll in the girl's arms spoke, using a strange little girl's voice.

"Now I'm the one asking the question!" Ash retorted bluntly. "What were you trying to do to Gary just now?!"

“Let him stay and play with me!” the doll said innocently. “We made a promise that if I lose, he will turn into a doll and stay here with me.”

"Miss Sabrina, can you take responsibility for what you said?" Ash threatened coldly. "If what you said is the rule of gym battles, then I will immediately call the police and report it to the League for a thorough investigation of the Goldenrod Gym!"

"Leave this to me. I'll get to Miss Officer Jenny at the speed of light!"

Xiao Gang said he was very familiar with calling the police. Since meeting Xiao Zhi, they had been calling the police all the way on their travels, and no city had been spared so far.

Those who know Ash are actually challenging gyms to participate in the League Conference; those who don't might think he's a League-appointed inspector patrolling various locations.

"Hmph, how boring. I'll come find you guys to play again next time."

Whether she felt she couldn't afford to offend Ash or was genuinely bored, the doll in the girl's arms hesitated for a moment before finally choosing to back down.

"Now that the battle is over, you should leave quickly." The doll raised its hand and pointed, unleashing a powerful psychic ability to drive Ash and the others away from the gym.

But when this power reached Ash, it seemed to be bound by a black hole, and then it disappeared without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea!

'Notice…'

Xiao Zhi was too lazy to even read the notification messages.

In short... the feeling of cheating is fucking awesome!

"You can actually ignore superpowers?!" The doll immediately showed a look of astonishment, and even unconsciously floated up from the girl's arms.

Behind him, the girl whose face was now obscured suddenly smiled with a barely perceptible curve.

(That's great... He really did it, and he really got here!)

"What exactly do you want to do?!" The doll's tone was a bit exasperated. Ash was completely unaffected by the control of superpowers, which undoubtedly disrupted all his plans.

But that's impossible!

You should know that even Dark-type Pokémon are not immune to his power!

"Gary and the others can leave the gym, but I'm staying." Ash suddenly put on a polite smile.

"Why? Didn't you think there was something wrong with my rules and didn't want to challenge the gym?" the doll screamed in bewilderment.

Hmm... Xiao Zhi felt that he definitely shouldn't be as hysterical as the other person.

Now that you possess superpowers, you should at least have the demeanor of a wise person; what kind of behavior is this, just impotent rage?

If I were as pathetic as the other person, I'm afraid the management spirit would have already drained all my power.

"I never said I came here to challenge the gym." After the other party had vented his anger, Ash slowly spoke up, "I've heard that Miss Sabrina has a high level of psychic ability, so I came here specifically to apply to become an apprentice and learn psychic abilities from Miss Sabrina."

"What?!" *N

Upon hearing this, everyone present, including Wawa, Xiao Mao, and the other three, all showed expressions of astonishment.

Ash's original three teammates recovered relatively quickly. After all, they had just witnessed Ash's sudden burst of power, so it wasn't surprising that they mentioned it now.

As for Wawa and Xiaomao, they were utterly shocked.

However, there is another person who has been overlooked, and that is Naz herself, who is behind the doll.

The curve of her lips seemed even more pronounced on her face…

"You're going to come to this kind of gloomy and terrifying place to be an apprentice?" Xiao Shi questioned immediately. "Are you even going to challenge the gyms or not? Without badges, how are you going to participate in the League Conference?!"

"I never said I wouldn't challenge them," Ash said nonchalantly. "The Kanto gyms aren't going to grow legs and run away. I can just go there whenever I want to challenge them, right?"

Ash had previously stated that his focus now would be on training rather than traveling, and if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't collected all the badges, he probably would have stayed in Saffron City.

After all, besides challenging gyms and learning psychic powers, Ash always had more important things to do here.

"I would never agree to let you become my apprentice!" the doll shrieked in dissatisfaction.

"But I don't think you have a reason to refuse me." Ash continued to recommend himself nonchalantly. "I already have some basic psychic abilities, which is definitely better than those apprentices in the gym who can't even bend a spoon. Don't you really want to consider it?"

Of course, it doesn't matter if she doesn't really consider it.

Ash just wanted to find a convenient place to train. If the Goldenrod Gym wouldn't accept him, he'd just become an apprentice at the Fighting Gym next door.

With Xiao Mao's help in getting in, he'll definitely be able to get in by using his connections.

In the Kanto Alliance, it's not about fighting and killing; it's about navigating interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

"Stop arguing! In short, I won't agree..."

"I agreed!"

However, to Xiaozhi's surprise, just as the doll was firmly refusing, the girl behind him suddenly started to disagree.

“You can stay as an apprentice! I… I will do my best to teach you, as long as you stay!” Naza spoke with some reluctance, but her tone was urgent. “Please… you must stay!”

"Damn it!"

The doll cursed under her breath, then her superpowers suddenly erupted, and she teleported away with Sabrina...

Chapter 79 Golden Dojo, Temporary Disbandment

"Is there something wrong with this person...?"

The sudden turn of events made Xiaoxia frown: "She just said she disagreed, then she said she had to stay no matter what, and then she suddenly disappeared!"

"Maybe she's just arguing with herself," Xiao Lan said leisurely. "But it's fine this way. Once she leaves, whether Xiao Zhi stays or goes is no longer her concern."

"So, you really want to stay and be an apprentice?"

“That’s right~” Ash nodded quite readily in response to Gary’s questioning again.

He will definitely stay in Golden City, at least in the short term. He will use it as his base and plan his activities in the surrounding area.

Ash made this decision after parting ways with Lorelei.

Given the current state of the League, Ash, knowing that Team Rocket might launch a surprise attack on Silph Corporation, cannot ignore this and only focus on attending the League Conference.

Since he has enjoyed the benefits of being the son of a high-ranking official, he must bear the corresponding responsibilities and become a member of the team that directly confronts the Rockets!

In fact, this concept of equivalent exchange was taught to him by the hapless management guru.

You can't get anything if you don't put in the effort...

"Then let's decide to break up. I'd also like to have some free time for a while."

Xiao Lan was the first to suggest leaving the group. She had originally planned to investigate some things on her own after arriving in Golden City.

"This..." Xiaoxia was caught in a dilemma.

She had barely managed to accept the fact that she was traveling with these people, but now she had to set off on her own again.

To be honest, Xiaoxia is actually quite reluctant to leave now.

Traveling with Ash is undoubtedly a very comfortable experience.

Although Ash was very assertive at the Cerulean Gym, he actually cares a lot about his friends. With the help of the all-around Brock, Misty has always been well taken care of and has learned a lot from him.

Of course, if you disregard the endless dog food and the occasional panic-inducing incidents, a trip with companions might be more perfect...
