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

Surf, whose power is even more terrifying than the ultimate water-type battle technique, also has no stun effect and inflicts 30% paralysis. How can you block it?

Or, let's wait until the League of Legends tournament and have Pikachu pull off a six-man sweep...

It might lack technical sophistication, but it'll definitely be a lot of fun!

In addition, Silver Company has finally developed the Master Ball!

Ash didn't deliberately try to hide this news, so Team Rocket probably already knows.

...

“However, there’s a problem now. The ball’s capture effect is excellent; it’s very likely that even legendary Pokémon can’t escape it… But conversely, its taming effect is very poor.” In Ash’s private meditation room, the long-unseen Gastly came to report the latest situation to him.

In addition to their capture capabilities, Poké Balls typically also have a taming effect, at least limiting the Pokémon from immediately attacking the trainer who captured them.

Of course, if the trainer's level is not high enough, or if the Pokémon is caught in a situation like a single Poké Ball, it will still be disobedient.

The Masterball is essentially the ultimate version of conquering the world with a single ball.

Gastly is certain that a Pokémon of its strength, even if caught in a Master Ball, would never be brainwashed or tamed by it...

Wait a minute!

This guy is clearly implying something.

"Gastly, I only asked you to keep watch, what are you thinking about here?" Ash asked, frowning.

"Kid, you're not my trainer, so mind your own business." Gastly curled its lip in disdain. "I have my own plans. I want to try and disrupt that ball's functionality. If I succeed, you'll be thrilled, hehehe~"

After a burst of wild laughter, the Thousand-Year Gastly disappeared into the corner and vanished completely.

"Gastly..." Ash stared blankly at the shadows inside the room, seemingly guessing Gastly's plan.

Gastly is a Pokémon with a genuine personality, as evidenced by its help to the ghost girl for over a thousand years. And what it is doing now is clearly to express its gratitude to Ash.

Ash used a better method to help it promote the legend of the Ghost Girl, and it naturally didn't mind going to great lengths for Ash...

"Mr. Ash, something's happened! Someone else is challenging Sabrina again!"

Shortly after Gastly left, an apprentice suddenly knocked on Ash's door.

During these two months, Ash and Sabrina grew closer, and Ash was even appointed as a gym assistant by Sabrina.

He is now in charge of the daily training of all the superpowered apprentices, and his prestige is second only to Sabrina.

"That spiky-haired guy from last time, he's fighting with Miss Sabrina right now!"

"I'll go check it out." Hearing that Gary was challenging Sabrina again, Ash couldn't help but feel worried and immediately rushed to the battlefield.

Xiao Zhi is now completely certain that Sabrina, who is not holding a doll and who is holding a doll, are two completely different people.

The former is a quiet and intellectual young lady who cares about Xiaozhi a lot and has been carefully teaching him how to use his superpowers;

The latter, however, is a cunning and treacherous old man from the Rockets, a pervert who, despite his age, insists on pretending to be a kid.

Unfortunately, Sabrina always ends up being the latter in her matches…

Bang!

Sure enough, when Ash arrived at the battle arena, he saw Sabrina's Alakazam controlling a black rabbit-shaped Pokémon on the other side, first slamming it into the ceiling, then into the floor, and finally launching it into the wall.

"Moon Fairy! Damn it..."

That's right. In order to defeat the Goldenrod Gym, Gary even created Eevee's Dark-type evolution ahead of time, but he still got crushed.

"Hmph, this is all you've got? What a waste of my time."

The doll in Sabrina's arms snorted, glared at Ash, and then manipulated Sabrina to leave the battlefield.

"Are you alright?" Ash asked with concern as he stepped forward, and casually cast a Viridian Heal on Umbreon.

"I'm fine... but I'm just so angry!" Xiao Mao said resentfully. "When did that Alakazam use Miracle Eye... wait, tell me what happened to you first?!"

Upon closer inspection of Ash, Gary was startled.

The other person was like a completely different person. Not only was he almost half a head taller than me, but his physique had also become extremely attractive, and the outline of his bulging pectoral muscles could be seen with the slightest movement...

I really want to touch it~

"Shigeru...do you know how disgusting your eyes are?" Ash immediately gave him a dead fish look.

"It's alright..." Xiao Shi quickly recovered, a look of constipation appearing on his face after the pain subsided. "Could it be... that I really have no choice but to go to the Pokémon Tower and catch Ghost-type Pokémon to battle?"

"Please, this is really not a good idea." Ash remained noncommittal.

It's true that Ghost-type is super effective against Psychic-type, but most Ghost-types you encounter in Kanto these days are Poison-type.

Even a tanky Umbreon can't beat Alakazam, so the Gengar family in the Pokémon Tower is even more useless...

It would be more appropriate to replace it with one's own.

On a side note, Ash's Gengar is currently practicing a very special move that's incredibly effective and has no side effects... Once it masters it, who knows, it might let a certain Gym Leader try it out first!

"But I have to try!" Shigeru said, his face full of reluctance. "No matter what, I must get the Golden Badge!"

Having suffered two consecutive defeats at the hands of Sabrina, Shigeru was clearly losing his temper and was determined to get revenge!

Chapter 101 Lavender Town, Pokémon Tower

"Oh, right, I happen to need to talk to you about something... Could you help me with that? Then I'll be leaving."

After venting his anger, Gary calmed down and threw out a Poké Ball. A small, tan-colored, looking aggrieved jumped out of it.

"Cubone?" Ash was taken aback. "Where did you catch it?"

“Ziyuan Town…” Xiao Mao’s constipation had clearly worsened.

Judging from this, Ash guessed that Gary must have been to Lavender Town before, but was too afraid of ghosts to enter the Pokémon Tower, which is why he only caught this Cubone.

But... could this little guy also be connected to the plot?

“It’s been crying ever since I caught it. I asked Miss Joy, and I also asked Grandpa and my sister, but they don’t know what’s wrong.” Shigeru finally shrugged helplessly. “It can’t just keep going like this, so I came to you.”

So, the reason Shigeru came to find Satoshi was actually to translate something...

It wasn't some kind of surprise, but rather a question about why Kara Kara kept crying.

"Little bag, could you please comfort it?"

Ash can comfort Pokémon on his own, but when it comes to maternal instincts, Pocket is the more reliable one.

Although she's just a young female dragon with yellow flowers right now, she definitely has that maternal gene in her bones!

"Kara..." "Karakara!!"

After some communication, Cubone's emotions calmed down a bit, but Pocket's eyes turned red, and it angrily swung its claws and howled at Ash.

"Ash, what happened?"

"Take it to the Pokémon Tower. Cubone wants to find its mother."

"Is its mother... Gala Gala?" Xiao Mao asked hesitantly.

"Yes... but he's already dead, and his body was just left in the tower..."

"What do you mean by that?!" Xiao Mao was taken aback.

"Team Rocket."

Upon hearing Ash utter a name, Gary suddenly became just like Pocket…

"Damn bastards, I won't let them get away with this!!"

"Calm down!" Xiao Zhi quickly stopped him. "You go and rest first. I'll go with you this time."

Tell Gary to calm down first. Ash went to the park to collect all his Pokémon, and then went to find Sabrina.

Unfortunately, the other person was still holding that damned doll.

"Miss Sabrina, I need to go to Lavender Town..."

"Go if you want, no need to come here and bother me." The doll in Naz's arms shooed it away with a sour face.

"I understand... I'll be back as soon as possible." Ash said the last part while looking Sabrina into her eyes.

After he turned around, a cold glint gradually appeared in his eyes!

Let's give it a try... whether that guy will actually make a move against Silver Corporation while he's away!

According to the information Ash obtained, Team Rocket's activities in Johto, the Seven Islands, and other places have suddenly become rampant recently, and even the Elite Four have been dispersed to various places to be on high alert.

Based on the game's storyline, Ash guessed that this was a feint, a signal that Team Rocket was about to launch an operation in Goldenrod City!

Therefore, he has been deliberately hiding his cultivation progress recently.

No one knew that Ash, now using his full psychic powers, could teleport directly from places like Celadon City or Lavender Town to Silph Co.!

Admittedly, Ash's Aura can't cover such a long distance, but don't forget that besides Gastly, Ash also has Porygon.

Ash is now monitoring the entire Silver Company network. If any unusual activity occurs, Porygon will immediately contact Ash via mobile phone!

We'll see then, after I leave, whether that guy's true colors will be revealed immediately!

...

Ziyuan Town is a quiet and solemn town, which is shrouded in mist all year round because it is nestled between mountains and the sea.
