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

Trainers must take their Pokémon for regular checkups to assess their physical and mental health.

If you fail the medical examination, you'll have your trainer status suspended!

Chapter 930 A Small glimpse into the future of Hoenn

There's no point in going up against someone like Masamune.

He doesn't think he has any problem at all, so no matter how much he says, it's a waste of breath.

Moreover, there is more than one Masamune in this world.

It's unrealistic to expect Xiaozhi to educate such people with just words.

Therefore, what Xiaozhi needs to do is directly change the outcome.

Fighting in such a reckless manner will inevitably cause Pokémon to suffer extremely serious damage, and it is very likely that it will turn into an incurable disease.

By the way, Nurse Joy isn't omnipotent, otherwise why would some Pokémon have permanent scars?

To change this outcome, just like Xiaozhi said before, we should enact a mandatory medical examination law.

The League can tolerate any battle method you use, but if your Pokémon fails the health check, you will be frozen... or even stripped of your trainer status!

This is Ash's way of thinking. Thanks to his wits and courage in the early stages of his battles with the management spirits, he, as a law-abiding person, is best at using rules to solve problems.

When existing rules fail to solve a problem, he will create new rules.

"Instead of directly educating those people, we enact laws and force them to raise Pokémon properly... That's a brilliant method!" After returning from the competition and hearing Ash's explanation, Yuuki's eyes lit up.

He found that spending time with Ash Ketchum really broadened his knowledge.

Yeah, why bother educating those stubborn guys? It's better to just enforce it directly, since the ultimate goal is the health of the Pokémon anyway.

“The idea is good, but can it be implemented in Hoenn?” Higana was not optimistic. “For so many years, many of Hoenn’s laws have been empty shells, unable to be implemented at all.”

"It can be done in Osaka and Alola, where there are sound oversight mechanisms for trainers. In those three regions, trainers' personal information and Poké Ball usage are all recorded online... Under normal circumstances, even releasing Pokémon is not allowed without prior approval; you must report it to the nearest Pokémon Center."

This is indeed a law that has been in effect for some time, prohibiting trainers from releasing Pokémon indiscriminately... except in cases where a Pokémon is caught and released immediately.

Once a Pokémon has been captured for a certain period of time, it must be reported to the nearest Pokémon Center in advance and released only under the supervision of designated personnel.

Regulation is necessary to ensure that Pokémon can return to normal life as soon as possible after being released into the wild.

For example, you catch a small rocky rock on a rocky mountain, but after a while you can't keep it alive, so you travel to the grasslands and release it... Isn't that pushing it to its death?

With the intervention of professionals from the League, Pokémon can receive psychological counseling and be promptly returned to a suitable wild environment.

In addition, trainers will also be subject to certain punishments after releasing Pokémon.

Those who release Pokémon will be restricted from using Poké Balls for a period of time, and will have to pay more money to purchase Poké Balls and related products in the longer term.

In short, the official authorities will try every means to increase the costs of releasing Pokémon, so that trainers will avoid releasing them as much as possible.

Even if you absolutely must release them, you must do so amicably.

Of course, the league's laws are also humane. If there are any special circumstances, you can apply to the authorities to be exempted from a series of subsequent penalties.

“This system is very comprehensive…” Higana nodded in admiration, “However, there will still be loopholes.”

"It's okay, anyone who tries to take advantage of loopholes will be sent to a labor camp... He and his family are also on the League's blacklist, and they can forget about being trainers ever again!"

Of course, there will be people who try to exploit loopholes. When Xiao Zhi was pushing for the death penalty law, some people jumped out and pointed fingers, saying that it would make the most vicious people even more ruthless.

But the question is, are there really that many vicious and ruthless people?

The death penalty law was intended to deter most criminals from taking risks, while also giving serious offenders the punishment they deserve, and it seems to be working very well.

The same applies to regulating the release of animals. There will definitely be people who try to take advantage of loopholes, such as throwing away Pokémon along with their Poké Balls... But will there be many people like that?

Even if they do, once they are found out, their fate will definitely not be good!

Returning to the mandatory medical examination law, Ash isn't worried about it not being able to land, because he firmly believes... there are still more good people in this world, and more loving trainers.

By establishing basic moral standards through various laws, most people with a conscience will naturally know how to maintain harmony with Pokémon.

Having traveled through time, Ash wanted to leave some trace.

If it's just about winning a few league championships or saving the world from certain doomsday crises in the original story, that would be too unoriginal.

He did gain fame and fortune, and he did save the world, but all of that was too unrealistic.

In reality, poaching remains rampant, the indiscriminate release of Pokémon continues unabated, and there are still many people like Masamune…

The flaws that existed in this world have not been filled, and may one day develop into new collapses!

Therefore, Xiao Zhi needs to do some practical things.

"Heh... I'm already looking forward to Hoenn's future." After Ash briefly described the prospects for the future, Yuuki couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

As expected of Xiao Zhi, he always comes up with all sorts of ingenious ideas.

Moreover, Yuuki did not feel that those laws were a significant restriction.

Does this mean that if the league doesn't make demands, trainers can just release Pokémon at will and raise them to be covered in injuries?

Try not to release them into the wild and pay close attention to their health. These are things that trainers should do; Ash simply standardized them.

The clever Yuuki could also see that once this system was rolled out, it would inevitably drive the development of other trainer systems.

Pokémon doctors and breeders, in particular, will definitely become highly sought-after professions!

Professionals should do professional things. Trainers are good at training Pokémon, but they may not be good at taking care of them. That's when doctors and breeders need to step up their skills.

As a result, the entire trainer industry will also show a trend of flourishing diversity.

And landing in Hoenn brings another direct change... more career opportunities, and lower-level trainers will definitely find more ways to make a living!

(Ash...) Rukia watched this scene silently, watching Ash talk to Yuuki and casually answer the questions posed by Sisley.

It was as if Hoenn's long-standing problems were no issue in his eyes, and could be easily resolved.

However, Rukia also knew very well that the prerequisite for achieving all of this was for Ash to join the Hoenn League and become the champion!

In other words, what he wants to overthrow is his own uncle, clansmen, and former allies!

But now, Rukia no longer thinks it was wrong.

"Go, Ash!!"

"Hmm?" The girl's sudden encouragement startled Xiaozhi.

"I... what I wanted to say was, Ash, you have to do your best in the tournament, you absolutely have to win the championship!" Rukia explained haltingly, but her tone grew increasingly determined. "And then... you have to overcome the Champion's Path and become the true Hoenn Champion!!"

"thanks, I will!"

Although he didn't know why the girl was so moved, Ash solemnly accepted the blessing.

Chapter 931 Quarterfinals: Overwhelming Strength!

So far in the Rainbow Tournament, Ash has had a relatively easy time overall.

After eliminating Masamune in the round of 32, he swept through the round of 16 with ease, sending only Lizard King and Great Swallow as his two sharpest weapons.

As the tournament progressed to the quarterfinals, Ash faced off against Maple, a female trainer from Lilycove City known as the "Cool Beauty."

By the way, Brock would probably be very interested in a trainer like this, the older sister type... It's a pity he's not here.

Judging from the registration information, this Miss Xiaofeng belongs to the type of battle that relies on reference materials, which is commonly known as planning before acting.

However, after the draw, facing Ash and the first Torkoal, she unexpectedly made a bold statement.

"Mr. Ash, I heard that since your debut, you've never lost a single official battle, and not a single Pokémon has ever been unable to battle?" Xiao Feng excitedly pulled out a Poké Ball. "Today, I'll break your undefeated streak! Go, Mothantium!"

Honestly, after setting all those flags, the fact that the first one to be played is a disadvantageous moth is quite a strange move.

However, Ash wouldn't let his guard down, and Torkoal launched an attack immediately after the start of the battle.

"Use smoke!" "Knock!"

Thick, black smoke billowed from the mouth and back of the coal turtle, completely enveloping the body of the moth.

"Moth, quickly use Gale Force to blow it away!"

"Spitfire!"

Boom!

While Xiao Feng was still instructing the moths to escape, blazing flames burst forth from the mouth of the coal turtle, instantly igniting the smoke in the air and triggering a violent explosion!

When the heatwave subsided, the charred moths had lost their ability to fight.

"Why...?" Xiao Feng looked incredulous. "Even on a sunny day, how could the fire-breathing attack be so powerful?!"

She's very frustrated right now. The first wave of the Undead Moth was supposed to be used for interference, but it was instantly killed.

"That black smoke can be ignited..." Xiao Zhi blinked, slightly speechless. The older sister opposite him looked very smart, but was her knowledge of physics and chemistry really that weak?

The smoke emitted by the coal turtle is essentially a mixture of incompletely burned coal particles and various combustible gases. These particles may not burn normally, but once they encounter a higher-temperature flame—such as a fire on a sunny day, with some air mixed in—they will eventually reach their explosive limit.

For specific examples, you can refer to Naruto, such as Asuma's Ash Pile Burning or Madara's Dust Concealment. Doesn't that make it much more vivid?

"Tch, I won't give up so easily! Go, Golduck!" Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and took out the second duck, a pure water duck that was always mistaken for a super-powered one.

"Coal Turtle, Smoke Screen!" As soon as its opponent took position, Coal Turtle unleashed another cloud of smoke.
