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

It appeared to be a hastily constructed grave, without a tombstone, only a section of scarred bone exposed...

"Is this a piece of Crawling's bone?" Looking at the dark blue bone, Shigeru immediately guessed that it must be a piece of bone left behind by the ghost Crawling.

Team Rocket poached Cubone's skull for money, and Cubone died tragically while protecting her children, her remains being abandoned here.

I just don't know who helped with the burial...

"It's a thick bone club. Crawling has placed its last bit of attachment on it. It probably still wants to stay with its child forever." Ash picked up the bone club and handed it to Gary.

"Karakara, take this... Don't cry after today. You have to be strong. This is for your mother's sake." Xiao Mao nodded and handed the thick bone club to Karakara.

"Crunch... crunch~" The little bag gently patted the back of Cara Cara's neck, softly comforting it.

"Kara...Kara!" Although still sad, Kara Kara finally bravely wiped away her tears.

It swung the bone club with all its might, but instead, a dark blue flame flew out from both ends.

"What is this?" Xiao Mao was taken aback.

"It should be the Shadow Bone," Ash said after thinking for a moment.

If he wasn't mistaken, this should be Alolan Marowak's signature move.

However, this should only be a move that comes with the bone club, not one that Karakara used, and the little guy's attributes will not change now.

The Will-O-Wisp type of Alolan Marowak has many complex causes and cannot be forcibly changed by a single obsession... unless Gary actually takes Cubone to Alolan before it evolves.

"Okay... I've made up my mind!" Xiao Mao seemed to have made up his mind.

"I will train my Cubone with all my might, and then I will use it to challenge the Goldenrod Gym, and I must get the badge!"

Chapter 103 The Battle at the Top of the Tower, A Mysterious Vortex!

Ash wholeheartedly supports Gary's idea, because it really has potential.

Shadow Bone is a powerful Ghost-type physical attack move with a certain probability of lowering the opponent's Defense. Combined with the doubled attack from Bone Club, even without STAB boosts, Cubone's damage output is definitely not low.

Sabrina's Alakazam is known for its flimsy build; a single blow from Cubone would leave Alakazam half-dead.

Of course, how to actually hit the target is a question that Shigeru needs to figure out for himself.

Next, they need to deal with the Rockets on the top floor!

With all that commotion, the guys upstairs are probably on guard.

"Team Rocket... their fate is sealed!" Gary sneered and sent out his Scyther.

Upon learning that the Rockets were actually entrenched upstairs, Xiao Mao couldn't wait any longer and was eager to rush up and make a big splash!

"Let's get straight to the point... Charmeleon, Dragon Charge!" "Roar!"

The enormous sound wave made the entire tower vibrate, and the Charizard, its entire body enveloped in intense energy, actually smashed through the ceiling and rushed to the seventh floor first!

Following closely behind, the two flying pets, Zubat and Scyther, also set out to provide support from behind Charmeleon.

The Gengar, which was at the back, used Psychic to send Chimo and his companion, along with the remaining Pokémon such as Bag, to the top of the tower at the same time!

In an instant, the top floor of the Pokémon Tower was thrown into chaos.

"That wretched brat, he actually lifted the floorboards to launch a sneak attack?!"

"I'm warning you, we have hostages... Waaah!!"

One of the Team Rocket grunts tried to threaten a frail old man by holding him hostage, but before he could even utter a sound, a sharp wind blade sliced ​​through his wrist.

Before he and the people around him could react, a burst of white light suddenly appeared before their eyes. A purple bat flew out like a ghost, flapping its four wings and knocking down all the henchmen around the hostage!

Cross-shaped poisoned blade!

"Well done, Crobat!" Ash was overjoyed to see Zubat evolve at this moment.

In such a dark and chaotic environment, a bat that moves incredibly fast and moves silently would undoubtedly be a nightmare for the enemy.

Especially with Gengar's control and coordination, as soon as Crobat knocked down the guard, Gengar immediately rescued the hostage old man to his side. Then, Pikachu, Pocket, and Charmeleon, the three generals, came out together and instantly made the Team Rocket members scream in agony!

Especially Little Bag, perhaps it was really the maternal potential that was awakened by Cara Cara. After it used a high five to ram into the enemy, it swung its fist and smashed the surrounding minions!

The powerful punches, the stun punches, the energy-gathering punches, and the million-ton heavy punches beat the henchmen on the scene until they trembled all over and dared not approach it again.

"Warturtle, use Water Spray! Scyther, use Slice!"

Shigeru also went all out, and his Wartortle actually used a genetic move with power comparable to an ultimate battle move, knocking over several enemy Pokémon with a burst of water!

At the same time, Scyther transforms into a dual-wielding warrior, its green form flashing as it cleaves down one enemy after another.

After a burst of attacks, Gary glanced smugly at Ash, only to see Ash unleash a powerful combo of Tiger and Thunder God followed by Tiger Cannon, instantly wiping out a bunch of Rocket minions in front of him!

The scene of the trainer going on a rampage almost made his jaw drop.

Damn... you even used a reverse punch followed by a rising dragon punch! I remember you trained with my senior brother Nobuhiko, right? When did you switch to Kyokugenryu?!

Just as Gary was internally complaining, Ash suddenly leaped up and unleashed a Flying Swallow Kick!

Xiaomao:…

He now has no doubt that if his best friend continues on this path, one day he might unleash a powerful "Overlord Sho-Hou" punch.

However, what Gary didn't know was that Ash actually knew how to use it.

Since he can project his superpowers, he can naturally project his aura power in the same way.

The so-called "Overlord Shohoken" is nothing more than a larger wave missile.

"Hey, don't just stand there! Quickly protect this old man!" Xiao Mao had just come to his senses when he found that Xiao Zhi had already pushed the hostage he had rescued to his side.

He himself had already brandished his fists and charged into a group of henchmen, causing another rout.

That's why Gary's bad at PvP; when dealing with those Team Rocket bastards, Ash always prioritizes beating them up first.

After a flurry of blows, all of Team Rocket's Pokémon were rendered unable to battle, and the bastards were left bruised and battered, groaning in pain in a corner.

Feeling refreshed, Ash bumped fists with his friends and together cast a huge shadow over the Team Rocket members.

So, it's five hundred push-ups, five hundred sit-ups, five hundred squats, and a twenty-kilometer run every day, and you can't turn on the air conditioning no matter how hot it is...

Five times the training volume of Saitama's teacher? Do you really think Ash's hellish self-torture is a joke?

As for why the final long run didn't reach five times the speed, firstly, it was too time-consuming, and secondly, Riolu was simply too exhausted to run anymore...

I told you, Ash himself was the main force in fighting Team Rocket!

"No...don't come any closer!", "This guy is a devil!", "Help!!"

The Team Rocket members, huddled in the corner, began to scream in pain, but their appearance did nothing to arouse Ash and Gary's sympathy; instead, it only made them more angry and nauseous.

"Damn bastards! You can't even feel fear now?!"

Xiao Mao stared with bloodshot eyes, and several times he couldn't help but want to rush over and finish off these bastards.

"I'm a devil? Have you ever considered how your actions appear to the Pokémon?!"

Ash was also suppressing his anger; if he could, he really wanted to wipe these bastards out of the world...

hum! !

Just then, a purplish-black vortex suddenly appeared in the corner behind the Team Rocket minions. Then, countless eerie demonic hands frantically wrapped around them, forcibly dragging their bodies back into the vortex!

"Is that... Cubone?" Gary was startled. He realized that the demonic hands were all shaped like Cubone, and they were tearing at the bodies of Team Rocket members as if they were trying to rip off a piece of flesh.

"Ah!!" The old man who had been rescued beside him had already covered his eyes and screamed.

"Shigeru, turn around with him and stop looking!" Ash shouted, even using his psychic powers to forcibly twist their bodies.

He himself kept his eyes glued to the purplish-black vortex!

It quickly devoured Team Rocket's minions, and then, not content with that, it wanted to spread outwards...

"Go back!!" Ash immediately condensed a powerful aura in his palm, and at the same time, rainbow-colored light flashed behind him again, drawing a light curtain in front of him like an insurmountable chasm.

The demonic hand writhed unwillingly, but dared not cross the line, and could only twist and shrink.

After everything settled down, only the dilapidated corner of the Pokémon Tower remained...

Chapter 104 The Old Man Fuji Whose Art Style Is Off

"What was that just now? Those Rockets...could they all be...?"

Xiao Mao stared at the empty corner of the wall, his heart pounding with fear.

So many living people, just vanished like that?

"It must be the entrance to the spirit world. We're lucky we were able to close it..." Xiao Zhi seemed a little scared.

The only place he could think of for that strange, purplish-black vortex was the spirit world.

Whether in games or anime, the Pokémon series is never short of supernatural stories, and the spirit world is an indispensable part of them.

The ghost girl in the Pearl and Diamond arc, the candlelight mansion in the Trash Wish arc—each appearance of the spirit world undoubtedly brings childhood trauma.

Those demonic hands that transformed into the shape of Calabasha weren't there to punish evil and promote good; it was just that Team Rocket's minions happened to be in that corner and were dragged away by them.

They even tried to harass Ash, but fortunately Ash's Aura was strong enough, and he was also empowered by the Rainbow Feather, which made them back down.

Now that I think about it, the strange thing that the Gara Gara ghost mentioned earlier must have been the entrance to this spirit world.
