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

With their king-level strength as a foundation, no one would dare to stand in their way!

Those weaker families or businesses must ensure they distance themselves from the Rockets and strictly abide by the league's laws, or they will be considered enemies of the Rockets and face charges without question!

Over the years, very few people with ties to the Rockets have a clean past; a single intimidation stunt will surely be enough to deter them.

Once these minor details are removed and Ash has successfully persuaded Mewtwo, the Kanto League can gather its superior forces to launch a counterattack against Team Rocket and crush Giovanni and his loyal followers in one fell swoop!

This battle doesn't even need to be won. As long as the Kanto Alliance can demonstrate its strength and firmly uphold the moral high ground, they can deter the wavering neutral faction and ultimately remain invincible!

Throughout, the Kanto League only needs to remember one thing... no matter how badly they are bullied, Team Rocket is undoubtedly an evil group that everyone should kill!

“My son has already started making these arrangements. He transferred the equity agreement for Silver to me, so we can directly control that company from now on. We can also use similar infiltration methods for other families and businesses.”

No matter how large a network of relationships is, it is made up of individual nodes. As long as the key parts are destroyed, the entire network will naturally collapse on its own!

“The idea is indeed very good, but… will Sakaki give us that kind of time?” Kikuko still seemed worried.

Akiko has also received Ash's report about the teleportation panel. She is very worried that after Giovanni discovers the Kanto Alliance's actions, he will abandon his cover and launch a full-scale attack!

"Then let's just fight him! Anyway, with my kid on the team, our chances of winning aren't low!" the man said confidently. "After this battle, the Rockets and Giovanni will truly become rats that everyone wants to kill!"

In fact, even without Ash, it would have been extremely unwise for Giovanni to bring Team Rocket to the forefront.

Those teleportation panels only indicate that Giovanni is prepared to launch a surprise attack, but at this stage, they are clearly more of a deterrent than a practical threat.

The world is still largely peaceful. Evil groups can act with impunity as villains, but once they become those in power, they will inevitably become the target of everyone's hatred!

After all, a league is not a country, and there is no such thing as someone who only cares about their own affairs. No matter how skilled Giovanni is in diplomacy, he cannot persuade all the other regional leagues to continue to coexist peacefully with Kanto, which is controlled by Team Rocket.

At that time, not only will the remnants of the Kanto Alliance keep causing him trouble, but all sorts of people from other regions who are envious of Kanto's resources will also launch a large-scale invasion under the banner of 'eliminating evil'!

Attacking a regional alliance is absolutely outrageous, but attacking a group of criminals who have usurped power is called acting on behalf of Heaven!

Therefore, Sakaki can bully the Kanto Alliance in various ways, but he will never completely break off relations unless absolutely necessary.

Why not continue to grow in the shadows, make money and accumulate strength in peace? That way, he might still have a chance to gradually infiltrate other regions, or even unify the entire planet's underworld in one fell swoop!

With such a promising future as the kingpin of the underworld, why would he want to step into power now and get kicked out by others?

"Besides... Giovanni is currently busy getting used to that legendary Pokémon, so he's not going to flip the table so easily."

This is also Ash's judgment based on the original work: although Mewtwo has just been born, it is not so easy to fool.

Admittedly, Giovanni is indeed a shrewd and invincible tyrant, but with the Mewtwo incident, he shot himself in the foot.

He was so concerned about being the 'strongest' that he created something he couldn't control. Not only did it distract him, but it also created a powerful enemy for him!

“I also have some ideas. While Sakaki Teng is not making a move, in addition to accumulating strength, we should also actively seek external assistance.” The man continued his analysis, “We can open up parts of Kanto and Johto. Devon Corporation has always wanted to come in, so let’s let them in.”

"And then there's that guy from the Yuta family. His business project in Hoenn has been blocked. Didn't he say before that he wanted to develop in Kanto?"

"Yuda...you mean Ashida?" Kikuko suddenly realized. "That's right. If Kanto could add more Battle Frontiers, with the help of Frontier Brains with the strength of Gym Leaders, they could better protect the major cities! But..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but hesitate.

The pioneers recruited by Ashida are all Hoennians, and Akiko is worried that these people will turn the tables and affect the League's own gym challenge system.

“You don’t need to worry at all. We will definitely plant our own people as well.” The man understood Kikuko’s thoughts very well. “That pilot I met before is perfect for being the Brain of the Pioneers. In addition, I have another super suitable candidate here. Although she hasn’t gone on her trip yet, I’m very sure… this girl’s future achievements will definitely surpass those of the strongest pyramid pharaoh under Ashida!”

"You little rascal...did you save Pokémon Planet in your past life? Not only is your son amazing, but your daughter is just as outstanding?!" As Kikuko suddenly realized this, she couldn't help but feel a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment towards the man.

Sometimes you can't compare people. Kikuko's life was ruined by a certain PhD student, and now she has no children and can only steal other people's grandchildren to dote on.

But this person not only had an exceptionally talented son, but also gained a beautiful and capable daughter for free!

"Hey, she's not the only outstanding daughter I have," the man said smugly, raising an eyebrow. "Just you wait and see, that little girl Lan, that girl Carlos, plus these two gym leaders, they'll all be my daughters someday!"

"Tch, you smug brat!" Kikuko symbolically raised her cane at the man.

However, although her anger had subsided, she still felt very uncomfortable.

"No way! That bastard Giovanni, I have to teach him a lesson! When we get back to Indigo Plateau, I'll issue the order to demote the Viridian Gym to the second tier. As an irresponsible gym leader, Giovanni must fight 30 gym battles every month from now on, send out at least 15 badges, and submit video recordings of every battle to the League!"

"If he can't do it, I'll send an inspector to stake out the Tokiwa Dojo every day... He'd better just flip the table if he dares!"

"Oh dear, this is a terrible punishment~" The man couldn't help but chuckle.

Just imagine, a grandmaster at the champion level, if he doesn't want to flip the table, he'll be forced to face all sorts of bug-catching kids and short-shorts kids every day, and then lose more than half of his battles...

Giovanni's expression after receiving this order will probably be quite something!

But...an inspector?

Or maybe we could let that kid take on a part-time job too.

Anyway, according to him, some of the gym leaders in the alliance have shady pasts, so he might as well take the opportunity to investigate them during his trip…

Chapter 121 With so much experience, you must have had many girlfriends~

"Naza, is something on your mind?"

After leaving Celadon City, Ash noticed that Sabrina was sometimes a little dazed.

"How did you figure it out?" Naz asked, puzzled. She had always thought she had hidden it very well.

"Just consider it experience..."

Honestly, with Sabrina's level of writing all her thoughts on her sleeve, it's no wonder Ash couldn't tell!

She used to be expressionless, but that was due to the influence of her second personality, which made her hide her true self.

Now that Naz has opened her heart to the outside world, she is simply a naive girl, without any guile, and she doesn't bother to hide her thoughts...

"I was wondering why Rika gave you perfume." When Xiaozhi asked, Naz asked the question and decided to tell the truth. "I heard from someone at the department store that it wasn't an ordinary gift."

“That’s not true.” Xiao Zhi nodded. “That perfume was a gift from Miss Lijia.”

"Does 'heartfelt intention' mean she wants to be your girlfriend?"

See? People like Naz always ask whatever comes to mind.

But that's precisely why Xiaozhi finds it easier to chat with her, because he doesn't have to hide anything from her either.

“It didn’t come to that… Because of our past experiences, Miss Rika developed feelings for me, and she gave me that gift in the hope of continuing those feelings. I didn’t want to disappoint her, and since I also had feelings for her, I naturally accepted it.”

“I don’t quite understand…” Naz shook her head in confusion.

"That means we need to spend more time together," Xiaozhi explained. "As we spend more time together, we'll get to know each other better, and then we'll be able to determine where this affection is headed... Whether Ms. Rika will become my girlfriend will eventually be decided."

"Do you get along with them...?"

As Naz pondered, she unconsciously immersed herself in the situation and suddenly realized that she seemed to be experiencing something similar.

She also developed feelings for Ash, and this trip can be considered a process of getting to know each other.

Furthermore, the fact that he also gifted her his own perfume made it hard for Naz to not start having certain thoughts…

So, you also have feelings for me?

Yes, if you have a suspicion, you should just ask directly; that's a quality of a straight woman~

"Ah, this..." Xiao Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

Can he take back what he just said about 'it's easy to chat with Nazja'?

Why ask so bluntly?

"Have."

However, Ash readily admitted it.

He didn't feel he needed to hide anything... especially since he had the power of waveguides to shift the blame.

If you don't have the courage to admit it, your strength will be reduced.

"You're amazing. You're able to face your true self like that; that's something I can't do!"

Surprisingly, Sabrina didn't react to Ash's 'affection' at all; instead, she praised him earnestly.

"You're focusing on the wrong thing..." Xiao Zhi was speechless.

So, after admitting it so frankly, the response I got was... 'You're amazing'?

“This is something that even the foresight can’t provide guidance on, so I’m very curious.” Once she started talking, Naz wasn’t going to stop there. “You just mentioned experience… Is all that experience because you have many girlfriends?”

"I…"

"So how many girlfriends do you actually have?" the straight woman persisted.

"Let's say two... One of them is someone you've met, and although we haven't confessed, we're already in a relationship; as for the other one, I haven't had a chance to express my feelings yet..."

Ash sighed. Faced with Sabrina's endless stream of questions, he completely gave up trying to find a solution.

Ask away! Being a little gossipy makes you seem more like a normal girl...

That's all he can tell himself now.

Why didn't I have a chance to express my feelings?

"These things need to be discussed in person, but I can't get away right now." Ash shook his head helplessly. "Anyway, if you're really interested, just wait until the Pokémon Center in Fuchsia City. Maybe you can meet her there."

Why do we have to go there to meet?

"Because this crappy phone not only lacks video capabilities, it also can't make calls to external networks!" Ash said disdainfully, raising his Pokédex.

Even the most skilled cook can't make a meal without rice. No matter how amazing 3D Dragon is, it can't magically add a camera to a brick-like machine, let alone turn a local area network into the World Wide Web.
