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

'Can. ’

Ash was speaking to himself with regret, but the Pokémon he was managing suddenly responded.

Then he stared blankly as a 'duck' crawled into a computer next to him, and then the entire screen began to crawl with all sorts of scribbles.

From rage devices to human network teleportation technology, and even blueprints for 3D dragons, it has everything.

"Polygon II, you're amazing!" Ash exclaimed sincerely.

"After the system upgrade, both AI and network manipulation capabilities have improved; it's even possible to trace their message transmission addresses."

The electronic voice of the management sprite rang in Xiaozhi's brain, and the full map of Kanto appeared on the computer screen.

In the desolate mountains on the outskirts of Yuhong City, a conspicuous red dot was marked!

That's the location identified by the Pokémon management team; it's very likely Team Rocket's headquarters!

Should we rush over now, turn Mewtwo to our side, and then kill Giovanni?

The idea had barely formed when Ash quickly rejected it.

His main Pokémon are all in poor condition, so it's best not to take any risks... Besides, Giovanni might not even be there.

However, to be fair, the management wizard has indeed become much more powerful, and communication with it has become much smoother, no longer consisting of dry commands.

"Polygon II, you seem to be becoming more and more like a Pokémon~" Ash said thoughtfully.

The management wizard did not respond, but instead gave him another set of experimental data.

"This is... the Pokémon?"

This is also what Professor Xiba is researching, and Ash, who is familiar with the setting, naturally knows what it is!

Although the name is scary, it actually has great benefits for Pokémon!

Pokémon infected with the virus will gain double the base points, and this effect will still exist even after the virus has disappeared and the Pokémon is immune!

Simply put, they will grow at a much faster rate!

"The person you just fought is using Pokémon Virus to induce a speed boost in Crobat." The Pokémon manager suddenly interjected, "There's another piece of news... After the previous battle, Pikachu, Lucario, and Crobat have been confirmed to be infected with the virus."

'From now on, at the latest within one day, all your hands will be infected.'

"Really?" Ash was overjoyed!

I fought a match against a top-tier player, and unexpectedly, I gained something from it!

Chapter 132 The so-called cheat is actually a DM (Dungeon Fighter Online)~

Pokémon viruses can be transmitted through battles, which is a feature of the game.

However, in today's world, the transmission routes of viruses seem to be easier.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a battle; as long as there's been contact or you're traveling together in a Poké Ball, there's a high chance of getting infected with the virus.

Then Ash suddenly realized that this surprise wasn't just for him alone.

If we were to send the Pokémon infected with the virus back to the research institute…

The idea had been lingering in his mind for a long time, but he ultimately resisted the temptation to act on it immediately.

After all, it's called a virus, and it was created by Dr. Beibo, so it's hard to guarantee that it won't have some side effects.

Xiao Zhi's entire handheld device is infected, which is an irreversible fact, so he decided to wait and see.

If it is confirmed that the virus is truly only beneficial, then he can consider letting his colleagues Xiao Lan and Na Zi, or even others, benefit from it.

Of course, what he had heard before, about how Crobat could be upgraded to Champion level, was pure nonsense.

Doubling the base points only allows Pokémon to grow faster. For example, Pikachu and Lucario suddenly unleash their power in battle, which is probably due to the effects of the Pokémon Virus.

However, rapid growth does not necessarily mean a high ceiling. The strength a Pokémon can achieve is always linked to its own talent and subsequent training.

The most important thing is always the Pokémon itself, never some external thing!

There are several evolution stones inside the base, presumably stolen from nearby Staten Town; you can take them with you.

"Evolution stone?" Ash was taken aback by the sudden reminder. "How did you know about this? Did you find it on the computer?"

That said, with the development of AI for managing Pokémon, Ash can now treat it like a normal Pokémon and communicate with it without any awkwardness.

Just think of it as raising an untamed Porygon II. Anyway, this guy was already perched on my shoulder before I met Pikachu~

"The upgraded components have enhanced the radar's capabilities, allowing it to detect nearby treasures. However, due to limitations in the encyclopedia's signal, it can currently only detect a very small area," the management sprite said seriously.

"Yes, yes, I've really troubled you all this time~" Ash decided that he would go back and ask Professor Akihabara to modify his Pokédex and phone.

Install high-definition cameras, radar GPS, portable Wi-Fi—install whatever you can!

...

"It's finally over. I need to get back to Macha City as soon as possible, or Xiaolan and the others will be worried." After handing over the criminals to Officer Jenny in a nearby city, Xiaozhi immediately started planning his return journey.

"You can use the computer world." The management wizard gave Ash another surprise. "All the data from human network transmission technology has been integrated into the component. As long as there's a networked screen nearby, you can quickly travel through the computer world."

"That's amazing?" Ash was almost speechless with shock. "So, I can really use the internet to go and beat up Giovanni?"

A slight, human-like twitch appeared on the management elf's duck-like face, but it ultimately nodded silently.

"Yes...but there's a risk of data loss if the distance is too far. Currently, we can only ensure safety when traveling within the same region."

"That's amazing! It's practically a magical transformation into a digital being!" Ash praised sincerely, now truly feeling like one of the chosen ones.

So, the Management Spirit isn't actually a Pokémon, but a Digimon?

It can easily possess and operate any electronic device, and can even take people to the computer world—these are all settings that would make you feel like you're in a completely different movie.

Moreover, the halos it gave Ash now look more like badges.

The power of waveguide is courage, superpower is knowledge, and as for the power of Tokiwa, it is somewhat like a combination of love and light.

Of course, this was just Xiaozhi's wild imagination.

Just like how he might imagine 3D Dragon magically spinning around to rousing music and successfully evolving into 3D Dragon II, it's just a joke~

"It's time to go." The management sprite silently reminded him, and the screen in front of Ash suddenly turned on, sucking him in.

Once again, he rode Porygon II through the computer world. By the time Ash emerged from the other side, he had already returned to Professor Akihabara's lab.

"Ash!!" Upon suddenly seeing her beloved appear, Blue immediately rushed over anxiously.

She was truly terrified. Unit-01 was frozen in place, Ash had suddenly lost contact, and she couldn't see any of the images behind him. She had no idea what Ash was going through!

Only the occasional sounds from Ash could bring her a little relief...

"I'm sorry...it's all my fault!" Xiao Lan raised her head, her face no longer showing her usual confidence, but instead filled with self-blame.

"I didn't know this would happen... Ash, you..."

"I'm really fine." Xiao Zhi smiled and shook his head. "In fact, I'm the one who should apologize. It was my sudden mishap that made you so worried."

Dr. Akihabara's research was of course without any problems; it was just that the management spirits suddenly caused trouble. But Little Blue couldn't possibly know this, so naturally she was quite worried.

"No...no need for your apology! Just come back safe and sound..."

Xiao Lan buried her head deep in Xiao Zhi's arms, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, her whole body trembling.

Perhaps this is the real Little Blue...

She can be strong, generous, confident, and independent for him, but at the same time, she is most afraid of something happening to him.

Xiao Zhi could only pat her back gently, trying his best to soothe her emotions.

"Are you... alright?" Naza asked with concern, but did not step forward to disturb the two.

"There was a small problem, but it's been resolved." Xiao Zhi smiled reassuringly. "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"It's good to be back." Hearing this, Naz smiled with relief.

She just needed to know that he was alright; she didn't need to feel like someone else did.

Of course... if it's just the two of them, then it wouldn't really matter...

...

"Let Officer Jenny deal with these two culprits." After the commotion subsided, when it came time to deal with Yamato and Little Three, Ash shifted all the blame onto them.

The main culprit escaped, so naturally, they had to be dragged out to take the blame.

Stealing hundreds or even thousands of Poké Balls, maliciously harming Pokémon with the Rage Device, and most importantly, attacking Ash, who is an investigator...

With multiple offenses being punished concurrently, it's unclear how many years they'll be sentenced to.

Of course, Ash wouldn't have any sentimentality towards them, and wouldn't even mind fabricating more charges against them.

Everyone has their limits of compassion, so why should we spare it for scumbags?

After dealing with those two, Ash turned to the professor, who was rubbing his hands together with a hopeful expression.

"Dr. Akihabara, please prepare the account to receive the final payment... I also need to discuss with you matters concerning the establishment of a company."

Next up is the main event!

Xiao Lan's idea reminded Xiao Zhi, and he decided to use his existing assets to make a big bet!

The rise of Devon has proven that a company can grow into a giant if it has the backing of a strong player.
