Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master.

Chapter 346 Haruka's Beautiful Girl Youth Story is Definitely Problematic

Hoenn region, Little White Town.

In a pristine, unspoiled town, a lovely young girl is speeding along a mountain path on her bicycle.

"My name is Xiaoyao, and I am X years old."

"On their way to the research institute where Dad's good friend Professor Birch works, to pick up their first Pokémon."

As a cute and beautiful girl with a lot of inner monologues, Xiaoyao adds her own narration to her wonderful trip as she rides her bike.

She was extremely excited because she had finally reached the required age in the Pokémon League and could officially travel as a Pokémon Trainer.

Although that's what she said, Xiaoyao just wanted to leave home and travel to different places to see new things.

After all, she is the daughter of a famous gym leader, yet she is somewhat afraid of Pokémon.

However, after thinking that traveling would allow her to escape her parents' nagging, Xiaoyao resolutely decided to set off.

Although she had heard strange rumors about Black Rayquaza attacking luxury cruise ships in the waters near Weibai Town before leaving home, and was almost startled and tripped by a Night Patrol Spirit that suddenly appeared halfway through her journey—

But the girl looked at the outline of the main urban area of ​​Weibai Town that was already faintly visible in front of her, and felt the pleasant breeze brushing against her cheeks.

"Sunny and beautiful scenery — Wow, Weibai Town is such a beautiful place."

"It's so great to be able to travel!"

The beautiful morning sun made Xiaoyao feel cheerful, and she shook her head to quickly banish all the bad thoughts from her mind.

"Anyway, I've always been lucky, and things will definitely go smoothly from now on."

"Alright, my Haruka's youthful travel story officially begins!"

The finishing touch: "Roar! Roar! Roar!" (I'm going to eat you, you wretched human!)

"Get out of my way, you stinking worm!"

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

"Pikachu!"

On the outskirts of Weibai Town, the sea is turbulent.

A handsome, muscular man and a yellow-skinned rat are currently engaged in a fierce battle with a black Rayquaza while sitting in a lone boat.

The muscular man and the yellow-skinned mouse who could fight the legendary sky overlord so evenly must be Ash and Pikachu.

Ash is currently feeling incredibly uncomfortable, like he's eaten shit.

Because Rayquaza has already chased him forty nautical miles!

Ash originally booked the most luxurious cruise ship ticket at Vermilion Harbor, intending to arrive in the Hoenn region comfortably before starting his own journey.

However, some trouble arose during their voyage to Hoenn.

Just before Ash left, he suddenly realized that his company seemed to have a batch of valuable goods that were to be shipped to the Hoenn region.

Since I was going to Hoenn anyway, I figured I could store this batch of goods in my system space and take them with me, saving a considerable amount on transoceanic shipping costs.

Without much thought, he casually dumped the entire batch of goods into the system space.

Then one day on the cruise ship, Ash, as usual, took Pikachu to complete the daily missions and collect the reward Poké Balls.

The system suddenly notified him that his system space was running out of space. Before Xiaozhi could react, the system automatically released the items that Xiaozhi had previously placed in the first space.

When the triangular organ was pushed out of the system space and appeared in Xiao Zhi's hand, he was dumbfounded.

"So the spatial grid system is still in use?!"

The space slots given by daily and weekly tasks had long since made Ash think that he had an endless supply of space.

He hadn't paid attention to whether there was any system space left for several years, and he never expected that trying to save some money would lead to such a mishap.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest: "New Region, New Adventure!"]

[Mission Objective: The greedy muscleman has been punished by heaven, but he must be happy to see a rare Pokémon! Please resolve this crisis.]

"I'm not happy at all!"

"I only brought an extra 10,000 tons of cargo, is it really that big of a deal?"

"Pikachu, Pikachu!" (They brought way too many!)

(Note: 10,000 tons is roughly equivalent to the daily deadweight tonnage of a medium-sized ocean-going freighter.)

The moment the triangular organ appeared, the black Rayquaza above the ozone layer instantly sensed it.

After a long search, the triangular organ finally stirred. It swiftly sliced ​​through the air, creating sonic booms, and charged towards Ash.

The way they launched their attack so aggressively without saying a word almost scared the cruise ship's captain so much that he wanted to jump into the sea and commit suicide.

There's nothing I can do; after all, I brought this trouble upon myself.

In order to avoid endangering the many tourists on the ship, Ash had no choice but to immediately lure Rayquaza away with Pikachu.

Meanwhile, during his escape, Ash also contacted Professor Birch, who was in charge of meeting him in the Hoenn region, to come and provide support.

After all, this place is already very close to the land of the Hoenn region. If he were to fight Rayquaza with all his might, he wouldn't be able to protect the other facilities here.

Using the triangular organ as bait, they fought their way through, finally stumbling and falling until they reached the waters off the coast of Weibai Town.

At this point, Ash had already thrown fifty Poké Balls onto the ship, freeing up one system slot, and then put the Tri-Organ back in.

But the Thunderbolt continued to relentlessly pursue him, seemingly determined not to give up until it had snatched back the triangular organ.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!!!" (Humans deserve to die, kill, kill, kill!!!)

Well, judging from the current state of Black Rayquaza, it seems that even if Ash returns the Tri-Organ, it won't give up.

Although Rayquaza is often portrayed as a positive figure in legends, mediating the conflict between Kyogre and Groudon, its personality is actually quite terrible.

It is a vicious Pokémon.

And this "Neko-Kujira" that chases after Ash has an even worse personality; it's not only aggressive but also petty.

Xiao Zhi messed with it, which is like stepping in dog poop.

Rayquaza's ultimate moves are all aimed at Ash and Pikachu's weak points.

boom!

Ash used a Spinning Kick to knock Rayquaza away from behind, who was charging at him with Extreme Speed. As soon as he pulled his foot back, he felt a tingling sensation in his knee.

The super-sturdy kayak that he had just bought from the system store also developed cracks at that moment.

"Tsk, that's really strong."

Rayquaza was even kicked senseless by Ash.

"Roar, roar?" (Are you kidding me? Is this even human?)

This guy in front of me is definitely a cosmic virus in disguise!

Black Sky Piercing was instantly overwhelmed by the surge of energy, and its attacks became even more ferocious.

At that moment, Pikachu immediately jumped up and landed on Rayquaza's head.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu unleashed its full power with Thunderbolt, temporarily restraining Rayquaza's movements.

While Pikachu and Rayquaza were locked in battle, Ash took the opportunity to throw a Master Ball from the side, hitting the worm.

But as soon as the Master Ball captured Rayquaza into the Poké Ball, it exploded instantly.

The black Rayquaza flew out from inside, only to be caught again by the Poké Ball, which seemed to have added a layer of bloodlust to it, making its aura even more terrifying.

"Are you kidding me? This is a fake Master Ball!"

Ash has thrown three Master Balls so far, but they haven't even shaken the balls.

At this moment, this stingy, muscular man's heart was bleeding with pain.

"My 30 million, my 30 million ah ...

"Do you know how much of my savings I spent building those Pokémon habitats?"

"Now that you're inside the Master Ball, you'd better stay inside and not come out!"

This black Rayquaza is indeed excessively strong, and it also has an aura that Ash is very familiar with.

If I had to pinpoint where I'd seen it before, it seemed somewhat similar to the aura emanating from the three legendary birds that Ash had encountered on Asia Island.

"Could this be the reason why Master Balls can't be successfully caught?"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Ash temporarily abandoned his plan to capture it.

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail on Rayquaza's neck to interrupt its finishing touch!!!"

"Pikachu!"

Facing the black dragon head charging at it again, Pikachu immediately spun around and deftly tossed itself into the air.

The Iron Tail struck Rayquaza precisely on the neck, but after a brief stalemate, Pikachu was knocked away.

"No, Pikachu has been hit by the actor debuff in the new area, and its stamina is already depleted."

There was no other way but for Ash to do it himself.

Super Newbie 3, Initiation!

Ash suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura, causing violent waves to surge in the surrounding sea.

He immediately took to the air and began to fight with the black Rayquaza.

—Wide-area destruction. At this moment, Haruka finally arrived at the entrance of Dr. Birch's laboratory.

To her surprise, Professor Oda wasn't at the research institute; instead, a green-haired assistant came out to greet her.

"Are you May, the little sister who came to collect her Pokémon today?"

"I'm sorry, Professor Birch just received a phone call and rushed off to the harbor with his Pokémon."

"He asked you to wait for him here."

"Oh, I see." Xiaoyao tilted her head and gave a bright smile, then got back on her bicycle and waved goodbye.

"Then I'll go find him at the harbor!"

"I hate waiting the most."

"Wait a minute, Haruka-chan—" The doctor's assistant tried to stop her, but Haruka-chan had already vanished in a flash.

"Sigh, this young lady is really impatient."

The distance from the Birch Lab to the harbor in Little White Town wasn't far, and Haruka quickly rode there.

Humming a bright little tune, she casually parked her bicycle by the harbor, raised her little head and looked around for a moment before immediately spotting Dr. Birch.

The lively, athletic girl immediately waved and called out from afar, "Professor Birch, this is May, who was supposed to come get her Pokémon today."

"Please give me a Pokémon."

"What, Haruka!" Professor Birch exclaimed in surprise. "This child grew up like this?"

He had just recently had Officer Jenny from Weibai Town lead a team to seal off the area and evacuate the residents.

Unexpectedly, Haruka rode her bicycle directly from the mountain road, bypassing Officer Jenny's blockade zone.

The girl had no idea what was about to happen. She only noticed that Professor Birch in the distance was suddenly sweating profusely. She wondered if it was because he was too fat and therefore so afraid of the heat.

"No, Haruka, you need to go to safety right now! It's extremely dangerous here!" Oda Scroll responded in Haruka's direction.

If something were to happen to Xiaoyao here, he wouldn't know how he would explain it to his good friend Qianli.

But Xiaoyao looked up and saw that the sky was still clear and blue.

"What are you talking about, Doctor?"

"Isn't this a sunny day? How could there be any danger?"

She waved her hand dismissively and continued walking toward Professor Birch's location.

As I walked, I comfortably opened my arms and closed my eyes to feel the gentle breeze blowing across the sea.

"It's so comfortable to be close to nature here!"

Then, when she opened her eyes again, what suddenly appeared in front of her was a pitch-black, blood-red maw.

"ah!!!"

"Haruka, get out of the way!" Birch immediately rushed over, but unfortunately he was too slow and couldn't catch up.

Just when things were at their most critical, Ash finally arrived in time.

"A million-ton punch!"

"Roar~"

He pulled Xiaoyao behind him and immediately unleashed a powerful punch, sending Rayquaza flying in an instant.

[Ding! Xiaoyao: Affection +8]

Are you alright?

"Hmm, it's nothing—probably—"

The athletic girl was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she only managed to stand up with a little help from Ash.

At this moment, her mind was a complete mess. "What is all this nonsense?!"

A black Rayquaza appeared out of nowhere, and a mysterious boy could knock Rayquaza away.

It doesn't seem right to encounter something like this on the very first day of a trip!

"I haven't even gotten my own Pokémon yet."

Just then, Pikachu finally arrived from afar, and Ash immediately followed it towards the direction Rayquaza had flown out.

"Pikachu, use Thunder at full power and suppress Rayquaza!"

"Pikachu!"

"Oh no, my bicycle!"

"What deep-seated grudge do I have against bicycles that I have to destroy them?"

Just as Ash was punching Nigakure, he was momentarily stunned by a suddenly popped-up mission message.

At this moment, Rayquaza, which had been briefly suppressed, immediately raised its head and opened its mouth, attempting to fire a Hyper Beam in retaliation.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!" (Watch out, Ash, Thunderbolt!)

"Oh no, that person's bicycle has completely turned to ashes!"
