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

Chapter 389 The Most Beloved Older Man: The Demon Breeder

"Xiao Gang!"

"Brock? You mean Brock, Ash's best friend, the perverted breeder who's obsessed with older men?"

After hearing Ash's words, both Max and May looked at the dark-skinned, squinty-eyed man behind them in surprise.

"What kind of weird titles are these, Ash?! How exactly did you introduce me to your friends?!"

"Relax, I'm still a perverted scumbag, of course I'll tell you the truth."

Ash, Brock, and May had all introduced each other before, but this was their first official meeting.

Xiao Zhi quickly untied Xiao Gang and the others.

[Ding! Xiao Gang: Affection +1]

It's so reassuring to encounter Ash when you're in danger.

"By the way, Brock, when did you get to Hoenn? How did you guys end up tied up here? Who were those Pokémon robbers, Team Rocket?"

"No, it was another group of guys wearing blue bandanas, but that's a long story."

"Blue bandana?" Ash's heart skipped a beat. "Those Team Aqua guys!"

I never expected that after searching for so long, I would find clues to their whereabouts here. It seems that it is finally time to take action.

Thinking this to himself, Xiao Zhi remained outwardly calm.

Once freed, Xiao Gang immediately rubbed his stiff hands and feet, and then helped the elderly man next to him to his feet.

"I received a call from my dad at the Silver Conference. My mom had actually turned the Pewter Gym into a Water-type Gym."

"My dad is too easily swayed, and no one in the family dares to stop my mom, so I rushed home and had a big fight with her. It took me a lot of effort to change my ways."

These are all family scandals that Xiao Gang had never told Xiao Zhi before. Now, Xiao Gang still feels somewhat helpless when he thinks about them.

Why are my parents such troublesome people?

"But then I cheered myself up, handed over the position of gym leader to my younger brother Jiro, and went on another trip!"

"Professor Oak told me you were traveling to the Hoenn region, and since I've never seen any of the Pokémon here, I came too."

As he spoke, Xiao Gang skillfully tidied up the messy room, invited Xiao Zhi and the others to sit down, and even prepared food for the Pokémon.

His movements were fluid and graceful, befitting the good family man he once was.

The sight of Haruka and Masaru, who had been spoiled since childhood, was completely astonishing. How could there be such a big difference between children from the same dojo?

Xiao Zhi took the hot tea that Xiao Gang handed him and took a sip.

"And then, how did you end up on Martial Arts Island?"

"The reason I came to Fighting Island is, of course, because of the rare Pokémon here—"

"You're lying, it's obviously because of the swimsuit-clad ladies here!"

Fighting Island is a famous beach paradise, and Brock's reasoning can't fool his best friend Ash!

Sure enough, the dark-skinned man immediately showed a shy expression as if he had been exposed.

"As expected of Ash's perverted brothers, even their reasons for traveling are so simple and unpretentious. And they call themselves excellent Pokémon breeders~"

"Pokémon is also one of the important reasons!!!"

That bespectacled brat is so annoying. Xiao Gang isn't going to pour him tea later.

What's wrong with a young man full of vigor wanting to admire the bodies of beautiful older women on the beach?

As the older sister, Xiaoyao immediately covered Xiaosheng's foul mouth and turned to apologize to Xiaogang, feeling embarrassed.

However, at this moment, Xiao Gang suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly asked Xiao Zhi about it.

"By the way, Ash, since you're carrying this shiny Mudkip, did you see any other baby Mudkip on your way here?"

"We encountered many, but after only a short while, they all ran back to their habitat."

"Only this special baby Mudkip was pulled down and almost got into danger."

Ash put the shiny Mudkip on the table. The little guy was a little scared when it was put down and wanted to hide in Ash's arms.

But upon seeing Grandpa Numata sitting at the table, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she ran towards Numata.

"Oh, good kids, it was Ash and you who saved it. I'm sorry I misunderstood you earlier."

"It's alright, we just came to check on it because we wanted to send it back to its habitat."

"I'm relieved to hear what you're saying, Xiaozhi. It seems that guy succeeded."

"That guy?"

Just then, a Mudkip that was much larger than a normal baby Mudkip opened the wooden door and walked in.

Upon seeing it, Xiao Gang excitedly ran over and affectionately squatted down to stroke its head.

"Mutant is finally back! Thankfully you're safe and sound. Are the babies alright too?"

"Gara gara!"

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Ash and his friends looked at the situation with blank expressions, completely bewildered.

"Xiaogang, what exactly happened?"

At this moment, Numata finally recovered from the kidnapping.

"I'll handle the rest."

"Mr. Numata."

"Just call me Grandpa Swamp."

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Grandpa Numa turned out to be a very kind old man.

He quickly waved his hand, telling Xiaozhi and the others not to be so polite, and after taking a sip of tea, he began to explain in detail.

"Actually, I ran into Xiao Gang, who was lost, in the forest a few days ago."

"Because ordinary people are not allowed to enter this place, only Pokémon thieves usually use violent means to break through the fence and smuggle in, so there was a bit of a misunderstanding."

"I was quite surprised when I found out that he had actually climbed up from the waterfall."

"Hey, what's with all those expressions?"

At this moment, Grandpa Swamp looked at the three of them, who all looked constipated, with a puzzled expression.

"So this place is off-limits."

"Um, I'm sorry, actually we are also—"

May and Max glanced at Ash, who could only awkwardly turn his head away.

"What? You guys climbed up from the waterfall too!"

I thought that my protection of the cultivation base was something that ordinary people could never break through, but I never expected that so many people would break in in such a short time.

"Are young people these days so physically weak?"

Grandpa Numa couldn't help but sigh that he was really old, and after being shocked for a few moments, he was able to continue speaking.

"After Brock helped me treat a sick Mudkip, I learned that he was aiming to become a Pokémon breeder but didn't have a place to live yet."

"I brought him to my breeding base for a temporary stay, and also to show him the hatching process of baby marlin."

Of course, the main reason is that Xiaogang's cooking is too delicious.

"I never expected that a few bad guys with blue bandanas would suddenly break in this morning, trying to steal my Mudkip."

"Their sharp-toothed fish were incredibly ferocious. Luckily, Xiao Gang was there and managed to repel them."

Brock was, after all, a former Gym Leader of Pewter City, and his Pokémon training skills were certainly better than those of the evil organization's henchmen.

"But then they cunningly used the unhatched eggs in the room as a threat, demanding that we not resist—"

That's why Brock and Grandpa Swamp were doing bondage play here. When Ash first saw it, he thought it was someone's perverted hobby.

I almost exclaimed in shock, "Has human p reached this level?"

"But this guy arrived just in time and rescued the eggs and the baby Mudkip."

"Thanks to its active performance, everyone was spared from disaster."

At this moment, Xiao Gang also returned to the table with the mature Mudkip.

As soon as Mudkip arrived, it immediately ran to the baby Mudkip and rubbed against it with its antennae fins, causing the adorable May to squeal again.

"So that's how the fight marks at the entrance came about," Ash said with a maternal smile as he looked at the babies.

"Where are the bad guys? Why did they just tie you up and leave you here?"
