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

Chapter 422 Pokejigu

"What the hell? Where did this bedbug come from, blocking the way?"

The arrogant Han Zuo was instantly sent flying by a powerful force, while Xiao Zhi, who had thrown the punch, hadn't even seen who he had just hit.

He stood at the very front amidst a halo of light. Just now, Han Zuo walked straight towards him and almost bumped into him.

Luckily, Ash instinctively threw a punch, otherwise he would have almost ended up in a close embrace with the stinky old man.

"She's not some pretty girl, why would she throw herself at me!"

"Damn it, who—are you?"

As he stood up, rubbing his stinging nose, Han Zuo immediately recognized Xiao Zhi and the others' faces and flew into a rage.

"You wretched brats, I've finally found you! So you've managed to sneak into the amusement park."

"Han Zuo, what are you doing here? Where is my father?"

Princess Sarah glanced curiously at the guards around her. The quick-witted girl immediately realized something was wrong and became worried about her father's safety.

Han Zuo simply laughed arrogantly in response.

"Are you so worried about that idiot? Don't worry, my dear niece, I'll let you see him soon."

"Hurry up and start the cannons! Blow them all into the sky!"

Although Xiaoxia was seen carrying Togepi, Hanzo had now found the entrance to the park and no longer needed Xiaoxia's Togepi, so he acted without any hesitation.

At this moment, Han Zuo felt only ecstatic joy. These bastards who had been so devoted to him had caused him to become a prisoner, and now he could finally get his revenge.

And his beloved niece Sarah, whom he considered a major threat, was also there. "Hahaha, it's like even God is on my side! It must be God's will to help me overcome all the obstacles on my path to the throne!"

Because Ash's high combat power had left a deep impression on Hanzo, he wanted to prevent another encounter with Ash.

Once Han Zuo escaped from the palace, he was always accompanied by guards who would push the cannon he had been secretly researching with him wherever he went.

Now is the perfect time to activate it and blast Ash and his friends to smithereens.

He would bring the guards around to surround the temple; they were all his most trusted confidants whom he had trained since childhood.

They obeyed Hanzo's orders without question, and even when ordered to attack Princess Sarah, they did not hesitate for a moment.

The guards immediately pulled down the black cloth covering the objects beside them, and several cannons that had been set up around the temple instantly aimed at Ash and his friends in the center of the temple square.

These cannons have an astonishing caliber, and each one looks like a gun turret on a star destroyer. That bastard Han Zuo is planning to blow the entire temple to smithereens.

The old priest was greatly alarmed upon seeing this.

"Are you crazy, Hanzo? Aren't you afraid of affecting the entrance to the park? Then you'll never get Togepi again!"

"Who are you trying to scare, you old man? Don't think I don't know that the entrance to the park has been here for tens of thousands of years."

"The temple was only built to conceal the entrance. Even if I blew up the entire mountain beneath the temple, the entrance would remain unharmed."

Han Zuo immediately retreated, while ordering the Shell-Shedding Ninja and Iron-Faced Ninja to use their Guard to protect him firmly. Then, he immediately waved his hand and shouted.

"Fire! Blow up the barrier guarding the entrance!"

These cannons are not the gunpowder cannons that Ash remembers, but rather energy-storing cannons with a strange technological line unique to the Pokémon world.

Although it was impossible to tell where the cannons were powered, there was a tremendous force accumulating wildly at the muzzle.

A dangerous aura similar to the Hyper Beam immediately surged towards Ash and his friends, as massive beams of energy poured out.

The people behind Ash were startled, and Princess Sarah hugged Ash's arm tightly.

Just as Ash was about to raise his hand to set up the Aura Shield, Togepi, which Misty was holding, suddenly flew up.

"Pok-pi!"

At this moment, several Togepi that Ash and his friends had previously healed flew out from the passage behind them, echoing Misty's Togepi in the sky.

A gentle energy instantly enveloped Ash and his friends, and the incredibly powerful energy beams that struck them vanished without a trace, as if they had been thrown into the sea.

"What? Is this the protective power of Paradise?" Han Zuo's eyes widened in surprise.

The cannons he painstakingly built using ancient technology—cannons that neither the alliance nor the surrounding countries possessed—were utterly useless.

While he was terrified, he was also filled with boundless desire.

"This is exactly the power I've always wanted!"

He immediately roared excitedly at his men, "Increase the power! Keep attacking!!!"

"But Regent—Your Majesty, we really can't increase the power of the cannons any further. Prolonged high-power operation could cause the cannons to explode."

"Shut up! I am the king! I refuse to believe Togepi's protective power can last longer than my cannons bombard it! Activate again!"

Upon hearing this, Han Zuo's researchers had no choice but to order their subordinates to continue increasing the energy supply.

Even when Han Zuo turned the cannons to their maximum power and even had his Pokémon attack together, the light shield at the center of the energy waves remained completely still.

"It's unbelievable that the protective shield created by Togepi's protective power might be even stronger than my full-strength shield," Ash exclaimed in amazement.

A single Togepi isn't very strong, but when several of them come together, they become incredibly powerful.

For some reason, this situation reminded Ash of Unknown Totem.

In Han Zuo's frenzied state, his cannons finally exploded as he had wished.

The unique nature of technology makes the explosions of cannons quite extraordinary; the massive energy at the bottom of the cannon directly ruptures the barrel and is released into the sky.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and enormous energy gathered in the sky above the entire royal city until it coalesced into an energy wave the size of a football field, which then rapidly fell to the ground.

The terrifying commotion caused nearly a million people in the entire royal city to stop in their tracks and look up, followed by a wave of panic.

"What's going on? Is this divine punishment?"

"It seems to be coming from the temple."

"What? First the king and princess fell ill, and now the temple is in trouble. Has the Kingdom of Miraju lost the protection of the great god Togepi?"

Even Han Zuo, inside the temple, looked up at the sky in disbelief.

"What—how could this be—"

Looking at the enormous, unbelievable energy, Han Zuo was terrified. He realized he had really messed up this time.

"What exactly did that tall old man who sold me the design blueprints give me?!"

Now it's not just the temple anymore; the entire capital of the Kingdom of Miraju may be blown to smithereens.

If the capital city, which embodies the essence of the entire Miraju kingdom, is gone, what's the point of his rule?

At this moment, Han Zuo wanted to stop it but was powerless to do so, and wanted to escape but was unwilling to fail, so he was extremely conflicted.

Before he could even struggle to figure things out, he suddenly felt a pair of large hands grab his neck.

-

"Really, you always manage to give me a little surprise."

"Uh—who is it—"

"Hmph."

That familiar chokehold technique—who else could it be but Ash Ketchum?

He somehow stepped out of Togepi's protective shield and quietly appeared behind Hanzo, taking him into custody.

"Damn it—Shedding Skin Ninja Sunlight Blaze, Flame Iron Mask Ninja Hyper Beam!"

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

Before the three little bugs could even move, they were instantly stunned by the lightning bolts fired by the electric mouse on Ash's shoulder.

Xiao Zhi immediately choked Han Zuo unconscious and tossed him aside like trash.

But just where Ash wasn't looking, an invisible Pokémon that looked like a green planarian attached to Hanzo's arm suddenly woke up.

It carefully examined Xiao Zhi with its strangely different sized eyes, and then very decisively jumped off Hanzo.

It quietly arrived on Ash's body.

It appears to be full of life, but the waveguide is as undetectable as a leaf.

At this moment, Ash was still intently watching the enormous energy ball that was falling continuously in the sky, making it even more difficult for him to observe anything attaching to him.

Faced with the current crisis, Xiao Zhi frowned slightly and glanced at the five cannons that had already exploded.

"It's quite troublesome to solve something this big, but Han Zuo's little inventions are quite useful."

Aside from the evil faction, righteous forces like the League and various gyms generally wouldn't bother having researchers develop such offensive weapons.

Xiao Zhi never expected to see this with Han Zuo. "This war maniac must have spent a lot of money to develop this cannon."

The muscular man was greatly intrigued; he had already decided that he would have to find a way to steal those five cannons afterward.

Of course, we still need to solve the problem in the sky first. Ash raised his hands above his head, assuming the posture of gathering a Spirit Bomb, and began to concentrate all his power in the air.

A blue wave missile began to rapidly converge and kept growing larger.

Ash didn't stop until the wave missiles grew to be about the same size as the energy waves in the sky.

"Wow, this is truly the biggest wave missile I've ever condensed."

The stone slab inside Ash's body spun rapidly, and a quarter of the total energy that Arceus had blessed had already been depleted.

The old priest closest to him was so frightened that his jaw almost dislocated.

"By the great Togepi—"

Seeing that the time was right, Ash immediately threw the Wave Missile into the air with all his might.

The wave missile collided with the descending energy wave at an astonishing speed, instantly unleashing a tremendous roar in the high sky.

The terrifying shockwave instantly knocked down all the guards around them.

The old priest was also strong and healthy, and was unharmed. He forced himself to move and looked up with difficulty.

"Is it resolved?"

At this moment, the sky above the royal city was shrouded in thick smoke from the explosion, as if it had turned dark. Everyone could only look up with hopeful eyes.

But Xiao Zhi had already sensed it, and he touched his head sheepishly and smiled at the old priest.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it seems like it hasn't happened yet."

He forgot that the power of waveguides and the energy waves of the cannon are not opposing forces, so these two enormous energies cannot cancel each other out.

Although most of the falling energy waves were dispersed by the waveguide force, the remaining force was still enormous, and it was dispersed by the shock wave into small meteors that continued to fall.

It was like a colossal meteor being released.

The situation is a little better than before, but only slightly better.

First it was the atomic bombs falling, now it's the meteor showers; it's hard to say which one looks scarier.

With no other option, Ash immediately took out all his special Poké Balls, preparing to release all his legendary Pokémon.

At the same time, his entire body muscles tensed up, and his breathing was also brought to its maximum.

Always ready to take off, together with their Pokémon, to shatter this colossal Dragon Meteor once again, striving to minimize the damage to people.

At this moment, everyone inside the Pokémon Shield was also watching the situation in the sky with bated breath.

The usually cheerful Xiaoyao now looked serious, while Xiaosheng clutched his head and yelled that they were doomed.

Princess Sarah was so frightened that she knelt down, clasped her hands together, and began to pray for a miracle. Everyone was terrified by the apocalyptic scene before them.

At this moment, Xiaoxia was the most fearless in the face of danger.

After all, she's seen many big events with Ash, including the real apocalypse, so what's there to be afraid of this time?

She gently comforted everyone, gradually calming them down. At the same time, as if remembering something, she immediately looked up at the Togepi above her.

"Togepi, can you make the shield bigger to protect more people?"

"Yes, Father once said that Togepi's power is a powerful force capable of protecting the entire Kingdom of Miraju."

Princess Sarah then remembered the protective power of the paradise and quickly got up to plead.

"Please, Togepi, even if you don't protect us, just protect more people in the capital."

Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng quickly joined in the plea.

"Poke, Togepi—"

At that moment, the Togepi felt the gentleness emanating from everyone, and several beams of light shot from the other Togepi onto the top of Misty's Togepi's head.

In an instant, Xiaoxia's Togepi emitted a dazzling white light.

Her Togepi evolved.

The evil eggshell alien's neck instantly grew longer, and two cute little wings sprouted from its back. The eggshell gradually merged with its body, and its entire body turned pure white.

"This is Togekiss—" May immediately took out her Pokédex and scanned it.

"Togepi, the Pokémon of happiness, is the evolved form of Togepi. It is said that it appears to bring happiness to kind people."

"Togepi—Zigglyph." Misty had no idea that her Togepi would evolve.

Togepi, which she had always thought of as a baby, suddenly evolved in the blink of an eye.

After evolving, Togekiss's eyes become gentle yet resolute.

At its soft call, it and the Togepi glowed together.

The shields they summoned quickly grew to an enormous size.

In the blink of an eye, it grew so large that it could protect the entire capital, but it wasn't over yet; the shield continued to expand outwards.

Ash hadn't even taken off yet, and the expanding shield was already big enough to block the giant Draco Meteor.

"The protective power of Paradise," Ash said with a smile, looking at the milky-white protective shield in the sky.

The energy meteors bombarded the shield intensely, but were gently enveloped and dissolved by it.

Togekiku, carrying Togepi, traveled through the capital, spreading its warm and gentle power to all the people.

The panic among the crowd was calmed, and even the wounds inflicted on some people by the riots were instantly healed.

People gratefully bowed in the direction of the temple, thanking the person who had just launched the Blue Wave Missile and the Pokémon.

A catastrophe that had engulfed the capital was thus averted without a trace.
