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

Chapter 479 The Most Terrible in Modern Times VS The Most Terrible in History

"You mean you want me to take the ape with me?"

Ash was taken aback, but the zookeeper seemed to have made up his mind and handed the Apexisk's Poké Ball directly to him.

"Yes, I hope you can take the ape with you on your trip."

"Even when this child was still a lazy old man, he was always the most lively one in the group."

"However, perhaps it was because its unique vitality was too striking that it was subtly marginalized within the group."

"It was only after Snorlax's sudden invasion that the brave creature took on the responsibility of protecting its home and was officially accepted by its kind."

"I understand how difficult it was for it before, which is why I was so excited when I saw it fighting you just now—"

"I understand now. Perhaps the best arrangement is to let it travel with you and give it the opportunity to participate in battle after battle."

The zoo director was actually quite reluctant to part with the lazy monkeys, after all, he had personally raised each and every one of them in the Banana Paradise with great care.

But when he thought about the potentially brighter future that the ape might have, he was still willing to part with it despite the pain.

After understanding the zookeeper's intentions, Ash didn't say anything more, but instead turned to look at the hyperactive monkey.

"So, are you willing to come with me?"

'

After glancing at the zookeeper who was encouraging it with his eyes, the hyperactive ape immediately nodded vigorously.

"Yaruk!"

Compared to spending all his time eating bananas in the amusement park, the hyperactive ape clearly prefers the feeling of battling and wants to become stronger!

Ash's Farfetch'd defeated it flawlessly this time, so the hyperactive monkey acknowledged Ash's training ability.

It was very willing to follow Ash.

Since that was the case, Ash didn't refuse any longer and accepted the Poké Ball without hesitation.

"This kid has a lot of potential, he just lacks professional training. I will definitely train him well in the future."

"Please take good care of me from now on, hyperactive monkey!"

"Kill!"

With a thud, Ash returned it to its Poké Ball.

[Ding! Detected that the host has captured a special Pokémon, "Akatsuki (High Energy):" which seems to be different from ordinary individuals, possessing amazing potential.]

[Ding! A new legendary quest, "The Worst of Modern Times VS The Worst of All Time," has been successfully triggered: With identical base stats and types, Lazy and Slow Start, which one truly has the most useless ability? Use Slaking or Aggro to defeat Regigigas!]

【奖励：联盟币+100000；攻击+5：特攻+5；自由属性点+5；金色王冠+5】

[Note: If the host defeats Regigigas using Hyperactive Apex, Hyperactive Apex will evolve directly; after evolution, its potential may undergo miraculous changes —]

"What do you mean?"

Ash appeared outwardly calm, but a storm was brewing in his mind.

In his opinion, the hyperactive ape's talent was quite good, but the system said that it contained amazing potential.

I vaguely remember that of all my Pokémon, only Pikachu has received such a review.

I never expected to find such a hidden gem in a place like this; I've really struck gold.

"But they actually want me to take an overactive ape to challenge Regigigas?!"

Ash had a headache; this was a level one legendary Toilet King!

Even if we find the location, can the Hyperactive Ape really defeat the legendary Pokémon that can drag the continent?

Ash calculated in his mind how to raise Hyperactive Apex to its perfect form and then add his own stats to it to increase its attack power. Finally, he sighed.

"It must be very blue~"

But it's definitely worth a try!

"A miraculous change, huh?" Ash should pay more attention to news about Regigigas from now on.

However, he is not without clues, after all, his good buddy Xiao Mao has two level-two gods under Regigigas.

And the map we got from him back then—

"I wonder if if I elbowed Regigigas half to death first, and then let the hyperactive ape come in and defeat it, would that count as completing the mission?"

[Ding! Note: One-on-one only]

"Tch~"

Ash carefully put away the Apexisk's Poké Ball, but then the zookeeper suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, Ash, I'd like to ask you for a favor. Could you please give me that Snorlax from before?"

Hearing him say that, Xiaoyao couldn't hold back any longer.

"Huh? Why? Principal Machi, you just went through so much trouble to get Snorlax out of the park, why are you going to keep it here now?"

Ash and Max also looked puzzled, while the principal gave an embarrassed smile.

"Well, actually, after I witnessed Snorlax's Yawn move a few times before, I suddenly had an idea."

As he spoke, Principal Machi beckoned everyone to follow him to a glass window on the top floor of the hall, where he introduced Ash and the others to a beautifully decorated room.

"Look, this is the insomnia treatment room that I specially hired a super-strong construction team from the Kanto region to build in just one day!"

Xiao Zhi and his friends went closer to take a look and saw that several capsule-shaped beds were neatly arranged around a huge round bed in the treatment room, and there were pipes connecting them.

At this point, Machi continued.

"That Snorlax's Yawn move is really powerful, isn't it? Not only can it release multiple Yawn bubbles at once, but it also basically makes you fall asleep as soon as you touch them."

"If we could use this as a selling point, offering those struggling with insomnia a chance to get a good night's sleep, wouldn't it be a huge hit!"

"Anyway, Snorlax releases yawn bubbles randomly when it's sleeping normally. We just need to collect those bubbles using the machine and make use of them."

At this moment, Ash and his friends also realized what was happening.

"Yeah, Snorlax does nothing but eat and sleep all day. There are so many people in society who suffer from insomnia these days, they definitely want a chance to get a good night's sleep."

A successful yawn leads directly to deep sleep. For someone who suffers from chronic insomnia, nothing is more pleasurable than a good night's sleep.

"Damn it!" Ash now regrets not thinking of such a good idea before.

The principal is quite decisive; once she made up her mind, she immediately put it into action. She's truly a talented person.

Ash immediately handed over Snorlax to him and also planned to invest some money to support the zookeeper's plan.

When Machi first saw Ash throw such a large sum of money in front of her, she was incredulous.

"How did such a young boy, who is still traveling, come up with so much money?"

However, Machi was immediately shocked when she heard that Ash was the owner of the Red Company.

Because the super-strong team he had previously hired to build the insomnia sanatorium was a subsidiary of the Crimson Group.

It's amazing how coincidental things can happen in this world.

After some thought, Machi nodded in agreement with Ash's desire to invest in Banana Paradise.

The main reason is that he now has a very good impression of Ash, so he naturally doesn't mind letting this benefactor he admires share in the benefits.

Moreover, the new project was indeed short of money at the start, and the park had already suffered losses for a long time because of Snorlax.

This sanatorium was built by Machi through sheer grit and determination; Little Smart's investment was a huge help to him.

The original step-by-step plan was completely overturned, and Machi decided to open several branches from the start.

After all, even lazy folks can learn to yawn.

Although it's not possible to release as many yawn bubbles at once as Snorlax and use yawns as a group attack.

However, with a slight improvement to the sleeping facilities in the sanatorium, even the lazy folks can come and help out during their rest time.

This way, cost reduction and profit-making efficiency can be achieved simultaneously. Breaking even in six months, making a profit in one year, and going public in two years will no longer be a dream!

Furthermore, with Xiaozhi's investment, they can also receive GG marketing assistance from the Crimson Group, and after-sales service can be better guaranteed.

No matter how he thought about it, Machi had no reason to refuse, and he immediately gave Ash a big hug.

"Young man, you must be an angel sent by Arceus!"

"It's not that exaggerated. My main investment is actually in you, the principal, as a person."

Ash felt that the park manager was destined for great things based on his observations of the park's daily operations and his attitude towards Pokémon.

The two parties quickly finalized their respective investment details.

Ash also reassured Principal Machi that although he had invested in the company, he would never try to take over management rights.

After all, as the famously arrogant Chiang Kai-shek once said, "Micromanagement is a major taboo for leaders!"

His words were always so convincing that Xiaozhi wholeheartedly agreed.

"Let professionals do what they're good at; that's how a business can last!"

As for the troublesome matters that follow, such as the division of responsibilities, financial supervision, and profit sharing ratios, Ash will leave them to Sundae to handle as usual.

The muscular man took on the role of a hands-off boss without hesitation!

My personal secretary is so useful! (In every sense of the word)

On the same day, when Ash contacted Professor Oak to ask about feeding Snorlax, Professor Oak also gave him his newly developed formula for special energy cubes for Snorlax, a big eater.

"By eating just one of these small energy cubes, Snorlax can achieve the effect of eating the equivalent of 300 kilograms of food."

"Wow, that's amazing! As expected of Professor Oak!"

In front of the videophone in the banana plantation, everyone watched in amazement as Professor Oak demonstrated his Power Cube.

Everyone was utterly shocked, especially Ash.

While Xiaosheng excitedly clapped his hands until they were raw, Xiaozhi's heart was already in turmoil.

"Hey, Professor Oak, you've already defied the laws of physics!"

Is anyone even regulating the technology in the Pokémon world?

Of course, nobody cares. Haven't you noticed that even the creator god is usually asleep and doesn't do anything?

Anyway, there's no need for everyone to know that much about Pokémon.

It's enough that they know these energy cubes can save Ash and Principal Machi a lot of money.

"I'll give you the recipe in a moment, just follow the instructions."

"Thank you so much, Professor Oak!" Machi bowed deeply to Professor Oak.

After learning that Snorlax had wreaked havoc on most of Machi's banana plantation, Oak didn't hesitate at all and immediately gave the recipe to Machi.

Such an incredible invention was given away without hesitation, just to make up for a mistake that a Pokémon had unintentionally made.

Professor Oak truly deserves to be called a living saint; he is respected all over the world.

In this way, the cost of raising a Snorlax is reduced to the minimum, which can be regarded as the final piece of the puzzle to complete the Insomnia Treatment Room plan.

Xiao Zhi believes that in the near future, the principal will definitely give him a surprise in terms of dividends!

After resolving these matters, Ash bid farewell to Machi with his new partner, Apexisk, and continued his journey to Lilycove City.

The journey went relatively smoothly, as Ash and his friends followed the well-maintained main road and didn't get lost much.

By occasionally offering warmth to wild Pokémon and helping passersby they encountered, they crossed the forest and arrived at the port in just a few days.

"Serenity City, a metropolis known as the very edge of the land, the beginning of the sea!"

At the city entrance, Xiaoyao held up a travel guide and spoke confidently.

A grand competition is about to be held here.

As Haruka, who is striving to achieve five ribbon medals by participating in a grand celebration, it's only natural that she would come to this city~

The first thing to do is to try all the restaurants in the city!

"Sis, are we sure it's okay if we head straight to the city center's food street as soon as we enter the city? By the way, have you registered for the Glamour Contest yet?"

"Hmph, Xiao Sheng, this is your mistake of being too young."

Haruka ignored her younger brother's complaints and just kept pulling Satoshi's hand and walking forward.

"We can do things like registering for the Pokémon Contest when we get back to the Pokémon Center tonight."

"If you miss the lunch break, the top-ranked restaurant in this year's travel guide, Big Bird Spinning Restaurant, will have to close down!"

"Do you know what this means?"

"Does that mean we won't have to walk around the city center in the scorching midday sun anymore?"

At this point, Xiao Zhi replied. He really wanted to know if the restaurant's name was for real. It didn't seem like it necessarily sold food. Could he not go?

Unfortunately, May wasn't about to let him go. She grabbed Ash's hand and pulled Max's ear without any hesitation.

"Idiot, that obviously means we might not be able to eat that restaurant's most famous stew until we leave Lilycove!"

For a food-loving girl, this is of course the most important thing!

"I can't stand you anymore," Ash and Max said simultaneously, exasperated.

"Alright, alright, stop looking at me like that. Of course I've considered the Grand Contest too."

"I already decided yesterday that Combusken will be the Pokémon featured in this Pokémon Contest!"

Xiaoyao will surely wash away the shame of her previous defeat in this grand tournament.

"Just you wait and see, we'll be transformed and easily win this ribbon medal! Hahaha—"

"Xiao Zhi, seeing how smug your sister is, I have a bad feeling about this."

"I think so too."

"you!"
