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

Chapter 485 Help Me, Doraemon

"That's amazing! I've only been traveling for a short time and I've already collected three such rare Pokémon, and they've all evolved to the second stage."

Xiaoyao was incredibly envious; it had taken her a lot of effort to evolve her Merach.

Meanwhile, Xiao Sheng was also marveling at Jimmy's past.

"As the saying goes, luck is also a part of ability. Mr. Jimmy, with your luck alone, you're already poised to create a future. I'm sure your upcoming trip will go very smoothly!"

But listening to their compliments, Jimmy showed no joy; instead, tears welled up in his eyes.

"If only that were true. You wouldn't believe it, I haven't won a single Pokémon battle since I started my journey."

Not even once?

"Yes, we suffered defeat after defeat, a complete and utter loss."

"Look, I only have one badge."

He pulled out the only badge he had ever acquired from his pocket, and upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was a teardrop-shaped blue badge.

Xiao Zhi recognized it at first glance.

"Isn't that the Sapphire Badge from the Cerulean City Gym? To beat Misty, you must be a pretty good trainer."

But to everyone's surprise, Jimmy immediately shook his head.

"You've misunderstood, Ash. That's not the case."

"This badge was actually given to me by a very beautiful lady named Sakura when I happened to be passing by the Cerulean Gym. She asked me and my Pokémon to help her clean her swimming pool."

"Later, the lady was very happy and gave me this badge."

"So you didn't battle the Gym Leader then?"

"Yes, it seems that the gym leader, Misty, was out at the time."

The time he mentioned was exactly the time when Misty came to Hoenn to find Ash and go to the Mirazu Kingdom together.

"That's quite a coincidence."

A gym badge is a symbol of a gym leader's recognition of a challenger; it's essentially the gym endorsing the challenger's strength with its own reputation.

I didn't expect Sakura to be so unreliable; she just gave away the gym badge without warning.

Ash can already imagine Misty's furious reaction when she returns, but he'll definitely be fooled by Sakura's pitiful fake crying and forgive her.

This has become a regular feature of the Cerulean Dojo.

At this point, Ash was even more surprised than when he had heard about Ash's lucky deeds.

To lose like this, even with Wartortle, Bulbasaur, and Charmeleon, Jimmy is truly a talent.

"So why did you come here to study?"

Jimmy lowered his head even further when the topic came up.

"Well, I came to Mizushima City for tourism after I lost all confidence while traveling in the Kanto region."

"Because I wanted to think carefully about where I wanted to go in the future, I rented a small wooden boat that was moored in the harbor."

"I just hoped that the sea breeze would calm me down, but I accidentally fell asleep, and the oar rope securing the small boat suddenly came loose at some point."

"While I was asleep, my companions and I were swept away by the current and drifted to this remote place."

"And then you joined the referee training academy?"

Ash held Jirachi, who was trying to fly out and hit Jimmy on the head, and asked, "..."

"That's right, that's how it happened."

"When I first came here, I also thought it was fate, so I planned to give up the path of Pokémon trainer and focus on becoming a professional referee."

"But now, even if I try my best, I still fail."

"In the end, whether I'm a Pokémon Trainer or a referee, I can't be up to par. It's so tragic, waaaaah————"

When he got to the sad part, Jimmy immediately lay down on the ground and cried. The turtles quickly came over to comfort him, which calmed him down a little.

But then, Jimmy suddenly looked up and stared intently at Ash.

"Ash, that little star-headed Pokémon next to you, that must be Jirachi, right? There are legends about it in my hometown."

"As a wish-granting Pokémon, Jirachi naturally likes to stay with lucky people. It's so clingy to you, you must be a lucky person like me."

"Please, could you teach me how to get my life back on track?"

"I possess extraordinary luck?"

Ash was completely bewildered by this sudden request; he didn't feel like he was usually so lucky.

"I get lost every day, and I have a lot of bad luck."

"But you're a powerful trainer. I remembered that after I showed you around the school this afternoon."

"Ash from Pallet Town has been undefeated since his debut with Pikachu. He won the League Championship in his first year. Your legend is spreading throughout Kanto. You are much stronger than me no matter what."

"My elders have said that a coward like me has the good fortune of great luck, but not the fate of great luck."

"A gift that is not commensurate with my position will cause me to experience greater misfortune with every small stroke of good fortune."

"So please, since we're from the same region, teach me how to change myself, Ash-senpai!"

As Jimmy knelt down, weeping and begging, his three little friends also looked at Ash with their big, watery eyes.

It made Xiao Zhi dizzy.

"I really can't help you."

Doraemon couldn't stand being begged, so he had no choice but to agree to Jimmy Nobita's request, since Nobita had given him money that day.

"But since you suddenly said that to me, I don't know what to do."

"Please think of a way!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new legendary quest, "To Be Luck or Not, That Is the Question": Please help Jimmy become a truly lucky person!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins + Random; Free Attribute Points + Random; Silver Crown + Random: Gain new trait: Super High School Level Luck]

"————Okay, I have no choice but to help Jimmy now, but to be honest, how exactly should I help him?"

Looking at this pathetic man in front of him, who was begging him with a standard slumped posture, Xiao Zhi felt a headache coming on.

But overthinking wasn't in the muscle man's style. He strode up to Jimmy and lifted him off the ground.

"You're usually like a sports idiot, you'll trip and fall on flat ground, you'll fall into the river if you walk along the riverbank—it all comes down to your physical strength, right?"

Even when Ash encounters misfortune, he can easily handle it all with his powerful strength.

For him, there was no such thing as good fortune; he simply crushed misfortune.

He's now projecting Jimmy onto Nobita.

A loser who stumbles and falls while walking, someone who looks like he has a miserable life, how could he possibly be truly happy?

So let's start by improving our physical fitness.

"Come here, let me check if your body is developing normally."

Xiao Zhi immediately got to work; he was going to use his expert hands, which were well-versed in human anatomy, to give Jimmy a proper diagnosis that night.

"Hmm, this isn't a good idea."

A terrifying gaze swept over him, and Jimmy was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.

But when Ash snapped his fingers, May and Max immediately lifted him up from both sides.

"Hmph, this is all for your own good!"

Jimmy, whose tendons were suddenly squeezed tightly, screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Ah, Zhi-ge, no!"

"Sweetie, let me see!"
