Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

It sidled up to Wataru, grabbed the trainer's signature cape, and its round eyes were filled with disbelief.

"roar?!"

So...we're Team Rocket?!

Is he an undercover agent?!

Watari: "......"

He took a deep breath.

He had heard that the more powerful a Pokémon is, the more it is lacking in some aspect—now it seems that his own Dragonite perfectly proves this statement.

Although it is unknown why the situation developed in this way.

But right now, the most important thing is to control the situation, get that list, and see exactly how many players the Rockets have on board.

Too lazy to explain to his silly dragon anymore, he turned and walked to the bow of the boat.

Ash was standing there, looking up and talking to Tentacruel.

The giant beast, which had been ferocious and hungry not long ago, was now as docile as a carp king, even shaking its massive head up and down from time to time, as if it were listening attentively.

As Lance approached, he overheard Ash speaking in an unusually serious tone:

"...So you can't bully others just because you've grown up, understand?"

"With great power comes great responsibility!"

"Crunch!"

The stinging jellyfish nodded vigorously, its eyes full of conviction.

Now it is completely convinced by Ash.

Not only because the opponent was strong, but also because after Ash heard that it was hungry that it made such a commotion, he immediately sent someone to prepare food.

Such kindness reminded it that it had just wanted to attack the other party...

A wave of intense guilt washed over the stinging jellyfish.

I'm such a jerk!

A hint of surprise flashed in Du's eyes.

This ability to communicate with Pokémon...

Could it be that this boy also possesses the power of Eternal Light?

He cleared his throat, and Ash and Tentacruel turned their heads at the same time.

"Mr. Watari!"

Xiao Zhi stood up, his eyes shining.

"Club—!"

The jellyfish suddenly shrank back, its massive body struggling to hide behind Ash, its tentacles pointing at Lance in an accusatory tone.

Brother, watch out!

Anyone who brings a Dragonite is definitely not a good person!

These words were spoken.

Dragonite, standing to the side, inexplicably felt guilty and shrank its neck.

If it had been before, it would have immediately unleashed a destructive beam.

But now...

Okay, it seems that's indeed the case?

Watari nods.

His gaze, however, fell upon the stinging jellyfish, which was faintly glowing.

As for Zheng Hui... the research on the giant Dragonite has completely lost its trail due to his own negligence.

If we could bring this venomous jellyfish, which has clearly undergone a special mutation, back and give it to Zheng Hui...

Perhaps, this can be considered a form of compensation?

The boy was clearly close to it.

Perhaps we could ask him to help communicate with them?

Du carefully considered the words in his mind, trying to express himself in a tactful and friendly manner.

However, once the words were spoken, the tone completely changed:

“Tell it, ‘Come with me.’”

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia: "?"

Are you going to be this rude from the start? Not even a word of discussion?

As expected, the rumors that Yulongdu was cold, aloof, and difficult to get along with were not unfounded.

Dragonite silently covered its face with its claws.

The trainer has fallen into his old habit of not being able to speak properly again.

The jellyfish stiffened under Lance's direct and indifferent gaze, and its tentacles instinctively wrapped tightly around Ash's arm.

But Ash's reaction was unexpected.

He blinked, then clapped his hands as if suddenly realizing something.

"Oh! I understand!"

He turned to the stinging jellyfish and explained enthusiastically:

"Mr. Watari probably means that he thinks you and I get along very well, so he wants me to ask you if you'd be willing to go with him—"

"There must be something important that requires your assistance, right?"

Du nodded.

He had never felt communication go so smoothly before.

I don't know why.

But in the past, when I spoke like that, the person on the other end would often suddenly get excited, and sometimes they would even pull out a Poké Ball.

Fortunately, he was strong enough.

In most cases, after some "physical communication," the other party eventually calms down and becomes willing to reason with him.

After his speech, Xiao Zhi patted his chest confidently.

Don't worry, I've got your back!

This was the first time that someone hadn't been angered away by him, but instead had enthusiastically responded with so many words.

On Yulongdu's usually stern face, a muscle twitched somewhat awkwardly as he tried to force a friendly smile.

He subconsciously offered a compliment.

"...You really talk too much."

71. Yu Longdu was not disliked!

This statement came out.

Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia's expressions immediately turned sour.

Even if he's a superstar, isn't that going too far?

Xiao Zhi was so enthusiastic in helping you out of the predicament and speaking up for you, so why did you get the label of "talkative" instead?

"you……!"

Xiaoxia couldn't help but step forward, about to argue with Du, when a hand reached out from the side and firmly stopped her.

The two were taken aback.

I thought to myself, "Shouldn't Ash be a little angry now?"

To everyone's surprise, Ash nodded seriously, clenching his right fist and tapping it against his left palm, revealing an expression of deep sympathy.

“Right!” he said sincerely. “My good brothers often say the same thing about me, that I’m just too enthusiastic!”

Du nodded calmly.

"really."

Xiao Gang: "..."

Xiaoxia: "..."

So that's how it's understood?!

Watching these two people who are completely on the same wavelength, their thought processes inexplicably aligned.

They were speechless for a moment, unsure of what expression to make.

"Waaah..."

Beside it, Dragonite let out a suppressed growl.

His voice trembled noticeably.

Its rounded body leans slightly forward.
