Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

The superior's instructions must be executed unconditionally and as quickly as possible!

"Click".

Xiao Zhi pushed the door shut, and the sound of the latch hitting the door frame was particularly clear in the suddenly quiet room.

"That solves the problem!"

Ash turned around and patted non-existent dust off his hands.

He had a "it's that simple" smile on his face.

"Ow~!"

Dragonite immediately went over and diligently started massaging Ash's shoulders.

It can understand not only what its trainer says.

Even their work ethic is top-notch!

We absolutely cannot let such a talented person go!

"this......."

"Um......"

"hiss......"

An eerie silence fell over the room once again.

Ash scratched his head, looking at his companions with their various expressions, and scratched his head again.

"Aren't we supposed to be going to that place?"

"Yes......"

"Well, he agreed readily, and he did it quite efficiently!"

He casually accepted the berries that Dragonite offered him.

Xiao Zhi took a bite and continued speaking in the most natural tone while chewing.

"I'm not trying to be mean, bro."

"Since your identity is so useful to them, and you can make them run around like crazy with just a word, why don't you just tell them where we're going?"

As for... explanation.

At this level, what's the point of explaining?

That would be too much trouble!

Lance lowered his head, looking at the heavy file in his hand containing the list of Team Rocket spies, and then looked up at Ash, who looked completely at ease.

Could it be... that he really is a genius?

73. The ultimate accessory!

Things progressed more smoothly than expected.

The next two days.

The massive ship, St. Anne, sailed smoothly along its pre-planned route toward the designated sea area.

Standing in front of the observation window on the side of the bridge, looking out at the deep blue, almost inky black sea, Watari felt a rare sense of... ease.

Yes, it's easy.

With the help of the three, the operation proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

Such smooth sailing was rare in his previous missions, which involved working alone and proceeding cautiously step by step.

After all, the more natural and composed they appeared, the more certain the Rockets were of their identities.

"They're really tough to deal with!"

He sent away the middle-aged man who had come to inquire about his well-being and report.

Xiaoxia turned around and leaned against the railing, letting out a long breath.

She turned her head to look at Du with a mixture of complaint and admiration.

"It's so brain-taxing, I really don't know how you managed to handle things all by yourself before, Mr. Watari."

"If the three of us hadn't been reminding each other and covering for each other, I would have been exhausted just from maintaining this leader's demeanor."

Before?

Upon hearing this, Du seriously reflected on his past style of carrying out missions.

Hmm... roughly speaking, infiltrate, be discovered, fight, and then somehow manage to take it down.

The process is straightforward and requires no effort or maneuvering.

He summarized his thoughts and then succinctly addressed Xiaoxia.

"You don't need to use your brain at all."

In most cases, you win as long as A gets there.

In other cases, you can only press A twice more at most.

Xiaoxia: "...?"

No, why did we suddenly start pretending while we were chatting?

What's the point of her pathetic acting skills?

If I weren't outmatched, I would have loved to fight him right away!

The Dragonite, which seemed to understand its trainer well, immediately tugged at Ash's clothes with its claws.

Chief translator Xiao Zhi immediately translated.

"What Brother Du means is that in the past, when he carried out missions, he basically relied on his strength to get through them, and the process was relatively simple, which is quite different from the situation we are in now, where we need to play our roles meticulously."

Du nodded approvingly.

exactly.

He took in the expressions of the three people.

It was indeed not easy for them to get along with him peacefully for these few days.

With time still remaining before reaching the core area of ​​the operation, and since he had nothing else to do, he had a sudden thought and decided to guide these three promising juniors.

This is both a way of thanking them for their help and a responsibility I bear as a senior colleague.

"Should we fight?"

Xiaoxia: "?!"

Was her expression and thoughts really that obvious?

"Is this a training session? That's great! Thank you so much, Brother Watari!"

Ash's eyes lit up, and he immediately responded.

He had long wanted to see the true strength of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto for himself!

......

The four quickly arrived at the ship's specially designated combat training area.

The space here is open and brightly lit, and the floor is covered with professional shock-absorbing materials.

As arranged by the person in charge, the room was empty at the moment, which was perfect for conducting non-public guidance.

Du stood at one end of the field, his cloak motionless.

He paused for a moment, seemingly considering how to approach the topic of guidance.

Although he comes from the Dragon Clan, a family rich in resources and teeming with Dragon-type Pokémon.

It also carries two extraordinary powers: the power of evergreen and the power of the dragon.

But he managed to get to where he is today by riding the dragon.

It all comes down to his own talent, and for some reason, a constant stream of opponents.

Talent, however, is something that often cannot be taught.

Who wants to go first?

"Pickup!"

Pikachu was the first to jump off Ash's shoulder and land on the soft mat, then seriously stretched its little arms and legs.

Tiny sparks flew from the electrocution cells on his cheeks.

"Well....."

Watari's gaze swept over the electric mouse.

The behavior of this Pikachu over the past two days was quite...peculiar, even from his well-informed perspective.

Speed, power, size, and head all combine to create an aura that defies easy categorization.

“You Pikachu,” Wataru honestly commented, “have clearly embarked on a unique path that no one knows how it will develop, and I can’t teach you.”

Perhaps Shiba, who specializes in combat and physical training, could see some of the tricks of the trade, but he himself is not good at this kind of martial arts-oriented path.

"I'll ask Shiba when it will be."

Although I can't guarantee I'll get any useful information, there's always a way to overcome difficulties.

If all else fails, we can have Dragonite go and negotiate.

"Pikachu?"

Upon hearing this, Pikachu's ears immediately perked up proudly.

Even the Heavenly King said he couldn't teach this little rat. This little rat is indeed a genius of extraordinary talent, unparalleled throughout the ages!

"I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Xiaoxia raised her hand.
