Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

That's inappropriate! That's inappropriate!

It silently pulled its head back inside.

Lance turned to look at Dragonite.

When Dragonite saw its trainer looking at it, its face immediately showed rejection.

"Waaah—"

It shook its head repeatedly, its expression serious.

A-Du, you know it.

As the face of the league, it absolutely cannot have tattoos!

After all, that tattooed Pokémon doesn't look like a good thing!

If this gets out, how will it ever be able to maintain its place in the Heavenly King's circle again!

The three Pokémon, which didn't seem like good guys: "..."

Dragonite seemed to realize something.

I looked at them and waved my paws again.

Don't misunderstand, it's not discriminating against the three of you.

It's just unfairly discriminating against every Pokémon with a tattoo.

After all, it's discrimination based on equality, and in some ways...

Isn't this also a form of non-discrimination?

214. Times have changed!

Using his financial power, he casually gave the three Pokémon employees extra money and appeased them.

Despite being rejected by both Pokémon, Bill wasn't too discouraged.

He stroked his chin, his eyes behind his glasses gleaming with the stubbornness characteristic of a researcher.

"Is that so...?"

"Then I'll have to go back and think about it carefully. There must be a way that satisfies both sides."

He muttered to himself, his voice revealing no hint of discouragement, but rather an excitement that only fueled his determination to overcome setbacks.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his notebook from his pocket and started scribbling and drawing.

"To avoid maintaining a normal gigantic size without getting tattoos... Hmm! That's quite a challenging task!"

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly, as if trying to digest the information in those words.

It has neither normal gigantism nor tattoos?

Putting aside the fact that they have lost all the characteristics of the Kanto region, why does this description sound so familiar?

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then her brows instantly relaxed.

This is just normal Dynamax!

Everyone says that researchers value copyright awareness and respect original work, but Mr. Zheng Hui's actions... aren't they just pure piracy?

Xiaoxia opened her mouth, intending to say a few words of complaint.

But then he realized that the person in front of him was the founder of the Pokémon Transfer System.

Even the Dragon Ferry dared not offend such an existence.

So he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, pursed his lips, and silently swallowed his complaints.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Zheng Hui readily paid the remaining balance and waved to dismiss the construction workers.

"Let's go, let's go. I'll handle the rest myself. I'll contact you if there are any new developments."

Seeing that the work was finished, Yulongdu glanced down at the dense message notifications on the encyclopedia, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

His vacation is almost over.

Not only is there a mountain of documents piling up at the alliance level, but there are also several urgent cases that need to be dealt with.

With a soft sigh, and adhering to the idea that trainers and Pokémon are one, Lance immediately forwarded the message with a single click.

Push all messages to Dragonite.

"It's for you."

Upon seeing the message, Dragonite visibly shuddered.

"Waaah—"

so much!

Also, are you going to work so soon?

It clearly hasn't had enough fun yet!

Bullying kids here is much better than writing reports every day; those report papers are practically worn out of its claws.

"Ah, in that case, we should head back now."

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi patted the back of his head, as if he had suddenly woken up from a leisurely state.

He looked up at the sky.

The sun had already risen above the horizon without anyone noticing, casting long shadows on the ground.

"It's been so long... I feel like if I don't go back soon, I'm afraid I'll get a beating from my mom, haha."

He laughed heartily, but Pikachu on his shoulder shuddered.

That's true.

After all, they've been out and about for so long.

It's been quite a while since I left Zhenxin Town, and I haven't even made a single phone call home during that time.

Given Ash's mother's personality, she probably would have worn her fists down to a gleaming shine by now.

Upon hearing this, Yu Longdu glanced at the three of them, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Don't be afraid."

Don't be afraid?

Upon hearing this, both Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were startled.

They've never experienced Iron Fist before and have no idea how powerful Aunt Hanako is!

That's someone who can fight Ash to a standstill!

No, it should be said that the reason why Xiao Zhineng has survived to this day, full of energy and vitality in the wild, is largely because he inherited his mother's fighting talent perfectly.

How could I not be afraid?!

"Oh, bro, you mean you're going to take us back?"

Ash reacted quickly, instantly decompressing the compressed file mentioned in Lance's words, and clapped his hands in sudden realization.

"Thanks!"

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia: "......."

So it was the "Don't be afraid" part of "Don't be afraid, I'll take you back"...

Nodding, Lance patted Dragonite.

Although Dragonite was slightly unhappy about working overtime, it was quite easy to talk to Ash when it came to him.

He called out a few of his good brothers from Du.

After a brief farewell to Zheng Hui, he flapped his wings and took off into the air with a whooshing sound.

A cool morning breeze swept over me, carrying a faint dampness from above the clouds.

The houses and trees on the ground rapidly shrink, transforming into a miniature painting that unfolds gradually.

About fifteen minutes later, the outline of Evergreen City came into view.

Dragonite slowly descended and finally landed steadily on an open space on the outskirts of Evergreen City.

"here?"

Yu Longdu asked.

"That's enough, Brother Du."

Ash flipped off the Dragonite, then clasped his hands together in gratitude to the Dragonites.

"Thank you all for your help! I'll treat you to some energy cubes later!"

Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia landed one after another and thanked Yu Long Du and Kuai Long.

As for why we didn't go directly back to Pallet Town but instead came to Evergreen City.

Although Ash wanted to go straight back to Pallet Town, he had made a promise with Giovanni!

I can't not keep the appointment!

After all, when we met last time, my brother looked very reluctant to part ways!

After a brief farewell, everyone went their separate ways once again.

Riding on his dragon, Lance flicked his cape and disappeared into the horizon.

However, when the three arrived at the dojo entrance...

The newly opened Evergreen Martial Arts Hall, however, was tightly closed.

The two metal doors were tightly closed, and a note was pasted on the door, the handwriting messy but forceful.

[Out on a mission to apprehend a criminal; return date uncertain.]

Do not disturb.

Xiaoxia stared at the note for a long time.
