Ash's Pokémon Travel Has Big Problems

Mascherano changed the venue for today's gathering.

The platform was brightly lit, and the voices of people and the calls of Pokémon mingled harmoniously.

Gentle waves lapped softly against the platform's supports, creating a natural backdrop.

Mascher was naturally one of the focal points of the entire event.

This is a great contributor to the city of Kureha.

He was holding up a huge wooden goblet, gesturing wildly as he spoke to the trainers and local businessmen who had gathered around him, once again boasting about that "epic duel."

Lt. Surge pointed to the sea and said, "Once my hotel is built, this place will be unique in Kanto! Then who will dare say that Vermilion City only has a port and a gym!"

Think of this.

Mascherano felt he was growing to appreciate Satoshi more and more.

Lt. Surge believes that Ash is talented not only in the field of trainers.

They also have a good grasp of how to handle other problems.

He's a brilliant strategist!

If AI were to become the league champion in the future...

Then Ma Zhishi wholeheartedly agrees!

So Lt. Surge is going to give 10% of his shares as dividends to Satoshi... Don't think he's stingy, it's really a lot.

After all, he has to be responsible for costs, maintenance, channels, etc., while Xiao Zhi just needs to wait to get his share of the money.

Dr. Sakuragi and Dr. Masaki stood at the edge of the platform, enjoying the sea view while engaging in a more academic conversation.

Professor Sakuragi pointed to the swarm of agate jellyfish swimming leisurely in the moonlight in the distance:

"The residual power of the giant Dragonite is continuing to purify this sea area, and the ecological recovery is happening faster than expected. This provides an excellent sample for studying the long-term environmental impact of the power of legendary Pokémon."

Dr. Zheng Hui excitedly chimed in:

"That's right!"

"More importantly, Kyrgyzstan endorsed this 'symbiotic order'!"

"This proves that there is room for creative solutions under absolute rules."

"This is simply a perfect example of the combination of Pokémon sociology and divine behavior!"

The Gardevoir beside him maintained its dignified posture, with its hands placed on its abdomen, standing quietly and gracefully next to Professor Bright.

Hmm... Gardevoir's behavior really resembles Professor Bright's female companion.

But this Gardevoir is male!

Difficult to stretch.

Miss Officer Jenny and Miss Joey were also standing together, each holding a drink.

Officer Jenny looked much more relaxed: "The crisis has finally been resolved. Lt. Surge Gym Leader and I have already discussed the follow-up security patrol plan, which will ensure the safety of tourists and Pokémon in this area."

Miss Joy smiled gently and said, "The injured jellyfish are recovering very well. They seem to be adapting well to this new way of getting along, which is the best possible outcome."

The most eye-catching are undoubtedly the "waiters" who are busy shuttling around the platform.

Several stinging jellyfish and more agate jellyfish floated in the seawater on both sides of the platform.

They use flexible tentacles to move.

Or, they might steadily hold up a waterproof tray holding drinks and snacks and hand it to the guests.

Or you can carefully place fresh tree fruits directly from the pool onto the dining table.

Their movements may not be as skillful and elegant as human waiters, and they may even occasionally splash water due to nervousness.

But that cautious and earnest attitude in trying to complete the task seemed particularly sincere and endearing, drawing bursts of good-natured laughter and admiring glances.

Allowing Pokémon and humans to coexist harmoniously is the right thing to do from any perspective.

No one can find fault with that.

In a sense, this could also help Pokémon integrate into human society.

One detail needs to be emphasized.

Human society has never consisted of only humans.

Human society refers to a society where humans are the main actors and where Pokémon live together.

Moreover, this will pay the stinging jellyfish a salary.

Although the stinging jellyfish had a hard time understanding what wages were when the issue was discussed.

But wages are a must.

Anyway, once the jellyfish discovered they could exchange money for food... they had absolutely no resistance to it.

Just by delivering things, you can have enough to eat and drink... That's such a good deal!

The special energy cubes, in particular, are much better than what we usually eat.

Domesticated animals have a much better life than those in the wild.

This model is a semi-free-range approach, while semi-domestic raising would be even better.

Tentacruel: Three punches shatter the spirit's bones, boss, I am a loyal dog!

Tentacruel: A spirit will never be a slave, unless food and lodging are provided!

Stinging jellyfish: What are you laughing at? Jellyfish don't have bones!

From a Pokémon perspective, it's fair to say that over 90% of the Pokémon in this world are quite simple-minded.

Furthermore, Ma Tsz Tse gave the jellyfish an 8-hour workday, not a 24-hour indentured servitude contract.

Oh, and there are also holiday leave adjustments, etc.

This is not a big problem for the jellyfish.

Because supply exceeds demand.

The hotel doesn't actually need that many jellyfish-themed waiters.

But there are actually quite a few jellyfish in this group... so they have to compete for the top spot.

If it's allocated to an individual, they might only need to work one or two hours a day.

laugh.

Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, and Xiaogang stood by the platform railing, watching this harmonious scene.

Xiaoxia was still holding the black seahorse that had given the first warning in her arms, which was curiously watching the lively scene.

"It seems your suggestion really came true, Ash," Brock said with a smile, his tone full of praise.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu stood on Ash's shoulder and nodded happily, clearly enjoying the atmosphere.

Ash looked at the busy jellyfish in the sea, at the people chatting happily on the platform, and at the smug silhouette of Lt. Surge's statue in the distance, and nodded vigorously: "Yes! This is really good!"

This is the Pokémon world that Ash wanted to see.

He doesn't want the world to be full of conflict at all.

Therefore, we must become stronger, so that we can determine the course of this world.

I will tell you how this world should exist!

Chapter 76 Mr. Ma Xueshi, you might want to try a vest and cape.

The morning sunlight gilded the port of Koba City with a golden hue.

The waves gently lapped against the pier, making a rhythmic splashing sound.

The massive passenger ship "Saint Anne" is docked at the shore, its horn emitting a deep, long blast, signaling the start of its upcoming voyage.

"After playing for so many days, it's finally time to leave," Xiao Zhi said with a touch of emotion.

These past few days in Kureha City... have certainly been quite exciting.

There was a giant Dragonite, a giant Tentacruel, and even the cellular body of Zygarde, the God of Order.

Legends are supposed to be far away, but when you encounter them, they feel very close.

Unfortunately... even after seeing Zygarde Cell and getting close to him, he wasn't recognized as a "god" by the "system".

This reminded Ash of the time he saw Ho-Oh from afar.

It seems the standard for judgment is close contact with the real person.

"Our trip is going to continue... Honestly, how much longer do I have to stay with you?" Xia muttered to herself.

That's what they say, but Xiaoxia has no intention of leaving.

She has decided to go with Xiaozhi.

If you ask why, it's because I wanted to see how Ash would perform.

That's right... I want to witness his future with my own eyes.

Xiaoxia remembered what Xiaozhi had once said to her... and her face began to turn red.

"It probably goes around the entire Kanto region, right?" Xiao Gang answered seriously.

"Since we're already on a trip, I have to accompany Ash to the Indigo League!" That's what Brock thought.

Nostalgia is one thing, but leaving is another.

Ash, Misty, and Brock stood in front of the boarding stairs, preparing to say goodbye to the city that had gradually returned to peace after the turmoil.

"Hey! Kids, trying to slip away already?" A loud and familiar voice came from behind.

The three turned around and saw Mascherano's iconic, imposing figure striding towards them, his dazzling blond hair almost blinding in the morning light.

He wasn't wearing a camouflage vest today, but instead a floral shirt with a menacing Raichu pattern, which made him look exceptionally... casual, even a little comical.

how to say?

Ma Surge usually gives people the impression of being too... uh... too serious?

Saying it's too serious isn't quite right either.

In short, his outfit today doesn't match his tough-guy image.

“Mr. Lt. Surge!” Ash was somewhat surprised, not expecting Lt. Surge to come and see him off.

"Here to see you little rascals off, the ones who can cause trouble but also settle things!" Lt. Surge grinned.

He patted Ash's shoulder forcefully, the force still bold and unrestrained. "How was it? Was Vermilion City exciting enough?"

"Indeed...it left a deep impression." Xiao Gang nodded with a smile, recalling the past few days' experiences, which were nothing short of thrilling.

Fortunately, the giant spiny jellyfish didn't immediately use surfing or similar tricks.

Otherwise, if a massive tsunami were to engulf the entire Kuroba City, that would be a huge problem.

Maslow could indeed defeat the giant stinging jellyfish, but he absolutely could not stop the tsunami because the area was too vast.

In fact, even if Lt. Surge, Dr. Sakuragi, and Dr. Masaki all joined forces, they still couldn't completely stop the tsunami.

Attacking and defending are not difficult at all.

Xiaoxia glanced at the distant coastline with lingering fear: "I hope everything will be safer next time I come."

"Hahaha, don't worry! With me here, things won't get chaotic!" Ma Xueshi said confidently, hands on his hips. "By the way, let me point you to a good place to go next."

He raised his hand and pointed to the sea to the northeast:

"At this time of year, summer is almost over, and it's the liveliest time of year at Maiden Gorge."

“Their port is about to hold a large temple fair that will last for several days. I heard it’s quite big and worth a visit.”

“If I weren’t currently unable to leave, I would have gone on vacation too,” Mt. Surge said with a touch of wistfulness, offering travel advice.

"A temple fair?" Xiaoxia's eyes lit up instantly.

She has never been able to resist such lively activities.

“That’s right, food, drink, entertainment, catching goldfish, buying masks, releasing water lanterns, you name it.” Ma Zhishi paused, a playful smile appearing on his face.

"Perfect for couples like you!"
