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

The girl was able to paddle the kayak so fast. In Xiao Zhi's perception, the person paddling the kayak had obvious signs of training in her arms and shoulders.

I never expected it to be a girl.

"Pickup!"

Suddenly, an enormous Magikarp leaped from the beach onto the sand, splashing around wildly and startling Pikachu and Misty.

"Wow, it's huge! I remember Magikarp can only grow to 1 meter at most, this one must be at least 3 meters long!" The size was truly frightening, so Misty quickly picked up Pikachu and Togepi and hid far away.

This Magikarp was not only enormous, but also incredibly strong, splashing and making a tremendous racket on the beach.

"This is truly rare. Should we try to subdue it...?"

Ash recently caught a Magikarp and is still a bit hesitant, but this one is so big that it's tempting.

"Whether we can subdue it or not, let's throw it back into the sea first. A body this big will quickly turn into dried fish if it's stranded."

Looking at the scorching sun overhead, Xiaoxia became worried about Magikarp's life.

Misty definitely couldn't lift such a big Pokémon, so she had to leave it to Ash.

Just as Ash was about to grab Magikarp's tail, a clear and loud voice stopped him.

"Wait a minute, this Magikarp is currently calcium deficient and acting aggressively. Be careful not to get hurt by it."

"You are……"

The gentle voice, the pink hair, and the familiar face—it was Miss Joey.

Furthermore, the short-sleeved wetsuit she was wearing had a red cross symbolizing the Pokémon Center on it.

However, this Miss Joy's skin is a bit darker than the other Joys, and according to Ash's visual estimation, her arms are 2 centimeters thicker and her shoulders are 1.5 centimeters wider.

She's a Miss Joey who's been training for a long time; no wonder she can row so fast.

Xiao Zhi's affection for the girl who loves exercising increases by 5.

Nurse Joy bypassed Ash and lifted Magikarp's hands first, followed by a loud splash.

Magikarp was thrown back into the sea by Nurse Joy.

It's also incredibly strong, so Ash's affection level increases by 5.

The originally very irritable Magikarp became docile under Nurse Joy's hands.

Chansey took a bottle of medicine from its case, which Nurse Joy then sprinkled into Magikarp's mouth.

"Miss Nurse Joy, is this Magikarp your Pokémon because it's so big?"

Xiaoxia looked at Magikarp with curiosity, and she also wanted to raise her Water-type Pokémon to be bigger.

"No, it's just that I've been taking care of it since it was a baby. This Magikarp has always been calcium deficient, so I often come here to feed it special calcium tablets."

"I've grown so big without even realizing it. I'm so sorry, I hope I didn't scare you."

"No, no," Xiaoxia waved her hands repeatedly.

Miss Joy introduced herself to Ash and the others.

Because there are no Pokémon Centers on the nearby islands, she has to travel between these islands to provide medical services.

"That must be really hard work."

"Yeah, especially today. It's really annoying that so many Pokémon on so many islands are sick at the same time." Nurse Joy looked helplessly at the distant sky.

"Judging from today's weather, there will be a big storm this afternoon."

"Wouldn't that be extremely dangerous at sea?" Ash quickly tried to stop Nurse Joy from continuing her mobile clinic.

"No, what will happen to the sick Pokémon if I don't go?"

Ash and his friends' attempts to stop her will not sway Nurse Joy's resolve.

"What a kind girl." Ash's affection for Nurse Joy increased by another 5.

"Then let us help you. To be honest, the reason we've been following you is because we're lost."

"If it's a Pokémon having trouble, we don't mind helping, as long as you can guide us to the next island afterwards, Nurse Joy."

Xiaoxia also came to Xiaozhi's side and nodded, "Let us help out too."

"Can you swim? If so, please come with me."

Miss Joey saw that they were both very strong and healthy, so she didn't refuse.

Soon Ash and his friends were following Nurse Joy as they traveled back and forth across the archipelago, searching for injured Pokémon and providing them with treatment.

This Miss Joey is indeed impressive; she might be a shiny dark-skinned Joey.

She and Chansey paddled so fast that Lapras couldn't keep up at all. Ash had to jump into the sea to follow them so they wouldn't get lost.

"This boy is amazing! He actually managed to catch up with me by swimming." Nurse Joy's affection for Ash increased by 5 points.

Working tirelessly from morning until afternoon, and thanks to Ash and Misty's help, Nurse Joy successfully completed the final Pokémon treatment before the evening storm arrived.

Ash and his friends didn't just help by handing things over; they actually followed Nurse Joy into the ocean to search for injured Pokémon.

Several times during this time, Nurse Joy was nearly hurt by reefs or fierce Pokémon that passed by.

Thanks to Xiaozhi, everyone escaped danger.

"This man's chest is something to lean on!"

[Ding! South Island Joey: Affection +3]

"Is every time you make a house call this dangerous? And the conditions are so rudimentary."

Back at Miss Joey's clinic, it was just a small cabin.

When she took out the first-aid kit to bandage her and Xiaozhi's wounds, Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask her a question.

It's not a Pokémon Center; it's just her and Chansey there.

However, the conditions are far too harsh for someone to be responsible for treating Pokémon on so many surrounding islands.

"When I was a child, I was shipwrecked at sea and was saved by Pokémon. I decided then and there that I would definitely repay them in the future."

"So helping Pokémon has always been my dream, and I came here voluntarily without any complaints."

Miss Joy gently applied the medicine to Ash, looking up and smiling, her beautiful face radiating a divine maternal love.

"By the way, does the wound on your shoulder still hurt?"

Ash sustained this injury while healing a Gyarados that was poisoned and in a confused state, taking damage for Nurse Joy.

In fact, Ash's recovery ability was already more than enough, but he still pretended to be in pain.

Gently taking Joey's hand, she said, "As long as you're by my side, I won't feel any pain."

Joey's face turned slightly red.

[Ding! South Island Joey: Affection +2]

Because she was responsible for providing support at sea, Xia, who was uninjured, felt something was off about what was happening.

"The atmosphere feels a bit strange?"

However, she found out what happened the following evening.

Because she was already calling Joey "sister" in his little cabin.

People from the Orange Islands are just that straightforward and uninhibited.

Chapter 133 The Golden Bat's Niche and Additional Time

Nurse Joy is such a kind person. Knowing that Ash likes peaches, she treated him to a whole night of Orange Islands specialty fruit, "Wheat-colored Peach".

Xiao Zhi said it was delicious, not only because it was elastic and juicy, but also because it felt great to the touch.

He also generously shared the white peaches he had brought with Joey.

That night, Xiao Zhi ate and took things, sometimes eating wheat-colored peaches and sometimes white peaches; he was extremely greedy.

Of course, as a future Pokémon Master, Ash couldn't treat them unfairly, so he immediately reciprocated by providing them with an unlimited supply of fresh milk.

In the end, everyone, both hosts and guests, were very happy!

Moreover, this wasn't Ash's initiative; it was Nurse Joy who launched the attack.

Ash originally thought that since it was a rare opportunity, and he had been lost for so long, he should rest for a few more days at Nurse Joy's place and help her out.

However, after Nurse Joy learned that Ash was from Kanto and witnessed Misty doing what she loved, she attacked Ash the very next night.

Amidst Ash's bewildered expression, Nurse Joy nonchalantly declared, "That's how girls from the Southern Islands are. And you need to understand, Mr. Ash, you're the one I...↑!"

A healthy, dark-skinned older woman reveals a mature smile.

“You know that our Orange Alliance is different from Kanto, but you don’t need to be responsible for it.”

"And I won't leave here because of getting married. I decided to stay for life after choosing to become a Pokémon doctor."

Since others are so carefree, then Xiao Zhi is also bold enough to love and act on his own...

Because Nurse Joy from the South Island was inexperienced, she secretly pulled Misty aside to give her instructions, and she even helped others attack Ash.

"They had no choice; they were dehydrated every day and were almost at their breaking point. Now that someone is willing to help, of course I agreed."

The reason was so valid that no one could refute it, and Xiaozhi had a wonderful night.

Although the woman said he didn't need to take responsibility, Xiaozhi couldn't just do nothing.

The kind-hearted Nurse Joy is a selfless person who is willing to sacrifice for the Pokémon here.

So Ash took out his savings to improve Nurse Joy's living conditions, expanding her cabin into a compliant Pokémon Center.

At first, Joey was firmly against it.

But after Ash explained that the completed structure would provide better treatment for Pokémon and showed her his savings, she reluctantly agreed.

"Are you some rich kid?"

"No, I'm a self-made millionaire!"

[Ding! South Island Joey: Affection +2]

Xiao Zhi also upgraded Joey's daily equipment so that she wouldn't have to work so hard and face so much danger when she went out for rounds.

This can be considered as contributing to this cause.

Furthermore, this Pokémon Center can also serve as one of Ash's bases in the Orange Islands, so naturally, a teleporter would be set up there.

Even after you leave the Orange Islands, you can come anytime you want to see Joey or Joey wants to...

[Ding! Side quest completed: Please light up the teleportation coordinates in important cities of the Orange Alliance (2/15)]

"Joey's island town only has a population of 5. Is that considered an important city?"

It's probably because Ash considers all the important cities to be included, which is a good thing, as the mission has progressed another step.

Ash received recognition and the title of Honorary Citizen from the Orange League government for investing in the construction of a new Pokémon Center on the island.

[Honorary Citizen: Regional Favorability +20; Regional Reputation +10]

The Orange League isn't a wealthy league, so they couldn't give Ash a material reward, but they did give him a corporate tax exemption.

Ash hesitated for a moment when he received the League's reply.

"Let's postpone our advance into the Orange Alliance. If we give Little Sundae any more missions, she'll really break down."

At times like this, Ash misses James and his friends terribly. If it weren't for the fact that Team Rocket's situation is also very important, he would really like to have the trio come back as soon as possible.

"It's been so long since I've had them give me an update. I wonder what those idiots are up to these days."

At that moment, a blizzard billowing black smoke sped past overhead.

"Kojiro, what happened? Why did it suddenly explode?!" Musashi was pacing anxiously in the driver's seat.
