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

"rice wine!"

"Water ripples?"

A blue ball of water energy was launched from its hand, and Ash, who was caught off guard, was knocked out of the sea.

Ash was not angry at all after regaining his balance in the air; on the contrary, he was very happy.

"Very good, the skill's power is excellent."

This otter has potential for development, but its temperament is a bit off, and it needs more intensive training.

They pulled the water otter, which was now frantically struggling in the water, out of the water.

As they prepared to try again, they discovered that land had appeared not far away.

They are a series of closely spaced archipelagos.

Since it was rare to see land, Ash decided to go up and rest for a while.

"Let's call it a day for today's special training."

Upon hearing this, the otter immediately beamed with joy, realizing it had escaped a disaster.

"Don't be too happy yet. You have to continue training after you've rested."

"How can a Water-type Pokémon be afraid of water?!"

Xiaozhi's words deeply hurt Xiaoxia.

"Yeah, how can a Water-type Pokémon not know how to swim? Hehe...hehe..."

She immediately decided to give Psyduck special training, and the little duck was going to suffer a lot.

As they moved toward land, Ash suddenly caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a black dot moving rapidly across the sea in the distance.

It's also heading in the direction of the island Ash is going to.

Ash didn't pay much attention to the fact that it could move so fast in the sea, assuming it was just a Water-type Pokémon.

Upon arriving on the island, they discovered that it was covered with pomelo trees, laden with pomelos.

"Is this wild?" Xia was about to get closer to take a closer look when a voice stopped her.

A figure came running towards them with hurried footsteps, cursing as he ran. "Stop right there, you damn thief!"

Chaos erupted immediately.

It turns out that the people on this archipelago mistook Ash and his friends for thieves who came to steal yuzu.

Fortunately, after some explanation, Xiaowen, the girl who had rushed over earlier, finally realized that she had misunderstood Xiaozhi and the others, and apologized to them.

“Recently, there have been a lot of pomelos being stolen in the mornings, so I’m a bit stressed and I’m really sorry for the misunderstanding.”

"It's alright, I forgive you. After all, we didn't get permission before landing on the island." Xiao Zhi helped Xiao Wen, who was tied up, untie the ropes.

Yes, it's Xiaoxia's specialty, the turtle shell bondage, and Xiaowen, who is Xiaochulu, is still blushing.

She got up to stretch her muscles and apologized to Xiaozhi again, while also saying with some disappointment.

“Growing pomelos is a very hard job. There are no other livelihoods nearby, and the villagers rely on this harvest to make a living all year round.”

"Our pomelos have been stolen, and we really don't know what to do."

Xiao Zhi understood her feelings very well, and just as he was about to comfort Xiao Wen, an employee on the island suddenly ran over and said a few words to Xiao Wen.

Xiaowen almost fainted on the spot.

"Go quickly and tell the people on the other islands to harvest the pomelos immediately. I'll figure something out!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhi asked curiously, wondering why Xiao Wen's emotions had suddenly changed so drastically.

"The pomelo thief has been found, but he has already eaten all the pomelos on two islands!"

"Ah, finished eating?" Ash suddenly thought of something. "Was it a Pokémon?"

“That’s right, it’s Snorlax. It’s on this island.” Xiaowen was already crying. “It’s eaten up almost all the grapefruits on this part of the island, except for the ones near us.”

"Snorlax, that famous glutton?" Misty was also surprised to hear this news. "How did it get to the island?"

"It swims! This Snorlax can swim!" Ash was now certain that the fast-moving black dot he had just seen was indeed a Snorlax.

"Not only can Snorlax swim, but it's also that fast..."

He became interested and ran over with Xiaowen to check it out.

When we found Snorlax, it was breaking off a branch with one hand and putting the berries on it into its mouth.

The surrounding trees have been completely devoured by it.

This really broke Xiaowen's heart; it was all their hard-earned income from the whole year!

Moreover, this Kapixel has thick hide and tough flesh, so no matter what the staff tried to scare it away, it didn't hurt or itch.

Completely ignoring the distractions around him, he continued to devour the pomelo without restraint.

"Ash, you're a trainer, can you please save us?"

With teary eyes, Xiaowen tugged at Xiaozhi's sleeve and pleaded.

Since we've met by chance, and it's our fellow villagers' lifeline...

"Okay, I won't stand idly by!"

[Ding! New side quest "Saving the Pomelo" triggered: Defeat Snorlax and prevent it from stealing fruit from the Orange Islands again.]

The first thing they sent was the water otter to fight back. On land, it behaved much more normally and made a very imposing entrance.

Even when faced with Snorlax's enormous body, it shows no fear...?

When this guy first appeared, he stood with his hands on his hips, but as soon as he saw Snorlax, he immediately wilted and hid behind Ash, pushing Pikachu out.

"No way, you go!" Ash grabbed Oshawott and threw it at Snorlax.

"Rice wine~"ヽ(*.>Д<)o゜

"Use the shell blade!"

The otter in mid-air picked up a small seashell from its belly, from which a sharp blade formed from aquamarine energy extended.

It slashed at Snorlax's belly.

With a bang... it had no effect.

It was so mild that it didn't even hurt; Snorlax's hand didn't even tremble when it broke off a nearby grapefruit branch.

Otter slashed several more times, annoying Snorlax.

"Kirby!"

It crashed down like Mount Tai, rendering the otter incapable of fighting.

"It still won't work. Come back. You've done a good job." Ash recalled Otter and sent out his general, Pikachu.

"Use 100,000 volts!"

"Pickup!"

A thick bolt of lightning struck Snorlax, which was indeed tough and resilient.

Even after being hit by a 100,000-volt attack and surrounded by black smoke, it still didn't give up eating.

"Pikachu?"

Pikachu was surprised that its Thunderbolt attack hadn't done much damage to Snorlax.

"In that case, let's continue using the Iron Tail."

Pikachu's tail immediately gleamed with a metallic sheen as it slashed towards its belly.

The behemoth is coming!

The attack successfully hurt it, and Snorlax finally stopped eating and covered the spot where it had been hit by Iron Tail.

His usually calm face contorted with pain.

Snorlax roared and seized the opportunity to use Body Slam, slamming Pikachu to the ground.

However, this large-area physical contact successfully triggered Pikachu's Static ability, paralyzing Snorlax.

"Okay." This was exactly what Ash and Pikachu did on purpose.

Pikachu seized the opportunity to use its powerful legs to kick Snorlax's belly repeatedly, breaking free from under it.

Then, a powerful iron tail strike landed on the head of the big-bellied dog.

Snorlax let out a heavy howl and collapsed, and Ash took the opportunity to throw a Poké Ball.

Without much struggle, Snorlax was successfully captured.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest "Saving the Pomelo": Defeat Snorlax and prevent it from stealing fruit from the Orange Islands again.]

After successfully catching Snorlax, Xiaowen thanked Xiaozhi profusely and sent him a whole truckload of pomelos.

After trying a few, I have to say that the pomelos here really taste great.

But what about Snorlax?

It has an incredible appetite; it ate all the pomelos on three whole islands and it still wasn't full.

If I were to keep one as a pet, wouldn't the daily food cost be more than that of an Onix?

"I feel so bad for it!" Ash immediately decided, "I'll leave Snorlax in Professor Oak's care. I'm sure he'll take good care of it."

I sent pomelos back to my hometown to my mother as a local specialty.

I'll also send a copy to Professor Oak as compensation.

Ash: "No need to thank me, Professor."

Professor Oak: "?"

Chapter 138 Ghost Ship and Ghost Pokémon

"Land is still the best!"

On the bright beach, Xiaoxia patted her chest; she was still a little shaken.

Because they had just encountered a ghost ship not long ago.

At that time, the sea was shrouded in mist, and the ghost ship that suddenly appeared next to Chenglong startled Xiaoxia.

The eerie, dilapidated appearance was clearly suspicious, and she didn't even dare to open her eyes, hiding tightly behind Xiaozhi.

Our universe's number one beautiful girl is most afraid of ghosts, besides insects.

But just then, Togepi, in his excitement, used his finger flick to teleport to the ghost ship and ran around inside the cabin.

This forced them to board the ship to rescue him.

Originally, only Ash was going up, but Misty was really worried that Togepi would have to come along.

My legs were shaking when I boarded the boat.

Xiaoxia was so cute that Xiaozhi couldn't resist teasing her, which scared her so much that she screamed.

As expected, there were no ghosts on that ghost ship, but there were Ghost-type Pokémon.

It was Gastly and Haunter. When Ash found Togepi using his Aura Sense, the two of them were making funny faces to make Togepi laugh.

Upon seeing the two Ghost-type Pokémon, Misty screamed "Ghost!" and fainted.

She's afraid of ghosts in the Pokémon world; she must have gotten something wrong.

Of course, there was also the reason why Xiaozhi secretly licked her neck from behind to scare Xiaoxia.

"Heh, heh?"

Sensing Ash's powerful aura, the two Pokémon immediately became wary.

“We mean no harm, we’re just here to pick up Togepi. The girl who just collapsed is its trainer.”

Togepi ran to Misty's side and nestled affectionately against her corpse. (Misty: I'm not dead, you bastard!)
