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

In the future, we might never have to worry about not finding wild Pokémon on the high seas again.

After a battle, Ash returned the other Pokémon to their Poké Balls to rest.

He's going to start working on the Crystal Onix's body; today's training will be intensive for it.

Take out the high-grade crystals you bought in advance and feed them to it.

He learned from a young age that the quality of the stones that the giant onyx eats affects the strength of its body.

The higher the quality of the stone, the stronger the Onix's defense will be.

Since that's the case, Ash naturally gave his Onix the best food, which was also the most expensive.

Of course, the effect is already there; Ash's Onix is ​​now crystal clear and incredibly sturdy.

During battles, Ash will also use Crystallize to give Onix an extra layer of protection.

Through repeated training, Ash's abilities were upgraded.

[Congratulations, host! Your ability to crystallize has increased from LV1 to LV2 (the range of crystallization has expanded!)]

Previously, the crystallization could only cover the forearm of Ash's arm.

Now it can cover the entire arm.

When applied to the Crystal Onix, it crystallizes the horn on its head. It's better than nothing, but it's a positive sign for the future.

Furthermore, after each time you feed Onix and have it battle with a crystallized form, its affection and intimacy levels will increase.

[Ding! Lazhu: Affection +2; Intimacy +2]

The Crystal Onix is ​​now much larger and heavier than when Ash was first caught.

"Razhu, use the water cannon!"

Straightening its upper body, the giant rock snake opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a powerful stream of water, attacking the large rock in front of it.

In an instant, it shattered the boulder into pieces.

This water cannon attack isn't a move Ash shared with everyone; Onix learned it on its own.

It feels like Ash's Onix has completely changed its type.

The power of Rock-type moves is nowhere near that of Water-type and Steel-type moves.

So Xiaozhi started training it in that direction.

For the rest of the afternoon, he held the Salted Fish Double-Edged Sword and stood on the Crystal Onyx Serpent, like a god descending from heaven.

Bring smiles to the Pokémon in the forest.

The innocent Bug-type Pokémon who were happily enjoying their lunch were suddenly wiped out.

"This was so much fun! I'll definitely come again next time I have the chance!"

Misty, who had just pulled the drowning Psyduck from the beach on the outskirts of the island, couldn't help but shudder.

It seems someone just made a very unfriendly decision towards her.

------------

After a reluctant farewell to Bug Island, Ash and his friends embarked on another short journey.

We finally arrived at Little Orange Island, the largest island in the entire Orange Islands.

Their target is the Yuzu Gym next to the metropolitan capital on Little Orange Island.

"The Yuzu Gym on Little Orange Island feels a bit strange?"

I'm speechless at the strange naming rules of the Orange Alliance.

As soon as Ash arrived in the metropolis, he contacted James and the others.

After completing the task assigned by Ash, James and his two friends returned to Team Rocket's airship division to continue their work.

Although there were some minor mishaps in that airship accident, none of the passengers were injured.

Although the airship made an emergency landing, it landed safely in a forest without exploding, and everyone on board survived!

It only broke a few trees belonging to the island's residents, and the only human injury was suffered by Kojiro and his two companions, the three crew members of the airship.

I really don't know whether to say they were lucky or unlucky.

Even their act of pretending to be the murderer who stole the cultural relics not only went unpunished but also earned them a reward from Sakaki.

Because these three guys caused such a huge commotion, now everyone knows that the Rockets looted the Orange League museum.

They also sent a large number of counterfeit artifacts back to Team Rocket to report their work, and Giovanni sold the fake antiques as genuine.

They allowed counterfeit goods to flood the market and made a small profit.

In high spirits, Sakaki promoted the trio to full-time managers of the airship department, whereas they had previously been temporary workers.

They were also given ten Rockets-level positions, allowing them to recruit new employees for the department.

Upon hearing the news, Xiao Zhi immediately sent several of his subordinates inside.

Kojiro answered the phone very quickly.

How have things been lately?

"It went very smoothly, boss!" Kojiro showed Satoshi the list of new recruits to the department.

“I even specifically picked out a few people who were obviously Alliance spies to come in. Now the entire department is either our people or people from the Alliance.”

Moreover, because the undercover agents in the department were all so capable, the airship business was getting better and better.

This made Sakaki pay more attention to this department, looking at the financial reports that Kojiro sent over every day.

Giovanni exclaimed, "Our Rockets team is really thriving!"

"Be careful not to expose yourself." I'm sure these undercover agents will bring me some surprises in the future.

After sending James back to work, Ash and Misty arrived at the Pokémon Center in Metropolis.

Suddenly, Xiaoxia was startled, but overjoyed, she pulled Xiaozhi toward a poster in the center.

"Ash, look! Oh my god, it's Lorelei, one of the Elite Four!"

Chapter 141 The Four Heavenly Kings, Kona (Two Chapters Combined)

The posters at the Pokémon Center prominently displayed:

[Master Kona, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, will return to his hometown of Metropolis to preach the art of battling ice and water.]

Stay tuned!

"I heard that Master Kona has a villa nearby, and she holds special exhibition matches during her lectures!"

Xiaoxia took the brochure from the staff member next to her and read it carefully several times, becoming very excited.

Let's go see it together!

"Xiaoxia, you like Master Kona that much?"

Although Ash knew that Misty idolized Lorelei, her fanaticism to this extent seemed beyond that of an ordinary fangirl.

"Of course, she is the most skilled in using ice and water-type attacks among the Four Heavenly Kings."

Reaching out to touch the poster, Xiaoxia's face was full of longing. "My dream is to become a trainer like her..."

The poster shows Connor with a dignified and aloof expression, and the glasses she wears add to her intellectual air.

Especially those surging waves that are impossible to look away from...

Yes, this is our explosively beautiful Master Kona, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, who gets banned as soon as she appears.

"If Xiaoxia could become that kind of woman, I would wholeheartedly approve..."

"Hey, you seem to be thinking about something really rude!"

However, this immediately piqued Ash's interest.

The opportunity to fight against the Four Heavenly Kings is very rare, so it's something you can't miss.

He immediately ran to the front desk of the center and asked Miss Joey about the conditions for becoming a guest at the exhibition match.

But to everyone's surprise, Nurse Joy apologized to Ash and the others with a troubled expression.

Because Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia arrived a few days late.

Now you can only register to participate in the presentation sessions; the spots for the performance competition were already filled long ago.

Ash was devastated to lose the chance to battle the Elite Four.

I was feeling a bit down during lunch.

"Oh dear, I should have come earlier!"

"Serves you right! Who told you to stay on Insect Island for so long!"

It seems that Xiaoxia still harbors resentment towards Insect Island.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter to me. At least there's a presentation, and people can go to Master Kona for autographs, right, Togepi?"

"Pokbi~"

Xiaoxia carefully broke the sandwich into small pieces for Pokobi, a sweet smile on her face.

She was especially happy whenever she could see Kona.

But Ash can't do that, he wants to battle, he wants to battle!

"Ah, I really want to see Kona!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Kona's Secret Garden": Please infiltrate Kona's villa and have a secret rendezvous with her!]

【奖励：联盟币+2000；速度+1；自由属性点+1；特性“胆小如鼠lv1”等级+1】

"This damn system keeps coming up with terrible ideas!"

Xiao Zhi felt exhausted by this despicable system that always encouraged others to commit crimes.

How could Xiaozhi, a model young man with a pure heart and noble character, associate with such things!

However, it's worth attending the presentations.

After all, Lorelei is an expert who specializes in using Water and Ice-type Pokémon.

She must have unique insights into training Pokémon.

Actually, Ash is currently facing a bit of a headache, which is that he feels he has hit a bottleneck in training Pokémon recently.

It doesn't feel as smooth as before, and newly caught Pokémon don't seem to increase affection or friendship levels as much.

Of the newly captured Pokémon, Onix is ​​the one I'm closest to.

However, the intimacy and affection levels only reach a mere 40.

Could it be that there's something wrong with my training methods?

I'm still training and battling with my Pokémon every day, just like before.

Actually, it was because Ash was lucky; most of the Pokémon he caught in the Kanto region happened to like battling.

The Southern Water-type Pokémon he encounters now are generally quite peaceful, which is making him a bit confused.

While Ash was thinking, Misty suddenly widened her eyes, pointed behind Ash, and began to stammer.

"Hehehe, Master Kona!"

"Huh? Is it really Lorelei from the Elite Four?" Ash quickly turned his head.

Why would she come to a small restaurant like this?

To Xiao Zhi's surprise, when he turned around, he found that there was indeed a mature woman behind him wearing a blue coat and a fitted long skirt, with a very voluptuous figure.

"It's appeared! A wild Lorelei!"

I never expected to see her here; she looks even prettier in person than in the poster.

Ash immediately pulled out his Poké Ball and extended an invitation to her.

"Come and battle, Elite Four member Lorelei!"

But because of the unexpected appearance of the Elite Four, several passersby suddenly gathered around Ash's dining table.
