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

I was just about to set off to bring him back when I turned on my communicator and thought I was being cyberbullied.

The barrage of communications and the sheer number of missed calls made Xiao Zhi feel somewhat ashamed.

"My God, why are there so many phone calls?"

Xiao Zhi, who was sleeping so soundly, didn't answer any of the calls.

The one he hit the most was naturally his mother's daughter, Hanako.

She quickly called back and was immediately subjected to a barrage of insults.

"Xiaozhi, you actually know how to call back! Do you know how worried I was?"

"You said you were going to save the world, which scared me so much that I took a helicopter to the Orange Islands to find you, and then it crashed halfway there..."

"What? Mom, are you alright?" Xiao Zhi was completely confused. What the hell was a plane crash?

"If something happens to you, something happens to me."

Hearing that strong voice, Xiao Zhi felt relieved; his mother should be alright.

It turns out that while Ash was battling the three legendary birds yesterday, Professor Oak and Professor Cynthia were also urgently invited to the Orange League headquarters to oversee things.

At that moment, Hanako also boarded the helicopter that came to Pallet Town to pick up Professor Oak.

Although the plane crashed midway due to extremely bad weather, Dr. Uchiki and Dr. Oak were able to avoid any problems.

After being nagged by his mother for nearly half an hour, Ash first apologized to Hanako, telling her that this was a rare opportunity and she should enjoy herself on Citrus Island.

Then I transferred the last 200,000 Alliance Coins I had to my mother and quickly hung up the phone.

Otherwise, I don't know how long my mom would nag me.

Looking at the other phone numbers, I saw calls from all sorts of people, including Brock, Professor Oak, Rika, Sabrina, and Sundae.

Xiao Zhi could only call them one by one to let them know he was safe.

Among them, Sundae brought him some bad news that almost made Ash unable to recover.

"Master, the extreme weather and power outage have caused our factory heavy losses..."

"Approximately how much was lost?" Although he had already anticipated it, Xiao Zhi's voice still trembled slightly when he asked.

"The facilities on Tortoise Island, the mines and factories on the outskirts of the city... the total losses are conservatively estimated at nearly five billion."

The Crimson Group had absolutely no experience dealing with such a massive natural disaster.

It was thanks to the emergency coordination by Sundae and the full mobilization of personnel and supplies by the Philosophy Dojo that the losses would have been even more severe.

"Ugh~!" Xiao Zhi was so heartbroken he could hardly breathe.

Last night, due to the emergency, he frantically bought the highest-grade healing potions.

However, the universal healing potion costs 1.5 million per bottle, and who knows how many bottles Ash and his Pokémon drank last night.

Anyway, his savings are almost gone, and even if he had more money, he couldn't afford to spend it like this.

Now he only blames himself for spending money recklessly, buying villas and other expensive projects without saving more money.

I regret it, I really regret it.

"Sold off all the remaining stock to recoup costs first!"

If the Crimson Group suffers losses, then its other competitors will certainly also suffer heavy losses.

"We used to always leave ourselves an out so that we could make money together peacefully, but that won't work anymore..."

In short, it's better to die for a fellow Daoist than for me. We can only suffer together, and I, Xiaozhi, will take responsibility!

His heart was broken, and he immediately wanted to call out Suicune and beat her up to vent his anger. (Suicune: How could you be so selfish!)

Exhausted, I made the last call to Professor Oak.

"Hey Ash, the Orange League headquarters already knows the general situation. You've really done something amazing, our savior."

It seems that the residents of Flora and Asia Island reported the matter.

Of course, Ash had given Flurla some important instructions that couldn't be said.

"I'm very proud that someone like you came from our Pallet Town, but why do you sound so down?"

Professor Oak is very happy right now, and his voice is three octaves higher than usual.

Cheer up, you saved the world.

"Although we need to keep the matter of the Three Divine Birds a secret, we can't give you a big reward."

"But I've already suggested to the president and chief of the Orange Alliance that you definitely need to be rewarded."

"Just tell me what you want!"

"Money! I want money, Professor Oak!"

"Oh, is it that tacky?"

Xiao Zhi said, "I'm just an ordinary person. All I need is money!"

Although the Orange League isn't a very wealthy league, Ash's contribution is truly immense.

Therefore, the final agreement was to grant Xiaozhi a 50-year tax exemption and franchise rights in some key industries.

He can sell these for money if he needs them.

It seems that Crimson Group will be able to participate in some industries that were originally monopolized by the government within the Orange Alliance in the future.

For example, crafting Poké Balls, mining rare metals, and selling valuable items.

Furthermore, at Ash's request, he also obtained villa properties in the capital city of Citrus Island and Asia Island.

When he received a reply of agreement, Xiao Zhi felt a little relieved.

At least the anchor point task can be completed, but we'll have to endure a period of poverty for the next while.

"This is all the fault of that wretched Gilluta!"

Chapter 161 The End of This Trip

When Ash brought Gilluta back from Thunder Island, he was almost completely blackened by Zapdos's electric shocks.

After rescuing the quill bird, Ash casually tossed it onto the deck of the speedboat.

"You should be glad that Zapdos doesn't kill humans, otherwise you would have died a thousand times over."

As he spoke, Ash kicked Gilluta, who was lying on the deck pretending to be asleep, and woke him up. This guy's vitality is quite tenacious.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the malfunction of my artificial intelligence, how could you have stopped me!"

"Just wait, as a genius, I will make a comeback sooner or later, and the God of the Sea will eventually be my greatest collectible!"

Gil Terrace's tone remained arrogant and conceited.

This guy really doesn't learn from his mistakes at all, and he has absolutely no remorse.

"Indeed, people who can carry out world-destroying plans without batting an eye because of their own desires are probably beyond redemption."

With two clean and decisive punches, Xiao Zhi was going to make him feel the pain properly.

"In fact, with your wisdom, if you were to follow the right path, you would definitely be able to make many contributions to this world."

“Ridiculous, why should I contribute to other idiots?” In Gilluta’s mind, anyone dumber than him would never be taken seriously.

This is an extremely selfish terrorist; keeping him around will only cause harm.

Most people in the Pokémon world are kind, and even the laws they enact are filled with naive idealism.

The heaviest punishment is no more than twenty years in prison.

But if someone like Gilluta is simply imprisoned, he will become a ticking time bomb.

With this thought in mind, Ash became more determined, and his gaze toward Gilluta at his feet gradually sharpened.

Mobilizing his Aura, Ash slowly extended his large hand toward Gilgamesh's forehead.

What do you want to do?

Although he didn't understand Ash's purpose, Gilluta instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

It shook its head frantically, trying to avoid Ash's big hand.

"Don't come near me!"

But all his struggles were in vain; Ash just stared at him coldly.

Without being disturbed in the slightest, he instantly clamped down on the other person's head.

"You're too dangerous, Gilluta!"

A powerful wave force suddenly surged into Gilluta's mind and rampaged through it.

"Ah~, no!"

He suddenly screamed in pain, and then gradually fell silent.

Seeing Gilluta collapse on the ground, Ash withdrew his hand and continued to drive the speedboat back to Asia Island.

After today, he will be a happy little prisoner who only likes to sunbathe and roll on the lawn.

It will never again possess the power to destroy the world.

"For the sake of the world I love, I will bear all the sins alone!"

Suddenly, Ash glanced at his backpack.

"Was it my imagination? Why did it feel like the black egg moved a little..."

--------

On Asia Island, a team led by the Orange Alliance's chief prosecutor had already arrived ahead of time.

They were preparing to receive Gilluta, the culprit who caused this huge disaster, from Ash.

"Thank you very much for your and your companions' contributions, Mr. Ash. Now, please leave the rest to me."

The chief prosecutor was a handsome, middle-aged man with a serious appearance, who looked unapproachable and rarely smiled.

However, Ash always felt that his facial features resembled Nurse Joy.

“Gilluta, I will bring her to the court in the central region of the alliance for trial.”

The chief prosecutor once again saluted Xiaozhi and the others to express his gratitude.

Of course, Ash also told them that Gilluta had been punished by the Thunder God on Thunder Island.

He's been turned into an idiot by electricity.

The prosecutor merely glanced at Gilruta, whose entire body was still as black as charcoal.

"People who bring such profound disasters to the world deserve their fate."

"We will definitely conduct a thorough examination of him afterwards to prevent this bastard from trying to evade punishment by playing dumb!"

They quickly loaded Gilruta onto a helicopter and transported him back to the capital.

One can imagine that our green-haired collector is about to begin the rest of his happy prison life.

After Gilluta was taken away, Ash and his friends said goodbye to Flaura and the others.

Ash's next destination is Orange Island, where he will challenge the Orange League's top trainer.

To bring my trip to the southern islands to a perfect close.

Before leaving, he also instructed Kojiro and the others to take the company's large transport ship to Thunder Island.

Go and thoroughly clean the wreckage of Gilluta's flying fortress, inside and out.

They also instructed me to take all the valuable items with me, since wasting things is a bad habit.

The main reason is that Xiao Zhi is currently broke, so he can't let go of anything he can get his hands on.

Zapdos, the island's owner, was naturally delighted with this free house cleaning service.

They even volunteered to help transport some large pieces of wreckage onto the ship.

Although most of the items were scrap metal destroyed in the battle between the God of Thunder and the God of Fire, some useful items remained.

For example, the machine that Gilluta used to power the slabs.
