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

"You'll get used to it." Xiaoxia had long since become numb to it.

I enjoyed a good while spending time with my friends.

Ash didn't slowly walk back into the lab until Professor Oak called him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, Professor Oak held up the Gold and Silver Balls and spoke with a helpless expression.

"Ash, I used the most advanced instruments to calculate, but I still can't crack this Poké Ball."

"Not only can it not be opened, but its interior cannot be observed either."

"Even Professor Oak can't crack its secret?"

He's already an authority in the Pokémon research field, even though Ash often teases him about eating instant noodles in the lab.

But if even Professor Oak can't research the Gold and Silver Balls, Ash really can't think of anyone who could crack their secrets.

"Is there really no way to use this Poké Ball?" Xiaoxia looked at the screen on the instrument next to her, and sure enough, it was completely black and nothing was being displayed.

"No, there is one more person who might have a solution."

Professor Oak typed a few times on the keyboard, and information about a serious-looking old man appeared on the screen.

"This is Mr. Steel, an expert in making Poké Balls. Perhaps he can figure out the purpose of this Poké Ball."

Professor Oak transcribed his information into a new Pokédex and gave it to Ash.

"I would like to ask you for another favor: to take the gold and silver spheres to Steel for research. I will inform him in advance."

“No problem, Professor Oak, but I plan to challenge a new regional league next, which may take some time.”

This was something Ash had planned long ago, but Oak just smiled.

"Don't worry, Ash. Steel is in the Johto region. The new Pokédex I'm giving you is the Johto Pokédex."

"When you go to the Alliance Challenge, just drop by and give it to him on the way."

"Speaking of which, when Xiao Mao came back yesterday, he also said he was going to the City Alliance, and he left you a message."

"I said I'd be waiting for you at the League Conference. You've really grown a lot during your trip."

Professor Oak always looked pleased when he talked about Gary, his good-for-nothing grandson had finally become more mature.

"Really? That arrogant guy..."

"Okay, I've decided to go to the capital!"

Since it was just along the way, Ash had no reason to refuse, so he naturally accepted the task.

After all, he was genuinely curious about the purpose of this Poké Ball, made from the feathers of two legendary Pokémon, Ho-Oh and Lugia.

Since it involves two level-one gods, it must be very useful.

"Oh, right, Professor Oak, I have two Pokémon I want to show you." Ash said, taking out a Poké Ball and releasing Majestic Fang and Suicune.

Ash had already fed Suicune dyed berries on the way here.

However, for some reason, berries have a significant effect on other Pokémon.

The white dyeing berry that Ash fed to Suicune only changed Suicune's color from dark blue to light blue.

I feel the effect is greatly reduced, although it's still useful.

Just when Professor Oak thought Ash was about to unleash some strange Pokémon to wreak havoc on him...

I never expected Ash to release these two Pokémon.

"This...this is Suicune, Ash caught it?"

"And what's the other one?"

Professor Oak's face was filled with unconcealed shock.

"It's Suijun and Majestic Fang."

“Magnificent Fang…” Professor Oak thought for a moment, and he seemed to have heard a similar name at an academic conference.

"Ash, where did you catch them?"

"Ah, we met by chance on the road."

Xiao Zhi is a master at using the universal formulas "I met it on the road" and "It was a gift from my friend."

"What capture? I was just teleported here by Arceus and happened to meet him. I took a liking to this young man and reluctantly agreed to stay by his side."

"That bastard Babaozhou is still trying to act cool at a time like this!"

However, Ash has granted Suicune permission to speak when Ash is not presenting himself as Aaron.

We can only be patient for now and teach it a lesson when we get back.

The Suicune of Arlang is deep blue, silent, and dignified.

Ash's Suicune, in its light blue color, is quite talkative; this distinction is only possible if it encounters another Aura user.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be recognized as the same Suicune, since the difference is too great.

Professor Oak was completely flustered after hearing Arceus's name from Suicune.

"What?! You can talk?!" Oak quickly took out the device from the cabinet and shoved the microphone to Suicune's mouth.

"Please say one more sentence, and what's with Arceus... Please! Please!! Please!!!"

"Ugh, this old man is so annoying!"

Ash released Suicune and Majestic Fang to ask Professor Oak for help in building a suitable habitat for them.

It's fine to have Suicune around, but Majestic Fang loves to run wildly on the ground, and keeping it inside its Poké Ball all the time would make it depressed.

However, it is also an ancient paradox Pokémon, and if it is released into the wild, it will cause great damage to the ecosystem.

Among all the people Ash knew, Professor Oak was the most skilled and trustworthy, so he entrusted the task to him.

Most importantly, you can visit Professor Oak for free!

"That's amazing, Professor Oak!"

As expected, Professor Oak agreed without much thought, but he would occasionally need to borrow Majestic Teeth for research.

Professor Oak didn't ask any more questions, after all, Ash was a good kid he had watched grow up.

Professor Oak trusts Ash a lot, and he won't press Ash for details if the other person is unwilling to talk.

Ash also had another request: to ask Professor Oak to remove the limit on the size of his Poké Balls.

"The reason why trainers usually have to keep six Pokémon is because six Pokémon is the most suitable number for a trainer to raise."

"So we usually set it up in advance when we give trainers Poké Balls and Pokédex."

"But with your abilities, Ash, you could easily handle a few more."

Professor Oak decided to give Ash a break and quickly removed his restrictions.

"However, I still don't recommend that you carry too many Pokémon with you, since people's energy and time in a day are limited."

Of course, Xiao Zhi understood this, and he would be more careful in the future, generally not bringing more than 15 animals.

[Ding! Detection indicates the host's Pokémon cap has been removed; the "Use Any Means" ability's effect has changed!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Ability: Ruthless Level 5 (You can select any 4 Pokémon to add a mark, allowing them to enter your Poké Ball at any time. When you send out three or more Pokémon in battle at once, the power of the move is increased by 12%).]

Chapter 174 Suicune's Father and the Town Where the Beginning Wind Blows (Part 2)

Ash rested in Pallet Town for a few more days, waiting for Professor Oak to finish building the Great Fang's habitat.

It has to be said that Professor Oak is truly resourceful; he actually managed to bring in a large number of professional construction teams from the League to move a small mountain from his backyard.

With the help of Pokémon and Professor Oak, a sizable habitat was completed in just one week.

"Isn't it perfect? ​​According to the information I found, Majestic Tooth prefers to live in arid deserts or valleys..."

Professor Oak proudly introduced the exhibits to Ash and his friends who had come to visit.

However, he quickly changed the subject and asked Xiaozhi in a serious tone.

"When I was looking for information, I only found a paper by Dr. Orin from the Padia region from eight years ago."

"The security level is at level one; ordinary researchers are not allowed to read it at all, and the contents..."

"Ash, where exactly did you find this magnificent tooth?"

"I encountered it on an uninhabited island while traveling through the Orange Islands."

Ash wasn't exactly lying; he did indeed use a Battle Ticket to teleport it from a deserted island, and Misty can vouch for that.

Professor Oak didn't say much about this, but the information in the Poké Ball showed that it was indeed used in the Orange Islands.

However, he couldn't help but feel a secret worry in his heart.

"Dr. Orin's time machine seems to be even more unstable... I'll find an opportunity to inquire about the situation later."

Let Ash and his friends play by themselves. Professor Oak plans to first inform Brock and ask him to quickly isolate the island where the Great Fang appeared.

However, before leaving, Professor Oak took a Poké Ball out of his pocket and gave it to Ash.

"This is a new Masterball from Silver Company; it's not usually available on the market."

"The Poké Balls you used to catch Suicune and Majestic Fang were Master Balls, they must have been expensive."

"I've prepared one for you and Gary, but I still want to say that you shouldn't rely too much on the Master Ball. The most important thing between you and your Pokémon is the bond between your hearts..."

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the item "Master Ball" +1]

I didn't expect Professor Oak to be so generous as to give me the Master Ball directly.

Although it was a bit long-winded, Ash's affection for Oak was skyrocketing.

A few days later, after getting enough rest, Xiao Zhi packed his bags and put the little black egg in his backpack.

This time, besides his usual Pikachu, Suicune, and Mewtwo, he only brought Eevee and Shiny Ralts to the Johto region.

Xiao Gang had set off a few days earlier.

Xiao Zhi couldn't bear to see Xiao Gang's颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and lack of motivation) state, so he called Xiao Xue, Xiao Gang's idol.

After Xiaoxue comforted him, Xiaogang finally rekindled his fighting spirit.

They decided to travel to the Johto region to find Snow and participate in the Pokémon Breeder Contest.

"Xiaogang, won't you wait a few more days and then set off with me and Xiaoxia?"

"No, Xiaozhi, a man should run forward without hesitation the moment he sets a goal."

"I can already hear the echo of my burning dream, and I can't wait another second!"

This is clearly for Xiaoxue's sake; her eagerness is truly unbearable to watch.

"However, Miss Xiaoxue also told me that you asked her to comfort me."

"Thank you so much, Ash..."

[Ding! Xiao Gang: Affection +5]

"It doesn't matter, we're best friends after all!"

"Ash!"

"Xiao Gang!"

"Ash!!"

"Xiao Gang!!"

……

And so, Brock left before Ash and the others set off.

Now Ash and Misty have finally embarked on a new journey, and surprisingly, things are going very smoothly for them at first.

It didn't take long to reach the starting point of the Johto Alliance, Wakaba Town.

But suddenly, a thick fog rose up in the forest not far from the town.
