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

Even the most astute can't be that clever, and Ash quickly found them in a secluded wooden cabin deep in the forest.

"As expected, they didn't hide far."

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

"Yamado, instead of going after those brats, we attacked the research institute. Isn't that a bit much?"

Kosaburo is dialing Team Rocket headquarters, preparing to report the results to Boss Giovanni.

He felt that attacking a research institute was too much of a fuss, and he was somewhat worried.

"That's because we lost him. There was such a thick fog suddenly coming in the forest, there was nothing I could do."

"Kosaburo, you need to know that we're almost bankrupt right now, and we've already made a solemn pledge to Boss Sakaki."

"If we don't send some Pokémon back to headquarters soon, we'll end up like Jessie and the others before, becoming 'unpaid workers'!"

Amado used to think that Musashi and the others often did outrageous things because they were idiots, but now he's the same way.

Wages are killing us!

Yamad was very satisfied as he opened the sack and examined the three tightly bound Pokémon inside.

"These are the top three families in the Johto region. We won't be angry even if we send them back to headquarters and Boss Sakaki doesn't give us a big reward."

"Let's just get through this month and make sure we get paid first!"

"Sigh, I never thought we'd end up like this. It's all Musashi's fault!"

Amazon's eyes well up with tears whenever he thinks about what happened back then.

The money used to manufacture the machines in the Orange Islands was all borrowed from Yamato and Kosaburo's wages, which is why they are in such a difficult situation now.

However, their plans will soon fall through.

A sudden loud noise came from outside the house.

Chapter 175 Dr. Elm Loves Playing with Eggs! (Two-in-One)

The loud noise outside startled Yamato and Kosaburo.

"Could it be the Alliance police chasing after us?" Yamado immediately pressed the activation button for the defensive weapons in the room.

"Kosaburo, I told you to turn on all the concealment devices outside, didn't you?"

"I did everything right, this shouldn't be happening!"

But they soon realized they had worried too much; it wasn't the Alliance members who arrived, but rather the familiar faces they had been longing for.

Ash easily destroyed all the large mechanical arms outside the house used for defense, and kicked the door open with one kick.

"Ah, you little rascal, it's you!"

"Of course I'm recruiting you guys. I knew it was the Rockets who did it."

Seeing the Yamato duo, Ash's face was filled with an excited smile; as expected, his premonition in this direction was correct.

"You two dared to attack Dr. Kongmu's research institute? You're incredibly audacious."

"Give back the Pokémon you stole!" Ash and Misty immediately surrounded them from the front and back in perfect unison.

"Damn it, don't think we'll just surrender obediently!"

Yamad quickly hid the sack behind his back and activated the mechanism, which immediately launched the device from the bottom of the wooden house.

A hot air balloon immediately appeared, carrying Amado and the others into the sky.

In contrast to Kojiro and his friends, this hot air balloon is not shaped like a meow but like a pot.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu immediately leaped from Ash's shoulder, unleashing a powerful electric shock at the Shuttle Balloon.

But the hot air balloon was completely unharmed; several hidden conductors diverted all the current to the energy storage device next to Yamado.

"Hahaha, you little brat, of course we've taken all the precautions against electric shocks, you can't catch us!"

The balloon carried them rapidly into the air; it seemed these guys had planned their escape route well in advance.

In terms of the rigor of their plan, Uchiha Tomokazu said they were better than the three idiots!

"For our wages, let's do everything we can to hold off that brat Balada! Use Angry Fangs!"

"You come up to the pot too and use the mud cannonball!"

The two of them put in 200% effort to pay for their meals next month.

Of course, these Pokémon are just weaklings to Ash, but they are indeed good training grounds for the little guys.

"It's decided that you two will be the best, Eevee and Ralts!"

The two adorable little creatures were still confused when they came out and were trying to jump into Ash's arms.

Xiao Zhi could only give them a good rub on their little faces.

"It would be terrible if we faced a really strong opponent, so focus on the battle now!"

"Ibrahimovic uses Velocidrome to attack Radamanthys!"

"Ralts used its psychic powers to deflect Shuckle's mud projectile attack!"

Although they like to act cute and affectionate, they can quickly get into character when Ash gets serious.

Eevee and Ralts are still a bit lacking, but they're enough to deal with Rattata and Shuckle.

Before Rattata, grinning with its two large front teeth, could pounce, it was blasted away by the starlight screen released by Eevee wagging its tail.

Meanwhile, Ralts used her psychic powers to hit Yamato in the face with a wave of her hand as Shuttle's mud projectile.

Then Shuckle was also knocked away by Eevee's Swift, and Eevee and Ralts successfully gained experience.

"Ugh, you wretched brat!"

This is where Amad's superiority over Musashi, despite his mud-covered face, becomes apparent.

If it were Musashi at this moment, he would have already shouted that the face is the life of a female star and jumped down to fight the enemy to the death.

Although Yamato also cared about his appearance, he was able to restrain his impulse and simply kept raising the hot air balloon.

He was completely focused on his escape objective.

They quickly flew out of Eevee and Ralts' attack range.

"Hahaha, you little brat, you're two thousand years too early to catch us!"

But that silly, laughing look really does resemble Musashi and the others.

Ash could only say that they were celebrating too soon; Kojiro and Jessie would never have said such a thing.

"I need to teach him a lesson!"

He picked up two stones of suitable hardness from the ground and swung his arms around them twice in a windmill motion.

It suddenly hurled itself towards the direction of Amazon and his group's hot air balloon.

With a soft "poof".

The balloon was pierced through by the rock that Ash threw.

"What? They can still shoot through our reinforced hot air balloon from this distance?"

"what--!"

The deflated hot air balloon tumbled rapidly through the air and was about to crash back to the ground.

"Ralts used her Nen to hold the sacks off the hot air balloon!"

Because Shiny Ralts is still a child, its psychic power is not as strong as Gardevoir's.

Precisely supporting the sack containing three Pokémon was extremely difficult for it.

However, in order not to disappoint Ash, Ralts gritted her teeth and activated her psychic power.

"Ralu~Rasu~!" In the end, they barely managed to protect their target.

"Well done, you worked very hard, little one."

After praising it, Ash gave it its favorite delicious energy cube as a reward.

Meanwhile, Kosaburo and Yamato were covered in dust and dirt from the exploding hot air balloon.

Xiaoxia quickly went over and skillfully tied the unconscious people up with ropes.

"Not bad, you completed a mission so quickly." As expected of a member of Team Rocket, the ultimate reputation-farming tool.

"Thank you so much, Yamato and Little Three."

"It's Kosaburo!"

Under the influence of the grand rules of the universe, Kosaburo was forced to wake up and replied to Ash.

"It's outrageous! Everyone mispronounces my name; it's definitely on purpose."

But he soon regretted waking up early.

"Ouch, it hurts! Little girl, don't tie me up like that, it's so embarrassing! And could you be a little gentler?"

There's nothing Xiaoxia can do except use the turtle shell bondage technique, but she won't indulge them.

"Prisoners, don't talk so much!"

Kosaburo was tied up even tighter.

After tying them up, Ash dragged them back to New Leaf Town.

Ash entrusted the three Pokémon in the sack to Misty's care since they were still asleep.

Back outside Dr. Elm's lab, Officer Jenny was still racking her brains trying to figure out how to find the culprit.

Ash has already dragged the culprit back.

This stunned the surrounding police officers.

"What? Is this really the murderer? How did you find him so quickly?"

If she could quickly arrest the culprit, she would be scolded less harshly, and Officer Jenny suddenly found Ash more agreeable.

"This is just what we, as righteous trainers, should do." Ash began to exude charm again.

[Ding! Junsha of Ruoye Town: Affection +2]

They were handed over to Miss Officer Amaral, and later identified by Joey and Dr. Hollowwood.

The culprits have been successfully identified as Yamado and Kosaburo from the Rockets.

Officer Jenny, along with the entire staff of the Wakaba Town Police Department, saluted Ash.

"Mr. Satoshi did such a great deed on his very first day in Wakaba Town. He truly deserves our respect!"

Unfortunately, Officer Jenny and the others had to quickly bring Amado and Kosaburo back to the police station for questioning.

Otherwise, they really wanted to continue having a heart-to-heart talk with Ash, about topics like techniques for quickly catching criminals.

Unfortunately, they could only bid farewell with tears in their eyes.

Inside the repaired laboratory, Ash took out a sack and returned the three Pokémon inside to Professor Elm.

At this moment, the little ones finally woke up and rushed out of the sack.

The first thing to emerge from the sack was a cute little fireball mouse with a dark blue back, a creamy yellow belly, and a hedgehog-like appearance.

Then followed by a small blue-skinned crocodile that could walk upright, a small saw-alligator.

The last one to emerge was a chrysanthemum leaf whose body resembled a large green radish with four short legs.
