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

He fell into the study of the house.

"Xiao Gang, are you alright?"

At that moment, Ash was battling Ninetales with Pikachu when Misty rushed over to check on Brock's safety.

But to her surprise, as soon as she entered the study, she saw the portrait displayed in the center of the wall.

"Is this Xiao Gang?"

"What do you mean, 'me'?" Xiao Gang quickly got up from the rubble, his body still strong and full of energy.

The person in the picture is a young man dressed in Tang suit, who looks very similar to Xiao Gang, with only minor differences.

"This person must be the master of the Nine-Tails."

On the desk in the study, there was an ancient ceramic Poké Ball and a diary. Xiaoxia and the others quickly went over to check them out.

"This diary is full of things about the Nine-Tailed Fox..." Xiaoxia quickly turned to the last page.

The only record there is that the Nine-Tails' owner was going on a trip and asked the Nine-Tails to watch the house, and that's it.

"The time was... two hundred years ago!" Xiaoxia exclaimed in shock, and Xiaogang quickly came over to take a look as well.

"What?! This nine-tailed fox is male!"

Is this what you should care about?

Xiao Gang was on the verge of tears. How could a male nine-tailed fox impersonate Miss Luo Ke so perfectly?

"But two hundred years ago, that means the owner of the Nine-Tails should have passed away, so why is the Nine-Tails still so lively?" Xiaoxia asked, puzzled.

Xiao Gang, who was more knowledgeable, did have some understanding of this.

"There is a legend that the nine-tailed fox can live for a thousand years."

Suddenly, he remembered something, grabbed the Poké Ball from the table, and rushed to the living room.

At this moment, Ash and Pikachu had already subdued Ninetales in the living room.

This Ninetales is incredibly powerful. Despite being a pure Fire-type Pokémon, it possesses a very strange psychic ability.

Every time Ash is about to punch her, she uses a teleportation-like ability to teleport herself away. She also has the ability to create illusions and manipulate surrounding objects.

On one occasion, it even teleported Ash and Pikachu to the outside of the mansion, while simultaneously erecting a sturdy barrier.

But Ash immediately had Mewtwo teleport him back, and then used a barrier to bind Ninetales.

However, it immediately broke through Mewtwo's barrier and summoned a clone, causing Ash a lot of trouble.

"They're quite troublesome."

Nine-Tails' illusion clones are similar to shadow clones; each clone emits a wave, making it impossible for Ash to determine which one is the real body.

Just as Ash was pondering whether to use a wide-range Aura Wave to blast away all of Nine-Tails' clones at once, Brock arrived.

He picked up the ceramic Poké Ball, aimed it at the group of Nine-Tails clones, and shouted loudly.

"Come back, Nine-Tails!"

All the nine-tailed clones raised their heads together, and on Xiao Gang's body, they gradually saw the figure of their former master.

With an uncontrollable scream, it turned into a red light and was returned to its Poké Ball, tears streaming down its face.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the new side quest "The Nine-Tails' Watch": Please release the Nine-Tails' obsession.]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +4000; Special Attack +2; Special Defense +2; Free Attribute Points +2]

"As expected..." Brock sighed as he examined the Poké Ball.

"What exactly happened, Xiaogang?"

Just then, Ash and Misty ran over.

How come Ninetales' obsession disappeared as soon as it entered the Poké Ball?

Suddenly, Luo Ke's figure reappeared out of thin air.

"Thank you, Mr. Brock, for finally allowing me to return to my master's Poké Ball."

"So you are..."

"I am an illusion created by the Nine-Tailed Fox."

"Ugh!" Xiao Gang's fantasy was completely shattered, but he pressed the button on the Poké Ball again to release Ninetales.

"Xiao Gang, what's going on?"

This startled Xiaoxia, but Xiaogang shook his head.

"It's all over now."

As expected, when the Nine-Tails reappeared, its aura was much calmer, and it did not make any further offensive moves.

"Tell us your story in detail," Xiaozhi said, pulling Xiaoxia and Xiaogang down to sit again.

Nine-Tailed Fox also quietly sat down next to Loke's illusion.

"Two hundred years ago, my master said one day that he was going on a trip. He was supposed to return in a month, but it seems that something unexpected happened."

"After several years without any news, the servants in the house gradually left, but I remained here waiting for my master."

"Three years, ten years, thirty years, the house gradually fell into disrepair, but I am still waiting for its owner."

"Until the hundredth year, I thought my master was no longer alive, and finally made up my mind to leave."

"But I found that no matter what I did, I couldn't seem to leave this house."

"It's because of this Poké Ball, isn't it?" Brock picked up the ceramic-faced Poké Ball.

"I once saw a luxurious ball in an ancient book, from two hundred years ago."

"It was once very popular among the wealthy, but people later discovered that it had a fatal flaw in its manufacturing process, so it has been completely destroyed."

"Yes, I continued to wait in this house until the 150th year when I suddenly gained some kind of magical power."

"Using this ability, I repaired the exterior of the house and successfully re-established contact with the outside world through the postman, and then I saw Mr. Xiaogang's photo in a magazine."

Ash and his friends knew what happened next: Ninetales lured Brock here by giving him a request, wanting him to live here with it forever.

I never imagined there would be stand-in literature in the Pokémon world.

"I originally thought that if Mr. Xiaogang, who looks just like the owner, continued to live in this house, he could return to the happy times he had with the owner."

"But I now realize I was wrong, and I'm truly sorry for causing you all trouble." Nine-Tails bowed its head deeply.

"It's okay, I don't blame you."

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Nine-Tails allowed him to experience the dream of having a beautiful older woman throw herself into his arms, which truly made Xiao Gang feel great.

Suddenly, Xiao Gang released the ceramic luxury ball from its restraints and slammed it to the ground, shattering it completely.

"Now you are free, Nine-Tails!"

Freed from the constraints of the Poké Ball, Ninetales felt a sudden lightness in its body and was moved to tears.

Just then, Ash suddenly leaned close to Brock and asked, "Brock, have you ever thought about this...?"

But before he could finish speaking, Xiao Gang immediately shook his head and interrupted him.

"Xiao Zhi, we must believe in science."

"I have never believed in things like reincarnation."

"But you not only look exactly like the Nine-Tailed Fox's former owner, you even have the same biological information."

Seeing that other people's classic luxury balls are ready to use right away makes one really think in that direction.

Besides, aren't there plenty of unscientific and magical things in the Pokémon world? This is a place where there really is a creator god.

Xiao Gang didn't know how to refute it for a moment, and helplessly scratched his cheek.

At this moment, the fog in the forest completely disappeared, and bright sunlight shone into the living room through the hole created when Ash and Nine-Tails were fighting.

The nine-tailed fox disappeared here along with the mist.

Finally, it was Togepi's reminder that everyone noticed Kurama had already left.

"The Nine-Tails has been bound here for too long; it must want to regain its freedom."

Perhaps after enjoying the fresh air of nature, Nine-Tails will want to come back to find Xiao Gang, or it will choose to continue living freely in the wild.

Since Brock chose to smash the Poké Ball, it means he will fully respect Ninetales' wishes.

Although Nine-Tailed Fox had left, it left a key and several envelopes on the table. Xiao Gang picked up the top envelope and started reading it.

"These were once the master's collection, but are now useless. Please give them to you as an apology..."

Everyone opened their envelopes, and inside Xiaoxia's envelope was a hairpin that looked very expensive.

A small stone slab that shimmered with a peculiar light was poured out of Ash's envelope.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the "Slate of Arceus - Magic Slate": When equipped by a Pokémon, it will increase the power of Psychic-type moves by 20%.]

"what!"

Ash was incredulous to find an Arceus tablet in such a place.

What Xiao Gang poured out was actually a well-made land deed.

Nine-Tails actually left the entire mansion's deeds and keys to Xiao Gang.

This is a super-large mansion with an artificial lake and rockery park covering an area of ​​over 100 acres.

Two hundred years ago, land deeds were of little use to ordinary people, but Xiao Gang's family were Gym Leaders in Pewter City.

He has connections; as long as the land deed is genuine, this entire estate will undoubtedly belong to Xiaogang.

Although the place is dilapidated, the workmanship is excellent, so at least Xiaogang's dozen or so younger siblings will not have to worry about housing in the future.

"But how can I afford to repair it now!"

Chapter 293 Champion Adu (4k, bonus chapter)

After leaving the Nine-Tailed Mansion, Brock had to deal with some land deeds, so he temporarily parted ways with Ash and Misty.

Ash and his friends continued their journey towards Kaji Town.

The morning after a day of walking.

In the campsite in the forest, Ash woke up and made a helpless face by the campfire.

"Judging from the current situation... is this really the case again...?"

"And what then?"

"We're lost again!"

"Ah, this is such a surprise~" Xiaoxia cupped her face.

"Damn it, I hate roads like this that are full of forests. It's even more annoying that I haven't encountered any wild Pokémon along the way!"

Getting lost is one thing, but not encountering wild Pokémon is what drives Ash crazy. Who can he vent all his overflowing love to?

"In that case, I might as well take some time to train my Pokémon."

Ash released Snowball and Garchomp, deciding to give them a good workout today.

"Xiaobai, use the weather ball!"

"Garuda, use Stomp!"

However, unexpectedly, when Ash released the Pokémon, both White and Garchomp seemed listless for some reason.

They looked completely exhausted, unable to even properly unleash their skills.

"What happened? Are they all sick?" Xiao Zhi quickly went over to check.

However, after a thorough examination, both Pokémon were found to be in good health, and no problems were discovered at the time.

"Pikachu, Pikachu~"

At this moment, Pikachu also ran out of the tent and came to Ash's side waving its little hand.

"Pikachu, are you feeling unwell too?"

"Pika~" Pikachu nodded repeatedly.
