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

He casually pulled over a chair from the research lab, walked over to Dr. Kongmu with feigned ease, and revealed his weapon.

At the same time, he put his hand on the doctor's shoulder.

"You must be the famous Professor Elm! Come with us, our Team Rocket leader wants to see you!"

Scarface's tone was fierce and threatening, and the clicking of weapons being cocked echoed around him.

But the Rockets didn't hear the panicked voice they expected from Dr. Skywalker; the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

"To be such a brave Pokémon professor." Scarface frowned and then said more fiercely.

"Kujiki! Don't think that just because you're an expert on Pokémon evolution, we won't dare to touch you!"

"Team Rocket has a research project about Mew that needs your participation. You'd better come with us!"

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen to your wife and children in the lab's backyard!"

As he spoke, Scarface pulled out a dagger and held it to Kongmu's neck.

But Dr. Kumoki didn't even raise his head, completely ignoring Scarface's words.

"Okay, okay, then let's do the experiment as you say~"

The air was completely still, and you could even hear a few crows cawing overhead. The Team Rocket members responsible for the encirclement were starting to get nervous.

"What kind of people are these?!"

Scarface, the leader, suddenly felt like he was punching cotton.

"Hey Kongmu, we're not your assistants!"

"We are the Rockets, and we're trying to hold you hostage. Can't you show us some respect?"

Scarface couldn't take it anymore and was about to forcibly pull Kongmu off the research equipment when...

A loud bang suddenly came from the sky outside the research institute. The helicopter that was originally responsible for picking up Team Rocket agents was smashed to pieces by an unidentified flying object.

The Rockets members' eyes widened instantly.

"What? What happened?"

At that moment, the door was kicked open.

"Who are you? You're not allowed in... Ouch!"

"Get out of my way!" Little Chile landed and kicked away several Team Rocket members who tried to surround him, then quickly walked inside.

Seeing this, the remaining Team Rocket members quickly released their Pokémon in an attempt to stop Ash from advancing, but they were immediately paralyzed by Pikachu's Thunderbolt.

Even Scarface was electrocuted so badly he started breakdancing, spewing black smoke as he collapsed.

"I really shouldn't have taken this mission..."

"Team Rocket?" Ash was wondering who these people dressed in all black were.

Oh, it's Team Rocket! I thought it was just some random Pikachu by the roadside.

No wonder he felt an urge to kick it the moment he saw it, although he did actually do it.

Before he fell, Scarface accidentally released a small amount of electricity from the dagger in his hand, shocking Dr. Kuroki's ear.

Dr. Kumo was startled, and he quickly got up and looked around.

"Oh, what happened?"

The once tidy laboratory is now filled with seven or eight strangers lying haphazardly.

There were also Ash and Misty, who looked very anxious.

"Ash, how come you got here so quickly? Didn't you say it was still two days' journey?"

Who are these people on the ground?

"Never mind all that, Professor Elm, go check on Tyranitar!"

"It's been like this ever since it hatched from the egg."

Ash casually tossed the charcoal on the ground into a pile and quickly showed Professor Elm the Larvitar he was carrying.

"Larakira..." Professor Elm finally noticed something was wrong with the Larakira in Ash's arms.

They quickly pulled out a large box of instruments from the laboratory and placed Yukira on the operating table to examine her.

But the more Dr. Kuroki examined him, the more serious his expression became.

"This is hypothermia, and the situation is not good, but I'm the only one in the lab right now, so surgery is difficult to perform..."

Just as Dr. Kongmu was scratching his head, several footsteps sounded outside the institute's entrance.

"Kongmu, why are all the security guards at your gate fast asleep?"

To Xiao Zhi's surprise, all the people he peeked out were familiar faces he hadn't expected.

"Mom, Professor Oak, what are you doing here?"

"Ash, you arrived so quickly."

It turns out that after learning that Ash had collected all eight badges, the two of them specially came from Pallet Town to Elm Labs.

We're planning to surprise Ash when he gets here and cheer him on for the upcoming tournament.

But to their surprise, even though they arrived two days early, they were still a step behind Xiaozhi.

"You're always getting lost and late, how come you're here so fast this time?"

"Mom even prepared several monster masks to scare you."

When Xiaozhi saw Hanako pull out several huge masks from who-knows-where, he was speechless. This wasn't something you'd use to encourage a child, was it?

"Mom, this kind of thing can't scare me, and now is not the time to talk about this!"

Although Ash wasn't frightened, Professor Oak arrived just in time and quickly pulled him along with Professor Elm to treat Gigantomachia.

With the help of two top Pokémon professors, after a flurry of activity, Larvitar's body temperature finally returned to normal.

"Okay, my consciousness and condition have finally stabilized."

Dr. Kuki wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief as he stood up.

At this moment, Professor Oak also brought a blanket for Larvitar and gently covered it with it.

"Thanks to Xiaozhi and the others for bringing it in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"However, this child is still quite resistant to external stimuli, and it seems to have no desire to eat at all. I can only give it a nutritional injection for now."

"Why is Kira like this?" Misty asked, puzzled.

Normally, when a Pokémon hatches, it's either lively and energetic or full of life, but Larvitar is as hard as a dead object when it's born.

Even with his eyes open, he looked dazed.

Unfortunately, neither Professor Oak nor Professor Elm knew the answer to this question.

But Ash suddenly spoke up.

"Perhaps it's because something terrible happened to Tyranitar when it was still in its egg."

During the flight, Ash's energy resonated with that of Tyranitar.

He vaguely saw a strange scene.

It was like an egg being snatched from its mother's arms by a strange robot and then placed in a wooden box and bumped along the way.

The wooden crate was damaged during the attack and fell onto the street, where it was kicked and shoved by a group of people. It eventually rolled into the river and was washed into the sea, where it was finally picked up by Director Chengmei.

Xiao Zhi told everyone about these things, and everyone was very shocked.

"So, you saw Larvitar's memories? That's quite a rare phenomenon," Professor Oak added.

"Indeed, some Pokémon with strong innate mental abilities can communicate with their trainers. It seems that this Tyranitar is quite talented."

"But in other words, Yukira believes that it shouldn't have been born, which is why it resists the world's contact with it."

Professor Oak let out a long sigh.

"This situation is a bit troublesome now, what if Kira continues to refuse to acknowledge his birth?"

"If it doesn't want to truly come back to life, then even if I keep giving it nutritional injections, Larvitar's body won't be able to hold on."

“In the past, Pokémon like these would eventually die out slowly, almost without exception.”

Infusing Larvitar with Aura power had no effect whatsoever, and Ash could only pat Larvitar on the shoulder with a heavy heart.

“Yukira…”

"Eh?"

Unexpectedly, when Ash touched Tyranitar, it suddenly blinked.

Ash quickly picked it up and realized it wasn't an illusion; Tyranitar's body had indeed become a little softer.

“By…by…”

"Yakira spoke!" Dr. Elm quickly and happily came over to check.

But as soon as he got close to Tyranitar, he instantly hardened again, becoming even more like a stone than if he had been petrified, leaving Dr. Elm to awkwardly scratch his head.

"Professor Elm, can I take care of this Tyranitar?" Ash suddenly asked. He couldn't just watch Tyranitar die.

Larvitar's current official guardian is Professor Elm, so Ash earnestly asked him for help.

"I want to take Yukira to see the beauty of this world and let it believe that being born into this world is a happy thing."

Dr. Kumoku pondered for a moment, then immediately spoke.

"Of course you can, and it seems that Tyranitar is only willing to be close to you, so it's most suitable for you to take care of it." Professor Elm had originally planned to ask Ash for help.

Now that Ash has taken the initiative to speak, Professor Elm naturally won't refuse, and at the same time, he also thought of it.

“There appears to be a habitat for Bangiaras in the protected area at the foot of Silver Mountain.”

“Yakira might be from there. When you go to Mt. Silver, you can take Yukira there to have a look.”

"Maybe we can find out the reason for Yuki's inner conflict."

"Yes, I understand, Doctor."

"Since you've been busy for so long, let's eat first. I've already prepared a late-night snack."

At that moment, Hanako's mother suddenly chimed in, easing the tension.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Kongmu realized that he hadn't eaten dinner yet and suddenly felt extremely hungry.

He readily agreed and led everyone to the dining table at the research institute.

Ash held Lark in his arms, first tying up the Team Rocket members who had fallen over in the lab and hoisting them outside, before coming to the dining table to eat.

Because Ash was there, Hanako's mother prepared a very lavish meal.

"By the way, Ash, you're probably heading straight to Mt. Silver next, right?"

After finishing their meal, Professor Oak suddenly brought up Ash and his friends' itinerary.

"Although there's still more than a month until the start of the competition, given your level of getting lost..."

"It's probably best if you set off sooner for places you haven't been before."

Professor Oak was telling the truth, and Ash and Misty couldn't refute it at all.

"Don't worry, Professor Oak, I've already planned this out."

"We'll set off tomorrow. We can train our Pokémon along the way, and by the time we reach Mt. Silver, we'll be almost there."

"Then you'd better hurry, Xiao Mao has already arrived at Silver Mountain and said he's waiting for you there."

Professor Oak's smile broadened considerably when he talked about Gary.

"Xiao Mao is really looking forward to facing you at the tournament."

"Heh, I can already picture what that guy would say."
