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

They searched for three days in such a nearby place and still couldn't find it.

The police force in the Kanto region is truly worrisome.

Ash went to the children in the park and used Aura to wake them up one by one.

[Ding! Side quest completed: Father Buster! Go save the cute little boy!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +500; Speed ​​+2; Free Attribute Points +1; Regional Reputation +5]

This time, Xiao Zhi once again performed a meritorious service, and the city's Metropolitan Police Department commended him and awarded him a bonus of 1 yuan.

And he handed the mischievous Baku to Ash to take away.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved the achievement: Hypnotic Guidance: You have obtained a Hypnotic Pokémon]

[Rewards: Stamina +2; Attack +2; Speed ​​+2]

Ash unexpectedly acquired a Pokémon, and upon scanning it with his Pokédex, he discovered it was a female Hydreigon.

"In short, it's great that things were resolved smoothly."

Although it looked rather sleazy, Ash didn't mind and accepted it.

"This is not good at all. Why is that Psyduck following us around?"

"This is a Pokémon I specially prepared for you, and it seems to really like you."

Because she was walking backwards, Xiaoxia wasn't paying attention and bumped into a small stone, causing her Poké Ball to fall off.

Psyduck walked forward, swaying its body blankly, looking at the Poké Ball with a puzzled expression, and then suddenly tapped the button on the Poké Ball with its head.

Xiaoxia successfully caught Psyduck.

She held the Poké Ball with a slight frown, as if she didn't quite like it.

"I don't want this silly Pokémon!"

The duck god was actually rejected, so Ash had no choice but to hold Misty's hand and say something.

"Psyduck is a gift for you."

"The fact that you were able to subdue it by chance means that all of this was the choice of Steins;Gate!"

"...What door?"

"That's not important! It's one of the few Water-type Pokémon that can use psychic powers, let's train it well together!"

Hearing Ash say that, Misty decided to keep Psyduck.

"From now on, let's name Psyduck 'Duck-Powered Masseuse'." (Beast Senpai: Huh?)

"No way!" Xiaoxia refused decisively.

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

No sooner had Ash and his friends left than a dark-skinned boy with small eyes arrived.

He carefully examined the map, confirmed the location of his destination, and then strode off briskly.

And the direction they were heading was the same direction Ash had taken when he left.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Encounter with Xiao Gang

Beauty Street, also known as Breeder Street, is a famous tourist attraction in the Kanto region.

Many experts in the breeding industry and makeup artists who specialize in Pokémon makeup have opened shops here.

It can even attract top Coordinators from the Hoenn-Sinnoh region to come here specifically for grooming themselves and their Pokémon.

Why is Ash here?

That's a question for the most beautiful girl in the universe.

"Ah, so this is what's trending now, it's so cute!"

Staring at the largest poster on the wall, Xiaoxia excitedly pulled Xiaozhi, who had just finished exercising.

"Let's hurry over to the store and take a look!"

The poster features a gas bomb and an Arbok, both heavily made up.

Ash asked incredulously.

"What a vulgar aesthetic! Is this really trendy?"

Unfortunately, Xiaoxia insisted on going, so he had no choice but to accompany her.

As soon as I arrived at the store, a loud advertisement blared from the loudspeaker.

"Look, look! Our store is at the forefront of fashion in the Pokémon world."

"By the elegant and beautiful Ms. Musashi and her assistant, Mr. Kojiro..."

Xiao Zhi immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Musashi, Kojiro..."

This shop is currently the hottest shop on the beauty street.

It's true that they can succeed in any industry except for catching Pikachu.

Inside the shop, Musashi and Kojiro had just finished giving the previous customer's Pokémon a complicated and ugly makeover.

Musashi was so moved by the Pokémon-themed makeup that she burst into tears.

"It's so beautiful, we've created another beautiful place."

Kojiro also enjoyed it.

"I am so proud of my talent!"

Just as they were laughing loudly at their success, they suddenly spotted Ash at the door.

The two of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.

"That person...that person is..."

"You can't see us! You can't see us!"

To their relief, Xiao Zhi ultimately did not enter the store.

They haven't even started doing anything bad yet, so why not just kick them out without giving them a reward?

Moreover, Misty insisted that Psyduck get the Team Rocket beauty treatment, and the most expensive one at that.

Despite attempts to persuade him, he wouldn't listen, so Xiao Zhi had no choice but to wait in the family quarters near the entrance.

So bored while waiting, Xiao Zhi even started observing the shops across the street.

The Rockets' cosmetics store is really successful; it's basically taken over all the business in the area.

The breeding house across the street also looked deserted, but you could see the owner inside through the transparent glass.

She was a young and beautiful female boss. Xiao Zhi observed her carefully for a moment, and then continued to observe her.

After admiring the view for a while, Xiao Zhi suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

He was a tall, slender man with dark skin, and what was most striking about him was his appearance.

Her eyes were so small they looked like slits.

"This looks very familiar, but it's also so young..." Xiao Zhi pondered for a while.

"Xiao Gang!"

Because he shouted very loudly, Xiao Gang heard him and quickly turned around.

"Who is calling me?"

Ash excitedly ran up to him.

"It's me, Xiaogang! I'm so glad to finally meet you!"

"Hello! Ah! Let go! Let go!"

Brock quickly pulled his hand away from Ash's reddened grip and asked...

Have we met before?

Before Xiaozhi could answer, Xiaogang's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Were you staring at Miss Xiaoxue just now?

This guy is just as perceptive as Satoshi when it comes to sensing the gazes of beautiful women.

"Xiaoxue, is she the female owner of that shop?"

"I don't deny that I was admiring her just now, because the flower was beautiful!"

"To not look at it would be to be ignorant of romance."

Xiao Zhi has also developed a thick skin.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Gang was not angry at all; instead, he nodded in agreement with Xiao Zhi's words.

"Yes, it would be abnormal for a man to be able to resist looking at such a beautiful woman."

Xiao Gang looked into Xiao Zhi's bright eyes, and although it was their first time meeting, there was a certain sense of familiarity between them.

It felt like meeting someone of the same kind, a sense of closeness.

[Congratulations, host, on achieving the achievement: Scumbag Resonance]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +600; Speed ​​+2; Free Attribute Points +2]

"Young man, you have excellent taste."

The mutual appreciation between men can develop so quickly.

Ash and Brock clasped hands together again with a "snap".

[Ding! Xiao Gang: Affection +7]

"Actually, I've admired you, Xiaogang, for a long time. I really admire your level as a breeder."

[Ding! Xiao Gang: Affection +3]

"Oh dear, that's too kind. As a breeder, I'm still a novice."

Xiao Gang scratched his head sheepishly, then turned his gaze to Xiao Xue inside the shop.

"She's nowhere near as good as Xiaoxue, who was the Pokémon Tournament champion of Breeding Town for three consecutive years."

But as they looked at each other, their gazes changed again.

"Then let's go in and say hello to Miss Xiaoxue."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Gang was so shy that he refused to move, and in the end, Xiao Zhi had to forcibly drag him inside.

When they got to the store, Xiao Gang was still acting like a deadbeat, and he couldn't even speak properly in front of Xiao Xue.

If it were any other beautiful woman, Xiao Gang could have proposed on the spot.

It seems that when he meets someone he truly likes, he can act like an innocent little boy.

“Miss Xiaoxue, you are my idol. It was because I admire you that I decided to become a breeder.”

With a blush on his face, Xiao Gang finally managed to utter a complete sentence with Xiao Zhi's encouragement.

"Really? It's my honor. Thank you, Xiao Gang."

"It's just that I may not be able to continue being your target now."

As she spoke, Xiaoxue looked out the window with a melancholy expression.

"Ever since that shop across the street opened, the trend among breeders has changed; everyone has started blindly pursuing flashy appearances,"

"The inner workings of Pokémon are no longer valued."

Xiaoxue is a Pokémon breeder who prioritizes the health and preferences of her Pokémon.

Musashi and her friends blindly piled on extravagant makeup photos, completely ignoring Pokémon's ideas.

Unfortunately, people seemed to prefer the Rockets' campaign, which was plastered all over the city, while Xiaoxue's shop gradually became deserted.

Only a few loyal old customers will continue to patronize the store.
