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

"The Little Haruka Expedition Team is setting off again."

"Please, sister, don't assume everyone is like you, okay? Dad said that anyone who knowingly goes to a dangerous place is an idiot."

"Haha, that's generally how it is, but I'm here, aren't I?"

Max is always cautious, unlike May who loves adventure, so Ash showed off his big muscles to reassure him.

"Although this banquet invitation was a scam, it actually fooled Xiaoxia." Xiaozhi frowned slightly.

"I need to figure out whether they're really after Xiaoxia, or... after me!"

Of course, regardless of the type, he would make sure the other person understood why beggar's flowers are so uniquely beautiful.

Xiaoxia chimed in, "That's right, we have to go!"

"That bastard behind the scenes dared to lie to me! I was so looking forward to meeting fellow Togepi fans, and all that excitement has gone to waste!"

Xiaoxia had already used the influence of the Cerulean Dojo to investigate thoroughly, ensuring that the entire event process was legal, compliant, and watertight.

That's why she came happily, and even invited Xiaozhi and the others, but she didn't expect the scene to turn out like this.

This enraged Xiaoxia, who transformed into a furious gyarados. She grabbed one of the slow-moving guards by the ear and threw him toward the driver's seat.

It actually threw him several meters away.

"Get the plane flying right now! If there's no free feast after we land, I won't let you off easily!"

"Ah? Yes!"

Startled by Xiaoxia's astonishing strength, the two guards immediately scrambled to start the airship.

"Xiaoxia is so cool!"

Xiaoxia's powerful display of strength immediately drew gasps of admiration from Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng.

"No wonder he traveled with Ash for so long, he seems quite extraordinary."

Xiaoyao was especially delighted by Xiaoxia's strong yet naturally slender white arms.

"Xiao Zhi wasn't lying to me after all. Even girls who have trained to the level of Xiaoxia don't have exaggerated muscles on their bodies!"

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxia's arrival this time also helped Xiaoyao dispel her biggest concern about exercising.

Then, under the supervision of Ash and his friends, the airship quickly took off and flew straight north.

They sped along at breakneck speed and soon left the territory of the Hoenn League.

Half a day later, Mirajutsu finally appeared in the distance outside the airship window. Haruka was the first to spot it and immediately became excited.

"Hey Ash, look! Mirazuki Kingdom is just ahead!"

The shape of the continent where the Hoenn region is located is strikingly similar to Kyushu Island from Ash's previous life.

Although the alliance occupies most of the continent and has achieved nominal unification, there are still many autonomous or independent kingdoms on the borders.

The Kingdom of Miraju is one of them.

The route to Miraju is far from the prosperous core of Hoenn, and passes through vast deserts along the way.

They even had to cross many sandstorm barriers that raged for years before they could reach the heart of the kingdom.

Airships are the only means by which the kingdom can reliably communicate with the outside world, but the territory of the Kingdom of Miraju is a rare oasis in this vast and desolate desert.

The entire kingdom was surrounded by forests, and its territory was lush, prosperous, and peaceful.

Seeing such a beautiful view, Xiaoyao, a fashionable young girl, naturally snatched the navigator from Xiaosheng and started taking pictures non-stop.

However, just as they were about to approach the kingdom's border, the sandstorms that were most common in this land struck again.

"Well, esteemed guests, we may not be able to land safely for the time being."

"Hey, but we just drove right through the sandstorms we encountered earlier, why can't we do it this time?"

Xiaoxia looked at them with distrust in her eyes.

"You guys didn't try anything funny with me, did you?"

"How could we? We would never dare to lie to you!"

"It's because we forced our way through too many sandstorms that the airship's hull reached its limit..."

The two gatekeepers were also feeling very aggrieved; they had long been terrified of Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia.

All along the way, I just hoped that the airship could fly faster, and preferably teleport directly into the Kingdom of Miraju.

Once they land, their ambush will make their move and give Ash and his friends a good beating. They won't deliberately delay.

They only regretted not flying faster!

Suddenly, Ash held his breath, a flash of blue light appeared on his body, and he instantly appeared outside the airship from the cockpit.

He looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems that a level 5 superpower is already quite impressive."

Then Ash casually raised his hand, and a powerful aura compressed and condensed in his palm before being released.

The massive energy waves pierced through the thick wall formed by the sandstorm, creating a large passage.

At this moment, Xiaoxia immediately understood Xiaozhi's intention and urged the two guards to follow Xiaozhi's spaceship.

The two guards were terrified again.

"A human who can teleport?"

"It can also emit light waves?"

"That's terrifying!" ×2

They decided that once they got off the airship, they would definitely not participate in the attack on Ash. The two of them made up their minds that they must escape as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, at the airship landing field in Miraju Kingdom, the "mastermind" behind the scenes, Hanzo, the regent of the Kingdom of Miraju, who had been waiting impatiently, was yawning with his head down and shoulders down.

Suddenly, his sinister lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

"I'm asking you guys on the Rockets, are you even any good? Why haven't you arrived yet after all this time!"

"Have you forgotten how to properly complete a mission after following that scoundrel Sakaki for so long?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Hanzo, our Rockets team will definitely bring you the Pokerb you want."

"Just don't forget your promise to us when the time comes."

Although the other party's tone was clearly contemptuous, Higanbana, as the representative of Team Rocket for this mission, still managed to maintain her composure.

Of course, it's also related to the fact that she really doesn't care about the Rockets' reputation at all.

"Hmph, little girl, as long as I can get Togepi, I'll do whatever you want, whether it's building a branch or getting funding."

"Miraju will naturally give you plenty, but only if you can fulfill my requirements!"

"That is naturally Lord Han Zuo."

"Humph!"

Xijiana's tone remained unchanged, which made Han Zuo look at this girl with new respect.

"He is neither arrogant nor humble, manages his subordinates in an orderly manner, and has prestige and ability. Where did the Rockets find such a good prospect? It's a real pity."

Suddenly, the silhouette of an airship appeared in the sky and slowly descended.

"Has it finally arrived?"

Han Zuo was overjoyed and called to the guards around him to go forward.

However, the moment the hatch opened, when Higana saw the panicked expressions on the faces of the two guards who came down first, she knew that the original plan had gone awry.

She immediately and quietly pulled the surrounding Team Rocket members back, leaving Hanzo and his guards alone in front.

"Lady Shijana, Master Han Zuo..."

Where's Togepi?

The two rookie guards for the Rockets were clearly terrified of the dominant Hanzo.

But thinking of Ash behind them, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and get off the airship with forced smiles on their faces.

"We've successfully brought Togepi and its trainer, they're right behind us!"

"You bunch of useless trash, the mission failed! I only said to bring Togepi, not that you had to bring him along too!"

"Yes, we are very sorry."

At that moment, the two of them immediately ran towards Xijiana's location without looking back, leaving Han Zuo completely dumbfounded.

"Has my authority become so intimidating?"

"Never mind, I've brought the person here. Now get inside and snatch my Togepi!"

Hanzo, the Togepi trainer, had already seen the photo; she was just a pretty but empty-faced girl.

Han Zuo figured a little girl couldn't cause any trouble, and all he wanted now was to get Togepi as soon as possible.

However, just as the guards rushed up the ladder onto the airship, before they even entered the door, they were immediately kicked away by a long, snow-white leg.

"So that means there won't be a banquet either!!!"

Xiaoxia stormed out of the cabin, her eyes burning with rage.

I never imagined that these people went to such lengths to trick me into coming here, only to steal Togepi.

This was unbearable for Xia, who had raised Pokerby like a child, and she immediately wanted to tear all these people to pieces.

Ash smiled and followed behind Misty with a flower fan, gently fanning away her anger while glancing at the complex formation below the airship.

"The welcome gift was quite elaborate."

"Damn it, how did those two idiots bring so many people?"

At this moment, Hanzo saw the intimidating aura emanating from Ash and his friends, and like Higanbana, he quietly took a few steps back.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and arrest them all!"

The guards of the Kingdom of Miraju were dressed in armor resembling medieval styles and were carrying spears, yet they bravely charged forward.

Those spears were sharpened to a very fine point; an ordinary person might actually be afraid if they saw so many sharp weapons pointed at them.

Unfortunately, they were facing Ash and Misty.

Without Pikachu even lifting a finger, the two of them, with a flurry of punches and kicks, easily routed the charging front guards, sending them tumbling and crawling, and led May and her brother down the slope.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed the achievement "This is a true trainer!": You have landed 10000 blows on humans!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +3000; Attack +2; Special Attack +2; Item "Boxing Gloves" +1]

Boxing Gloves: Special gloves that protect the fists. Wearing them increases the power of punches and prevents contact with the opponent when executing punches.

"what?"

Seeing that his men were no good, Han Zuo immediately took out a Poké Ball.

"Go, Shed Shell Ninja, Iron Mask Ninja, Solar Flare!"

He released two insects that resembled both cicadas and bees, along with a yellowish-brown insect with a white crescent-shaped halo on its head.

When Xiaoxia saw the three Pokémon, she immediately trembled all over, frantically grabbed Ash's arm, and then became too scared to move.

"Ugh, bugs! I hate bugs the most!"

Under the midday sun, the intense sunlight quickly coalesced, and three blazing beams shot straight toward Xiaoxia.

"Hey, Xiaoxia, you seem to have grown a lot, but you immediately revert to your old ways when you encounter a bug."

"They really can't do without my protection," the muscular man thought to himself with a smug grin.

"What's wrong? I'm just scared!"

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

"Pickup!"

Upon hearing the command, Pikachu immediately leaped from Ash's shoulder.

The dazzling yellow lightning and the super-powerful light wave formed by the convergence of three beams of sunlight collided violently in mid-air.

The violent shockwave from the explosion caused the nearby airship to tilt and sway, and the guards around it could barely stand.

"What incredible power!"
