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

The fire instantly turned Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng's faces black.

"Seriously, they only let you out because you haven't been out for a while..."

"How could it be so naughty?" May sighed as she recalled Skitty into its Poké Ball.

Faced with Xiangwei Miao's adorable and affectionate appearance, she really couldn't bear to say anything harsh and punish her severely.

"Sayonara, are we really going this way? Shouldn't the other route be faster to get to LavaCitadel?"

"There's nothing I can do about it." Xiao Zhi smiled as he looked at the two siblings, who were as noisy as ever, and casually took out a handkerchief to wipe the dust off Xiao Yao's face.

“Mikeli said that Dr. Solans is conducting research on the top of Chimney Mountain. If we want to get the meteorite from him, we can only go this way.”

This is the message that Michael told Ash a few days ago in Autumn Leaf City.

As Xiao Zhi recalled the situation, he fell into deep thought.

"Fragments of a meteorite left over from the meteorite crisis a thousand years ago..."

He truly hadn't expected that Mikuri, a trainer who rarely used Dragon Pokémon, would have such a hidden identity as a member of the Sooty Citizens.

Like Higana, a descendant of the Meteor People, Mikuri is a descendant of those who experienced the Great Crisis and is one of the Glass People who have been responsible for protecting the Sky Pillar of Glass City for generations.

Therefore, it is known how attractive meteorites containing enormous natural energy are to Rayquaza.

Just recently, the Alliance received a report from Dr. Solans that he had found fragments of a meteorite near the crater at the top of Chimney Mountain.

Generally speaking, after a thousand years, the remains of that time should have disappeared for various reasons, but unexpectedly there are still remnants.

That's why Michael came specifically to inform Ash.

They hoped he would help Dr. Solans with his research on the ancient meteorite fragments, and that the meteorite would be given to him as a reward once the research was completed.

This allows Ash to try using the meteorite to lure his Rayquaza down.

"Meteorites containing natural energy have a fatal attraction for Rayquaza. I believe you can definitely do something with that meteorite, Ash."

That's what Wallace said to Ash at the time, and Ash naturally agreed immediately.

After all, it was a rare way to get Nigo back from sitting idly, so he had no reason to refuse.

"But Ash, you know that Professor Solans is quite peculiar. He's so fond of meteorites, and he keeps running to dangerous places like volcanoes every day."

"This is the job they love most. It would be a good thing for the world if there were more scholars like them."

Everyone was happily eating lunch and chatting in the cable car while enjoying the surrounding scenery, but then Xiaosheng suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, Sister Ash, don't you guys find it strange? Has the cable car stopped moving since just now?"

"Hey, it seems so!"

Because this area is near a volcano, the scenery is pretty much the same everywhere, and Xiaozhi and Xiaoyao are both busy cooking.

If Xiaosheng hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't have realized that the cable car had been stopped for a long time.

"What on earth is going on?" Xiao Zhi tried dialing the emergency call number inside the carriage, but unfortunately, no one answered.

He immediately realized, "Something must have happened at Yantushan!"

Suddenly, they saw a large armed helicopter taking off from near the top of Yantushan Mountain from the cable car.

This aircraft was definitely not a Union model, and to their surprise, they soon spotted a familiar pattern on the helicopter.

"Team Ocean! What are people from that organization doing here?" Ash was quite puzzled.

Fortunately, he now has an inside contact within the Ocean team, who immediately sent a message to inquire.

Soon, Ash got the information from Ms. Izumi, who had plenty of water.

Upon seeing the message from the other party, Xiao Zhi immediately frowned.

"Oh no! The news that Dr. Solans obtained the ancient meteorite has been leaked!"

"What? So fast?" Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng were also incredulous. "Didn't Mr. Michael say that this was a secret in the League?"

"That's all Dr. Solans's fault," Ash said with a pout.

Dr. Solans has absolutely no sense of precaution.

Because the outer shell of the ancient meteorite was too hard for him to break open for research, he brazenly asked other scholars for help.

This request directly led to the leak of the information.

Anything related to ancient Pokémon would immediately attract the attention of either of those organizations, who would swarm around like wolves smelling meat at the slightest hint of trouble.

The Ocean Team came to Chimney Mountain this time in an attempt to steal the meteorite from Dr. Solans.

"Ash, isn't Professor Zorans in big danger right now?"

"That's right, so we can't waste any more time in the carriage, Pikachu Iron Tail!"

The electric mouse leaped up cleanly, tearing a large hole in the roof of the carriage. Ash, carrying May and Max, jumped out through the hole.

Ash initially intended to chase after Team Aqua's helicopter, but then he noticed the other tourists trapped in cable cars on the other cables.

He decided to head towards the center of the Yantushan scenic area, where the ocean team's helicopter had taken off.

As soon as he arrived, Xiaozhi saw the original staff members tied up and thrown aside.

Surprisingly, the control room was still surrounded by a dense crowd of Team Aqua members.

It seems that the departure of the helicopter did not evacuate many people; the main force of the Ocean Team remains here.

The cable car suddenly stopping was indeed their doing.

Since that's the case, Xiao Zhi won't stand on ceremony.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

"Pickup!"

"Skitty, assist!"

"Meow!"

The thick lightning bolts, along with the silver whirlwind summoned by the cheetah, bombarded downwards.

The attack caught the unprepared members of the Ocean Team completely off guard, resulting in a significant loss of personnel.

"What's going on? Where did the attack come from?"

Among the Ocean Team, a burly, dark-skinned man was the first to regain his composure and quickly began to check who the intruder was.

After searching for a long time, he finally spotted Ash and his friends, who were calmly gazing into the air.

"Damn it, who are you people?! How dare you stop our Ocean Team's mission? Are you tired of living?"

He pointed at Ash and his friends and angrily started cursing.

Ash simply rubbed his ears.

"Hmm, that sounds familiar. Do people from your evil organization like to say that?"

"What evil organization? We are Team Ocean, fighting for love and peace, and for a future where we can coexist harmoniously with Pokémon!"

"It's all talk and no action! Pikachu, unleash another Thunderbolt!"

"Pickup!"

Ash quickly appeared in the air, disorienting Team Aqua before instantly bringing May and her siblings back to the ground, and immediately launched another attack.

Faced with the opponent's aggressive approach, the dark-skinned, muscular man no longer hesitated and immediately led his henchmen to release their Pokémon.

"Go, Deino! Use Ice Beam and freeze them all into ice blocks!"

The fierce-looking, muscular, pig-nosed blue sea lion suddenly landed on the ground and fired a blue beam of light at Ash and his friends.

Unfortunately, Team Ocean's Pokémon are all Water-type, making them completely countered by Ash's Pikachu.

The 100,000 volts were conducted in the reverse direction along the freezing ray, directly shocking the Diya Sea Lion until it was charred black and fell unconscious.

The other Iron Claw Lobsters and Sea Lions that the other Aqua team had just released were also electrocuted in the same way.

At the same time, Xiaoyao's Skitty also unleashed a counter-attack skill, Seed Bomb, to finish off the opponent.

It seems that May and Skitty always have good luck in battles and always manage to draw useful moves.

The following matches went very smoothly. Even with a numerical advantage, Team Ocean couldn't withstand Ash and his friends' unstoppable offensive and was forced to retreat.

But in the middle of the fight, Ash accidentally let Pikachu lose control of its power, and the staff members next to him were also electrocuted.

"Ah, it's numb, numb, numb..."

Feeling embarrassed, Xiao Zhi rushed over after the battle to untie the ropes binding the staff and administer antidote to each of them.

Send the staff to restart the control panel and rescue the tourists who are still trapped in mid-air.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained: Regional Favorability +5; Regional Prestige +5]

Seeing that the scenic area center of Yantushan had resumed operation, Xiaozhi turned around, picked up the burly black-skinned man from before, slapped him awake, and glared at him fiercely.

"Tell me, what's your name?"

At this moment, Xiao Zhi unleashed his full killing intent, transforming himself into a humanoid beast.

This startled the burly man opposite him, who immediately blurted out his words like spilled beans.

"I... I'm called A-Chao, and I'm an officer in the Ocean Team. Our leader is called Shui Wutong... Please, please don't kill me. I'll tell you the truth no matter what the problem is."

The person in front of me looks fierce, but surprisingly, he's a bit of a crybaby.

"He's really not a qualified muscle man," Xiao Zhi said disappointedly, as he hadn't even had a chance to use his interrogation techniques.

Compared to A-Quan, who was defeated five times in a row by Ash's super rookie challenge before finally reluctantly admitting defeat and signing the master-servant contract, he is completely incomparable.

Xiao Zhi didn't have time to ask him any questions, and went straight to the question that concerned him most at that moment.

"Did you steal the meteorite from Dr. Solans's possession?"

"A meteorite? We did come for it, but we didn't manage to get it."

Xiao Zhi cast a suspicious look at him.

"What happened to that helicopter that flew away?"

"It's for transporting lunch. Things in the scenic area are not only ridiculously expensive but also heavily guarded, which is why I had my men go directly to Fuyan Town to buy lunch boxes and bring them over. Otherwise, it would be too expensive."

"Wow, that makes a lot of sense." Xiao Zhi was convinced by A Chao's spirit of thrift.

"No normal person should be convinced!"

At this moment, May complained speechlessly and came to Ash's side.

"So, where is Dr. Solans now? Is the meteorite still in his possession?"

"The meteorite is now in the hands of the Lava Team!"

"Team Magma?" Ash hadn't expected there to be such a thing as Team Magma.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If Team Ocean can get the information, then Team Magma can definitely get it too.

Both organizations share the same obsession with ancient artifacts; once one takes action, the other will naturally follow suit.

"You're not lying?"

"It is absolutely true, brave warrior!"

Seeing Ash's perfect body, which was even bigger than his own when it exploded, Ah Chao felt like a little chick being held in Ash's hand. How could he dare to utter a single lie?

"Because we are near a volcano, our Water-type Pokémon were unable to unleash their full power. As a result, we were ambushed and defeated by that bastard from Fire Village, and had to temporarily abandon the mission."

"The reason we're still staying in the center of Chimney Peak is to try and sabotage the Lava Team's next plan."

After confirming that Ah Chao hadn't lied to him, Xiao Zhi tossed him aside again.

After quickly binding all the members of the Ocean Team, he asked Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng to help look after them and rescue the tourists who were trapped in mid-air.

He immediately flew high into the sky with Pikachu, using his Aura Sense at full power to locate Team Magma.

"We need to get Dr. Solans and the meteorite out of here as soon as possible."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower!": Please rescue the ancient meteorite from the evil organization and thwart the Lava Team's operation!]

【奖励：联盟币+6000；攻击+2；防御+2；自由属性点+2；丰缘地区好感度+5；丰缘地区威望+5】

Ash quickly found Team Magma, not through his own Aura Sense, but through Pikachu's intuition.

He was diligently conducting a thorough search of the area near the mountain road, but when he found nothing, Pikachu suddenly pulled his hat and pointed towards the crater.
