"Oh dear, they're all old acquaintances!"
"May, Max, Pikachu, we've found Professor Oak and the others."
"really?"
"It's here, so close to Odamaru's lab."
At that moment, Ash activated the Electric Ball Plate within his body and gently hooked it, causing all the surveillance cameras on the perimeter of the entire base to turn towards him simultaneously.
In the control room, Xiao Zhi's big face filled every screen.
"Where are you guys running off to, Rockets?"
"Ah, a ghost has appeared!" ×2
"Yamado, what happened to that metallic coating that used to block the kid's senses? Didn't you rework it?"
"Forgot? Besides, this base was built by just the two of us. That bastard Dr. Lambo, who kicked us when we were down, sold us such expensive building materials. Where would we get the extra money?"
"..." Kosaburo was so panicked that he crossed the threshold and fell into a strange calm.
"What do we do now?"
"Run!"
Kosaburo then seemed to snap out of his daze, quickly dropping all his luggage and following Amado towards the secret passage.
But by then, Ash had finished his exploration and arrived outside the stone wall of the control room.
"Upon closer inspection, the base is quite rudimentary; Team Rocket only has two members, Saburo and Yamato."
"With so few people, we can't really have a good fight," Ash said with great regret.
Then there's no need to bring the Pokémon out; he can find the right spot and fly down from Salamence's back to where he is.
With a single punch, he punched a large hole in the wall connecting the control room to the outside world, and instantly used his telekinesis to control Kosaburo and Yamato, who were trying to escape.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
"Pickup!"
Then, with a bang, Kosaburo and Amado turned into stars in the sky.
"This time it was so fast."
"Damn it, we haven't even had a chance to be happy for long! I hate you, you little brat!"
"Ugh, what a horrible feeling!" ×2
At this moment, Max and May jumped off Salamence's back and walked into the control room through the large hole that Ash had just created.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Sheng's head immediately started shaking left and right.
Where's Professor Oak? Where's Professor Oak?
"Don't worry, Xiaosheng, the Rockets have moved them to another location."
Ash picked up the two large bundles left behind by Saburo and the others, and looked through them. Inside were the professor's research reports, some Poké Balls, and...
"A strangely shaped large rock?"
He immediately picked up the stone, held it in his hands, and weighed it carefully.
The powerful energy fluctuation that had just responded to his waveguide perception seemed to have originated from this stone.
But now, no matter how Ash calls out to it, there is no response, as if it has truly turned into an ordinary stone.
"Never mind, let's go save Professor Oak and the others first." Ash put the rock back, then picked up the two large bags and located the professors.
Muscular excavator, start it!
When Ash and his friends broke through the floor and arrived at the prison where Professor Oak and his friends were being held...
Then you see Professor Oki and Professor Birch, their two big butts sticking out, frantically digging with the leftover spoons from breakfast, trying to escape.
"Professor Oak, I don't think using a small spoon to dig a tunnel is a good idea."
"Well, there's no other way... Hmm? Ash's voice!"
At this moment, Professor Oak, who was covered in dust and dirt, immediately turned around and burst into tears. Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure at the railing.
He immediately grabbed Professor Birch and ran over there.
"Great! It really is you, Ash!"
"You finally found us. Those two from Team Rocket didn't move my stuff, did they?"
"And most importantly, is Jirachi alright?"
"Ji Lachi, what Ji Lachi?"
Chapter 455 Jirachi
"It's the legendary Mythical Pokémon that can grant people's wishes, Jirachi."
Seeing that May and Max seemed to have no idea, Ash patiently explained it to them.
Ash would occasionally come across these well-known legendary Pokémon while scrolling through short videos in his previous life, so he knew their general information.
In Ash's memory, Jirachi should be a cute little yellow creature with starry hair.
But he didn't see any similar Pokémon in Professor Oak's Poké Balls.
Suddenly, Ash remembered the peculiar stone that could release enormous energy. He first broke the bars of the cage to let Professor Oak and the others out, and then immediately took the stone out of his bag.
"Professor Oak, is this Jirachi?"
"That's it!"
Professor Oak finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Jirachi was alright.
However, Max, who was particularly excited when he heard that he could see a mythical Pokémon, was somewhat disappointed.
"Ah~, the legendary Jirachi is just a rock."
"Haha, to be precise, it's Jirachi who's sleeping inside this rock."
At this moment, Ash led everyone out of Team Rocket's base, boarded Salamence, and flew back to Birch's lab.
After settling in, Professor Oak took Jirachi, which had turned to stone during its slumber, from Satoshi's hands and carefully began to clean it.
Meanwhile, in the living room of the research institute, he continued to recount the origins of Kirachi.
"Not long ago, a scientist named Butler, who had once played for Team Magma but was later expelled, learned about the legend of Jirachi from somewhere."
"He disguised himself as a magician and infiltrated the motorcade of a traveling amusement park, using the motorcade to travel to various regions."
"We finally found the legendary Farns Forest, which is only open once in a long while, and stole Jirachi from its slumber."
"And he attempted to take advantage of the arrival of the Millennium Comet to awaken Jirachi and forcibly seize its power in order to fulfill his ambition of resurrecting Groudon."
"Resurrect Groudon? How could he even think of that?" Ash hadn't expected Groudon to be involved here.
Professor Oak shook his head at Butler's idea.
"His so-called resurrection is actually the same principle as Devon Corporation's resurrection of fossil Pokémon from fossils. It is essentially cloning based on the obtained fossil genes."
"It is extremely difficult to perfectly clone an ordinary Pokémon. At present, we can only achieve results on fossil Pokémon, let alone clone a legendary Pokémon."
"Butler was expelled from Team Magma because his initial machine failed to clone Groudon, which was considered a deception of the organization's funding."
It sounds kind of pitiful.
"But he didn't think there was anything wrong with his machine; he stubbornly believed that it lacked enough energy, so he set his sights on Jirachi, which came with the Millennium Comet."
"However, after expelling the Rockets, the Kanto League's long-standing problem of police manpower shortages was greatly alleviated."
"So, just as he finished stealing Jirachi and was about to begin his plan, he was arrested by the prosecutor who had been watching him for a long time."
"Jirachi was naturally confiscated by the League and, after his identity was confirmed, was handed over to me for safekeeping."
Just then, Oak took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered something, and turned to Ash to say something.
"Oh, right, Ash, I heard that the ones who caught the criminals are the hottest girl prosecutors team right now."
"It is indeed surprising that the daughters of those two families would team up as prosecutors."
"It's someone you know, Xiaozhi."
When Professor Oak suddenly said this with a smile, two familiar faces popped into Ash's mind.
"The prosecutors...could it be them?"
"Wow, looks like I actually know them, beautiful prosecutors! And there are two of them! No wonder he's a perverted scumbag."
At this moment, as soon as Xiaosheng saw Xiaozhi's expression, he started to tease him.
At the same time, Xiaoyao's mood immediately turned somber, and her lips twitched incessantly, clearly indicating that she was not happy.
"Being a prosecutor at around our age must mean they're incredibly capable... hahaha..."
"Wait a minute, I'm really innocent this time!" Ash can swear that he, Miki, and Nightingale are just ordinary friends.
Just because he usually preys on a lot of beautiful women doesn't mean that every pretty girl he knows is a victim of his cruelty!
"Oh?"
It's obvious that May and the others don't believe Ash at all.
This is the reputation of muscular men!
Even Pikachu isn't on Ash's side, since it doesn't know whether its trainer has ever had any feelings for him.
"Pikachu, what kind of people are those girls?"
At this moment, May picked up Pikachu and took out a few Power Cubes to tempt it to "betray" Ash.
And as Ash's best friend, Pikachu is naturally...
"Pikachu, Pikachu."
"What? One of them has a cute face, and the other has long legs!"
"Pickup!"
It told the whole truth.
"Pikachu!" Ash cried out in anguish.
But he was more concerned about something else.
"Why can you understand what Pikachu is saying, Haruka?!"
"That's not important, Ash, you're such a pervert!" May immediately moved her seat next to Ash to stop him from taking advantage of her.
After May's affection level exceeded 40, every time she was about to sit down next to Ash, Ash would secretly find an opportunity to put his hand on the chair beforehand.
Normally, after a moment of shock, Haruka would immediately transform into a strict teacher, forcefully grinding and crushing Satoshi to punish his misbehavior.
This was a thrilling play they were having with their boyfriend, something they were keeping secret from everyone around them.
But now Xiaoyao is angry and won't punish him.
This made Ash feel disappointed. "Damn it!"
Meanwhile, Professor Oak, unaware that Ash and his friends were playing such a big game, was still happily placing Jirachi on the table.
His words immediately drew Ash and the others' attention back.
"Children, look, this is the complete picture of Jirachi in its petrified state."
"Legend has it that Jirachi is a Pokémon that awakens only once every 1000 years to help people fulfill their wishes."
"Moreover, it can only be brought to the closest point to the millennium comet within seven days of its appearance, and only after resonating with the comet's energy can it break free of its petrified state and become active."
"It is said that during that time, it will also choose a pure-hearted boy who can protect it as a companion."
"Ash, the reason I came here is to give it to you."
"A pure-hearted boy, Ash Ketchum?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaosheng was shocked. Which of the four words "pure-hearted" could possibly be related to Xiaozhi?
"Why not me?"
A pure love of beauty and a pure passion for Pokémon—how can that not be pure? Ash is quite confident in the purity of his heart.
