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

The Nidorans around Ash no longer looked at him with hostility.

"Suicune, go!"

"I've arrived!"

With a light leap, the Water Lord landed on the river surface.

Wherever its feet touch, a circular barrier immediately radiates outward from it.

The water inside the barrier immediately became clear, and even the stench disappeared.

Before long, thanks to the water spirit's lively purification efforts, the entire river returned to its clear state.

The Pokémon around Ash cheered and jumped for joy.

"That's not enough. If we don't block the source of pollution, the rivers will only be clean temporarily, and they will soon become dirty again."

"Nido, Nido?" (What will we do now?)

Looking at the innocent and guileless Nidoking, Ash grinned mischievously and pulled out a contract.

In exchange for providing unlimited food, medical care, and habitat maintenance, Ash would receive Nidoking and Nidoqueen, along with other members of the clan known for their fighting prowess, to work for him.

These Pokémon don't actually understand the contract, but they generally understand the meaning: "We'll help you fight, and you'll take care of us."

Ash was impressed by the teamwork among these Nidorans.

A single dog may not be much, but when they are grouped together, their firepower can overwhelm even fully armed city police and an equal number of Growlithes.

With Suicune as their guarantor, and tempted by unlimited food and personal care, Nidoking and Nidoqueen took the lead in agreeing.

After this incident, these Pokémon realized that without human treatment, they might all die from food poisoning, so they learned their lesson.

Although it was humans who polluted the water source, Ash used Holy Cleave.

"What kind of fellow humans? If you don't know them, don't try to associate with them. They are animals, I am a trainer, we are different."

The Pokémon seemed to understand, but they were still willing to believe in Ash, who had helped them.

Ash personally took Nidoking and Nidoqueen with him, while the rest are expected to be distributed to the best students at the gym later.

Soon, under Ash's orders, the group company and the gym staff arrived and began construction overnight to establish an ecological protection zone.

From now on, Ash will be in charge of Nidoran's territory.

The next morning, Xiaozhi ordered Raizo to lead his men to arrest all the people from the companies that had caused the trouble.

The mayor's secretary, Kameda, even tried to dissuade him.

"Master Yalang, this city isn't entirely under your control, is it? Do you really have to be at odds with the mayor?"

"Gym Leaders have a responsibility to maintain order and justice in the city. I'd arrest even the mayor if they were the only ones I arrested!"

Showing absolutely no respect to the person on the other side, Xiao Zhi simply opened the door and saw them off.

"From now on, there will only be one sun in the Dark City!"

Ash has already reported the evidence of these people's crimes to the League Central Committee. As long as the established facts are achieved, the League will only issue a few words of criticism.

There won't even be any criticism, because the mayor is a spy for the Rockets and the owner of the Aaron Institute is a partner of justice.

The reason we disregarded proper procedures was all for the future of the league!

Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Who will be responsible if the Rockets' spy runs away?

Ash rushed to the city center plaza with Suicune and explained to the citizens the whole story of the Pokémon attack on Dark City.

And it's unfair to pin all the blame on those illegal businesses and the mayor; it's not fair to say that the blame was originally their fault.

The citizens were outraged upon hearing this and forgave the Pokémon that had come to cause destruction.

After all, everyone has a high moral standard, and those with a conscience understand that it is indeed humanity's fault.

Of course, the most important thing is the citizens who were injured due to the damage. Xiao Zhi has personally visited each of them to offer condolences and generous compensation.

"It is my responsibility as the museum owner to cause such a great calamity to the city. I will fund the reconstruction of Dark City!"

"Master Aaron clearly didn't do anything wrong, yet he still did this..."

"You're amazing, curator!"

This really boosted her popularity in the city.

At the same time, Ash finally gained control of the Dark City's populace and its important shared assets.

After gaining public support, everyone agreed that the mayor was a terrible person and needed to be arrested.

In the private room of the Dark Philosophy Gym Leader, Ash looked at the endless stream of documents that were originally meant for the mayor's approval.

"Raizo, from now on you and the Ten Vajras will wear snow-white uniforms, and I want to eat Kanto cuisine."

Chapter 112 I Want You to Marry Me

The Philosophy Dojo is for the toughest of the tough, a dojo only for the most masculine men!

After dealing with all the tedious matters, Ash finally had time to have a heart-to-heart talk with his adorable students.

“Billy King, you are my most valued disciple.”

In the Philosopher's Gym Leader's private room, only Ash and one of his Ten Great Gym Leaders, Billy King, were alone.

"Raizo is too rigid, Hideyoshi is reckless, and Awei is short-sighted. Of all the disciples, you are the most outstanding!"

"Master!" Billy King was deeply moved by Ash's praise.

"You've had a hard time while I was away. Here's a Pokémon that I specially prepared for you. Take good care of it."

Ash gave the Venusaur that he had cloned from Mewtwo to Billy King.

"In my heart, you are like my own son. Raizo is not in good health, so you must work even harder!"

[Ding! Billy King: Favorability +10; Loyalty +5]

"Yes, Master, I will certainly not let you down."

Holding the Poké Ball of Venusaur, Billy King knelt down and bowed deeply to Ash, weeping bitterly. He was an orphan and no one had ever been so kind to him before.

"Alright, put away this unmanly act. Don't brag to people when you go out that the head chef is giving you special treatment, or others will say I'm biased."

Give Billy, who's crying his eyes out, a hug from a man; this kind of simple-minded muscleman is easy to fool.

"Go and call Hideyoshi in. He's been really out of line lately. I need to give him a good talking to."

Soon after King Billy left, Hideyoshi entered.

"Hideyoshi, you are my most valued disciple!"

……

Xiao Zhi personally received each of his disciples, and after the meeting, their loyalty increased to varying degrees.

Meanwhile, the powerful Pokémon cloned by the trusted disciples for Mewtwo, and those below them will be judged by their efforts and contributions.

The best is Squirtle, the next best are Nidorino and Nidoran, and the rest are Mankey.

Ash gets angry when Mankey is mentioned. Other Pokémon are angry because their homes are destroyed, but Mankey is angry because they take advantage of the chaos.

Ash was speechless. They came all the way from other forests just to steal the citizens' fruit.

Without much negotiation with the monkey monsters, they were all subdued directly.

Fighting-type Pokémon are rare in the Kanto region, but Mankey is quite common now.

Of course, a Fighting Gym needs a lot of Fighting Pokémon, and the arrival of these Pokémon is a great gift for Ash.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved the achievement "My Troops": More than 500 troops have a loyalty level of 60 or higher]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +500; Free Attribute Points +3; Orator Level 4 → Level 5 (Should I add a mustache?)]

After this, Kojiro's loyalty is 82, Meowth's is 81, Jessie's is 80, while the three Eevee brothers are all at 75.

Xiao Zhi's personally accepted disciples, the "Ten Vajras," are all around 70 years old.

The 500 henchmen in the gym all have a salary of around 65, since they haven't been with Ash for very long.

The rest of the people were all employees, not even core members, so loyalty was irrelevant to them.

"Their power is just beginning to be established!"

After a year of development, the Dark City's boundaries have now expanded to include the former Evolution Town and Secondary Male Town, increasing its area by half.

The streets that were once lined with wooden houses have been replaced by brick and tile buildings, but the Philosopher's Hall remains the tallest building here.

Looking down at the entire city from the balcony of the gym's upper floor, Ash couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and ambition.

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

Just as Ash was taking action to clean up Dark City, Rika, who had traveled a long way to provide support, finally arrived.

She spent a day exploring the city before arriving at the Philosopher's Dojo.

Ash has already resolved the Pokémon invasion of the city, but it's definitely not a good idea to just let them go back like that.

So they arranged for Rika to stay at the Dark Gym temporarily to provide her with accommodations.

"The Dark City is still under development and cannot compare to Rainbow City. Please don't mind the simple reception, Master Lijia."

"Why would I mind? I think the Dark Market has great potential."

Still wearing her specially made kimono, Rika walked past Satoshi with a playful expression on her face.

"Right, Ash?"

"Gym Leader Rika is joking. Who is Ash? I don't know him."

Despite having his identity exposed, Xiao Zhi remained calm and composed.

“It’s just the two of us here, are you still pretending with me?” Rika took out the photos that were attached to the letters that Satoshi usually sent her.

"With that face and those muscles, I know better than you how many moles are on your abs."

It seems that Rika has been looking at the muscle photos I usually send her carefully.

"Although Hualan Manufacturing's identity is very legitimate, don't forget that I often do this kind of thing too."

Rika got up from her seat and sat directly in Ash's lap.

It was fine when we were looking at it through a phone screen, but now that Rika has seen Ash's perfect body up close, she can't help but feel the urge to lick it.

This woman is a pervert.

Feeling the soft touch and the unique fragrance emanating from Rika, Ash's mind went slightly unsettled, but he quickly regained his composure thanks to his strong will.

"What do you think would happen if I reported you to the League Central Committee for forging your identity, stealing the position of Gym Leader, and having treasonous tendencies?"

"This isn't a good idea, Sister Lijia."

He reached out and pulled Rika closer to his broad chest; if she really did that, it would definitely cause Satoshi a lot of trouble.

Left with no other choice, Xiao Zhi had to resort to using his good looks.

"We love each other so much, I believe you wouldn't hurt me."

"I can let you go, but you have to promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

"Let's get married."

Almost thinking he had misheard, Xiao Zhi quickly looked down at Rika in his arms. Her big, blinking eyes seemed to hold no hint of a joke.

"Actually, I have a girlfriend."

"I know about Misty in Cerulean and Sabrina in Golden. I think Mr. Ash is becoming more and more like someone who wants to rebel, targeting the girls in the gym."

Rika pinched Ash's nose with her little hand and continued.

"I don't care if Xiaozhi has other women, I just want Yalang to marry me."

Although Rika does like Ash very much, she values ​​the development of her own family even more.

The reason she wanted to marry Ash was because his abilities matched Rika's requirements for her future partner.

Furthermore, considering Ash's Dark City, Philosopher's Gym, Red Group, and his ability to win the League Championship, she has high hopes for his future.

"After marriage, the Philosophy Gym will receive comprehensive assistance from Celadon City, and there is only one condition: that the children born there will belong to the Celadon family."
