Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 467 Xiao Zhi: This kind of stupid older brother deserves to be taught a lesson!
"Satoshi? Why are you wearing a Team Rocket outfit?!"

Red stared in disbelief at Ash, who was wearing a jacket with the Team Rocket letter 'R' engraved on it, and asked in a trembling voice.

How can this be? ! !

Ash's face was reflected in his bright red pupils. He couldn't believe it—Ash, his own brother, had become a member of Team Rocket?!

How could this be?
Chi Hong felt almost dizzy; how could this be?

Hibiki, who was following behind Red, was also looking at Ash in utter shock.

"Brother Chi...you...I..."

Ash was extremely embarrassed at this moment. He hadn't expected to run into Red here by such a coincidence.

Although it was inevitable that Ash would encounter Red on the battlefield once he joined the fight, he still felt very awkward when they actually met.

Karuno, Mikuri, and Shinji all keenly sensed a subtle atmosphere.

After all, Red and Ash look quite similar, and judging from Red's questioning...

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

"why?"

After a long pause, Crimson finally spoke again, slowly lowering the brim of his hat. The shadow of the brim covered his crimson eyes, and his slightly hoarse voice came through.

Only then did he understand why Xiao Zhi hadn't shown up for the past few days.

Moreover, when asked before, why did he answer that he would participate in the war?

It turns out Ash joined Team Rocket!
Participating in the war? Yes, they did participate, but they participated representing the Rockets.

"Why did you join Team Rocket?" Red asked again in a deep voice.

"Brother Chi, Team Rocket is not an evil organization now."

Xiao Zhi took a deep breath; he knew he couldn't escape.

Forcing himself to calm down, Xiaozhi turned around and looked directly at his older brother, responding to him earnestly.

What makes you so sure?

Red stared directly into Ash's eyes.

"I only confirmed this because I joined Team Rocket!" Ash said without hesitation.

"Having experienced life with the Rockets firsthand, I am absolutely certain that the Rockets are a righteous organization!"

"Mammonta was also a person who truly revered truth, goodness, and beauty!"

Ash replied to Red in a deep voice.

"We went through the Saint-Tianu together, Zhi!"

Red couldn't understand why Ash had become like this.

They had witnessed the evil deeds of Team Rocket together and fought against them side by side.

"Yes, but that was the old Team Rocket!" Ash responded directly.

"Brother Chi, the Rockets have changed. You can't look at the new Rockets with the same old perspective. That's pure prejudice!"

"Team Rocket is currently led by Mammon, and we are all moving forward under Mammon's policies. We are always helping others, protecting the environment, and helping Pokémon!"

Xiao Zhi's voice was very deep.

“Prejudice…?” Crimson fell silent, her pupils trembling slightly.

He never imagined that one day he would be refuted by his own younger brother in such a way.

"And what about this battle? What is this battle?" Crimson asked in an even deeper voice.

"Is the alliance wrong too, Zhi?"

The Pokémon League, the maintainers of world order.

"Is the League always right?" Ash asked without hesitation.

"Zhi, do you know what you're saying?"

Red stared at Ash in shock, his eyes looking as if he were seeing his younger brother, whom he had grown up with, for the first time.

"Red Brother, I've always admired you so much!" Ash's eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

"I have always regarded you as my idol and the goal I strive for, because you have always been so perfect, Chi-ge."

"But, Chi-ge, have you ever thought about this? If the league is really completely right, then why does the Rockets even exist?"

Upon hearing Ash's question, Red fell silent once again.

"The former Team Rocket was despicable, greedy, and evil. They would stop at nothing to achieve their goals, stealing Pokémon without regard for others' wishes and using Pokémon as tools."

"But... the league has always been looking for the Rockets. It's because of the league that the Rockets have been contained."

Ah-Xiang spoke up weakly, because the situation was too unexpected, and the debate between the brothers, Red and Ash, was too intense.

He only managed to interject at this point, and he didn't dare to raise his voice.

"Yes, but why can we only suppress it? Is it because the League doesn't want to?" Ash looked at Hibiki.

That unprecedentedly sharp gaze made Ah Xiang take a step back. Xiao Zhi is so damn fierce now!
It wasn't the literal meaning of "evil," but rather a kind of "evil" that Ah Xiang couldn't describe in words.

And would Ash really say something like that?
Ah Xiang truly felt a sense of estrangement; the Xiao Zhi he knew... didn't seem to be like this at all.

"No matter the reason, the League just can't eradicate Team Rocket, or these scourges in the Kanto region. That's the reality I see!" Ash said firmly.

"But Mammon did it!"

"Mammon changed the Rockets, he solved it all at its root, he eradicated these cancers and turned them into something positive."

"Not only in Kanto, but also in Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos... Team Rocket has eliminated evil organizations in all regions and gathered so many like-minded partners to protect this world together!"

"Brother Chi, that's why I'm standing here!"

Ash's righteous words made Red purse his lips tightly, his gaze towards Ash filled with complex emotions.

"That's just an appearance." At this moment, Mikuri spoke up, looking at Ash seriously.

"Young man! You've been blinded by Mammon's current actions. You only see the present good things, but is that really Mammon's goal?"

"You yourself said that the Rockets have now covered almost all areas, and their influence has expanded to an extremely exaggerated extent. This is exactly what he wants!"

"Mammon is an ambitious and deceptive man. Young men, you have all been deceived by him!"

Michael gritted his teeth, heartbroken, but his expression remained completely devoid of personal emotion.

Okay, Mikkel admitted that there was indeed a little bit of personal grudge.

But Michael was certain that he was a victim of Mammon himself!
With Mammon's wicked personality, how could he possibly be the kind of person who works hard for the well-being and happiness of the people? Ash frowned as he looked at Wallace, but Shinji was anything but polite.

"Heh~ Pure Kuroko."

Shinji glanced at Michael, gave a cold laugh, and replied expressionlessly.

"Huh? What did you say?" Teacher Da Mi exclaimed.

"I am Michael, and you call me a hater?"

"Isn't that so?" Shinji said calmly. "Do I need to remind you? Master Mikuri, spreading rumors without any evidence is a violation of the League's laws."

"Since you dared to smear Boss Mammon, you must have been mentally prepared for this, right?"

"Alright, alright! You little rascal!"

Mikoli laughed in exasperation, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to have a real-life showdown with this expressionless guy.

"Ash, the League is the key to stabilizing this world. Quit Team Rocket."

Red sighed deeply, lowered his hat brim slightly, and said to Ash in a deep voice.

Although Ash's words did shake Red's conviction, he still believed that Team Rocket... was still untrustworthy.

Perhaps it was because of the initial impression, but Crimson did not deny this.

He didn't know whether the Rockets were truly a righteous organization, but he did know that the League was the stabilizer of the world, and it was because of the League that we have the peace and order we have today.

Therefore, his current stance remains that of the alliance.

"Red, why are you so stubborn?" Ash looked at Red with disappointment in his eyes.

“Paranoia…is that how you see me now, Zhi…”

Red couldn't understand what kind of spell Mammon had cast on his younger brother, Ash, since Ash had always been very obedient.

Even in crimson, his chest heaved with emotion, and his voice grew increasingly low.

"Zhi, have I been too lenient with you before? Or are you just going through a rebellious phase?"

The Poké Ball in Red's hand enlarged, and her red eyes stared intently at Ash.

"I'll say it one last time, Zhi, either you quit Team Rocket, or you leave Goldenrod City now and don't get involved in this incident."

Red has always been a quiet and reserved person, but he is a completely different person when he is with Ash.

Because he is the older brother, and Ash is his younger brother.

As the older brother, he has a responsibility to take care of his younger brother in place of his mother.

"I'm an adult now, Chi-ge. I have my own will and choices!"

Ash's stubbornness kicked in.

Anyone familiar with Ash knows that sometimes Ash has a very straightforward temper, the kind that can't be swayed by even a bull.

"..."

Crimson fell silent.

He didn't say anything, but silently opened the Poké Ball in his hand.

A powerful Charizard landed heavily in front of Crimson, along with a Pikachu.

Crimson continued moving, raising her left hand and pressing it against the wristband of her right hand, causing the keystone to flash.

mega evolution!

With Charizard's majestic roar, the light of evolution flashed by, and the black and blue Charizard X made its grand entrance.

A deep, intense pressure permeated the air as Charizard X's majestic dragon eyes gazed upon Ash and his companion, Ash-Pixie, standing before him.

The red-skinned man stood up, tilted his head and looked at Zhipi with a puzzled expression, then glanced at his trainer.

Sensing the suppressed and heavy mood of the crimson, the red-skinned man silently shut his mouth, gave the wise man an apologetic look, and assumed a fighting stance.

Although it didn't know why its trainer was so angry, it was a red Pokémon, and since its trainer had decided to fight, it only needed to obey its trainer.

"Koga Ninja!"

Ash wasn't going to be outdone, so he threw out his Poké Ball.

Greninja landed gracefully in front of Ash, slowly straightened up, crossed its arms, and stared at Charizard X with a cold gaze.

"Um... we can talk things out calmly, there's no need to be so serious, right?"

Ah Xiang chuckled and tried to smooth things over.

"Red Bro, don't be so serious. And Ash, you can just apologize."

"I did nothing wrong! Why should I admit my mistake?"

Xiao Zhi retorted to A Xiang without hesitation.

"The Rockets are right! It's just that Akagi himself refuses to admit his stubbornness and is still looking at the Rockets with outdated perspectives."

"This foolish older brother deserves a severe lesson!"

Hearing Xiaozhi's outburst, A Xiang was completely stunned. He didn't even try to smooth things over and silently took a few steps back.

He felt that things were really too difficult for him.

"...Do you want me to be taught a lesson...?"

Crimson remained silent, lowering the brim of his hat once more, the shadow of which completely obscured his crimson pupils.

"I see, my foolish brother."

The crimson voice wasn't loud, but it was devoid of any emotion.

"If you can do it, give it a try."

Crimson was now completely certain that her younger brother had entered his rebellious phase.

We really need to use force to wake him up.

The crimson pupils under the shadow of the hat brim gradually faded, causing Xiao Zhi's hair to stand on end involuntarily.

Xiao Zhi swallowed hard, but still remained stubborn.

"I'm not afraid of you! Shinji! Give me a hand!"

"Let's take him down together!"
