Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

Chapter 148 The Childcare Worker, the Runaway Hunter J

"Oh, you're a Pokémon conservationist, and this Riolu is royalty!" Dawn replied in surprise.

In the forest, after encountering Riolu, the three of them then met Souichi, the chief Pokémon conservationist.

After a brief introduction and explanation, I learned that this Riolu was a creature with royal blood.

Its innate aura is incredibly powerful, enabling it to use the Aura Sphere, which could only be unleashed during Lucario's era.

Creation One's mission is to bring Riolu back to its homeland and take on the responsibility of protecting its kingdom.

“That’s right~” Chuang nodded, then squatted down in front of the wary Riolu and took out a Riolu-shaped wooden carving. “This looks like yours!”

"Ooo~"

Riolu nodded excitedly, his wariness vanished, and he held the wooden carving in his hand as if it were a precious treasure.

"Great~"

Dawn was happy that Riolu got back what was important to him, and Ash and Brock felt the same way.

But the next second Ash frowned slightly, because he sensed a strange aura rapidly approaching.

Boom boom boom~

Within seconds, accompanied by several loud bangs, two huge armored vehicles emerged from the bushes.

Following closely behind were five middle-aged men dressed as elf hunters.

"Riolus, I've finally found you!"

The five people simultaneously threw out Poké Balls, and their Crobats, all in their final evolved forms, flapped their wings in unison in mid-air.

These Crobats flapped their "X"-shaped wings, their sharp teeth gleaming purple, and charged straight at Riolu's location.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

Accompanied by crackling golden electricity, the Crobats were hit squarely. Due to the type advantage and the difference in strength, the Crobats that were struck immediately fell to the ground.

"..."

This scene made Souichi, who was about to use the Hunting Cauldron to help, silently put his hands away and quietly watch Ash's battle.

"You wretched brat!"

The leader cursed angrily and prepared to send out the sprites again with his teammates.

"Pikachu, Quick Attack!"

However, Ash noticed this in advance and quickly issued a command.

Pikachu instantly transformed into a yellow lightning bolt, striking one after another the men's vulnerable areas, just like last time.

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

……

With screams of agony, the middle-aged men instantly collapsed to the ground.

"Um, Ash... you really know how to deal with bad guys!"

Such a chilling scene left even the most dedicated conservationists speechless, prompting them to praise Ash and Pikachu's efficiency.

Pickup truck!!

Ignoring the embarrassed expressions on Ash's and his friends' faces, Pikachu patted its chest proudly, indicating that it was all its doing.

"Ahem, let's find somewhere else to stay!" Ash replied with a serious expression, looking at the proud Pikachu.

This is not only to divert attention, but also for the safety of this forest.

He knew that Hunter J was on his way, and if he stayed in the forest any longer...

He believed that in order to force Riolu out, the other side would definitely choose to set the forest on fire.

"Good~"

Ash, Ash, and their companions led Riolu on a wild run towards the grasslands outside the forest, moving to an area with a relatively open view.

We're going to take Riolu by water to another area.

Although Ash believes that with his own strength, there is no need for a big fuss.

But this seemed to be a plan between Soichi and the conservationists, and he couldn't say it directly, so he could only follow along.

However, on the way, Soichi received a call from another childcare worker, Hinata.

She was currently chasing down the organization that had taken Riolu with Officer Jenny, and then she would head towards Souichi's location. Riolu's safety was left to Souichi and Ash's responsibility.

"Wow, I didn't know you knew other conservationists, Ash!"

Hikaru didn't think much of the beautiful nursery girl and simply spoke with admiration.

This profession is quite unique in the Pokémon world, as it involves dedicating one's youth to rescuing Pokémon.

"Miss Hinata, Brock and I met in Hoenn!" Ash explained, recalling his past memories.

It was thanks to the unique ability to hunt gliders that it rescued Celebi, who was stuck on the bike path, and there was even a Deoxys behind it.

But Xiao Zhi didn't explain these things in detail, because now was not the time to talk about them.

"Ah, beautiful Hinata-san, I really want to be captured by her!"

However, there are always exceptions, such as Xiaogang, who is already immersed in the past when he met Hinata.

"Idiot, don't be a fangirl at a time like this!" Xiao Guang covered his face and couldn't help but complain.

Ash's actions were even more direct; he quietly pulled Dawn and Brock apart.

It was because Xiao Gang's behavior was so embarrassing, and there was a caregiver watching!

Upon seeing Xiao Gang's expression, Chuang couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

However, his strong professional ethics told him that now was not the time to worry about this issue; the most important thing was to wait for Riolu to move to a different location.

Suddenly, a huge figure flew over them, its pair of blood-red wings slowly descending and finally stopping in front of them.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be J, a silver-haired hunter wearing sunglasses, who was glaring at Ash and Pikachu with gritted teeth.

"It's you again, you wretched brat!"

Every time she encounters Ash, her Hunter J's success rate in completing the mission drops by 80%.

Last time, they even lost veterans Alidos and Dragon Scorpion.

"Come out, Aerodactyl, Steelix!"

Ash didn't bother with any nonsense and released two large creatures, preparing to use force to drive the opponent away.

With the prey right in front of him, Hunter J certainly wouldn't let Riolu go, and a fight was inevitable.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing the nearly ten-meter-long steel serpent and the ancient overlord fossil pterosaur, Hunter J couldn't help but frown.

She had seen a pterosaur before, so its appearance was still somewhat expected.

However, the existence of Steelix was a major headache for her.

Because she filled the gaps in the team after losing Ariados and Dragon Scorpion, but her only attribute is poison.

These are Toxicroak and Tank Skunk, respectively. They are at a complete disadvantage against the massive Steelix, and their chances of winning instantly drop to only 10%.

Moreover, the opponent's Pikachu is eyeing them covetously, I'm afraid...

"Salamander, let's go!"

To the slightly bewildered looks of Ash, his two friends, and Souichi, Hunter J actually fled without a fight.

"Is Ash really that good?" Souichi looked at Ash to confirm.

"That's right, Ash easily defeated Hunter J twice!" Dawn shouted, raising his neck as he explained the past to Soichi.

But Ash wasn't in the mood to listen anymore, and regretfully recalled his Aerodactyl, which had turned into a lackey, and his honest Steelix.

With an expression of utter disappointment, he looked at Hunter J, who had disappeared into the horizon.

Chapter 149 The Cowardly Scorpio with a Fear of Heights

(I originally wanted to catch Riolu, but after thinking about it, I decided to give the spot to Shiny Metagross. As for Ash's Riolu, I'll deal with that later.)

After Pokémon Hunter J escaped, believing that the enemy had been driven away, and with Ash's formidable strength, Souichi and Riolu were no longer as tense as they had been at the beginning.

He told Hinata and Officer Jenny about his location so they could meet up ahead of time.

During this time, an SUV arrived, and a group of people got out and kidnapped Riolu, intending to forcibly take Riolu away.

The opponent's strength is extraordinary; their Pokémon include Golem, Rhydon, and even Tyranitar and Aggron.

But none of this posed a problem for Ash. He sent out Aerodactyl, Steelix, Bulbasaur, and Bay Leaf, and successfully defeated the group.
