Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

The car wasn't there at first, but it appeared after Saint-Anne landed, and it only stayed there during the day.

Jasmine had wanted to wait for the sunrise at Kuye Harbor in advance, but she found that the car was not parked at the harbor!

So, that must be the vehicle used to transport Pokémon!

Chapter Fifty-Two: Night Operation!

Night falls again. The city of Kurenai appears calm on the surface, but undercurrents are already surging beneath!

Ash has to give Gengar thirty-two thumbs up. Gengar, who has been hiding in Sakuragi Lab for many years, is quite adept at infiltrating secrets.

It not only used its inspection scope to capture evidence of the hiding place beneath the construction site, but also later infiltrated the Saint Anne and obtained intelligence there as well.

With this crucial evidence, Officer Jenny of Kurenai City had no more doubts. She immediately activated her family's online reporting network and Interpol, secretly requesting a special operation to be launched in Kurenai City!

And the Alliance's response to such an extremely special event is naturally top-notch.

That evening, a large number of elite detectives arrived in Kureha City in batches. With the local police force completely unaware, they dispersed to Kureha Port and the vicinity of the construction site hideout to gather and wait for orders!

However, Ash and his friends were initially excluded from the operation.

Unlike the sudden incident at Mount Tsukimi, Satoshi, who is now just a 'good citizen,' should retire after submitting the evidence.

Officer Jenny also specifically assured Ash that she had secured additional powerful support to ensure the safety of all Pokémon on San Anne.

"Then at least let me participate in the other operation. I can sneak into the hiding place from underground and maybe rescue those Pokémon ahead of time!"

"Well... that's fine, but you must be careful."

After several requests, Officer Jenny finally changed her mind and agreed to let Ash participate.

Even without considering the power behind Ash, he has already demonstrated sufficient ability in this incident. With a trainer like him assisting, the results will naturally be twice as effective.

"Brock, you can stay at the Pokémon Center tonight," Ash told his companion before they left. "A lot of Pokémon will probably be delivered tonight, and Nurse Joy will be very busy."

"Don't worry, I will definitely become Miss Joy's guardian angel! Of course, if Miss Officer Jenny also needs protection, I will naturally be there to help too."

"Oh dear, Xiao Gang is really persistent when it comes to older women." Xiao Lan rolled her eyes at him with a smile. "Is this what they call birds of a feather flocking together?"

One likes to confess to older women, while the other likes to flirt with cute girls... A perfect match!

"Well, I'm off too." After a few laughs, Blue also suggested leaving the Pokémon Center.

"Where is she going?" Xiao Gang asked, puzzled.

"Vermilion Gym." Ash was well aware of Blue's plan.

The evidence at this stage does not directly point to Mascherano, so Xiao Lan will definitely be keeping an eye on him tonight.

Hopefully, everyone can gain something from this...

The police special operation finally began. A large number of police officers were dispatched simultaneously after receiving the order, and surrounded the Saint Anne and the construction site in the northeast corner of the city as quickly as possible!

Meanwhile, Ash, taking advantage of the police knocking on the door in front of the construction site, sneaked to the back of the site under the cover of the forest.

boom!

A burst of flames erupted in the center of the construction site—a signal for the police to launch an attack!

A pack of Growlithes took the lead, barking and pouncing on the enemy while immediately launching a thorough search for the entrance to the hiding place;

Fully armed detectives followed closely behind, driving straight in amidst the noise and commotion!

"It's time for us to move too, Onix, dig a hole!"

"Whoosh!" The giant onix, now in his hand, slammed into the ground, easily creating an entrance that resembled an underground tunnel!

With a series of roars, Onix moved through the ground at an extremely fast speed, while Ash clung to its back, constantly using Aura to guide its direction.

Gengar has already infiltrated the area. By following its aura, Ash can easily find the Pokémon that are locked up!

Boom!

The enormous snake head smashed through the soil again, revealing a wide underground corridor.

"Geng~" A ghostly figure flashed out from the darkness by the wall, gave Ash some directions, and then flew forward alone.

"Onix, follow us, we're going to help!"

Ash immediately urged Onix to speed up and catch up, while chaos had already broken out at the corner ahead!

"What is this thing?", "Why is there a Gengar?", "Get out of here!"

"Everyone, come together!"

Seeing that Gengar had already engaged in combat with its opponent, Ash threw out all of his Poké Balls!

In an instant, flying stones, lightning bolts, and raging flames all hurtled towards the group of soldiers in front!

"Geng?" This display completely stunned Gengar. It was really curious where this kid had pulled out so many Pokémon.

It was almost injured by a minion Pokémon, but at least four attacks came to its rescue at the same time.

"Watch out for what's around you, Gengar!" Ash smiled and gave Gengar a thumbs up before continuing to deal with the enemies blocking his way.

With all ten Pokémon at his disposal, and the enemy's main force mostly drawn to the front by the police, the remaining minions were no match for his advance!

Ash quickly defeated all the enemies blocking his way and found the location where they were holding wild Pokémon.

"It's alright, we'll let you out right away!"

After gathering the imprisoned Pokémon together, Ash used the power of Viridian to calm them down before directing Pikachu and the others to cut through the iron cage.

"Orochi, clear the way!"

boom!

It was another spacious tunnel, and this time Onix acted as a train, using its massive body to escort the Pokémon as they climbed upwards.

"Great! This is a great victory! Gengar..." Ash happily raised his fist at Gengar, but the latter ignored him and disappeared into the shadows.

"Is this guy still hung up on something...?" Ash shook his head helplessly, deciding to stop worrying about Gengar for the time being.

Following the path opened up by the giant onix, we went up to the outside, where the police operation had already ended.

"Ash, thank you for your help. All the Pokémon have been rescued." The smart and capable policewoman immediately came forward.

"What's the situation on the other side?" Xiao Zhi asked with concern. "And the person responsible for driving the transport, have they been apprehended?"

“Well, no…” Officer Jenny shook her head helplessly. “Although we set up roadblocks, it seems that the other party received the news in advance and abandoned their car and jumped into the sea at the last minute… You are right to worry, the police force has indeed been infiltrated.”

That's truly a pity.

Ash also felt it was a pity. If they could catch the person driving the car, they might be able to catch the big fish in Vermilion City Gym.

"Furthermore, the battle at Kuye Harbor is over," Officer Jenny continued, "and even a little faster than ours."

"How is that possible?" Xiao Zhi was taken aback.

He felt he had acted quickly enough, and the enemies at the hiding place were definitely easier to deal with than those on the St. Anne, so why were they ahead of him?

This question was only answered when Ash was taken to Vermilion Harbor by Officer Jenny.

The port walls are being demolished, revealing a frozen sea and cruise ships that look like ice sculptures!

“As I said before… there’s special support this time,” Officer Jenny explained with a smile.

"Special support... Could it be?!" Ash suddenly understood.

Within the Kanto Alliance, only that one person could freeze the sea and cruise ships so easily…

Chapter 53: Let's take a look at the behavior of the sons of officials~ (3000+ words)

"The Saint Anne... was actually taken down by the Alliance?!"

Inside the dark, secret base, the final boss's face was ashen.

Recalling the sudden bad news, he unconsciously increased the pressure of his grip... making the cat next to him grimac in pain.

Previously at Mt. Tsukimi, Ash thwarted Team Rocket's plans, but Giovanni, considering the need to bide his time, didn't intend to stoop to the level of a child.

But less than two months later, that kid actually unleashed another big move in Kuye City!

Giovanni wasn't too bothered by the ship full of wild Pokémon or the party plan that was aborted before it could even be carried out... but the direct loss of the St. Anne's cash cow and the near exposure of the Vermilion City Gym were things that really upset him.

"Boss... what should we do next?"

The confidential secretary, sporting a watermelon-shaped haircut, asked cautiously, afraid her boss might blurt out something at any moment…

I'm really angry right now.

Of course, it's also possible that she secretly hoped for it...

"Tell Lt. Surge that I'll clean up the mess at St. Anne's, and tell him to find that henchman who jumped into the sea as soon as possible. Under no circumstances can he be exposed!" the Boss ordered grimly. "And those two good-for-nothings, weren't they supposed to be tracking Pikachu? Why didn't they report the kid's whereabouts beforehand?"

“They lost track of him halfway through,” the female secretary said with a look of disdain. “According to Musashi and Kojiro’s report, after they ‘defeated’ Ash in Pallet Town, he ‘escaped’ directly overseas in a Dragonite. They tried to chase him at sea, but failed.”

"What did you say?" In an instant, Sakaki's mind raced. "Go and confirm for me the exact location where those two good-for-nothings last contacted that kid. Give me the most precise coordinates!"

Dragonite, overseas... you can't be wrong!

That kid must have found Dragonite Island, the legendary island where pseudo-legendary characters live!

"Hmph, you lost a whole ship full of my Pokémon, so I'll make up for it with a bunch of legendary Pokémon!"
