Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

"It's over, meow..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gengar hurled the enormous dark purple energy ball in his hand!

A dark arc streaked across the sky.

The Shadow Ball hit both Eidolon and the Team Rocket trio!

A huge explosion rang out, sending all five of them flying!

"This feeling is awful!!"

And so, the Rockets became stars in the sky...

Xiaochun muttered to herself, sounding somewhat exasperated.

"Are these three guys as abnormally healthy as Ash...? That annoying Goh got knocked out once and ended up in the hospital, how come they're perfectly fine?"

……

[Yu Longdu: Hahaha, we've settled in Bengbu! Xiao Chun always manages to pinpoint the problem so accurately!]

[Professor Sakuragi: You're right, my Haru has always had a keen eye for observation!]

[Michael: This child's meticulous nature is indeed well-suited for the Grandeur Contest. I should let him train him; he'll be a rising star in the future!]

[Professor Sakuragi: Um, I'll have to ask Haru's opinion on that. Eat.]

[Herona: Let's talk about this after the review is over. Speaking of which, the Rockets really did deliver another assist!]

[Dalmatian: Yes, fighting alongside Gengar this time has probably greatly increased Gengar's affection for me!]

[Genji: Hmm, Team Rocket trio, they're really good people! If only Team Magma and Team Aqua could be this easy to manage.]

Team Aqua and Team Magma are furious!

Those three are the outliers in the villainous organization, okay?

Whose villainous organization always manages to turn bad things into good things?

Only those three possess this unique skill!

Sakaki, who was at the Rockets headquarters, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Are these three guys... really not suited to be villains?

Chapter 178: Capturing Gengar! Gengar's Revenge Battle! Rampage!

Why not do the opposite and let them try doing good deeds and accumulating merit?

Perhaps if we reverse the situation, we can turn a good thing into a bad thing!

Sakaki's perspective on things began to become refreshingly unconventional...

……

In the video—

After Gengar knocked Team Rocket away, it turned its back to Ash and remained silent.

He doesn't know what to say right now.

Ash approached Gengar and half-squatted in front of him.

"Gengar, have you calmed down yet?"

“ginga”.

Gengar, clutching the sales pitch, averted its eyes, avoiding eye contact with Ash.

"I know, Gengar, you must be very disappointed in humans after that guy hurt you, right?"

"Why don't you come with me?"

Gengar was taken aback, but involuntarily found himself agreeing with Ash's idea.

"You may not trust humanity at all right now, and you may not even trust me!"

"But... it's okay if you don't believe me now, I believe you!"

"You're not some cursed spirit! Nor are you a spirit that's useless in battle!"

"You are... an incredibly powerful Ghost-type Pokémon, Gengar!!"

"So...become my partner!"

“ginga…”

Gengar finally turned its eyes to Ash, looking into his sincere gaze.

Finally, Gengar closed its eyes, gently nodded its body, and agreed!

"Haha, please take good care of me from now on, Gengar!"

Ash took out a Poké Ball and gently tapped it on Gengar's body. Gengar then turned into a red light and entered the Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball didn't struggle at all and made a crisp sound!

This implies that Ash has captured Gengar!

……

[Lance: See! I told you so! Team Rocket really did come to Ash's aid!]

[Dalmatian: Team Rocket's trio are truly formidable! Even Lance's jinx couldn't affect them!]

[Kona: Now that you mention it, it really is true! This is simply the greatest miracle in the world!]

[Dragon Crossing: ...]

A woman's mouth is like three thousand ducks; Ah Du, verified by his real name, can't win an argument! He really can't win!

……

The Rockets trio, who were already packing up, were inexplicably happy to see this.

"Even the Four Heavenly Kings say we're amazing, meow!"

"But... I just feel like this strength isn't necessarily a good thing!"

"Who cares! As long as we're strong, that's all that matters! Now we're certified as strong too!"

Musashi said with great enthusiasm.

For her, it didn't matter what they meant; as long as it was a compliment, she was happy to accept it!

……

In the video—

The afternoon after Ash caught Gengar, Professor Oak delivered the locator.

On the locator, there are quite a few trainers in Vermilion City with a ranking of around 383.

They transformed into dots of light on the locator.

Ash can learn a trainer's name and appearance simply by touching the light spot.

For Ash, it didn't really matter who he fought.

But now... he has a fixed goal!

A picture appeared on Xiaozhi's locator, and it was... the blond guy he met this morning!

Although Ash's current ranking is outside the top 10,000, it's not that much more than a thousand places behind the blond guy!

So... it's worth the challenge!

"Nine thousand five hundred and thirty-five, Huang Ze..."

……

[Karuno: Tsk tsk, this guy named Huang Ze is going to be in trouble~]

[Kikuko: All I can say is, Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable!]

[Kona: Tsk tsk, finally made it to 9,500th place, and then she runs into a champion-level opponent. That guy's probably crying his eyes out!]

[Yishu: Hurry up, I want to see a stomp game!]

The numerous champions showed absolutely no sorrow for Huang Ze.

Instead, they were quite gloating.

This guy probably has no idea what kind of being he's messed with!

That's... the youngest champion in history! Ash Ketchum!

……

In the video—

Ash, along with Gengar and Haru, found the blond guy strolling on the street.

Now, Huang Mao has regained his high spirits, as if he wasn't the one who was scared out of his wits this morning.
