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

Chapter 412 The Giant Sphere in the Mysterious Space

"It's alright, as long as I'm here, it won't be a burden."

"And how can we just stand by and watch them chase you like this without doing anything?"

Those armored vehicles made their way in, supported by the trees in the forest. Judging from their behavior of completely ignoring the safety of the Pokémon around them, they didn't seem like good people. Ash naturally couldn't remain indifferent.

However, Ash was currently in a state of maximum charm.

When he took her hand like that, Michelle was immediately melted by the warmth that rushed towards her.

[Ding! Michelle: Affection +10]

"So handsome—" Michelle said softly, her face flushed.

At this moment, Ash's Pokémon, who were keeping watch nearby, all gathered around, giving this cool and capable young lady a sense of security.

Seeing this, Michelle finally revealed the truth.

"Actually, these sunglasses of mine are a portable supercomputer that has collected a huge amount of data and recorded tens of thousands of battles."

"It not only provides real-time analysis but also directly assists in combat; it's my brainchild invention."

Similar to the computer of that purple-haired Shingo from back then, but the sunglasses are much more powerful, and you only need to wear them on your face, which is so much more convenient.

As she spoke, Michelle demonstrated the glasses' capabilities. She casually turned her head to look into the distance, and the computer inside the sunglasses completed its analysis in just two seconds.

"The wind speed is currently 80, the motion coefficient of those armored vehicles is 20, and the thermal imaging shows 20 people inside. They are expected to arrive here in about 3 minutes."

"That's amazing."

It was exactly as Ash predicted! "How can it be so accurate from such a distance?"

Ash Ketchum was able to achieve this analytical ability only with his incredible aura power; it is indeed something that is extremely powerful for ordinary people.

Despite being praised, Michelle wasn't happy at the moment and said resentfully.

"Originally, I planned to use the sunglasses to officially begin my trainer journey with my baby dragon."

"But I didn't expect that not long after I came out, I was targeted by a group of robbers."

"They not only wanted to steal my sunglasses, but they also planned to steal my precious dragon!"

"This style of doing things sounds so familiar. Is that Team Rocket?" Ash immediately thought.

But Michelle shook her head.

"Ah, no."

"They are a Pokémon poaching gang. I heard that their headquarters are located in the Sinnoh region, and the leader's name is unknown, only his code name is Pokémon Hunter J."

"Sinnoh, Pokémon Hunter J————"

After using the power of aura to confirm that Michelle wasn't lying, Ash began to think.

This was the third time he had heard of this region. "It seems there are a lot of Devil Triggers in the Sinnoh region."

Thinking of this, he led his righteous henchmen to block the road.

"Alright, then we'll take care of them!"

"We have to be careful. J's poaching gang is very powerful. Before, Baby Dragon and I were no match for them and could only run away."

.

"And I've heard that they also have a rather mysterious technology, which allowed them to rise rapidly in the Sinnoh region in a short period of time."

"Don't worry, beautiful lady, no one knows better than me how to love Pokémon poachers!" Ash said with a knowing look.

Poachers were nothing to Ash Ketchum, a complete rookie.

At that moment, the mission notification sounded in his mind. It was an ordinary mission to defeat the poaching gang, with the difficulty and rewards being just like a routine daily task.

Ash casually put the task out of his mind and took the lead.

The other three followed suit immediately. Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng were quite calm and composed, but Michelle, who had just joined, was still a little worried.

"Is it really okay not to run now?"

Ash quickly demonstrated his ability to put her at ease.

He effortlessly lifted a boulder as large as a small mountain and hurled it directly at the armored convoy.

With a loud bang, if the car at the front of the convoy hadn't braked in time, it would probably have been smashed into a pancake.

"Oh, why are they blocking the way like this!" Michelle was dumbfounded.

Even with the legendary superhuman strength to move mountains, she had never actually seen anything that could move a mountain.

But now she saw a human lift a boulder the size of a small mountain and throw it out with ease.

At this moment, the beautiful woman's worldview was greatly shaken.

However, the greater impact was felt by the people inside the armored vehicles on the other side.

"Is this a landslide?"

A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows in the lead armored vehicle immediately opened the window and stared incredulously at the boulder in front of him.

I think I vaguely saw a figure just now; it must have been my eyes playing tricks on me from driving for too long in the middle of the day.

At that moment, Ash immediately led his Pokémon to jump onto the boulders blocking the road and launched an attack on the armored vehicles.

"Pikachu Thunderbolt, Grovyle Seed Machine Gun, Breloom Seed Bomb ————"

May also called out her Pokémon to help, and even Michelle's Bangelon didn't sit idle, joining in by unleashing Flamethrower.

The dazzling barrage of skills bombarded the armored vehicles, causing a series of explosions that terrified everyone inside, who then fled the scene.

Of course, Xiao Zhi didn't kill them; he only destroyed the power systems of these armored vehicles.

Those who were forced off the bus naturally glared angrily at Xiaozhi and his group.

At that moment, the leader with thick eyebrows spotted the target they had been chasing for a long time behind Xiaozhi.

"Tsk, looks like the helper that little girl found."

"Everyone, release your Pokémon!"

Although the soldiers were equipped with weapons, they were, after all, a poaching group that had smuggled themselves into Hoenn, and the guns they carried were not of large caliber.

To deal with Pokémon, it's best to use Pokémon themselves.

At this point, Ash's team had thirteen Pokémon, and each member of their team had at least two Pokémon.

Once all resources are released, "60 to 13, the advantage is in my hands!"

A rough estimate suggests that thick eyebrows are nothing to worry about.

He even secretly mocked Michelle in his heart, thinking it was foolish that she not only didn't continue to run away but also dared to come back and fight back.

He confidently released his Pokémon.

"Go, Xeno'jiiva! Crush them with your Thunder Fangs!"

"Oh, that big cat is so cool! Is it a Pokémon from the Sinnoh region?"

This is a four-legged beast-shaped Pokémon that looks like a large black and blue lion. Ash's first reaction upon seeing it was that it looked a bit like a big cat.

"It looks like a rare Electric-type Pokémon from the Sinnoh region." Max's eyes lit up, but then he sighed.

"It's just a pity that he ended up in the hands of a villain and is forced to help him do bad things."

"Yeah, what a waste that such a majestic-looking Pokémon ended up with such an ugly trainer."

"That's a personal attack, you brat! And it's none of your business what I do with my Pokémon!"

He painstakingly snatched Xeno'jiiva from an unlucky trainer in the Sinnoh region and spent a lot of time taming it!

"Minions, launch an attack! Steal the glasses and Pokémon that our leader wants!"

"Alright, Haruka, Michelle, let's attack!"

"No problem, Ash!"

"Um!"

Soon, a chaotic battle broke out.

Then I realized something was wrong with my thick eyebrows.

How come the opponents are so strong?

Especially that kid in the baseball cap, his Pikachu could overpower 10 of their Pokémon, it's unbelievable.

"Is he one of the Four Heavenly Kings of that place?"

Even before Ash himself made a move, they were already on the verge of defeat.

"Captain, the opponent is too strong, should we retreat?"

"The matter of the glasses and Pokémon should be discussed in detail later—"

"No way, you idiots!"

By this time, all of Thick Eyebrows' confidants had become defeatist strategists and suggested running away, but he immediately rebuked them.

"You all know how terrifying the leader is. She went to great lengths to send us to the Hoenn region, just for those two things, didn't she?"

"If we go back empty-handed, she'll definitely kill us!"

His men hesitated to speak, but Thick Eyebrows was not unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

His Xeno'jiiva cat is almost killed by the relay charge of the Lobster Minions and the Armored Dragon; there's just no way to stop it.

"Damn it, what are those lobster soldiers and armored dragon shells made of? They're so damn hard!"

Not only are the Pokémon tough, but the trainers are also acting strangely.

Thick Eyebrows has seen this several times: whenever the opposing team has a weaker Pokémon, it gets surrounded and defeated by their team.

Ash's big fist will fly over, instantly turning the tide of battle, and then he will let his Pokémon defeat the opponent and take the kill.

"Is this even human?"

He swallowed hard after seeing Ash easily hammer a hairy boar into the ground.

If it weren't for his trusted confidants acting as the overseers, his formation would probably have collapsed long ago.

But while the Pokémon of Ash's companions were falling one after another, Ash and his friends hadn't suffered a single loss.

With Ash and his Pokémon at the forefront, even May was able to lead her Pokémon and happily roam among the horde of enemies, reaping experience points everywhere.

"That's amazing, Ash!"

The happiest person right now is Michelle, who had been chased to the point of desperation.

After running into the wasteland, communication was cut off, and I really felt like I was going to die.

That's why I separated from Baby Dragon some time ago and tried to attract attention myself, hoping to at least make Baby Dragon escape.

But unexpectedly, she suddenly encountered her Prince Charming who would save her in this situation.

At this moment, Michelle looked at Ash with eyes sparkling with admiration.

He remained unfazed by the siege of so many powerful enemies, fought with both skill and elegance, and spoke with a pleasant voice.

He even played the hero, coming to her rescue several times when she was about to be hit by his skills.

If it weren't for the fact that Ash already has a beauty like May by his side, Michelle would almost have fallen in love with Ash herself.

[Ding! Michelle: Affection +5]

As for Ash, he naturally didn't notice anything at all.

Because he wasn't trying to flirt with girls at all; for him, it was just a normal job of protecting his companions.

Throughout the battle, he also protected Haruka and Kacchan.

But he completely underestimated his irresistible charm to young girls when he was in his handsome state.

The allure of Level 8 certification is still too authoritative.

Despite being a cool and aloof woman, Michelle does have a thing for handsome guys like Ash.

Especially when Ash inadvertently revealed his beautiful abs, Michelle was completely captivated.

They even unconsciously moved closer to Ash.

Then she never expected that she would actually escape a disaster because of this.

Because at this point, Thick Eyebrows could no longer hold on, and all of their Pokémon had fallen.

Ash was even giving healing items to a few enemy Pokémon that were close to him, hoping to get them up and fight again.

"There's no other way!" Thick Eyebrows cried out in his heart.

The petrification gun, which had been prepared for a long time, was suddenly raised, and a beam of light swept out quickly.

This beam of light is extremely fast; if you are not prepared, it will be too late to dodge it once you see it.

Not only Ash's side, but also the poachers' own people in front of him, were all turned into stone statues along with all their Pokémon in the blink of an eye.

"Oh, baby dragon, what's wrong with you?" Michelle exclaimed immediately.

At that moment, she escaped by standing behind Ash, but the Pokémon at her feet had turned into a hard stone statue and lay motionless on the ground.

Even Xiao Zhi, who was standing in front of her, was affected and turned into a stone statue.

Given Ash's reflexes, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to anticipate the Thick Eyebrows' attack and dodge the beam of light.

But unexpectedly, Ash suddenly saw a figure that looked like an alpaca, and his actions were a step too late.

"What the hell—oh no!"

Ash never expected that even with his current super rookie physique, he wouldn't be able to resist the petrification ray once it hit him.

His body quickly became unable to move, and before he completely lost consciousness, Ash urgently summoned a Pokémon behind him.

However, because the situation was so urgent, he didn't know which one he had summoned.

Of everyone present, apart from Thick Eyebrows and his three confidants, only Michelle remained normal.

The girl's reaction was amazing. She immediately noticed what was happening, picked up Ash's statue, and dragged it away as she ran, not even caring that her sunglasses had fallen off.

Meanwhile, the poaching gang was regretting their decision to use the petrification gun out of necessity.

"We're doomed! We used so much energy at once, the leader won't let us off the hook."

"Captain, why are you petrifying so many people?!"

"Do you think I wanted this? It's because my subordinates are too useless, and we're about to lose."

99

At this moment, Thick Eyebrows looked at his masterpiece and felt a headache coming on.

"Go and take the adaptive containment glass cover out of the car and put these Pokémon statues back in place."

"We need to quickly repair the car and the petrification reversal device that were damaged by the electric shock, and then leave this place."

Now, Thick Eyebrows can only hope that offering Ash and his friends their powerful Pokémon will please Boss J and make him let them go.

After all, they are a Pokémon poaching group. Although they used a lot of petrifying gun energy this time, it is understandable as long as they bring back enough loot.

However, at this moment, a confidant with thick eyebrows and shifty eyes noticed something was amiss.

"Is the captain short-handed?"

It was then that Thick Eyebrows and the others realized that Ash's statue and Michelle were missing.

"What?! There are still people who haven't been petrified?! Why didn't you useless trash notice sooner?!"

Thick eyebrows roared angrily, but seeing the resentful looks in the eyes of his three remaining subordinates, he suddenly stopped and coughed lightly.

"Never mind, the baby dragon and sunglasses are still here, the goal has been achieved."

"Without our equipment, the petrification cannot be reversed. The most important thing is to quickly repair the broken instruments and leave this place."

"This place is so desolate, there are no towns for dozens of kilometers around. Without Pokémon, a little girl carrying a big stone statue, they probably can't go far."

"It's not too late to start the search after we've removed the petrification from our own people."

Meanwhile, Ash, who was petrified, felt himself sinking into darkness, becoming dazed, and his consciousness seemed to float upwards.

Then suddenly his eyes lit up and he regained consciousness, only to find that he was now in the form of a soul, in a mysterious, fiery red space.

"Where am I?" Ash looked around in confusion, feeling a little annoyed.

"Damn it, I never thought I'd be ambushed by a poaching gang because of carelessness."

That petrifying light was really strange; I have no idea where those bad guys got it from or what its principle was.

Both humans and Pokémon were petrified in an instant.

But now is not the time to think about that. Ash manipulated his soul, drifting through space, trying to find an exit back to the Pokémon world.

But this space was nothing but red, stretching as far as the eye could see, with no sky, no earth, and no living creatures.

There was only a ball of light at the center, constantly emitting something that looked like energy waves.

Just as Ash was trying to see more clearly inside the light sphere, the space suddenly calmed down and then violently turbulently began to move again.

The ball of light emitted an incredibly bright light, sucking Ash inside.
