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

Beedrill doesn't have the stamina to unleash another full-area Pin Missile attack.

Xiaoxia has a huge advantage in terms of venue.

"How can we let you succeed? Beedrill used Hyper Beam directly on the floating platform opposite."

The energy wave of the Destruction Ray descended from the sky, striking the floating platform where the gem starfish was located. The immense power caused ripples to spread across the entire pool.

Even Ash and Misty, who were standing on different floating platforms at opposite ends of the field, almost lost their balance.

As the smoke dissipated, the rubies on Xiaoxia's starfish continued to flash red, indicating that it had lost its ability to fight.

[Ding! Beedrill acquired: Affection +1; Intimacy +1]

"Xiaoxia, your starfish is really weak. It lost its fighting ability just from the aftershock."

"Don't talk too much, I'll train it properly in the future."

After losing the match, Misty reluctantly recalled her Pokémon.

Just as Xiaoxia was about to continue arguing with Xiaozhi, a loud crash was heard, and a huge machine smashed a large hole in the wall of the gym.

"To prevent the world from being destroyed!"

"To protect world peace!"

……

As soon as the standard lines were finished, a large water pipe extended from the giant machine and began to draw water from the pool inside the venue.

"Rockets! Why are you guys so persistent?"

Upon seeing the familiar trio, Ash observed the unidentified machine they were riding in.

"Giant water pipes and massive engines—it turns out you were the ones who stole from the city before."

"Kid, we're not here for you this time. With this huge water pump, all we need to do is drain the water out of the Cerulean Gym."

"Meow, Water-type Pokémon lose a lot of power when they lose water. We'll catch all the Pokémon in there then, meow hahaha!"

"But our Pokémon are all being treated at Nurse Joy's in the Pokémon Center, not at the gym."

Faced with the sudden appearance of Team Rocket, Xiaoxia's sisters actually had the mind to explain to them.

Ash didn't even want to talk to those three idiots anymore.

"Pikachu Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu's moves spread to the machine along with the water it absorbed. After a flash of white light, an explosion rang out, and Team Rocket was blasted away once again.

"Kojiro, why didn't you think of the fact that water can conduct electricity?"

"You didn't expect this either!"

"Meow, remember to take precautions against electric shock next time!"

"This feeling is awful!" ×3

[Congratulations on completing the side quest: Do a Good Deed Today: Defeat Team Rocket and stop their plot (3/∞)]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +100; Regional Favorability +5; Regional Reputation +1;]

As Team Rocket disappeared into the horizon, Misty walked to Ash's side.

"These idiots always show up suddenly and then get knocked out very quickly. I can't understand why they keep doing it."

"Here you go, the blue teardrop badge."

Ash took the badge from Misty and immediately struck his signature pose.

"Great! We've got two badges already, one step closer to the League Tournament!"

[Ding! Main Quest: Blue Badge! Completed.]

[Rewards: Defense +1, Special Defense +1, Free Attribute +3; Water-type skill power increased by 5% when possessing a blue badge]

"Pikachu!"

"Pikachu, how dare you celebrate with me, you rascal."

Pinch Pikachu's little cheeks and punish it severely.

Chapter 11 Lucario

"Riolu jumps up to dodge the opponent's charge and uses Comet Punch!"

With a single leap, Riolu rendered Rattata incapable of battling.

"Great, ten consecutive wins!" Ash shouted excitedly.

The outskirts of Cerulean City are covered with farmland, with fields visible everywhere along the roads.

There are many trainers battling in the area around here.

Ash was one of them.

Although there are few wild Pokémon in this area, there are many trainers who love to challenge passing travelers.

At first, Ash was just taking his Pokémon to do their daily training in an open area nearby.

But after learning that he had already obtained two badges, the previously scattered trainers began to surround him one by one, taking turns to challenge Ash.

Of course, Xiaoxia also played a significant role in "gathering monsters".

The four Cerulean sisters are very famous in Cerulean City.

Countless local teenagers saw Misty holding Pikachu, standing behind Ash like a waiting-for-her-husband rock.

They all gritted their teeth and gathered around Xiaozhi, calling their friends and acquaintances.

"Those rude strangers are so disrespectful!"

"The most beautiful flower among the younger generation of Hualan has been plucked like this! Unforgivable!"

[Ding! Side Quest: Show Your Strength! : Achieve as many consecutive wins as possible. Activate]

【奖励：联盟币+300x（连胜数）；自由属性+（每10连胜+1）；体力+1（每50连胜+1）】

Ash certainly wouldn't miss such a rare opportunity to train his Pokémon, and he accepted all the battle requests.

And unless the opponent is too strong, prioritize sending out Clefairy, Riolu, and other Pokémon that Ash is currently relatively weak with.

I don't know if it's because the Cerulean Gym set a bad example, but the skill level of the trainers in this area is really average.

Ash is now like a god of war, winning one battle after another without stopping.

"Ash, have you finished battling? Let's hurry up and get going." Misty had been standing there for a long time, and her legs were getting sore.

"No, Xiaoxia, I already promised them I would fight them. How can I go back on my word?"

After massaging Xiaoxia's legs, Xiaozhi, having thoroughly enjoyed the massage, continued earnestly...

"And you can also make a fortune."

This is an unspoken rule among Pokémon trainers.

In these informal challenges, the winner can take two or three hundred yuan of pocket money from the loser.

With this money and the rewards from the system, Xiao Zhi has become completely obsessed with money.

"How long will this battle last!" Looking at the huge crowd around her, Xiaoxia could only sigh and continue to wait helplessly.

"Pikachu used Thunderbolt to suppress it!"

"Use Thunderclap now!"

Amidst the deafening roar of lightning, Ash achieved his 11th consecutive victory.

"Beedrill took the opportunity to create distance and used Pin Missile!"

13-game winning streak

"Dodge the attack! Riolu, use the Wave Missile now!"

15-game winning streak

"Great! The singing is working! Pipi rushes over and uses her slap!"

20-game winning streak

"Pipi used a series of slaps!"

With his 37th consecutive win and having accumulated enough experience, Ash used a Moon Stone to evolve Clefairy into Clefairy.

The battle continues.

99th consecutive win!

Slowly opening his eyes, Ash ignored the unwilling cries of his opponents and remained silent.

In the somber atmosphere, he seemed to be surrounded by an aura of dominance.

Of course, it's not that Ash deliberately stayed silent to pretend to be a pro.

It's just that I fought all day and managed to shout myself hoarse.

The last opponent stepped forward to shake hands with Ash after the match.

This man with a center-parted hairstyle, suspenders, and glasses has a pretty good Nidorino.

It withstood five rounds of Ash's Beedrill attack, but was finally defeated by a fatal sting.

"A total of 99 consecutive wins, you are really amazing, I admit defeat wholeheartedly."

There was still a hint of resentment in the words of the man in overalls and glasses.

"We're entrusting the mermaids of Cerulean City to you!"

"Your skills are quite good."

Ash originally planned to give a long, boastful speech.

My throat was really sore, so I could only give that brief response.

"That's what the bespectacled man said with a sigh."

"Maybe you can defeat Xiaoming."

"Xiao Ming?"

"He built a private gym right there, and he's a trainer known as 'Beastmaster Xiaoming.' I heard he's never lost a match so far!"

"Really? Okay! I'm going to meet him." Xiao Zhi's throat hurt terribly when he spoke even a little louder.

He quickly ran to Xiaoxia and drank some anti-inflammatory herbal tea, which made him feel a little better.

There's nothing I can do but rest tonight and go see Xiaoming tomorrow.

The next morning, Ash, fully recovered, went to Demigos's gym full of energy.

Seeing Ash struggling to survive yesterday, only to be back to his energetic self overnight, Xiaoxia couldn't help but exclaim that Ash's recovery ability was truly terrifying!

Since Xiaoming built the dojo, he naturally wanted people to come and challenge him, so it couldn't be a remote place.

Not long after they started walking along the main road, Ash and his friends found a tent-shaped private gym surrounded by a wooden fence in a clearing in the woods.

The sign above the gate reads "98 consecutive wins".

"Would you like to have a competition?"

A burly young man with green hair emerged from the forest.

Looking at the boy in front of him, Ash asked, "Are you Beastmaster Xiaoming?"

Xiao Ming smiled slightly.

"It seems you heard the rumors about me from local trainers."

"I just got back from catching a new Pokémon, but I'm not going to refuse a challenge. Come on in."

The wooden gate slowly opened, revealing an area that was considerably larger than it appeared from the outside.

It's clearly a private martial arts school, but it looks quite formal.

It's easy to imagine that the owner of this place put a lot of thought into it.

The two quickly took their places on the field.
