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

Ash wasn't happy to have such a sleazy guy by his side.

After getting the Baku to cooperate, Ash went back to the hotel and pulled Misty out of bed because she had been working hard all night.

They still had to rush to the location of the next dojo.

When they left, the Citrus City Police Department sent people to see off the hero who had saved the city's Pokémon.

The person who arrived was Officer Jenny, who had invited Xiaozhi to dinner yesterday.

Officer Jenny's gaze was gentle and her face slightly flushed. Before leaving, she thoughtfully reminded Ash to pack more clothes.

This is, of course, because of what Xiaozhi did at the dinner party last night...

We successfully reconciled Ms. Officer Jenny and her husband.

Ash noticed something was wrong yesterday. He hadn't done anything, and his Minotaur Soul ability was only level 2.

No one has that kind of power to suddenly have a romantic encounter with a wife.

Upon further questioning, it turned out that the place Officer Jenny wanted to take Ash to for dinner was indeed the restaurant owned by her husband.

Because Officer Jenny was always focused on her police work and neglected her family, she and her husband had a fight.

Tonight is the time the young couple had agreed to have dinner together and chat.

Officer Jenny wanted to bring Ash over to spite her husband.

Her husband was also quite something; he hired a beautiful girl to come over, also wanting to spite Officer Jenny.

What a foolish couple! No wonder they got married.

But Xiaozhi still went that night, and he brought Xiaoxia with him; he couldn't miss out on a free dinner.

At the dinner table, Xiao Zhi's outstanding oratory skills and silver tongue made the couple blush with shame.

They apologized to each other on the spot and made up.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the title "Friend of Women": After obtaining this title, mature women who love gossip are more likely to increase their favorability towards you.]

In the end, Xiao Zhi not only got a free dinner, but also made the couple extremely grateful.

They also packed up a large amount of ingredients from the kitchen warehouse of Miss Officer Jenny's husband's restaurant and made a hefty profit from the service fee.

"I saved money again, it feels great!"

Chapter 128 Crystal Onix and Dragonair

On the high seas, Ash is heading towards the location of his next gym. He's in a bad mood.

Today was another day of zero catches for him, while Xia next to him had a huge catch, and he hadn't caught a single fish...

Ash, unable to bear it any longer, threw his fishing rod aside and sent Squirtle to dive into the sea.

"Squirtle, scoop all the fish out of there!"

Smart net, kid!

Damn it, if this weren't the ocean, Ash would have already been on the water pump.

The fish in the Orange Islands are so rude!

However, after Squirtle dived down for a long time, what it pulled up was neither a fish nor a Pokémon.

It is a transparent glass bottle.

"Jenny, Jenny~!" The little turtle happily threw the bottle up.

"This looks like a message in a bottle, and there's a letter inside!" Xiaoxia snatched the bottle first, opened it, and read the letter to Xiaozhi.

"If anyone knows anything about the Crystal Onix, please tell me. I'm counting on you, Masami of Yagan Island, go."

"That's all there is to the letter. It might be a message in a bottle left by residents of the nearby Yagan Island."

"Crystal Onix..." Ash's memories were triggered by the name of this Pokémon.

This is an extremely rare Pokémon! It's an Onix made entirely of crystal and is completely unafraid of Water-type moves.

Mainly because he looks so handsome. "Once I find him, I will definitely win him over."

It sounds so exciting! Ash Ketchum, the future Pokémon Master, is about to set off to catch rare Pokémon.

"Okay, Xia, let's head to Yagan Island and ask about the Crystal Onix."

Ash remembers that Crystal Onix definitely exists, and its location is on Orange Island.

But he couldn't remember exactly where it was, so he could only go there and find out what was going on.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Crystal Body!": Please find the Crystal Onix and capture it.]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +3000; Stamina +1; Free Attribute Points +2; Acquire Trait: Crystallization Lv1]

"Too crystallized, what is that?"

Ash ignored the abilities he didn't know; he needed to hurry and find the Crystal Onix.

Yagan Island isn't far from where Ash and his friends are now; they can get there in 10 minutes at Lapras's speed.

Upon arriving on the island, Ash discovered that it was surprisingly prosperous, with vendors and tourists hawking their wares everywhere on the streets.

"Wow, these glass items are so beautiful!" Xiaoxia was immediately attracted by the exquisite handicrafts next to her.

"The introduction here says that Yagan Island is famous for its glass products, and most of the island's residents are glassmakers, which attracts a large number of tourists."

These glass items are really expensive; any one of them costs several thousand.

Looking around at the handicrafts, Xiao Zhi felt that this was a huge business opportunity.

Unfortunately, most of the glassware here consists of bottles and cups, and the few decorative items are mostly flowers, plants, and trees.

There were no Pokémon glass items that Ash wanted.

Xiao Zhi had enjoyed the previous limited-edition doll combo, and now that he's discovered these exquisite handicrafts, he wants to repeat the same strategy.

After buying Xiaoxia a small accessory, I took the opportunity to ask the shop owner, "Do you know of any shops that make excellent Pokémon glassware?"

Because Xiao Zhi is so generous, the boss dares not neglect him.

"Oh dear, esteemed customer, there used to be a shop that made Pokémon, and the craftsman there was the best glassmaker on the entire island."

"But since the founder passed away and his grandson took over the shop, very few of his works have been circulated."

The shop owner pointed out a direction to Xiaozhi: "You can go to the end of that street and take a look; their shop is there."

They quickly pulled Xiaoxia over, and when they reached the end of the street, they found a small red-haired girl being scolded by an adult man wearing an apron next door.

"At this rate, why doesn't your store close down?!"

"But..." the cute little girl lowered her head timidly and responded softly.

"There's nothing to buy. Go back and tell your brother that if he has no talent, he shouldn't persist and should give up as soon as possible!"

"You're talking nonsense..." The little girl was brought to tears by his words, and the difference in their demeanor compared to the man made her appear particularly pitiful.

Seeing this, Ash and Misty rushed over to ask what was wrong, "Did this little girl do something wrong?"

"Are you Zhengmei's friends? Don't meddle in other people's business. If a shop like this opens up next door, no customers will come."

Seeing someone approaching, the man grumbled as he walked back to his shop next door.

Xiaoxia first wiped away Zhengmei's tears, then gently asked her what was wrong.

"Young lady, you must be Zhengmei. We found a message in a bottle and came here, but why is the shop open but there are no products inside?"

Xiao Zhi took out the new glass bottle and placed it in front of Masami.

“This shop was opened by my older brother, Ah Gong, but he couldn’t make very good glasswork.”

The little girl looked at Xiaozhi expectantly as he took out the glass bottle.

"Did you see this letter and come to tell me about the Crystal Onix?"

"I do know..."

"Great!"

Before Ash could finish speaking, the cheerful little girl pulled him to the shop's craft section to see her brother.

Zhengmei's older brother, Agong, is a calm and steady young man.

He wasn't angry when he saw his sister pull two strangers into the shop's workshop; instead, he apologized to Ash and the others first.

"I'm so sorry, my sister has caused you trouble."

This glass workshop looks very professional, with finished Pokémon glass products displayed all around.

Xiao Zhi looked over and found that these works were all very exquisite.

"These glass Pokémon are all very well made, why not sell them?"

"Actually... this shop was always very successful when my grandfather was in charge; he was the best glass artist on the island."

"But since he passed away, I've taken over the shop and haven't been able to create anything I'm satisfied with..."

Xiaoxia also looked at the display cases of artworks in the glass workshop.

"I also think these glass bottles are very well made."

Picking up a glass Bulbasaur, Agong said unwillingly.

"No, my creation doesn't look like a living Pokémon at all."

"These soulless things are utter garbage compared to Grandpa's works!"

After saying that, he threw the Bulbasaur in his hand to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"What a pity." Xiao Zhi felt a little sorry for him; he could definitely sell it for a lot of money.

"So where exactly is the difference?"

“I have always lacked inspiration. My grandfather once saw a crystal Onix. After that, the glass Pokémon in his hands have always been lifelike, as if they came to life.”

"If I could see the Crystal Onix, I might get some inspiration."

Agong showed Ash and his friends a large crystal Onix statue made of glass.

This crystal Onix is ​​indeed sculpted so realistically that it looks like a living Pokémon.

"I've searched the entire island, but I just can't find the Crystal Onix." Agong looked disappointed.

Xiao Zhi laughed when he heard this.

"That's exactly why I came. Leave it to me, and I'll take you to see the Crystal Onix!"

"Really!" Agong and Zhengmei grasped Xiaozhi's hands, expressing their gratitude repeatedly.

"If I really find it, how can I ever repay you!"

"Just give me priority access to your work later."

Regardless of whether Ah Gong's skills improve after seeing the Crystal Onix.

His current skill level alone is enough for Ash to order products from him.

"No problem!"

After Agon agreed, Ash asked him to take him to a small island near Kalanchoe Island.

"But my grandfather once said that the Crystal Onix is ​​on this island!"

Despite some doubts, Agong still obediently led Ash to the only small island near Kalanchoe Island.

Upon arriving near the island, Ash confidently told them to wait a moment.

Sure enough, after a while, a passage connecting the large island and the small island appeared.

In fact, this small island is also part of the larger island.

Today happens to be a tidal day, so both the high and low tides will be particularly noticeable.

Therefore, this passage connecting the large island and the small island is revealed.

Ah Gong's grandfather wasn't lying; the Crystal Onix really is on Yagan Island.

Ash and his friends quickly made their way to the island while the road appeared; there was only one cave there.

Upon cautiously entering, we discovered a large cave filled with crystals.
