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

Holding the map, Xiaoxia started yelling in frustration, "Ugh! Where am I?! Tell me, who am I?!"

"Your name is Xiaoxia, and you are in the bushes somewhere."

Ash picked up the map that had been thrown to the ground and pointed to a direction on it.

“You just held the map upside down. The nearest highway is number 24.”

Xiaoxia blushed slightly after glancing at the direction Xiaozhi was pointing.

It seems that not only Ash, but Misty is also prone to getting lost.

These two lost souls together don't seem to have a very bright future ahead of them.

"So, if we cross this mountain, we'll see the road to Konoha City."

"Let's go, let's go, let's hurry up and move forward."

Excitedly picking up Pikachu, Misty immediately led Ash on their way.

Not long after they started walking, Xiaoxia spotted a shadow that looked like a Pokémon on a large rock ahead.

"Ash, look, what's that?"

"What? It's appeared? A rare Pokémon!" Ash turned around at the sound.

"Pikachu, get ready."

"Pikachu..." Upon hearing Ash's call, Pikachu immediately jumped down from Misty's arms.

However, Ash quickly realized something was wrong.

"This figure looks like..." Ash took out his Pokédex and scanned it toward the location of the giant rock.

[A baby dragon has a burning flame on its tail from the moment it is born; when the flame disappears, it dies.]

"Oh, it's a little dragon. But the flame on its tail is so weak."

The observant Xia noticed that something was wrong with the little fire dragon.

"His condition is indeed so poor; if left unattended, something bad will happen very soon."

"Then let's subdue it and take it with us!"

Without hesitation, Ash threw a Poké Ball at Charmander.

Unexpectedly, the little Charmander struggled to its feet and nimbly swung its tail, knocking back the Poké Ball that Ash had thrown.

Xiao Zhi, holding the ball, was somewhat surprised.

"Could the little dragon be waiting for its owner?" Xiaoxia suggested.

"It is indeed waiting for its owner, but it won't come," Xiaozhi said decisively.

Ash finally remembered – wasn't this the future Charizard? Ash had a strong impression of it.

"If it were just an ordinary Pokémon, that would be fine, but now I have to take you away, Charmander!"

Ash waved his hand and said, "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt on me!"

The little Charmander on the rock stared blankly at Ash, thinking, "Why would he let a Pokémon attack him? Has this human gone mad?!"

After being shocked by the electric shock, Ash transformed into a tough guy and leaped onto the rock.

Under the terrifying pressure, Charmander didn't dare to move and was picked up by Ash like a mouse.

"Charmander, I know who you're waiting for. I can take you to see that scumbag's true colors, but you have to come with me to the Pokémon Center for treatment."

Xiao Zhi punched downwards, and the boulder beneath their feet instantly cracked and shattered into small pebbles.

"You have no right to refuse!"

This terrifying power completely terrified the little dragon. Already weakened, it stared wide-eyed, unable to utter a sound, and could only nod blankly.

Ash tucked it under his arm and took it to the nearby Pokémon Center.

Just after Ash and his friends turned around, the sky gradually darkened, and dark clouds gathered, as if it was about to rain.

In Ash's vague memory, there was a Pokémon Center ahead of the road.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xiaoxia to find their destination. "Look, Ash, it's the Pokémon Center!"

The raindrops falling from the sky gradually became denser, and Ash and his friends quickly headed to the center to take shelter from the rain.

The interior of this Pokémon Center is exquisitely decorated in a retro style, mainly with a wooden structure. In the center of the living room, there is a specially constructed torch that serves as a lighting and heating device.

However, Ash wasn't really interested in appreciating the exquisite interior decoration.

Instead, they immediately took Charmander to Miss Joy for initial treatment.

The little fire dragon had been on that rock for a long time, and its body was covered with many wounds left by the attack from the speare.

"Luckily you brought it in time, and with this bandaging, it's nothing serious."

Nurse Joy handed the Charmander, wrapped up like a dumpling, along with the other Poké Balls that had been sent to help him recover, to Ash.

"Thank you very much, Miss Joey."

After thanking Nurse Joy, Ash took Charmander to the cafeteria in the center to rest.

Xiaoxia also brought back 4 cups of hot cocoa.

Charmander was still a little annoyed at being forcibly brought to the Pokémon Center, but since Ash was sitting right next to it, it could only obediently accept Misty's kindness.

Just then, another group of people were also taking shelter from the rain inside the Pokémon Center.

They started making a lot of noise around a blue-haired boy wearing sunglasses.

Charmander suddenly became excited after hearing the sound.

Ash, understanding what had happened, reached out and stroked Charmander's head, saying sympathetically to it...

"Wait for the little dragon, don't make a sound, and take a good look at his true face."

The blue-haired youth in the middle had the loudest voice.

"As expected of Brother Dayou."

"But Brother Dayou, you don't have Little Fire Dragon anymore, do you?"

The blue-haired youth named Da You said to his underling with an indifferent expression.

"My little Charmander is too weak. It can't even beat a Poliwag. It's terrible!"

The younger brothers who were surrounding him continued to ask, "Brother Dayou, how's that little fire dragon doing?"

"Of course, we'll release them directly into the forest in front."

“I lost it several times before, and it kept following me. Finally, I told it to wait for me here and I would be back soon, and then it stopped following me.”

"He even wagged his tail at me like an idiot, seeing me off, hahaha!"

Because they were speaking so loudly, Charmander heard their entire conversation.

It lowered its head in disappointment, the flames on its tail flickering.

Xiaoxia said angrily, "So that's why he abandoned Charmander."

Stroking Charmander's head, Ash comforted it, saying, "It didn't realize it was waiting obediently before."

That group was even laughing over there.

"Maybe it's still wagging its tail on the hilltop..."

"Maybe the tail was wagging so hard that it extinguished the fire!"

The young man named Dayou was the one laughing the most.

"This is going to be fun, hahaha!"

Finally, Xiao Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, so he went over, grabbed Da You by the collar, and lifted him off the chair.

"If the little dragon is still waiting for you on the rock, and you don't go, it will wait there until it dies, do you understand?!"

With a displeased look on his face, Da You broke free from Xiao Zhi's hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense, it's none of your business!"

[Ding! Side quest triggered: Punish the real scumbag: Little Zhi, martial god, give him the ultimate humiliation!]

Amidst the commotion, Da You's underlings surrounded him, and Xiao Xia and Pikachu also came to Xiao Zhi's side.

The two groups were locked in a fierce battle.

Chapter Twenty: Taming the Little Dragon

"You actually dared to overestimate yourselves and gang up on me?" Ash glanced disdainfully at the rabble around him.

"Damn it, so arrogant, let's teach him a lesson!" Da You and his underlings all pulled out Poké Balls.

However, Ash ignored him and continued walking forward on his own. Although he was just walking, his speed was surprisingly fast.

Before Da You's underlings could react, Ash took off their hands one by one, the ones holding the Poké Balls.

These young men, who were always making a ruckus, had never experienced such pain before. They all collapsed to the ground, clutching their arms and groaning in agony.

For a moment, only Dayou remained standing, cold sweat pouring down his forehead and his legs trembling uncontrollably.

This was, after all, the Pokémon Center, and Ash gave him a quick death, snatching the Poké Ball and kicking Daiyu to the ground.

Just then, Miss Joey arrived.

"No, this is the end of it!" Miss Joy clapped her hands and stood between them, speaking to Da You and his group.

"You are not allowed to fight in the Pokémon Center, otherwise I will report you to the League and have your trainer licenses revoked."

"You old hag, we were the ones getting beaten up, why are you only blaming us!" Da You glared at Xiao Zhi on the ground, gritting his teeth.

Now Joey didn't even look at Da Yu and the others anymore, and Chansey, who was originally carrying the medical kit, was waved back by her.

"This is my final warning, you'd better watch yourselves!"

Da-you and the others could only leave, cursing and swearing.

"It's best not to get involved with those people; they have a terrible reputation."

After saying that, Miss Nurse patted Ash's head and gave him a beautiful smile.

"Yes, I will be careful," Ash said, thanking Nurse Joy.

This is truly the most charming moment for those who are disliked by both humans and dogs.

For Miss Joy's sake, Ash will let Yu and the others off the hook for now.

But the humiliation is not that simple; it's just an appetizer.

The next morning, Daiyu, who was also resting at the Pokémon Center, opened the door of his room and walked out of the center.

I came to the open space to stretch my body, which had just recovered from treatment.

Miss Joey was just too kind; in the end, she still treated Da You and the others.

However, Xiao Zhi, who was exercising here early in the morning, wasn't so easy to talk to.

Having finished his daily exercise, Xiao Zhi saw Da You arrive at the open space and immediately got up and approached him with a grin.

"Hey, isn't this our Dayou brother!"

Daiyu looked at Xiaozhi with a horrified expression, "How did you get here...?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was knocked unconscious, tied up, and dragged into the woods.

"Come forth, armored rhinoceros, macho power."

A muscular, blue-skinned young man and a gray rhinoceros with large horns appeared before Da You, who had just woken up.

With their sharp eyes, frivolous smiles, and natural movements, they are clearly among the best in Pokémon!

"Hehe, haha, each of my Pokémon has its own unique strengths and special moves. Their fighting spirit and patience are truly amazing!" Ash looked at Daiyu with a sly grin.

"Powerful and strong, my Pokémon will surely bring you endless surprises!"

Ash waved his hand and gestured to the two Pokémon to begin.

"Enjoy it, you scum."
