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

Today, large groups of cattle will be randomly and legally roaming around the city, although it's unclear why they'll deviate from their intended path.

But Ash couldn't teach them a proper lesson.

"I can't just let this go like this, since it almost hurt my Pokémon."

After learning that all these Tauros would be participating in tomorrow's Tauros Tournament and battling against the trainers' Tauros, Ash had an idea.

"In tomorrow's match, I will utterly defeat and humiliate you arrogant fools!"

A petty, muscular man.

"It's decided, I'll go to the Kentaro tournament tomorrow!"

"And Cyndaquil, you'll put on two horns and pretend to be Tauros to participate. You absolutely have to win, Cyndaquil!"

Ash picked up the hamster at his feet and excitedly pointed to the billboard for the strongest Tauros tournament.

"Nino?!" Cyndaquil glanced at the muscular Tauros on the billboard, swallowed hard, and shook its head frantically.

"Nino, Nino..." (No, no...)

"What, you don't want to go?"

"That won't do. After all, you've always lacked fighting spirit. Maybe participating will ignite your competitive drive."

"Let's persevere to get stronger!" Ash said resolutely.

Fireball Rat shook its head even more dramatically.

If I, a little mouse, were to be hit by that big horn, I would really die.

At the same time, in order to prove that it would still be motivated even if it didn't go, it immediately adopted a posture as if it was straining due to constipation.

They actually managed to summon the flames of fighting spirit.

"Nino!"

"Hmm, not bad. With enough effort, you can summon the flames of fighting spirit even in normal circumstances!"

Ash happily put Cyndaquil down and gently patted its head to encourage it.

"Remember this feeling, then Cyndaquil won't need to participate in the Tauros Tournament."

Upon hearing this, the mouse finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, Ash was just kidding Cyndaquil. He had already had Professor Oak teleport the Tauros leader from the Pokémon Center.

I'm just here to scare the cute little hamster.

I didn't expect it to actually ignite the flames of its fighting spirit; it seems I'll have to scare it more often in the future.

————Selfless Collision————

On the second day of the Tauros Battle Tournament, Ash's Tauros was like a god of war, dominating the battlefield.

Although it is usually kept at the research institute, it is thanks to Professor Oak's care.

Moreover, they are properly fed and have plenty of open space to run around freely, so they are all plump and strong.

In particular, the leader Tauros that Ash sent out had an amazing amount of muscle mass, which Ash loved very much.

With Ash's repeated shouts of "Bullman, then use Charge!", he easily defeated his opponents one after another on the battlefield.

It left behind the shameful hoofprints of Nunu, a defeated foe of Ash and Tauros! (Just kidding!)

Who can stop this powerful bull? And who can stop it?

In the end, Ash's Tauros successfully won the championship, completing his revenge against those Tauros who weren't watching where they were going.

After the match, Ash happily rode his Tauros around the city for a fun lap, a privilege reserved for champions.

He also accidentally knocked Xiao Gang, who was standing on the side of the road, to the ground, and rescued a young woman who was being harassed!

That's amazing!

Chapter 204 The Little Sawtooth Alligator

"Damn it, Ash! What have you done?!"

Xiao Gang, who had been thrown into the air, quickly climbed back up, but the beautiful older sister had already vanished without a trace.

He was immediately on the verge of tears.

"Didn't you see how much the other person's eyes are rolling back? Stop acting like a human Growlithe, Brock."

"What do you know? That just means they care about me. As long as I work hard..."

Before Brock could finish speaking, Ash pulled him to the Exchange Tournament to meet up with Misty and Rika.

After introducing Rika, whom he had just met, Xiaogang took out a square piece of gray mud from his backpack and handed it to Xiaozhi.

"This is the peat block; it took me quite a bit of work."

"Thank you so much, Xiao Gang!" Xiao Zhi took the money and paid Xiao Gang for the expenses incurred.

After all, even if you're friends, you shouldn't take advantage of each other too much.

"According to the records, it can be evolved by using it on Ursaring on a full moon night."

"It's just that no one has tried it yet, and the full moon will be here soon."

"If you succeed, Xiaozhi, remember to let me know how it goes."

As a Pokémon breeder, Brock was also very curious about what Ursaring would look like after evolving.

Ash and his friends also visited the Pokémon Exchange Festival, and it was indeed a grand event with many rare Pokémon.

They had a good time browsing around, but none of them wanted to trade Pokémon; they were just there to join in the fun.

The only reason we chose this meeting place was because it was conspicuous.

However, Jessie, who was called over by Ash to observe the process of a large-scale event, inexplicably managed to trade Pokémon with a passerby.

When Jessie arrived, not only Ash but also James and Meowth were surprised.

"Meow, Musashi, did you switch out Arbok?"

"A partner who has been with me for so long..."

"You two idiots, of course it can't be Arbok! It's Dudu that I caught casually before."

According to Musashi, the other party was taking this guy around and asking everyone he met if they wanted to trade.

"It's just a Dodo that I caught the day before, not a particularly rare Pokémon, so why is the other person so eager to trade it?"

She would absolutely refuse to trade Arbok for Jessie, but Dodo was a Pokémon she randomly caught by chance and used as a means of transportation.

And it was only captured a day ago.

Seeing the other party's strong request, and feeling sorry for the Pokémon he had taken around to show off, Jessie softened and agreed.

"His former owner approached many people at the exchange meeting, but no one was willing to trade with him."

What Pokémon is it?

When Ash asked curiously, the Pokémon actually ran out of Jessie's Poké Ball on its own.

"Sonas!"

It has a blue body that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, strange movements, and funny expressions.

This Pokémon is...

"As expected!" That really was a choice of fate.

"Honestly, I've told you not to run out on your own!"

"If it weren't for seeing how much everyone disliked you and pushed you around..."

As expected, the old man reminded Musashi of his childhood.

"Anyway, you're coming with me from now on, but you're not allowed to run away on your own again!"

Jessie was talking to Wobbuffet with her hands on her hips, but Ash knew it wouldn't listen.

Xiaoxia can empathize with this; her Psyduck always runs away on its own, disobeying orders.

Moreover, these kinds of Pokémon are incorrigible.

"It looks like it's going to be a very unique Pokémon."

Ash really liked Wobbuffet after seeing Pikachu run up to Wobbuffet and imitate its movements to make Togepi laugh.

It was indeed fortunate that Ootengu could follow Musashi.

After all, its previous owner said he really liked Wobbuffet and just wanted to try raising other Pokémon.

But his eagerness to get rid of it really makes one doubt how genuine his feelings are.

————Double the return————

After replenishing their supplies, Ash and his friends said goodbye to Brock and James and continued their journey to Goldenrod City.

And sure enough, I got lost again.

"Xia and Lihua, why do you think we keep getting lost like this?"

"As long as you don't wander off while exercising, you won't get lost!"

"Honestly, he always goes to places that aren't marked on the map. How is he not going to get lost?" Xiaoxia vented her anger by spinning Xiaozhi 1800 times around his waist.

Unfortunately, this didn't bother Xiaozhi at all.

However, getting lost this time wasn't such a bad thing, because they actually encountered a group of Derubis in a forest.

When they found them, the puppies were protecting a companion with an injured leg and baring their teeth at Ash and his friends.

Judging from the torn packaging bags in the hole, these Derubis must have frequently stolen food from nearby towns.

They were discovered this time because they tried to steal Ash's backpack, and were then caught and instantly refined by Ash.

But after learning that the dogs stole the food to help their companion recover quickly, Ash went over to help heal the injured Houndoom.

Although the environment here is beautiful, resources are scarce, so Xiaozhi also packed up and took all five little black dogs with him.

Since they're already heading to town to steal food from humans, it's better to take them with us.

Ash captured the leader with the scar on its eye, while the remaining four were taken by Rin, a Dark-type Pokémon enthusiast.

Rinka genuinely loves Dark-type Pokémon, and her ability to train Dark-type Pokémon is undeniable.

During regular training, Ash would often ask her for advice on how to train Absol.

—A flash of lightning—

"Scizor, use Bullet Punch!"

A red flash streaked by, and under the Scizor's fierce onslaught, the Poliwag was quickly defeated.

[Ding! Scizor: Affection +2; Intimacy +1]

[Ding! Scizor: Affection and intimacy have reached maximum!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Special Defense +2; Skill: Bullet Punch]

"After following us for so long, Scizor's Senses are finally full." Ash immediately released Kirlia to heal Scizor and Poliwag.

Since Kirlia learned Healing Pulse, Ash's cost of medicine has dropped dramatically!

Kirlia is amazing, but it's tough on the little girl who's always being exploited by Ash.

"I lost again." Xiaoxia picked up the mosquito coil tadpole in disappointment.

"Xiaoxia, you're asking for too much if you think you can beat me in a match."

During their breaks from traveling, Ash and Misty would practice battling.

If Misty wants to become a Water-type Pokémon Master, she definitely needs to make her Pokémon stronger.

Since traveling with Ash, Misty has also caught some Pokémon.

Although there are far fewer of them than Ash, there are still Psyduck, Omanyte, Milotic, and Poliwag.

In addition, Ash just brought her a Squirtle from Squirtle Island.

The main reason is that Misty only catches Water-type Pokémon, so she doesn't usually go out and catch many, which makes her seem less active.
