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

Taking their advice, Xiaozhi decided to force his way into Rika's place tonight.

The pear blossoms are in danger.

"Wait a minute, I haven't seen you before. Are you heading into the forest?"

Just as Ash and his friends were thinking about how to open the gate, an old woman with a white headscarf and an indifferent expression suddenly walked out of a wooden house in a tree that looked like a sentry post.

After she finished asking her question, she stared at Xiaozhi and the others without moving.

At that moment, another young woman appeared behind Xiao Zhi carrying a flower basket.

"You'd better listen to Grandma."

Seeing that Xiaozhi and his group were outsiders and might not know the situation, the girl quickly introduced herself.

“My name is Miku, and I’m a resident of Kano Village. The lady upstairs is my grandmother.”

"She is the guardian of the forest entrance, and has been guarding this place for forty years."

They learned from the girl that the old man didn't mean to stop Ash and his friends from entering; he just needed to give them a few words of advice.

"If you hear the sound of the forest, you must stay where you are and not wander off."

The old lady made a request that sounded like a strange, uncanny rule.

"The sound of the forest?" Xiaoxia asked, puzzled.

“It’s a legend from the village,” Miku continued, explaining to them.

"Although it is difficult to describe, once you hear it, you will definitely understand that it is the sound of the entire forest."

Still leaving Ash and his friends completely confused, "Pikachu, did you understand?"

"Pikachu, Pikachu." Pikachu shook its head.

At this moment, the old man in the treehouse came down and walked in front of Ash and his friends.

"Anyway, if you don't want to get lost in the forest, you have to do as the legend says."

"Okay, I see."

After hearing Xiaozhi's loud response, the old lady took out the key and opened the gate to the forest for them.

“After you walk out of the gate, just keep walking straight along the road and you will reach the temple where the gods are worshipped.”

Although the old man had a cold expression, he was actually very kind and even told Xiaozhi and the others the location of their destination.

This is very friendly to Ash, who is prone to getting lost.

Deep within the maple forest, there are far more Pokémon than on the outskirts.

Along the way, Ash resisted the temptation to battle while holding the Gold and Silver Balls, and resolutely arrived at the offering location.

This is a small stone temple, which seems to have been neglected for a long time, with moss growing all over the stone platform.

Arriving at the shrine, Ash slowly placed the ball in the shrine's offering spot amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest "Delivery quests are common in Japanese RPGs, right?": Please bring the gold and silver balls to the location designated by Mr. Steel.]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +4000; Stamina +2; Special Attack +2; Free Attribute Points +2]

Then everyone stared nervously at the gold and silver balls...

Unfortunately, nothing happened after a long time.

"Is that guy Steel lying to us?"

"No, wait, the ball might move!"

Just as Rika was getting impatient and wanted to go back, Ash suddenly noticed that the Gold and Silver Balls swayed slightly.

He quickly grabbed Pikachu and jumped off the stone platform, arriving at Xiaoxia and Lihua's side.

The gold and silver balls swung more and more, and finally the balls opened automatically.

A beam of light suddenly shot out from inside and into the sky, instantly illuminating the heavens with dazzling brilliance.

The vibrant colors brightened the eyes of Ash and his friends, and everyone watched the strange event with great anticipation.

Then a passage suddenly opened, and a figure carrying an unknown green Pokémon fell out.

"Ash, look! That's a human!" Misty exclaimed.

Falling from a height, with hard rocks underneath, he'd be in serious trouble if he landed headfirst.

Luckily, Ash was nearby and quickly caught him.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a boy with a bob haircut.

"Such a dazzling entrance, and it's not a beautiful girl?!" Ash was extremely disappointed.

However, the boy looked somewhat familiar; Ash seemed to have seen him somewhere before.

Suddenly, the green Pokémon in the boy's arms opened its eyes, wobbled, and weakly tapped the air with its arm.

Then it quickly disappeared from Xiaozhi's sight.

Ash originally wanted to call out to the Pokémon to heal it, but it moved too fast.

As if time had stopped, it quickly disappeared into the range of the waveguide sensing.

————Life Drop————

At this moment, on the outskirts of the maple forest, in a heavily guarded camp.

Wearing a standard Team Rocket uniform, Kosaburo scrambled into the largest tent in the camp at lightning speed.

"Here he comes! Lord Bishas is here!"

"Little Three, can you not be so flustered?"

"We are now Lord Bishas's direct subordinates, and we cannot disgrace him."

He was greeted at the door by his old partner, Amado, but she seemed a little unhappy with Kosaburo's embarrassing actions.

“It’s Kosaburo!” Kosaburo also knew that the two of them had been specifically requested by Bishas to be bailed out of prison.

He was especially grateful to be transferred to serve by his side, so he stopped wasting words with Amado and went straight to Bishas's position.

"Lord Bishas, ​​the instruments have finally detected the fluctuations of the opening of the spacetime tunnel."

"The target, the Shri, has really appeared!"

The large chair that had been facing away from them suddenly turned around, and a tall man wearing a strange mask immediately stood up happily.

"Well done, Kojiro. You two truly deserve to be called Team Rocket's Machine Masters, on par with Kojiro and the others."

Bishas patted Kosaburo hard on the shoulder.

"It wasn't for nothing that Boss Sakaki and I specially brought you all here."

"It's Kosaburo~"

This time his voice was so soft it was barely audible, and Bishas, ​​of course, ignored his subordinate's irrelevant rebuttal.

Instead, he turned to the map of the maple forest and revealed a ferocious smile.

"Amadou and Little Three, go and open the blockade immediately."

"And give the order: stop moving in small teams, have all members split into four groups and set off along the forest to search!"

"We must find the shrine brigade!"

"Yes!" X2

Kojiro and his two companions were also there outside the camp.

"Meow, something's wrong with James. It looks like they're going to mobilize the whole team later. Have you informed Ash yet?"

Looking at the busy Team Rocket members around him, Musashi suddenly felt something was wrong.

The three of them were suddenly summoned by Sakaki to the vicinity of the maple forest a week ago.

Although they informed Ash before leaving and asked Sundae to temporarily take over their business in Johto.

However, the trio never expected that once they arrived at Bishas's camp, they would never find another opportunity to send a message to Ash.

All I can do is stay here and miserably help Bishas debug the equipment.

Ash was puzzled as to why the trio had lost contact, but the system showed that they were in good condition.

They planned to investigate Kojiro and the others after resolving the matter of the gold and silver balls.

Unexpectedly, they are now in the maple forest.

Team Rocket combatants in the camp were divided into pairs and skillfully climbed onto the spider-shaped machines that had been prepared in advance.

They paired off in pairs, setting off in a grand procession into the depths of the forest.

Now, an opportunity has finally presented itself at the heavily guarded Team Rocket camp.

Taking the opportunity to change into the clothes of ordinary Team Rocket members, Kojiro quickly pulled Jessie and Meowth up onto a spider-shaped robot.

The three of them were true masters of disguise; their performance was so natural and fluid that none of the Team Rocket members around them noticed anything amiss.

Even when they were about to leave the camp, Yamado and Kosaburo, who were issuing the mission at the gate, shouted "Be careful on the road!"

"Meow, we will!"

"Meow?" Kosaburo immediately sensed something was wrong.

But after thinking about it for a while, I thought, "Whatever!"

I'm just a lowly subordinate now, so I'd better finish the mission quickly and go back to report to Bishas.

They successfully slipped out of the camp, but their departure was fraught with difficulties due to their lack of experience operating the robotic spiders.

However, they eventually managed to get quite a distance away from the camp.

Kojiro carefully observed his surroundings and only sent a message to Ash after confirming that everything was alright.

Chapter 225 The Boy Who Traveled Through Time

"Xiao Zhi, what should we do now?"

When Xiaoxia opened the gold and silver spheres, a person fell out, leaving her unsure of what to do.

"Looking at how weak he is, I hope nothing bad has happened to him."

"So he was also caught by a Poké Ball?" Rika asked curiously as she leaned closer.

"It shouldn't be. It seems that the Gold and Silver Balls simply opened a passage, and then he and that green Pokémon fell out together."

After retrieving the gold and silver balls and putting them away, Ash glanced at the boy with the bob haircut lying on the ground.

Since they appeared along with the time tunnel, they should know some inside information.

"It's not good to just leave him in the forest like this. Let's carry him back to Kane Village first."

Then the boy received the treatment of being carried in a sack, being bumped along on Ash's shoulder all the way back to the old lady's wooden cabin outpost.

However, the old lady wasn't there, and her granddaughter was quite surprised to see Ash carrying someone back from the forest not long after he went in.

Quickly have them carry the person inside to rest.

After lying on Grandma Miku's sofa for a while, the boy finally opened his eyes, and everyone quickly gathered around him.

Unexpectedly, the boy opened his eyes and immediately showed a nervous expression, and in his panic, he pushed away Ash, who was closest to him.

"Who are you? I will not hand over the shrine to you!"

Judging from his stressed appearance, he was probably being chased not long ago.

Xiao Zhi naturally has a good solution for this situation.

"If a child is naughty and doesn't behave well, they probably deserve a beating!"

With a single, instantly calming punch, the boy immediately regained his composure. Then, the doctor pinched his philtrum and fed him a healing potion.

The boy finally woke up slowly once again.

"Ouch, my head hurts so much. I think I was just attacked by something..."

"It's an illusion! This is the first time you've woken up." Ash, whose skin is thick enough to stop bullets, said calmly.

"Just stay calm, it's okay, we're not bad people."
