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

"?"

"Are you kidding me? What does this mission even mean?!"

One trillion is an astronomical figure. Even if Xiaozhi added up all the fixed assets of the group, he wouldn't have that much, let alone working capital like deposits.

Xiao Zhi's total monthly income is currently around 200 million Alliance Coins, even without the company expanding its business and with its past channel operations performing well.

Even if we calculate based on the highest return, if Xiaozhi saves 200 million a month, it would take more than 400 years to save up to 1 trillion.

"Damn it, the rewards for regular missions are usually several thousand Alliance Coins."

"And why is the reward of Alliance Coins for completing the mission only increased by one? Who is this supposed to humiliate!"

If they already have a trillion, Ash wouldn't care about this one League Coin.

The most important point is that 252 million Alliance Coins are converted into one percent of the energy. There are too many flaws.

Could we do it the other way around? Ash is willing to exchange one percent of his energy for 252 million League Coins.

Ash's stinginess has really kicked in. If he continues to consume energy at this rate, he'll really be spending money like water during battles.

Let's just pretend we didn't see this task.

At most, I'll give Sundae and Kojiro a good dressing down later. If we can finish it, great; if not, it doesn't matter.

"Perhaps I should try to find a solution from other energy sources."

Ash's first thought was about superpowers, since he still had a mission to complete.

Once you raise the affection and intimacy levels of one of his pinkish-purple Hakimi to 50, you can unlock your superpower.

With two different blue bars supplying energy, the energy shortage problem should be greatly alleviated.

It's a pity that although Mewtwo's affection level has reached 70, its intimacy level is still only 40.

Hakimi is not friendly at all; he's a real bad guy.

When I let the Pokémon out together, Mewtwo always stays inside its ball and refuses to come out.

What does Mewtwo actually like?

Instead of figuring it out himself, Ash decided to ask it directly, summoning the pinkish-purple Hakimi from the snow.

"What?"

Mewtwo has never been very friendly about Ash calling it out.

Although its body will obediently follow Ash's commands every time, it will always show its resistance verbally, which makes it quite a tsundere.

"Mewtwo, I want to become loving and affectionate with you. Tell me how I can do that!"

"what?"

Ash's question left Mewtwo speechless.

"Never!"

"Our relationship will only get better when you get hit by a meteorite!"

"What a strange question!" Mewtwo's face immediately turned cold, and it wanted to go back into its Poké Ball.

Suddenly, Ash and Mewtwo looked up and saw a meteorite hurtling towards Ash's location.

"What? How is this possible!" Mewtwo looked at Ash in disbelief, while Ash was equally dumbfounded.

Mewtwo really just said it offhand, and Ash really didn't do anything.

Where did this meteorite come from?

However, seeing that the meteorite was about to hit Ash, Mewtwo, despite his reluctance, used his psychic powers to stop it.

Then Mewtwo immediately returned to its Poké Ball, and the meteorite wobbled and landed in front of Ash.

It was then that Ash realized this was not an ordinary meteorite, but a large block of ice, inside which was a Sun Seed.

"Why would a sunflower seed fall from the sky?"

The commotion caused by the falling meteorite attracted the attention of the surrounding creatures, who all gathered around the frozen sunflower seed to observe it.

Suddenly, a strong wind picked up, and the light snow that had been falling slowly began to intensify, showing signs of developing into a blizzard.

"That's strange, the weather forecast said there wouldn't be any heavy snow this month." Xiaoxia looked at the thick clouds in the sky with great confusion.

Because of the existence of Psychic-type Pokémon in the Pokémon world that can predict the future, weather forecasts are always very accurate.

But now that the blizzard has really arrived, Ash and Misty have no choice but to quickly recall their Pokémon into their Poké Balls.

"Ash, according to the markings on the map, the only Pokémon Center in this entire mountain range is on the highest snow-capped mountain. Let's go there and hide for a while."

Ash nodded as he looked at the sunflower seeds frozen into ice on the ground.

“It’s a big problem if Grass-type Pokémon are kept frozen. It’s a good time to take the child to the Pokémon Center for treatment.”

Seeing that Ash agreed, Misty quickly packed her bags and prepared to leave, while Ash continued to look up at the sky.

"Xiao Zhi, what are you doing?"

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

At this moment, Misty and Pikachu came to urge Ash to set off.

"When Mewtwo and I looked up just now, we saw a familiar tail fin between the clouds in the sky, but it was too far away for my waveguide perception to observe it."

"Perhaps the appearance of the sunflower seed is related to it, but now the clouds are thick and I can't even find the figure from before."

Abnormal weather, and suddenly frozen sunflower seeds fall from the sky.

Moreover, Ash had a feeling that something was about to happen because of that familiar blue tail fin he had just seen.

Chapter 258 Articulated Bird

As the blizzard intensified, Ash and Misty, carrying Sunseed, ran all the way to the Pokémon Center located on the mountainside.

The Pokémon Center is not large; it's just a small wooden hut, but the workmanship is quite exquisite, and there's a plaque at the entrance.

"The highest-altitude Pokémon Center, the last chance to recover my strength..."

"This is the place, Xiaozhi!" Xiaoxia was just about to knock on the door.

Unexpectedly, a person on a snowmobile suddenly arrived in a hurry. Judging from her hairstyle, she seemed to be Officer Jenny.

Just as she was about to crash into the signboard, she managed a quick drift and brakes, finally coming to a stop.

The splashing snowflakes covered Xiaoxia's face.

"Pah, pah, pah, what kind of person is that..."

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't expect that trainers would come in such bad weather, so I lost control of the car."

Officer Jenny's voice was full of youthful energy, yet it sounded very familiar to Ash.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that this Officer Jenny, who was taller than the average Officer Jenny, was indeed an old acquaintance.

"Miss Meiqi?"

"Oh, Ash, Misty, and Pikachu, it's you guys!"

"What a coincidence, to run into each other here."

The other person took off their goggles and mask, revealing a pretty face with a playful smile.

It was indeed Officer Jenny, whom Ash and his friends knew.

"So, Ash, want to battle?"

"My Skarmory and I have become much stronger, and this time we will definitely not lose to your Rockruff again!"

Officer Jenny is also a battle fanatic; the first thing she thought of when she saw Ash was to challenge him to a battle.

But before Ash could respond, another voice suddenly came.

"That won't do! Do you know there's a blizzard outside right now?!"

It turned out that the door to the Pokémon Center had opened, and an angry Nurse Joy had come out.

"Oh dear, how could this be? There shouldn't be any Pokémon left on the mountain."

As soon as she saw Ash holding a Sun Seed that had been frozen into an ice cube, she quickly welcomed them into the center.

The sun seed is given to Nurse Joy to take you to get treatment, and Ash and his friends go to the campfire in the center to warm themselves.

At this moment, Meiqi also brought over a cup of hot cocoa for Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia.

"By the way, Miss Meiqi, what are you doing here?"

Taking the hot drink she was offered, Xiaoxia no longer cared about what had just happened, but instead became curious as to why Officer Jenny would appear in a Pokémon Center high in the mountains.

"Hehe, well..." Meiqi sat down and suddenly took out a small notebook from her pocket with a smug look on her face.

"Look, I went through so much trouble to get this!"

Everyone quickly looked over and saw that it was actually a prosecutor's license.

"Meiqi, you've become a prosecutor?"

"Yes, Champion Adu pushed for an increase in the number of prosecutors in the league. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I signed up immediately."

"I took the test nine times in a row! I really put in so much effort, waaaaah... I hate exams the most!"

"Oh dear, the prosecutor's exam is notoriously difficult, it's amazing that Meiqi passed..." Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi quickly comforted her.

She was so proud of herself just a moment ago, but then she suddenly started crying.

Speaking of prosecutors, Ash used to know a prosecutor named Nurse Joy who had Latias with her. He wondered how she was doing now.

Moreover, it seems that little Joey easily passed the prosecutor's license test on a single, casual attempt when he was a child.

"The gap is quite large."

After looking at Meiqi, Xiaozhi decided it was best not to tell her about this sad thing.

"Meiqi, are you on a mission here right now?"

“That’s right, Xiaoxia, I can’t really be considered a formal Alliance Prosecutor yet.”

"I still need to complete an assessment task, which is why I'm here."

"What kind of mission is it?"

But as soon as the words left her mouth, Xiaoxia immediately realized that this was not a good question and quickly changed her mind.

"Oh, I'm sorry to have troubled you, Meiqi. This kind of thing should be confidential, right?"

"No, it's nothing. This kind of assessment task isn't confidential." Meiqi quickly waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing serious.

"What I'm investigating is actually the reason for the recent abnormal weather in the Snow Mountain area."

"Now, these high-intensity blizzards are hitting the entire mountain range from time to time. The climate imbalance has caused the Pokémon on the mountain to run down to the bottom of the mountain to take refuge."

"It also caused some unrest in the town, and according to our intelligence, it seems that this may have been caused by someone."

"Man-made?" Xiaoxia was immediately shocked.

"Is it really possible? This isn't just Snow Mountain; the entire mountain range has been affected." Ash was also a little incredulous.

Although in the Pokémon world, humans always manage to come up with all sorts of amazing inventions with incredible effects.

However, most of those amazing inventions were developed by massive evil organizations that invested huge sums of money.

Xiao Zhi didn't think he could just find it on any mountain with nothing in it.

"Well, I wasn't very convinced at first either."

Then, Miki took out a photo from her pocket and showed it to Ash and the others. The photo showed a huge black shadow.

If you look closely, you can even see the metallic sheen on it.

"However, we have received reports from nearby residents that someone saw a group of suspicious people driving a huge machine up the mountain."

"Then the weather started to become erratic from then on, and this photo was provided by the residents."

"I came here to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Is there anything here that would warrant the prisoners using such large machinery?" Xiao Zhi was puzzled.

It's unbelievable that some people actually go to great lengths to do bad things in a place like this.
