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

……

"Mumpfish is unable to fight, Tailwing wins!"

[Ding! Aogu Yan: Favorability +1; Intimacy +1]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved the achievement "Enemy of Mudkip": successfully defeated Mudkip ten times!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +2000; Free Attribute Points +2; Pikachu Cute Plush Toy Suit +1]

"Ah, how could they be so strong? I've been completely and utterly defeated..."

Archie knelt on the ground, his entire body turning ashen.

Ash could have argued that losing to Pikachu in the first two rounds was due to type disadvantage and experience difference, but it's not honorable for Ash to win against a new Pokémon with an old one, nor is it the act of a hero.

But after losing the next eight games to Aoguyan, Archie had no excuse left.

Even during those eight battles, Ash kept throwing healing items to Archie.

As for his own proud swallow, he never recovered his strength even once from the relentless battle.

Even under these circumstances, he and Mudkip were still completely defeated.

Despite enduring so many water gun attacks, the proud swallow remained standing in the air like a war god, crushing the morale of Archie and Mudkip.

Now, whenever Mudkip hears Spasba's voice, it wants to lie down and expose its belly to surrender.

"Mutant, are you alright?"

Archie, who had lost his tenth match, quickly carried the unconscious Mudkip off the battlefield.

"Don't worry, it's just a little injured. It'll be fine after a rest."

"However, Archie, you were wrong to say that the Petalburg Gym was not good enough."

"Because even I haven't been able to defeat the trainers at Petalburg Gym."

Although the battle was interrupted halfway through, Qianli's strength was undeniable.

Upon hearing that even Ash hadn't beaten the Petalburg Gym Leader, Archie's eyes immediately filled with shock.

"What? Even a powerful trainer like Ash can't handle this... It seems the Petalburg Gym is quite a challenge."

"Yes, not counting my sister, my dad is really something else!"

"I'm so sorry, Xiaosheng!"

"Ah~"

With Ash standing up for the Petalburg Gym, the siblings felt a sense of relief.

"I understand. I will work even harder to improve my skills in order to obtain the Orange Blossom Badge!"

"I must catch both the Zigzagoon and the Treecko in the Good Forest!"

"Okay, I understand... Wait a minute, Treekie!"

Ash was nodding with relief when he saw Archie suddenly realize his mistake, but then he caught the word Treecko.

In an instant, Ash appeared in front of Archie and lifted him up from the ground.

"Yes, yes."

Archie was startled when he saw Ash suddenly transform into a completely different person the moment he touched a Pokémon, and hurriedly said in a panic.

"I came to Petalburg Woods because when I stayed at the Pokémon Center, I heard that there seemed to be a group of Treecko living under the big trees deep in this forest, so I came to explore."

"Wow, wild starter Pokémon are quite rare, Ash! Let's go to the forest together to find Treecko!"

"Of course, how could we miss out on Treekia?"

"Ah~, I really want to go to the city as soon as possible and breathe in the air there." Xiaoyao is a city girl, after all.

Unfortunately, Ash showed absolutely no mercy when it came to such matters.

"This is no time for Xiaoyao to talk about this!"

"Yes, sister, that's a Treekia, a Treekia!"

May's weak objections were completely ineffective, and Ash and Max immediately decided to head deeper into the forest first.

Chapter 355 Reunion

"That concludes the message sharing. Thank you, Ash, for battling with me. I'll take my leave now!"

"Pokémon—Big Transformation!"

Before he finished speaking, Archie quickly put on his previous snake-patterned bear skin suit and dashed into the forest like a gust of wind.

"What a strange person."

As Archie left, May suddenly tiptoed to Ash's side and hugged him tightly.

"Hehe, Ash, thank you for standing up for me this time."

[Ding! Xiaoyao: Affection +2]

May's thank-you hug was so overwhelming that even Ash couldn't handle it.

Although she is usually very easygoing and doesn't pay much attention to the difference between men and women when it comes to Ash.

But her stunningly fair complexion still irresistibly drew Ash's attention.

Suppressing the urge to pinch him, Xiao Zhi coughed lightly.

"Xiaoyao, that's not what I want to hear you say. You absolutely cannot be as carefree as before."

"Well, I know."

Xiaoyao clenched her fist again, remembering how she had lost to Archie before.

"I absolutely do not want to lose the next match!"

"Very good, that's the spirit."

Xiao Zhi nodded with satisfaction, then looked around.

"May and Torchic are just too inexperienced. They should observe my battles more often to learn basic combat skills."

Although Archie is strange, he did do a good deed by helping Ash and his friends get to this plaza.

There were many trainers in the square, and Ash was itching to take a look.

"This is a rare opportunity. Let's have a good battle before we go looking for Treekia."

After restoring Taillow's strength, Ash immediately transformed into a social terrorist, challenging each of the other trainers present.

Meanwhile, May quickly followed behind him with Torchic and Max, transforming into eager learners, ready to diligently study every single one of his battles.

They were afraid of missing Teacher Xiaozhi's "secret teaching".

"Sister, Ash is an excellent trainer that even Dad acknowledges. You must learn from him."

"Of course I know that, and there must be many rules among Pokémon trainers that are unknown to outsiders. I've wanted to know that for a long time."

Before embarking on her trip, May crammed on reading a lot of urban legends about Pokémon trainers.

"Like how trainers will forcibly enter a battle as soon as their eyes meet, how money will mysteriously appear in the pockets of the trainer who wins the battle, and how the trainer's vision will immediately go black when all their Pokémon are unable to battle..."

She's always been incredibly curious.

"No, no, no, sister, these are just rumors spread by people who aren't trainers."

"Pokémon trainers are just ordinary humans at heart, there's no need to be so mysterious about them."

"is it?"

Then, to their astonishment, Xiao Zhi casually pulled over a standing stranger.

"Hey, now that we've locked eyes, let's have a Pokémon battle!"

"Oh no, Ash, that's not right. It's so rude!" Max exclaimed in surprise.

But to everyone's surprise, the man who had been roughly dragged over by Ash was not angry at all; instead, he excitedly took out a Poké Ball.

"Hmph, my companions are already itching for a fight, come quickly!"

And so began a thrilling Pokémon battle.

"Xiaosheng, it's a rumor..."

"Haha, this is the camaraderie between Pokémon Trainers, sister."

"Your transfer was too abrupt!"

……

Ash had a great time that day, having challenged every trainer in the entire plaza.

"Proud Swallow, peck attack!"

"Beedrill, get out of the way! Use your poison sting to counterattack!"

On the battlefield, the Turtle made a rapid forced landing, and then its sharp beak was aimed at the Beedrill's abdomen and launched a fierce attack.

Beedrill tried to dodge but failed. Ash's Taillow completely outpaced Beedrill in speed, and its aerial maneuvering ability was also extremely strong.

Beedrill's movement speed was completely insufficient to dodge the attack, and it was hit squarely by Taillow's peck attack, losing the fight instantly.

[Ding! Congratulations to Aoguyan for learning a new skill: Pecking (Power is twice that of a peck attack. If the target is carrying a berry, it will consume the target's berry and gain the berry's effect.)]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved the achievement "Hoenn Domination (Part 1)": Achieve a 50-game winning streak in the Hoenn region!]

【获得奖励：联盟币+5000；攻击+3；特攻+3；自由属性点+3；地区威望+5】

"Wow, Ash and Swellow won again! Counting the ten times they fought Archie before, he has won a total of fifty games!"

Watching Ash shake hands with his opponent after the battle, Max and May clapped their hands until they were red, cheering for the fight.

"Yes, the handshakes between trainers expressing friendship after a fierce battle really have a youthful feel to them!"

"Xiaoyao, is this all you think after watching so many matches?"

At this moment, Ash, carrying Swellow perched on his arm and Pikachu on his shoulder, came to their side.

Ash was in a great mood because Taillow had learned a new skill.

While looking at Ash's stern face, which resembled that of a teacher, Xiaoyao playfully stuck out her tongue.

Of course, she wasn't slacking off; May had learned quite a few battle techniques from Ash's many battles.

At least I won't be standing there like a fool at the start of a match like before.

"Speaking of which, Ash, you've already battled all the trainers around here. Shouldn't we go find Treecko?"

Of all the starter Pokémon, Katakuri's favorite is Treecko, so he's always been longing for it.

"But Archie said there are geckos deep in the forest, but nobody knows exactly where they are. Why don't we head to the next city first and look for them later?"

"Sister, with your current strength, what are you going to do for the upcoming gym battles? You should probably accumulate more experience in the forest!"

"Ah, a dojo competition..." Haruka's lips twitched.

"Oh well, we'll find a way eventually. I just don't want to sleep on the floor anymore!"

"I want to sleep in a soft bed!"

"No, we need to find the Treekie first!"

Seeing that the siblings were about to start arguing again, Xiao Zhi quickly intervened and separated them.

"Alright, you two, I remember the Navigator said there's a Pokémon Center nearby."

"Let's go there first today, so that Haruka can sleep in a bed, and Masaru can try to gather some information about Treecko there."

The siblings exchanged a glance.

"Agreed!" ×2

And so, Ash and his friends quickly arrived at the nearest Pokémon Center.

But as soon as Ash and his friends entered, before they could even ask Nurse Joy if there were any rooms available, they immediately heard a commotion.

"Are you kidding me!"

"What do you mean this place is mainly for treating Pokémon and can't treat humans? My face is covered in so many scars!"
