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

"What did you say!" Xiao Yao immediately sprang to her feet and unleashed her Spinning Divine Skill at Xiao Sheng's temple.

"Your beautiful older sister only weighs 100 pounds, 100 pounds!!!"

"Ah, Ash, help me!"

"You two..." Xiao Zhi chuckled, these siblings were really making a ruckus.

Although May's favorite clothes were quite dirty, Ash could still tell that she was incredibly happy.

At this moment, Ichiro Sawama quickly ran to his younger brother's side and helped him up.

"Jiro, cheer up! Are you alright?"

"Ah~, it's my brother..."

"How could I see your face? Shouldn't my brother be on a trip? Could it be that I've come to heaven... Waaaaah!"

"You're not dead, I just happened to be going home today."

Seeing his younger brother crying so pathetically, Zejian quickly pulled him up.

"Jiro, you're really useless. You can't even protect a novice girl. I'm really worried about you. Have you fulfilled your family responsibilities while I was away?"

"She's hardly a novice girl!"

Upon hearing his brother scold him, Jiro immediately struggled to his feet and retorted unwillingly.

"I've been diligent and meticulous every single day of the past year, without making a single mistake, except today, only today..."

"Meeting Xiaoyao was probably the most unlucky thing that happened to me this year!"

As he spoke, Jiro almost cried.

He was initially very happy to see such a cute girl as Xiaoyao enter the forest earlier that day.

He thought he would be very happy to be with a beauty of this caliber today, but he soon regretted it.

May is completely different from ordinary Pokémon trainers; she is not only extremely violent but also incredibly disobedient.

They often play unpredictably, provoking others during battles and then sending their Pokémon to attack, sometimes even involving the trainer themselves.

Jiro was dumbfounded.

Haruka ran amok in the forest, causing a lot of trouble, and Jiro had to constantly clean up her messes.

All the Pokémon I was carrying were unable to battle, and I was exhausted.

I really don't know where Xiaoyao, who looks so well-behaved, learned this way of doing things from.

Jiro was almost in tears from feeling wronged.

"Oh, is that so?"

After hearing his younger brother's explanation, Sawa looked incredulously at May, who was happily hugging her Poké Ball and swaying around next to Ash.

"She's so cute... You can't judge a book by its cover."

"What do you mean by 'appearance'?"

At this moment, Xiaoyao finally remembered to thank the tour guide.

However, Jiro is now genuinely afraid of Haruka. Whenever she gets close, Jiro immediately hides behind his older brother in fright.

"No, no, my brother just said he admires you a lot."

"Haha, really?" Xiaoyao scratched her head sheepishly.

"I really need to thank him; he helped me a lot along the way."

"Uh... no need to be polite." (Very quietly) Jiro didn't dare to look at Haruka at all.

Xiaoyao blinked her eyes, not taking his strange appearance to heart, and happily ran back to Xiaozhi's side.

At this moment, Jiro finally spoke again.

"Brother, I've made up my mind, I want to go on a trip too!"

Although he suffered a lot along the way, Sawama was right about one thing.

Jiro really admired Haruka; her composure and ability to act in the face of crisis captivated him.

Jiro felt like he was doomed during several Pokémon rampages.

But May was able to calmly command her Pokémon in the face of danger, allowing Mushroom and Torchic to successfully quell the Pokémon.

Although May was the one who caused those Pokémon riots, she was much braver than the average Pokémon Trainer.

That calm and confident demeanor, as if she'd seen it all before, is truly captivating.

While feeling ashamed of himself, Jiro desperately wanted to get closer to Haruka, even though she seemed to only have eyes for others, and even though it would leave him with a lot of trouble...

After listening to his younger brother's words, Zejian silently patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry I misunderstood you earlier, Jiro. If you've really made up your mind, then I will naturally support you."

"Actually, I came back this time to take over from you. You've worked so hard this past year. Now, go ahead and do whatever you want to do."

"elder brother!"

"Jiro!"

The Sawa brothers embraced and wept.

After seeing their disheveled and crying appearance, Ash, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, decided that he should no longer let May act alone.

After spending so much time with me, Haruka has become a real devil.

Chapter 376 Mushroom Evolution

The day after May caught the Wurmple, Ash and his friends boarded a luxury speedboat and embarked on their journey to Dew Island.

The journey was quite pleasant, with calm seas and sunny skies.

Ash went up to the deck of the speedboat, picked up four rings in one hand, and threw them into the air.

The Turtle, which had been waiting in mid-air for a long time, quickly swooped down in an arc, hitting the rings one after another and knocking them back to Ash's position.

"Well done, Aoguyan! Your aim is superb, but you need to be a little faster!"

"Spar!"

Ash is currently training Taillow with a new Flying-type move, U-turn.

As a Flying-type Pokémon, Taillow's Flying-type moves are severely lacking in both power and quantity.

Although Taillow has amazing perseverance and is often used by Ash as a meat shield, it has always had an offensive heart.

Every now and then, Taillow would come to protest to Ash, saying that it was too much to treat it like that in battle. It has a high ability to withstand damage, so you can't just make it take all the damage.

"Spa, Spa~"

After sensing Taillow's will, Ash fully respected the Pokémon's idea and decided to train its offensive abilities.

The first step is to teach Swallow Return with Taunt, and then use that as a foundation to master powerful Flying-type moves like Brave Bird.

Once Ash and his friends make a decision, they immediately devote themselves to it wholeheartedly, so they don't miss any opportunity to train, even while traveling.

Similarly, May was training her Pokémon on the other side.

The news about Musashi really spurred Haruka on, motivating her to put on a strong performance in the next Grand Tournament.

"Since we've decided to participate, we must aim for victory!"

"Turkeys, mushrooms, worms, is everyone ready?"

"Chama!"

"Mushroom!"

"..."

"Spiny tailworm..."

The first two little cuties responded enthusiastically to Xiaoyao's call, but the worm looked sleepy the whole time, as if it had eaten its fill.

Xiaoyao's stinging beetle has shown an amazing appetite ever since the night it was captured.

It not only ate all the Pokémon food prepared for it in one go, but also ate all the food in the bowls of its other companions.

For a moment, Ash thought he had seen Snorlax.

So much so that even though Wurmple isn't a problem child who disobeys its trainer's orders, the fact that it always eats or sleeps whenever it comes out of its Poké Ball still gives May a headache.

"But it does match Xiaoyao's foodie nature quite well."

"No way! I'm not the kind of person who does nothing but eat and sleep!"

Unconvinced, May immediately went to wake up Wurmple and dragged it into the Contest training.

The scene on the deck was vibrant and energetic, with young men and women gathered together, moving towards their respective dreams—a truly touching sight.

Amidst this joyful scene, however, some people seemed rather unhappy.

"Hey guys, is it really appropriate to let a little kid hold the steering wheel of a speedboat so casually?"

While Ash and May were busy training with their Pokémon, Max's resentful voice came from inside the cockpit.

That's right, Xiao Sheng is the only one piloting the entire luxury yacht right now.

Since Ash and May were both on the deck training their Pokémon, only Max was in the cockpit.

Sailing on a calm sea is actually a tedious and arduous task, and Xiao Zhi definitely wouldn't want to do it if he could avoid it.

So he took full advantage of his excellent trainer's initiative, and after teaching Xiaosheng some basic common sense, he immediately handed over his responsibilities!

(Xiaosheng: Do excellent Pokémon Trainers have this kind of initiative?)

"These are all necessary trials in life, Xiaosheng!"

"This is clearly a trial you forced upon me!"

However, this is indeed a sign of Ash's trust in Max.

Thanks to Ash's training, the bespectacled kid has gradually developed muscles in his arms, and with his current strength, maneuvering a speedboat is not a problem.

Ash felt especially at ease knowing that Zz'awk would help him level up his Pokémon navigator for free.

Besides, he has Pikachu watching over him and providing support, so nothing will happen.

But then, the speedboat suddenly began to shake violently, and May quickly picked up her Pokémon and gripped the railing on the deck.

"Oh, Xiaosheng, what happened? Did the boat malfunction because you didn't operate it properly?"

"No, it's because something inexplicably hit the bottom of the ship!"

Unexpectedly, a large group of bright blue dorsal fins suddenly rose from the originally calm sea.

The sharks, their dorsal fins protruding from the water, frantically circled their speedboat, completely surrounding them.

Ash sensed something and thought, "Are these Sharpedoes?"

"Ah, Megalodons! How come there are so many? Have we trespassed into their territory? Sheng, are you sure you didn't drive to the wrong place?"

The speedboat was rocked from side to side by the giant sharks, and Xiaoyao could only continue to hold tightly to the railing.

Xiao Sheng quickly held up the navigator to prove his innocence: "No, I guarantee that I strictly followed the route specified on the navigator."

But his expression as he looked at the surrounding sea was quite solemn.

"Sharknadoes are fierce and territorial, but they are supposed to be solitary Pokémon. How could there be such a large number of them acting together like this!"

Normally, encountering just one of these giant sea monsters on the seabed would be troublesome enough, but now there were at least twenty or thirty of them appearing in dense numbers.

Moreover, although megalodons are generally ferocious, they do not actively target large yachts.

It's unclear why these Sharpedoes would surround Ash and his friends' speedboat. Perhaps they mistook the Pokémon training on the deck for food.

The little cuties were trembling with fear.

Ash and his friends encountered something so extremely rare; it's hard to say whether they were lucky or unlucky.

At this point, the ship began to rock violently again, and the megalodon sharks started tearing at the bottom of the hull.

"Oh no, Ash, Sister, think of something quickly! We're still halfway to Fighting Island!"

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
