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

He picked up Sarah and skillfully sat her on her large bed in the room.

The two were snuggled close together, looking very affectionate.

At the banquet, Sarah subtly hinted to Ash that he should come to her room later, and Ash naturally swaggered over.

Of course, this is after activating the aura concealment mode.

Speaking of the coronation ceremony, Sarah rested her head on Ash's shoulder and said to him in a slightly coquettish tone.

"Xiao Zhi, will you stay and be my husband?"

This is a marriage proposal.

However, after the incident at the amusement park, Ash had already decided to take responsibility, so there was no reason for him to refuse.

He nodded firmly, then kissed her, and the two separated after a long while.

But right after the kiss, Ash started quoting his usual lines again.

They got engaged for now because Ash still had a dream to pursue—to become a Pokémon Master—so he wouldn't stop traveling.

However, after leaving a spatial anchor, he will come to see Sarah every few days. The last thing a woman needs to consider when being his woman is whether she will feel empty and lonely.

The only concern is whether my body can handle it.

Although Sarah knew all along that Ash wouldn't stay in Miraju Kingdom because of her, she still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

However, she is not a little girl who doesn't consider her lover. Princess Sarah called Ash over tonight because she wanted to ask him for something else.

Although she is much stronger than her father, she was still a princess protected by her parents just a few days ago. Now she has to stand on her own, so it is inevitable that she has some worries.

"Ash, I wonder if I'll ever be able to become a good king."

"Don't worry, Sarah. Since Togepi has chosen you, you are naturally the most suitable king for Miraju."

"And if your father could sit on the throne for over 20 years, you certainly can too!"

Ash has always had a completely positive view of Sarah.

Because he knew that Sarah was a woman who was much more cunning than she appeared, and in terms of ruling skills alone, she was no less capable than Xiaochun and the others from the powerful families of the Alliance.

Sarah, however, still lacked confidence.

"My father was able to remain on the throne for so long because of the help of my uncle."

"Xiao Zhi, you saw it too. Those nobles at the banquet tonight were incredibly obedient on the surface, but they were all cunning and ruthless behind the scenes."

“During the time when Han Zuo’s uncle served as regent, Father only needed to guard against his uncle; the rest of the palace ministers would be managed by the regent.”

"And now Han Zuo has been imprisoned, and who knows how many people across the country sympathize with him."

Although Ash had already taken precautions to turn Hanzo into Gilluta 2.0, he had done so before.

However, Han Zuo had served as the kingdom's regent for so long, and his influence was deep-rooted. It wouldn't be so easy to completely eliminate his power in a short period of time.

Mirazouri no longer has any suitable candidates to help Sarah manage the country.

The Kingdom of Miraju has a population of 2000 million and an area comparable to Portugal in the previous world.

While the nation's power was growing, internal problems were also accumulating due to the old king's inaction and Han Zuo's chaotic rule.

Although it already has modern products such as television, radio, and Pokémon Centers, its overall technology and living standards are still far behind those of the League Core Area.

Sarah will face a significant challenge in governing this country in the future.

"So, Ash, I'd like to ask you to come with me to manage this country and serve as my regent!"

Sarah's eyes were full of sincerity; Ash's power, both in and out of bed, had deeply captivated her.

Furthermore, she could tell that Ash wasn't very interested in plotting against Miraju's Kingdom, and that the kingdom could be inherited by their children in the future.

Ash doesn't need to stay in the Miraju Kingdom all the time; he only needs to handle some administrative matters when he returns to see Sarah.

With Ash's abilities, whether someone is causing trouble or someone intends to rebel against Sarah's rule, he can resolve the situation quickly in a very short time.

Ash will become Sarah's strongest support and reliance in implementing reforms within the kingdom.

Furthermore, after Ash became regent, his Red Group was able to smoothly enter the Miraju Kingdom.

While helping the kingdom advance its technology, they can also gain considerable profits in the process.

This is a win-win situation.

It was something he could easily agree to, but at this moment, Xiao Zhi had another wicked idea.

He grinned wickedly and pinched Sarah's chin.

"That depends on your performance tonight."

"Whoa, whoa..."

……

On the second day of the coronation ceremony, the capital was packed with people.

After a grand procession of carriages tours the entire city, the new king will be crowned by the high priest of the temple in the highest square of the capital.

However, in this seemingly solemn and dignified occasion, Princess Sarah, who has always been steady and reliable, made a small mistake.

"It's one thing that I almost couldn't get up this morning, but how come there was a hair on the corner of my mouth during the carriage procession? It's so unladylike, Your Majesty Sarah."

Sarah blushed and realized what had happened after being reminded by her closest maid, Miranda, and hurriedly removed the stray hair.

However, Miranda also had some doubts.

"Sarah's hair is so smooth, but why does that one strand look curly, and the color is wrong too..."

"It was the same in the morning. Even though I had just gotten up, I said I was too full to eat breakfast..."

The survival instincts honed through years of navigating the palace suddenly sounded a warning, and Miranda knew she couldn't think too much at a time like this, so she quickly ignored them.

The rest of the process went smoothly. Under the watchful eyes of all the nobles and Ash and his friends, the crown was steadily passed to Sarah's head.

At this moment, Sarah truly became the Queen of the Kingdom of Miraju.

However, what no one expected was that as Princess Sarah completed her coronation ceremony and became Queen Sarah, her first royal decree was a super bombshell.

"Former regent Hanzo was stripped of his royal status after his failed rebellion. He attempted suicide out of fear of punishment but failed and has become an idiot."

"Therefore, the new regent will be Lord Ash Ketchum, one of the heroes who saved the capital and a powerful Pokémon trainer from the Kanto region!"

Chapter 423 Ash in Action

When Ash was announced as regent, everyone was very surprised.

Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng stared wide-eyed in disbelief, but Xiaoxia remained calm.

After all, she had participated in all the battles of the past few days, and in the heat of the moment, she even started calling Sarah "sister" and "brother," and she hadn't even wiped the words "t" off her thighs yet.

Misty was well aware of the relationship between Sarah and Ash.

She wasn't surprised at all that such a thing could happen.

As for Ash, who became the regent, he quickly got into the swing of things.

Previously, Ash had already defeated the entire kingdom's army with a single punch each.

Furthermore, after the battle, Ash rewarded them with varying degrees of rewards based on their performance during the fight.

Although the amounts vary, the guarantees are all very generous.

With this carrot-and-stick approach, the kingdom's army has completely won over and swore allegiance to Ash and Sarah.

Holding both righteousness and military power, they naturally feared no one and were determined to make a big splash from the very beginning.

The first court assembly after the coronation ceremony.

Regent Ash absorbed all the hatred for Sarah, displaying an extremely powerful and domineering demeanor.

The case was immediately launched into a major investigation regarding Han Zuo's rebellion, catching the nobles, who wanted to give the outsiders a hard time, completely off guard.

Ash will not let any of those noble ministers who want to rely on their seniority and plot to sideline Sarah just as they did with the old king.

Today, the two are about to declare that a new era has begun, and those who want to be as arrogant and domineering as before will not be welcome!

Ash showed no mercy to any noble who dared to disobey his and Sarah's orders.

Especially several nobles who had previously been on good terms with Han Zuo.

He went even further, making an example of someone to scare others.

He had already collected evidence of their collusion with Han Zuo a few days earlier.

They even secretly slipped the most fatal evidence onto the person in question.

There are several recorded conversations inside, in which Ash, after activating his Timidity ability, personally infiltrated their royal castle's secret chamber.

I sat down and took notes while these people were talking to their confidants about how to handle their communication with Han Zuo.

Of course, they also secretly placed some extra evidence in their secret room.

At the morning assembly, Xiaozhi publicly announced their crimes, catching them red-handed and throwing them into prison.

This method may be a bit crude and simple, but it works very well.

Those nobles who had been stubbornly refusing to accept their fate were all dumbfounded when they saw Xiao Zhi pull out the tokens they had used to collude with Han Zuo from their shirt pockets.

"How is that possible? Who put it in there?"

Listening to the recordings broadcast by Xiao Zhi and seeing the irrefutable evidence, these bloated nobles suddenly suspected that their trusted confidants had betrayed them.

But no one expected that the culprit was right in front of them.

They were all stunned by Ash's terrifying aura and immediately became spineless.

Just when Ash was about to take drastic measures with a smile, playing the good cop, Sarah stepped in to soften the blow and save them from the death penalty, setting a perfect example of a benevolent ruler.

The two of them, working in tandem and employing both soft and hard tactics, managed to reclaim all the power that the old king had previously delegated.

It solved the most difficult problems after the new emperor ascended the throne: the obstruction of veteran ministers and the problem of centralizing power.

At the same time, by combining strict laws with leniency and wisdom, they established extremely high prestige for the two from the very beginning.

Of course, dealing with these old nobles is only the first step; winning the hearts and minds of the people is the most important aspect of governance.

Ash had naturally planned for this.

As the saying goes, to get rich, build roads first. Chihong Group has ample experience in urban construction and can be described as a master of construction.

Having them do the work will surely contribute to the development of the kingdom.

The capital of the Kingdom of Miraju is quite unique, located on the border yet very safe.

Because outside the capital city is an endless desert, it has no borders with any country or power.

Ash's plan is to build a highway connecting the capital city and the Hoenn League, directly linking the core of both cities.

To promote cultural and economic exchanges between the two sides.

At the same time, efforts are being made to manage this vast desert.

In this way, Ash can complete the great task of expanding the territory of the Miraju Kingdom while ensuring peace.

As for how to manage it, the answer is naturally to combine scientific methodology with Pokémon.

If we're talking about the immense power to transform nature in a short time, nothing is more fitting than the legendary, powerful mythical beasts.

And when it comes to legendary Pokémon, nobody knows them better than Ash! (Know-it-all face)

He has a whopping 16 legendary Pokémon.

In the days that followed, the people in the royal capital were stunned by Ash's antics, with several impressive Pokémon flying out of the palace every day.

Ash also specifically instructed them to act as majestically as possible when flying out of the palace.

So naturally, there was thunder and lightning, a magnificent spectacle that drew gasps of amazement from the crowd.

These legendary Pokémon did not disappoint Ash.

With just a single rain-summoning spell, the two Lugia summoned a massive downpour, easily resolving the sandstorms that had plagued the capital's residents for years.

At the same time, Articuno uses Ice Beam to fix the quicksand, and Zapdos then uses Thunder to blast open the frozen layer, bringing life back to the sand dunes.

Unfortunately, Ash hasn't caught a Moltres yet, so Entei has to step in and use its flames to melt the ice.

Once these prerequisites are met, the rabbi will then take action, sowing the seeds of life in the desert and completely transforming it into a forest.
