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

If this were used in a formal Grand Contest, Nightshade would definitely deduct a lot of points from Haruka.

"However, Shadow Fist can't hurt Cattail, right? So, Night Spirit is only doing this for show?"

"Haha, bespectacled brat, you're quite knowledgeable."

"That's right. Normal and Ghost types are mutually immune to each other, but our Shadow Punch wasn't originally designed to attack Skitty."

"Now! Night Spirit, use Brick Break!"

"Oh no, Skitty, get out of the way!" Haruka finally realized what was happening.

But at this moment, the fist shadows attacking from above and below had already passed through Xiangwei Miao's body. Although they did not cause any damage, the eerie phantoms still enveloped all of Xiangwei Miao's vision.

Hakimi's underlying stress response was instantly activated, and the tailed cat began to turn its head and wave its little hands repeatedly, trying to shake off the phantom of the shadow fist.

But whenever a hand touches its head, it immediately starts licking its fur or spinning uncontrollably, completely ignoring Xiaoyao's command to dodge.

Even though Dusknoir is extremely slow, it has already arrived directly in front of Skitty and unleashed a powerful Brick Break, which proved highly effective.

The cat was instantly knocked out of the gray phantom's range and flew backward, rolling three times on the sand in the park.

"Well done, Nightshade, let's take the victory!"

"Dream on, Skiptail Cat, stand up!"

"Meow!"

The cheeky cat quickly stood up again in the sand. After shaking its body vigorously to shake off all the sand, it swiftly jumped back to the battlefield.

There was absolutely no indication that he had just taken a heavy blow.

This greatly surprised the masked messenger on the other side.

"What? How is this possible? It's just a Skitty, yet it survived a Brick Break from a Dusknoir unscathed?"

Masked Messenger is very confident in his training of his Pokémon.

In his estimation, a baby Pokémon like Skitty should have been unable to battle after taking a Brick Break.

But now he's lively and energetic...

In response, Xiaoyao immediately turned to the side and struck a cool pose, pointing at the other party.

"Hmph, Skitty is my Pokémon, May! Don't underestimate the bond between us!"

"Wow, sister, you actually plagiarized Ash's lines like this."

"Shut up now, Xiaosheng!"

However, even the Masked Messenger felt pressured by Haruka's antics, realizing he could no longer underestimate her and her Skaven.

The main reason is that the Masked Messenger doesn't understand May's usual Pokémon training process; she has been training Pokémon alongside Ash all along.

Naturally, Skitty's stamina and defense were maxed out, and the Evolution Stone bought from Ash also greatly increased Skitty's defense.

Xiaoyao's Hakimi has always been an incredibly durable Hakimi.

At this time, the Masked Messenger also rallied his forces.

"Even so, I don't believe that Obsidian can withstand a few more attacks from Nightshade. In the end, we will definitely win."

"Then bring it on and try!"

As the trainers exchanged harsh words, Dusknoir and Skitty once again locked in a heated exchange.

Just as the two decided to have a five-hundred-round battle, a luxury car suddenly stopped at the entrance of the park.

A plump, red-haired middle-aged woman with a green amulet around her waist and adorned with jewels came down from inside with an imposing air.

Ash was instantly drawn to the energy emanating from the green amulet and immediately looked towards the park entrance.

"A jade-green stone slab, I actually found it here?"

Ash had previously seen the scenery of each stone tablet in his universe from Arceus, and he remembered them all thanks to his powerful memory.

However, many of these places were places that Ash had never been to before, so he couldn't identify their exact locations.

Although he drew the scene and had his men find it, it was still very difficult to locate the place using only one scene.

Moreover, some stone slabs have owners. For example, this aunt is one of the stone slab owners that Xiaozhi remembers seeing.

For some reason, the masked messenger was immediately terrified upon seeing the aunt, hastily and fearfully withdrawing his wandering spirit and turning to run away.

"Oh no, that's it for today's battle. Let's fight again next time!"

However, the aunt ran very fast, quickly rushing from the doorway to the open space and grabbing the masked messenger's hand.

"So you're the Masked Messenger, aren't you? Tell me! You bastard, where did you take my adorable son Kimimaro? Tell me now!"

The masked messenger appeared tiny in front of the burly aunt, and he dared not resist her grasp.

"I don't know any Kimimaro, let go!"

The masked messenger struggled desperately and finally managed to break free from the fat woman's grasp.

However, during the struggle, a ballpoint pen clipped to his chest fell off.

But the masked messenger had no time to care about any of that; he was only concerned with taking the opportunity to flee for his life.

When the aunt saw the pen that the masked messenger had dropped, she was also stunned.

She picked up the pen, examined it carefully, and then instantly flew into a rage.

"This is my son Kimimaro's pen... That despicable masked messenger really corrupted my lovely son!"

The red-haired aunt suddenly turned around and pulled Ash and the others to her side.

"This lady is an amazing strongwoman," Xiao Zhi commented.

"Who's the auntie? Call me Ms. Kimiyo!" Kimiyo shouted forcefully at Ash and his friends.

"What is your relationship with that masked messenger? Are you accomplices? What are you going to do to my son Kimimaro? Tell me! Tell me!"

"Calm down, Ms. Kimishiro. The Masked Man was just challenging us."

Haruka, who was closest to Kimiyo, was being shaken around by the shoulders. Her eyes were filled with stars from the shaking, and she finally had a chance to speak and explain.

Upon hearing this, Jundai quickly put Xiaoyao down and apologized apologetically.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I was too hasty."

"However, what is the relationship between that masked messenger and your son Kimimaro, Lady Kimishiro?"

In order to get closer to the emerald green stone slab, Ash immediately struck up a conversation.

Upon hearing Ash's question, Kimiyoshi immediately covered her face with her large hand, which was adorned with jeweled rings, and began to cry.

"Listen to me, actually, a while ago, my lovely son Kimimaro suddenly started skipping school and not going to tutoring for some reason."

“He’s a very well-behaved child, he’s never been like this before, so I spent a lot of money to hire a private investigator to investigate in detail.”

"As a result, it was discovered that no matter where Kimimaro went, the Masked Messenger would appear there..."

"That child must have been deceived by the Masked Messenger and led to do bad things!"

"My Kimimaro is destined to inherit my business and become the company president. It wouldn't be good if he were led astray by others and started liking Pokémon!"

"I absolutely will not allow my child to come into contact with any Pokémon!"

Thinking of this, Kimiyo's crying grew even louder, as if she really disliked Pokémon.

"Is liking Pokémon a bad thing?" Ash couldn't understand why King Dye would have such a thought. This is the world of Pokémon, after all.

But in order to gain more favor with the other party, Ash could only go along with Kimiyoshi's wishes.

"Ms. Kimishiro, as the child of someone as outstanding as you, Kimimaro must also be an exceptional person. Perhaps there's some misunderstanding here?"

"Impossible! It must all be that villain, the Masked Messenger's, fault. I've hated him for years!"

"Many years?" A question flashed through Xiaozhi's mind. "The masked messenger just now didn't seem to be very old."

Just then, Kimiyo suddenly noticed the snail-like cat in Haruka's arms, immediately jumped up from the park bench, and forcefully pressed down on Haruka's shoulder, startling her.

"You guys are Pokémon Trainers, right? Please, help me find out the true identity of the Masked Messenger."

"I am the richest man here, and I will definitely give you a generous reward!"

"Ah, this..." Xiaoyao looked troubled.

However, Ash's eyes lit up when he heard about the generous gift.

His gaze quickly swept over the emerald green stone slab at Jundai's waist and the jewels on her hands.

"Even without considering the Slate of Arceus, these gems are all incredibly valuable!"

The muscular man suddenly understood.

"Please entrust this matter to me, Ms. Kimiyoshi!"

"Today, my companions and I will definitely uncover the true identity of the Masked Messenger!"

"In return, you only need to give me that green amulet around your waist."

"Amulet?" Kimiyo was taken aback for a moment before remembering what Satoshi had said.

"That's something I just picked up from the grass when I was young. It's nothing valuable. Are you sure you want it?"

"Of course!" Ash said with a righteous expression.

"I simply wanted to help Ms. Kimiyo; asking for money is not something a distinguished young man from the League should do!"

[Ding! Kimiyo: Affection +20]

"My God, what a reliable child!" Kimiyo was immediately moved.

With all his current buffs, Ash's words are extremely effective at eliciting strong reactions from middle-aged women.

Kimiyo almost instantly placed all her trust in Satoshi, entrusting him with this incredibly important task.

However, after looking Xiaozhi and his group up and down, she immediately pulled them all into her luxury car and took them back to the villa.

"Why are you children so dirty? It's unbearable to look at. Come to my house and change."

Now Ash and his friends no longer need to go to the Pokémon Center; they've been lured away by the strange auntie right off the street.

As expected of the richest woman in Green Shade, Kimiyo has her own private road in town, reserved exclusively for her car, and other vehicles are not allowed to enter.

The extended luxury limousine sped along, returning to the luxurious estate of Jundai in just a few minutes.

Wow, it's huge!

Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng were immediately amazed by the scene before them as soon as they got off the bus.

However, Ash had seen James's villa before, so he wasn't too surprised.

After they changed and washed, accompanied by servants arranged by Jundai, they were taken together to the living room of the large villa.

Kimiyo was about to explain the Masked Messenger to Satoshi and the others in detail, but unexpectedly, when they passed by, Kimimaro, the son Kimiyo had mentioned, happened to be passing by.

"Kimimaro, why did you skip class again today? Where did you go?"

Upon seeing her son, Kimiyo immediately reprimanded him sternly, completely unlike the loving mother who had previously shown such deep concern for her child.

Faced with such a domineering mother, Kimimaro indeed displayed a submissive and timid demeanor.

"Without a mother, I just..."

"Don't try to deny it! Did you go to see that masked messenger again? Didn't I tell you not to get involved in anything related to Pokémon?!"

"You're going to be the one to inherit my company, so you should use your free time to study more..."

Kimimaro kept his head down and dared not reply under Kimiyo's accusations, looking quite pitiful.

After a long time, he was finally scolded by his mother and forced to return to his room to finish his heavy studies for the day.

"This scene looks so familiar." Ash felt like he had seen similar scenes frequently in his past life.

"And this familiar waveguide means we're safe."

Ignoring the muscular man who was secretly pleased with himself, Kimiyo finally had time to hand over all the information that the private detective had collected to Satoshi after scolding the child.

"I'm entrusting my Kimimaro to you, Satoshi. You absolutely must find out the true identity of the Masked Messenger!"

After instructing the housekeeper to take good care of Ash and his friends, Kimiyo hurriedly returned to the company to handle official business.

"Ash, do you really have a way to find out the Masked Messenger's true identity today?"

While enjoying the lavish lunch provided by Kimiyo, Haruka couldn't help but ask with concern.
