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

After hearing Dr. Birch's question, several beams of white light suddenly lit up on the previously dark platform in front of the iron cage.

“I heard you ask, ‘Who are you?’”

"Normally I don't answer, but this time I'm taking pity on you and telling you!"

"To prevent the world from being destroyed."

"To protect the peace of the Earth."

"Carry out the evil of love and truth!"

"A cute and funny villain!"

"Amadou!"

"Kosaburo!"

"We are Team Rocket, traversing the universe."

"Black hole, a pink tomorrow awaits us!"

"Potpot~"

Are they some kind of circus?

Dr. Oda Scroll looked at Yamato and Kosaburo, who were shouting and jumping around, with a face full of black lines.

However, at this moment, Professor Oak, who had been sitting quietly to the side, finally spoke up.

"Odori, they are an evil organization like Team Magma and Team Aqua, a group of villains who like to steal other people's Pokémon."

"They were already driven out of the Kanto and Johto regions by the combined efforts of the two leagues last year, but I didn't expect that Team Rocket would still exist in the Hoenn region."

Professor Oak is now filled with regret.

As a legendary figure, he was caught off guard by Kosaburo and his gang's low-level tactic of using tranquilizer darts, which led to his capture.

He really ruined his reputation in his later years!

Now, not only have all the Poké Balls on his body been taken, but even his important bag has been confiscated.

"Hahaha, say whatever you want."

"Circus or acrobatic troupe, I'd like to thank you all for this amazing gift package from the three major brands!"

This time, the starter Pokémon that Professor Birch and Professor Oak originally led in the Kanto and Hoenn regions have now been taken away by Kosaburo and Yamato.

The two were overjoyed.

"We're still the Rockets' strongest elite team, and we get such a big result with just a casual move!"

"That's right, even after three minor repairs, we're still just as strong!"

"Even this newest branch base was built by just the two of us!"

"You're right... but my name is Kosaburo!"

Ignoring Dr. Odori, who was still shouting for them to leave, Kosaburo pressed the button impatiently, raising the platform beneath their feet to the base's control room.

That's right, this platform was created solely so they could shout out their opening remarks; it serves no other purpose.

Seeing that Yamato and Kosaburo had left, Dr. Oda was completely baffled.

"So those two suddenly appeared just to answer who they are?"

He and Da Mu are some of the most famous doctors in the Alliance. Didn't you think of using torture to get something out of them?

"Well... I guess that opening line is just their peculiar hobby."

Professor Oak awkwardly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had never heard of Team Rocket being so unreliable before.

But now is not the time to think about that. Right now, Professor Oak just hopes that someone will find out that they have been locked up here as soon as possible.

"We haven't been back for so long, the people outside should have started looking for us. But Dr. Birch, we can't just sit here and wait to die."

"I have to find a way to get out of here quickly. If the guy in my bag is found by Team Rocket, it will be a big problem."

"I know, but do you have any good ideas right now, Daiki?"

Although Odamaru has extensive experience in wilderness survival, this is the first time he has encountered a situation like this, where he has been imprisoned here by people from an evil organization.

With his Pokémon stolen, he was at his wit's end and could only pin his hopes on Professor Oak, who was skilled in senryu and had an even better mind.

After a moment of contemplation, Professor Oak immediately nodded confidently.

"Of course, I am Daiki, also known as the Tiger of Kanto."

"I had a premonition that something unexpected might happen while I was eating breakfast this morning, so I hid my secret weapon in advance."

Professor Oak deftly pulled out a handsome photo of himself deep in thought, in a similar setting, and tossed it onto the security camera outside the iron fence.

This effectively blocked the prying eyes of Amado and his group.

“Look closely at Odori. The ground here is actually quite soft. We can use my secret weapon to dig out!”

"Really? As expected of Professor Oak, you're so cool! Hurry up and bring out the secret weapon!"

Then, under Birch's expectant gaze, Professor Oak slowly took it out from his inner pocket...

"Two small iron spoons?"

"This is all we have left, Little Scroll!"

While Professor Oak and his team were working feverishly, Yamato and Kosaburo were happily counting their spoils in the control room.

Completely unaware that the dungeon's surveillance cameras had been obscured by Ōki Tamata.

"Haha, as long as we present these six starter Pokémon, carefully selected by a renowned professor from the League, to our boss, we'll definitely be able to achieve a great feat."

"Let's see if the other branch leaders still dare to say we're two useless people who can't do anything without Xijiana!"

Such a combination of three exceptionally talented starter kits can fetch the highest price.

The thought of receiving praise from Boss Sakaki and even returning to the leadership of the Hoenn branch made Kosaburo burst into laughter.

Even the hands that were checking the two PhDs' luggage moved a little faster without them realizing it.

Amazon was equally happy.

"That's right. Once we've redeemed ourselves and proven ourselves, we're going to pull off a big heist in the Hoenn region and really boost the fame of our Team Rocket Twins."

The Hoenn branch of Team Rocket was thriving every day after Higanbana joined.

However, for some reason, the girl who had always been very diligent suddenly said she had to take on a super important task.

Then he settled down permanently in Yinyu City and took all her direct troops with him.

This forced Amado and Kosaburo to finally take on the tasks they had been leaving to Higana, something they hadn't done in a long time.

As a result, the two, who had been slacking off for a long time, were thrown into chaos as soon as they took over, and then repeatedly messed up important missions due to several incorrect intelligence reports.

Sakaki was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape.

The two, who had made great contributions to establishing the Hoenn branch, were originally very popular figures in front of Boss Giovanni. However, after several major mistakes, they fell out of favor.

"The original purpose of sending you to Hoenn was to steal the Pokémon from that trainer named Ash..."

"It's one thing that the main missions haven't made any progress, considering how well your rocket division is doing, but now you can't even handle ordinary missions?"

"Do you know who our Rockets' biggest clients are right now? Their orders account for half of the organization's monthly profits!"

During the routine video conference of cadres, Yamato and Kosaburo were severely criticized by Boss Sakaki, and even their titles as leaders of the Hoenn branch were stripped away.

They were asked to atone for their sins, and the Hoenn branch was temporarily managed by Higana, the most prestigious member of the branch.

As for who is the mastermind behind the constant misinformation that keeps Yamato and Kosaburo receiving and ruining their missions... well, it's really hard to guess.

It certainly couldn't be our lovely, generous, hardworking, and outstanding Miss Higanbana, who is kind to everyone and loyal to Team Rocket, with a D-cup and a sensitive spot on her neck.

However, such a sudden demotion naturally left Amado and Kosaburo feeling extremely depressed.

Especially when Yamato was demoted, she saw her arch-rival Musashi, who had just received his fourth Order of the Ribbon and was being interviewed on television, along with his two henchmen.

Seeing Musashi's smug and arrogant expression, she was furious.

"Ah, I'm not reconciled! We were both on a secret mission, so why is Musashi getting all the glory!"

So the next morning, Yamado forcibly dragged Kosaburo out for a hot air balloon ride to relax.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Professor Oak and his friends on the way, and then a sneak attack happened.

"Hahaha, this must be a great gift from heaven because they couldn't bear to see us having such bad luck!"

"Hey, Yamato, what's that weird-looking big rock in Professor Oak's bag? What is it?"

At this moment, Professor Oak's worst fears came true. Kosaburo rummaged through his bag and found the item he had brought specifically to entrust to Ash.

As soon as Yamato heard Kosaburo calling, he quickly leaned his head over.

"Hmm...this stone looks neat and shiny, but it's not a gemstone, so it doesn't seem to be very valuable."

"Then throw it away?"

"Idiot, this was found in Professor Oak's bag. Even if it's not a gem, it's definitely some rare item. Let's keep it and present it to Boss Giovanni!"

Just then, a faint waveguide ripple reached the stone in Kosaburo's arms.

Even though the energy that arrived here was extremely weak because the owner of the waveguide was too far away, the stone still suddenly shone brightly the moment it came into contact with the waveguide.

Startled, Kosaburo quickly stuffed the stone back into Professor Oak's bag, while Ash, who was in the distance, suddenly looked up in the direction where Yamato and the others were.

"Strange, it felt like a huge energy I've never encountered before was calling to me from afar."

Ash frowned, trying to sense the past again but unable to sense anything.

"What's wrong, Ash? Did you find Professor Birch and the others?"

At this moment, May and her friends, who had been following Ash on a thorough search along the mountain path since leaving the research institute, quickly caught up with him after seeing Ash's strange behavior.

Unfortunately, Ash shook his head.

"Not yet. I've been searching for so long, but I haven't sensed any Aura from Professor Oak or Professor Birch. Swellow and Salamence haven't made any new discoveries in the sky either."

"However, I suddenly felt an extremely large amount of energy just now, as if it was coming from over there."

Haruka looked in the direction Ash was pointing with her big eyes, and then immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, isn't that on the mountain right next to Dr. Odori's lab?"

That section of the road is behind the research institute, and the mountain is so rugged that cars can't drive up it at all.

Professor Birch can't drive there, so Ash and his friends never went there to look for him.

"Really? That's perfect! We've been searching along the mountain path for so long without finding anything, let's go take a look over there."

"We might find something useful. If it's just an illusion, we can go back to the research institute to rest for a while before coming out to look for other places."

Ash immediately made a decision and led everyone to Team Rocket's secret base.

Of course, they went there on a Salamence. May and Max would rather die than let Ash carry them.

At that moment, Kosaburo and Yamato in the base suddenly shivered, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.

The two exchanged a knowing glance.

"Amazon..."

"Xiao Shiro..."

"It's Kosaburo! Do you have to call me by the wrong name at a time like this?!" Kosaburo shouted angrily and immediately stood up and ran to the monitoring camera screen in the control room to check it nervously.

"The area within a 10-kilometer radius is currently safe, but there's a feeling that something evil is about to come to our base."

Amado, flustered, chimed in.

"This has happened several times before. I always have a feeling that something bad is going to happen. I'm not wrong. Let's pack our things and run!"

"Ok!"

Unfortunately, although they reacted quickly, they were still a step too slow in packing because they wanted to take too many things with them.

When Ash flew rapidly to within five kilometers of the base, Yamato, Saburo, Professor Birch, and Professor Oak all sensed it at once.
