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

Having no other choice, he immediately gave each of the little devils a large bag as a reward.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, my child has caused you so much trouble."

An adult quickly opened the door from the roadside, came to Xiaozhi, and bowed to apologize.

"Please come to my shop, and let me treat you to a proper meal as an apology."

Not wanting to argue with little kids, Ash was also curious about why they hated trainers so much, so he agreed.

This is a Western restaurant, and it doesn't seem to have many customers except for one person who is wrapped up tightly and drinking coffee.

Just wearing sunglasses and a mask while drinking coffee, that's...

The owner skillfully served Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia omelet rice and pasta.

"The guests must find it strange that the children are hostile to the trainers."

"Actually, it's because there are two gyms in our city, one called the Kaz Gym and the other called the As Gym."

"The two gyms hire traveling trainers as henchmen, and whenever something happens, they hold Pokémon battles in the city."

"They've made such a mess of this place that kids now hate seeing trainers with Pokémon."

Xia, who was eating noodles, suddenly looked up.

"They are gym leaders, why would they do this?"

"It seems that the winning side can gain recognition from the League and become an official gym of Dark City."

"Sigh, the Dark City is located in a remote area, with only two towns, Evolution Town and Second Man Town, within a 20-kilometer radius."

"It was through everyone's concerted efforts that a small village was developed into a big city, but now it has become so impoverished!"

As the conversation progressed, the boss lost control of his emotions.

"Waaah, waaah, waaah... Sobbing, sobbing, how could our home have become like this?"

Just as the boss was crying, a series of noises came from the street outside.

"Go, Scyther! Don't hold back!"

"Electabuzz, use Thunder!"

The children in the shop immediately gritted their teeth and looked out the window.

"They've started again!"

Two groups of people were seen confronting each other on the street outside the store.

One team wore gardener-like uniforms with the letter K printed on them, while the other team wore electrician uniforms with the letter A printed on them.

They unleashed their Pokémon's skills with abandon, and the houses on both sides were destroyed by the aftershocks of the Pokémon battle.

Several groups of citizens who had fled because their houses were destroyed appeared on the streets.

"Do they have some kind of misunderstanding about Pokémon Trainers? Does this happen often?"

Looking out the window, Xiao Zhi felt that he had never been so unrestrained when he was roaming the wild.

"It's like this almost every day..."

The boss turned away, unable to bear looking at him any longer, his heart aching.

Because Dark City has just been upgraded to a city, there is no Pokémon Center, nor are there Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny.

Gym Leaders have too much power.

The enormous profits made the leaders of the two private martial arts schools so angry they wanted to beat the dog out of its head.

But Xiaoxia showed great disdain for the two leaders.

"These two gyms will not be recognized by the league."

"Oh, why?"

"The League prosecutors aren't blind. They've made the citizens hate trainers, so they're unlikely to admit their wrongdoing."

"Moreover, if a gym leader in a city is not recognized by the people of that city, even if he manages to fool the prosecutor, he won't last long."

When Xiaoxia said those words, Xiaozhi clearly sensed that the suspicious people at the table behind him who were drinking coffee trembled.

"Well, maybe the prosecutor has already sneaked into the city and is watching what they are doing with a cold eye."

Although Xiaozhi had never seen the aura of this suspicious person before, he was very familiar with the delicate facial features.

"From the Joey family, it seems this person is the Alliance Inspector."

With that in mind, Xiao Zhi came up with a plan.

[Ding! New side quest triggered: Money Bag and Gun Barrel?: Defeat those two bastards and build your own gym!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Free Attribute Points +2; Favorability to all residents of the Dark City +15]

That night, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia stayed at the hotel upstairs from the owner.

"Xiaoxia, do you think it's possible for an outsider to establish a dojo in an unfamiliar city?"

"I don't plan to continue traveling. I want to become a gym leader."

Xiaoxia was quite surprised by his sudden question.

After all, Ash is a Pokémon Master who talks about it all the time.

"I just felt bad seeing my boss crying this morning. Xiaoxia, I want to save this city."

"Since this city needs a gym to protect it, I'll build it."

"After establishing the gym, we can have that kid Raizo temporarily serve as the gym leader."

Although Raizo, Ash's eldest disciple, is a bit airheaded, he is disciplined and responsible.

Moreover, now that the more composed third brother, Mizichi, has entered the group's management, we need to find him something to do.

Kojiro and his friends were simply helping Satoshi establish systems and oversight mechanisms for the fledgling group.

They also have things to do with the Rockets, so they can't manage the company all the time.

Once the three Eevee brothers' loyalty increases, Ash, who has already established a supervisory mechanism, will continue to entrust them with management.

"Save this city..."

The boss looked really sad in the morning, which made Xiaoxia think for a while.

"It might actually be feasible now."

"The local residents have long been fed up with the two local dojos."

"If a strong and trustworthy trainer could come and defeat the Kars Gym and the Ast Gym, the citizens would probably support him."

"With the support of the local people, the dojo could be established naturally."

"But opening a gym for Ash isn't as simple as just one person carrying a sign; it requires a considerable investment of manpower and resources."

"The most important thing is how an outsider like you can gain the trust of the citizens, not to mention that there might be a League prosecutor involved."

"So I need your help, Xia. You should know very well what's needed to set up and operate a dojo, right?"

"As for how to gain the trust of the citizens, I already have an idea."

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Man Chosen by Legend

On this day, a visitor came to the Katz Gym. He was 2.3 meters tall with a resolute and fierce face, which made people feel intimidated.

It's basically just Ash changing his clothes and hairstyle; he uses his powerful muscles to control his body shape and face.

To be honest, it should be what Xiaozhi looks like after he turns 30. There's no way around it, older people are more likely to gain the trust of others.

He came here to see the real Katz for himself, since rumors shouldn't be taken at face value.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Zhi said he wanted to see the leader here, and the apprentices didn't dare to stop him and quickly led him over.

"I wonder what brings this... brave warrior, to my dojo?"

Kars became very nervous when he saw Ash's exaggerated size.

"If the Ast Gym across the street hired you, I can pay double!"

Xiao Zhi chuckled lightly and spoke, his voice deep and powerful, exuding an aura of righteousness.

“No one hired me. I’m here just to ask you a question, Master Kaz.”

"Why did you decide to establish this dojo?"

"Haha, what kind of question is that!"

Upon hearing that the other party was not a hired thug, Kaz immediately relaxed.

"Of course it's for the money! There's no faster way to make money than with a dojo!"

"Is that so? I understand!"

After getting the answer, Ash left the Kars Gym without looking back.

On the same day, the Yas Dojo also encountered visitors.

It's the same as Ash.

The gym leader As's answer was very similar to Kars'.

"Of course, it's to control the Dark Market. You look so capable. If you help me defeat Kaz, we'll split the Dark Market's assets in half afterward, how about it!"

Unfortunately, Ash remained unmoved, his face still expressionless.

"I understand what you're thinking."

Turn around and leave immediately; it's now certain that both leaders are bastards.

I'll take over the dark market!

"Why did the museum owner answer him like that? What if the other party is an Alliance prosecutor?"

After Ash left, the younger members of the Asgard Gym quickly went up to massage their leader's shoulders and legs.

"I don't know, but his voice seems to have a kind of magic that always makes people unconsciously want to trust him."

"It doesn't matter. It can't be a prosecutor. I already knew that the alliance sent a woman."

With a sinister expression, As immediately ordered his underlings to gather men; he was going to fight those bastards from Kaz's side again today.

In the city center square.

The students from both gyms released their Pokémon and began a chaotic battle.

There were a few citizens on the street, but they were all rudely pushed away.

An elderly man's shop was also affected; the fruit on the shelves was crushed by a flying giant rock snake, leaving crumbs all over the ground.

No one dared to go out on the streets, but through the cracks in the windows and the peepholes in the doors, pairs of angry eyes were watching the fighting crowd.

Just as the scene was becoming increasingly chaotic.

"Super Strength, Destroy the Light!"

A powerful beam of light fell upon the center of the chaotic crowd.

The aftershocks of the explosion knocked all the dojo members present to the ground.

"How disgusting! You have lost your right to be Pokémon Trainers!"

On a rooftop not far from them, Ash made a grand entrance with two Pokémon, bathed in sunlight!

He and his two Pokémon jumped off the roof.

One of them possessed the monstrous power that had just unleashed the destructive beam, while the other...

"Oh my god, am I seeing things...?"

"Is that Pokémon the legendary Suicune?"

"That being, the embodiment of the North Wind..."

The citizens of Dark City were utterly shocked by the stranger who appeared with Suicune.

Even Prosecutor Joey, who was observing the situation while drinking coffee in a Western restaurant, stood up abruptly.

"It really is Suicune!"
