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

The big cat waved its paw in agreement.

Soon, a Dragonite wearing a hat sped towards Ash's location from inside the castle.

Chapter 82 Mage Beedrill

Inside the Philosopher's Gym in Dark City, all the core members gathered in front of a giant screen.

Led by Lei Zang, the master's eldest disciple, the Ten Vajras followed closely behind, while the newly recruited 500 henchmen (not really) apprentices sat neatly in rows behind these 11 people.

Today is the day when Mr. Aaron, the gym leader who has been recognized by the legendary Suicune, will speak to the students.

Before the students arrived at the hall, Raizo had already given his opening speech, which was long, tedious, and utterly boring.

The students below were drowsy, but the imminent arrival of Xiao Zhi finally made them perk up.

The screen lit up quickly without keeping everyone waiting for long.

Most of the trainees had never met Xiaozhi before, so they were a little nervous and apprehensive.

Some students below were whispering among themselves.

"Is the curator going to give a long, tedious speech later?"

"I don't know, who knows. I wouldn't have come if the gym owner wasn't a well-known, powerfully muscular man in the area. If he keeps nagging like this, I'll leave the next day."

……

Xiao Zhi glanced at the rows of muscular men with pointed heads on the ground and coughed lightly to signal for quiet.

"First of all, I would like to thank you all for trusting me and choosing to join my dojo. Now I will say a few words."

"First, my apprentices will be subject to monthly assessments and must practice for at least 8 hours every day, but room and board are all provided, and each person will receive a monthly subsidy of 2!"

The students, who had initially thought the instructor was about to spout nonsense again, instantly erupted in excitement.

"Really? I don't even make 2 yuan a month carrying goods at the dock."

"Coming to this dojo was definitely the right decision!"

Seeing the excited expressions of the group of muscular men below, Xiao Zhi told them to calm down before continuing.

"Secondly, the dojo apprentices will be given points. As long as you do good deeds, help the citizens, and train hard, you can earn points."

"You can exchange points for resources needed to train Pokémon at the gym, and as long as you have enough points and pass my test, you can get the chance to train Squirtle!"

To the students below, Xiao Zhi's words meant exactly what they were saying.

"Gibberish, gibberish, a monthly salary of 2!"

"Gibberish, gibberish, send out the starter Pokémon!"

Everyone wept bitterly, overwhelmed with emotion.

"Commander Alang, we love you dearly!"

"The effect is that good?" Xiao Zhi was surprised to see the apprentices crying below.

He then continued to post some trivial inspirational quotes, but unexpectedly, they were just as effective.

He now realizes how terrifying his oratorical tendencies can be.

"The most important thing for a trainer is to have love. As long as you give love to your Pokémon, they will become stronger!"

"That's absolutely right!"

"If even the Gym Leader, a legendary Pokémon Trainer, says so, we'll definitely love our Pokémon even more from now on!"

My scalp itched, so I scratched it.

"The sight of the owner of the Yalang Pavilion scratching his head was truly touching!"

"From today onwards, I'm going to scratch my head every day!"

Feeling thirsty, Xiao Zhi got up and drank a glass of water.

"That's amazing! It's just water!"

"From now on, I will definitely drink 100 cups of water every day!"

"Is this really necessary?"

These muscular men, who weren't exactly bright to begin with, all became completely devoted to Xiao Zhi after hearing about the treatment he gave them.

It was even a bit too cheesy.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for upgrading their trait: Orator lv3→lv4 (Makes women cry, drives men crazy!)]

Finally, everyone shouted three times the slogan personally devised by Ash: "A moment of leisure can ruin a lifetime!"

After all the apprentices made a vow to cultivate diligently and work hard, the speech came to a successful conclusion.

The results were better than Xiao Zhi expected, and he is already planning to give more speeches whenever he has free time.

------------

After dealing with the gym matters, Ash returned home.

When he opened the door, Xiaoxia had been waiting for him for a long time.

Yes, Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi live in the same room. Hanako is really at ease knowing that young men and women can share a room together.

"Ash, are you really planning to go to that banquet for the strongest Pokémon trainers?" Misty thought the banquet was strange and wanted to persuade Ash not to go.

"Since they've already declared themselves the strongest trainer, of course I have to go check it out."

She pouted, a little unhappy, "It just doesn't feel reliable."

Ash was celebrating while hugging Venusaur when a Dragonite descended from the sky and presented him with an invitation.

The invitation featured a woman with a virtual projection explaining the situation to Xiaozhi and extending the invitation; it was very high-tech.

Of course, Ash knew at a glance that the invitation was from Mewtwo, so he had to accept the invitation and see the "strongest Pokémon".

"If you go, I'm going with you."

Misty, feeling uneasy, wanted to go with Ash.

This is where Ash gets a little worried. Before being moved, Mewtwo was serious about wanting to rule over humanity.

It's too dangerous for Xiaoxia to go there.

But judging from her firm attitude, she doesn't seem like someone who can be easily persuaded.

"What a stubborn person."

There was no other way, so Xiaozhi had to let loose and keep Xiaoxia awake all night.

As expected, Xiaoxia was lying in bed unable to get up the next morning, so Xiaozhi packed his bags and set off for Mewtwo's location.

Ash traveled light this time, bringing only Lucario, Beedrill, and Pikachu.

Bringing Lucario is to enhance one's Aura Force in crucial moments, while bringing Beedrill is for training purposes.

Take it with you on the road to train and evolve into a Mega Evolution.

Ash has crafted Beedrill's Mega Stone into a waistband that he wears on its wasp waist.

"Beedrill, focus! Let's Mega Evolve together!"

"Bee, bee!"

Its Mega Stone and Key Stone both emitted a dazzling light at the same time, and the light between the two began to connect, causing Beedrill's shape to change.

After Mega Evolution, Beedrill retains its cool gray body, but its stinger at the end becomes longer, and the stingers on its hands grow out of parts resembling lance handguards. Its legs also change into double stingers with black and gray stripes.

Mega Beedrill's speed and attack power have been greatly increased.

Xiao Zhi took out the map and carefully compared the routes.

"If you don't mind the rocks, the fastest way to get to the dock from here is through the rocky path."

"Great Beedrill, let's test our evolved power! Let's smash all the boulders along the way and then we'll go this way!"

"Use Deadly Needle Sting!"

Thanks to Beedrill's efforts, Ash and his friends successfully created a shortcut for the people of Pallet Town that leads directly to Port Town.

It can be considered a good thing that benefits the local area, but it must have been hard work for the beepers.

When they arrived at the port, Beedrill felt that his buttocks and hands were so numb that he couldn't feel them anymore.

Ash put it back into its Poké Ball to rest, and then immediately went to the counter to buy a ferry ticket to the area near Mewtwo Island.

But then the weather suddenly changed; dark clouds filled the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the waves on the beach began to surge.

In just a few moments, the weather changed abruptly from clear skies to torrential rain.

Xiao Zhi sensed a familiar energy from it.

"This kind of fluctuation is superpower!"

Ash could already guess that Mewtwo was behind the large-scale, direct change in the weather; that's the power of a legendary Pokémon!

In comparison, that water dog is a disgrace to the mythical creature.

Looking at the people in the waiting hall, there were more than 100 trainers, probably all selected by Mewtwo.

This storm was a test for the guests, when the ship was unable to set sail.

Only those Pokémon that overcome the barriers of rain and waves to reach the new island are qualified to attend its banquet.

"That's quite interesting."

Although Ash doesn't have a Pokémon that can cross the sea right now, he's not worried at all.

After all, there are still three magical summoned beasts.

Chapter 83 The Strongest Pokémon Trainer

While Mewtwo was constantly waving his psychic powers from his castle to alter the surrounding climate, deep beneath the ocean...

A tiny Pokémon enveloped in special energy was also drawn to Mewtwo's power and awakened.

It leaped out of the sea and flew swiftly towards Mewtwo with great joy.

------------

Ash pushed open the door to the waiting hall and walked to the port.

Due to the violent storm, all shipping has been suspended and no ships are allowed to leave the port. Officer Jenny and the port manager have also advised all trainers not to act impulsively.

But Ash looked around and saw that almost all the trainers had come out of the hall and come to the port.

"Seriously, since Joey is missing, if they get injured now, there's no one to help them get treatment."

"Even though it was so dangerous, they just wouldn't listen to advice."

Officer Jenny felt helpless looking at these stubborn trainers.

The port manager, on the other hand, seemed rather carefree.

"They are Pokémon Trainers, people born for adventure. There's no way to stop them. Let them be."

As the administrator said, adventure is the romance of trainers.

As Ash watched the trainers around him release their Pokémon one by one, preparing to sail towards their destination, he quietly walked to a secluded spot.

With a light snap of his fingers, the trio made their dazzling entrance.

Meow Meow, who was just inside the restaurant, was not quite sure what was going on.

"Meow, where is this place?"

"Ah, it's mealtime again." Musashi, who was holding chopsticks, shed tears sadly.

"I had finally ended my days of eating canned food and was just about to treat myself to a big meal."

"Stop complaining, you'll all get a bonus after this operation."

"Long live the boss!"

Meow Meow simply wiped away the raindrops that were pouring down on her from the sky.

"Why did you call us here in this torrential rain, boss?"
