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

Chapter 49 Dragonair and Dratini

Ash and his friends hurried towards Dragon Valley, where they encountered Uncle Caesar not far from the entrance.

As soon as he saw Xiaozhi, he became alert, and his hand involuntarily reached for his waist, wanting to grab the gun but not daring to.

"You weren't even in Dragon Valley? You weren't the ones who caused that explosion?"

"Of course not, we want to see who did it."

Xiaoxia said irritably.

Suddenly, a strange background music started playing.

"I heard the question 'Whose is it?'"

"To prevent the world from being destroyed!"

"To protect world peace!"

…………

"That's it, meow!"

"Hahaha, it wasn't those kids, it was Team Rocket who did it!"

It was the Rockets!

Kojiro and Musashi, wearing bizarre headband-like props, stood arrogantly above the entrance gate of Dragon Valley, laughing loudly.

There was also a large cage nearby, containing a large and a small Hakkarosaurus and a Minidragon.

They were all injured by the explosion and lay listlessly in their cages.

"You damned bastards, what have you done!" Upon seeing this, Uncle Caesar angrily pulled out his pistol and fired at them.

"Meow, of course we'll hand these two super rare Pokémon over to the boss!"

"I'll get a promotion and a raise, and I'll get gold coins for the cat. Just thinking about it makes me happy, hahaha!"

"Why waste words with them?" Musashi activated the magnetic device on his hand, and the bullets and pistol fired by the uncle were attracted to it.

"How is that possible!"

Immediately afterwards, a net was launched from the launcher in Meow Meow's hand.

The man tried to look cool by jumping over the wall, but he was caught.

Ash is also shocked because he didn't sense these three bastards immediately.

Since Team Rocket knew Dratini's location, it means that these people had been eavesdropping ever since Ash and his friends entered the wildlife park.

"How did you manage to evade my senses?" Ash was genuinely curious.

"Hahaha, let me tell you, kid, the waveguide screens we're wearing are the result of our research and development based on your data."

They didn't hide anything at all.

"Meow, we're no longer afraid of you finding us!"

After saying that, the trio laughed triumphantly again.

"To think you could even develop something like this, I don't know whether to praise you geniuses or call you stupid."

Ash's aura continued to rise, and he gave Team Rocket a cruel smile.

"If you're not going to stay a stinking rat in the sewers, how dare you show your face in front of me and do bad things?"

"What audacity!"

The Rockets' smiles vanished instantly.

Realizing what was happening, Musashi hurriedly rummaged through his storage bag.

"Yeah, Kojiro, do we have any weapons to deal with this brat?"

"Hmm...it seems we don't have any. We've already used up all the explosives we had while searching for Mini Dragons..."

He casually tossed a few pebbles and accurately damaged the shielding device on Team Rocket's head.

"How could that be!"

"Meow, we're doomed!"

With another wave of his hand, Ash's Pokémon were all ready.

"Freeze Ray!"

Team Rocket was immediately struck by several Freeze Rays and turned into a giant ice sculpture.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your ability has been upgraded from Ruthless Level 3 to Ruthless Level 4 (the number of Pokémon you can carry increases by 2)]

Now, Little Smart carries eight Pokémon with him. Team Rocket must be his lucky charm, because good things always happen when they come.

He easily jumped to Team Rocket's location, pried open the cage holding Dratini with his bare hands, and then fed the injured Pokémon a healing potion.

Soon, Dragonair and Dratini recovered and gently rubbed against Ash's palm to express their gratitude.

Uncle Caesar on the ground was also untied and released by Xia.

"That scar, is it from that Minidragon from back then?"

Caesar suddenly became excited upon seeing the scar on the top of Hark's head.

"Is this miniature dragon your child?!"

"Hack!"

The Hakron flew over to respond to him, and with its cry, two more tiny dwarf dragons timidly poked their heads out from a pile of rubble.

The uncle, surrounded by Mini Dragons, wept bitterly.

"I'm so glad you were all alright."

After a rare reunion with his friends, Ash and his friends went inside Dragon Valley.

The place was devastated by the Rockets' bombs, and the old man was heartbroken.

"This area may no longer be suitable for Pokémon to live in."

The Hakkarosaurus and Dratini were also disappointed to see their home reduced to this state.

At this moment, Xiao Zhi had an idea.

"I have a place where the Hakkarosaurus can live well and safely."

"There?"

Upon hearing this, both the uncle and Hakron looked at him expectantly.

"Professor Oak's Laboratory".

"Is it Professor Oak from Pallet Town? If it really is him, then it's perfect."

Ash quickly led everyone to the park's center to contact Professor Oak.

As soon as the call connected, Ash was startled by the man-eating face of Oak.

"Ash, I...you...ramble on and on!"

Professor Oak scolded Ash for five minutes straight before finally stopping.

"You know it took me half a month to wash away the slime and the stench from the lab!"

"Oh, Professor, the situation was urgent. I had no choice but to resort to this measure for the sake of the Pokémon in the center."

Since he had tricked Professor Oak, Ash could only wipe his sweat and let the other man vent his anger.

"Let's not talk about that. I'm calling you today because it's important."

I quickly explained the whole story to Professor Oak.

"Sure, no problem. I have plenty of space in my backyard for Hakron and the others."

"Thank you so much, Champion Yukinari-sama!"

Upon hearing Professor Oak's agreement, Uncle Caesar excitedly pushed past Ash to express his gratitude to the professor.

"No need to be so polite, I'm no longer the champion."

"Time flies, but in my memory, the championship has always been yours."

"Professor, you were a champion?!" Ash really didn't know that.

"That was a long time ago, Ash. Don't forget to send Dragonair and the others over in a Poké Ball. I have to go now."

There are four in total: one big and three small.

There's a teleporter in the center of the park. Ash first caught Dragonair and Dratini in Poké Balls and then used the machine to teleport to the research lab.

But then one of the Dratini refused to go into the Poké Ball and went straight to Ash.

He stubbornly voiced his opinion.

"Mmm~ Mmm~!"

Xiao Zhi sensed its emotions through the waveguide.

"Hmm, don't you want to experience that moment again when your mother was taken away and you were powerless to do anything about it?"

Ash bent down and looked the Dratini in the eye.

"Great eyes! I can make you stronger, but the training will be very rigorous. Can you accept that?"

"Mmm~!"

It turned around and said goodbye to its mother and brothers and sisters.

"Okay, from now on we're partners!"

Ash took out his Poké Ball and caught Dratini.

[Ding! New side quest triggered: Fat Man's Ambition: Evolve Dratini into Dragonair]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +800; Speed ​​+2; Free Attribute Points +2; Skill: Dragon Tail]

"I caught a Dratini!"

We still need to demonstrate the standard movements.

"Shinichi, did we forget something?" Misty suddenly asked.

"No... I haven't forgotten anything... Team Rocket!"

Those three idiots are still frozen in the ruins of Dragon Valley.
