What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

It was even more devastating than the explosion at Rumble Rock!

It's like... while Nagasaki Motoyo was envying Toyokawa Shoko, Toyokawa Shoko was also envying Nagasaki Motoyo.

Xiangzi frowned slightly, finding it difficult to take a step.

That ability to communicate with Pokémon is just too powerful.

It's utterly shameful that she would go to meet someone like that just to get closer to Satoshi.

Am I... supposed to say something like that?

Xiangzi stared at Su Shi, who was not far away, with a displeased expression.

Xiangzi: Private Marseille! Electric Dragon... Servant of the Blade... Su Shisang!

Su Shi: You're the kind of person who only thinks about yourself.

It's 10 times, or even 9 times, more humiliating than working as a customer service representative at an eco-treasure sphere!

"Let's put this matter aside for now!"

A true man can bend and stretch, but customer service representative Xiao Xiang is not yet at the point of kneeling before his opponent.

First of all, she is not the Servants General, and secondly, she is not a long-haired troll. Kneeling is still too outrageous for ordinary people.

Feigned Kneeling, Real Thrust: Pretending to bow one's head in apology, while simultaneously thrusting forward with disheveled hair. The attack is guaranteed to hit; it's a signature move of the Fake Demon and the Hairy Troll.

Toyokawa Shoko is a young lady from a wealthy family!

Even a fallen heiress is still a heiress!

The only thing that would elicit the strongest reaction from her, making her bow her head and admit her mistake... is... the moment she's penalized!

As for where to deduct it?

Deduct my salary!

...

"Blazing Chicken, can you still keep up the good work?"

"Bashasha~ (No problem!)"

"Oh, I see. Don't push yourself. If anything happens to your health later, just let me know as soon as possible."

"Summer! (Yes!)"

During the break, Ash sat on the ice and handed the berries to Blaziken, and the two began to happily eat them.

Then he gave the thorny shell tree fruit to the half-lying tree, allowing it to regain more strength.

While eating, Ash didn't forget to observe Bishance and Katsuyuki Toyokawa. Bishance seemed very angry, while Katsuyuki Toyokawa was surprisingly a bit oblivious.

This state... means that their plan has been somewhat successful.

Ash thought Bishart would be wary of them, but Team Rocket was surprisingly weak...

Does that mean there's something being held back?

Looking at the success message on his phone, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but think about it more deeply.

For example, the Rockets causing trouble by sending a large number of people to prison...

It's impossible to win so easily, right?

[...Maybe it's that simple! They had no idea that Xiaoxiang had information about Team Rocket's cooperation with the Toyokawa family.]

But... Katsuyuki Toyokawa?

[Zhibao, do you know, is it possible that he's even dumber than we think?]

What you said makes sense!

Could it be... that I'm really wary of idiots?!

Frico, you're a useful fellow!

Ash suddenly had an epiphany. He realized that his opponent was unaware that he had not reached the strength of the Elite Four, and this was the first time he had encountered such an opponent.

【sodayo】

In that case, Ash should only be wary of Bishas, ​​Elite Four level trainers, and Team Rocket's top executives.

"Ba Xiaxia~"

At this moment, Blaziken moved slightly and sat next to Ash, holding its head high and exuding confidence.

"That's right, not needing to think too much is just right for me. I just need to fight back with all my might!"

Ash felt a warmth in his heart as he watched Blaziken respond to his affection, and his fighting spirit soared even higher.

"Bashar~~!"

326 Loser Su Shi~

"call--!"

Perhaps because they were about to reach the deepest part of the cave, Ash and his friends could hear an astonishing energy emanating from inside the cave. With the help of the Aura Detector, they could tell that they would see Articuno within 10 minutes.

Only 7 people remain in the group. To stay alert, Ash puts his hand in his pocket to prevent Bishas from backstabbing him.

For the sake of the bigger picture, Su Shi also became wary and did not hold Xiao Zhi's hand, even though she wanted to.

Waaaaah... I really want to hold my boyfriend's hand and stop him from going to such a dangerous place!

Su Shi's cheeks flushed slightly, but her hands held a subtle tension and anticipation as she reached out to touch Xiao Zhi's hand and pull him back.

But under these circumstances, it is clearly impossible.

As for Toyokawa Shoko... Nagasaki Motoyo can only wish her happiness.

Su Shi: Former teammates? I'm really not that familiar with them!

They remained in this state until they saw Articuno.

Inside the frigid cave, the pale white Articuno guards Articuno.

According to the setting book, the Ice God, Thunder God, and Fire God are of normal color, while the common legendary bird Pokémon are of shiny color, which means that the normal-colored Articuno is the true 'Ice God'.

The Ice God's face was unusually pale, as if it were enduring endless pain. Its body was blue, but in some places, it had turned purple due to poisoning. A chilling aura permeated the air, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Whoosh!!" Articuno's body emanated a chilling aura, as cold as ice, making it impossible for anyone to approach.

With each breath it took, a gust of cold wind would blow, as if to freeze the entire cave.

His eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility, warning anyone who dared to approach that this was not a place they could easily trespass into.

In this frigid cave, the God of Ice stands out conspicuously.

Its blue body stood out starkly in the cold cave, impossible to ignore. Yet, its expression conveyed a sense of unease—a deep-seated pain and helplessness.

"Basha..." "aro~~" "meta!"

Blaziken, Talonflame, and Metagross immediately became alert, carefully observing Articuno's movements.

Just by their presence, you can tell they are not Pokémon of the same level.

That Ice God has roughly the strength of a Champion or higher, while that Articuno has the strength of an Elite Four member or higher.

Because poisoning is difficult to diagnose, Ash wasn't entirely sure of the Ice God's strength.

"This is Articuno..."

Xiangzi's amber eyes widened, his gaze revealing excitement.

As long as Articuno is available, they can take revenge on the Toyokawa family, or even Team Rocket.

Everything can end; the ordeal my mother and father endured, and the oppression of ordinary working-class people by the Toyokawa family, can all come to a complete end.

I'll end this here!

A sense of revenge welled up inside her, and her feelings became increasingly complicated.

However... Toyokawa Shoko did not make a move.

Xiangzi's eyes sparkled with barely suppressed excitement as she slowly but firmly took Xiaozhi's hand.

"...Ash, let's go together?"

A faint blush rose to her cheeks, and her voice was soft, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

It was only at this point that Toyokawa Shoko fully acknowledged her feelings, abandoned her shame, and publicly acknowledged that she was his wife.

Since her boyfriend had already accompanied her here, she couldn't just do anything on her own.

For Xiangzi, Xiaozhi was very important, even to the point of being comparable to his father and mother.

Since that's the case, she'll have to get through this difficult time with the person she likes.

Xiangzi's cheeks flushed slightly as he looked at Xiaozhi beside him, instinctively clenching his hand and feeling the other's warmth.

"Well, let's go together."

Xiao Zhi smiled confidently, while Su Shi pointed to his own face.

"Eh? What about me?"

Am I a loser?!

Don’t do that kind of thing! !

"Su Shi wants it too!"

Without waiting even a moment for Su Shi to become withdrawn, Xiao Zhi immediately took her hand and comforted her.

You all need happiness!

You guys are all my absolute favorites, so please give me some comforting words. We'll be battling each other every day from now on!

"Two Articuno?! No matter what, I'll take them. Go, Rapidash! Use Flame Burst!!"

At that moment, an elite trainer threw a Poké Ball onto the ice field.

Instantly, a surge of energy spread out, drawing everyone's attention. The fiery horse leaped out of the sphere, standing tall with its mane burning like flames.

"Burn!" Rapidash swung its front hooves, unleashing countless powerful flames from its mane. These flames tumbled and intertwined in the air, forming a large, star-shaped pillar of fire that charged towards Articuno opposite it.

"Whoosh!!" Articuno spread its wings, and an endless chill spread out from around it, instantly extinguishing the large flame.

"Metamorphoses, hold the line!"

Upon seeing this, Xiangzi waved his hand forward.

"Meta!!" Metagross also showed its resilience at this moment.

A green protective shield appeared around him, ready to withstand the fierce attack of absolute zero.

tear--!

The ice and snow collided with the shield, producing a deafening crash, but all of it was blocked outside Metagross's shield.

It also protected Ash and his friends within it.

It's estimated that they held back some of their strength to conserve energy, but this time the absolute zero completely froze the Flaming Horse, making it look like an ice sculpture.

The surrounding crowd fell silent, everyone staring wide-eyed.

The raging flames engulfing the Flaming Horse failed to melt the ice; instead, it remained rooted to the spot, unable to move, and was instantly killed!

"A fiery horse?!"

The elite trainer stared at all in disbelief, but Articuno did not choose to stop.

"Phew!! (Get out!!)"

Following these words, Articuno unleashed Ice Shards that directly attacked the elite trainer, knocking him to the ground.

"Ah..." The elite trainer was trapped by the cold ice shards and unable to move.

What is clear is that... Articuno spreads its wings and soars into the sky, the biting cold wind raging across the field, its gaze fixed on the fallen trainer, conveying a silent warning.

"It's perfect... Articuno, what a beautiful creature. This is the Pokémon that is most suitable for me, Katsuyuki Toyokawa."

Katsuyuki Toyokawa's eyes gleamed with fervor as he stared intently at the Articuno in the sky, his face displaying an expression of utter fascination.

Instead of summoning his own Pokémon, he resolutely walked up to Articuno and a crazy smile appeared on his lips.

"Danger! Come back quickly!"
