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

This guy knows he can't win in a direct confrontation, so he resorts to these underhanded tactics.

Ash really didn't expect that Gou would betray his childhood friend and use her as a tool to threaten him.

The key point is... Ash has never interacted with Chloe even once! They're complete strangers!

If Gouhao hadn't mentioned him, Xiaozhi would have almost forgotten about him.

Isn't it a bit outrageous of you to threaten me like this?

This is Gou's childhood friend, and has absolutely no relation to Xiao Zhi. There is no reason for her to be saved.

As Xiaochun's childhood friend, instead of protecting her, you're threatening her like this... It's outrageous!

Ash felt a headache coming on, but he knew in his heart that even if his opponent used a calculated strategy, even if the enemy laid many traps, he had to rise to the challenge. Whether it was humans or Pokémon, Ash wanted to do everything in his power to save them.

It's just that... Xiao Hao's actions have begun to align with Quixote's; he will no longer hold back and will go all out.

T1 combat power, Killing Intent Xiao Zhi!

"Pikachu!! (How shameless!)"

Upon seeing the letter, even Pikachu on his shoulder started clenching its fists, wanting to beat Gou up.

"There's no other way, we have to go. I can't just leave her there. Let's use our strength to rescue her!"

Ash clenched his fists, his eyes revealing unwavering determination, having made up his mind.

Meanwhile, Saya and Rinko also noticed Ash's predicament.

The clever girls immediately understood the situation, and knowing Xiao Zhi's psychology, they knew that Xiao Zhi would definitely not ignore it.

"Ash, leave this to me. Platinum is asleep because of Jirachi, so we can't act blindly. Just go for it!"

Saya almost blurted out the first curse word of her life, but she forced it back and didn't say it.

"Okay, Jirachi is in your care now. We'll be back soon!"

Xiao Zhi's lips curled up slightly, as if sunlight was shining on his face, blooming into a warm and firm smile.

This scene attracted the attention of the girls around, causing their cheeks to flush.

how to say...

so cute!

At that moment, Saya moved closer to Satoshi in front of her, stood on tiptoe, and touched his shoulder with her hand.

"Well?!"

She pressed her lips tightly against Xiaozhi's, her heart pounding uncontrollably, her desire unabated.

"...Then good luck! I'll protect Platinum."

Rinko: ? ...You call this protection?!

At that moment, Rinko's eyes lost their luster, and she clenched her fists.

"This isn't right... I was here first... why did it turn out like this?"

852 Xiaochun was used by Gouhao, and Xiaozhi was furious.

"Will Xiao Hao really be here?"

Xiaochun's steps were slightly heavy in the night. She walked along the winding path and finally came to a magnificent castle.

She stopped in her tracks, swallowed hard, and felt a mix of uncertainty and nervousness about what was about to happen.

In front of the castle gates, a number of people moved about, dressed in all sorts of costumes.

Here is the trainer that Xiaochun met before the competition started. It seems to be the castle built by that blue-haired girl, a base for everyone to recover their status.

Xiaochun was able to find this place entirely thanks to a map given to her by a brave eagle.

Because Ma Zhishi withdrew halfway, only Xiaochun was left wandering around the area.

She could only barely survive by relying on a specially made gold sprayer. To be honest, even she felt she was about to give up.

The Pokémon here are far stronger than those in her father Professor Sakuragi's lab. If Haru weren't more mature and resilient than the average person, most people would probably have given up and turned back long ago in this situation.

If Xiao Hao isn't brought back soon, the police will take action and formally arrest him. Most importantly, Xiao Hao's actions will completely change her father's future, and could even lead to him facing imprisonment.

It's all for Father! It's all for Father, so just hang in there a little longer.

Just take Xiao Hao back! Once that troublesome guy is taken back, I'll be free.

It will definitely succeed.

Xiaochun comforted herself in this way while carefully checking the map and resolutely moving forward.

"Excuse me, have you seen a brown-skinned boy here?"

While you're at it, ask passersby for information to verify its authenticity.

"Huh? How should I know?"

The passersby weren't very friendly, and the girl with purple eyes, a single ponytail, and a beauty mark under her eye responded unhappily.

Such a terrible attitude...

With no other options, Xiaochun had to ignore the woman who was causing her stress and continue studying the map until she reached a certain room.

Xiaochun pushed open the door, and a spacious room came into view. There, Xiaohao sat comfortably on the sofa, a happy smile on his face, his eyes fixed on Xiaochun.

“Xiao Hao, it’s time to end your days of committing crimes here. Come back with me.”

Upon seeing Xiaohao, Xiaochun subconsciously relaxed her tense body, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

However, she didn't realize that in Xiao Hao's eyes, she might just be seen as a tool.

"If you want me to go back, you'd better take action yourself. Don't you understand the rules?"

Seeing her childhood sweetheart in this state, Xiaochun was completely heartbroken.

Her father had always taken good care of the black dog, but after awakening his talent, Xiao Hao became increasingly arrogant and started cooperating with criminal organizations.

She had heard that during this time, Goh had been catching all sorts of Pokémon, selfishly catching them in the Eco Dome, which seriously affected the normal operation of the Eco Dome.

Goh's talent for capturing Pokémon with a single ball was completely misused due to his actions.

Xiaochun shook her head silently, feeling irritated.

"I knew you'd say that... That's enough! If this keeps up, you'll destroy my father's important research institute! At least sever ties with our family before you commit these crimes!"

"That won't do. Sometimes when I catch Pokémon, I have to temporarily store them at Sakuragi Lab! Consider this your reward. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

Xiao Hao's tone was arrogant and his words were barbed.

"What did you say?... Still trying to deny it? Your Pokémon haven't been properly trained, and you've even caught them haphazardly, causing a lot of trouble for our family!" This made Xiaochun clench her fists in anger, her fists trembling with rage. A strong impulse surged within her, and she almost wanted to immediately step forward and teach Xiaohao a lesson.

How can someone be so infuriating?!

It's hard to believe that this kind of person could be my childhood sweetheart!

However... Goh's patience has reached its limit. He has learned through his earpiece that Ash is rushing towards them at high speed.

"It's time to prepare for action! Come forth, Electric Beamwood! Unleash your Discharge!"

"Electricity!" Electric Wood suddenly appeared on the ground, its entire body erupting with dazzling golden electricity. The electricity shone with a light too bright to look at directly. Without any warning, it launched an attack on Xiaochun.

"Ugh~~" Xiaochun was hit head-on by this sudden attack, and her body was instantly subjected to a powerful electric shock.

She let out a sharp scream that echoed through the night sky. The power of the electric current paralyzed Xiaochun's entire body, rendering her muscles uncontrollable, as if she were frozen in place.

Xiaochun's body slumped forward, eventually sitting on the ground with her arms hanging limply at her sides and her face contorted in pain.

"You're the worst person ever..."

Her eyes were closed, her brows were furrowed, and she was in a state of extreme pain and helplessness.

Discharge: Attacks all Pokémon around the user with a dazzling electric shock. May cause paralysis.

By taking hostages, they threaten Xiaozhi, thus gaining a decisive advantage in terms of timing, location, and popular support.

To be honest, the hostage's requirements weren't very high; it didn't even have to be Xiaochun. But Xiaohao simply wanted to make Xiaochun suffer.

Xiao Hao: I'm here to prepare for taming Meng Huan, what are you doing in my way, woman?!

"You guys prepare for a sneak attack!...And Electric Wood, bring Xiaochun to me!"

At that moment, Xiaohao's gaze swept around the room, revealing several figures hidden within. Some were crouching, others lying down, silently waiting, clearly preparing to ambush Xiaozhi. The atmosphere in the room was tense and oppressive.

"Electricity!!" At the same time, Electric Wood was slowly approaching Xiaochun. Golden electricity surged continuously on its body surface, making crackling sounds.

"It's no use..." Xiaochun's face turned even paler. She tried hard to break free from the numbness, but her body reacted very slowly.

boom--!

Suddenly, a loud crash came from the window on the right. The window shattered, and shards flew everywhere. Immediately afterward, a huge Charizard carrying Ash on its back rushed into the house. Its figure looked particularly magnificent in the light and shadow of the broken window.

Ash gently touched the brim of his hat, straightening it, his eyes gleaming with intense fighting spirit.

This time is different from the last; Ash wants to completely correct, or even eliminate, this evil path.

"Charizard, spit fire!"

853 Another battle against Xiao Hao, a group brawl.

"Roar!!" Charizard suddenly unleashed a burst of extremely hot flames. The flames instantly enveloped the Electric Wood, the golden electricity shining even brighter in the firelight, while the Electric Wood let out a shrill scream that echoed throughout the room.

"Electric...electricity!!!"

The electric wood struggled in the flames, but the fire-breathing dragon's flames were so hot that it could not escape the onslaught.

"Come on, Xiao Hao! I'm going to finish you off this time!"

Ash held the glowing Poké Ball in his hand, swung it gently, and then threw it with force.

"Solid code!" Moon Bear suddenly appeared here and let out a roar.

"What?! They actually broke in through the window!!! Get them right now!"

Completely unaware of what was happening, Xiao Hao panicked instantly.

Why the hell did you expose our operations?!

Those hiding in the shadows cursed under their breath, but they had no choice but to do as Xiao Hao suggested.

"Come out, you head-banging clown, the pile of stones, the glutton!!"

Several people instantly threw out the Ultimate Ball, which contained a total of about 3 Gluttonous Kings, 3 Buzzwoles, 2 Nihilegos, as well as Electric Wood, Bang Head Clown, and Rock Slab. Since these were common creatures in their original world, the number was reasonable.

What Ash found incredible was that these Pokémon didn't have any control equipment, their entire bodies were black, and they had a peculiar energy fluctuation.

Where did Giratina get the Dark Resonance Stone, the power of Giratina?!

"It's incredible, isn't it? I'm the one who collected the Dark Resonance Stones and gave them to Team Rocket to use, which facilitated the birth of Dark Pokémon."

Akromah, the scientist from Team Plasma, walked over from a short distance away, looking at Ash with a smug expression.

"This is the combined power of Team Rocket and Team Plasma. We have transformed the current Dark Pokémon to a terrifying degree."

Next to Akromma was Professor Segal from Team Rocket, both of them holding tablets and looking quite pleased with themselves. Although Ash wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of the situation, his intuition told him that things were definitely not looking good.

"Ash from Pallet Town, Team Rocket's revenge plan for you has begun! Just wait for your defeat!"

"Hmph, although we don't want to use this method, don't blame us for being despicable when dealing with a strong person like you."

There's even a Rockets executive, Apollo, and a Plasma Seven Sage, Vio.

All my defeated opponents have arrived!

Fueled by the flames of revenge, they attacked Ash.

In other words... given this situation, it could very easily escalate into a decisive battle.

However, Ash must act while protecting Haru, which restricts his movements.

"Go, you Gluttonous Lords! Use Dragon Pulse on that little girl!!"

Vio decisively waved his hand forward and gave the command. The three Gluttonous Kings responded immediately, opening their mouths in unison and unleashing three dragon-shaped shockwaves.

These shockwaves formed trembling beams of light in the air, like three angry dragons roaring as they attacked Xiaochun.

"Aaaaaahhhhhh—!" ×3

"Again?!" Xiaochun's eyes widened in horror as she stared at the three fierce dragon energy waves. Her body trembled involuntarily, and the shadow of death loomed over her.

They're absolutely shameless!
