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

Chapter 193 Subduing Chicory Leaf

Chapter 193 Subduing Chicory Leaf

Picking up the sweet ball filled with pear blossoms, Xiaozhi felt a little numb. "I've really done something amazing."

"What do we do now? We've successfully captured the Four Heavenly Kings—."

After thinking for a while, Ash decided to take the Poké Balls that Team Rocket had stolen back to the Pokémon Center and return them to Nurse Joy first.

Ash will have to hold onto the gold coins, Houndoom and Umbreon Poké Balls that Pear Blossom found for the time being.

With Pikachu and Chikorita by their side, they carried the sack on their shoulders and had Charizard carry them back to the previous Treehouse Pokémon Center.

By this time, Xiaoxia and the others had almost completely repaired the place.

Misty has also trained well thanks to Ash's guidance.

Miss Officer Jenny from a nearby town finally arrived late with her team to inquire about the situation from Joey and Xia.

"Yes, Team Rocket attacked our Pokémon Center in robots, stole a lot of Poké Balls, and then escaped."

"And that enthusiastic young man who went to chase the archery team hasn't returned all night—..."

Now, Nurse Joy is very worried that Ash might have an accident.

Just then, Misty spotted Charizard on the horizon and exclaimed excitedly, "Look! Ash's back!"

Everyone present immediately looked up.

Seeing Ash waving his hand and jumping off Charizard, Nurse Joy and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ash returned the sack of Poké Balls to Nurse Joy, but was still criticized by Officer Jenny for not paying enough attention to his own safety.

Of course, they still thanked them all in the end.

When Ash left the center, he left behind some Chikorita leaves.

"Chikorita needs to take good care of herself from now on and stop pushing herself so hard."

Ash gently patted Chikorita's head, then got up and turned away without looking back.

Did he not want the chrysanthemum leaves anymore? No, of course not, that's called playing hard to get, kid!

If you want to become a Pokémon Master, you need to learn more.

"Chirp, chirp!"

Sure enough, Ash hadn't taken more than a few steps when Chikorita immediately hopped and skipped after him, affectionately hugging his leg.

"It seems like Chicory has fallen for you."

Miss Joey smiled as she watched them leave from the doorway.

"Maybe it wants to travel with Ash."

"What? So, Chikorita wants to travel with me?"

"whisper!"

Ash then pretended to suddenly realize something, took out a Poké Ball, and put the Chikorita into his Pokémon.

[Ding! Chicory Leaf: Affection +5; Intimacy +5]

"Alright, I've really tamed Chikorita!"

After walking all morning, Ash and his friends decided to have lunch and rest at the forest campsite.

Ash released the Pokémon to play together, and started cooking. "Ash, take a look at this area. The town below officially belongs to the territory of Violet City."

"Great! Then we can head to the city center tomorrow to challenge the Violet Gym!" Ash happily took the map from Misty's hand.

"Speaking of which, what's the deal with that new captain, Yuri, who appeared on the Arrows team yesterday?"

In the past, it was just Yamato and Kosaburo, but now there's a powerful new enemy, and Xiaoxia is a little worried.

Moreover, Xiaozhi kept staring at that lily yesterday, which made Xiaoxia a little unhappy.

"It's just a bodysuit, what's so great about it? Bodysuits—I hate big drum bodysuits the most—"

"Well, Xia, let me show you the sample. Don't be scared later."

After confirming that there was no one else within a 3-kilometer radius of the waveguide's sensing range, Ash took out a Sweet Ball.

"Come out, Lily!" Ash still wanted to pretend he didn't know Lily's true identity.

This woman always likes to play pranks on others, and now it's Xiaozhi's turn to play pranks on her.

A flash of red light appeared, and then emerged the large drum, or rather, the tight-fitting, wicked woman, Pear Blossom.

"Damn it, don't actually think I'm a Pokémon!"

"Eh~!" Kasumi was stunned.

"Someone came out of the Poké Ball?"

At this moment, the mask on Pear Blossom's face had fallen off, but she was still wearing exaggerated makeup, making it impossible to see her normal face.

After shouting that sentence to Ash, Rika immediately hugged her knees, stared blankly at the ground, and remained silent.

Her mind is in a mess right now.

"I've been caught in a Poké Ball—I've been trapped inside one!"

"Could it be that I'm actually a Pokémon?!" Rinka was a little confused.

For the first time since adolescence, she was pondering the legendary ultimate philosophical question: Who am I?

The girl, who had a terrible temper and enjoyed teasing others, was almost in tears.

"Isn't that Lily? How did you manage to put her in a Poké Ball, Satoshi?"

Xiaoxia was incredibly curious. "I've never heard of this before! Aren't Poké Balls supposed to be able to capture humans?"

And using a Poké Ball to capture humans is just too shocking.

"This ball is extremely special; it's not an ordinary Poké Ball, and I only have this one. You can think of it as a kind of mobile prison."

"Lily is too dangerous. In order to prevent her from continuing to harm the people of the Alliance, I have decided to keep her by my side and keep an eye on her."

"And I've already put her Poké Ball away, so there's no need to worry about anything going wrong."

"Oh, I see." Xia agreed with Zhi's explanation.

Xiao Zhi spoke with such righteous indignation that even he believed it, and as a partner of justice, that's exactly what I thought.

It wasn't because I was thinking about Rika's shapely figure that I threw the sweet ball out on a whim, and unexpectedly it succeeded.

Xiao Zhi harshly criticized himself for this.

"Ash, Ash, how could you fall so low? You actually succumbed to your own desires!"

It's actually just a different kind of possessiveness at play.

Xiao Zhi lamented that his spiritual cultivation was indeed insufficient.

"I need more practice to temper my heart!" I must challenge my weaknesses more often in the future.

"We should learn from Mahatma Gandhi and frequently put ourselves through courageous trials."

Moreover, in order to atone for his sins, Xiaozhi decided to transform Rika into a virtuous and good woman before letting her go.

"Hey Ash, give me back my Pokémon!"

At this moment, Pear Blossom, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

Now she has come to terms with it, even though it will be a dark chapter in her life.

But as long as I escape from Ash's side as soon as possible and never see her again in this life, I believe she will not make me remember her.

"Do you think it's possible to give your Pokémon back?"

"The criminals in the Arrow Team must complete their punishment before they can be punished!" Zhi immediately refused.

"I'm not a member of the Rockets!"

"Someone said when they first appeared that they were the new captains of Team Rocket, right, Misty?" Ash pretended not to believe it at all.

"Yes, we all heard you say that at the time."

"Then how will you prove, Lily, that you're not part of the archery team?"

"Amadou and his team can prove it!"

"We can't find them, and who knows if they might deliberately protect you?"

"Yes." Rika wasn't actually a member of Team Rocket; she had only said it casually at the time, but it was a fact that she had helped Team Rocket.

I really don't know how to prove she's not a member of the Rockets.
