Chapter 140

Officer Jenny’s character is certainly commendable, but what about the others in the police station?

You have to realize this is a massive sum of money—wealth that even Team Rocket would covet. It’s hard to guarantee that no one would take a risk.

Cynthia believes that Black Ash must have thought of this.

Cynthia: "If you ask me, choosing E is still the better option."

In truth, Cynthia actually wanted to choose F, but then she thought about how setting a fire to burn all the tails away would be a bit of a pity; after all, they really are worth a lot of money.

Mr. Kurt: "D. My character is trustworthy."

Apollo: "You just want to hog the Slowpoke tails for yourself so you can eat a feast every day, don't you? You old geezer, you really are wicked to the core!"

Mr. Kurt: "Bullshit! I wouldn't be like you damn people who have no bottom line and even eat Pokémon bodies. I’m going to dispose of them properly!"

Apollo: "Heh, sure, I believe you."

Normal updates resume starting today!

130: I, Butterfree, do not agree to Sabrina becoming the matriarch!

Apollo: "Heh, sure, I believe you."

Giovanni: "Alright, leave some face for the righteous gentlemen of the League. If you expose their underwear, how are they supposed to keep pretending to be gentlemen in the future?"

Apollo: "Yes, Boss."

Giovanni and Apollo sang in harmony in the chat room, nearly giving Mr. Kurt a heart attack. Those two damn guys.

Diantha: "Don't get led by the nose by Giovanni and Apollo. The most important thing right now is answering the question. Those two guys must have already finished answering, which is why they have time to talk trash in the chat room."

Flint: "Right, right, right. Answering the question is what matters most. I choose E. The correct answer to the main question is definitely E."

Dawn: "I'll choose F. It's better to just destroy all the Slowpoke tails."

In Dawn's view, returning the tails to the Slowpoke might very well remind them of bad memories and cause secondary trauma, so the best choice is to destroy the tails.

Clair: "I choose F too. A woman's intuition tells me F is the correct answer!"

Kimono Girl: "Then I'll follow your lead, Clair. Don't lead me into a trap!"

[What should be done with the Slowpoke tails?]

[If they kept them all and sold them for money, Ash believes that even if the four of them split it, everyone could get a large sum.]

[But he would not do such a thing.]

[Releasing Slowpoke tails onto the market is no different from opening Pandora's box. Once more people get a taste of Slowpoke tails, it is very likely they will go to great lengths to hunt Slowpoke.]

[Without trade, there is no harm.]

["Come out, Cyndaquil!"]

[Once Cyndaquil appeared, Ash's choice was already obvious.]

[A pile of pink tails was stacked together, making a sizzling sound under the roasting flames.]

[The fire roasted all the tails, and the aroma of meat echoed throughout the entire cave.]

[Smelling the pungent fragrance, Misty couldn't help but swallow her saliva.]

[So fragrant. She really wanted to taste what it tasted like.]

[The moment such a thought arose in her mind, Misty lowered her head in guilt. What on earth was she thinking? How could she have such a terrifying thought!]

[If she really did that, wouldn't she be the same as Team Rocket?]

Apollo: "Hmph, you see? Everyone is the same. Even Misty wanted to taste the flavor of a Slowpoke tail. What is everyone afraid of? You should embrace your innermost, most honest thoughts."

Lorelei: "The biggest difference between humans and beasts is the ability to control one's desires. Misty was just thinking about it; she is not like you guys at all."

Lance: "As everyone knows, the members of Team Rocket are beasts who cannot control their desires. If they could control their desires, they wouldn't have joined Team Rocket in the first place."

This time, Apollo did not refute, because what Lance said was the truth; Team Rocket members truly cannot control their desires.

Isn't the reason they risk being wanted by the League to join Team Rocket to fulfill their ambitions?

Cynthia: "Stop talking about that. The correct answer to this question is actually F! It's F!"

Cynthia felt like crying. She actually wanted to choose F, but in the end, she didn't.

Sigh, the reward that was within reach just flew away like that. It pained her heart.

Chairman Goodshow: "Why wasn't it B? We still have to trust the League."

Clair: "Great! Got it right!!!"

Kimono Girl: "Yo-ho, good luck, Clair! It wasn't in vain that I trusted you so much!"

Clair: "Luck? What stupid thing are you saying? This is strength!"

Dawn: "Yay, got it right! This is just too great."

[Ding!]

[The top three with the correct answers for this prize quiz are Dawn, Clair, and Kimono Girl.]

[Congratulations to the three contestants for receiving rewards!!!]

[Contestant Dawn, reward: Legendary Pokémon, the Being of Emotion—Mesprit.]

[Contestant Clair, reward: Champion-level Kommo-o.]

[Contestant Kimono Girl, reward: Ten improved Fire-type Berry tree saplings. Effect: Long-term use can increase the power of a Pokémon's Fire-type moves.]

Cynthia: "Mesprit, it's actually Mesprit."

Cynthia was truly envious this time. This is a famous Legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh, Mesprit, who dwells in Mirror Mirror Lake Verity.

Lucian: "Mesprit has already appeared, so can Uxie and Azelf be far behind? I prefer the Being of Knowledge, Uxie; it fits my persona better."

Gardenia: "No, you're actually picking? Lucian, go take a nap. Everything you want is in your dreams."

Flint: "Lucian, I'm on your side. If a man doesn't have dreams, what's the difference between him and a salted fish? Since you've set your sights on Uxie, I won't fight you for it. My goal is the Being of Willpower—Azelf."

Flint rubbed his hands, already prepared to go all out.

Diantha: "Don't just look at Dawn's reward. Clair's reward isn't bad either—a Champion-level Kommo-o. Lance, are you drooling with envy yet?"

Lorelei: "I think Lance should give up the title of Dragon Master early. I think Clair is more suitable to be the Dragon Master of Kanto."

Clair: "Since everyone is requesting it, cousin, why don't you give the position to me? I'll be the Dragon Master, and you can come to Blackthorn City to be the Gym Leader."

Lance: "Get lost!"

Kimono Girl: "Not bad, not bad. Improved Berries that can increase the power of Fire-type moves. This reward is really good."

For Kimono Girl, nothing made her happier than seeing the Charizard in Charizard Valley become stronger. The viewing system's reward hit the mark for her.

Back to the video—

[After burning the Slowpoke tails to ashes, Ash dialed the phones of Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.]

[The next matters would be left for them to handle.]

[After working another night in the Slowpoke Well to ensure all the Slowpoke had been treated, Ash and his friends returned to the Pokémon Center to rest.]

[The next day, the group went to Mr. Kurt's house again and handed the GS Ball to him.]

[What surprised Ash and his friends was that even the master ball-maker, Mr. Kurt, had never seen a GS Ball. According to his analysis, the GS Ball was crafted from special materials. He didn't know exactly what the materials were, only that they were feathers from two mysterious Pokémon.]

["Feathers of mysterious Pokémon?"]

[Upon learning that the GS Ball was made from the feathers of mysterious Pokémon, Ash, on a whim, took the Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing out of his backpack and handed them to Mr. Kurt.]

[After some research, Mr. Kurt finally reached a conclusion: the GS Ball was indeed crafted using these two special feathers.]

[Mr. Kurt asked curiously: "Ash, what Pokémon are these feathers from?"]

["Ho-Oh, Lugia."]

["???????????"]

Bugsy: "Laughing to death, is Mr. Kurt's expression too exaggerated?"

Falkner: "You've been watching the whole way, which is why you don't feel surprised. If I swapped you and Mr. Kurt, I'd like to see if you could stay calm."

Morty: "I bet Mr. Kurt's inner thought right now must be—where did this lunatic come from?"

Lance: "Actually, I think if you just brought out Lugia, Mr. Kurt could accept it. But with Ho-Oh and Lugia appearing together, Mr. Kurt is over 60 years old; his heart definitely can't take it."

Lorelei: "That's right. After all, Ho-Oh has been missing for over a hundred years. Suddenly someone jumps out and says they have Ho-Oh's feather; you wouldn't be able to accept it either."

Everyone: "Makes sense."

[At first, Mr. Kurt thought Ash was joking, but after seeing Ash's serious gaze, he realized Ash was being serious.]

["Are these really the feathers of Ho-Oh and Lugia?" Although he already believed it for the most part, Mr. Kurt couldn't help but ask again.]

["Authentic and genuine," Ash replied calmly.]

[He broke. This time, Mr. Kurt really broke.]
