Chapter 88

Oh dear!

Why is it me again?

Hanako stared at the black light screen, dazed again. At that time, although Ash hadn't won the Champion title, he at least made the top 16, and even Xiaomao made the top 32.

Although they held a celebration banquet upon returning, did they take photos with them then to boost their rapport?

The Black Light Screen version of himself did so well—Xiaomao even has a sports‑car girlfriend—while Ash, though traveling with several girls now, seems to have no particular thoughts; is he waiting for his own assist?

Main hall of the Crystal Conference.

The Team Rocket trio watched Ash surrounded by flashing lights, feeling happy for his Crystal Conference championship win.

Those brats are so awesome, they actually got the championship!

Pikachu is also impressive; no wonder it's the Pokemon we took a liking to—it's truly strong!

Haha, the stronger Pikachu gets, the more excited we are; if we could snatch such a powerful Pokemon and hand it over to Boss Sakaki, we could really get a promotion and raise, becoming executives!

The Team Rocket trio looked excited, finding Pikachu's strength formidable, but instead of feeling anxious, they were thrilled.

They have seen Pikachu grow this strong; although it was strong from the start, its current strength is inseparable from them—if it weren't for them constantly harassing those brats, Pikachu's 100,000 Volts wouldn't have had so many training chances.

Even though catching Pikachu has become much harder, they will still grow stronger; each failure won't make them give up—on the contrary, it will make them even stronger.

Pikachu is strong, but we're not pushovers—we can get stronger too!

For Boss Sakaki, for Team Rocket, we must get stronger and catch Pikachu!!

The Team Rocket trio decided they too must train hard, to catch up with those brats.

Musashi: Great, this is the spirit our Team Rocket should have.

Shinjiro: Tremble, you little brat.

Tie Xuan: You guys are really lively, very perseverant, I really admire you.

Miaomiao: Old man, your eyesight is pretty good!

Ma Zhishi: Idiot! They're mocking you, saying you only have perseverance and are useless.

Shinjiro: Jeez, you old fool, you're really terrible.

Tie Xuan: No, I'm really praising you, I'm not mocking you, believe me!

Dian Ci: That's right, you Team Rocket Trio are just like that, very fitting!

Xiaomao: Nonsense, what big truth!

The comments were actually right........ Sakaki watched the Team Rocket Trio, thought about it, each time he assigned them a task they didn't complete, but later they saved him in the Unova region, after that he wasn't strict with them, felt it didn't matter whether they finished their tasks, and didn't pursue them.

However, Team Rocket now needs people like Musashi, Shinjiro, and them.

Sakaki boss laughed?!

Zheniao felt surprised, it was the first time seeing him smile at those three, perhaps he was laughed at by those three, the tasks he assigned them were never completed, and they were also mocked by others, simply throwing away the face of their Team Rocket.

"I'm furious, what nonsense are those people spouting!"

Team Rocket was furious about this, belittling them as having only perseverance and being useless.

Although what was said is all true, it's too hurtful.

No, they need to work hard, so when they appear before those doubting them, they can really shock them.

Black World—

They recorded a series of photos, Ash and his group went back to celebrate.

Da Mu Professor was very relieved; Pallet Town rarely saw both champion and runner-up appear at once, four Trainers set out together, only two Trainers had collected eight Badges, and these two Trainers were also the champion and runner-up of the Stone League.

Huazi was talking with Xiaoxia.

Pikachu was bringing Celebi to eat cake, while watching Celebi, afraid Celebi would dive into the cake, and meanwhile eating his beloved ketchup.

"Ash, what are your plans?"

Xiaomao asked Ash about his future plans.

"Keep traveling, this is just the beginning!"

Ash said that winning the Stone League championship was just his first step; after all, becoming a Poké Ball Master, becoming champion is just the first step, and he is only the Stone League champion, still far from the regional champion, so he plans to travel to other regions to see more Poké Ball and battle with more Poké Ball Trainers.

"You've always been so determined!"

Xiaomao now also has a goal, which differs somewhat from Ash's goal.

"And you?"

Ash looked toward Xiaomao.

"Pretty much the same as you!"

After a while of chatting, the two talked about things on their journey, and also told Xiaomao about Mewtwo.

"Mewtwo? Dream Illusion?"

Xiaomao never expected Team Rocket to have done such a thing, and even more unexpected was that he himself was actually facing a divine beast, no wonder he couldn't beat it, and it also gave him an unprecedented sense of oppression.

At that time he already knew that Poké Ball was not simple, but he didn't expect that the Poké Ball wearing armor and violently beating him was actually the divine beast Mewtwo.

It could only be a divine beast, because at that time the Pokédex didn't have its information yet.

Even more surprising, Ash had actually battled Mewtwo before, and he also heard Brock say that Outstanding Turtle underwent a double evolution.

Upon hearing this, Xiaomao was quite shocked; Ash's journey was even more exciting.

"Hmm, do you want to catch a Fossil Poké Ball?"

Da Mu Professor found those few Poké Ball that were always active and liked to fight.

"Really possible?"

Brock looked at the Sickle Helmet, eyes glowing, a Rock-type Poké Ball, he really liked it.

"Of course, after all, the Fossil Poké Ball is what you discovered."

Da Mu Professor received Ash's call, but that place was already known, many had gone there, so the League officials simply decided to entrust the Fossil Poké Ball to Da Mu Professor for management.

"Cough cough, I still have something to trouble Ash."

He showed the GS Ball picture, Professor Daimu worriedly said: "This GS Ball cannot be researched for now; please help me go to Professor Neimu in the Orange Islands and bring it back!"

"Moreover, there are also Poké Ball League battles there; I thought about it and this matter is most suitable for you to handle, and you can also continue challenging the League there."

"Orange Islands?"

Hearing Professor Daimu's high praise of Professor Neimu, Ash's eyes lit up; moreover, the Orange Islands also have a Gym that can be challenged, and the challenge method is not the traditional Gym battle style, but is assessed by comparing moves.

Also, the Orange Islands require collecting four Badges to challenge the top trainer. Unlike Stone, Johto, Abundant, or Mystic, this is not an international major league.

"All right, don't worry, Professor Daimu, I will definitely bring the GS Ball back intact."

Ash promised, his eyes full of excitement, and he was about to start a new journey.

【Xiao Jian: Here I come, here I come, I'm going to appear!】

【Brock: Don't rush, there's still Pidgeot that hasn't appeared.】

【Tiantian: How will Black Satoshi handle the evolved Big-beaked Sparrow? Surely he won't again, like Bai Shijie, release the Pidgeot into the forest to protect the Pidgey flock?】
