Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 929 Special Training and the Last Treasure Master

Having finished his duties at the academy, Xiaozhi led the three students on their continued journey of application testing.

First stop! Jinhui City! A city known as the food paradise of Padiya.

However, the three little ones didn't have time to taste the food.

In the empty parking lot of Bao Hui Cafeteria, the three little ones nervously watched their opponents.

"Junior students, don't blame your senior, Ash gave us way too much." Nemo looked at the three little ones excitedly as she weighed the Poké Ball in her hand.

That's right, this champion is the training partner that Ash hired with a sandwich!

The goal is to upgrade the team level of Riko and the other two, and also increase their strength. After all, they have been progressing smoothly recently, and we need to find someone to make them understand that their skills are nothing special.

"You might think you're already pretty good and capable of challenging gyms."

"But you're still too green to fight me." Nemo clapped her hands, and a group of young trainers lined up and came forward.

"These are all challenge applicants from Jinhui Dojo. Teacher Xiaozhi said that once you've dealt with them and then settled things with me, your ordeal will be over."

Riko and her two companions exchanged glances, gradually becoming accustomed to Ash's extreme battles, and nodded as they each prepared to face their opponents.

“Wait a minute, Xiaodian, go over there and work on the blacksmith first.” Nemo pointed to two wrecked cars not far away: “Take them apart as you like, just raise your Little Blacksmith level to Skilled Blacksmith first. Your Little Blacksmith skill is barely enough to play whack-a-mole right now.”

"Hehe. Then I won't stand on ceremony with the teacher." Little Dot led the little blacksmith excitedly to the corner.

"You two, shall we begin as well?" Faced with a large number of wild experience packs, Rico and Roy nodded and prepared themselves.

Extreme leveling, that's what the teacher taught us...

……

And what is Ash Ketchum doing right now?

In the northwest of Jinhui City, in the middle of a large lake shrouded in mist, Xiao Zhi calmly sat cross-legged, holding a fishing rod with nothing on it, fishing dry!

“According to the information, the treasure owner and the secret seasoning should be in the Twin Gorges ahead,” Pipa said excitedly.

"Don't rush, is the wasabi soy sauce ready yet?" Xiao Zhi pouted.

"No, the treasure master will disguise himself as sushi, not real sushi, teacher..." Pipa was speechless.

"Huh?" Xiao Zhi rubbed his stomach; he hadn't eaten breakfast and was waiting for this meal.

"Heh... It's rare for me to be moved, and you've made me lose so completely."

Seeing Ash stand up, his body emitting black smoke, Pipa started sweating.

"Hey, a sandwich with all five seasonings is so delicious you'll cry!!" Pipa quickly assured him.

"Oh~!" Ash replied, regaining his composure. "Okay then."

"However, this treasure owner..."

"Let it go!" Ash waved his hand domineeringly, "I'm really hungry right now, and I'm really angry!"

Suddenly, a huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the water, and a giant, guzzling creature appeared, its tongue perched on three pieces of sushi.

"Huh?" Just as Chihouba was about to show off his domineering aura as the master of the treasure, he felt himself being shrouded in a shadow.

Looking up, he saw a roaring whale king as big as a small mountain, its two cute little bean eyes staring at him.

Hey bro, trying to scam me?

Rumble~ Thunderclouds flashed in the sky. Chirp and his three little brothers looked up and saw Ash pointing one finger to the sky.

Pikachu and its two half-hanging sons are now standing next to Ash with their arms crossed.

"I wonder if it's safe to eat after being cooked by electric heating?"

"Big Thunder!"

Boom!! A violent bolt of lightning descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the entire lake surface. The Whale King, holding up its protective light shield, cautiously drifted with the current.

With a hiss, when the lightning subsided and the dark clouds dispersed, only a few innocent treasure masters, their bodies shrouded in white smoke, remained on the lake.

"Alright, all done. Go make dinner." As they docked at Twin Gorges, Ash turned to look at Pipa.

"Alright!" Without Ash's prompting, Pipa dashed into the island's cave.

Soon—buzz!—a burst of seven-colored golden light erupted from the cave.

Ash and Pikachu tilted their heads and looked over: "In a way, the person who can cook and make this noise is truly a genius."

"I did it! Hahaha, Godfather Mastiff, we did it!" With Pipa's joyful shout, a powerful-looking Godfather Mastiff followed Pipa out.

"Awooo!" The Mastiff Godfather scrutinized Xiao Zhi with his gaze. Xiao Zhi grinned, a golden light flashing in his eyes.

"What are you?"

"Awooo?!" The Mastiff Godfather instantly tucked his tail between his legs and retreated.

"Uh..." Seeing his most trusted godfather being glared at by Ash, Pipa finally realized that Ash might be even more terrifying than some Pokémon...

"Don't worry, Pipa is, after all, an 'intangible cultural heritage' of the Grape Academy. I'll give him face." Xiao Zhi smiled and shook his head.

“Phew. Thank you, teacher.” Piper bowed deeply. “I hope you can train me. I need to become stronger for what I need to do next!”

“It’s not impossible.” Ash scratched his ear. “However, let’s talk about it after you’ve increased your number of handheld Pokémon to 6 and have a complete system.”

“Yes! This is my apprenticeship gift!” A large box of sandwiches, shimmering with iridescent colors, was handed over by Pipa with both hands.

"Thanks. Time to head home." Ash nodded, preparing to have Milton eat it later.

Milton has recovered most of his energy, but he still can't unleash a single skill.

Xiao Zhi felt that it was like a tank with its weapon systems locked. A specific password was needed to get it into battle mode.

Considering his own legendary Pokémon, Ash doesn't really need Milton's combat power; he'll take it slow.

Ash led Piper back to Golden City, where he found the three little ones in a mess in the parking lot.

"No... I told you to train, and you went to PK with people in real life?" Ash asked speechlessly.

Although the three little ones were exhausted, their eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

"Teacher. They lost the game and were still not satisfied, so we had a fight." Roy said proudly, his pig-like head sticking out.

"Well done! Juniors, great job!" Piper gave a thumbs up.

"Hehe..." Roy scratched his head sheepishly. It was clear he'd protected Little Dot and Riko, taking a beating in the process...

"Where's Nemo? I told her to watch over you guys, and this is how she watches you?" Ash asked, rolling his eyes.

"Teacher, Senior Nemo went to the police station to settle some matters," Xiaodian reported.

"Alright, at least she's somewhat useful." Xiao Zhi nodded helplessly, looking at the three students who were covered in dust from their journey.

"Let's go get some ramen, it's on me."

"Aww! Thank you, teacher!" The three little ones and Pipa cheered together.

Pulling open the sliding door, a man with dark circles under his eyes was sitting in the corner, holding a bowl of buckwheat noodle soup.

"Ha... All that hard work of the day, just for this one bite..."

The three children exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Aoki?!"

To be continued...
