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

Chapter 53 Crimson Group

"The second son on the other side not only wants to swallow up your company, but also the lives of your entire family."

"If you obey me, you will not only still receive half of the company's profits, but I will also guarantee your safety."

Xiao Zhi stood up, his tall and sturdy figure looming over the three brothers.

"How many times has Team Rocket tried to assassinate you?"

"This is the fifth time already."

"I will take care of it for you."

For some reason, Raizo always felt that Ash's words were very trustworthy.

"If it can protect my family's safety, I don't mind obeying you, but..."

"There are no buts. All you have to do is believe to your heart's content."

"Come and trust in me!"

After their parents died, the three brothers had been living in anxiety and confusion, but at this moment they only felt at peace.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your talent level has increased from Orator LV1 to LV2 (It's time to find a beer hall.)]

The orator's qualities are invaluable.

"But that second son of the gangsters colluded with other evolution stone suppliers to destroy all of our company's sales channels."

"Even without Ci Nan, the other suppliers are unlikely to give back the share they've taken."

"Our company used to be the largest supplier of evolution stones in the Kanto League, but now..."

Now I finally understand why there's always been a shortage of Evolution Stones in the Kanto region; this is the root of the problem.

"Don't worry about that. And don't call me a god, just call me..."

Xiao Zhi doesn't want to use his real name yet, but he really doesn't have much talent for naming things. After thinking for a while, he finally came up with a name.

"From now on, call me Crimson."

Ash actually has quite a few channels for selling Evolution Stones.

Those who would buy Evolution Stones are undoubtedly trainers.

There's no better place to find a trainer than in front of a gym.

Ash has access to three gyms, all of which are among the eight gyms in the League.

------------

That night, Ash snapped his fingers and summoned the trio of James and his friends.

"Hmm, where is this place?"

The three people each had a bowl of noodles in their hands, and it seemed they had been summoned halfway through their dinner.

Ash looked at them speechlessly. "You didn't just spend all the money I gave you on food, did you?"

"Meow, how could this be, Ash-sama?"

Meowth immediately rubbed his hands together and came over to pat Ash's shoulders, while Jessie and Kojiro were still frantically shoveling noodles into their bowls.

"Smack smack, we'll always keep Ash's words in our hearts."

"Alright, the reason I called you all here today is because I have an important task for you tonight."

"You guys should be very familiar with the Rockets' style of play."

"Of course, we are the Rockets."

Ash has already obtained the location of the second son's company from Raizo.

Their base was also on this evolutionary mountain range, and on the other side of the mountain range.

He wants to resolve this problem tonight.

The three people and one cat sat on his back after he released the Charizard and flew towards Goro's company location.

Tonight's mission requires concealing one's identity, so Ash specially brought his rarely used Rattata, Dodrio, Baku, and Arbok.

He took out several black robes and masks from his backpack and handed them to Kojiro and the others.

[Stone Mask: You can't become a vampire, but it's welded to your face and will never fall off! (You should continue being human)]

[Price: 3000 Alliance Coins; 47/50 Remaining]

"What a scary mask, boss..."

Kojiro was a little scared looking at the spikes behind the mask.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt. Wear them all, or I'll put them on for you!"

Upon hearing what Ash said, the three of them quickly pressed the Stone Mask onto their faces.

The spikes fused into my body after touching my face, and I didn't feel any pain at all.

"No one's name is allowed to be mentioned during the operation, understand?"

"Understood, boss!" ×3

Ash also changed into his bio-armor suit, and Charizard flew at full speed, quickly arriving at the target location.

Even the old jetpack was getting a bit exhausted from carrying so many people at such a high altitude.

"Well done, Charizard, get some rest."

The second son's residence is a town similar to Evolution Town, but perhaps slightly larger.

Even though it's nighttime, the mines next to the town are still brightly lit.

"They're still working so late at night." What kind of unscrupulous factory is this?

Moreover, the mine's defenses were extremely poor, with overseers chatting in small groups, leaving many blind spots between them.

The operation began immediately, with Ash and Meowth splitting up to carry out their tasks.

With lightning speed and practiced skill, Xiao Zhi quickly knocked out and tied up the security personnel around the mine one by one.

No one noticed anything unusual during the process.

"Arbok's black mist, Dream Eater's hypnosis!"

The already exhausted workers all fell into a smooth sleep under the influence of the black mist and hypnosis.

And Kojiro and his friends were quite reliable this time, discovering and capturing Team Rocket members hiding in the town one by one.

"Why do you know so much about our hiding place?"

The team captains of Team Rocket still couldn't understand.

Why else? Musashi and Kojiro were the two best trainees at Team Rocket's training school.

Sometimes, when the teacher wasn't around, the two of them would be in charge of teaching.

Kojiro still feels a bit emotional when he thinks about it, wondering why he ended up in such a miserable state after his official debut.

"Is everything settled?" Xiao Zhi asked, leading the mine's security personnel to the meeting point.

"Mission accomplished, boss!"

"Alright!" Without saying a word, Ash immediately started beating up these 'captives'.

"Will you tell me or not! Will you tell me or not!"

"Ah, ah, ah... what are you saying?"

The squad leader was extremely aggrieved; this guy must be crazy.

"You're asking people to talk without asking anything? What are they even talking about?"

"Didn't you ask?"

"We've been waiting for you, boss."

This was awkward, but luckily Ash had the thick skin to pull the bruised and swollen team leader up from the ground.

"Tell me your boss's location!"

------------

Deep within the Evolution Mountains, in a room undetectable by any detector.

The Mighty Giant and the Tyrannosaurus Rex, equipped with large root tubers, are having a heart-to-heart talk with the second son.

Yes, it's him tickling his feet again! (Really!)

Accompanied by his moans of pleasure, and the trembling Kojiro and his two companions trying to coax him into confessing.

In just half an hour, the second man had recruited everyone he could and couldn't, and also handed over their company's accounting books.

This guy has been spending money to bribe officials in the alliance in order to acquire Raizo and his company.

At the same time, a significant portion of the profits was also distributed to other suppliers, leaving the company with only 5000 million yuan in working capital.

However, that's still a lot; an additional 5000 million in revenue in one night!

The second son, who was on trial, watched as the burly man in military uniform broke into his house and came before him.

Beneath that gas mask must lie a pair of bloodthirsty and cruel eyes.

"You dare to share the same name as my most respected emperor? That's one thing."

"You're still not a magnetic brat, no solid muscles! Absolutely heinous! You bald, Mediterranean-looking guy, you're punished by having to enjoy this for another two hours!"

What exactly is this person trying to do?!

"Ah~ Who exactly is the Emperor? Spare me!"

In the latter half of that night, Raizo and the others were finally able to get a good night's sleep.

Because all the core members of the second male company were tied up and placed in the courtyard of the Ibu family.

"I never thought you'd be in this situation, second son."

He was still wearing his flamboyant old man shirt and tight pants, but today Raizo's face was no longer somber, but full of smiles.

The Thunder, Fire, and Water brothers looked at Ash with eyes full of admiration.

Ash glanced at their loyalty levels; even the lowest, Mizuki, had a loyalty of 61.

He pulled out the evidence of the second son's crime from his pocket and handed it to them, while pushing Kojiro and the other two behind him forward.

"These three will temporarily represent me in rebuilding the company."

"As for how to deal with the second son and his ilk, and how to report to the Alliance, I don't need to teach you, do I?"

"Rest assured, Muscle God, we are very familiar with this. Everything that happened tonight was caused by Team Rocket double-crossing us!"

After that day, Ibrahimovic Company and the neighboring Second Son Company went bankrupt and reorganized into the Red Group.

The people in both towns woke up in astonishment, but no one knew what had happened.

But soon nobody cared.

The people of Evolution Town received their back wages, and the people of Second Man Town found that their working hours had been shortened, with a 9-to-5 schedule and weekends off!

Everyone cheered, "It's long overdue for a new boss!"

[Ding! Side quest completed: It's always best to have your own place!: Own your own territory]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Free Attribute Points +2; Unlocks various furniture items in the shop]

Back at the inn, Ash checked out the new furniture that had appeared in the system shop.

"Redwood...sandalwood...home teleportation device..."

"Oh, is this also furniture?"
