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

Chapter 52 Ibuki's Four Brothers

Another day of getting lost, just like always.

Ash was already numb to it all. He released Eevee and started searching for wild Pokémon in the nearby grass.

Just then, Eevee seemed to have made an unexpected discovery and cried out towards a tree hole.

"Eevee~ Eevee!"

"What's wrong? Did you discover something?"

Inside the tree hollow was an Eevee wearing a bell.

"Oh my, how cute! I can't believe I met Eevee in the wild."

Xiaoxia excitedly rushed over, picked it up, and refused to let go.

"Please don't get agitated, Miss. Eevee has an owner."

Pick up the small metal plaque next to the tree hole and place it in front of Xiaoxia.

"Evolution Town 404 - Taiichi, this should be this person's Eevee."

"Ah~, it's a lost Pokémon."

"This is a good thing. It means there are towns around us that haven't needed supplies for a long time."

Although the system shop also has food, it's ridiculously expensive, and Ash won't buy it unless absolutely necessary.

"Okay."

After all, Misty isn't the type of person to take someone else's Pokémon for herself, but she still feels disappointed.

Using its waveguide senses, Ash quickly located the town and then, following the road signs, found the owner's house.

"Wow, it's huge!"

It's incredible that such a large villa exists in this remote, desolate town.

Ash and his friends didn't even get to see their master. The gatekeeper picked up Eevee and brought three more evolution stones as a thank you gift.

"This family is really rich."

He casually gave out three evolution stones.

After sending Eevee back, Ash and Misty went to the town's inn.

Because she was too tired from training in the morning, Xiaoxia fell asleep as soon as she got to her room.

After gently covering her with the blanket and leaving a mark to prevent any danger, Xiao Zhi immediately returned to the large villa they had visited earlier.

Evolution Town, nestled at the foot of the Evolution Mountains, has a rather casual name, but it directly points out the unique characteristics of this small town at the foot of the mountain.

It's a town that produces all kinds of evolution stones, and the people in this town are all employees of a mining company and their families.

The company is owned by the Ibu family, whose mansion is located in the center of town.

Ash hid in the shadows and observed.

Today, their family is holding a grand celebration to commemorate the youngest of the four brothers' first time.

My first Pokémon battle.

"What's there to celebrate?" Xiao Zhi said, indicating that he didn't quite understand the thinking of rich people.

Just then, a sound came from inside the courtyard. Xiao Zhi looked closely and was even more shocked.

The men directing the servants in the courtyard were none other than three burly men with terrible fashion sense.

Colorful, flamboyant hairstyles, and eye-catchingly tight pants.

And the old man's undershirt that exuded a magnetic, imperial taste made Xiao Zhi feel ashamed.

"Is this the kind of taste a normal person should have? Don't let it poison this land."

Ash carefully compared the information he had gathered on the way here.

These three people should be the three brothers, Rai, Huo, and Shui, who are currently in charge of the Ibu family.

This also reveals the dangers in the Kanto region; how many large families have been forced to hand over power to their children after the death of both parents?

It was precisely because the Eevee family wasn't doing well that Ash wanted to see if they could cooperate.

"Butler, is everything arranged for the banquet?"

Raizo, the eldest of the three brothers, looked at the list in his hand with a serious expression.

"Of course, we have prepared all the equipment we could buy, including an ultrasound machine specifically for examining Pokémon."

At that moment, a tall, muscular bald man with a mustache descended from the sky and landed on the grass in the courtyard.

The exaggerated entrance immediately put the three brothers, Lei, Huo, and Shui, on their guard.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

"I heard they offer ultrasound scans here, so I came."

The bald, muscular man said in a serious tone.

Raizo was a little confused by this. Did he come to borrow the machine?

"What about pregnant Pokémon?"

"Can!"

You can do whatever you want, Raizo is sure this person has something wrong with their head!

Quickly turn around and shout

"Where are the security guards?"

"Alright!"

Upon hearing this, the security guards at the scene immediately covered their buttocks and dared not approach.

"..."

The more composed second brother, Archie, immediately realized what was happening.

"Today is just a banquet for our younger brother, Taiyi. Please state your purpose clearly."

"Actually, I am the God of Muscles, and I have come here today to reward you."

Judging from their t-shirts and tight pants, the three brothers must be fitness enthusiasts.

Ash took off his shirt and activated the "Super Rookie 2" mode to show them what he was made of.

As Ash's muscles twitched, a strong wind swept through the courtyard, making it difficult for Raizo to open his eyes.

"Those beautiful muscle lines, that powerful aura! Could it be... could it really be the god of muscles?"

"Just thinking about it, it's impossible!"

The third brother, Mizichi, punched his unreliable older brother and quickly released his water sprite.

"Water Spirit, use Water Pulse!"

But Ash didn't dodge at all, casually slapping away the Water Pulse and arriving in front of the Vaporeon.

Another slap, and the water sprite lost its ability to fight.

"This weak force cannot defeat me."

They need to broaden their horizons. Ash put his hands on his waist and assumed the Kamehameha pose, gathering power towards the distant mountain.

"Ah ...

This attack contained 80% of Ash's Aura power. The energy beam shot forward and then exploded with a loud bang.

A huge gash was blasted open on the distant mountain peak by Ash.

The terrifying power stunned everyone present.

Apart from the three brothers Lei, Huo, and Shui, everyone else immediately scattered and fled.

"It takes 20 seconds from charging up to unleashing this move."

Sighing inwardly, Ash realized he was still not strong enough.

Ignoring the fleeing people, he casually pulled out a bottle of healing potion and handed it to Mizchi.

"This is for healing Pokémon. We'll give it to Vaporeon later."

Mizchi was still full of questions after receiving the medicine.

"Give me the medicine. Aren't you an assassin sent by the second-in-command company across the street?"

What kind of company is this? Xiao Zhi had absolutely no idea.

"I told you, I'm here to give you a reward!"

"Let's go to a suitable place and have a proper talk."

——————He's the god of muscles! ——————

In a secluded living room inside the mansion, Ash had removed the disguise from his face, but his body shape had not yet returned to normal.

"What exactly does Mr. Muscle God want to do?"

The first to speak was Raizo, the eldest of the three brothers.

"You are all good people because you love fitness, so I have come to protect you."

Seeing that Ash still wouldn't tell the truth, Raizo had no choice but to reveal his own secrets.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Muscle God, our family is in a very bad situation right now."

"After our parents died, the second son of a gangster, who was once the company's biggest rival, tried to force us brothers to hand over the mines we owned."

"Not only that, he also hired Team Rocket to assassinate us several times."

"Colluding with Team Rocket? Didn't you report this to the League?" Ash hadn't expected Team Rocket to be involved.

"Of course it was reported, but as you can see, Evolution Town is located in such a remote place that it is on the periphery of the Alliance's power, and the Alliance is willing but unable to do anything about it."

That makes sense. Even in big cities, the alliance's police force is so weak, let alone in such remote corners.

"The oppression from the second son is getting more and more severe. He often secretly sends people to sabotage our production and squeeze our sales channels."

Raizo took out the company's profit and loss statement and handed it to Satoshi.

"The family is now close to bankruptcy and has even started to default on wages."

No wonder those security guards ran away so readily; they were broke.

"The reason we're holding this celebration for my younger brother's first duel today is to show the outside world that the family has gained another male member capable of fighting..."

At this moment, Archie, the second son who was staring at his family photo, suddenly spoke up.

"As you can see, our family is on the verge of life and death."

"You're so powerful, we can't stop you from doing whatever you want. We just beg you to spare our brother's life."

After hearing what they said, Xiao Zhi felt that he had come to the right place today.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Join my organization and let me protect your family's safety."
