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

Chapter 23 Sir, how about something tough?

"Sir, your Eevee is truly exceptionally well-trained."

"No, no, it's nowhere near as good as your Beedrill."

The young man in the suit waved his hands repeatedly, as he had been brutally defeated in the previous battle.

With a light laugh, Xiao Zhi quickly said.

"I almost lost the battle just now. If your Eevee had evolved, the outcome would have been uncertain!"

"Yeah?"

The young man, who was already very concerned about his image, became a little conceited after being praised.

"That's what I think too."

Ash pressed his advantage.

"Have you ever considered letting Eevee evolve?"

"Actually, I've always wanted him to evolve into Jolteon, but unfortunately I haven't been able to buy the evolution stones."

"That's such a coincidence, sir. I happen to have one here."

"If you really want it, sir, I don't mind reluctantly parting with it, but the price..."

The young man wasn't an idiot; he became somewhat wary. "How much?"

3.

The young man was still a little hesitant.

"You can pay after you use it."

"Deal! I'll buy it!"

Soon the young man left with his Reeves, leaving behind a warm 3 yuan.

"Great, this is the fifth deal we've closed today!" Xiao Zhi couldn't hide his excitement.

He only needs 1 to exchange for evolution stones from the system store, and then resell them for double the profit.

Although the base price of evolution stones in the Pokémon world is 1 League Coins, they are often in short supply, which gives Ash room for arbitrage.

I used to save so much money and worked so hard to accumulate 7 yuan in savings, and this morning I've already made 10 yuan.

No wonder so many people became middlemen back then; they could really make money that way.

However, the business of selling evolution items could no longer continue, because Ash had already contacted almost all the suitable targets.

Wealthy individuals have their own channels, while ordinary trainers cannot afford the price.

Looking at the street lined with stalls inside the ship's cabin, Xiao Zhi decided to switch to a different business.

—————Triceps Abduction———————

After his muscles bulged, Xiao Zhi, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, stuck a flamboyant mustache on his face.

He then put his hat away and put on a bald, Mediterranean-style wig.

With all these preparations complete, Ash officially began setting up his stall to sell healing potions.

A large number of trainers gathered on the cruise ship and battled continuously on the field.

Soon Ash had guests.

"Boss, I've never seen this healing potion before?"

"Honest and reliable, the effects are absolutely amazing, customer! This is a top-secret recipe I got from Professor Oak in Pallet Town."

They shamelessly used Professor Oak as a selling point, but the professor's reputation is indeed widespread.

Many people came to try it out when they heard it was by Professor Oak and that the products could be purchased now and paid for later.

This immediately opened up sales channels for Xiaozhi.

The demand for the healing potion was absolutely explosive; Ash's stall was packed with people, and he made another fortune.

Trainers who have used it all praise it highly, saying that Ash's healing potion is no worse than the medicine produced by the Pokémon Center.

Hearing these praises, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Because Xiao Zhi mixed one dose of the 500-yuan healing potion in the system store with boiled water and bought it as five doses.

However, the effect was still better than the treatments at other stalls.

"These unscrupulous merchants are truly wicked!" Xiao Zhi cursed inwardly, unable to earn more money because he was held back by his own conscience.

Business continued to boom, and in just two days, all the healing potions in Xiaozhi's system shop were sold out.

If you want to sell it again, you'll have to wait for the store interface to refresh.

"Damn it, I should have stocked up more regularly!"

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhi had no choice but to change tracks, realign himself with the rules, and find new leverage points to empower his capital.

While Xiao Zhi was fretting, he suddenly spotted an acquaintance in the crowd.

"That waiter... is Kojiro!"

These rich, idiotic young masters are the easiest to fool; an idea popped into Xiaozhi's mind.

He quickly found the stall selling Magikarp.

This boss is a seasoned swindler.

Xiao Zhi threatened to report him for fraud and bought a Magikarp breeding kit from him for a low price of 200 yuan.

With everything ready, Ash shouted loudly to Kojiro as he walked over.

"Look, little brother! This Pokémon is the king of magpai, the king of magpai! It's Magikarp!"

Ash, disguised as a fishmonger, said to James with a serious expression.

"I'll tell you a secret: this Magikarp can produce gold coins."

"Gold?" Kojiro was actually intrigued by this question.

Moreover, he didn't recognize Ash at all.

"That's right, Magikarp lays 1000 eggs at a time. Just think about it, 1000 Magikarp laying 1000 eggs, 1000 times 1000 is a million!" Fishmonger Ash got more and more excited as he spoke.

"Think about it again, if a million of them were laying eggs... that's an astronomical figure!"

Looking at Kojiro, who was hanging upside down with his mouth agape, Ash knew that this big deal was about to go through.

"Including the egg-laying device, the breeding device, and the education device, how about I sell it to you for 300,000 with a 0% discount, uncle!"

"I'll buy it! I'll buy it!"

Kojiro, holding the Magikarp in the tank, began to fantasize about becoming rich overnight and not having to worry about his family's attitude anymore.

"I'll go get an advance on my salary right now; I want this Magikarp."

Such a fool is rare indeed, and Xiao Zhi was overjoyed.

"My esteemed guest, I see a golden light emanating from behind you!"

[Ding! Congratulations on achieving the achievement: A silver tongue! You have profited 100 million using scams!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +2000; Speed ​​+2; Attack +2; Free Attribute Points +5]

"Deceiving the Rockets? That's called doing a service to the people!"

To prevent Kojiro from coming back, Ash quickly packed up and left.

After Kojiro moved Magikarp to the cruise ship's kitchen to meet up with Jessie Meowth, he unsurprisingly received a beating.

"What?!" Musashi unleashed his "Million-Ton Punch" directly at Kojiro's face.

"You dare to take everyone's wages in advance to buy this kind of thing!"

The heartbroken cat also resorted to frantic scratching.

"Who would buy a Magikarp?! Meow, who would spend 30 yen on a Magikarp?!"

"But look, even the Poké Balls are gold! They're really amazing, so shiny!"

The Poké Ball is actually copper-plated by Ash, and its total cost is 50 yuan more expensive than a regular Poké Ball!

Kojiro, a rich young master, ran away from home to escape an arranged marriage by his wealthy parents.

And he joined the Rockets as soon as he left home.

So his common sense is the most outdated of the three, and he still hasn't realized he's been fooled.

"Magikarp is just a useless hopping thing; nobody would buy that kind of Pokémon!" Jessie roared angrily.

"Do you know how many of these things I can find in any random stream?"

"Our wages, meow, we haven't even finished paying back the loans we took out..."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Meow Meow delivered a flying kick, sending Kojiro flying out of the kitchen.

"Take this useless Magikarp and go get our money back!"

Changing the subject, while Kojiro was desperately searching for the fishmonger, Satoshi, having shed his disguise, began to tally up his gains from the past two days.

They earned a total of 132 million, far exceeding Xiao Zhi's expectations.

"Kojiro actually gave me 30 yen. Are the Rockets' salaries that high?"

He initially asked for 30 yen to get Kojiro to negotiate the price, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.

"I didn't call you enough!" Xiao Zhi slammed his fist on the table in regret.

However, Xiao Zhi is already very satisfied with making so much money, so he'll stop for now. If he keeps trying to make more, things might get out of hand.

Ash was overjoyed as he looked at the trainers on the battlefield around him.

Now it's time to enjoy the battle!

"Don't hold back, unleash a million-ton punch!!"

With a sneer, Pixie swung his arm and punched the arrogant uncle opposite him, shattering his front tooth and ending their winning streak.

"That's incredible!"

"What an amazing trainer!"

Ash's Pokémon performance amazed the surrounding audience.

These battles did not involve any particularly strong enemies.

As his winning streak continues, his reputation will gradually spread among trainers, and even stronger opponents will come looking for him tomorrow.

If this ship can hold out until tomorrow.

Because we're approaching international waters.

As night fell, the banquet in the cruise ship's lobby drew to a close.

Ash and his friends are also devouring the mountain of delicious food in front of them. Since he started training, his appetite has been enormous.

While eating, Ash also firmly refused a middle-aged man in a suit's request to trade Pokémon.

This guy is shameless; he actually wants to trade Rattata for Ash's Clefairy.

Ash will not trade his Pokémon, even if the other party offers a legendary Pokémon in exchange.

After refusing the uncle's request once again, several large doors leading from the inside of the hall to the outside suddenly slammed shut at the same time.

The glass windows on both sides were also locked, and at the same time, steel bars were quickly lowered, completely sealing off the entire hall in an instant.

The surrounding waiters collectively tore off their disguises, revealing their Team Rocket uniforms underneath, each with a device resembling a vacuum cleaner on their back.

The Rockets' operation has begun.
