Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 982 Kanto Limited-Time Return

Zhenxin Town, a pure white and pristine town in the Kanto region.

The three-story red-roofed building, with its wisps of smoke rising from its chimneys, exudes a serene and tranquil atmosphere against the backdrop of the morning light.

A red convertible sports car stopped at the entrance of the garden nursery. An elderly man with gray hair and a young man with short dark green hair and glasses pushed open the door and entered.

"Pikachu~" Three figures ran out of the door and jumped into the old man's arms.

"Oh my! Pikachu, long time no see. Your two big fat sons are quite heavy~" The old man hugged the two Raichu in his arms, letting Pikachu perch on his shoulders and rub against his forehead.

"Xiao Lei, Xiao Dian, don't bother Grandpa Da Mu, you'll hurt your back." Serena said irritably as she walked out of the house wearing a red cardigan and an apron.

Her long, flaxen hair cascaded over her shoulders, and there was a flower stem holding a black stamen.

"Oh~ that's it..." Professor Oak's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but want to get closer to take a look, but the little guy hid directly in Serena's long hair.

"Ah, this..." Professor Oak scratched his head helplessly.

"Professor, this child has just experienced separation, let him calm down." Ash's voice came from outside the door. He was wearing an open white stand-up collar shirt, a burgundy jacket draped over his wrist, and a towel around his neck.

"You haven't broken your habit of jogging in the morning yet?" a young scholar with dark green, tousled hair joked with a smile.

"You're no different." Ash smiled and stepped forward, the two exchanging high-fives and fist bumps. "Professor Souji!"

"I'm still just a doctoral assistant," Muneji reminded him.

"Almost there!" Ash patted the other's shoulder. Because of the situation with the Gary brothers, Souji gave up his high salary at Sakuragi Labs and returned to Professor Oak's lab to take on the role of an assistant.

It was because of him that Ash was able to investigate and adventure in Padia with peace of mind.

"I've made breakfast, everyone come and eat!" Serena's gentle smile had a comforting power.

In a daze, Professor Oak seemed to see a young Hanako.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, today is the lecture day, we can't be late."

Xiao Zhi sat at the dining table, drinking hot milk as he asked, "Where are those two little rascals?"

"They said they're going to Viridian Forest for training, and they'll meet us at Indigo Academy later." Serena smiled and shook her head.

"Those two are such little rascals, our Xin'er is so much better."

The child was originally intended to be cared for by Citron, but considering that the reconstruction of Miare would take time, this was not the case.

So, Ash and his wife decided to take the child out for a few more days. After that, Machiavelli would take over and temporarily care for her.

She's practically like Ulte's little sister. These past few days, no matter where Ulte runs off to, he always remembers to come back and bring her a piece of candy or a wildflower.

"Professor Oak..." Ash suddenly spoke up during the meal.

"Don't worry, I will bring everyone back."

Professor Oak paused, then gave a pleased smile: "Of course, you're from Pallet Town, a legendary trainer!"

The reason for returning to Pallet Town was that Shigeru had finally sent a message again after so long.

Although this kid looks like a caveman, there's no doubt he's doing very well. He eats organic food every day, exercises regularly, and is in excellent spirits.

Since he's fine, the other two are even less likely to have problems.

Moreover, this message wasn't just a simple report that he was safe. According to Xiao Mao, the force that had been hindering his communication with the outside world seemed to have weakened.

Moreover, the crystallization of that paradoxical force nearby, although it has become more active recently, seems to be decreasing in total quantity.

Simply put, it is activated, sometimes even reaching a state of explosive growth, but there are external forces using it, and the degree of consumption is even faster than its explosive growth!

Based on Gary's information, Ash quickly realized the problem: the extraction and utilization of Lac elements.

Only one person could create such a huge energy gap: Spinner, who regarded it as the ultimate principle!

Recently, power-up balls have been appearing all over the league, and their numbers are starting to get out of control.

Through cross-referencing by Interpol, it can be basically confirmed that Spinner has secured a stable source and has begun large-scale mining and utilization of this element.

With the information from Gary and the other party's location, Ash was certain that there was more to the story in the Padia Giant Pit!

However, the problem now facing everyone is that Beyond Company possesses a legal and compliant development certificate issued by the Padiya region.

All the illegal operations were carried out by underground factories or contract manufacturers.

As Ash Ketchum, the "development zone" leader, and as the head of Padia, Yaji, they can only show concern, not directly investigate.

Because it involves "trade secrets".

Therefore, official channels have been blocked! Only through private investigations, evidence collection, and obtaining concrete evidence can this malignant tumor, Spinner, be resolved openly and legitimately.

And coincidentally, Xiaozhi knew of a non-governmental organization that was very suitable for doing this.

That's right, it's... the Ascended Volt Attack Team. Although officially endorsed, it's been defamed by Spinner and the "New Exploration Team".

Currently, the Ascended Volt Attack Team is seen by everyone as a sensationalist and morally bankrupt amateur adventure organization.

This title is perfect for allowing the Ascended Volt Attack Team to operate discreetly while making contact with and investigating Spinner's conspiracy!

Most importantly, if any commotion is made, Spinner will definitely not be able to resist taking action against the Ascended Volt Attack Team.

Because the Ascended Volt Attack Team knows all too well the truth about his weaknesses, the Powerball, and the Rak's Element.

If he wants to maintain a positive image, he must get rid of those in the know, like Satoshi and his friends!

But if he dares to extend his claws, he will inevitably reveal a weakness! Then…

Hansen, far away in Padiya, still remembered what Xiaozhi said: "Gather evidence quietly and solidify the chain of evidence."

Then, you don't need to worry about anything. You just need to slap the evidence in the faces of the officials. I'll take care of Spinner that very day. No need for a trial, I'll just exterminate him!

For this purpose, Ash made a decision: to reassemble Team Ascended!

Although the first round is over, Spinner, don't worry, we'll continue in the second round.

Whether it's Lac or Spinner, Ash will annihilate them!

As for Xiao Mao and the other two, they'll have to endure some more hardship—at least six months, and at most a year and a half. Anyway, they'll regain their freedom sooner or later.

Once Spinner is dealt with, we can conveniently locate the core seal of the Padia Crater.

This is all very easy!

After eating and drinking their fill, Ash accompanied Professor Oak and Souji into the sports car, their destination: Indigo Academy.

It's time to take my lovely student back to Padiya!
