"Wow... this is really outrageous." Ash stood with his hands in his pockets in front of a skyscraper. A dozen or so people dressed as Team Rocket lay beside him. Ash had initially thought that Team Rocket, being an evil organization, would have a well-hidden base. However, when he asked someone that morning, the person simply pointed to the tallest skyscraper and calmly said, "That's Team Rockets Headquarter." The skyscraper pierced the clouds, with four large characters on its door: Team Rockets Headquarters. Holy crap... to be able to operate so openly as an evil organization, this is absolutely awesome.
Ash dusted off the dust from his earlier fight and walked into Team Rockets Headquarter. Since it was an automatic door, Ash didn't need to push it; the door opened by itself.
"Welcome to Team Rockets Headquarter! Our boss has been waiting for you for quite some time." As Ash entered Team Rockets Headquarter, a blonde, busty beauty standing at the entrance bowed and smiled at him.
"Waiting for me for quite some time?" Hearing this, Ash sized up the woman. She was undeniably beautiful, with large breasts and very smooth skin. This beauty wasn't wearing a Team Rocket uniform, but rather a waitress's uniform. The skirt was so short you could almost see her underwear. Her large breasts were tightly encased in the clothing, as if they might jump out at any moment. Wearing such alluring clothes, she was like a captivating beauty. No, she was an irresistible beauty, radiating an irresistible temptation that made men want to seduce her and have their way with her.
"What's your name?" Ash raised an eyebrow and asked. Although the woman looked like a slut, Ash knew she was no ordinary person. The moment he saw her, he heard a message in his mind: this woman was a boss-level character.
"Heh, asking a woman's name on the first meeting is impolite," the woman said with a meaningful smile.
"Fine, don't tell me then," Ash said, ignoring her and walking inside.
"Domino is my name," the woman said, a hint of annoyance in her voice as she watched Ash walk past her. "Is my charm really that weak?" she thought.
"Domino, the captain of Team Six..." Ash knew this woman was no ordinary person; he hadn't expected her to be Domino.
"Looks like you've done a lot of research. You should know what kind of person I am," Domino said, covering her mouth with a smile when Ash called her team name.
"Of course I know," Ash said, turning to look at Domino. "I heard you're very skilled in bed." Ash smiled slightly. "Want to give it a try?" Domino wasn't angry at Ash's blatant question; instead, she tempted him.
"Trying is definitely an option, but only after I've killed your boss. Then I'll make sure you scream with pleasure." Ash turned his head back. His target was their leader, Giovanni. If he got Giovanni, wouldn't all the women under him be his for the taking?
"I'd really like to look forward to that." Domino smiled, looking at Ash's back. "But I forgot to tell you, our elevator is broken, so you'll have to take the stairs on the right. This building has a hundred floors, and our boss, Giovanni, is waiting for you on the hundredth floor. Of course, that's assuming you can make it to the hundredth floor alive."
Hearing Domino's words, Ash scanned the lobby. He saw a staircase on the right and an elevator on the left. He had originally planned to take the elevator, but hearing Domino's words, it seemed Giovanni already knew he was back, and this hundredth floor was a test for him. But what exactly was he testing him for? Ash didn't know, and he didn't want to know; he only wanted all the women under Giovanni's command to be his.
"That's quite interesting. Since the master has said so, I, as his guest, will listen to him this once."
Since it's about testing his abilities, he wouldn't object; consider it a warm-up.
Ash obediently walked up the stairs. Domino watched Ash's figure disappear completely, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Now that he's gone, I should prepare myself. I hope I can see you alive when you reach me."
Domino headed straight for the elevator. The elevator wasn't broken; both Ash and Domino knew this. Why Boss Giovanni did this, even Domino didn't know; she was simply following his orders.
The stairs weren't very long, and Ash quickly saw a door. Standing in the doorway, seeing no further stairs, Ash nonchalantly reached out and placed his hand on the handle, pressed it, and opened it, a flash of white light.
"Is this the kid?"
"Damn it, this little brat called all of us elites? Watch me beat him so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him!"
"Yeah, let's teach him a lesson. Just him alone, and the boss went to such lengths? Unforgivable!"... Ash had just pushed open the door when he saw more than a dozen Team Rocket members surrounding him, each holding a Poké Ball.
"Looks like this hundredth floor is going to be a troublesome journey." Ash sighed, looking at the large Team Rocket group, and also held out a Poké Ball.
"Venusaur, you play with them." Ash said.
"Raticate, use Hyper Fang!"
"Koffing, use Haze!"
"Geodude, use Rollout!"
"Balbusor, use Razor Leaf..."
"Ugh... Damn it..."
These guys who called themselves Team Rocket elites couldn't even withstand one of Ash's Venusaur's attacks; they were all mowed down like grass by Venusaur.
"What a boring team." Ash yawned, ignoring them and heading straight for the next staircase. The Team Rocket members didn't stop him, having witnessed the power of Ash's.
Throughout the battles, none of these elites could match Ash; it was a one-sided massacre. Reaching the tenth floor, unlike the previous floors where they blocked the door and fought Ash, Ash initially mistook it for a bar. Dazzling red lights and loud DJ music filled the air. Ash clearly saw a swaying figure dancing on the dance floor; the spacious room was empty except for him.
Clearly, the figure hadn't seen Ash's arrival, dancing alone on the dance floor. Ash, feeling utterly ignored, went to the speakers, found the power source, and unplugged… "Who's there?" A pretty female voice called out. Ash turned off the red lights, and the bar was bathed in normal light. Only then could Ash finally see the face of the person on the dance floor.
A girl with healthy, tanned skin stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Ash with obvious displeasure at his sudden interruption. Ash noticed her too: short, neat brown hair, a small face, and arched eyebrows that gave her a somewhat imposing air. She wore a white short-sleeved shirt that revealed her navel, and her breasts were fuller than her age. She wore light blue denim shorts that showed off her shapely legs, and sandals typical of summer beachwear. She was the one who had been dancing around on stage all by herself.
"Who are you?" the girl asked, raising an eyebrow at Ash, clearly annoyed that he had interrupted her dance.
"Ash, here to fight your boss's people." Ash replied casually.
"Oh… so you're the one who got our boss to invite all of us captains here? Quite bold, huh?" The girl shook her head, looking nonchalant.
"And who are you?" Ash asked.
"Huh? Me? Annie."
Annie picked at her ear with her finger.
"Eighth Team Captain Annie."
"Ah... it seems you did your research on us."
Annie looked intrigued upon hearing Ash's words.
"Then you should know the consequences of interrupting my dance. If you admit defeat now, I might spare you."
Annie made a haughty expression.
"Hehe... that's a bit much." Ash smiled. Annie was the captain of Team Rocket's eighth team. Originally a delinquent, she was very skilled at training Pokémon and had a straightforward personality. After joining Team Rocket, she made many contributions and her Pokémon were also very strong. She was quickly promoted to captain by Giovanni. If anyone interrupted her enthusiasm, they would get a good beating from her. However, Ash wasn't afraid of her because his Pokémon were stronger than hers.
"Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences." Annie pulled a Poké Ball from her pants.
"Let's give it a try then." Ash, still smiling, pulled out a Poké Ball.
"Don't blame me for not warning you, go, Primeape."
"Well, I should thank you for the reminder, go, Kangaskhan."
As the team leader, Annie was indeed much stronger than the other elites, but she was still no match for Ash. Annie's Primeape could only withstand more than ten moves from Ash's Kangaskhan before collapsing to the ground.
"No way... my Primeape actually lost!"
Annie was a little not willing to accept, but Primeape was one of the Pokémon she had trained most diligently, and its strength was among the top. She never expected it to be defeated by Ash's Kangaskhan after only a dozen moves.
"Looks like I shouldn't underestimate you."
Annie reached out and pulled out another Poké Ball.
"Go! Abomasnow!" Annie threw out a Pokémon that looked a lot like a Yeti. As soon as the Pokémon appeared, Ash clearly felt the temperature in the room drop slightly.
"Looks like it's not from this region." Ash deduced this just by looking at Abomasnow. Since there are no snow mountains in this region and only a couple of Ice-type Pokémon, Abomasnow definitely wasn't from Kanto.
"This Abomasnow is my ace. If you can defeat it, then you win." Annie crossed her arms, smiling confidently, her chest jiggling slightly. Seeing Annie's chest jiggle so alluringly, Ash had a slight urge to pin her down.
"That certainly makes for a worthwhile challenge." Ash smiled and commanded Kangaskhan to attack.
Annie's Abomasnow was indeed incredibly strong, on a completely different level from Primeape. Ash had to resort to a mutually destructive tactic to ensure that Kangaskhan and Abomasnow were both defeated.
"No... no way..." Annie was utterly speechless. Two of her most carefully nurtured Pokémon had only managed to defeat one of the opponent's Pokémon, especially one of her ace Pokémon. This left Annie with a profound sense of powerlessness, a powerlessness she hadn't even felt in front of Giovanni.
"Then consider this a win," Ash said, looking at Annie's bitter expression.
"Damn it... even if you win this time, I'll definitely get my revenge next time!" Annie stomped her feet twice, reluctantly admitting defeat.
"Well, in that case..." Ash walked to Annie's side.
"What are you doing?" Annie asked, seeing Ash approach, the two of them less than half a head apart.
"Mmm!" Ash quickly lowered his head and kissed Annie's lips. Annie was shocked, her entire face turning red.
Ash kissed her for a few seconds before releasing her, leaving a flushed Annie and walking towards the next staircase.
"Consider this my reward for winning," Ash said as he walked away.
Annie was completely stunned. By the time she reacted, Ash was long gone.
"Damn it! How dare he kiss me! Next time I see him, I'll tear him to pieces!" Annie shouted angrily a few times on the stage, but then turned around and blushed, touching her lips.
Although she used to be a delinquent... that kiss just now... was her first time.
