Chapter 49 Black Sea Horse
Thinking of this, Gary slipped away.
"Ash, let's save this battle for the Indigo Plateau Conference! I have something to do, so I'm leaving first!"
"That hateful Gary!"
Ash gritted his teeth, watching the figure run off. If he had known this would happen, he would have just sent out Pikachu to take down Gary's six Pokémon in an instant.
It's all the Team Rocket Trio's fault for messing things up!
Team Rockets?
Hehehe!
Since the experience package was gone, Ash's unfriendly gaze fell upon Team Rockets.
Feeling the chilling gaze emanating from Ash, the Team Rocket Trio instantly had a bad feeling.
"A…Ash, what do you want to do?"
"I'm warning you, even though we're bad guys, we have human rights! You can't abuse us!"
"Exactly, Meow!"
The Team Rocket Trio looked at Ash in horror.
"Don't worry, I won't abuse you. You still haven't fulfilled what you promised me on the St. Anne's last time, and you didn't report to me in time when you saw me. Plus, you just ruined my good deed. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?" Ash asked with an unfriendly gaze.
At this moment, from Team Rockets' perspective, Ash was a complete villain.
"W-what do you want to do? We don't have any money on us." James said with a bitter expression.
After they were sent flying by Gyarados's Dragon Rage, they accidentally crashed into the amusement park facilities opened by their own organization, and finally made a collect call to their boss, Giovanni. Not only were their salaries for the next three months withheld, but they were also blacklisted by Boss Giovanni.
If it weren't for this string of bad luck, they wouldn't have taken a part-time job from an old woman to cause destruction on the beach.
"Money? Those are just mundane things. Next, I'll give you some work to do. Once you're done, you'll be free. If you do well, I might even give you some wages." Ash said.
His travels during this period made Ash realize that the money he had accumulated from his previous "research" might not be enough to support his travels through several regions, so he planned to set up a company or something to earn some stable small money.
The products he wanted to operate were naturally the items he had negotiated with the Team Rocket Trio to build. Those two blueprints were technological creations from other worlds: one was the Universal Capsule from the Dragon Ball world next door, and the other was a Gravity Bracelet from an unknown world. With the capabilities of the Team Rocket Trio, they should be able to build them according to the blueprints.
"Really?" The Team Rocket Trio's dim eyes lit up again.
Part-time jobs and the like were what they were super good at.
"I never lie."
"Ash, come help! This Horsea is injured!"
Just then, Misty's call came.
Ash looked up and saw Misty running back from the sea, holding an injured little Horsea.
Pokémon: Horsea
Gender: Female
Level: Normal Low-Grade
Ability: Swift Swim
Aptitude: Gym
Skills: Glare, Water Gun, Smokescreen, Ice Beam (hereditary)...
"This Horsea is quite badly injured. I'll give it some simple treatment first. Misty, please go get the Water-type Pokémon-specific Potion from my backpack."
Ash circulated the Viridian Power within his body to give Horsea simple treatment. Primary Viridian Power was very effective for treating surface injuries, but it was a bit weak for internal injuries. However, based on the situation during this period, Ash found that this primary Viridian Power was about to level up.
The Water-type Pokémon-specific Potion was new merchandise refreshed in the system's store after he caught Zapdos. There were specific Potions for all eighteen types, and their efficacy was better than the general ones, but they were a bit expensive, costing fifty thousand League currency per dose.
A few minutes later, Horsea's injuries were seventy to eighty percent better.
"Hechihechi~"
Horsea cried out a few times, then sprayed ink to draw the patterns of Tentacool and Tentacruel.
Ash naturally knew what was going to happen next. He had already prepared the Heavy Ball; he had reserved that mutated super-large Tentacruel.
He stroked Horsea's head and said, "Little one, I know what you want to say. Thank you for still being willing to trust humans."
"Ash, you know what Horsea wants to express, don't you?" Misty asked curiously.
"Yes, the habitats of Tentacool and Tentacruel have been occupied by humans. Now, Tentacool and Tentacruel are planning to retaliate against humans." Ash explained.
"Pokémon retaliating against humans, that's indeed very bad news!" At this moment, a familiar voice came.
"Professor Oak? Mom?"
Ash turned his head and stared, losing his voice.
Delia happily hugged Ash, then her expression turned a bit displeased: "Ash, didn't you say we'd meet in Lampur City? You came but didn't come to find us. If Gary hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known you were here."
"Mom, I just arrived not long ago…" Ash originally wanted to explain that he had encountered a shipwreck two days ago, but to avoid worrying his mother, he changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, Mom, this is my travel companion, Misty. She's from the Cerulean Gym in Cerulean City. That squinty-eyed one over there is Brock. He's the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym…"
Delia's gaze lingered on Misty for a few seconds, then swept over Brock: "Oh, hello. Thank you for your trouble along the way, and for taking care of Ash for so long!"
"You're too kind, Auntie. We should be the ones saying thank you. Ash has been taking care of us all this way." Misty waved her hands repeatedly.
"That's right, we should be the ones saying thank you all this way." Brock also spoke up.
"Ash, how do you plan to resolve this matter that Horsea mentioned?" Professor Oak asked with a slight frown.
Conflicts between Pokémon populations and humans are a big deal no matter the region.
"Professor, we still need to confirm whether humans first encroached upon the Tentacool's habitat. If so, then we humans are at fault first, and we should concede where necessary. Otherwise, if a war truly breaks out, there will not only be casualties, but it could also trigger another war between humans and Pokémon."
"Hmm… Ash, how about this? I'll contact the League and have them investigate. You take Horsea and negotiate with the Tentacool. We'll determine the solution based on the specific situation." Professor Oak suggested.
Boom~
"Help!"
Suddenly, a cry for help came from the sea. Everyone turned to look and saw a relatively large cruise ship broken into two by an unknown creature.
"Squirtle, go save them!"
"Milotic, Staryu, Gem…"
Misty also hastily released her Pokémon to rescue the people who fell into the water.
"Professor, it's too late. The Tentacool are already preparing to act."
Ash frowned slightly. His Aura sensed countless Tentacool beneath the nearby sea surface.
