Chapter 23 - Chapter 23 One hundred thousand volts, thunder piercing the sky! The almighty power of waveguide.

As Musashi and the others were sent flying, Koffing, which had been continuously emitting poisonous gas, was forced to stop, and the increasing amount of poisonous gas on the field also ceased to grow.

"Damn it, what's going on with that kid? Why is he so strange!"

"That Pikachu is also very unusual!"

"That's right, Meowth!"

Ash originally wanted to press his advantage, but Meowth, one of Team Rockets' trio, suddenly spoke, making Ash pause. Then he suddenly reacted, pointing his finger at the Pokémon: "A...a Pokémon that can speak human language?!"

In the previous dialogue, Meowth had actually spoken, but Ash possessed Bo-do Power, and Pokémon's language would be passively translated into human language in Ash's mind.

So he didn't notice that when Meowth was speaking its lines, it was speaking genuine human language, thinking it was the result of his automatic translation.

But now Ash heard it clearly: that Meowth was speaking human language!

"Really, it's a Pokémon that can speak human language... No, this isn't the time to focus on that, Ash, quickly press your advantage and defeat them!" Xiao Xia was also astonished by the fact that Meowth could speak, but she immediately realized that this was not what they should be focusing on right now.

Taking advantage of their current upper hand, they needed to quickly and thoroughly defeat these three people... or rather, two people and one Meowth!

"I understand, Pikachu... Thunderbolt!"

"Pika—chu!!" Pikachu's body emitted a golden electric glow even more dazzling than before. The brilliant electric light pierced through the air, traveled through space, and shot towards Team Rockets' trio.

Musashi and Kojiro still wanted to command Koffing and Ekans to counterattack, but Pikachu's attack was too fast, even faster than the previous Thunder Shock!

Moreover, they were completely tangled up at this moment and couldn't counterattack at all.

And so...

"Ah ah ah ah! So numb! So numb! *3"

"Boom!"

Thunderbolt struck Team Rockets' trio, and the dazzling golden light illuminated the entire Elf Center, producing a huge explosion a few seconds later!

Golden lightning shot straight into the sky, shattering the Elf Center's ceiling. Although the poisonous mist had mostly dissipated by then, everyone present had inhaled a considerable amount of it, causing some numbness and dizziness in their bodies.

Falling debris from the ceiling crashed down towards some people nearby. They wanted to run, but their bodies found it difficult to move.

Just as they closed their eyes in resignation, they found that they seemed to be fine. When they opened their eyes, the falling debris that had been heading towards them was scattered in front of them.

"Wha...what's going on?"

"I don't know, maybe it was blown away by the wind."

"You scared me to death, I thought I was going to be hospitalized!"

"If you're hospitalized, you can just do the admission procedures right here~"

"Stop messing around, this is an Elf Center, it's for Pokémon to be hospitalized, not for people!"

"Hahaha~~"

"..."

A few unfortunate souls who were almost hit by the debris sat on the ground, teasing each other and relaxing their previously tense moods.

In the distance, Xiao Xia looked at Ash with a surprised expression, her pretty face full of shock, as if saying—you can do that?

That's right, the debris that had just fallen towards those unfortunate people didn't drop because of some wind; it was directly blocked by Ash using Bo-do Power.

Xiao Xia, who had seen Ash battle Spearow, knew that Ash had a barrier move that could defend against attacks, but she didn't expect that Ash could even create a barrier to protect a group of people.

This incident once again refreshed Xiao Xia's understanding of Bo-do Power. This ability truly is not inferior to Psychic, and might even surpass Psychic.

As things settled, the deep blue light in Ash's eyes slowly faded, and the previously energetic Pikachu immediately slumped to the ground the next second.

Ash walked forward with a tired expression and picked up Pikachu: "You worked hard, Pikachu, you did very well!"

"Pika Pika~~" Pikachu weakly extended one paw and made a 'V' sign.

...

The incident of the Elf Center being attacked had come to an end. The good news was that, apart from releasing poisonous mist, the group of people who arrived had not caused any substantial damage to the Elf Center; at most, only a hole was opened in one part of the ceiling.

People who had inhaled the poisonous mist were all treated at the Elf Center, and they also expressed their gratitude to Ash. When everyone was affected by the poisonous mist, only Ash stepped forward.

Although they didn't know how Ash managed not to be affected by the poisonous mist, this didn't change the fact that Ash saved them. Many people expressed their thanks verbally, while also making some tangible gestures.

"...No, it's not necessary. Protecting the Elf Center is every Trainer's duty."

"That may be true, but no matter what, you saved me. Please accept this small token of appreciation."

Ash really couldn't refuse the middle-aged man in front of him and finally accepted the one thousand yuan he offered.

For a Pokémon Trainer, one thousand yuan actually can't buy much. A regular Poké Ball costs two hundred yuan, and more advanced Poké Balls can cost five hundred or even a thousand.

But for a family's daily grocery expenses, one thousand yuan is enough for more than a week's worth of food. No wonder raising Pokémon is considered a money pit!

This middle-aged man who gave Ash money to thank him wasn't the first person. Ash, sitting in the Elf Center waiting for Pikachu to recover, had already received no less than ten thousand yuan. Not only did he completely replenish the money he spent shopping today, but he even had some left over.

"How nice, the great hero who saved the Elf Center~~" Xiao Xia rested her head on her hand, teasing him with a playful look in her eyes.

"Hehe, it's not that amazing~~" Ash scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed but also a little self-satisfied.

After all, he was a fifteen-year-old boy. After making such a grand display and being thanked by so many people, it would be strange if he wasn't a little pleased with himself.

"Speaking of which, don't you feel dizzy or anything from inhaling the poisonous mist?"

"Emmm, at first, I didn't really feel anything, but after inhaling too much, it did make me a little uncomfortable. But as long as I use Bo-do Power to circulate it inside my body, I can expel the poisonous mist."

"Is Bo-do Power that convenient? That's too useful." Xiao Xia exclaimed in disbelief.

That ability is read as Bo-do Power, but written as All-Purpose Power, right?

Being able to understand what Pokémon say, being able to defend, being able to attack, and now being able to dispel toxins from the body—it's truly a bit too outrageous.

"Haha, it's alright, actually, Bo-do Power's uses aren't just limited to that!"

"There are other uses???"

"That's right, and that is... a secret~~ Hehe, I won't tell you yet. I'll tell you when you battle me."

"What? Tell me now!"

"No, this is to be saved as a secret weapon for when we battle."

"Tch, stingy..."
