Chapter 152: Asahi: Am I Really That Terrifying?
"We’re blocked!"
"Arbok, Acid Spray!"
"Shadow Ball! …Damn it, even Ghost-type moves don’t work! What kind of Pokémon is using Light Screen?!"
The Rocket Team members were helpless against the invisible wall blocking their escape.
Meanwhile, the officer stared at Asahi’s gentle smile, recalling the intelligence reports that described his ruthless methods against enemies. A...

Chapter 151: Asahi: I’m Not, I Didn’t!
The sudden turn of events drew the attention of everyone present.
The referee stood there, dumbfounded, unsure of what was happening.
Green subtly gripped her Poké Ball and stepped closer to Asahi.
Meanwhile, Asahi turned his gaze toward Blaine, wearing an amused expression.
Tap, tap, tap...
A series of footsteps echoed through the gym as a group of Team Rocket grunts, eac...

Chapter 150: The Cunning Gyarados and Its Repeated Tricks
"Rapidash!"
Blaine’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Had he seen that correctly?
Based on his earlier observations, Gyarados’s Hydro Pump didn’t seem that powerful.
Even in the worst-case scenario, Rapidash shouldn’t have been defeated this badly.
His gaze shifted back to Gyarados.
At that moment, the cunning glint in Gyarados’s eyes returne...

Chapter 149: Blaine, You’re Not Involved with Team Rocket… Right?
Blaine twitched when he saw Asahi’s notepad.
Even though he had been out of touch with the outside world, he had heard about what happened to Cerulean Gym.
Clearly, he had just been recorded.
Seeing Blaine’s expression, Asahi smirked.
"Don’t worry, Blaine. Cerulean Gym was restructured because its Gym Leader was too weak."

Chapter 148: Hot Springs and Blaine
Mew was delighted with its mask.
However, to the mask vendor, the scene was downright terrifying.
A Dragonite mask floating in mid-air, alongside a half-eaten grilled mochi—how could that not be eerie?
For a moment, the vendor’s mind raced with thoughts of Cinnabar Island’s many ghost stories.
Noticing the vendor’s frightened expression, Asahi quickly patted Mew.
"Mew?"

Chapter 147: How Can You Accuse Me Without Evidence?
Asahi had no idea that a simple fan club subscription had caused such a massive uproar.
He was currently reading a message from Gary.
Gary: "Obviously, I got my badge by defeating Sabrina with my overwhelming skills! No question about it!"
Asahi chuckled at Gary’s boastful tone.
The fact that Gary had earned the badge meant that Sabrina was already preparing to head to Twin ...

Just as Asahi sent Gary a message asking how he passed the gym challenge, he heard a familiar phrase.
Looking down at Eevee, he raised an eyebrow.
“Eevee, watching livestreams again?”
“Eevee~”
Eevee waved its tiny paws and gave Asahi a pleading look.
“Hm?” Asahi paused. “You’re saying you want me to buy you a Tree Curious fan membership?”
He hadn’t expected Eeve...

As Green shot him a weird look, Asahi’s mouth twitched.

He really felt wronged here.

Mew panicked and quickly flew over.
It placed its tiny paws on Green’s forehead, glowing with a soft pink light.
A warm sensation washed over Green, dissolving th...

"Asahi, I just saw your message. You suspect Koga?" Lance asked.
In Lance’s mind, Koga had always been a quiet yet reliable Gym Leader. Hearing Asahi’s suspicion made him skeptical.
If even Koga had problems, then who in the League could still be trusted?
"That's right. I have solid evidence," Asahi replied.
Evidence that Koga himself had provided.
Lance fell silent. He didn’t believ...

Hearing Asahi’s words, Koga’s heart sank.
Had his identity been discovered?
But he hadn’t left any traces!
Ever since Lt. Surge had been captured, he had barely left the gym.
His mind raced, but outwardly, he simply frowned and said, “Asahi, there’s a limit to your jokes.”

Hearing this, Green immediately looked around warily.

Feeling Green’s strange gaze on him, Asahi looked innocent.

He mentally counted the things he had done involving Slowpoke.
Using them as bait to catch poachers… That was for work.
Occasionally collecting their naturally shed tails and grilling them… That was just recycling.
The worst thing he had done was having Gardevoir train t...

By the time Asahi and Green left Rainbow Gym, it was already evening.
Their conversation with Erika had been productive.
For Erika, the return of Team Rocket to Celadon was a major concern. Previously, she had been hesitant to report it due to security risks. But now, with Asahi involved, she had no such worries.
For Asahi, he had successfully won Erika over as an ally against Team Rocket.

After multiple consecutive attacks, Gengar was visibly exhausted.
Despite looking round and plump, it was all deceptive—Gengar had never been known for its stamina.

In the end, he chose the one item he could actually use right now.

The atmosphere on the second floor was distinctly different from the first.
The normal lights had already gone out, leaving only the emergency lights providing a faint glow, which significantly limited visibility.
In the dim lighting, they could only see a radius of about four to five meters around them. Beyond that, everything was shrouded in darkness, with only rows of gravestones barely visible in the distance.

Agatha was slightly surprised by Asahi’s willingness to act.
No wonder both Lance and Bruno spoke so highly of him. This sense of responsibility, so naturally ingrained, already set him apart from 99% of Kanto’s new-generation trainers.
But…
