Chapter 81 Ash's Dad and Mr. Mime
After knocking away Yamato and Kosaburo, they also dropped equipment like elite monsters.
The green badges fell from their bodies, and guided by the aura, they slowly floated down from the air to Ash's palm.
Ash readily accepted this; who wouldn't want a free boost?
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the main quest: Green Badge!: Defeat the Viridian City Gym Leader]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +500; Stamina +2; Free Attribute Points +3]
[Ground-type moves are increased by 5% when you have a green badge]
"That counts too, a temporary gym leader is still a gym leader." Ash put away the green badge and then contacted Officer Jenny to come to Viridian Gym to handle the aftermath.
Meanwhile, Shigeru continued driving his red convertible back to Professor Oak's lab.
When he left, he wasn't laughing and joking like before; his face was still heavy, probably because he was traumatized by Mewtwo.
However, given his personality, he'll probably revert to his arrogant self in a couple of days.
Ash and Misty embarked on their journey home once again.
We finally arrived at a place not far from Pallet Town.
Xiao Zhi took out all the gifts he bought for his mother from his spatial storage and carried them on his back in large and small bags.
"Xiaoxia, look at this familiar road, we'll be home soon."
"Walk a little slower. You said I was too excited when we were at Hualan, but I was just as excited."
Although I had called home in advance, it was still hard not to be excited to come back after being away for more than a year.
No one can stop Ash from going home now, no one can.
If anyone dares to cause trouble for Ash on his way home, he will definitely beat them to a pulp!
For example, there's that unlucky clown Pokémon that likes to place its unseen walls in the middle of the road.
Ash was walking happily down the road when he was suddenly bumped into its transparent wall.
This Mr. Mime even arrogantly jumped in front of Ash to mock him.
This immediately angered Ash, who thought he could rest easy because of the transparent walls around him.
But when it saw Ash's figure grow to two meters tall and smash the special wall with 20 consecutive punches, its expression was priceless.
"Playing pranks isn't a good habit, especially against people you shouldn't mess with. Don't you think so, Mr. Mime?"
"Wow, wow!"
The Mr. Mime, covered in tangle of bags, nodded frantically behind Ash, carrying a huge bag that was taller than itself.
If Ash hadn't seen in the Pokédex that it was good at housework, he could have beaten it for another three hours.
Capturing the Mr. Mime is also a gift for my mother, so that she can reduce the burden of housework in the future.
"Mom, I'm home!"
Hanako had been waiting for Ash by the door for a long time. She smiled and took the bundle from Ash's hand, then opened it to take a look.
"These are all expensive things, Ash, where did you get the money to buy them?"
At this moment, Xiaoxia walked out from behind Xiaozhi and greeted Hanako's mother warmly.
Hanako glanced at Misty and then at Satoshi, a troubled expression on her face.
"Xiao Zhi, Mommy will never agree to you marrying into the family."
"No, I bought it with my own money!"
After some effort, Hanako was convinced that Satoshi didn't have any intention of living off a woman, and only then did she happily welcome everyone into her home.
Xiao Zhi, who had just returned home, received bad news from his mother.
"Your dad was supposed to come back too, but for some reason a group of people calling themselves Team Rocket thought he was some guy named Aaron."
"For no apparent reason, your boss said he wanted to talk to you, and then your father was taken away by the Alliance prosecutor."
Hanako still looked a little unhappy when she talked about it.
"They're not coming back for the time being. Who on earth is this guy named Aaron?!"
Xiaozhi's father works on a government project in another city year-round. He is an ordinary researcher and rarely comes home because of his work.
Xiao Zhi finally managed to get a leave of absence to come back and reunite with his family, but this unexpected incident happened.
"Is Dad alright?" Xiao Zhi also broke out in a cold sweat.
This Aaron is himself, so why would the Rockets target his father?
Unexpectedly, this incident led to his arrest by the Alliance Central Committee.
"It should be fine now that it's been determined to be a misunderstanding. The prosecutor just hopes to use this opportunity to uncover the true identity of the Rockets' leader."
"So you sent your dad to help them. Sigh, he was fooled by some so-called cause of justice and the future of the alliance."
"What a useless man!"
It seems Hanako still harbors resentment towards Ash's father, so Ash quickly changed the subject by taking out Mr. Mime's Poké Ball.
"Mom, look, this is a Mr. Mime that can help you with housework in the future!"
Hanako was delighted to release this new family member.
"Can you help with the housework? I would appreciate your guidance, Mr. Mime."
The Mr. Mime, touched warmly by Hanako, was moved to tears.
It had already given up hope for the future after being captured by the devil Ash, but it never expected to meet a kind owner.
"Hmm, although I feel a little uncomfortable, it seems that Mom has successfully subdued Mr. Mime."
That evening, Satoshi contacted Kojiro and the others to ask about his father.
But to everyone's surprise, Kojiro and the others started taking credit before Ash could even ask.
"Meow, Ash, something big happened at Team Rocket's headquarters recently. The headquarters was blown up."
"Furthermore, Giovanni has already noticed Aaron. The Rockets are in complete chaos right now, and the secretary has actually assigned us to contact Aaron."
Musashi pressed Meow Meow down and continued,
"So we took advantage of the chaos at headquarters to change all the files and information about the boss."
"They even picked someone from the alliance who looks a lot like the boss after he transforms into Aaron to replace you."
"You did this?"
"Yes, we did it!"
The trio thought they had done something great and were waiting for Ash to praise them, completely unaware that Ash's face had darkened.
"You guys are really my good subordinates!" It seems that Ash has to reward them handsomely this time.
The next day, Ash and Misty went to Professor Oak's lab to visit the Pokémon they were fostering there.
Unexpectedly, upon entering Oak's lab, I found Gary sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Professor Oak came out with a smile, holding a cup of hot tea, to greet Ash and his friends.
"Haha, it's really rare that our Pallet Town has produced two people who can enter the League Tournament."
"Only two people?" Xiaoxia asked in surprise.
"Yes, although there were four people who set off together, only the two of them were able to successfully collect all eight badges."
"The others made good progress at the beginning, but soon they ran into tough battles in the later dojos."
When Oak talked about it, he still sighed a little, saying that the path of a trainer is not easy.
"The League Tournament will be held in Indigo Plateau in two months. You two rising stars must prepare well."
Ash knew what the professor was talking about, and after exchanging a few more pleasantries, he went to visit his Pokémon.
Most of Ash's Pokémon are with Professor Oak; they all rushed over as soon as they saw Ash arrive.
"Everyone looks very energetic!"
"How could I not be energetic? Your 20 Grimer and 30 Tauros have turned my backyard upside down!"
"Thank you so much, Professor Oak." Ash's gratitude was genuine, since the professor hadn't charged him a single penny.
Ash stroked Lucario's head and then gave Clefairy a few more Love Punches, looking at his Pokémon with great pride.
"Time for some serious training, the League Tournament is coming up!"
