Chapter 229 What the Future Will Look Like

"You guys are acting so strangely, do you all know me from the future?"

The three of them nodded in unison.

"We not only know each other, but we're very familiar with each other, even a little too familiar."

"Because my hometown is also Zhenxin Town, I've known you since I was born."

"Ash, are you from Pallet Town too?" Yuki was surprised to meet a fellow townsman here.

"What will I be like in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Ash was wide awake and immediately began counting Professor Oak's shortcomings on his fingers.

"Your future self will be forgetful and a bit unreliable at times."

"He loves telling lame jokes and gets attacked by Pokémon every day."

"He always likes to cook instant noodles with the wrong things." The lab equipment has practically become Professor Oak's personal instant noodle pot.

"And she also likes to lecture others." At this point, Rika chimed in.

"Ah, what kind of person will I be in the future?"

Seeing this, Ash decided to continue speaking and reveal even more of Professor Oak's personal secrets.

But Xuecheng suddenly shook his head.

"No, Satoshi, let's not talk about it. What if I know too much about the future and change the past?"

Then there are all sorts of incomprehensible things like the time paradox, the butterfly effect, the determinism principle, and how instant noodles are really delicious.

As a scientist from the future, his thoughts are indeed complex; even Xiao Zhi hadn't considered this aspect.

"Yes, but what is certain is that you will be a highly respected and esteemed elder in the future."

After all, even after racking his brains, Xiao Zhi could only think of these insignificant shortcomings.

Upon hearing this, Xuecheng looked up at the star-studded sky.

"What will Pallet Town and the Kanto region look like in the future, Ash?"

"You don't need to be very specific, just tell me the general idea."

"Pallet Town, the place where I grew up, is a peaceful and beautiful town where everyone is kind."

Ash's childhood in Pallet Town was very happy, even happier than when he was an orphan in China in his previous life.

They have no worries about food and clothing, live in harmony with their neighbors, and even have Pokémon.

"The Kanto region is doing very well now; in the words of an old man, it's thriving."

"Although there were some evil organizations there before, they have all been dealt with and it is now a peaceful and prosperous place."

Moreover, thanks to the efforts of Professor Oak and the Chairman, a new decree has been issued.

The Kanto Alliance decided to redirect all the funds previously used to combat the Rockets to improving people's livelihoods.

Starting next year, adult children in the Kanto region will finally be able to receive the starter Pokémon and Pokédex for free.

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Seeing Xiaozhi's expression, Xuecheng smiled knowingly.

That night, the gloom in his heart was swept away.

I finished drawing Pikachu and Celebi in a very cheerful mood and slept soundly.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the maple forest, at Team Rocket's camp.

"What did you say? One of our squads not only failed to capture the target, but was also completely wiped out?"

"Yes, Lord Bishas."

"It has been confirmed that they were not lying. All twenty-two members were defeated, and the mechanical spiders were all reduced to scrap metal."

The defeat was quite humiliating.

Amado and Kosaburo, who were in charge of the report, could only quickly lower their heads to prevent Bishas from taking his anger out on them.

"Those idiots, do they even know who did it?"

"We don't know yet."

He punched the wooden table in front of him, splitting it in two, which startled Yamato and Kosaburo so much that they quickly lowered their heads even further.

He immediately got up and paced back and forth, worried that the operation had been exposed and attracted the attention of the City Alliance inspectors.

"Notify the remaining members still in the operation: speed up the search and be even more thorough!"

"And send them new weapons."

After a moment of silence, Bishas came to stand in front of Amado and the others again.

"At the same time, go and turn on that teleportation device for me."

Upon hearing Bishas's order, Amado and Kosaburo were initially startled, but immediately lowered their heads when they met his terrifying gaze.

"Yes, we'll get ready right away."

"No matter the cost, I must obtain the shrine!"

The next morning after teleporting, Ash woke up the others and prepared to return to Kino Village.

Since Celebi doesn't know why it can no longer travel through time, Ash decides to ask Grandma Miku for more information about the legends.

Perhaps they can find useful clues from it.

But shortly after the group left, Ash suddenly led everyone to hide in the bushes nearby.

He sensed a Team Rocket mechanical spider stumbling and sprinting toward their location from not far away.

"They're like a persistent ghost, finding us so quickly."

Ash was about to command Pikachu to attack, but something felt off.

"Why does this mechanical spider move like it's drunk?"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the people in the driver's seat were none other than Kojiro and his crew.

"Help! Help!"

"Meow, someone help me figure out how to stop this machine!" Meow frantically maneuvered the steering wheel, narrowly avoiding one tree after another.

"Kojiro, what exactly did you do?" Musashi grabbed the blue-haired youth next to him and questioned him.

"I just tapped the engine with a wrench."

"And are you going to blame me for everything? We fixed the machine together!"

After a moment of silence, they all sighed.

The cockpit of the robotic spider was open-air. The trio mustered their courage and came to the edge of the cockpit, wanting to jump off but not daring to.

Yesterday afternoon, the robotic spider they secretly drove out of the camp suddenly stopped moving for some reason.

The trio immediately put their machine mastery to good use, fixing it themselves and even enhancing it along the way.

Unexpectedly, this enhancement went too far.

The machine was moving, but at an astonishing speed and it simply couldn't stop.

They had been running all night.

"Someone, please save us!"

At that moment, a green light enveloped their bodies, and the trio were lifted off the mechanical spider by telekinesis.

Then another 100,000 volts came from afar, and the machine spider immediately collapsed, billowing black smoke.

To their utter bewilderment, Ash led everyone to them.

"It's so good to have met you, boss." As soon as Kojiro and the others saw Satoshi, they immediately cried and hugged his legs.

I've never heard the title "boss" sound so genuine before.

"I'm so tired of hearing that. Can't you three be a little more reliable?" Xiao Zhi said helplessly.

"Are these two, plus Meowth, part of Team Rocket?"

Xuecheng immediately became alert upon seeing their uniforms.

Xiao Zhi quickly stopped him and waved his hand, "Don't worry, those three are on our side."

"They could be considered my spies within Team Rocket; they were the ones who sent me the information about Team Rocket's operation this time."
