Bounty Rewards And Generous System Rewards

"From now on, you guys will stay in prison, reflect on yourselves, and be a new person."

After her late arrival, Officer Jenny handcuffed the trio with the handcuffes. Following this, she directed her attention towards Ash.

"Trainer Ash, we express our gratitude for your efforts in battling crime. The police department has identified these three individuals from Team Rocket as criminals on their most-wanted list. Upon verification, the bonus will be credited to your account promptly by authorities."

"Really? I appreciate it, Officer Jenny."

Ash's eyes brightened with surprise as he received an unexpected benefit that caught him off guard.

As he gazed at the trio from Team Rocket in the police car, his demeanor grew increasingly amicable.

I wonder if there will be any reward for taking them to the police station in the future?

But it should not be possible.

After all, these three guys were at their peak when they debuted, and they haven't done anything bad since then.

Even The Rockets are not content with providing them support, leaving them as individuals without staff status who must take care of themselves.

Otherwise, Ash really wants to treat them as mobile cash machines and send them to the police station whenever he runs out of money.

"How dare you deceive us, who are simple and kind-hearted, you damn little devil, we won't forgive you."

"Just you wait, we'll definitely get our revenge when we come out and take all of your Pokémon."

The trio of Team Rocket, who had woken up, glared at Ash through the police car window and hurled mean-spirited insults.

"Shut up! If you fall into my hands, you will never come out again."

Officer Jenny appeared to be extremely amiable and cheerful while standing in front of Ash, but her demeanor became considerably more unsympathetic and severe when confronting Team Rocket, who were considered "evil incarnate."

Seeing that the three people dared to threaten the brave citizens in front of her, she slapped the three and beat them down, and then started the police car and drove them to the police station.

Although Officer Jenny is proficient, it's impracticable to confine the trio constantly.

Soon, Team Rocket will bail them out.

It is likely that Team Rocket has influential figures in the Alliance to sustain their operations in Kanto for such a long period of time without suffering a catastrophic attack.

"You have truly saved the day, Ash. Without your help, we would have incurred significant losses at the Pokémon Center. As our way of showing gratitude for your assistance this time around, consider yourself a friend of our Joy family."

Following Officer Jenny's departure, Ash was approached by Nurse Joy who sincerely expressed her gratitude.

"You're extremely kind, Nurse Joy. If I weren't there, you could also use the teleportation machine to transfer the Pokeballs to Pokémon Centers in other cities."

Ash displayed slight politeness.

He is quite interested in the friendship with the Joy family mentioned by Nurse Joy.

This must be because of the reputation +1 reward given by the system.

He just doesn't know what will be the effect of this reputation.

It would be nice if there were more missions like this to increase his reputation with others.

When the time comes, it's not too much to ask the Joy family for a Chansey right?

Ash thought secretly in his heart.

"You're being too humble, Ash."

Nurse Joy chose not to pursue the subject, She just silently remembered Ash's Help in her heart.

Using the teleportation machine to travel to a different city's Pokémon Center before Team Rocket can steal your Poké Ball is definitely an option.

However, the process of teleportation is time-consuming and Team Rocket has the ability to stop it by either obliterating the teleportation machine or capturing her before she finishes transporting.

If Ash had not intervened, the outcome would have been considerably significant.

There are hundreds of Pokémon present, including the one receiving treatment!

"You are quite composed, Ash. Your dependability during crucial moments is rather impressive."

"It's just too risky to do this. What if it doesn't succeed and the other party directly orders the Pokémon to attack you?"

Misty stepped forward as she said this.

"Can I assume that you, Misty, care about me?"

Suddenly, Misty's fair face blushed red.

"I couldn't care less about your narcissism. My concern is solely that you might perish in this place, and you still haven't treated me to a meal - make it two if we include the reward from Team Rocket."

Let's go, let's go. Misty exemplifies the classic tsundere personality.

If Ash had been in the original plot instead of me, one would have portrayed a tsundere while the other character would be emotionally flat and dull.

Being together feels strange.

Throughout history, it has been confirmed that those who exhibit arrogance often encounter misfortune and end up in a position which is worse than dogs. The validity of this proverb cannot be denied!

"Ah, yes, yes, I owe you two big meals. You don't have to save money for me then."

"In that case, let's forget about it. There are numerous ways to spend money while on the trip. Just treat me to two cones."

Misty still didn't want to extort Ash.

Afterall all the money was earned by Ash through his own skills, She didn't do anything to earn them she just watched from the sidelines.

If she were also involved, then Ash would had to feel the pain of losing money.

Well, I have to add two extra large cones and a portion of takoyaki.

"Pikachu?"

While standing in Ash's shoulder Pikachu scratching his head looking confused

What is happening here.

"Ash, Misty, Pikachu, next time you come remember to meet me."

"Definitely, see you next time!" x 2

"Pikachu~"

The next morning, under the warm farewell of Nurse Joy, they left the Pokémon Center of Virdian City.

"Ash, there's a Virdian Gym located in Virdian City. Would you be interested in giving it a shot?"

Misty proposed to Ash shortly after departing from the Pokemon Center.

Ash cast a glance at me that seemed to question, "Do you genuinely believe I am foolish?"

Secretly thinking the plan had failed, Misty smiled.

Her initial intention was to motivate Ash into facing the Viridian Gym and undergo the sensation of being subdued by a ferocious creature.

The Virdian Gym sees many Trainers, even those with years of experience traveling under their belt, fail each year.

The Virdian Gym Badge is known to be the most challenging badge to earn, Except for the Cinnabar Gym, which has gradually become silent in recent years.

Typically, regular trainers opt to compete against gyms that offer a slightly lower level of difficulty.

An instance would be their Cerulean gym.

Despite her reluctance to admit, the truth remains that the Cerulean Gym is the weakest gym of all Gyms in Kanto Region.

It's all the fault of her three sisters.

In the Kanto Region, there are over twelve Gyms that meet the condition of participating in Indigo Plateau Conference. Obtaining a Gym Badge from eight of them is all you need to do.

Ash also knows this, As a system mission was triggered last night before going to bed.

He just accepted it and didn't look at it further.

Not to mention how difficult the Virdian Gym is, it's worth noting that its boss is none other than the leader of Team Rocket.

Ash had just sent the Rocket trio in prison and ran to the boss to challenge the gym.

I'm afraid it's no different than seeking death.

[System mission: Challenge Giovanni as Viridian's Gym Leader and win Earth Badge. Mission reward: Mewtwo Earl Pokemon favorability increase, Charizard Mega Evolution stone x. ]

Upon noticing the mission displayed on the mission panel, Ash made up his mind to complete it before returning to Pallet Town at the end of the trip.
