Chapter 116 Boss Sakaki is fooling you
There is no land connection between Pallet Town and Daikan Island; Ash and his friends would have to travel to the nearest town and take a plane to get there.
But when passing by the store's raffle stand, Ash's gambling instincts kicked in again.
"Spend over 1 in the store and you'll get a chance to win a prize! The grand prize is a round-trip airship ticket to the Orange Islands!"
Xiao Zhi would never miss an opportunity to save money, so he rushed over, and Xiao Xia couldn't stop him.
Xiao Zhi frequents this store because the medicines are cheap, and his spending has long exceeded 1.
After asking if he could use previous records and receiving an affirmative answer, Ash immediately began his "divine draw".
"Xiao Zhi, let's go buy tickets. These things are just for show; it's impossible for anyone to actually win one."
This is a deep pain for the girl; since childhood, winning prizes in lotteries has only brought Xiaoxia setbacks.
But to her surprise, when Xiao Zhi casually reached out and pulled, the shop assistants immediately became excited and shook the bell vigorously.
Congratulations to this guest on winning the first prize!
"What?!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved the achievement "Call me the Lucky One!": You have won the first prize 10 times in the lottery event.]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Free Attribute Points +2; Money-Gathering Coins +100]
Xiao Zhi, who had saved the cost of two plane tickets, happily led Xiao Xia to find the airship's airport.
"Why is it that I've never won a prize in my entire life, while Ash wins just by randomly drawing one?"
The girl was rambling on and on.
"Xiaoxia, don't compare yourself to me. I'm the chosen one of the world's destiny." Ash inadvertently revealed a remarkable truth.
"If you want to be lucky, just stay by my side."
He quietly circled around behind Xiaoxia and suddenly hugged her.
"We'll never be apart!"
[Ding! Xiaoxia: Affection +1]
"Oh, you're being naughty again—"
Amidst the commotion, they arrived at their destination.
This airport is a general aviation airport; it not only has airships but also many airplanes parked there.
When I told the staff that I wanted to ride an airship, they all looked at me with admiration.
"That's so brave."
"You have the courage?"
"This airship is known as a cursed spaceship, and it has had a series of accidents—legend has it that it is inhabited by evil spirits! You'd better watch out!" The staff immediately ran away as if they were hiding from something dirty, as Ash and his friends were led to the front of the airship.
"This airship looks a bit dilapidated, Ash," Misty thought, wanting to back out. She was afraid of not only bugs but also ghosts.
In a world with Ghost-type Pokémon, being afraid of ghosts is perfectly reasonable!
However, Ash wasn't afraid of any supernatural phenomena, and besides, he still had to buy plane tickets afterward. "I'm not willing to give up! Anyway, at most it's some kind of ghost Pokémon or something. Misty, let's go!" After saying that, Ash rushed towards the airship.
"Hey, Ash, wait for me!"
They handed in their tickets and boarded the plane, deciding to take a look first.
"Welcome, Rocket Airship—Master Ash!"
"Kojiro, Musashi?"
After talking to the trio, Ash finally learned about Team Rocket's latest situation.
Although Team Rocket's forces in the Kanto region suffered a major blow with the destruction of several key strongholds, their leader Giovanni escaped. As long as he remains, Team Rocket will not be completely wiped out.
Furthermore, Giovanni's methods were extremely shrewd; the Rockets' previously legitimate companies were still able to operate normally in the Kanto region.
League officials could find no evidence that these companies were related to the Rockets, and the group behind these companies was even called the Rockets Consortium.
"The Kanto Alliance has certainly not disappointed me."
Such subordinates made Ash feel a headache for the chairman.
Of course, it can't be said that the president's actions were ineffective; the Rockets did indeed suffer a major blow.
Giovanni was attacked by the Elite Four and Professor Oak together.
They slunk away to the Johto region to lick their wounds and gather strength.
Team Rocket activities in the Kanto region have also temporarily disappeared, except for the trio in front of Ash.
These three idiots dare to brazenly claim to be the Rockets' geniuses at a time like this.
"By the way, what are you all doing here?"
"We were also surprised because we hadn't managed to snag a single Pokémon during the Indigo League, and we thought we were going to get another scolding from Giovanni."
"But he actually let us take over this flight department, saying that it is an important source of revenue for the group and must be handed over to trustworthy people. They are a little proud of this, being able to do so well in both the Rocket and Crimson organizations."
We three are really awesome.jpg
"But I heard that this airship is cursed, it keeps having accidents, and no one dares to ride it anymore."
This dilapidated place doesn't look like the kind of place a highly valued person would come to.
"And if you really valued it, shouldn't you have brought it to the Johto Rockets' new headquarters? You've clearly been exiled!"
After listening to Xiaozhi's analysis, they finally understood.
"What? That bastard Banmu said this place is so shabby, and there are only three of us in the whole department."
It seems those three unlucky guys were just randomly assigned to this airship department.
"Does the Rockets still have any official members in the Kanto region?"
"There are a few more, but they're all around our level."
"Then it's still useful. Just do as Sakaki says and run this airship division well."
We can continue to infiltrate Team Rocket's remaining influence in Kanto through the idiot trio.
If Kojiro and his crew can revive the airship division, they might regain Itagaki's favor.
If the trio is transferred to Johto, it will be easier to carry out Ash's mission of planting spies.
"But putting that aside for now, this airship can fly, right?"
This is what Ash cares about most right now.
Damn airship, you absolutely have to get going!
"Ash, I have some bad news. The airship has already taken off."
At this moment, Xiaoxia tugged at Xiaozhi's sleeve and pointed out the window.
Xiao Zhi quickly looked outside and saw patches of cloud drifting by.
Actually, there's something Xiaozhi doesn't know: airships and airplanes are different.
Even if left unattended, the airship will naturally take flight.
Airport staff, seeing that the airship's door was already closed, removed the airship's restraints as was customary.
Before they even realized it, Ash's new journey had already begun.
This is such a shoddy operation! He was a bit dumbfounded; no wonder accidents always happen.
"Now that we've taken off, boss, enjoy your trip." Kojiro took out the food he had prepared in advance and set it out in the cabin.
These things looked quite presentable, so I sat down with Xiaoxia to eat first.
But suddenly, Ash thought of something chilling: "If all three of you are here, then who is piloting the airship?"
Musashi immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "Boss, there are only three of us in the entire department. Nobody can fly the airship."
"Meow, we're doomed!"
The cabin was in complete chaos.
"Calm down, take me to the driver's seat."
This is where the leader's role comes in; with Xiaozhi's reassurance, everyone quickly cheered up.
The crisis ignited Ash's competitive spirit; he was determined to fly to the Orange Islands in this airship today.
[Ding! Congratulations on triggering a new side quest "It's an Airplane, It's a Bird, It's Superman!": Please safely fly the airship to Daigan Island.]
[Rewards: League Coins +1200; Speed +2; New Ability: Flying Lv1: This is Flying! (Should Groudon fly?)]
The cockpit of an airship looks very different from that of an airplane; it lacks various sophisticated instruments.
The equipment here looks more like the cockpit of a ship, and it even has a steering wheel.
As soon as Xiao Zhi gripped the steering wheel in the cockpit, knowledge about how to use the airship automatically came to mind.
His special ability, "Martial God Does Not Die Unarmed," came into play; his level three ability allowed him to master the use of the vast majority of weapons in the world.
"So that means this airship is classified as a weapon?" I feel sorry for the airship.
With Xiao Zhi in charge, the airship immediately stabilized, and he became more and more adept at piloting it.
The airship continued to fly through the air, and Kojiro and the others took out food from the cabin to treat Misty and Togepi again.
It seems like everything will go smoothly from now on... right?
Suddenly, a huge thundercloud appeared in front of Ash, covering a very large area.
He quickly tried to descend the airship, but it wouldn't come down no matter what he did.
It was Kojiro and the others who forgot to fill the storage compartment with water, which was used to control the rise and fall.
"Those three idiots, damn it, I can't break free!"
This dilapidated airship was long overdue for scrapping, and at this moment it lacked the power to break free from such a large expanse of lightning clouds.
Left with no other choice, Xiaozhi accelerated and rushed over. Xiaoxia, whose boat was tilting wildly inside, was also startled and quickly went to the wheelhouse to check the situation.
"What on earth happened, Satoshi?"
"Xiaoxia, can you swim?"
Yes, I will.
"Would you die if you fell from a height of 3 meters?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
As they were talking, the canvas beside the airship was successfully struck by lightning and torn off. (T-to)
