Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master.

Chapter 70 The Lovely and Charming Capitalist

In the Pokémon world, March 3rd is Doll Day, also known as Girls' Day, a festival for girls.

For the week following this day, everyone had to accommodate the girls celebrating the holiday, and all the stores would offer discounts to girls.

The doll market, the origin of the festival, will also earn a full year's worth of profits on this day!

At this moment, a trio dressed in black suits and with slicked-back hair arrived. What were they up to?

"Since you've asked so sincerely!"

"We'll mercifully tell you!"

"To prevent our group's market share from being seized!"

"To protect Ash's money!"

"A cunning act embodying love and truth!"

"An adorable and charming street lamp character!"

"Musashi!"

"Kojiro!"

"We are the Crimson Group capitalists traversing the galaxy!"

"Exploitation, the end of the world for the working class awaits us!"

"That's it~ Meow~~~~!"

Bang, bang, bang!

"What nonsense are you talking about? Where did you hear that from?"

This kind of opening line is not to be used, and how is Xiaozhi a heartless capitalist?

His company's employees' leave, salary, and benefits are top-notch in the industry.

More than one industry peer has said that his way of paying his subordinates' salaries is damaging the health of the market.

Musashi touched the large bump on his head and explained, feeling wronged.

"The boss heard that people from big corporations are like this, so we can't be outdone. That's why we changed our opening remarks."

"They are them, and we are us. Don't imitate every piece of trash."

"You've remembered everything you came here for today, right?"

We didn't call those three guys here to play around.

"Of course, boss. Isn't this the day that the group's factories have been expanding their production capacity all along?"

"The warehouse is already overflowing with perfumes and dolls shipped from the dark market."

"Let's go make a killing, meow!"

Satisfied with their answer, Xiao Zhi nodded happily.

"Every year during Doll Festival, girls go on shopping sprees like crazy, which is a golden opportunity to make money!"

"We'll definitely sell these dolls for twice the usual price, boss!"

"Twice isn't enough, ten times!"

With the group currently facing a backlog of inventory, whether it can turn things around depends on this wave.

"Alright, guys, let's go!"

After giving instructions to Team Rocket, Ash went to find Misty.

Because it's Baby Festival, and an egg that was dug up near the Grand Canyon has successfully hatched.

A cute egg-shaped creature named Togepi hatched.

So Xiaoxia is especially happy today.

A crazy shopping spree has begun, and Xiao Zhi is in charge of carrying her bags.

After strolling around the street for a short while, Ash and Pikachu were covered in things hanging from their arms, heads, and necks.

"Xiaoxia has done enough, hasn't she?"

Misty, who was feeding Togepi a dessert, shook her finger.

"This is nothing! My battle has only just begun!"

"Oh my god, where are you going this afternoon?"

She pointed to the GG sign on the building behind Ash.

"A superstar has arrived in Doll City..."

"Xiaoxia, so you're a fan of celebrities too?"

"Of course not, don't treat me like a shallow little girl, I meant the area over there."

"Everything in the shopping mall is 6% off!"

Sure enough, after lunch, Xiaoxia rushed to the boutique on the basement floor of the mall.

Xiaoxia successfully snatched several nice pieces of fabric after defeating a group of aunties on the periphery.

"She's definitely not a little girl, she's an older woman."

However, in other words, Xiaoxia is a mature, thrifty, and good girl who manages her household well.

Moreover, when Xiaozhi looked at the things Xiaoxia bought today, he realized that most of them were for him.

"move!"

Just then, Ash received good news over the phone: Kojiro and the others' operation went very smoothly.

A week in advance, they promoted the idea with the slogan, "If you love her, buy her a doll!"

The Pokémon dolls produced by the Red Group were quickly sold out.

This is further combined with a series of promotional tactics, including blind boxes of dolls, limited editions, celebrity perfume collaborations, and hiring hired guns to inflate the secondhand market.

Give the Pokémon world a little marketing shock.

The group's cash flow, which was previously in a precarious state, has finally started flowing again, and the company's brand has been established.

This month, the Philosophy Gym's alliance funds were finally disbursed, and Ash Ketchum is no longer penniless. Rich Ash is back in top form.

With the money, Xiaozhi bought a set of dolls for Girls' Day and gave them to Xiaoxia.

"What's in this big box?"

"Girls' Day dolls, didn't you say that from childhood to adulthood, as the youngest in the family, you never had a set of dolls of your own and always used the ones your older sisters had left over?"

[Ding! Xiaoxia: Affection +2]

"That's true, but I didn't expect you to buy it for me directly."

"I just signed up for the Girls' Day Pokémon contest. If I win, I can get a whole set of dolls."

Xiaoxia laughed again after she finished speaking.

"But I will cherish this set of dolls you gave me."

In the afternoon Pokémon battles, Misty, with Tentacruel and Omanyte given to her by Ash, fought her way through the competition to reach the finals.

But the opponent in the final was a huge surprise; it was Musashi.

Ash immediately pulled up Kojiro and Meowth, who were watching the game with him, and asked.

Why is Musashi participating?

"Meow, boss, you don't know this, Musashi is so pitiful. She has never seen a doll during festivals since she was a child."

Kojiro added.

"On Girls' Day, my family even lied to me, saying that children should just eat tree leaves on this day."

"So we saw that she was really pitiful, so we helped her do all the work so that Musashi could participate in the competition."

During the match, Xiaoxia first sent out Starmie to cleanly and efficiently take down Musashi's Abomination.

Because they had fewer battles of wits with Ash, Jessie and James's Pokémon, Ekans and Weezing, were weaker than before.

"Team Rocket really doesn't have much talent in Pokémon battles."

The outcome of the match was not in any suspense.

Although Jessie defeated Misty's Staryu and Psyduck, who suddenly appeared and caused trouble, by using her newly captured Lickitung to devise a surprising move.

However, Lickitung was still knocked out of the arena by Misty's Water Gun attack.

Having achieved final victory, Xiaoxia's face beamed with an radiant smile.

Two brand-new Girls' Day doll sets were sent back to the Cerulean Gym after Ash gave them the set with a ribbon attached.

Xiaoxia wanted to show off to her older sisters.

Meanwhile, Musashi's friends, Kojiro and Meowth, also bought her dolls.

"Girls' Day dolls are so expensive, we might have to eat canned food for a month now, Musashi."

"That's not important, thank you, Meow Meow Kojiro!"

The trio hugged each other excitedly, but Musashi was a bit too strong, and Meow Meow and Kojiro's faces were bruised from being squeezed.

------------

The next day, Ash and his friends arrived in a new town.

Xiaoxia stared blankly at the GG on the big screen.

"What's wrong, Xia?"

"Let me tell you, during Ash's last Girls' Day Pokémon battle, didn't Psyduck suddenly appear?"

That's right.

"I've always felt that the training of Psyduck was a failure. Look at that GG in the breeding center."

We'll shower Pokémon with love and even help them evolve! Our breeding center is as luxurious as a high-end hotel!

If you want your Pokémon to undergo a complete transformation, choose our Breeding Center.

This kind of "GG" term seems completely unreliable.

But Xia, having made up her mind, still wanted to send Psyduck to the breeding center to try it out.

Unbeknownst to them, the two owners of the breeding center, Yamato and Kosaburo, were reporting the mission progress to Boss Sakaki.
