Chapter 274 It's all for justice!
Upon seeing Ash's terrifying smile, the thief sisters instinctively felt a chill run down their spines and immediately frantically called out to their Pokémon.
"Eevee, when are you going to stop resting? Use Spectral Beam!"
Hearing the trainer's call, Espeon leaped out of the rubble.
It seems that Sanna's Espeon is quite well-trained; it can still stand up after being hit by Pikachu's Iron Tail.
Along with it came Ariados, who had been thrown back by the rocks. The rocks in Water City were relatively loose, so Ariados was unharmed.
"Ariados, use Poison Jet to attack the trainer directly!" Lian was even more ruthless.
"Hmph, choosing to attack a trainer directly, truly befitting their morally corrupt nature as members of the underworld!" Ash sternly rebuked them.
"An excellent and upright trainer like me would never do such a thing."
"Pikachu?" (Really?)
"What's with that expression?!" Ash glared at Pikachu. "Bad guys are an exception, of course."
At that moment, the strange beam hit Ash's chest muscle, but unfortunately it had no effect on him.
With a pose reminiscent of Ultraman's chest muscles catching a beam of light, Ash interrupted Espeon's attack with a wave of his hand.
Ash easily caught Ariados's poison attack with his bare hands.
Its purple-glowing tentacles went limp when Ash squeezed them, and it was tossed into the air.
"The skill power is pretty good."
These two Pokémon are probably comparable in strength to the main Pokémon of a veteran Gym Leader.
But it's not enough to defeat Ash.
"Pikachu, Volt Attack!"
"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu leaped up from the ground instantly, a powerful electric current enveloping its entire body.
The rat's electromagnetic cannon slammed violently into Ariados's torso, then exploded with a deafening roar.
Poor Ariados fell from the sky amidst black smoke, landing directly in the arms of its terrified trainer, Sanna.
This time, Ariados has completely lost his ability to fight.
Ash leaped to Espeon's side and delivered a cat kick to the creature that most closely resembled the pink Hakimi.
Although Ash held back his kick, it still made Hakimi roll his eyes as if he had suddenly become incredibly skilled, and lose his will.
Then Ash grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and flung her back into Lian's arms in the speedboat.
The seemingly insignificant force caused the entire speedboat to rock violently from side to side, nearly capsizing.
The sisters opposite were terrified by this scene, and Latias stopped running away and curiously hopped back step by step.
"Who exactly are you?!"
This is the first time the Phantom Thief Sisters have encountered such a situation while traveling across various regions; the opposing Pokémon and Trainer are ridiculously strong.
"That's what I wanted to ask you. Who are you people? You're not some damned poachers, are you?"
"Hmph, how could that be? We're not those kinds of lowlifes." As soon as Sanna heard Ash mistake them for poachers, she immediately put on an arrogant and sour face and denied it repeatedly.
Even though he's not exactly a saint himself, he's unusually attentive to detail in places like this.
"We only love beautiful female thieves who adore pretty jewels."
"Being a thief doesn't seem like such a noble thing!"
They spoke with such conviction that Xiao Zhi thought they were about to say something shocking, but it turned out they were a group of thieves.
While Sanna pretended to talk to Ash to distract him, she and her sister quickly put all the Pokémon back into their Poké Balls.
Then he immediately floored the accelerator and started the speedboat, trying to escape quickly.
But how could such a small action escape Ash's keen eyes? His strong and powerful hand grabbed the side edge of the speedboat.
With a little force, Xiao Zhi's fingers embedded themselves in the metal of the speedboat. He stood easily on the shore, using one hand to hold the speedboat in place.
"Is this something a human could do?"
The engine was running at full power, and the hull was almost deformed, but the speedboat still didn't move an inch.
The two sisters were instantly soaked; the cold sweat on their foreheads was more than they had ever shed in the first half of their lives combined.
"Don't even think about escaping once you've met me!" Ash controlled the speedboat with one hand and reached out with the other to grab Lian, who was steering the boat, by the neck.
Lillian was slowly lifted up by Ash, whose strength made it impossible for her to resist.
"Let go of my sister."
Seeing that Lian was being held by Ash, the blonde Sana immediately rushed forward anxiously to pry Ash's hand away.
She thrust the poisoned needle from her sleeve at Ash, but it couldn't even penetrate Ash's skin; the needle bent over.
"How is that possible—"
This is the first time in all these years that the thief sisters have suffered such a Waterloo.
"Ash, what are you doing?"
Unexpectedly, Misty and Serena suddenly emerged from a nearby alley; they too had come to look for Ash.
"Our match is about to start this afternoon, let's hurry over to the sports center."
"Wait a minute, don't come any closer."
Seeing two more girls appear, Ash's attention was diverted, and Lian suddenly made a firm decision.
"Sanna, Plan B!"
The moment the words were spoken, the speedboat exploded with tremendous force.
The streets and bridges on both sides of the river were instantly blown up, and the surrounding buildings were severely affected, with many collapsing.
Fortunately, most of the residents in the houses were attending the celebration and watching the battle, so there were not many casualties.
At the moment of the explosion, Ash immediately moved Pikachu, Latias, Misty, and Serena to a safe place, protecting them with his body.
The Phantom Thief Sisters were truly terrified of Ash and dared not linger there for even a moment longer.
Despite being closest to the source of the explosion, he endured the pain, immediately activated his hidden jetpack, and recklessly overloaded it to escape.
Unfortunately, despite the smoke, Ash's Aura Sensor clearly detected all their movements.
"These two have a lot of high-tech equipment on them."
Moreover, their Pokémon are all quite strong, and Ash felt that letting them escape at this point would definitely cause more trouble.
With that thought in mind, Ash quickly put on the title he had been given, "Enemy of Humanity."
[Public Enemy of Humanity: When worn, it reduces human affinity towards you by 20, but increases the success rate of using Sweet Balls on "targets" with evil attributes by 4 times!]
Although when he received this title, Ash said that as a partner of justice, he would never use it even if it meant his death.
But the situation is special now.
"This is all for justice!" Ash felt that his sacrifice was too great.
Then he immediately threw them with all his might, and the two sweet balls flew out like bullets, their speed exceeding that of a jetpack, and they hit the back of the phantom thief sisters' heads.
【Sweet Ball (Special): Increases the success rate by 8 when capturing an object of a different gender from your own character】
倍】
The two sisters were so busy running away that they didn't notice Ash at all in the smoke, and they were both hit by Sweet Balls.
After a shake, two loud thuds followed.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved the achievement "Guardian of the Heart Drop": You have successfully changed the fate of the Heart Drop being destroyed. May the God of Airplanes bless you! (laughs)]
[Rewards: Alliance Coins +4000; Free Attribute Points +4; Regional Favorability +5; Regional Prestige +5]
"What are you laughing at! And what is this 'God of Airplanes' thing anyway? Why not just add 'cup' to the back of the plane!"
'
"But these two guys really are a menace! It was definitely the right decision to catch them!" Ash felt that he had taken another small step forward in the process of leading the League toward a bright future.
"Ash, what's with that smile on your face? It looks... so evil."
Ash was taken aback when he heard Serena's question.
"I didn't laugh."
It seems that wearing this title has a side effect: to others, Ash's face appears to be shrouded in a faint, sinister smile.
Quickly change the title to the one Ash usually wears, the one that gives discounts on purchases.
The evil aura emanating from him vanished instantly. Serena rubbed her cute big eyes and took a closer look; Ash's demeanor was normal again.
She thought she must have been blinded by the smoke and dust, which was why she had misjudged the situation.
While everyone was distracted, Ash quickly stored the two Sweet Balls and the jetpack into his storage space.
