Chapter 125 - Chapter 125: Stripping the Bad Guys Bare is the Right Thing to Do

-"Pika~chu!"

"Tyra!"

With Pikachu's Iron Tail attack, Tyranitar collapsed to the ground. The hunter stood dumbfounded, watching as his Tyranitar was taken down in a single Iron Tail strike.

Just as the hunter was spacing out, all his underlings had already been taken down. After all, Ash's giant Onix wasn't just for show—its enormous size alone was enough to make enemies despair.

Not to mention Ash's Chansey wreaking havoc with Bajiquan, while Meowth led a team of Primeape, Rapidash, Beedrill, Charmeleon, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur to clean up. Meanwhile, Gardevoir stayed by Ash's side, making the actual security detail—Arcanine—feel rather awkward.

"Woof! (I'll protect my master just fine.)"

"Gardevoir" (So you're a single dog⊥ don't disturb me and Ash)

Dragonite, who had been silently standing by to protect Ash all along, shook its head. Youth, can't read the room. That Gardevoir girl clearly has her own little plan.

When the last Pokémon of the Hunter organization was defeated. They attempted one final struggle. They pulled out small self-defense guns.

"Damn it! You're forcing my hand! Don't come any closer or we'll shoot!"

Watching the desperate struggle of Hunter Y and his underlings, Ash turned to the Psyduck that had been hiding in his backpack and said, "Psyduck, use Gardevoir's Petrify move. I'll cook later."

"Got it!"

"Gardevoir!"

As Psyduck and Gardevoir worked together, Hunter Y and his subordinates were all immobilized.

"What the—?!"

Looking at the paralyzed hunters and their crew, Ash turned to the surrounding wild Pokémon and said, "Go wild, everyone. Feel free to beat them up. After you're done, we'll finish them off with an Electroweb."

Hearing Ash say this, the Pokémon led by Kangaskhan nodded, then together they began approaching the hunters.

"Fuck! Stay the hell away from me!"

---Dividing Line---

After being brutalized by the wild Pokémon and then electrocuted by the mechanical net's electric field, the hunters finally fell completely silent. To prevent any accidents, Ash had the security team strip the hunters completely naked—not even leaving their underwear—before feeling assured enough to have them tied up.

Misty looked at the completely naked hunters and asked somewhat speechlessly, "Ash... isn't this going a bit too far...?"

Ash shook his head and said, "No no no, this is the safest way. You have to understand that hunter organizations always keep backup plans - we're just taking responsibility for our own safety."

Seeing Misty still didn't quite get it, Lyn sighed and explained, "Come on Misty, this is standard procedure for Ash. Whenever we go out together, he always ends up looking like the robber. Even though we're the ones who got robbed in the first place..."

Suzy also added somewhat awkwardly, "Um... actually Ash has had this habit since school days. Whenever he gets into fights, he always strips people completely. Says it's to prevent someone from stealing with weapons..."

Just as Misty was speechless, Gabby and Ty were watching the footage.

-"Got everything recorded perfectly. But should we cut the part where Ash had the Hunter Organization members stripped naked?"

Upon hearing Ty's words, Gabby was about to say something when Ash suddenly stepped forward and said, "No, we must keep this part. It's essential! This way, the outside organization will understand our methods."

Gabby glanced at the stripped and tied-up hunter, feeling speechless. Who would have thought that Ash, who usually appeared so polite, could be this ruthless? But I...

"Alright, finally time to rest. Been working all night and I'm exhausted... phew."

As soon as Ash said this, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Gardevoir immediately gathered around him. Seeing the three of them like this, Ash realized he'd be sleeping with his Pokémon tonight.

Inside the large tent, Ash reminded his Pokémon: "Charmeleon, cover the flame on your tail. Gardevoir, good night. Don't touch me randomly. I'm a light sleeper and will really get angry if woken up. Arcanine, no teeth grinding at night. Arbok, don't coil around me. Rapidash's flames are fine though. Squirtle, stop rushing me, I'm coming now."

Watching the Squirtle continuously patting the bed and beckoning to him, Ash helplessly took his group of Pokémon to rest first. Indeed, Ash was quite tired today.

Meanwhile, Misty, Lyn, and Suzy went to rest with Togepi and Jessie first. The only ones still working were the night shift staff of the Continental Hotel, the personnel guarding the hunters, plus Gabby and Ty.

Gabby looked at Ash inside the tent—lying with his head on Arcanine, left arm holding Gardevoir, right arm holding Squirtle, Pikachu perched on his head, and Meowth lounging on his stomach—and wrote in her notes: "Though we've just met, Continental Hotel's owner Ash unexpectedly turns out to be someone who brings a sense of security. He's trusted by his Pokémon like family—perhaps this is what Continental Hotel has always meant by the bond of trust between humans and Pokémon. I'll continue reporting on this gradually. I have a feeling our connection with Ash won't end here."
