Inside the Continental Hotel, after experiencing an amazing adventure, Ash and the gang could finally take a break and relieve their built-up fatigue.
"Ah~ Soaking in our own hotel's hot springs really is the most comfortable. All the fatigue in my body is vanishing."
Fully immersed in the hot spring, Ash enjoyed the soothing relief of the medicinal bath. Beside him, a Pokémon Egg was also soaking, which left Misty feeling a bit speechless.
"Ash... aren't you afraid that will turn into a soft-boiled egg?"
Regarding Misty's concern, Ash smiled and said, "It's fine. Pokémon Eggs are different from the eggs we eat. You don't need to worry about things like that. In fact, doing this is good for its incubation."
"Really?"
Seeing Misty's reaction, Ash smiled and handed the Pokémon Egg to her, saying, "Here, I'll leave this child in your care. It'll be a very cute little one."
"Really?"
Looking at the egg, Misty was also very curious about what was inside. Suzie looked at the patterns on the egg and said, "I see, it's a Togepi. It's indeed a very cute child, and it's a Pokémon that can bring a happy smile to everyone."
"Is that so?" Since even a Breeder like Suzie said so, Misty looked forward to Togepi's hatching more and more. At that moment, Bewear walked over, patted Ash, and pointed at herself.
Ash didn't even need to figure it out; Meowth, who was soaking in the next bath over, immediately understood what she meant.
"Hmm? You want a back massage? Then you go lie down on the bed first, Momma Bewear, I'll come massage you right away!"
"Bewear!" (Thanks, flying here and then fighting, I feel like I need to relax.)
Gary's situation was quite similar to Ash's. Since he was Ash's bro, he naturally got some special treatment. Gary was also resting in the medicinal hot spring with his girlfriends. The only one having a miserable time was still Brock.
"Hmm, Brock... your muscles are lacking! You can't be called a Rock-type Trainer looking like this! How can you call yourself a Rock-type Pokémon Trainer without muscles as hard as boulders?"
A burly, muscular guy continuously showed off his muscles to Brock, bumping Brock with his flexing arms.
"A man should look like a man! With your scrawny build, even the Boss can't stand to look at it!"
Surrounded by a bunch of muscle heads, Brock looked weak, pitiful, and helpless. However, what he didn't know was that the more he acted like this, the more excited these muscle heads became. They loved nothing more than drilling scrawny little chicks like him!
"Um, big bros... can I go out first?"
Seeing the excited grins on these muscle heads, Brock wanted to run away more and more. However, how could the muscle heads possibly let Brock go? In their eyes, Brock still had a lot of potential. Thus, a bunch of burly men directly pinned his limbs and said, "Why leave? Let me tell you, we're going to train properly today and let you experience the charm of muscles! Machamp, let's do this!"
"Machamp!"
"Nooooo!"
On the other side of the bathhouse, Takemura and Yusho were also soaking in the hot spring. Hearing the commotion from next door, Takemura laughed and said, "Oh? Sounds like they're having fun next door. I'm gonna go check it out. Those guys actually dare to compare muscles with me."
Hearing Takemura's plan, Yusho silently nodded and said, "Do what you want. Just don't forget the mission later."
"Got it! Hey! You jerks over there! Your Uncle Takemura is here! Let me show you what real muscles of steel look like!"

"Lord Ash. What should we do with these Fossil Pokémon?"
After finishing his medicinal bath, Ash rendezvoused with Takemura and Yusho as planned. Upon meeting, Ash handed twelve Poké Balls to them.
"Let's see what the old man thinks. If he plans to train them, let him train the rest, you guys just pick two to be your partners. But I still have to warn you, these guys are no pushovers. You must establish your position as their leader."
"We are extremely grateful. So, what is our next mission?"
"Starting now, assist Officer Jenny and her team in capturing Pokémon Hunters under the name of Team Rocket. If you want to change your image, you need a scapegoat to whitewash yourselves. Starting now, your mission is to whitewash yourselves."
"Understood! However, Lord Ash, Vicious from the Johto region seems to have dealings with the Pokémon Hunter syndicate."
Remembering the intel he had gathered earlier, Yusho reported it to Ash. Hearing this, Ash stroked the Arbok and Pikachu beside him and said, "It's fine. This is actually better. His goal has been the old man's position from the very beginning, so it's perfectly normal for him to collude with outsiders. You only need to remember one thing: act like you didn't see anything he does. Also, if that idiot asks for your help, find an excuse to refuse! Teaming up with an idiot like that is an easy way to get screwed over. I'd rather work with Jessie, James, and Meowth than cooperate with a guy like him."
"Understood! But Lord Ash, exactly how many Fossil Pokémon did you catch..."
"There are over 20 Kabuto, Omanyte, and the like. We'll leave it to Professor Oak to help them integrate into this modern, more peaceful world."
"Understood."
"Very well. Then I'll be going now. The rest is up to you guys."
After saying that, Ash didn't linger and went back to Misty and the girls. However, even by this time, Brock still hadn't returned. Ash, feeling puzzled, asked Meowth:
"Meowth, is Brock still not done soaking?"
Hearing Ash's question, Meowth and Pikachu revealed a wicked smirk. Meowth, with a mischievous expression, said, "Heh heh, the muscle squad said they were planning to chat with him all night long, so the boss probably won't be showing up for a while."
"Is that so? Come, my beloved concubines, while the third wheel is away, hurry into the Emperor's embrace!"
Seeing Ash act so goofy, Misty said helplessly, "Stop messing around. It'll be so awkward when Professor Oak and the others get here..."
"Gardevoir!" (I'm coming, darling!)
Misty and the others might be afraid of awkwardness, but there was one who wasn't! Gardevoir, who constantly kept an eye on anyone eyeing her Trainer, immediately threw herself into Ash's arms upon hearing his words. Ash patted Gardevoir's head and said, "Ah, as expected, Gardevoir is the only one who shows me some respect. You guys..."
"Oh? My family's Emperor has an issue with his little concubines? Planning to banish us to the cold palace?"
An incredibly familiar female voice rang out from behind Ash. Ash instantly stood up straight and said seriously: "What are you talking about, Daisy, I wouldn't dare!"
Seeing Ash act like this, Daisy chuckled and said, "Alright, jokes aside. Grandpa and the others are already here, you better prepare yourself, otherwise..."
"Lord Ash!!!"
Accompanied by an absolutely nauseating voice, Bill charged in and hugged Ash's leg.
"Kabuto! I need Kabuto, Lord Ash! I'm begging you! Let me see the Kabuto!"
"Get away! No wonder Daisy told me to prepare myself! You're a grown man, stop being so gross!"
"Lord Ash, please!"
"Damn it... Pikachu, Meowth, Chansey, get him!"
Following that, researcher Bill received a brutal beatdown!
