Chapter 93 Daily Life
The next day, Ash arrived at Professor Oak's Laboratory with Gardevoir and the Ralts Pokémon Egg.
After a brief exchange with the gluttonous Mew, Ash spotted the three familiar faces of Team Rockets.
"Team Rockets, what are you doing here?" he asked curiously.
"Heh heh, that's all thanks to your Pokémon, Ash! You hateful guy!" Jessie gritted her teeth.
Hearing this, Ash became even more confused, "What did Pikachu do to you?"
"Oh, Ash, you're here. These three friends of yours seem to be helping you with special training. Pikachu brought them yesterday."
At this moment, Professor Oak walked out of the laboratory, followed by Annihilape and Lucario.

Professor Oak was excited when he saw these two Pokémon last night, and then he pestered them to cooperate with his research.
Of course, the main subject of the research was Annihilape; there wasn't much research blank for Lucario, so he only recorded data.
"Annihilape and Lucario? So, Team Rockets, you helped Primeape and Riolu evolve, right?" Ash guessed.
"That's right, Ash, we've helped you so much, how much money are you going to give us?" James asked, rubbing his hands.
They took a beating yesterday. Although the medical supplies in Professor Oak's Laboratory were potent, the machines they smashed were valuable, and their funds were running low again. If they continued to help Ash's Pokémon train without the help of machines, James could already foresee himself getting injured every day.
"Money? As long as you can help my Pokémon improve their strength, money is not a problem," Ash generously stated.
Anyway, once the capsule technology company is up and running, these three guys will get a share of the profits. He'll give them a portion of the dividends in advance, and they won't even know, hehehe!
"Ash, you must keep your word!" Jessie's eyes were extremely serious.
"Naturally. Last time you helped me, I didn't shortchange you on the money. We're old friends; I won't trick you."
Seeing Ash dismiss the three members of Team Rockets, Professor Oak asked Ash, "Ash, you just said Primeape's evolution is called Annihilape? Do you know its evolution conditions?"
"I know. Primeape has a move called Rage Fist. As long as it uses this move to a certain extent, Primeape will evolve into Annihilape. Professor, you just gave Annihilape a physical examination; you should know that Annihilape is a Fighting and Ghost type.
The Rage Fist move is a move learned as Primeape's level increases, and it's also a Ghost-type move. As for the number of times it needs to be used, it should be twenty times," Ash explained.
"I see. I found it strange that Primeape, a pure Fighting type, gained the Ghost type after evolving," Professor Oak realized.
However, this was only the most superficial understanding; further research was needed to confirm it. So Oak looked at Ash.
Sensing Professor Oak's gaze, Ash quickly said, "Professor, I don't have time for research right now, so..."
"Alright, but I will write your name on this research report later. The credit for discovering Primeape's evolutionary form is yours, and for the name, let's use Annihilape."
In the Pokémon world, when a new Pokémon is discovered, the discoverer has the right to name it.
"Hey, hey, we were the ones who helped it evolve! Shouldn't we be the ones to name it?" Jessie was displeased.
They were the ones who facilitated Primeape's evolution, but now the right to name it still belonged to Ash? She had been thinking of using this opportunity to show her loyalty to Boss Giovanni. She had even thought of a name for Annihilape: 'Boss Giovanni's Most Majestic'.
"Monkey?"
Hearing Jessie's words, Annihilape's gaze turned cold, staring intently at Jessie.
Feeling the chill in Annihilape's eyes, Jessie quickly dragged Meowth and James away, reprimanding them in a seemingly proper manner, "What are you two staring at? It's time to work!"
"Professor, this Ralts Pokémon Egg, is it the surprise you mentioned the other day?" Ash showed Oak the Pokémon Egg he was carrying.
"Yes, it's this egg, but Ash, are you sure it's a Ralts?"
Actually, Oak knew about this egg before because Platane wasn't sure what kind of Pokémon it was either, so he came to him for confirmation. In the end, neither of them knew, which is how Oak learned about the egg's origin.
"I'm sure. The Pokémon inside this egg has an Aura reaction similar to Gardevoir's when she first hatched."
"A Ralts is good too. Anyway, you have experience raising Gardevoir, so I'm sure this child will quickly become another great asset to you after it hatches."
"Professor, when the time comes, I want him to evolve into Gallade."
Walking into the backyard, Jessie finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Jessie, I think it's best if you don't speak for a while," James said weakly.
If Jessie hadn't been so stubborn yesterday, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation. Just now, she knew not to provoke Annihilape, yet she still argued.
"Exactly! Meow!" Meowth echoed.
"What do you two mean? Do you think I'm holding you back?"
Jessie's gaze was chilling, making James and Meowth shiver inside.
"No, no, I mean, Jessie, you should rest for a bit. Talking too much will make you thirsty," James hastily explained.
Meowth nodded frantically.
"What are you three conspiring about again?" As soon as Ash entered the backyard, he saw the three of them whispering something.
Hearing Ash's words, the three immediately straightened up and defended themselves, "N-nothing!"
"Since it's nothing, then you can prepare yourselves. It's time to get to work soon."
After instructing the three members of Team Rockets, Ash looked at the green-skinned frog basking in the sun not far away and said, "Ivysaur, signal everyone to gather!"
"Da na!"
When Venusaur heard Ash's words, the flower bud on its back began to accumulate energy, and then a concentrated Solar Beam exploded in the air.
Ash's Pokémon, upon seeing the signal, all arrived in unison.
"Pika Pika!"
Knowing Ash had arrived, Pikachu was the fastest, transforming into a bolt of lightning and zipping over.
"Gardevoir?"
Gardevoir was very surprised by Pikachu's strength. After only a short time apart, Pikachu was actually stronger than her.
