He knows Pokémon better than me.

All the Pokémon were engrossed in their training, but after Bearpick unleashed ten powerful punches that could have shattered a mountain, Ash's palms only turned slightly red.

For the first time, the expressionless teddy bear showed a look of frustration and went to the side to sulk and recover its strength.

Its strength lies in its explosive bursts of power and continuous heavy punches, but its stamina is also rapidly declining, making it difficult to sustain combat.

"I'm still a long way from becoming Kapok Bear."

Xiao Zhi sighed and shook his hand. To his surprise, his right arm was numb from the shock.

However, you can't show it in front of your own Pokémon.

The other Pokémon are all training in an orderly manner, with only two others remaining that haven't started training yet.

"Whoa!"

Lingyouma was lying by the pool, leisurely enjoying the beautiful scenery of the glacier waterfall.

To be honest, this icy and snowy environment gave it a feeling of returning to the Crown Snowfield.

Even the aura felt incredibly familiar. It was as if I had returned to ancient times, to the time when I was vying with that Snowstorm Horse for the title of the sole ruler of this continent.

Ash sighed; he hadn't fully tamed the Spirit Horse yet.

Now you can ride it and command it in battle. Although the Spirit Horse will complain arrogantly every time, it will still obey.

However, in order to command and train
The intimacy level is not high enough.

Ash had no choice but to let the Spirit Horse do as it pleased, and looked to his side.

"Chirp chirp~!"

Maya was staring at her with her pink eyes, as if to say, "Hurry up and teach her a lesson too."

"Uh, I forgot about you."

Magearna had previously shown little interest in Pokémon battles, but after the Seaside Festival battle, she seems to have developed a strong interest in them.

As mythical beasts, they inherently possess unique power and extraordinary potential.

Normal moves are not a problem for Magearna, but when facing Shinji's Electivire, Magearna did more than just use skills.

It also drew out the power of the soul heart inside the chest cavity, which allowed it to overwhelmingly control the electric monster and defeat it.

"In other words, if you want to obtain power that is no less than, or even surpasses, other mythical beasts, then the power of the Soul Heart is something you must master."

Ash pointed his finger at Magearna's blue and pink Soul Heart.

Based on the previous observation, it seems that Soul Heart can significantly enhance the effects of all of Magiana's moves?
It's not a Psychic-type Pokémon, so its Psychic ability shouldn't be able to restrain Electivire. However, with the Soul Heart buff, even Electivire, which can only defeat Elite Four level Pokémon head-on, was still firmly restrained.

"Tweet?"

Maya blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Does the power of the soul and heart exist?
Previously, the use of the Soul Heart was subconscious; now we need to make it use it actively.
"Then practice until you can use it with complete control! Melmeta!!"

Ash called out to the muscular man at the foot of the waterfall. The man understood and immediately slammed his fist into the rock wall, carving out a huge ice rock from the waterfall and throwing it onto the shore.

"Mageyana, use the Illusion Ray to lift this stone!"

Xiaozhi commanded.

The illusion beam is the most basic superpower move, with limited power. Under normal circumstances, Magearna would not be able to lift the stone with just this move.

"Chirp chirp!"

Magiana's face was tense, and her eyes flashed with blue light, forming circles of psychic shockwaves that enveloped the nearly three-meter-wide ice rock.

It didn't budge. Even though Maya's face turned red, and the rattling of gears inside her could be heard several meters away, it was still to no avail.

"Alright, now let's use the power of the Soul Heart and try again."

Upon hearing this, Magearna gave Ash a resentful look, and the robotic doll's face became increasingly expressive.

It sounds simple, but how exactly do you use the power of the soul and heart?

Xiao Zhi scratched his head. Although most robots come with an instruction manual when they leave the factory, it seems that Maya doesn't.
"Chirp chirp!"

With no other option, Magiana could only grit her teeth and continue releasing illusionary beams, forcing the gears within her body to operate, attempting to connect with the power deep within her chest.

"It seems that this power is not so easy to control."

Seeing that the ice rock remained motionless, Ash shook his head and sighed.

However, once Magearna truly masters this power, it will be roughly equivalent to Keldeo completing its awakening and being able to wield its own unique, mysterious sword.

That would mean their combat effectiveness would be on a completely different level.

Ash then walked around, pointing out any Pokémon that needed adjustment.

With twenty years of travel experience, guiding a new team is a piece of cake for him.

Every now and then, I'd go over to Lingyouma and stroke her cool, flamboyant black hair to increase her favorability.

The scene of him and his Pokémon training intensely by the pond also attracted the attention of those watching from the shadows.

"Yuk?"

Yukishi, who lives at the source of the waterfall, Lake Wisdom, was quickly drawn to the scene and curiously observed from mid-air.

Although there are a few humans in Pearl Village who are passionate about Pokémon battles, such a concentrated training setting is still quite rare.

The members of the Pearl Team basically just find an open space near the settlement to practice the simplicity of their moves.

I will never catch more than three Pokémon.

The people of Xicui value "how to survive" more than "sparring" with Pokémon.

The level of professional training that Xiaozhi received is completely ahead of its time.

This amazed Yukshi, who symbolized knowledge, and he watched with great interest, finally finding something new.

At the same time, it wasn't just Kexi who was observing from a high vantage point.

Yin Ren, the leader of the Ginkgo Merchant Guild, was taking a break to swim and fish at the Wisdom Lake above the waterfall when he was drawn to the bustling scene below.

"Hmm, are all of these Ash's Pokémon?"

Yinren looked astonished. How could one person have subdued so many?

Moreover, there were many Pokémon that he, a merchant who had traveled all over the country, had never even seen before, and they did not seem to be Pokémon from the Green region.

Especially the white-skinned "green onion duck" with its own large green onion, it could probably fetch a high price on the black market.

After watching for a while, Yinren finally fixed his gaze on Xiong's apprentice.

The latter had half his body underwater, constantly swinging his fists left and right, each movement creating splashes of water.
"What kind of Pokémon is this?"

Yinren's usually lazy and listless face suddenly showed a bit more interest.

This is the first time in all these years that he has seen such a promising and suitable Pokémon.

Perhaps his ancient fighting technique has finally found a successor?! (End of Chapter)
