He knows Pokémon better than me.

Snapped! !

The local Zoroark, with two tufts of purple hair, suddenly shook off Zoroark, baring its teeth and raising its claws in a show of defiance.

Why are you calling it "Dad"? The goddess won't want it anymore!
It even leaped directly in front of the female Zoroark, its eyes sharp, and let out a piercing cry:

"Solo!!"

It will fight according to the local customs of the Xicui region!

Only the winner gets a girlfriend!

"Solo."

Ash's Zoroark quickly raised its hand to explain, having no intention of fighting at all.

It has been with Ash since it hatched, and has never seen its parents. Now that it has finally returned to its homeland, it was somehow drawn here.

They're not here to mate!
However, with the shouts of the purple-haired Zoroark, the situation was no longer in its control.

Hearing the sounds of a duel between their own kind, other wild Zoroarks nearby gathered around, and soon seven or eight scarlet "will-o'-the-wisps" appeared in the silent snow forest. The Zoroarks all came together.

"Solo~?"

"Zoro!"

Many female Zoroarks will immediately light up their eyes when they see a glittering individual; in a human group, they would be the most striking and handsome ones.

Seeing the sudden tension, Xiao Zhi, who was perched on a high place, also became excited.

Yes, yes, that’s it!

By flexing his muscles within the pack and defeating the purple-haired creature, he can easily take down the female Zoroark!

Without further ado, the purple-haired Zoroark launched the first attack.

"Solo!!"

It cried out loudly, and despite the surrounding snow, dazzling lights suddenly appeared, illuminating its body.

In an instant, the surrounding Zoroarks also let out long howls, adding to its imposing presence.

"Using the illusion trait at the start to create momentum for yourself?"

Ash secretly made a note of it; it was the first time he had ever seen a wild Zoroark in battle.

The next moment, the purple-haired Zoroark opened his palm, and a black mist emanated from his body, instantly transforming him into a white-haired demon exuding a sinister aura.

"It has transformed into Darkrai, the Nightmare God?"

Ash recognized it at a glance and guessed its intention.

Zoroark is a Normal/Ghost type, and is only weak to Dark type among the eighteen types. Darkrai should be a creature that is greatly feared by its kind.

"learned!"

In future battles, you don't necessarily have to pretend to be someone from your own team; you can also pretend to be someone your opponent fears.

For example, when facing a pucker, you can immediately transform into a dream-attracting tapir. You might even be able to create an effect of "intimidation" or "cowardice".

The surrounding Zoroarks were all frightened by the illusion Darkrai and took a few steps back, but Ash's Zoroark showed no fear.

Ash has a real Nightmare in his backyard, it's his companion. How could he possibly be scared by Nightmare Illusion?

"Zoro!"

Seeing that his opponent remained unmoved, the purple-haired Zoroark became enraged and immediately lunged forward, his hand gripping the purple blade as he slashed at the latter's face.

Secret attack on key points!

As the most contradictory attribute combination, the competition between individual Green-type Pokémon is ineffective against both Normal and Ghost-type moves. "Zoro!"

Ash's Zoroark quickly retreated to avoid it, having no intention of fighting his "father".

However, this action was seen as a provocation by the other party, which fueled their fighting spirit. This time, the ghost claws closed, and a shockwave composed of countless black light circles suddenly blasted out.

Waves of evil!

Ash Zoroark immediately flashed, creating countless clones to evade the evil wave.

Purple Hair changed its attack trajectory, sweeping across all clones like a machine gun, unleashing a wave of evil energy.

Even the onlookers, including Zoroark, scrambled to get out of the way.
Dark-type moves are extremely effective against them.

"Huh? Why isn't Zoroark fighting back!"

On the hillside, Xiao Zhi watched anxiously. This guy had absolutely no idea how to pursue girls!
How can you win the heart of a beauty without showing off your muscles!
He squinted and looked behind him, and sure enough, the female Zoroark's attention had been drawn to the purple-haired creature that had suddenly appeared.

No, he has to help!
Xiao Zhi raised his palm and began installing the appropriate Z-Crystal on the Z-Bracelet.
Even in the Greenland region, Z-Moves can be used normally.

He then kept a close eye on the battlefield, looking for the right opportunity.

Just as the purple-haired man launched another sneak attack on a vital spot, Zoroark, who had no desire to fight, leaped up, flipped and spun in the air, preparing to use the weakest Swallow Return to knock away the purple blade in the former's hand.

Instantly, Ash's gaze sharpened.

"The opportunity has come!!"

He crossed his arms and quickly made a flying Z-shape on the high slope, and in an instant a beam of golden light shot out.

A distance of about fifty meters is roughly the maximum length of the Z-Move.

Zoroark's battle was filled with various illusions and dazzling lights, so no one around him seemed surprised by the pale golden light shooting down from above.

However, Zoroark, who was about to cover his claws with the power of Swallow Return, suddenly froze.

I felt the power within my body surging forth continuously, to the point that I couldn't even control my own body.
Stop!
In the next instant, Zoroark soared dozens of meters into the sky, its body becoming exceptionally light, entering the flying posture that Groudon most envied.

"Solo?!"

Zoroark was unaware of what was happening until it flew into the air and caught a glimpse of Ash on the hillside, who was smiling and giving it a thumbs up.

Kill that purple-haired guy, and I'll get my girlfriend tonight!

Accept the help from the trainer!
"Solo!!"

Zoroark's expression changed drastically, and it hurriedly tried to stop its actions, but its Z-Move was already in the air and could not be stopped.

Whoosh whoosh! !

The next moment, it transformed into a giant bird and swooped down rapidly, accompanied by the roar of a jet engine, pushing the power of the Swallow Return move to its limit.

Flying Z-Move: A high-speed dive and devastating slam!
The group of country bumpkins below were completely dumbfounded; they had never seen a flying Zoroark before.

The purple-furred Zoroark stood frozen in place, unable to move or retaliate due to the powerful cyclone pressure; it could only watch helplessly as the giant bird swooped down from the sky.
Whoosh!
Zoroark landed with a loud bang, the powerful impact sending the purple-haired man flying.

As the high-speed dive and powerful slam attack ended, Zoroark's body was still shimmering with a pale golden Z-Move aura, lingering around his flowing purple hair, giving him a look that was both sinister and domineering.

"Solo."

This scene stunned the female Zoroark, whose cheeks gradually flushed red.

Although this guy likes to call other people "Mom" as soon as he sees them.

But someone so handsome, it's not entirely unacceptable that he might have strange fetishes! (End of Chapter)
