He knows Pokémon better than me.

Soon, the sandstorm completely dissipated, and the surroundings became much quieter.

Many members of the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce boldly looked towards the battlefield, only to see that the previously ferocious Garchomp had now turned into a solid ice sculpture.

He was motionless, as if he had completely lost consciousness.

"We really defeated this boss Garchomp?!"

"What kind of Pokémon is this?!"

"When did our Ginkgo Merchant Guild acquire such a figure? Dominating the Xicui region wouldn't be a problem for us then!"

One of the Ginkgo Merchants even had a bold and wicked idea.

But I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I vaguely saw that the person named "Guo Gang" had whiter skin.
Especially during Ash's physical battle against Lucario, his face seemed to be constantly changing.

"What an amazing Pokémon! Could humans really create something like this?"

Yinren, on the other hand, focused more attention on Magiana. At this moment, with her blackened and worn-out paint, she looked exactly like a battle-worn maid, exuding a powerful aura.

"Well done! It seems you can already use the power of the Soul Heart in its initial stages!"

Xiao Zhi gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Any of Magiana's moves, when amplified by the power of the Soul Heart, can be significantly enhanced.

However, it can only be added to regular moves at the moment, and cannot be used on the exclusive ultimate move, Flower Cannon.

Once I can use it proficiently in the future, I'll unleash a Soulheart Flower Cannon!
It's estimated that even Rayquaza could be blasted down from mid-air with a single shot!

"Chirp~"

Magearna put away her fighting spirit and instantly transformed into a gentle and affectionate rabbit maid, even staggering a few steps before deliberately falling into Ash's arms.

An ordinary person would probably have been crushed by Maya's weight.

It wasn't a big problem for Ash, and he casually hugged Magearna with one arm, which made the latter's affection level rise again, and she kept rubbing against him!

"Next up is this Garchomp."

Ash held the shy Magearna in one arm while examining the Garchomp ice sculpture.

It gives off the vibe of a nouveau riche man embracing a beautiful woman while admiring his art collection.

Inside the ice sculpture, Garchomp was completely frozen and unable to break free, but its consciousness remained intact.

Even after being stimulated by the aurora, the red light in its eyes disappeared, revealing a pair of shark eyes with thick eyebrows and large eyes.

"If I were to be subdued by a human like this, it might not be so unacceptable?"

The jade-washing people I've encountered before were pitifully weak; none of them could withstand a single dragon's swoop attack from it.

The boss in the ice, Garchomp, had even given up struggling. As long as it's a High Ball, it won't break free.

Of course, if it's just a regular, low-quality Poké Ball, it will still break free; that would be completely unworthy of its pseudo-legendary status!
However, the next moment, Ash, with Magearna in his arms, suddenly turned around and waved to the group from the Ginkgo Merchant Guild:

"Everyone, let's continue on our way!"

Garchomp: "?"

Seeing that Ash turned and left without any hesitation or lingering thought, the leader of the earth dragons became a little anxious.

Wait a minute, it's the most powerful pseudo-legendary in the Xicui region!

No need for a high-level ball. A super ball will do.

If I grit my teeth, even the lowest-end Poké Ball isn't unacceptable!
However, Ash didn't stop there. He admitted that this Garchomp was indeed powerful, and Magearna was able to suppress and even defeat it so easily largely because of its type immunity. Magearna's most powerful Dragon-type moves were completely ineffective.

But Garchomp already has a shark to choose from.

There's another one in the backyard!

Ash's catching style is unlike Gary's or Shinji's, who like to catch several of the same species. He only needs to catch one.

Of course, cows are an exception.

As for this Garchomp, it can stay here and continue being a bully.

"Are you really not going to subdue them?"

The people from the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce next to him, including Yin Ren, all looked at Xiao Zhi with surprise.

A rare and powerful quasi-god, how could anyone resist subduing it?!
One of the chamber of commerce members even dared to try and take advantage of the situation.

But looking at the ferocious Garchomp in the ice sculpture, he swallowed hard and abandoned the bold idea.

Even if you can subdue and bring it back
I bet the moment it's released, its head will be chewed up by Garchomp, right?
The Wooloo that was picked up earlier has a much gentler temperament than Garchomp, and given that Gintoki is strong enough, picking up a bargain is fine.
However, there's no such thing as finding a lucky one with a fierce Pokémon like Garchomp.

The Poké Balls in the Greenland region have absolutely no limiting effect.

In this era, the Rockets can really throw the ball at Pokémon that have already been caught by others!
"Stop looking, it's none of your business. You've all rested enough, let's get going!"

Yinren coughed to remind everyone, and they then put away their burning greed and packed their bags to set off.

Left standing there, only a Garchomp ice sculpture, questioning the meaning of life, remained.
At this point, Ash had defeated the boss Pokémon on the Pure White Tundra route.

"Yeah, every Pokémon has gotten a lot stronger."

Ash was very satisfied with this; the strength of the Galar team had visibly increased significantly since the Sinnoh Seaside Festival!

Before long, the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce convoy finally emerged from the pure white tundra and officially stepped into the Obsidian Plains.

"Whoo~"

Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. At least it wasn't all white all over anymore. The soft lawn, green leaves, trees, and grass made his steps much easier.

Of course, he also didn't intend to let go of the boss Pokémon in Obsidian Plains; these were all excellent experience packs!
It's a pity that the boss Pokémon here have all been wiped out by Team Galactic's survey team.

Ash pulled out his Rotom phone, which contained real-time information on the distribution of Team Galactic leaders that he had obtained from Dawn.

A map, almost entirely covered in red crosses!

For example, the closest one, Boss Flame Horse, was tamed long ago. However, now that Spirit Horse can be used normally, Flame Horse is somewhat redundant.

"Hmm, I'll give it to Professor Oak when I get back."

He should be very interested in the differences between the Green Pokémon and modern Pokémon.

There's also a boss, Heraklos, nearby. I saw it was there before, but I don't know who killed it recently.

Only Alakazam and Infernape, the bosses in the southwest corner of the map, remain; all others have been marked with a red cross.

"pity."

Ash pursed his lips, suppressing his urge to engage in fierce battles along the way.

As for ordinary Pokémon, the wild Pokémon in Obsidian Plains are too low-level to provide any training effect.

Left with no other choice, he could only follow the convoy towards Zhuqing Village. (End of Chapter)
