He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Stealing Pokémon?"

Xiao Zhi raised an eyebrow, his face showing displeasure.

He's not from the Rockets!

"Hmph, so you still won't admit it?"

"We've found out that you kidnapped our young Tengchu when you were in Mugan Town!"

Hildi and Sord both wore expressions of anger. They had originally come to check on the murals in Suchuan Town, but the exposed sword, shield, wolfhound statues needed to be covered up again.

The status of the Sword and Shield Hero must be maintained!

Unexpectedly, I saw Ash here—

They had invested a lot of money in training Tengchu, but he suddenly ran away. After investigation by various parties, it was determined that he was taken away by a World Championship participant named "Xiaozhi".

"The young Teng Cu general?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhi finally realized what was going on.

The previous trainer of the Scizor used various stat-boosting supplements and special ability pills, and subjected the trainer to high-intensity training; he was clearly someone who didn't care about money.
So, these are the two people in front of us!
He frowned and immediately spoke seriously:

"Teng Cu is a free agent and has nothing to do with you anymore!"

It can make its own Pokémon run away, and every time it's against Scorbunny... no, now it's Cinderace.

Every time I talk to Cinderace about its former trainer, the latter always shows an annoyed and disgusted expression.

The two people in front of me are probably not good people.

"Damn it! We spent a fortune carefully cultivating this! Hand it over right now!"

"That Scorbunny will be our Pokémon for life! You rude outsider, it seems we need to teach you a lesson."

Syldi and Soder immediately rebuked them, and each threw a deluxe ball.

boom!boom!
As the red light fell, a green onion soldier appeared before Sord, while an armored warrior appeared before Hildi.

They've been raised very well, and their size is about one-third larger than that of ordinary individuals, clearly indicating they've been fed a lot.

"A Pokémon that can possess both a sword and a shield?"

Ash also noticed the similarities. Sirfetch'd, needless to say, had claws as sharp as sword blades, and its arms could be folded together to form a sturdy samurai shield.

"That's right, just like the ancient heroes who saved the Galar region, wielding a sword and shield!"

"Pokémon thief and incompetent Pokémon professor, no wonder you two get along so well."

While speaking, Hilde subtly stepped on Sonia's foot, which angered the latter so much that she even rolled up her sleeves and was about to stand next to Ash.

Let's have a doubles match then.
Don't let her status as a Pokémon professor fool you; she can also participate in Pokémon battles!

When she was a child, she could even overpower the Pill Emperor!
"Wait a minute, Miss Sonia, let me handle everything."

Ash interrupted and took the initiative to go to meet her.

Then, a Poké Ball was thrown out, and a red light fell, revealing Cinderace, which had already evolved.

Perfect timing! Let's settle our past grievances once and for all!
"Huh? It actually evolved?!"

"And using such cheap Poké Balls, that's absolutely despicable!!"

Sord and Hildi recognized Flame Ace at a glance and both spoke up.

"Bee!!!"

Flame Ace naturally recognized the two people in front of him, and immediately let out a low shout, his face filled with anger.

Countless scenes of myself being overworked and exhausted during training flashed through my mind, and after training I was forced to drink bitter medicine and have plasters applied all over my body.

At that time, it was simply unable to fight back and could only try to escape.

They also had to evade the two men's search, so they could only hide in a small rural town. But now...
Cinderace turned to look at Ash, who smiled and nodded encouragingly at it.

Instantly, Flame Ace gained confidence, and when he looked at what was in front of him again, a vengeful smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, Cinderace! Come back with us right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

"By following the elite like us, you can become an elite Pokémon."

"Beep—!!"

However, Cinderace roared, interrupting their nonsense. From the moment it escaped, it had nothing to do with the two of them anymore.

Currently, it only recognizes one trainer!

"Ace Flame, show them your power now! Fireball!"

Hearing Ash's words behind him, Cinderace nodded and instantly kicked out a fireball, aiming straight for Sirfetch'd's face.

"Drink!!"

The armored warrior immediately stepped in front, bringing his arms together as shields to completely block the fireball.

"That's a very high level."

Ash mustered his spirits. If it were a Dracovish or a Bellatrix, even with a cheat code, it would probably be difficult to win.

But now it's Cinderace, and it's been honed in the Greenland region, and it's fully evolved!
Ash didn't find it difficult to take on two opponents at once!
"Hmph, how dare they underestimate us Onion Rangers, using a high-level assault!!"

Soder immediately shouted, and the Onion Soldiers darted out from behind the armored warriors, wielding Onion Spears and charging forward, their tips emitting a dangerous and sharp golden light.

"Uh, Meteor Assault it is, jump up!"

Flame Blade is quite familiar with Sirfetch'd, and easily dodges it with a leap.

"Now! Rip through the Upper Class!!"

Meanwhile, Cirdy seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack!
The armored warrior immediately gathered water in his claws and slashed out as if he were holding a water-flowing samurai sword.

However, the current Flare Ace is even faster.

"Electric ball!"

Even in mid-air, he could adjust his body shape. After quickly condensing an electric ball, Flame Ace hung upside down and kicked out.

Zzzzz boom—!
The electric ball shot out first, and the armored warrior could only hurriedly block it by dodging the water blades. However, as he shattered the electric ball with a single strike, the current also successfully spread to the armored warrior's body along with the splashing water, causing the latter's body to twitch on the spot.

"Onion Soldiers, unleash your furious attacks!"

As soon as it landed, the Onion Soldiers closed in, their Onion Spears glowing with black light as they swung them around wildly.

"bounce!"

Flame Ace's feet sprang into the air once more, like springs.

The latter's move missed, and the wide, sweeping movements also caused the Onion Soldier's move to have a long recovery time, making it difficult for him to retract his Onion Spear for a moment.

However, Flame Ace had already swooped down from the sky, its right foot enveloped in blue light, and stomped hard on Onion Soldier's back.

Bang!

With a powerful kick, the latter was instantly embedded in the ground, causing the ground to crack open and create a large crater.

Outstanding effect!

The two of them naturally knew that the Flame Ace's special ability was Freelancer.

"Has he transformed into a flying-attribute armored warrior, wielding rock blades?!"

Hildi immediately launched a highly effective attack; countless sharp rocks materialized around the armored warrior and shot out in unison! (End of Chapter)
