He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Gah——!"

With a long cry, the Steel-Armored Raven flew to the side to practice controlling its second Featherblade Bird.

The Sniper Tree Owl simply fires feathered arrows rapidly during the intervals between attacks, and if it masters this move, it's as if it has three automatically tracking and attacking minions by its own!

Rounded to the nearest 3 times, this equals 3 times the amount of "Qinmao Ai" (a popular Chinese brand of

Ash then looked at the other Pokémon.

"Ace Flame, your words."

"cowry!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Flame Ace had already jumped to the side and started kicking at a thick patch of snow.

It had been unable to complete its training with the previous Three Spin Strike technique, but now that it had finally come to this environment, it wanted to give it one last try—

Since it can use ice hockey, there's no reason it can't learn the triple spin!

"They're really working hard."

Ash nodded and sighed. Triple Spin Kick can kick quickly while spinning, which is indeed quite useful in battle.

Sometimes, it can even produce a bouncing effect similar to a "spinning top".
It's definitely worth the time and effort to master it!
Then he turned to look at the other Pokémon. Sirfetch'd, Magearna, and even the veterans Butterfree and Lapras had joined the training team.

Rumble——!
Before long, the area around the icy pool became lively with occasional booming sounds.

Ash stood on the shore, supporting his back, looking at his Galar team with satisfaction.

Now, everyone should be able to showcase their skills in the advanced ball-level ranking matches.

Of course, the first half of the advanced level is basically played by league-leading players, and the difficulty increases dramatically at that point.

As for Masters level
If it were a champion like Mikkelsen or Ardek, perhaps there would still be a chance.

But if it's against Miss Chikuran, Mr. Daigo's group...
Well, this Galar team is still too weak; we need to call back other veterans to provide support.

So he then let the Pokémon train on their own, utilizing the surrounding snowy environment.

He found a stone platform, swept away the snow, and plopped down on it to start fiddling with his Rotom phone.

Check out the latest news and send and receive greetings from friends all over the world.
"I wonder where my opponents in the promotion tournament will come from?"

Xiao Zhi grinned, his face showing a hint of anticipation.

Ideally, they should be from the Carlos region!

His Carlos friend told him that the area is bustling with activity lately, and it's a completely different place from the "Carlos region" he had visited before.

When the time comes, I can also take a look around there!
He stayed in the snow mountain for almost two hours. Fortunately, he was wearing the coat that Mr. Mime had prepared for him, so he didn't feel any discomfort.

“Wu He!!”

Just then, a loud roar from the martial arts master Urshifu suddenly came from above, and Ash subconsciously looked up.

But then they saw that Martial Arts Master Xiong had already climbed the ice waterfall, which was more than 20 meters high. It seemed that he was practicing the "waterfall climbing" technique quite smoothly.

However, standing at the top of the waterfall, Martial Arts Master Xiong waved his arm in the distance, seemingly not to show off like Melmeta, but to express something.

"What's wrong?"

Ash walked up in confusion, and all the Pokémon around him stopped what they were doing and crowded around below.

"Wu He!"

Upstream from the Icefall, Martial Arts Master Xiong gave a low shout of warning, then tossed down a rather large, dark blue "iron lump."

"Holy crap?! It's a Corviknight's Dracovish! Quick, use Whirlpool!"

Ash was startled and quickly gave instructions. Dracovish understood and immediately spewed out a water tornado, dissipating most of the force of Corviknight's fall.

"lucky--!"

Then, the bear-wearing man caught it steadily and placed it on the ground.

Ash quickly went over and saw that Corviknight's eyes were darting around, clearly indicating that it had lost its ability to battle.

Strange, it was fine just now. Could it have been injured by the attack of that Blizzard King?
Moreover, at this moment, the Steel Raven's body was stiff. Although there were no ice shards visible between its feathers, it gave the impression that its body was frozen solid.
"Strange. Never mind, Lapras, use the Life Drop! Magiana, use Flower Therapy!"

Ash quickly looked to his side.

The two Pokémon on the left and right used healing moves together, and water droplets and beautiful petals fell down, causing Corviknight to emit a rich green light.

Although his stamina recovered quickly, his body seemed to remain "frozen" and he was unable to move for a long time.

"Gah."

After a long while, the Steelraven reopened its eyes, its claws and wings spread out, and it let out a low hoot.

"What happened?"

Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and then asked.

Did you encounter any experts up there?
Speaking of this area, isn't the strongest one that Snow King?
"Gah."

Corviknight had a confused expression on its face, and even though Ash had the power of bonds, he didn't understand what it was trying to say.

Ash could only temporarily recall Corviknight and look at Urshifu above the icefall.

"Hail! Hail!!"

Master Xiong, the martial arts master, seemed unusually excited, shouting repeatedly.

Ash recognizes this expression; it's the look of someone who has encountered a strong opponent.

"As expected, there are some powerful Pokémon up there!"

His interest was immediately piqued; it could defeat Corviknight and even "freeze" the creature, which had extremely strong physical defense, into this state.

interesting!
Ash left some of his Pokémon here to continue training, took a few Pokémon with him, and then went to Besturn.

"Please, wear a bear costume!"

"lucky--!!"

Wearing a bear-like garment, the bear remained expressionless but seemed to understand. After letting out a long howl, it suddenly picked up Ash and tucked him under its arm.

Squat down and stomp on the ground, unleashing power.

Bang! !

With its powerful kick, the ground was shattered and craters were created. The next second, the bear-wearing creature shot up like a rocket, soaring over twenty meters into the icefall.

Then, it landed steadily beside Martial Arts Master Xiong.

"."

Master Xiong frowned, his mind still replaying the classic rant:
That's the legendary Pokémon!
But that's not the point. After landing, Ash quickly looked around.

The mountaintop is already visible above the icefall; it is indeed bare, with only a few scattered cedar trees and some rugged rocks, all covered with a thick layer of snow.

And next to one of the cedar trees, you can see...
Three Articulated Birds?!

Xiao Zhi rubbed his eyes hard, wondering if he was sure he hadn't seen wrong.
At this moment, three purple "Articuno" birds are circling and flying, with long, smooth, dark purple tail feathers and light purple wings that are bent and folded in front of their bodies. The three Articuno birds have the same appearance and movements.

It looked like some kind of sacrificial dance, strangely eerie! (End of Chapter)
