He knows Pokémon better than me.

Today felt exceptionally long!

As dusk fell, Xiao Zhi turned back down the mountain, letting out a leisurely sigh on the way.

Doronchi floated above his head, already completely familiar with his new body, and moved nimbly through the air.

However, with its evolved size, it can no longer perch on Ash's shoulder or crawl inside his coat.

To Ash's surprise, the "extra" little Dragapult on his head could be separated.

Hey!
It landed lightly on my shoulder like cotton, its head bowed and lying down, just like the little dragon from before.

"Uh, so does this mean I've become a father unexpectedly?"

Ash chuckled dryly and casually scratched Dragapult's chin.

"Doron?"

Doronchi scratched its head, unsure of its own relationship with it.

It's definitely not more about parents; it's more about taking care of younger siblings.

"However, since they can separate, it means they should also be able to fight together with Little Dragon, right?"

Xiao Zhi suddenly stopped and exclaimed in surprise.

Draco's signature move, Dragon Arrow!
While it doesn't fire two shots like the final evolution, it's still a pretty useful surprise attack move!

However, seeing the lazy little dragon on his shoulder that had just been "born," he wasn't in a hurry to practice the Dragon Arrow move.

In the second stage of Drauraki, most of the moves that Draurbat can learn can actually be attempted to be mastered.

"Doron~!!"

Doronchi swam nimbly in the air, letting out high-pitched roars as it practiced the movements of the Dragon Dance.

Previously, I was always at the bottom of the team and could only participate in the lowest-level battles.

Now that it has evolved, it is capable of competing in even the highest-level World Championships!

"Wow, that's pretty good enthusiasm!"

Ash tilted his head and smiled; the pressure of being at the bottom was now on Shellder's side.

This kind of Pokémon is special after all. Even if it is lagging behind now, it will be a completely different situation when it completes its final evolution.

Moreover, this is an ancient species of armored dragon!

No one knows what the Bloodwing Wyvern, with its evil and dragon attributes, will eventually look like.

As night fell, Ash returned to Battlegrounds.

I happened to meet up with Magua, who had just finished her live stream, and we went out for dinner together.

"Hehe~ How was your day? Did you see any wild snow moths, or ice geese?"

Magua grinned, hooking his arm around his shoulder, and said with a hint of smugness:

"However, the wild Pokémon in that snowy mountain are probably not as rare as the Galar Articuno I've ever seen!"

"Oh right, my Draco has evolved."

Xiao Zhi's lips twitched, looking somewhat strained, so he could only forcefully change the subject.

"Wow! This is a rare pseudo-god! It's really cool!"

Maga's attention was immediately drawn to the Dragapult that Ash had released again, and it gathered around it in surprise and admiration.

I should have asked that Galar Articuno for an extra feather this afternoon.

As a result of the rest of his life, Magua will never see Articuno again in his neighborhood.

For the next few days, Ash didn't see Mr. Mime, and Articuno's feather was still not delivered.

This guy practically lives at the aquarium; he's entered workaholic mode, spending every day helping with the renovations and refurbishments.

After all, once the rectification is complete, the loss of those gimmicky, attention-grabbing projects will inevitably lead to a decrease in popularity. Therefore, the sooner the rectification is completed and the sooner the business reopens, the more profit can be generated.

Ash is also very busy. He runs to the back mountain of the town as soon as it's light, treating it as his own private training ground.

Pokémon like Cinderace and Dragapult weren't content with training alone; they even started pairing up and engaging in internal battles later on.

Melmetta and the bear-wearing monster, both powerful types, naturally took an eye on each other from the start.

"lucky--!!"

In the absolute center of the icy pool, he clenched his fist and unleashed a powerful, black-and-red punch.

"Meta—!!"

The other arm transformed into liquid and extended, its steel fist meeting the attack without hesitation.

Clang!
Iron Fist - Steel Fist Double Strike clashed with One-Hit Strike - Dark Nether Strike, the air at the point of impact trembled, and the surface of the icy pool shook violently.

Even if it's just a friendly match, it's still quite entertaining.

Ash then looked at the other Pokémon—

Flame Ace took the initiative to approach Martial Arts Bear Master, after all, the two had a good relationship because they worked together as bricklayers to rebuild the watchtower.

"Heroic shout!!"

"cowry!!"

The two Pokémon let out a low growl and charged at each other, but neither used their most powerful moves.

Master Xiong's fists were covered in frost as he unleashed a rapid and continuous barrage of punches, unleashing the Combo Style: Frozen Fist, a dazzling display of fist shadows.

The same Flame Ace, who also strode forward, flipped his body upside down, raising his feet like a stunner, his body also covered in thick, solid ice, as he spun around and unleashed freezing kicks.

Triple Spin!
I've been training in this icy, snowy environment for the past few days, and every now and then I take out the "Triple Spin Strike" technique I got from Armor Island to review it.

Furthermore, it is supplemented by the enlightening effect of mastering the seeds.

The three-in-one combination allowed Cinderace to successfully master moves outside of the race's skill list!
The combo attack technique involves delivering three punches that hit a vital point, while the triple spin attack involves kicking three times, with the damage doubling with each kick. The two Pokémon's moves are quite well-suited to each other.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
In the blink of an eye, the fist and the kick collided three times, exploding into a pile of ice shards!

Ash looked up at the sky again.

I originally thought Corviknight would target Farfetch'd, since both are bird-type Pokémon.

"Doron—!!"

However, in mid-air, the newly evolved Dragapult confronted Corviknight and let out a defiant roar.

It was the Corviknight that approached it on its own initiative.

Aerial combat is undoubtedly the area it needs to hone next, and the stage for the two has been moved to the sky, more than ten meters above the ground.

Dorgonki was the first to move, his entire body enveloped in a deep blue energy cloak, transforming into a giant dragon as it swooped down and charged forward.
Dragon's Dive!

On the other side, the armored raven's feathers were tinged with a silvery-black sheen, and it spun its body at high speed, charging forward like a diamond drill.

Clang! Bang!

In the air, the intense and ear-piercing friction sounds continued, and while their respective masters (the eldest brother) were colliding with all their might, a feather on the back of the Corviknight popped out and transformed into a sharp blade bird to attack Doronki's throat.

"Messi!"

However, the little Doronmesia on Doronki's head was no pushover either, and it headbutted the Bladebird away.

These two look very similar.

Ash looked up and couldn't help but sigh.

These are all Pokémon that bring their own minions when they fight! (End of Chapter)
