He knows Pokémon better than me.

Tornado clouds are not the kind of thing that can be easily tricked and then collapse immediately.

Both Bei Shang and Nan Xia below breathed a sigh of relief.

If the "Ultimate Train" clears the gate on its maiden voyage, and the final gatekeepers are the Twin Cloud Gods, then they probably won't be able to sleep well tonight.

"Tsk, what a pity."

"So close!"

"cowry"

On the contrary, Ash, Frostbite, and even Cinderace all looked gloomy and let out a long sigh.

With the power of the bond broken and the taut string snapped, Flame Ace collapsed onto the carriage, panting heavily.

Undoubtedly, it exceeded its performance by 200% in this battle.

Thanks to its flexible Freedom ability, it can even overpower legendary Pokémon, demonstrating the power of this ability!

"Defeat a legendary Pokémon within the time limit? That's definitely a high challenge!"

Ash shook his head, shrugged and spread his hands towards the Fighting Beast below, and smiled helplessly.

If there were no time limit, and the game continued, Flame Ace, who had an exceptional performance today, would definitely win. But this is a time-limited match.

"Hey, if only my Black Neil could last two more rounds."

Douzi's face was also full of regret.

Admittedly, her Flame Warrior King training is excellent, but the "Sacrifice" trait is a double-edged sword, and she should be more cautious in using it in the future.

When the train arrived at the station, not only the passengers on the train, but also the platform in Jinlun Town was crowded with people, who were discussing it heatedly.

"What a pity, just a little short."

"Is this the level of intensity in the Metro battle?!"

"It was the right decision not to go to work today!"

"Bro, I've already quit my job. From now on, I plan to watch Metro Online intensively."

The news that the battle against the subway had reached the final level and that two Cloud Gods had appeared had already spread far and wide. In fact, the battle was being broadcast live on the big screen on the platform.

That's absolutely amazing!

On the train, Ash released Magearna to fire a shot at Cinderace.
Then it fired a shot at each of Douzi's Flame King, including the Tornado Cloud and the Thunder Cloud.

—The four Pokémon recovered considerably in their condition immediately.

Speaking of which, tornado clouds and thunderclouds are actually neighbors.

After climbing down from the upper carriage, the four of them went to the last carriage and shook hands amicably after the race.

"What a fantastic battle!"

"Unfortunately, the challenge ultimately failed."

Bei Shang and Nan Xia spoke up one after the other, saying that the certificate of honor and the reward items after the victory were also gone.

Ash didn't care, but Douzi pouted and exclaimed what a pity.

She worked hard for almost two hours (although most of the time was spent chatting idly), but received no reward whatsoever, which was completely out of character for a businesswoman like her.

At this moment, Bei Shang and Nan Xia exchanged a glance, and both of them smiled and nodded.

The two brothers then raised their arms and said loudly:

"However, since the two are the first challengers of the 'Ultimate Train' level, there are still some consolation prizes!"

Upon hearing this, Douzi's eyes lit up. It would be a good deal to have it!

Then Nanxia stretched out her hand towards Douzi, and when she opened it, there was a small, deep red bead in her palm, with brown, yellow and red curved arcs embedded inside.

"Mega stone?!"

Ash blurted out, but this was the first time he'd ever seen a Mega Stone of this color. And the color combination...
He couldn't help but look at Yanwu Wang, who was resting against the wall of the carriage. The color of this mega stone was quite similar to that of the latter.

"Could this be the Mega Stone of King Yanwu?!"

Douzi exclaimed in surprise, as she was naturally familiar with the battle mechanics of the neighboring Carlos region.

Nanxia smiled and nodded, explaining:

"That's right~ This is a new Mega Stone discovered in Kalos. Since our Battle Subway has reopened, we contacted them to exchange some Mega Stones from Pokémon in the Unova region as a reward for challenging the Battle Subway."

The other party was very friendly, and without any exchange, they simply gave them several items, including Flame King, Dragon Head Mole, Headband Thug, and Crystal Chandelier Spirit.
—These are all Pokémon popular in the Unova region.

"Oh, so we can still get it even if we don't pass?"

Having said that, Douzi's eyes burned with fervor, and he unconsciously rubbed his palms together.

"Hehe, you are absolutely entitled to it!"

Nanxia smiled and extended her hand.

Seeing this, Douzi didn't stand on ceremony. After taking a deep breath, he solemnly took it in his hand.

"Yan Ao~?"

Beside him, Yanwu Wang seemed to sense a connection between the mega stone and himself, and immediately came closer, his copper bell-like eyes curiously examining it.

On the other side, Bei Shang also walked up to Xiao Zhi, took out his phone to show his inventory—

Currently, the only Pokémon available for the Battle Metro is the Mega Stone from Unova. For Fighting, Emboar is the obvious choice, while Ash can choose for himself.

"Uh, is there only one Flame King Mega Stone?"

Ash pursed his lips; he also wanted to choose Emboar.

"I'm sorry, Kalos only gave us one set of Unova Pokémon Mega Stones, and there were no duplicates."

Bei Shang said helplessly.

Seeing this, Ash naturally couldn't compete with Fighting. In this double battle, the latter's Emboar had also played a crucial role, so this Mega Stone was well-deserved.

"Never mind~ I'll find a new one for King Yanwu when I go to the Carlos region later~"

He was quite open-minded and didn't dwell on it anymore.

Meanwhile, in the backyard of Zhenxin Town, the second senior brother sneezed for no reason, looked around blankly, and finally wiped his nose.

"By the way, is Emboar the only Unova starter Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution?"

Ash took another closer look at the mobile phone inventory displayed by Beishang, but did not see a Mega Stone for Serperior or Mega Stone for Sagittarius, otherwise the former would also be an excellent choice.

As for the other Pokémon, he has not caught any.

After some consideration, Ash ultimately chose the Bandana Stuffed Mega Stone.

I'll give it to Marie as a souvenir when I get back to the Galar region. Her turban-like hairstyle should suit this mega gem quite well.

Although there is also the Dragon Head Grub Mega Stone that Alice needs here.
However, as the Unova Champion, the latter is about to go to Carlos's place to train, so obtaining the Excadrill Mega Stone should be a piece of cake for him.

After receiving their gifts, the four of them got off the train.

This battle, which felt like it had been going on for five days, has officially come to an end!
As soon as he stepped out of the subway station, Douzi couldn't wait to try out his newly acquired mega stone.

"Fire Roar!!"

After firing a Flower Therapy Cannon, Emboar spewed flames from its nostrils, raised its arms, and roared, indicating that it was fully capable of supporting Mega Evolution.

"Ash, Ash, can I borrow your Keystone Bracelet?"

"OK, I'd love to see it for myself!"

Ash agreed, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes; he'd never seen what Mega Emboar looked like before! (End of Chapter)
