He knows Pokémon better than me.

As night fell, Ash and Naruto walked along the country lanes of Deer Town.

The streetlights were on one by one, casting a soft glow. In the distance was the coastline, and the wind carried a faint salty scent.

At the edge of the field, two sentry mice stood upright, poking their heads out of the grass, looking around warily and curiously. Hearing a noise, they quickly scurried back into the grass.

"Picc~"

At this moment, Victini, leaving a trail of orange afterimages, carried Pikachu as it flew around, occasionally darting into the nearby fields and letting out bursts of laughter.

Seeing this, Ash smiled. It seemed that Victini was really enjoying traveling with them.

The two of them had toured most of the town, and he couldn't help but compare them:
"This place actually looks a lot like Pallet Town, doesn't it?"

There was no industrial pollution common in the Unova region, and the air was so sweet.

However, the roads in Luzi Town are neat, the streetlights stretch out in a continuous line, and there are quite a few high-rise buildings. Its urbanization scale is much stronger than that of Zhenxin Town.

There is also a Luzi Wharf built on the east side near the sea, with many ships coming and going, making transportation very convenient.

Mingyi turned her head to look at him, her tone natural:
Have you booked your ship ticket?

"Hmm, the ferry ticket for tomorrow morning~"

Ash nodded. This time, he didn't plan to fly to Fuyuki City first, but instead took a boat directly from Deer Town back to the Galar region.

"Oh"

Mingyi responded, her voice a little softer.

She looked down at the path beneath her feet, and her pace slowed involuntarily.

A sea breeze blew, causing the grass blades to sway, and the atmosphere became somewhat quiet.

I wish I could stay a few more days!
Mingyi suddenly looked up, forced a smile, and asked as if it were a casual remark:
"By the way, I heard you fought against Emperor Xiu in the backyard this afternoon?"

Xiao Zhi nodded, casually resting his hand on the back of his head, and said with a smile:

"That Xiu Di guy has improved a lot too~"

However, compared to Alice, her progress seems quite ordinary.

The latter seems to be heading to the Kalos region soon, in search of its own Mega Evolution opportunity.
Seriously, does nobody go to the Alola region to look for Z-Move opportunities?!

Mingyi blinked, then suddenly paused.

In the afternoon, Ash went to the backyard to help feed the Pokémon and returned with the food cart after an hour.

Is there really time in an hour to have Pokémon battles, and even 6v6 battles at that?
"hehe."

She couldn't help but chuckle dryly, able to imagine the scene of Xiu Di's dark face being instantly killed at the speed of light.

"Oh, right, this is for you."

Just before parting ways, Ash suddenly remembered something.

He took out a cloth bag containing more than fifty master seeds, enough to last a long time.

"This is a Master Seed from the Greenery specialty, which allows Pokémon to master the 'Powerful' and 'Swift' fighting styles. It should be a good fit for your Greenery Samurai."

"Oh! This is the one you were talking about before."

Mingyi's eyes lit up. She took the bag from Xiaozhi and carefully opened it to check.

Xiao Zhi waved his hand casually:

"Just use it as you like, don't be stingy. I'll send you a new one when you run out."

Now that all the seeds can be grown, they are no longer a unique product of Xicui and are no longer a complete consumable.

Moreover, with Shamy's remote guidance, Dr. Yamanashi has also made significant breakthroughs—

It's estimated that in another year or two, the Sinnoh region will be able to mass-produce Master Seeds. So, Mei put away the bag and smiled softly:
"Thank you so much, Ash! You're welcome then~"

The two of them weren't in a hurry to go back.

We walked slowly along the path outside Luzi Town for several more rounds, chatting about our recent experiences, with bursts of laughter occasionally breaking the silence.

The shadows under the streetlights stretched and shortened, as the sea breeze blew gently.

Victini had already landed back on Ash's head, and Pikachu was dozing off on his shoulder.

Mingyi sighed softly and had no choice but to interrupt:

"Well, it's about time we headed back."

Xiao Zhi nodded, and the two of them returned to the research institute.

In the nearby field grass, the two sentry mice remained upright, keeping watch without moving, their red-ringed eyes fixed on them.

It seems to be saying that ** is prohibited here.

The next day, early morning.

The open space in front of the Yew Research Institute was slightly cool, with a hint of sea breeze in the air.

The two woke up early in the morning. Xiao Zhi glanced at the time, and without further delay, quickly explained the key points of practicing "power" and "speed"—

He planned to teach Mingyi these two battle mechanics before he left.

"First, let your Pokémon eat a Mastery Seed, then observe other Pokémon using Mastery moves."

This is the fastest step; under normal circumstances, you can understand it with just 1-2 pills.

However, if one does not observe others and practices alone, there is no limit to the number of seeds one can master.

Ash has released his Urshifu and is ready.

Mingyi nodded. Just as the Greatsword Demon swallowed the mastery seed, the Martial Arts Bear Master also moved almost simultaneously.

"Swift Water Jet!"

The martial arts master was enveloped in water, accompanied by a black ink-wash style special effect, and suddenly shot out as a sharp water arrow!

The system improved dramatically, jumping directly from +1 to a level comparable to the speed boost!

"That's amazing!"

Mingyi and the Great Sword Demon both showed the same expression, dumbfounded, as it was the first time they had ever seen such a fast jet of water.

Xiao Zhi quickly reminded him:
"Don't be surprised, look closely!"

The Greatsword Demon understood and quickly composed himself, focusing his gaze intently as the Martial Arts Bear Master continuously used Swift Water Jet.

After consuming one Mastery Seed, the Greatsword closed its eyes and pondered for a while before nodding to Ash.

Then he released other Pokémon and used several of their mastered moves.

Swift Air Blade, Swift Assault, and Fierce Water Stream Crack are all moves that Naruto, the Greatsword Demon, already possesses.

Clang!
The powerful, forceful water-flow cleaving strike not only left deep slash marks on the ground, but also caused the surrounding ground to crack and explode, demonstrating terrifying power!
Mingyi and the Greatsword Demon were engrossed in watching, and their Mastery Seeds were constantly being depleted.
"Huh? So fast?"

During the process, Xiao Zhi was secretly amazed.

I originally thought that the time was short, and I would only be able to teach him one trick at most.
As a result, the Greatsword Demon mastered all the moves he had copied!
Moreover, each move only costs one Mastery Seed, making it easy to handle both swift and powerful styles.

Samurai is a well-rounded Pokémon, with similar strength and speed.

Is it because of the way the jadeite looks?

Ash couldn't help but speculate: So, Naruto's Claymore is a perfect fit for this battle system, making it easy for him to learn without any obstacles, and even becoming increasingly smoother? (End of Chapter)
