He knows Pokémon better than me.

Two days later.

A circular support was erected at the top of the watchtower, and Flame Ace juggled the ball repeatedly in the open space, looking for an angle to shoot.

"."

Lucario stood by with his arms crossed, watching coldly.

The next second, Flame Ace's pupils contracted, and he forcefully launched the Aura Missile from the tip of his foot.

call out--!
The pale blue energy blast shot into the sky, but instead of passing through the ring, it flew past quickly to the side.

"Beeh!"

However, Flame Ace was not discouraged; instead, he smiled.

However, the wave missile that was supposed to "hit the air" actually drew an exaggerated arc in the air, circled around, and then turned back, precisely passing through the circular hole from behind.

A precise shot!

Cinderace looked at Lucario with delight, who nodded in satisfaction.

They have basically mastered the essence of the wave missile tracking lock.

Aside from being significantly less powerful, they are otherwise virtually identical.

There's no way around it; after all, its wave missiles contain surging waveguide power, something that outsiders can't cultivate or improve upon.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the manor, the Gillfish Dragon no longer needed to carry the Poison Orb.

"Gills—!!"

Opening its primitive jaws, the energy venom even formed highly toxic bubbles that floated between its teeth before it bit down on Melometa's kidney.

Its powerful bite force seemed to flatten and pierce through the latter's body.

Fortunately, the target was Melmetal, which is immune to poison. If it were any other Pokémon, its sharp teeth, enhanced by its strong forehead, would have embedded themselves into flesh and blood, and it would have been 100% poisoned!

"You've already broken through your limits and mastered the Venomous Fang technique so quickly...?"

Xiao Zhi walked over, looking surprised and amazed.

The Mr. Mime next to it is the same; normally, the Light Wall can only block attacks coming from the front, but it can't block attacks like Psychic, which can grab from a distance.

Now, however, it can shrink the light wall, covering its body surface like clothing, achieving comprehensive and seamless defense.

Butterfly's weakened mental strength couldn't restrain it, and it easily broke free.

Ash scanned the surroundings again, and Corviknight had now perfectly mastered its two blades, which darted and spun around it like two little birds.

Onion Soldiers wielded their two-meter-long onion spears with the agility of short swords, making them appear effortless.

Doronchi's body flickers with ghostly shadows, sometimes darting into other dimensions, and when he reappears, he wields his dragon claws, displaying a fighting style that is both unpredictable and domineering!
Martial Arts Master Xiong can switch freely and flexibly between the Combo Style: Lightning Fist and Freezing Fist, with frost and electricity bursting from his fists, making his movements more than twice as fast!
Even Marshall, who usually hides in the shadows, revealed his true form at this moment, punching and kicking continuously in an open space, practicing the fighting moves he had just learned.

—These guys seem to have had a collective epiphany, and their progress has been phenomenal in the last two days!
Of course, all of this is thanks to
Bictini!

"Piccoo~!"

Victini is now leaning back comfortably against the canopy of a Gigantamax tree, this is now its exclusive resting place.

"What an incredible ability!" Ash couldn't help but exclaim. Victini's "Victory Power" not only temporarily boosts a Pokémon's stats but also has the effect of unlocking new insights and understanding new concepts.

The originally difficult and slow-paced training of techniques only progressed slightly faster, even with the enhancement of the Seed of Mastery.
But with the addition of the power of victory, the progress of cultivation will be a qualitative leap!
Moreover, the effects vary from person to person.

For example, characters like Blazing Ace and Martial Arts Bear Master, who are extremely self-disciplined and have a strong fighting spirit to become stronger, will have their training speed boosted by the power of victory!
During this period, these two Pokémon, along with Shellder, have made the fastest progress!

Onion Knight and Mr. Mime are next; although they also yearn to become stronger, they haven't reached that exaggerated level.

The training speed-up effect for Gillfish Dragon and Melmetta is average.

Of course, the least effective one is the bear-wearing one, as this guy acts on instinct and doesn't experience much emotional fluctuation.

However, even with the weakest speed boost, this guy's strength is still terrifying.

Nobody dares to mess with them!

Ash waved to Victini in the tree, a feeling of emotion welling up inside him:
"Is this the unique power of mythical beasts? It's incredible!"

He originally planned to summon veteran Pokémon to help him, starting from the Advanced Ball level and continuing into the Master Ball level main tournament.

After all, the next opponents will be top players from various leagues, or other hidden masters or even regional champions, each one more formidable than the last.

The Galar team has only been established for less than a year, so it will be difficult for them to completely defeat these opponents on their own.

After all, not every Pokémon is as gifted as Greninja, who can go head-to-head with the League Champion in less than a year of training.

but.
Things are different now!

Ash's eyes were fixed intently on Victini in the treetop.

With Victini here, it's like this place has a built-in transmitter that accelerates cultivation, allowing everyone to enjoy this bug-level cultivation state!
The speed boost is much stronger than Pokémon Virus and Master Seed!

"Bringing this guy along was definitely the right decision!"

Ash was overjoyed; at least at the Advanced Ball level, he shouldn't need to call on his veterans for help for the time being.

However, Victini doesn't provide training acceleration 24/7.

Victini can only gain "Will to Victory" when his Pokémon accumulate a certain amount of fatigue and his heart rate reaches a sufficient level, requiring willpower to continue training.

Then, it is returned to them in the form of "power of victory", thereby accelerating their cultivation.

This is a situation where both parties benefit.

Therefore, Flame Ace and Martial Arts Bear Master have a greater advantage.

This includes the Armored Dragon, which is currently extremely eager to become stronger and evolve as quickly as possible.

The little AI clearly sensed that the Armored Dragon's level was changing rapidly every day.

Pseudo-legendary beings evolve slowly to begin with, let alone ancient pseudo-legendary beings—

He had initially worried that the Armored Dragon might not evolve by the end of the Galar journey, or might only evolve at the very end.
To truly showcase the formidable power and combat prowess of the "Ancient Salamence," we may have to wait until the next region.

But now that Victini has boosted its speed, evolution shouldn't be far off!
Seeing this, Xiao Zhi curled the corners of his mouth and made up his mind:
"In that case, let's arrange a live-fire training exercise for you."

Then he took out his phone and called someone from his contacts! (End of Chapter)
