Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

Although its strength was far inferior to his own, its technique was extremely exquisite, which Ash found fascinating.

At this moment, Bea seized the opportunity to launch another attack, her fists raining down on Ash.

But Ash easily blocked all of them with one hand, showing complete ease, and even had time to adjust the angle of Bea's bandana.

"In terms of speed and power, Ayaka, you are really excellent."

"But that's not enough to defeat me!" Ash keenly sensed the opening in Bea's attack and unleashed a powerful punch in an instant.

"What!?" Cai Dou quickly withdrew her hands and crossed them in front of her chest to defend herself.

But Ash's punch made Bea feel as if a Gyarados was charging towards her.

She was knocked back dozens of meters by a single punch, her body slamming heavily into the tree trunk behind her.

The intense pain in her arm kept Cai Dou from getting up for a long time.

However, the tree did not break, and Ash stopped.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest "Who Has the Strongest Body!": Defeat Aya in a direct physical duel!]

"That's enough for now, you lost, Bea." Ash slowly walked up to Bea.

He reached out and pulled the little gray fur up, then handed her a bottle of healing potion.

Thank you for your guidance.

She bowed respectfully, but her hand holding the medicine bottle was clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned pale.

The defeat was very disheartening for the proud Cai Dou.

But faced with such a large gap in strength, Cai Dou also understands that she needs to become stronger.

However, after the battle, Ayaka did not leave.

Instead, she stayed behind to continue observing Ash training Misty and Chigusa, her eyes fixed intently on Ash the entire time.

It was as if they wanted to see through him completely, from top to bottom, in order to understand the secret behind Ash's immense power.

While watching, she got thirsty and drank some of the potion that Ash gave her. To her surprise, she found that her hands suddenly stopped hurting.

He quickly shook his hand, and the injury seemed to heal instantly.

"This is really useful."

————Re-tread————

That evening, back at the dojo, the competitive Ayaka immediately began training even harder than usual.

Recalling her failure this morning, Cai Dou trained until late into the night.

The following day, Bea kept a close eye on Ash, secretly following him wherever he went.

Then she realized that Ash's training was actually quite rigorous.

Every morning, Ash would get up very early and, together with his Pokémon, carry a giant rock and hop around the back mountain.

Even while training Chigusa and Misty, Ash didn't forget to train himself in his spare time.

Throughout the entire day, Xiao Zhi trained almost non-stop.

"Wow, that's amazing. Is this the secret to his strength...?"

[Ding! Rainbow Bean: Affection +10]

Little Grey seems to have been led astray a bit. Ash is only able to train like this, back-to-back, thanks to his superhuman physique.

If an ordinary person were to engage in such intense training, their body would have been ruined by the excessive exercise long ago.

Of course, Ash knew that Bea was following him, as Gray's hiding skills were really not that great.

However, she looked cute with her evasive manner, so Ash didn't mind and let her be.

However, even when Ash was sleeping, Bea would secretly appear after thinking he was asleep, kneel down next to his pillow and silently watch Ash for a while.

"He's like a pervert."

Because of her, Xiaozhi's plan to relax in Xiaoxia's room that night was ruined.

"You wretched little gray hair, watch out or I'll replace Xia with you!"

Of course, Ash was just venting. He knew that Bea was only observing so carefully because she was curious about the source of her power.

Moreover, Little Grey is a good girl, and Ash wouldn't use force or underhanded methods on a good girl.

On the evening of the third day, Ash brought back Chigusa and Misty, who were exhausted and looked like zombies.

Tomorrow morning, Chigusa and Shirou will once again battle to protect the gym's signboard.

These past few days, Xiaozhi has been diligently teaching Qiancao, so I believe she should be fine by then.

Suddenly, he saw Bea in the gym's courtyard, with her evolved forms Machamp, Machoke, and Strength.

There were also several Pokémon that Ash didn't recognize, which were diligently training.

He stopped and watched curiously for a while.

It has to be said that Ayaka's outfit makes her look particularly attractive while exercising.

Xiao Zhi admired it greatly.

However, his gaze seemed a little too intense, causing Bea and Might to suddenly stop exchanging punches halfway through.

Then Bea remained silent, staring intently in the direction of Ash's figure.

Realizing he had been discovered, Ash quickly coughed.

"Cai Dou, it's good to train hard, but rest is just as important."

"Otherwise, if the body accumulates excessive strain, it will actually damage one's strength."

To cover up the fact that he had been glancing around randomly, Ash quickly put on a serious face and pretended that he had just been watching Bea's training movements intently.

And he even acted like a senior, offering advice to Cai Dou.

But the little gray-haired boy remained expressionless and quickly walked up to Ash.

"Ash, please have a Pokémon battle with me."

Her tone was calm and her expression aloof, but her eyes sparkled with curiosity about Ash and a desire to battle against a strong opponent.

"You are also a powerful Pokémon Trainer, and I hope to have a Pokémon battle with you."

Ash was surprised that Bea would suddenly extend this invitation. He glanced at the Pokémon beside her, especially the ones he had never seen before.

He immediately broke into an excited smile.

"Interesting, no problem, I agree!"

Ash could never refuse the chance to battle new Pokémon.

"But we need to let Xiaoxia and Qiancao rest first."

There are two "zombie girls" next to Ash now.

"I also need to prepare the Pokémon for the battle. I think it's fine to use the ones from the gym as the battleground."

"Okay!" Seeing Ash agree, Bea's face showed a rare smile.

Turns out, Little Grey wasn't really expressionless; he actually looks quite handsome when he smiles.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Fighting Girl": Please battle against Ayaka and defeat her!]

Bea then arranged a three-on-three Pokémon battle with Ash.

Because Bea is a beautiful gray-haired girl, and Ash is the teacher of Chigusa, the beautiful teacher who is temporarily staying at the gym to train them.

Both of them are currently prominent figures at the Genzo-ryu Dojo.

So when the news of their impending battle spread, it immediately attracted a large number of apprentices to come and watch.

Ash also used the teleporter in the gym to contact Professor Oak and have his Lucario and Machamp teleport over.

Ash did this out of respect for Bea.

When fighting against a fighting girl, the best approach is to use fighting techniques in a direct clash.

They believed their Pokémon would bring surprises to each other.

Chapter 246 Super Strength vs. Super Strength

Soon, the time for Ash and Bea's agreed-upon battle arrived, and the area around the gym's battle arena was already packed with people.

Almost all the students in the dojo came to watch the excitement, especially the children.

They were all summoned by the old man, Genzo, with the excuse that "before officially becoming Pokémon Trainers, come and see how powerful Trainers battle!"

"The older brother named Ash who fought against Bea this time seems to be quite formidable."

"It seems he was the champion of the previous Kanto Alliance Tournament. He's really amazing."

"Seiya-chan, who do you think will win?"

"I think it should still be Sister Cai Dou. During her time at our dojo, she defeated several strong senior brothers in succession."

"And I also heard that she used to beat our beautiful teacher, Chigusa, to a pulp."

The little girl with curly black hair secretly pulled her friend aside and told her some shocking news that few people in the dojo knew.

"Really?" His companion asked, still somewhat skeptical.

This little girl, who has the same name as a powerful figure, is actually the weakest among her fellow disciples.

He also became infamous in the dojo for stuffing metal plates into his fighting suit and calling them his "battle armor."

However, she is exceptionally good at networking and often knows inside information that most people don't.

"Of course it's true! Why would I lie to you, Shun!"

“I heard this from my distant cousin who is a servant in the Lord’s house.”

This girl considers everyone older in the dojo as her cousin, so Shun no longer easily believes Seiya's words.
