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

Two Flame Punches were enough to make the opponent struggle, and their defensive skills were broken.

Two more lightning punches were quickly thrown, and Bea's super strength was immediately rendered incapable of fighting as she was caught in the crossfire.

Ash won the first match.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, the surrounding audience immediately applauded the two players on the field.

"Beauty is so good." Misty wasn't surprised at all that Ash would win.

But she didn't expect that Bea's super strength would cause Ash so much trouble during the battle.

"As expected of a genius fighting girl."

The pink-haired girl next to him, who was excitedly clapping for Ash, was the masochistic, silly, and beautiful girl.

Chigusa: Who is M?!

The second round began immediately, and Bea sent out a Pokémon that Ash knew absolutely nothing about.

"Give it your all, Octopus Martial Artist!"

This is a Pokémon that looks like a large blue octopus. It shows off its soft yet tough body and powerful tentacles as soon as it appears.

"That's really interesting."

Ash was very happy to see a new Pokémon, and he chose to put Machamp back into its Poké Ball so it could rest.

"I choose you, Lucario!"

"This is a rare opponent; let's go all out and defeat it decisively!"

"Luca!"

Since Bea can't use Dynamax in the Johto League right now, Ash won't use Mega Evolution either.

This makes the battle fairer, so he simply had Lucario launch a normal attack.

"Lucario, use Comet Punch!"

"Dodge the Octopus Warrior and use the Octopus Firmament!"

Because it was a Pokémon they had never seen before, Ash and Lucario were quite cautious at the beginning.

Choose to use the relatively safe Comet Fist to test your opponent first.

Unexpectedly, the blue octopus opposite was incredibly agile, quickly contracting inwards just as Lucario's fist was about to touch its body.

Using a move that normal Pokémon could never do, it quickly curled up into a ball and jumped away.

Come to think of it, they are mollusks after all.

"Luca!"

Because his attention was drawn to the novel sight before him, the blue octopus unexpectedly stretched out its tentacles and tightly locked Lucario's body from behind.

It's tentacles!

Unfortunately, Ash's big dog is male and can't enjoy the game; he can only suffer from being bound by the opponent's Octopus Grasp move.

"Right now, Octopus Martial Artist, use Water Stream Crack!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Lucario was tightly wrapped up by the Octopus Samurai, Bea immediately launched an attack.

From the suction cups of the Octopus Warrior's tentacles, a powerful stream of water gushed out, launching an explosive attack on Lucario's body.

The regular Lucario has an extra crispy shell, while Ash's Lucario has an all-around enhanced regular crispy shell.

Although it is much tougher than a regular Lucario, its durability is indeed not high compared to Ash's other tank-type Pokémon, Mightyena.

This attack caused Lucario considerable damage.

However, Lucario is Ash's Pokémon after all, and it has always been an extremely hardworking child.

It's not something an octopus-wielding martial artist can defeat in one or two strikes.

"Lucario, break free with all your might!"

Octopus Warrior's Octopus Bond is extremely tight, making it virtually impossible for ordinary Pokémon to break free.

But Ash's Lucario is no ordinary Pokémon; its aura surges forth, and its furry paws quickly move inward.

A powerful gust of air burst forth from his palm, swiftly striking the octopus martial artist's body and creating a huge bulge.

"Octopus Warrior!" The blue octopus was so badly beaten it was almost spitting out ink.

"Ash's Pokémon are all so strong!" Bea thought, her excitement growing stronger.

This is also the kind of battle that Ayaka herself is pursuing.

In response to her wish, Ash sent out all of his best veteran Pokémon.

After the attack, the Octopus Warrior's tentacles could no longer bind Lucario tightly and had to quickly loosen their grip.

Chapter 247 Let's go eat Ash's forbidden fruit together, Bea!

"Lucario, Aura Missile!"

"Luca!"

Lucario was still a little annoyed after being bound by the octopus's tentacles.

After all, that sticky, wet feel is really uncomfortable for a big, furry dog.

It immediately exerted all its strength, palms facing forward, and a wave missile the size of a basketball was quickly condensed and launched towards the Octopus Martial Artist.

"Oh no! Octopus Martial Artist, quickly snap out of it and use Insight!"

The Octopus Warrior, who had been retching on the ground, heard his trainer's shout and quickly stood up, revealing his sharp eyes. He immediately saw through Lucario's actions.

Then, in a bizarre octopus-like stance, it successfully blocked Lucario's Aura Sphere.

After the smoke from the explosion dissipated, the Octopus Warrior was found to have no injuries whatsoever.

"That's something. Lucario just charged in and started hitting me with his bone club."

"Octopus Martial Artist, let's continue using Insight!"

The bone club, forged using the power of aura, slammed down fiercely, but it was as if there was an invisible wall in front of the Octopus Warrior, easily blocking all of Lucario's attacks.

After a fierce fight, the scene looked exciting, but no one was injured at all.

"See Through" is essentially a Fighting-style version of "Protect," and if successfully executed, it can perfectly block any move the opponent makes.

It is prone to failure when used continuously.

But when Ash watched Octopus Warrior just now, he successfully used the "See Through" skill at least three times in a row.

"Has this blue octopus opened yet?"

However, when Ash saw the Octopus Warrior's sharp eyes, he understood that it must have undergone extremely rigorous training to achieve this level.

"In that case, let's show our opponent enough respect, Lucario, Continuous Wave Missile!"

Ash and Lucario's auras began to resonate, and a continuous stream of power surged into Lucario's body.

Blue energy spheres were unleashed in a barrage, and the long-absent Gatling missile made its return.

Under this barrage of attacks, the Octopus Samurai was finally unable to use his ability to see through to defend himself.

After twisting its tentacles to block the first few shots, it immediately became exhausted and was hit by several wave missiles in succession.

A series of explosions rang out, and after the smoke cleared, the Octopus Martial Artist finally lay down.

"Octopus Warrior is unable to fight, Ash wins!" The referee waved the flag at the right moment.

Bea wasn't surprised by the result at all; instead, she calmly returned Octopod to its Poké Ball.

"Thank you for your hard work, Octopus Martial Artist. You did a great job."

"Ash, you and your friends are really strong. It seems I still have a long way to go." I must continue to work hard.

"You're already very good, Aya."

Among Ash's peers, she is indeed one of the top performers, but unfortunately, Bea's ambitions go beyond just being a top performer.

She quickly deployed her last Pokémon.

"Let's have a fight without regrets, please, Hawkman!"

This is also a Pokémon that Ash hasn't seen much of before.

It has colorful feathers and a blue-green mask-like pattern on its face, resembling a wrestler.

"It looks more like a Flying-type Pokémon than a Fighting-type."

Ash was very excited about the new Pokémon.

"Well done, Lucario, come back and rest!" He also sent out the last Pokémon that he had arranged beforehand.

"I've chosen you, Martial Arts Master Bear!"

He really meant it, saying he wouldn't hold back and immediately sent out a legendary Pokémon, giving Little Grey a lot of face.

And Xiong Da made his entrance in an extremely flamboyant manner, quickly performing a set of punches before immediately striking a pose of standing on one leg like a golden rooster and spreading his wings like a white crane.

It seems to really like this pose, making Ash a little regretful that he taught it these things.

"It's so cringeworthy, and a little embarrassing."

However, Martial Arts Master Xiong thought he looked really cool! "Roar~"

The children around were immediately drawn to the martial arts master's cool moves.

It's definitely something that kids of this age would like.

"Ushio, Ash, have you been to the Isle of Lisbon?" Bea seemed to know a lot about Ushio.

Upon seeing the large bear appear, her expression suddenly turned to surprise.

It was quite a coincidence that Ash hadn't released Urshifu when Bea arrived.

So this was the first time Bea met Ash's martial arts master, Kuma.

"No, I haven't been there. I met the bear apprentice by chance in the forest."

This is true; it really happened in the forest, and it appeared quite by chance. Ash had no idea.
