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

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the new side quest "Go and light up all the teleportation anchors! (Jokyo Chapter)": Please light up the teleportation coordinates in the important cities of the Johto Alliance! (5/9)]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +8000; Speed ​​+2; Free Attribute Points +4]

"There are four cities left, which is exactly one anchor point in each of the four major cities where the badges are located," Ash calculated for the rest of the journey.

Once everything is completed, you will receive another fragment of the Miradon Battle Ticket.

As for the Kanto region, which is their main base, Ash had already set up anchor points in various bases that the group had purchased in advance when he returned to Pallet Town.

As for the most important cities, Goldenrod City and Celadon City, Ash simply placed their anchor points directly within their respective gyms.

It's so touching that he can easily go to Sabrina and Rika to have in-depth exchanges on Pokémon battle experience, while also making outstanding contributions to the future population development of the Kanto region.

Ash has also already obtained the rewards from the teleportation anchor mission in the Kanto region.

Once the Johto region is completed, Ash will have collected three of the four fragments and will soon be able to summon Shenron.

"What kind of Pokémon is Milton?" Ash wondered, full of curiosity and anticipation.

----snowstorm----

After everyone returned to the Pokémon Center, Misty excitedly took out the map in the restaurant again.

"Speaking of Xia, after we finish challenging the gym, which city are we going to next?"

At that moment, Ash also looked over.

"There are many routes, but the shortest one is to go to Azure City first, then go through the Whirlpool Islands, and finally reach Asagi City."

"Azure City, huh? That's a really nice place to go." Xiao Gang also carried his tray to the table in the hall.

"It is a famous seaside city, and the gym owner is known as A-Si for using Fighting-type Pokémon."

"And I heard that the finals of the International Iron Rhino Racing Competition will be held there soon."

"International Iron Rhino Racing Competition." Ash looked completely bewildered.

However, Xiaoxia knew it very well.

"You don't know that? It's a very popular sport that has always been popular."

"Watching a wild Pokémon like Rhyhorn rampage across the field, feeling the speed and excitement, and frantically smashing all sorts of obstacles is a rare visual treat!"

It is very stress-relieving, so it is very popular. Xiaoxia often watches it all night when she is under a lot of pressure.

"I usually only watch Pokémon battle recordings on TV."

However, this sport sounds pretty good to Ash.

"Especially since this year's finals are packed with top competitors from all over the country, even the famous Iron Rhino rider Sachi will be there."

Moreover, this route will take you through the Whirl Islands, which are home to many Water-type Pokémon, something Misty is really looking forward to.

"It looks like it'll be a lot of fun," Xiao Zhi said, showing some interest.

It seems like Rainbow Bean is in Azure City too, so I can go find Little Gray Hair to battle again later.

"Let's go there next!"

Chapter 257 Super Newcomer Three

This was the morning of the second day after Ash and his friends left Ecruteak City and set off for Celadon City.

After a full day of travel yesterday, they have officially left the area of ​​Enoki City and arrived at a continuous mountain range on their only route.

Currently, only Ash, Misty, and their Pokémon are here.

Because Brock had to take a detour to attend a breeder's conference, he had to part ways with Ash and the others halfway through.

Xiao Zhi was quite sad to see someone with such excellent cooking skills suddenly disappear from his cooking team.

After all, Xiaoxia's cooking skills were really hard to praise; it was already a miracle that she could even swallow it.

They even had an argument because of this.

However, to Xiaozhi's surprise, although Xiaoxia's cooking skills were not good, her eloquence was getting better and better.

With his little mouth opening and closing and his tongue flying up and down, Xiao Zhi was completely unable to refute him.

After enduring Misty's kisses for half an hour, Little Ash finally gave in.

After the argument, Xiao Zhi, true to his word, decided to take over all the meals from now on.

"Is this what it feels like for the Great Demon King to be defeated by the hero he personally trained...?" To be honest, it feels kind of satisfying.

Anyway, Ash did most of the cooking before, so he was already used to it.

Even Ash's chef level has unknowingly reached level six through daily practice and improvement.

With just a little more effort and some flashing effects, Ash's cooking seems capable of making people's clothes explode.

Unfortunately, Ash has no interest in becoming the Medicine King; right now, he just wants to cross this snow mountain and reach Azure City as quickly as possible.

"Xiao Zhi, although the altitude here is very high, the scenery is really beautiful."

The surrounding area was covered in white snow, and the light snowflakes falling gently from the sky gave the place a very beautiful and idyllic feel.

If it weren't for the fact that it shouldn't be snowing in summer, Ash would probably be enjoying the snow with Misty.

"The weather here seems a bit strange." Ash tugged at his clothes, even though he was wearing short sleeves in Ecruteak City.

"Moreover, the surrounding area is deserted and there are no wild Pokémon."

Unlike Misty, who focused on the scenery around them, Ash's eyes never stopped searching for wild Pokémon.

Unfortunately, not a single one was found.

"This can't go on, who's going to fill the gap in my battle skills?" Ash gritted his teeth and took off his shirt.

Today, he will personally accompany his Pokémon in a fierce battle.

Xiaoxia caught the clothes thrown at her and looked helplessly at the excited Xiaozhi.

"Sigh~ Ash, shouldn't you be holding your girlfriend's hand and taking a walk in the snow together at a time like this?"

"Xiaoxia, we were just doing something like that, so let's get our bodies aroused with a battle first!"

Although he can't transform into Ultraman, Ash also hates the cold.

They immediately released the Pokémon they were going to train that day and began a heated battle.

"That was hardly a stroll!"

Xiaoxia wanted a romantic snow walk where there were no foreign objects inside her body, her feet could touch the ground normally, her chin wouldn't ache, and her jaw wouldn't hurt.

Unfortunately, as Ash and his Pokémon drifted further and further away, Misty could only follow.

"Seriously, I'm never going to take care of you again!"

————Brave Birds Attack————

"Hahaha, the Night Hawk is attacking with an air blade!"

"Coo! Coo!"

In the sky, Xiao Zhi's entire body was enveloped in crystal, and the crystal gem on his head was different from the ordinary ugly light bulb.

Instead, it extends along his hair backward, forming a shape like Super Saiyan 3's hairstyle, with flickering electric currents appearing and disappearing on it.

The air blades launched by Noctowl with its powerful flapping of its wings seemed to have no effect on Ash, not even producing a spark.

This is the Super True Rookie 3 that Ash finally achieved after a long period of training, combining with the Crystallization!

Thinking back on his training journey, Ash felt that it had really been tough, as he had even trained the Crystallization ability to its highest level.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your ability has been upgraded from LV3 to LV4. (When using a skill of the same type as Crystallization, its power is increased by 1.5 times. Crystallization will not be deactivated until your HP is depleted!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your ability has been upgraded from LV4 to LVmax. (When using a skill of the same attribute as Crystallization, its power is doubled. Crystallization will not be deactivated until your HP is depleted!)]

[Congratulations, host, on achieving the achievement "You are the new Turtlefish?": Maximize the level of the Crystallization ability]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +4000; Defense +2; Special Defense +2; Free Attribute Points +3; Skill: Crystal Burst]

Although Ash seems to have heard that Crystallization is an ability that can only be used in specific regions.

Once you leave those locations, even if you have a Crystal Orb, which is essential for Pokémon to Crystallize, you will no longer be able to use Crystallize.

However, Ash doesn't have this problem; he can crystallize anytime, anywhere if he wants.

He has now mastered the use of Taijing transformation to perfection, and can change Taijing attributes as freely as breathing during battle.

Look at Kakarot, he can only change his hair color when he becomes a Super Saiyan God, while Ash in Super Saiyan 3 can change and flash his hair color at will, like the colorful lights in a karaoke booth.

The newcomers are far superior to the Saiyans!

However, if he gets carried away in battle, Ash will still feel the pinch when he sees the cost of his Crystal type afterward.

After all, it costs 50 to change attributes once, but it's no big deal. Xiao Zhi has money now. Although these expenses seem scary, they are just a drop in the ocean compared to his total assets.

All that money was earned for this moment.

Compared to the thrill of battle, everything else is secondary; it's just that Ash's miserly mentality, ingrained from his past poverty, remains unchanged.

Ash, now in Super Rookie 3, exudes a powerful aura as he laughs wildly while maneuvering through the air with Noctowl.

On the ground, Pikachu, Chikorita, Crocodile, and Rockruff were constantly launching attacks to harass Ash in the sky.

Taking advantage of Ash turning his head to deal with the ground attack, the Noctowl in the sky seized the opportunity to use Hypnosis, but Ash easily detected it and dodged it.

"No, Night Hawk, your hypnotic release was too slow, you missed a good opportunity, and the accuracy was too low."

As Ash's Pokémon, a master of hypnosis, how could his hypnosis fail?

No one understands hypnosis better than him. We need to make the Night Hawk train hard to improve the success rate of his hypnosis.

Meanwhile, the four little creatures on the ground unleashed their various skills in an instant, but Ash easily dodged them all by dodging and weaving in the air.

Then, with a backhand blast of Electric Crystal, he knocked the five Pokémon off their feet.

That's what makes a true newbie so amazing!

Soon Ash landed from the sky with Noctowl, and the training session came to a temporary end.

As soon as he landed, Chikorita immediately flew over and snuggled into Ash's arms.

"Chirp, chirp~"
