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

It charged forward with lightning speed, knocking Garchomp away from the battlefield.

"Is Garchomp alright?" Ash immediately turned around, but Garchomp had already collapsed to the ground with its head tilted to the side.

The previous battle with Magneton had already taken a toll on Garchomp's stamina, and now, after being hit by Steelix's Suicide Charge, Garchomp finally couldn't hold on any longer.

"Garuda, unable to battle!"

"You did very well, now come back and rest, Garchomp."

Ash was fairly satisfied with Garchomp's performance, considering it hadn't been in battle for so long and was still able to take down one of the opponent's Pokémon.

However, the self-sacrificing charge is a powerful skill, and while attacking the opponent, the user will also suffer considerable back damage.

However, after Ami's Steelix knocked Garchomp away, it showed no signs of pain.

"It seems that the Steelix on the other side has the Rock Head ability." Ash thought for a while and then sent out the Pokémon he had already decided on.

"I'm counting on you now, go, Typhoon!"

Rubbing its sleepy eyes, Typhlosion immediately switched to battle mode upon its appearance, unleashing a fierce burst of flames.

"Ash's Typhlosion's flame looks pretty good." Brock quickly took out his notebook and started making notes on the Typhlosion.

"Back when it was still a Cyndaquil, it often couldn't ignite its flames because it lacked the fighting spirit, and therefore couldn't use Fire-type moves."

"But it's become much more reliable since it evolved." Xiaoxia still remembers that Ash's Typhlosion was quite talented in using Fire-type moves.

However, even after evolving, it hasn't had a proper performance in official competitions yet.

"Oh, is that so?" Xiao Gang exclaimed in amazement. It turned out that there were times when Fire-type Pokémon couldn't use Fire-type moves.

The world is truly amazing. "But right now, Ash's Typhlosion and Steelix are mutually super effective against each other."

"In addition to its Steel type, Steelix also has a Ground type. Since the two types are mutually effective, it comes down to who can attack faster."

But Ash isn't afraid of this at all; he wants that kind of intense confrontation.

"Steel Snake, let's give that little boy on the other side another passionate kiss."

"Double-edged hammer!"

It's another powerful Rock-type skill that reflects damage. With a tough head, skills like this are just easy to use.

Ash, of course, wouldn't back down: "Typhon, use Flamethrower!"

Go all out against the opponent. Skills like fire breath, which have lower power as your stamina decreases, are best used at the very beginning of the game.

The incredibly powerful Steelix swung its massive head and slammed it towards Typhlosion.

The Firestorm Beast immediately unleashed a powerful flame in the direction from which it had attacked. The two were evenly matched and it was difficult to determine the winner for the time being.

No one's skills could advance any further, when suddenly Ami deftly waved her hand.

"Steel Cobra, tie it tight!"

After all, Ami's Steelix is ​​her signature Pokémon, so it must have some unique moves.

Even while confronting a Firestorm Beast, its long tail can quickly circle around behind the Firestorm Beast and tie its body up.

He was firmly bound, his fire-breathing ability was interrupted, and Steelix's Twin Headbutt immediately followed.

It slammed heavily onto the Firestorm Beast, causing tons of damage.

"Xiao Zhi, this is bad." Xiao Gang immediately tensed up.

"It's not over yet." Ash wasn't flustered at all. "Typhlightbond, get angry!"

Back when Typhlosion was still Cyndaquil, it was the kind of creature that only got excited after being hit.

The sensitivity threshold isn't high enough to trigger the flame attack. (Flame jet)

Being bound like this actually excited the Firestorm Beast, causing the flames on its back to burn rapidly and emit bursts of explosive heat.

It burned the Steel Serpent terribly.

"Right now, Typhlosion, grab Steelix and use Purgatory!"

"Steel Snake, shake it off quickly!"

But the Firestorm Beast isn't someone you can just casually admire; it's not someone you can easily summon and dismiss at will.

It immediately grabbed Steelix's tail and wouldn't let go, and the flames burned fiercely once again.

The flames of purgatory instantly began to spread along the body of the giant steel snake, burning fiercely.

This move was extremely powerful, and Typhlosion's fire talent was fully displayed at this moment. Steelix writhed in pain in the flames.

I barely survived the skill, but immediately fell into a burning state due to the Purgatory effect.

The flames on its body exploded again, and Steelix finally collapsed straight down in the flames.

"Steel Snake, unable to battle!"

Ash's Typhlosion won beautifully this time.

"Well done, Inferno Beast!"

But as soon as the battle ended, the Firestorm Beast's flames went out immediately, and it began to yawn sleepily again.

"Seriously." Ash sighed and put it back into its Poké Ball. After all, it had tried its best in the battle.

Just then, Ami walked over and said, "That was a great battle. Here, Ash, this is your Steel Badge."

She handed a plain, octagonal, iron-gray badge to Ash.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the new main quest "Steel Badge!": Defeat Asagi Gym Leader Ami]

【获得奖励：联盟币+5000；体力属性+2；攻击+2；自由属性点+3；技能铁头+1】

[Steel Badge: When you possess this badge, the power of Steel-type moves increases by 5%]

Now, Ash has finally officially obtained his sixth badge in the Johto League.

"There are only two gyms left!"

As Ash's journey through the Johto League draws to a close, he's already looking forward to the final two gyms.

Ash and his friends dragged Brock, who was trying to bother Ami again, out of the Gym and left the Asagi Gym.

"Goodbye, Miss Ami~" Xiao Gang said sadly, tears streaming down his face.

"Let's go! If we stay any longer, Ami's feelings for you will turn negative. Men who are persistent and clingy are the least attractive." Xiaozhi grabbed his hair and pulled him outside.

Xiao Gang only needs to make good use of his strengths: gentleness, domestic skills, and extensive knowledge of Pokémon.

Some girls have opportunities, but they always seem to have a relapse.

When Xiaogang confessed his feelings to her again, Ami could barely contain her emotions.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Gang suddenly stood up and put his hand on Xiao Zhi's shoulder with a serious expression.

"Ash, as someone who's been there all along, I have to tell you, even a mature woman's disgusted face can be a rare delicacy!"

Do you even know how to appreciate things?

"I really want to see Miss Ami's disgusted face too!!!" Brock shook Ash's shoulder, heartbroken for what he had missed.

"This person is beyond saving."

"Pikachu~"

————High-speed movement————

"Speaking of which, Xiaogang, where are you headed next?"

After leaving Asahi City, Brock and Ash's group happened to be heading in the same direction, so they decided to continue traveling together for a while.

After taking out the map, Xiao Gang gestured on it for a while.

"It's probably about walking a bit further in the direction of Kaji Town, where the next gym is located."

Xiao Gang is now quite well-known in the breeding industry.

He unexpectedly received an invitation from a very important person, asking Xiao Gang to go to his mansion to take care of his beloved Nine-Tailed Fox.

This was a rare opportunity, and Xiao Gang certainly couldn't miss it; he had to go and take a look no matter what.

"For a client to live in such a luxury home is definitely a rare and huge order!"

Although Brock was previously the Gym Leader of Pewter City, he shouldn't be short of money.

But who can blame him when he has more than a dozen younger siblings to support? Even the largest fortune can't withstand such a division.

Moreover, when Xiaogang took over the family business, his terrible parents had already squandered all the family's money and left him nothing.

They usually lived a very frugal life, and it was even more difficult for Xiaogang, as the eldest brother, who took the initiative to leave home and work hard on his own.

Therefore, he treats every order with utmost care.

Upon receiving the address photo from the invitation, Xiao Zhi was surprised to discover that the mansion was actually a rare example of a classical Chinese palace.

Most of the classic mansions in the Pokémon world are Japanese in style.

"This is truly a rare find."

At this moment, Xiaoxia also came over to join in the spectating.

"That looks amazing! Xiaogang, you've finally succeeded!"

"No, not really, I'm just a little famous." Xiao Gang scratched his head sheepishly.

He may not be that famous yet, but being invited by such an important figure might just be the beginning of his legend.

"According to the address on the letter, we just need to pass through Thunder Town and walk a little further to reach this mansion."

"Thunder Town?" Ash realized then that the town's name was actually from a fast-paced video streaming platform.

"I wonder if there's a Kuaibo Town nearby?"

"Excuse me, can I pass?"

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded behind Ash and his friends.

A Growlithe with a leash around its neck sped past, pulling a trainer wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt on a skateboard.

With his powerful dynamic vision, Ash immediately recognized the person's identity.

"Xiao Mao?"
