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

But to everyone's surprise, Ash and Misty were already waiting at the door when Uncle Liu opened the gym door.

After a slight surprise, Uncle Liu immediately reverted to his usual cold expression.

"You still came. I told you I wouldn't accept your gym challenge..."

But before Uncle Liu could finish speaking, Xiao Zhi waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Then let me show it to you."

"what?"

Just then, Ash snapped his fingers, and Pikachu came over carrying a huge block of ice and gently placed it in front of Pikachu.

When he saw what was inside the ice, Uncle Liu's eyes widened instantly, and his mouth opened uncontrollably, unable to close.

Tears welled up involuntarily from the corners of his eyes.

Frozen inside this huge block of ice is an astonishingly large, long-haired pig, with an unknown herb dangling from its mouth.

"This...this is my long-haired pig, where did you find it!"

"Inside a cave at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley in the Kaji Forest, which has been covered by a collapse."

"It took me a lot of effort to find it."

In order to protect the long-haired pigs inside, Xiaozhi was only able to safely remove the large block of ice and move it here this morning.

At this moment, Uncle Liu was already hugging the large ice block and sobbing uncontrollably. Ash quickly released Typhlosion and had it control its power to use Flamethrower to melt the ice block.

The long-haired pig inside slowly came into view.

This long-haired pig is also incredibly powerful. Even after being frozen for decades, the waveguide energy emanating from its body continues to flow continuously.

After the ice melted, the long-haired pig resumed breathing at Uncle Liu's call.

The long-haired pig immediately spotted Uncle Liu as soon as it opened its eyes.

Even though it had been decades since they last met, Uncle Liu had transformed from a spirited young man into an elderly man.

But the long-haired pig immediately recognized him and happily placed the herbs it was carrying in its mouth into his hand.

"This is medicine for treating burns!" Sima exclaimed in surprise.

"It turns out that the long-haired pig left to find medicine to treat Uncle Liu's burns, but unexpectedly, it got into an accident and was frozen in the cave for decades..."

"Long-haired pig, I'm sorry. I never thought you would abandon me. It was all my fault... Let's use sleep."

Sleep is a move that allows Pokémon to recover their stamina by falling asleep. Liubo had his Mamoswine use Sleep.

This long-haired pig also has amazing vitality. After being frozen for decades, it woke up instantly after just one nap.

His physical strength had completely recovered, and there was no sign of injury whatsoever.

The man and the pig hugged each other and cried for a long time.

After a long while, Uncle Liu finally regained his composure, stood up, and came to Xiao Zhi.

[Ding! Uncle Liu: Favorability +50]

"I'm so sorry, Xiaozhi, for saying those hurtful things to you yesterday."

"I really don't know how to repay such a great kindness."

Chapter 297 The Strongest King-Level Long-Haired Pig

The day after the long-haired pig was found, Uncle Liu, who was in winter, transformed into Uncle Liu in the warmth of spring and blooming flowers.

His once cold and serious face was now full of gentle smiles.

He was just like a kind old man next door.

This transformation surprised everyone who knew him.

Inside the dojo, Aunt Xima watched with satisfaction as Uncle Liu groomed the ivory pig.

"The old Liu is finally back! But it's so cold here. How long have you been here?"

"Almost the whole night."

"You stayed in such a cold place all night!"

“Compared to the decades the long-haired pig was frozen, this is nothing at all.” Uncle Liu continued to carefully groom the long-haired pig’s body.

For so many years, Liu Bo had suppressed his surging feelings for Pokémon in his heart, but now the knot in his heart has finally been untied.

Having misunderstood his Pokémon for so long, he now just wants to cherish the time he can spend with his Wooloo again.

Ash and his friends arrived at the gym as promised.

"Mr. Liu, please come to the dojo competition."

After bringing the Wooloo to Uncle Liu yesterday, Ash saw how he and the Wooloo looked and specifically suggested postponing the gym challenge.

"Okay, no problem." Uncle Liu's attitude towards Xiao Zhi is now even better than towards his own grandson.

He always has a big smile on his face when you see him.

The two arrived together at the Ice Field in the Kaji Gym.

The ground was a large expanse of ice, and in the very center was a circular pool of water, making it a battlefield that combined land and water combat.

The person who came to act as referee at this moment was none other than Aunt Sima.

"On the surface, I may seem like a carefree girl next door, but little did I know I'm also a league-certified senior referee!"

This time, Ash won't complain about the girl next door, but it's true that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Leaping onto the referee's platform, Sima lifted her jacket to reveal her referee uniform underneath.

"Only two Pokémon can be used in this gym battle, and only the challenger can freely switch Pokémon."

"Then let the match begin!"

"Ash, let's have a battle without regrets!" Pryce quickly slapped his Dewpie.

Even though Ash helped him a lot, he wouldn't hold back too much in the gym battle.

For a trainer of Ash's caliber to challenge a gym, the difficulty would naturally be at the highest level.

"Hmm, bring it on! I choose you, Typhoon!"

The first attack was won by Liu Bo's white sea lion, which immediately threw several huge ice spikes as its first move.

The ice spikes' trajectory viciously blocked all of the Tyrannosaurus's dodge routes.

"Firestorm Beast, turn around and ignite your fighting spirit!"

The normally lazy Typhlosion immediately curled up into a ball after hearing Ash's command.

The flames of fighting spirit on its back suddenly erupted fiercely, forming a large barrier of flames.

It melted the ice spikes launched from the other side.

"A rather interesting solution, White Sea Lion's Ice Beam!"

"Typhlosion, don't back down! Use Flamethrower!"

Liu Bo's Pokémon are all very strong opponents, and Dew Lion's attacks are extremely fast.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a chilling light flashed before the Firestorm Beast's eyes, forcing it to immediately intensify the flames on its back in retaliation.

The icy blue rays intertwined with the blazing flames, forming a thick fog across the entire battlefield.

"What a powerful young man. This is the first time I've seen a young trainer who came to challenge the gym fight so well against a serious Koyanagi."

Dispersing the thick fog in front of her, Sima, as a professional referee, instantly refocused her attention on the battlefield.

"Typhlosion, use Flamethrower again!"

"White sea lion, hide below the water's surface."

The white sea lion had been staying in the pool in the center of the enclosure, and since it could move freely in the water, it naturally sank to the bottom immediately.

The Flame Leviathan's jet of fire hit the water's surface, creating a cloud of steam and white mist, but it did not hit the white sea lion.

"Now's the time! White Sea Lion, use Aurora Beam!"

The white sea lion didn't surface; instead, it used its aurora beam attack from underwater.

This white sea lion was indeed well-trained; even underwater, its aurora beam remained incredibly accurate, striking the Firestorm Beast without fail.

The Firestorm Beast tried to dodge, but its claws were ill-suited for moving on ice, and its comical running was blasted away by the rainbow beam.

"Firestorm Beast, use Flame Wheel to move."

After using Flame Wheel, Typhlosion was finally able to move freely on the field.

However, at this moment, Dewprik is hiding in the water of the arena to create distance, so Typhlosion's attacks cannot hit it, which is extremely disadvantageous for Ash.

"Firestorm Beast, let's jump into the water too!"

"Oh dear, Ash, is this really okay? Typhlosion is a Fire-type!" Misty was shocked by Ash's actions.

But Ash believed in his Pokémon, Typhlosion, and immediately rolled to the edge of the pool, extinguished the flames on its back, jumped into the water, and quickly swam toward Dew Lion.

"You're a trainer who doesn't play by the rules, but this time you misjudged the situation."

"The white sea lion's headbutt is even more powerful in the water. The white sea lion uses its headbutt attack!"

Upon spotting Typhoon in the water, the white sea lion immediately revealed its long, sharp horns and charged towards Typhoon.

But Ash was also carefully observing the situation in the water, and finally the time was right.

"Now!" The Firestorm Beast flashed and charged toward the water.

Thanks to the fact that Typhlosion often couldn't ignite Fighting Flame during the Cyndaquil era, Ash had to put a lot of effort into training its non-Fire-type moves.

Therefore, Typhoon used Quick Attack with unparalleled skill. Just as the white sea lion's horns were about to touch its body, it immediately swam its limbs rapidly in the water.

As it rushes towards the water, it lures the white sea lion to continue attacking its position.

Finally, the Firestorm Beast leaped out of the water, as if it were riding the waves.

At this moment, the white sea lion also poked its head out.

"The opportunity is at this moment! Typhlosion's final Flamethrower!"
