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

It seems that Pikachu also expended a considerable amount of energy dealing with Gyarados's powerful rampage in the water.

"But now I'm in crisis, so I'm counting on you, Hakron!"

Xiaochun eventually sent out Hakron, its carefully cultivated new ace.

Although it has only recently evolved, its strength should not be underestimated.

"Battles against a formidable opponent like Ash will definitely allow Dragonair to make significant progress."

"Hack!"

"You should come back and rest too, Pikachu."

Seeing that Xiaochun had released Dragonair, Xiaozhi also temporarily recalled Pikachu.

Since this is a gym battleground, the gym leader can't be as flexible in arranging his tactics due to the rules, but Ash, as the challenger, definitely has to make use of his advantages.

Ash is a man who highly respects battles, and he wouldn't show any chivalry just because his opponent is a beautiful woman.

"Go, Sylveon!"

You have to win in Pokémon battles with a smile, and to defeat a Dragon, you need a Fairy.

A cute, pink Pokémon with ribbon-like tentacles on its side has made a long-awaited appearance on the battlefield.

"Bu-ee, bu~"

"It's Sylveon... Damn it, I hate fairy Pokémon the most!"

There are already enough strong and cool Dragon-type Pokémon in this world, so why is there a Fairy-type Pokémon that is so effective against Dragon-type Pokémon?

Xiaochun couldn't understand it.

"Sylveon, use Hyper Voice!"

Ash's Sylveon happens to have the Fairy skin trait.

Pokémon with this ability can imbue Normal-type moves with Fairy-type attributes when using them.

While enjoying the power boost from its own type, the skill also receives a slight further power increase.

So when Ash got the TM for a loud voice from the Genzo Gym, he immediately gave it to Sylveon.

We also usually let it suck on a mint leaf to train its singing voice.

Ash's Sylveon is now a Pokémon that really knows how to bark. (Excited!)

"Move at high speed to get out of the way, Hakron!"

Sylveon's vocal energy instantly materialized into rings that formed light waves and attacked Dragonite's location.

Meanwhile, Hakkar's slender body darted and tumbled through the air and water like a nimble eel, narrowly dodging Eevee's deafening attack.

"Hmm, it's been trained very well. Sylveon, use Mega Sound again to chase after Dragonair and attack it! Don't let it get away!"

Just when Dragonair thought it had dodged the attack and was catching its breath, Sylveon's Fairy-type Hyper Voice came again.

Sylveon was able to withstand the enormous reaction force from the loud noise while gently adjusting its little head.

To achieve the effect of adjusting the attack position, a giant wave of sound on the field chased after the figure of the Dragon.

"This Sylveon must have trained incredibly hard; it's not easy," Kabu thought to himself, feeling a chill for Tsubaki and Hakuryu.

This challenger is exceptionally strong, a rare sight indeed.

Now even if Dragonair hides in the water, it's no use, and Sylveon's barking is not only loud but also prolonged, chasing after it to kill it.

"Damn it, Hakron used a slam!"

Since Dragon-type moves are ineffective against Sylveon, Tsubaki had to have Dragonair use a regular Slam attack.

Unfortunately, although Dragonair is slightly faster than Sylveon, when its tail swung at Sylveon...

Hakkar was immediately bound by Sylveon's two silky tentacles, which had been prepared beforehand.

This is the reaction speed it developed when it helped Ash tie up the mischievous Black.

Sylveon is not only good at barking, but also at binding people; it's truly an amazing Pokémon!

And so, Hakkar was firmly bound to Sylveon's side.

"Now! Sylveon, use Hyper Voice right next to Dragonair's ear!"

"Bu-i~!"

"Hakron, break free!"

Despite the continued struggle of Dragonair, Sylveon's slightly hoarse voice immediately roared out again.

The voice, infused with fairy power, instantly pierced Hakron's eardrums.

It immediately went limp, firmly held to a floating board by the force of the cry, until it lost consciousness.

"Hakuron, unable to fight!" Kabu sighed.

"It's no good if it doesn't evolve into Dragonite."

It's really difficult for Dragonair to deal with Sylveon, which is a Dragon-type Pokémon, before it has grown to the point where it can be used as an ace.

[Ding! Xiaochun: Affection +1]

"Ah, Ash is really strong..."

"But... damn it, I actually lost!" Xiaochun grabbed her cloak and stomped her feet a few times in frustration.

"Unbelievable! There must be some mistake! Ash, you can be proud of yourself, you beat me!"

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the new main quest "Rising Dragon Badge!": Defeat the Blacksmith Gym Leader, Tsubaki!]

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

"Miss, it's not good to be childish now."

Seeing that Xiaochun was not moving for a long time, Kabu had to remind her from a distance.

"I know!"

Finally, Tsubaki came to Ash and handed him the badge with her delicate hand.

"Congratulations, Ash, here is your Rising Dragon Badge."

[Ding! Rising Dragon Badge: Pokémon's Dragon-type moves will increase in power by 5% after acquiring this badge!]

Ash happily accepted the black dragon-shaped badge, finally completing his collection of badges needed to participate in the Johto League.

But with Xiaochun wearing such a tight-fitting outfit, where exactly did she put the badge?

It still feels slightly warm to the touch, and it smells a little sweet.

Ash quickly suppressed his impulsive thoughts and put the badge away.

At this moment, Xiaoxia and Kabu finally circled around from the other half of this large battlefield.

Xiaoxia waved and clapped with Ash happily, her smile even brighter than Ash's.

Meanwhile, Kabu had to go and bring over some desserts to comfort his young lady.

Xiaochun usually dominates the Mokko Gym, but now she's encountered a formidable opponent like Xiaozhi.

It reminded her of the terror of being dominated by her older brother, Watari, when she was a child.

But Tsubaki is a very strong and beautiful girl, and she quickly adjusted herself.

"Kabu, prepare for the Dragon's Cave trial immediately! I need to become stronger!"

"Haha, there's no need to be in such a hurry, Miss Chun." He clapped his hands, and a large group of maids immediately filed out.

He quickly cleaned up the previously chaotic battlefield and even set up tables and chairs for everyone.

Kabu also brought out some delicious snacks for Tsubaki, and also brought one for Ash and the others.

"Your Pokémon and Mr. Ash's Pokémon have just gone through a fierce battle. Let them rest for a while."

Kabu has already prepared a lot of surprises for Tsubaki in the Dragon Cave. Tsubaki and Ash will be overjoyed.

Chapter 306 Dragonite is very worried about you guys.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "The Dragon's Trial!": Please overcome the Dragon's Trial with your strong willpower!]

【奖励：联盟币+6000；攻击+5；速度+5；自由属性点+5；随机宝可梦超级进化石+1】

"This mission sounds a bit strange."

What does strong willpower mean?

Ash and his friends had arrived at the Dragon Cave where they were taking their trials.

Only one Dragon-type Pokémon can be brought into the trial. Tsubaki chose Dragonair, while Ash naturally chose Garchomp.

Ash had always heard that the Dragon Cave and Sanctuary of the Dragon Clan were the most suitable places for Dragon Pokémon and trainers to train in the Johto region and even the entire Pokémon world.

Moreover, as long as the trial is passed, the strength of the participating dragon Pokémon will experience a qualitative leap.

Therefore, Ash really wanted to try and see if this trial could help his Garchomp evolve.

The Garchomp, which had just been released from its Poké Ball, immediately lit up with hearts upon seeing Dragonair.

It eagerly ran to Dragonair to fawn over him, completely forgetting about biting Ash's head.

Unfortunately, Ash held onto its back firmly, so it could only spin around in place.

"Alright, you'll have plenty of opportunities to get up close and personal with me during the fight later."

In short, you are not allowed to harass respectable women like Long now!

Dragonair simply tilted its head in confusion at Garchomp, having been bewildered when they first met.

So I have absolutely no recollection of Garchomp, I only remember Ash's Dragonite.

Garchomp, what a disaster!

"Kabu, is everything ready?"

"Of course, Miss, you and Mr. Xiaozhi can go in anytime now."

At this moment, Kabu handed the two alarms to Ash and Tsubaki.
