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

"You shouldn't have come back..."

"But I'm back now."

……

Amidst the frosty cold, two figures, one old and one young, sat upright in the hot spring, staring intently at each other.

In the end, it was one of the younger Yan Emperors who couldn't hold on any longer.

"Senior, why do we always talk like this every time we meet?"

Young Entei couldn't speak human language, so Ash's old Entei used a Pokémon cry, and it spoke with righteous indignation.

"Oh dear, that's because you young people don't understand. This is how a master talks!"

But the young Yan Emperor still felt something was off, so the old Yan Emperor waved his paw and changed the subject.

"Is Lord Ho-Oh alright?"

"His majesty remains unchanged, but recently Lord Phoenix seems to have become obsessed with traveling around and no longer stays in Tianqing Mountain."

"So much so that it's not easy to contact it." The young Yan Emperor used his supernatural powers to bring out a bunch of fruit and ate them with relish. A few fruits were also placed next to the old Yan Emperor.

Old Emperor Yan took a few bites and found the taste quite good.

"So, you're the new Phoenix King's bodyguard now, right? It's been so many years since I've seen you, you've really made something of yourself."

"That's all thanks to the care I received from my seniors back then."

"However, Lord Ho-Oh is nowhere to be seen these days, so our term as guards can be said to be the most relaxed one yet."

"As long as I patrol my own area of ​​authority every day, I can have the free time to come and soak in the hot springs every day."

As he spoke, the young Emperor Yan lazily shifted his position in the hot spring, his hairy face bubbling with enjoyment.

The hot springs here are connected to the earth's core magma, which greatly benefited Emperor Yan's body. The young Emperor Yan loved this place to death.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Senior, you stayed in the unknown space for so long, and you didn't come back even when Lord Phoenix asked you to."

"Now that you're finally back, why have you been following a human all this time?"

At this point, the old Yan Emperor's expression immediately turned serious.

"Of course there's a reason for that; this human boy, Satoshi, is no ordinary person."

That inhuman power made the old Entei cower in fear the moment he encountered Ash.

Moreover, Ash's strength continues to grow steadily, leaving it completely unaware of Ash's limits and constantly questioning whether he is even human.

But the old Yan Emperor's sudden change to a serious face only made the young Yan Emperor more curious.

"What makes it so special?"

Humans, what makes them any different? The young Yan Emperor suddenly remembered that recently there had been a stubborn young man in the forest who kept searching for his tracks.

It's driving me crazy. All I want to do is come here occasionally to relax, take a break, and soak in the hot springs. Why is it so difficult?

When the time comes, the young Emperor Yan must find an opportunity to give this young man a hard time and drive him away.

At that moment, Emperor Yan drew the shape of a feather on the ground beside the hot spring.

"That's one of the reasons."

But the young Emperor Yan was a little confused.

"Senior, do you want to scratch your itch?"

"No way! We're all pretending to be experts now, can't you be a little more reliable!"

"Didn't I just ask you about Ho-Oh? This is clearly a rainbow feather!" Even the old Flame Emperor drew it so vividly.

"Oh! That young man is the new Rainbow Warrior." The young Flame Emperor finally realized.

"Where is Namasado? I haven't seen it."

When the old Yan Emperor talks about Ma Xiaduo, the junior student who calls out "Mama" all the time, he can't help but laugh.

"You know Marshadow's personality. My trainer forcibly captured it back then, and it's still locked up somewhere."

"Ah, that's Marshall!"

Although Marshado, as the guide, had a particularly wicked personality compared to his cowardly and weak kin, the young Flame Emperor still recognized his strength.

The fact that Ash was forcibly captured by the Rainbow Warrior before the trial even began instantly increased the young Entei's admiration for him.

Actually, after catching Marshadow, Ash would occasionally let it out to try and improve their relationship.

They hoped to become trustworthy partners, but every time Marshadow appeared, he would attack Ash directly and refuse to communicate at all.

It kept trying to escape, which made Xiaozhi never want to let it out again, so he kept it locked up.

After all, the little thing is exceptionally good at hiding, and every time it's let out, it causes chaos. It has to be given a good beating, and even Ash can't stand it.

Marshall is very stubborn, and after many battles with Satoshi, the two have developed a love-hate relationship.

Now it's a matter of who can outlast whom, Ash or Marshadow. However, given Entei's understanding of Marshadow, Marshadow will definitely be the one to compromise in the end.

The two Flame Emperors wanted to continue catching up, but unexpectedly, Ash's voice calling for the old Flame Emperor suddenly came.

Left with no other choice, Emperor Yan had to get up and leave.

Xiaoxia and Caidou were already resting on the beach chairs that Xiaozhi had brought out, their smooth skin now flushed red.

They had been soaking in the hot spring for too long, and Octopus Warrior and Blastoise were helping to spray water to cool them down.

It was all because she was so focused on taking care of the shiny sea voles that she forgot the time. Little Rainbow Bean's chin was so tired that she could only hum softly.

However, Xiao Zhi was not seriously injured. At this moment, he felt as if his entire brain had been purified.

He no longer has worldly desires; he is now in a state of sainthood, ready to fight thieves!

Of course, it can only last until night at most, which is the terror of the physical monster.

Ash called for Entei to return mainly because after training Shiny Grubbin, he suddenly discovered that the hot springs here seemed to be exceptionally helpful.

It's incredibly effective at relieving fatigue and alleviating injuries!

Then Ash remembered what he had heard from Tetsuya: the rumor that Entei liked to soak in the hot springs here.

I immediately wanted to bring Emperor Yan back so he could have a proper workout with a balance of work and rest.

Normally, due to the frail physical condition of the old Entei, Ash is unable to give it a proper workout.

Just then, Ash's Entei finally returned.

"Hey, you're all soaked! Did you go to a hot spring? Why did you go so far away?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan quickly shook off all the water droplets from his body, just like a kitten shaking off water.

"I just casually found a spot a little far away to soak in the water. What's up with calling me all of a sudden?"

"No, no..." Ash smiled and rubbed his palms together as he walked toward Entei.

"I just suddenly remembered that you've been saying your back hurts and you need to rest lately, so I haven't had a chance to give you a proper workout..."

"This is a great place, absolutely fantastic!"

Seeing Ash's malicious look, Entei immediately understood what he was going to do.

That usual shameful and uncomfortable wave power washing over my body is definitely coming again.

"Ah, wait a minute, what are you doing... No... Stop it!" Old Emperor Yan resisted desperately, even more fiercely than usual.

The main problem is that its offspring are still in the vicinity!

If, during the process, I lose control again and let out that shameful, agonizing scream that makes me want to die...

Then, his life as a respected senior is probably coming to an end.

Unfortunately, from the moment Emperor Yan arrived here, it was already destined that it could not escape.

He was seized by the physical supreme being's tangible hand and instantly refined!

Then a loud melody echoed through the hot springs…

"Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho... oh ho ho ho...!!"

"Ok?"

The young Emperor Yan, who was enjoying the hot spring in the cave, was startled by the sudden sound.

But after listening carefully to that familiar, shameful, and unsettling call, it suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.

"S-senpai...so that's why you've always stayed by the side of humans!"

No way!!!

[Ding! Emperor Yan: Favorability +5; Intimacy +5]

Chapter 314 Little Gray's Goal

The workout lasted for nearly two hours, and Xiao Zhi got hooked on it, not expecting the hot springs here to be so effective.

Since just now, Ash has been using Aura to cleanse Entei's body, then throwing it into the hot spring to recover, then pulling it out to cleanse its body again, and then throwing it into the hot spring to recover.

During this time, Emperor Yan's silvery cry, which was not old at all and even somewhat clear and melodious, echoed continuously through the forest.

Ash's prolonged exposure to Entei's body finally led to a qualitative change from a quantitative one.

The body of Emperor Yan was no longer as withered and weak as when they first met; instead, it was full of vitality.

Its muscles gradually became fuller, and its fur became increasingly vibrant, in no way inferior to the young Yan Emperor who had previously bathed in the hot springs with the old Yan Emperor.

Of course, the main reason is that the old Entei has a good foundation; it is an extremely strong Pokémon in itself.

It's only because I've been in the unknown totem space for over a hundred years, a place with no water, no food, and no air, and because I'm getting old, that I'm as weak as before.

With the blessing of Ho-Oh's Rainbow Feather, Ash used the Aura power carrying a vibrant life force to transform and cleanse Entei, while Celebi and Mewtwo were also there to protect him.

With so many powerful beings serving one Pokémon, how could its fortune be small?

It can be said that it has fully unleashed the potential that Emperor Yan himself possessed.

Putting aside everything else, the current Emperor Yan is absolutely capable of completing a full-scale six-on-six battle.

Although his strength has been restored, Emperor Yan does not seem to be very happy.
