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

Finally, the wheel on the screen started spinning, and this time it was Ash's opponent who went first.

Both sides simultaneously release their Pokémon.

"Go, Maryluri!"

"It's you I choose, Heracross."

Pure One is a relatively well-rounded trainer, so Ash didn't make any specific type-specific arrangements, simply sending out a trainer with high strength and high mobility.

"Yay! I have the advantage in attributes! Marill uses Water Gun!"

"Get out of the way, Heracross."

This Marill has a pretty good jumping ability; although Heracross dodged the first water gun attack by sliding down.

But it quickly used its tail to propel itself into the air, and the water gun struck Heracross squarely on the back from above.

"Use Iron Tail now, Marill!"

"Heracross, turn around quickly and use Split to block the attack."

Thanks to the added gravity of falling from the sky, Amarillion's Iron Tail managed to fight Heracross's Brick Break attack to a standstill.

She successfully knocked Heracross into the puddle on the ground again, and then used the elasticity of her tail to bounce and create distance once more.

"The move is powerful, it has the Strongman ability, but why not use a Fairy-type move?" Ash didn't understand why his opponent didn't use Play Rough.

But to everyone's surprise, Junichi scratched his head and answered shyly.

"Hehe, that's actually because my Mariluri doesn't know how."

Upon hearing this, Ash collapsed speechlessly. Junichi was able to make it into the League preliminaries simply because of his high-level Pokémon.

There's nothing more to say then. "Heracross, use Horn Ram!"

"Marilluri, the freezing wind!"

Heracross, who had been swaying as it stood up and shaken off the water droplets, instantly turned sharp-eyed the moment it received Ash's command.

The large horn on its head emitted a white light and instantly grew a full size. Heracross's body rushed towards Amarillie like a missile.

Although Marill unleashed her freezing winds to the extreme, those winds were completely unable to stop Heracross's charge.

Mariluri's entire round body was shoved into the ground by the insect's horn.

"That's it, Heracross uses Wild Strike once again!"

Because Azumarill is resistant to Bug and Fighting-type moves, Ash can only have Heracross use Normal-type moves to attack.

Fortunately, Heracross's attack is high enough that even non-STAB moves can cause significant damage.

Heracross's enormous insect horns swung rapidly, striking Amarillie into a deep pit like a blacksmith striking iron.

"Such speed! Ash's Heracross unleashed astonishing power! Can Azumarill, severely injured, still stand up?"

Perhaps because there were no cute little girls in this game, the commentary was much more normal.

The entire audience held their breath and watched in silence, but Mariluri in the deep pit ultimately failed to stand up.

"Marillul is unable to fight, Heracross wins this round!"

Chapter 324 The Final Tournament

"Come back, Marill, you've done your best." Junichi solemnly recalled his Pokémon.

Even he could no longer hide his nervousness with laughter, and he simply threw out the Poké Ball he had been holding.

"Now it's up to you to turn the tide, Big Chrysanthemum!"

"Junichi actually sent out Meganium, but his Pokémon were still at a disadvantage against Ash's Heracross."

"Does Junichi have some kind of secret weapon?"

Ash couldn't help but smile when he saw the strange green creature on the other side, which looked like its head had passed through the heart of a big flower.

"You're here? We've been waiting for you!"

Ash's strength as a trainer is at least half due to this giant hyacinth, which is why he specifically sent Heracross to deal with it.

"With such a significant attribute advantage, how could we possibly lose? Heracross, use Super Corner Strike!"

Heracross started with a powerful move to greet us, his wings flapping rapidly, and his horns bursting forth with intense light once more.

"Hera~Cro!"

It instantly flew towards the giant chrysanthemum, accompanied by sonic booms that the rubble on the ground was swept away.

"This is too much! My chrysanthemum absolutely cannot withstand this!"

Faced with Ash's Heracross's monstrous and powerful attacks, Junichi's usually unreliable brain finally started working at lightning speed.

Just as Heracross's attack was within reach, a glint of light suddenly flashed in Junichi's eyes.

"Now's the time, Big Chrysanthemum, jump up!"

Its seemingly bulky and massive body suddenly unleashed astonishing agility, seizing that extremely brief critical opening before Heracross's attack could arrive.

With a successful leap, the giant chrysanthemum narrowly escaped the attack.

"Mount Tai pressing down!"

Due to the momentum from his previous charge, Heracross was unable to adjust his movements and ended up being pinned down by her large anus.

"A stunning comeback! Player Chunyi, with his impeccable timing, has successfully turned the tide of the battle!"

"Well done, big chrysanthemum!" Junichi jumped up excitedly.

"Not bad." Ash couldn't help but praise, "This is probably the numerical beauty that comes with levels."

Meganium's strength is clearly more than one level above all of Junichi's other Pokémon.

Junichi always makes Daikiku the first hero in every match during his daily travels.

"But even if the attack missed, it successfully closed the distance, Heracross Needle Missile!"

Although its limbs were firmly pinned down by the giant feet of the giant chrysanthemum, the part of Heracross that launches missiles is its large horn.

It was launched almost right next to the abdomen of the giant chrysanthemum, and all five missiles hit their targets, achieving outstanding results!

Under the fierce attack, the giant chrysanthemum was forced to quickly release its grip on Heracross.

In an instant, the smoke from the missile's explosion filled the entire battlefield.

"Hang in there, big chrysanthemum!"

Fortunately, after the smoke cleared, the big chrysanthemum, despite having sustained many injuries, still gritted its teeth and stood up.

It landed lightly on the ground, trying to quickly create distance, but Heracross had already adjusted its position.

"Heracross, Aerial Ace!" Ash won't give his opponent any chance to breathe.

Hercules vanished swiftly and gracefully from his original spot, reappearing behind the giant chrysanthemum.

"Big chrysanthemum, let's grit our teeth and hold on! Use a sweet scent!"

Such a swift attack was almost impossible to dodge; Junichi couldn't bear to watch and could only hope that the giant chrysanthemum could hold on.

But unexpectedly, as Heracross approached the giant chrysanthemum, it suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance emanating from the petals.

Suddenly, his eyes filled with hearts, and he even forgot to attack.

"Hera~Cro!"

"What?! This glutton!"

Hercules was completely captivated by the sweet scent and wobbled over to the petals on the neck of the large chrysanthemum to lick them.

"Oh dear, Ash's Heracross has been bewitched by the scent of the giant daisy."

"Well done, big chrysanthemum! Now use the vine whip to tie Heracross up!" Junichi was overjoyed, not expecting the sweet scent to be so effective on Heracross.

"Use highly poison!"

Two long green vines quickly extended from beneath the petals of the large chrysanthemum, precisely controlling Heracross's hands and body.

The purple poisonous powder immediately spread from the petals along with the sweet scent.

At this moment, a purple halo appeared on Heracross's face, indicating that it had fallen into a state of poisoning.

Even at this time, it was still engrossed in sucking the nectar from the large chrysanthemum.

"Sigh, is a sweet aroma really that deceptive?"

On the sidelines, Cai Dou looked at Xiao Xia in disbelief.

Xiaoxia could only helplessly twitch the corner of her mouth.

"Normally, that wouldn't happen, but Ash's Heracross... is quite a powerful glutton."

After all, he's the kind of being who would dare to challenge the level-one god Xiao Hei and fight him for three hundred rounds just for a can of maple sap.

Ash was exasperated, thinking, "That brat!"

It's all Ash's fault for spoiling his Pokémon too much, so much so that they dared to let him down at this crucial moment in the battle.

"Heracross, wake up right now!"

"Otherwise, I swear, I'll dump all those jars of sap you hid in the tree hollow in Professor Oak's backyard!"

His fists cracked and popped as Ash's killing intent seemed to condense into several sharp knives, stabbing towards Heracross's back.

It instantly felt a chill on its neck, as if it had fallen into an ice cave, and came to its senses.

"Hera~Cro~"

It began to struggle violently, trying to break free from the large chrysanthemum's grasp.

"Hang in there, big chrysanthemum! Use your full power with the Flying Leaf Blade now!"

Hercules was incredibly strong, even with the huge advantage of having his joints pre-tied.

However, the giant chrysanthemum still couldn't control Heracross, and Heracross would soon break free of its restraints.

Fortunately, it finally managed to gather its strength and finish.

A large number of flying blades, like water gushing from a high-pressure water valve, violently erupted from the petals of the large chrysanthemum and poured onto Heracross's body.
