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

A true newbie!

His height increased from 1.6 meters to 1.9 meters, his hair stood on end against gravity, and his muscular body seemed to reflect light under the sun.

But it wasn't over yet. On top of that, Ash began to channel his Aura throughout his body.

In an instant, waves of energy surged around him.

The power of the waveguide and the resonance of the muscles reached a critical value, and the friction between these forces and the air generated bolts of lightning around Ash.

A powerful aura soared into the sky—this is Super Rookie 2!

Although you may experience back pain for a while after fighting in this mode, it's nothing to worry about.

"Come on, my darlings, unleash your skills on me and show me your power!"

Without saying a word, Machamp and Mega Tyrannosaurus Rex immediately launched a barrage of attacks.

Scizor, having only been with Ash for a short time, was somewhat confused.

But seeing that its two predecessors had done it so readily, it quickly followed suit and released its skill as well.

Ash, meanwhile, endured the power of these attacks while simultaneously maneuvering against the Pokémon.

They also provided comments on them.

This is both exploring the boundaries of Pokémon's power and exploring the boundaries of one's own power.

After using Bulk Up, Machamp swings his arm and leaps, shattering the ground beneath his feet, before unleashing a powerful punch that strikes Ash's chest from the sky.

Feeling the pain in his body, Ash became even more excited. He grabbed Machamp's two hands below and quickly lifted them up to control all four of its hands.

“Your footwork is loose and your lower body is unstable. You need to train your legs.”

After evolving, Machamp's upper body became heavier, making its original lower body power generation techniques less effective.

"But you hit hard enough to hurt me, you're such a good boy!"

He lightly hopped on his toes and pressed his feet against the monster's abdomen.

He bent his knees and charged up to kick it away, using it as a springboard to launch himself to the side of the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex that was releasing rocks.

After being hit by this attack, the monster's legs kept retreating until it crashed into four trees before it finally stopped.

"My Super Iron Tyrannosaurus skill proficiency is insufficient; it's too slow to unleash!"

Perform a 180-degree mid-air spin and use the momentum to unleash a whip kick.

It shattered the unformed rock in the hand of the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex and kicked it directly in the waist.

The Super Iron Tyrannosaurus was kicked by the powerful force, spinning backward and breaking several large trees. It lay on the ground groaning, unable to stand up for a while.

Ash immediately turned his attention to Scizor, which was taking cover from the edge.

The mantis opened its mouth, gathered energy, and fired a freezing ray, controlling its movements.

"Mantis, your attacks are weak and feeble, like a limp shrimp."

With a single step forward with his left foot, Ash moved with the speed of a dragon! He grabbed Scizor's left leg and flung it off, slamming it against a nearby boulder.

The stone surface that was hit instantly developed a crater shaped like a giant mantis pincer.

……

The battle lasted all morning, and all three Pokémon were defeated.

Ash and Kyogre stand tall on the earth!

The friendship, bond, and even loyalty between Pokémon and their trainers have increased dramatically! Incredibly! Incredibly!

Increase! Increase! Increase!

[Super Strength: Affection +5; Intimacy +10]

[Super Strength: Affection and Intimacy Levels Reach Maximum!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Attack +2; Skill: Brick Break]

[Super Iron Tyrannosaurus: Affection +4; Intimacy +8]

[Super Iron Tyrannosaurus: Affection and intimacy have reached maximum!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Attack +2; Skill: Rock Blast]

[Scizor: Affection +3; Friendship +1]

"The affinity between Machamp and Super Tyrannosaurus Rex is finally maxed out."

Ash's main team has gained two more members.

After feeling happy, he looked at the spot where he had just released the Freeze Ray.

"As expected, the power is still not enough."

His Ice Beam can only freeze "lightweight" creatures like Scizor; if it's a Tyrannosaurus Rex or Machamp, it can break free the moment it's frozen.

"The human body structure makes the Pokémon moves far less effective!"

In actual combat, it can only be used as a supplementary means. Of course, some skills are too flashy to use, which is also why Ash doesn't use skills much.

For example, a certain move called "bladder sword" water gun.

After a thoroughly enjoyable workout, we returned to the Pokémon Center to treat them, and immediately received a phone call from Celadon City.

Since it involved money, Xiaozhi rushed over to answer the call without even having time to put on his shirt.

"Xiao Zhi has some good news for you."

On the other end of the screen phone is Rika, the leader of the Rainbow Gym.

Her face wore the same mask-like, gentle, fake smile as always.

"Perfumes made with a secret formula are very popular!"

"A store can make a profit of nearly 50 yuan a month after deducting costs."

"Really? That's wonderful!"

This means that Xiaozhi has earned 25 Alliance Coins, and sales should not drop too much in the next few months.

That's a lot of money!

"Besides sharing the good news, I called to discuss an agreement with you to expand the sales of the perfume."

The initial agreement only covered one store; the subsequent revenue sharing would be negotiated based on perfume sales.

"One of the responsibilities of a gym leader is to guide and train new trainers."

"I believe you can definitely make it to the league."

"So I want to make a deal with you: if you can reach the top eight in the league tournament, you can get 30% of the profits from the other stores."

"If you reach the semi-finals, you'll get 50%; if you reach the finals, you'll get 80%. If you win the championship, all the profits will be yours."

Upon hearing Rika's suggestion, Ash raised his eyebrows excitedly and struck a bodybuilding pose to show off his fighting spirit.

"Since the curator has said so, I will definitely agree."

"Just you wait and see what I do!"

Unexpectedly, Rika blushed when she saw Ash reveal his muscles, which were as beautiful as a Greek sculpture.

"Ah, I didn't expect you to have so much flesh under your clothes."

That broad chest and burgeoning masculinity were exactly what Lijia loved.

[Ding! Rika: Affection +5]

"Ahem, ahem, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do, Ash."

Realizing that she had just lost her composure, Rika quickly adjusted her expression and returned to her usual smiling face.

After hanging up the phone, all she could think about was Xiaozhi's muscles, and she couldn't help but clench her fists slightly...

"Pikachu, did you hear that? The goal for this League Tournament is to win! Win!"

Ash is completely unaware of what's happening and is cheering Pikachu on.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

Chapter 44 Water-type Legendary Pokémon and Mega Evolution

"Look!"

Xiao Zhi grinned and took out a wooden stick, waving it in front of Xiao Xia. Suddenly, a flower appeared at the end of the stick.

"Haha, that's really funny."

Although she was startled, Xiaoxia still smiled with delight.

However, seeing Xiaoxia happy made Xiaozhi feel a little disappointed.

"My favorability rating still hasn't increased!"

Xiaoxia's favorability rating is currently stuck at 49 and can't be raised any higher.

I could have gotten the Water-type Legendary Pokémon Battle Ticket with just a little more effort.

Unfortunately, I can't add it.

He had tried everything he could during the trip, and even learned a magic trick to please Xiaoxia.

There's no other way.

Unfortunately, it was still no use. Even though he managed to make Xiaoxia happy, her favorability didn't increase.

"Why is it so difficult?"

The human mind is indeed very difficult to understand.

"Well, I can understand. After all, 50% favorability is a significant hurdle."

As for why 50 is considered a threshold?

Simply put, you can link up even if your affinity level is over 50, but if your affinity level is over 50, you will definitely be able to link up.

After comforting himself, Xiaozhi stopped thinking about it and decided to let things take their natural course when it came to matters of the heart.
