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

This time, Xiaoyao first hugged the Torchic and then slowly hugged Fa Jie, finally allowing her to hug Zhenyi Fa.

Ash walked to the open space and helped Swellow and Treecko up.

Both Pokémon, with their equally stubborn and competitive personalities, couldn't hide their disappointment when faced with defeat.

"You two should learn from this defeat. If we had cooperated well just now, we wouldn't have had no chance of winning."

"Do you know, Treecko and Tsunade, only by truly understanding our comrades' feelings can we perform better in battle..."

Ash's motivational speech: Take advantage of their defeat to quickly educate the two Pokémon.

"Even in one-on-one matches, effective teamwork with your teammates can often turn the tide of the battle!"

Under Ash's gentle gaze, Treecko and Taillow exchanged a glance and silently reached out their hands and wings.

But just before they were about to touch each other, they immediately shrank back and turned their heads to the side at the same time.

"Oh dear, it seems it still won't work." Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng looked at this scene with some disappointment.

"Both Pokémon have overly stubborn and awkward personalities."

But Ash wasn't in a hurry to succeed.

"It's okay, this is already a great start. It's only the first battle. They will definitely become the best partners later on."

The two Pokémon wanted to shake hands and make peace, but due to their awkward personalities and pride, they turned away arrogantly at the last moment.

Ash believes that a few more battles will do the trick.

"But since things have come to this, let's eat first."

A big meal after strenuous exercise is the best comfort for soldiers.

Ash immediately called May and Max to help prepare lunch, while the Pokémon were left aside to play on their own.

However, perhaps due to their recent defeat, neither Treekie nor Turtle were in high spirits.

They each found a high branch, sat on it, and gazed into the distance, still quite far apart from each other.

Meanwhile, Pikachu and its three companions were having a great time, playing hide-and-seek with each other in the grass.

But when it was Pikachu's turn to pretend to be the ghost and look for the other two little ones, it couldn't find Torchic anywhere.

Pikachu could only hurry back with Vibrating Wing to find Ash and the others.

"Pika, Pikachu!"

"What's wrong, Pikachu?"

"Oh dear, it seems the turkeys are missing!"

"What?! We need to go find it right now!"

With Ash's Aura Sense, finding Torchic is quite easy.

Ash and his friends soon spotted Torchic nearby, but it seemed to be in bad shape.

Because a rather fierce and enormous spathy had already tightly bound it, and the whole thing was being pinched and bounced like a ball.

"Um, are they playing?" Haruka asked innocently.

At this moment, the venomous tail of the spiky snake lit up.

"Ah, they're definitely not playing around!"

At that moment, Treecko leaped down from the tree and used its slap to hit Scyther on the head, stopping it from continuing its attack on Torchic.

But this katana seemed to be quite strong, a local tyrant in the forest, and quickly recovered after taking the hit.

It stared intently at the treetop with fierce eyes, and its sharp tail quickly flashed with a purple light symbolizing its deadly poison, lashing out at the treetop's body.

In order to protect the Torchic that had fainted behind him, Treecko did not choose to dodge.

Just as Treecko was about to be struck by Poison Sting, Tauntlet suddenly flew down and knocked Treecko aside, taking the hit for it.

"Kima?!"

"Spa~"

The Wood Ghoul looked at the poisoned and collapsed Aogu Yan with disbelief, and after a moment of silence, it didn't say anything more.

It simply picked up a twig and silently protected the Shrike and the Torchling behind it.

"Hmm, it seems they won't have any problems getting along from now on."

"Shoku, can we go save them now?"

"Of course, we need to hurry and treat the poisoned Pokémon."

Actually, May wanted to rush over earlier, but Ash stopped her because he had spotted Treecko and Taillow in advance.

"Greek, jump up and use Slap!"

Treecko exchanged a surprised glance with Ash, then immediately leaped up to dodge Seviper's sneak attack, and then spun in the air to unleash a powerful slap.

In an instant, the rice spoon snake was knocked senseless and fell to the ground with a thud.

[Ding! Wood Gecko: Affection +2; Intimacy +2]

At this moment, Xiaoyao quickly ran over and brought back the Swellow and the Torchic, feeding them the antidote.

But that silverfish snake was quite cunning; it pretended to be stunned.

While everyone was focused on the two poisoned Pokémon, it immediately used its tail to curl up the berry hidden in the grass and ate it in large bites.

"hiss~"

The Spoon Snake is fully recovered! Its attack power has even been enhanced after eating a few Lychee Fruits.

"Ah, Ash, Seviper has woken up again!"

When Xiaoyao turned her head and saw a hideous snake face, she was almost scared out of her wits.

"Oh, it's just a camouflage snake, quite clever indeed."

This was the first time Ash had ever seen a wild Pokémon that ate berries during battles, and he immediately became interested.

He had originally thought that since Seviper was a high-level and strong Pokémon, he would treat it later and let it battle with his Pokémon a few more times.

It has now healed itself, saving Ash money on medicine.

The miser is delighted!

Just as Ash was about to order everyone to work together and share the experience, another group of people suddenly arrived.

"Ah, I found it! It's the Seviper that runs rampant in this forest, bullying Pokémon everywhere!"

"Damn it! How dare they attack me while I'm training for the Grand Contest! They'll make my actress's hair, which she cherishes like her life!"

"Meow, and meow meow, my lunch!"

Unexpectedly, the people who came were Kojiro and his friends, who were all so angry they were practically fuming.

At this moment, Musashi's eyes were burning with rage, and she had completely lost her mind. Her signature long hair had already been cut off.

She forcibly took the Poké Ball from Kojiro's waist and released Lycaenus and her own Wobbuffet.

"Wobbuffet uses Double Strike, and then Cynthia attacks Wobbuffet with Seed Gun first, followed by Pin Missile!"

"Give me a taste of the actress's magnificent furious attack!"

"Sonas~"

"Desert Nai!"

This Desert Nyx appears to be a newly caught Pokémon by Kojiro, but it attacks quite swiftly.

It swiftly unleashed a Seed Machine Gun with one hand, attacking Wobbuffet which had already used Double Strike, while simultaneously launching Pin Missiles towards Seviper with its other hand.

After enduring the attack from the Seed Machine Gun, Wobbuffet was lifted up by Musashi and charged towards the direction of the Seviper.

The seed machine gun's energy was amplified and released, intertwining with the missile needle attack, all aimed at the rice spoon snake.

The missile pins and the seed machine gun exploded together during the attack, creating a spectacular display of fireworks.

Because the Seed Machine Gun was doubled in power, it gained the upper hand in the intertwining, and the energy of the missile needle exploded first.

The flash of light blinded the serpent, leaving it unsure of which way to dodge, and it was struck by both attacks simultaneously.

Having suffered massive damage, the serpent tried to retaliate with its venomous tail attack, but Musashi rammed it in the face with his spiky tail.

The damage from the venomous tail attack was doubled and ingested by the snake itself, causing an explosion at the location of the venomous snake.

As the smoke dissipated, amidst the shimmering golden light, Musashi, standing on the "corpse" of the serpent, joined Wobbuffet and Nyarlathotep in a final bow.

Xiaoyao was completely stunned.

"So beautiful..."

Chapter 360 Pokémon Grand Contest

After the thank-you ceremony, Musashi, still feeling unsatisfied, thought about his prized hair and kicked the rice spoon snake a few more times.

"Jessie, this Pokémon's personality is too nasty. If it stays here, it will definitely continue to bully other Pokémon."

"It's rare that you managed to defeat it. Why don't you try taming the Sparrow Serpent and raising it?"

Upon hearing Kojiro's words, Musashi glanced at the serpent at his feet and was reminded of Arbok from the past, his eyes softening instantly.

"Fine, they're all snakes after all."

She immediately threw out a Poké Ball, and the Seviper was captured before it could struggle for long.

"Consider yourself lucky. I, Jessie, a future superstar, am currently lacking Pokémon."

"From now on, you'll take Arbok's place and contribute to my Contest of Favorites journey, hahaha!"

Suddenly, Musashi felt a little lost.

"Sigh, I wonder how Arbok is doing these days."

Although she was holding a Seviper Poké Ball, Jessie's mind was filled with thoughts of Arbok.

Sadly, even the Pokémon world has its own stand-in literature.

"If it's Arbok and Weezing, I was contacted by staff members who were involved in building the protected area not long ago."
