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

The noise that Xiaoyao and the others made when they landed woke up the Cocodoras who were hibernating on the next level.

The CocoDoras, suddenly awakened from their sweet dreams, immediately assumed that Haruka and Masahiro were the culprits.

They surged out of the earthen wall and chased after Xiaoyao and her brother.

There were just too many Cocodoras, and even Mushroom couldn't keep up with them all. Before Xiaoyao and the others could catch their breath, they had to start their underground parkour mode again.

"Ash, save us!" ×2

"Hold on, I'll come rescue you after I've dealt with the enemies up there."

Ash felt relieved seeing their expressions. After all, May and Max usually ran with him quite often, so he believed that running a little more wouldn't be a problem.

Huoyan and the others had already scouted the entire cave beforehand, so they ran to a relatively solid spot on the ground and were unharmed.

The forest lizard leaped at the perfect moment, and thanks to its keen observation, it escaped the earthquake unharmed.

"Forest Lizard, use this slap!"

The forest lizard, leaping into the air, executed a stylish turn, and the large leaf on its head suddenly swelled with energy, growing even larger.

Taking advantage of the moment when the fire-breathing camel used its earthquake attack and its four hooves sank into the ground, it slammed the large leaf down heavily on its head!

The fire-breathing camel was immediately dizzy and its head tilted to the side. Its entire body was slammed into the ground by the powerful blow, leaving only its head sticking out.

"Moo..."

Fire Goose was defeated, and Fire Camel couldn't even hit the Forest Lizard once throughout the entire battle. Her beautiful face instantly became distorted.

"Hahaha! Ash, you're so strong it makes me want to vomit!"

"...As expected...you...are quite unexpected...I want to understand you...more...more deeply."

"...I will conduct experiments on you...Ash...."

"...From today...until forever...ah?"

Fire Goose's beautiful eyes dimmed instantly, as if they had been broken, and it kept muttering various incomprehensible syllables.

Especially that final "Aha!" made Ash break out in a cold sweat.

Even though it looks cute when it's broken.

"But forever... this woman isn't a yandere, is she?"

Mom once told Xiaozhi that getting entangled with a yandere woman never ends well! (Fake)

Xiao Zhi is a little worried now, wishing he hadn't been so ruthless.

When the Lava Team's underlings saw their leader like this, they quickly threw down a few smoke grenades and retreated.

Thick black smoke instantly filled the entire passage.

Of course, this trick wouldn't work on Ash, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to let the Fire Goose escape.

After all, Ash wanted to get Groudon through Team Magma first.

Suddenly, several huge explosions came from above the cave, and the surface of the entire Rock Cave seemed to be collapsing.

It seems that this is what Fire Village and the others did earlier. Ash is worried about the safety of May and Max underground.

He quickly recalled the Forest Lizard, picked up Pikachu, and flew towards the hole created by the earthquake.

The shockwaves from the explosion on the surface seemed to have traveled underground, putting the entire underground layer in grave danger.

Ash spread his Aura to its full extent and finally found May and her friends in front of a dead end near a waterfall.

Why are there waterfalls underground?

There's no time to worry about that now, because Xiaoyao and the others are about to be caught up by the angry Cocodora army.

"Ah, a dead end!"

"Xiaosheng, aren't you the one who knows Pokémon best? Quickly use your invincible knowledge to think of a solution!"

"I have no other choice."

Torchic, Mushroom, and even Wurmple were exhausted, so May and her siblings could only inch their way backwards surrounded by Cocoyora.

Suddenly, a figure appeared above the waterfall.

"Metamorphoses, use Psychic Noise!"

Chapter 380 Daigo's Challenge

The powerful sound energy emanated from above the waterfall, instantly deterring the originally aggressive Cocodoras.

At that moment, the figure above leaped down with a glittering Metagross monster; it turned out to be a handsome blue-haired man dressed in miner's clothes.

"Dawu?"

Ash was surprised when he saw Shiny Metagross. As the signature Pokémon of the Hoenn Champion, how could he not recognize it? He just didn't expect to meet it so soon.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest "Hoenn Noble, Daigo": Find the awesome rock-digging guy on Dew Island!]

"Go back, CocoDoras."

At that moment, Daigo waved his hand, accompanied by Metagross's roar, and the large group of Cocoa Doraemon immediately disappeared.

Ash finally arrived. "May, Max, I'm sorry I'm late. Are you alright?"

"It's alright, thanks to this gentleman's help."

Hearing Ash's voice, May finally breathed a sigh of relief, patting her broad chest.

Steven, being quite knowledgeable, didn't show much surprise at Ash flying over.

"Can you fly? Is that a superpower?"

"I guess so." Ash handed several bottles of healing potions to May, urging her to treat the Torchic and the others as soon as possible.

They then took Kacchan to thank Daigo again for saving them.

"Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Daigo!"

"No need to be so polite. I just heard some strange noises and came to check it out." Daigo smiled gently at Ash and the others.

He truly lived up to his reputation as the young master of Hoenn; his smile was incredibly handsome, and even ordinary miner's clothes looked like luxurious haute couture on him.

However, the dirt and dust on his face revealed that he may have been happily dusting himself off not long ago, which actually added to his approachable charm.

"Speaking of which, do you know what happened up there?" Daigo took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, then tossed his hair and asked Ash and the others.

"The noise was so loud that I thought a volcano on the island had erupted."

"This..." Ash glanced at the now calm ground.

"Actually, it was the Lava Team who detonated explosives on the surface of the cave, which almost completely collapsed the upper space and blocked all the exits."

Fortunately, the surface mine tunnels of the Rock Cave have long been abandoned, no Pokémon live there, and no one usually goes there, so there were no casualties.

However, based on the size of the entire cave and Ash's current location,

Even if Ash were to dig it himself, it would probably take at least half an hour to dig a passage out of the cave.

As a mining expert, Daigo immediately analyzed everyone's current situation.

"It might take us a while to get out, and as for Team Lava..."

Daigo's face darkened, and he thought to himself.

"It seems that the intelligence we received earlier, which said that Team Magma and Team Aqua were both eyeing a certain ruin on Fighting Island, was true."

However, confident in his own abilities, Daigo was not alarmed at all when he heard the news of being trapped; he was simply deeply troubled.

"Honestly, they're all just troublemakers. I haven't even finished digging out my stones yet."

Just then, Kacchan remembered the letter that Zivucci had asked him to pass on, so he quickly took it out and handed it to Daigo, who was deep in thought about whether to continue skipping work.

"Oh, is this a letter for me? Thank you for bringing this over, little brother, you've worked hard."

Daigo picked up the letter and glanced at it, first skillfully skipping over the part about his father faking illness to trick him into going back to manage the company.

He then finally managed to pick and choose the valuable parts to read, but as soon as he closed the letter, Daigo couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh dear, you're such a worry..."

Before they could even find the most important stone, the guild leader had already contacted his father to urge him to return to the Alliance quickly.

But there's nothing we can do, since the Hoenn region has been anything but peaceful lately.

The three evil organizations are getting too big for their britches with the league, and as the champion, he really can't keep slacking off.

"However, we can't just leave the matter on Martial Arts Island unresolved. Should we send one of the Four Heavenly Kings over to handle it?"

But Daigo immediately rejected the idea after a second thought.

"By the time those four guys get here, Team Magma and Team Ocean will probably be long gone."

Suddenly, he spotted Ash standing to the side, touching his shiny Metagross with a perverted look on his face, and his eyes lit up.

"Xiao Sheng, look! This Metagross is being trained so well!"

"Yes, that's a very rare Pokémon. We're so lucky to have encountered it!"

Ash and Max, panting heavily, groped the shiny Metagross.

The color scheme of this shiny Metagross is so cool, the two of them were completely mesmerized.

Ash's desire to obtain this powerful and cool Pokémon has reached its peak.

"Do you like it? Ash, would you like to battle it?"

Just then, Steven came over with a smile and patted Ash on the shoulder.

"Really? Right now, here?" Ash was overjoyed.

He hadn't even started challenging Daigo yet, but unexpectedly, the other party came over on his own initiative.

Daigo nodded coolly.

"That's right, it's right here. Anyway, we just happened to be trapped together."

"There's no rush to go out, let's have a match first."
