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

Then, Garchomp swung his rod for two days straight, giving his arm muscles a good workout. Ash also discovered that Garchomp was extremely talented in battle.

Not only does it possess superhuman strength, but it also inherits the water jet technique from its parents.

The ability is the rare Adaptability, which makes a Pokémon's same-type move have twice the power of a normal Pokémon's move.

Normal Pokémon have a 50% type power boost and a 100% adaptability boost.

This makes Shrimp incredibly brave in battle; every Pokémon it catches—no, every Pokémon it catches with Ash—is defeated by Shrimp himself.

During these few days of training, the Lobster Soldier has performed exceptionally well.

Aside from occasionally using pliers to tap the baby dragon's head, which often leads to arguments with its companions, there are no other faults to be found.

Ash is growing to like Garchomp more and more, and he has secretly forgiven it for the huge sin of "damaging Muscleman's property" that it committed before.

"Baby Dragon, use Mind Hammer!"

"Lobster Soldier, use Bubble Beam!"

The enormous howling whale, still in a daze after being pulled out of the water by the lobster soldier holding the fishing rod, was quickly struck in the soft belly by the Baby Dragon's mental hammer.

His entire body was sent flying backward like a ball that had been hit hard.

Then a large number of translucent, light blue bubbles flew out from the lobster soldier's open pincers, attacking the spot where the big fat fish had been hit before, causing its greasy body to tremble incessantly.

Just like all the battles that Baby Dragon and Lobster Soldier have experienced in the past two days, their opponents were completely overwhelmed by them.

The pitiful howling whale tumbled onto the water's surface, belly up, and was unable to fight.

"Hooho~"

[Ding! Baby Dragon: Affection +1; Intimacy +1]

[Ding! Lobster Soldier: Affection +1; Intimacy +1]

"Well done, baby dragon, lobster... soldier!"

Before Xiao Zhi could finish praising them, the two little guys started fighting again.

It turned out that the lobster soldier, seeing that the battle had ended beautifully, hurriedly went to pat his comrade on the back to celebrate.

Then, he accidentally slapped the baby dragon into the sea, where it fell flat on its face.

Of course, it's also possible that the lobster soldier wasn't acting by accident; perhaps he simply doesn't have the concept of holding back when facing his comrades.

But Baby Dragon didn't care whether the lobster soldier did it on purpose or not, and immediately got up angrily and headbutted back.

"Be! Be! Be!" (You're asking for it, you stinky lobster!)

"Hey, hey, hey?" (Good bro, why is that? Our teamwork is so perfect...)

Ash guessed the emotions of the two Pokémon based on their cries, since Corphish's simple brain probably couldn't possibly come up with such complex sentences.

But it knows how to fight back.

The large pincers slammed down on the baby dragon's hard head, and the baby dragon immediately retaliated, beginning their fourth entanglement battle of the day.

The two sides were evenly matched, each striking and parrying, as if they would fight until the end of time.

In the end, Ash had no choice but to forcibly pull them apart.

"Honestly, they're such a worry."

It seems that we'll need to provide some socialization education for the lobster soldiers later on.

However, at that moment, a notification sound suddenly rang in Ash's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on achieving the new achievement "Giant Conqueror!": Defeat 100 'massive' opponents!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +2000; Free Attribute Points +2; Silver Crown +1]

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest "I Am a Legend!": Please accumulate Legend Points and become a legend in the Pokémon world! (Number of achievements: 500/500)]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +666666; All Attributes +6; Golden Crown +1; Title "Legendary"]

[Legendary: You are now listed as a legendary figure among all living beings in the world! (When equipped, prestige increases by 50 in all regions)]

Finally, after a week of hard work, Ash has achieved his goal of thirty achievements.

It was really tough.

Of course, this is also thanks to Ash's daily accumulation. If he hadn't been "loving" Pokémon all the time, the achievement wouldn't have been completed so smoothly.

The miracle of achieving thirty achievements in a week on the Island of Martial Arts was simply a reward for Ash's past good deeds.

After treating Wailord and feeding it a few High Concentration Energy Cubes to make it happily swim back to the seabed, Ash happily spun around with Pikachu, Bagon, and Corphish.

The Pokémon got dizzy from spinning around, and Ash's superhuman strength even drilled a large hole in the rocks on the beach.

But none of that matters; the long-awaited Pokémon Talent Enhancement Program can finally begin.

He had already planned it out, including the crown he would receive as a reward for completing some challenging achievements these days.

Ash currently has twenty silver crowns and three gold crowns, enough for him to upgrade all his existing Pokémon.

First, give Pikachu three silver crowns to boost its HP, Attack, and Special Defense stats.

In that case, our Pikachu will have achieved the strongest in all six talents!

The reason why Pikachu doesn't use the Golden Crown is that a single Golden Crown can enhance all of a Pokémon's individual talents to their maximum potential at once.

With Liu Bo's help, Pikachu had already used the Silver Crown to enhance its defensive abilities.

Moreover, Pikachu already possesses two of the strongest innate talents, so using the Golden Crown would be a bit of a waste.

Ash hates waste the most!

The golden crown is suitable for Ash's Pokémon, which have great potential but whose individual talents have not yet reached their maximum.

Chapter 386 My relationship with Teacher Du Juan is completely innocent!

For example, Ash's Bagon and Grovyle have good overall talents, but none of them are the strongest.

【Individual Talents of "Baby Dragons":】

体力：20（相当好）；攻击：28（非常好）；防御：18（相当好）；特攻：30（了不起）；特防：24（相当好）；速度：30（了不起）；

Overall assessment: Excellent talent!

Individual Talents of the "Forest Lizard":

体力：30（了不起）；攻击：27（非常好）；防御：17（相当好）；特攻：25（相当好）；特防：30（了不起）；速度：30（了不起）；

Overall assessment: Remarkable talent!

So Ash decided to give the Golden Crown to these two Pokémon.

As for Aoguyan, she was allocated two silver crowns in the plan.

Since it already has three of the strongest talents, and Ash plans to train it to focus on physical attack, there's no need to use the Crown to boost its special attack.

Similarly, Breloom, which also doesn't need a special attack talent, was also given three Silver Crowns by Ash.

As for the Lobster Soldier, that kid doesn't need it; all six of its individual talents are already top-notch.

Ash really struck gold with this Pokémon that saves trainers so many resources.

There's no need to worry about some Pokémon not being strong enough to gain the Crown's recognition.

The laws of reality are not so inconvenient for Ash! Ash has already used his powerful strength to make the crown submit.

He directly cracked the skull with his bare hands, forcibly put the crown on the Pokémon's head, and then personally guided the Pokémon through extreme training, which worked just as well!

This is the power of purity, the victory of muscle!

Ash already had plans for the remaining twelve silver crowns and one gold crown.

He plans to gradually bring over his former main pets and give them targeted, extreme training.

Even after saying goodbye to Uncle Liu, Xiao Zhi still kept in touch with him from time to time and exchanged ideas about learning.

Our muscular men have been honing their skills and refining their training methods under the guidance of their seniors, and have now reached a high level of proficiency.

Pokémon will learn a whole new level of defense under Ash's iron fists, break through the innate shackles of speed in deadly pursuits, and shatter attack barriers by punching until they vomit under the setting sun...

When wearing a crown, a Pokémon's power is temporarily suppressed.

Even those who are used to Ash's rigorous training will surely have a completely new and "extraordinary experience"!

With such exhilarating training, Babaozhou, Xiaohei, and Laofen naturally wouldn't want to miss out on any of it.

Thinking about the expressions they might make, Ash couldn't help but shed tears of emotion and laugh out loud.

"Hey~ Ash, are you still there?"

Just then, May suddenly popped up at the edge of the pit and called to Ash, who was still spinning and lost in thought.

Ash immediately grabbed his friends and leaped out of the pit, landing heavily on the weathered beach, adding another heavy blow to the sand.

"What's wrong, Haruka? Shouldn't you be rehearsing your new moves?"

"That's right, it's mainly because of the shell-like cocoon..."

Now, May was no longer surprised by Ash's physique, which resembled a humanoid Gundam. She calmly held up the large white ball of thread in her arms and said worriedly.

"This child hasn't eaten a single bite of food since evolving. Is this really okay?"

As a fellow competitive eater, Xiaoyao couldn't imagine what it would be like if she didn't eat for such a long time.

She worriedly shed small pearls whenever she thought about how the stinging worm had accompanied her to the dinner table and enjoyed a delicious meal together.

When faced with Haruka's reaction, Ash simply gently supported her shoulder without mocking her naivety.

He knew that this was Xiaoyao's first trip, and she lacked experience, and that she was overly concerned about the companions she had worked so hard to acquire.

"It's okay, May. This is normal. Almost all Bug-type Pokémon go through this phase."

"However, they tend to evolve very quickly. I believe that after a while, the shelled cocoon will have accumulated enough strength to break out of the cocoon."

"really?"

"Of course!" Ash even took out his Beedrill's records from when it was with Kabuto, patiently comforting May.

"And no matter what happens to the cocoon, won't I always be there for you?"

"Believe me, as long as you need me, even if it's in outer space, I will definitely rush back to help you."
