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

The volt shock instantly pierced through the hot water and rushed straight towards Milotic.

"Go, Pikachu!"

"Pickup!"

The flash of electricity ravaged the entire battlefield; even a mere ripple from the electricity that accidentally struck a large tree on the sidelines could slice it in half.

By this time, it was too late for Mikkuri to get Milnas out of the way. The Volta Blast struck Milnas squarely on the forehead, and a violent surge of electricity shot into the sky.

The dazzling golden light of the lightning shone on Mikoli's face, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.

"Beautiful, this is beauty!"

[Ding! Mikoli: Affection +10]

The explosion created a gust of wind across the field, and after several explosions, a huge crater was left in the ground.

Among them, the two mosquito coil rings of Minas were lying inside.

"A narrow victory!"

"Oh, right, Milotic is unable to battle, Pikachu wins!"

With Xiaoyao's prompting, Xiaosheng finally realized what was happening and made the final judgment on the sparring match.

Ash has now achieved a winning streak against two Hoenn champions.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved the achievement "Dominate the Hoenn League (Pseudo)": Successfully defeated two Hoenn Champions in battle!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +5000; Attack +5; Defense +5; Free Attribute Points +5]

"Great! Pikachu, we won!"

Ash happily picked up Pikachu and celebrated with it.

At this moment, Wallace recalled Milotic and walked towards Ash while clapping.

"That's amazing! You're so awesome, Ash!"

"You are a true Pokémon Trainer, and I am overjoyed to have met you and your Pokémon."

Chapter 427 Autumn Leaf Tournament

"Forest Lizard, Seed Machine Gun!"

"King Catfish, Hyper Beam!"

An ordinary evening, an ordinary open space, but the sounds of fighting were anything but ordinary.

On the battlefield, Ash and Wallace are respectively commanding Grovyle and Kingkine in a fierce battle.

The forest lizard leaped away, dodging the beam of light that was filled with a destructive aura.

Then it swiftly lunged from mid-air, the Forest Lizard, already in its Lush state, radiating a vibrant green light, and quickly unleashed a Seed Machine Gun with a 4x advantage against the Catfish King.

Michael clapped his hands repeatedly at her nimble and lively figure.

"It's truly dazzling; the Forest Lizard has a beautiful form that rivals any Pokémon."

After this round, the Catfish King finally collapsed, completely losing its ability to fight.

[Ding! Forest Lizard: Affection +5; Intimacy +5]

"Cheers!!!"

The forest lizard roared to the sky; it had truly defeated Mikoli's catfish king—it was no easy feat.

In its excitement, the forest lizard suddenly emitted a white light all over its body.

"evolution?"

"That's right, it's evolution! Great! Forest Lizard, no, Lizard King!"

Ash immediately ran over to get a closer look at his evolved partner and was genuinely happy for it.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing Treecko's hidden quest "Turn the tide, Sceptile!": Please evolve Treecko into Sceptile]

【获得奖励：联盟币+5000；防御+2；特防+2；自由属性点+3；银色王冠+2】

Just then, Haruka excitedly ran over, carrying a Torchic.

"Ash, Max, look! My Torchic has learned Flamethrower!"

"Good news, but Xiaoyao should check on the Forest Lizard first. It has successfully evolved into Sceptile!"

"Yes, sister, the first starter Pokémon in our team to evolve to its final form has been born."

"Oh, I thought the biggest good news I'd hear today would be from me."

"Chama?"

"Ah, it's alright, Torchic. I'm not disappointed. I'm already happy that you learned to breathe fire."

Noticing that the turkey had misunderstood her disappointment, Haruka quickly and gently comforted it.

This scene of mutual care between Pokémon and trainers deeply moved Wallace.

"Oh, the bond between trainers and Pokémon... that's wonderful!"

"I believe that with the mutual effort of two hearts, your Torchic will surely evolve soon, Haruka."

After leisurely retrieving the King Catfish, Mikoli immediately sat back down at the table and began to drink hot tea.

Since his battle with Ash yesterday, Wallace has completely accepted Ash.

Afterwards, he was impressed by Ash's cooking skills and readily agreed to help Ash's Pokémon train in battles when they traveled together.

After all, nurturing outstanding successors for the future of the league is also one of the important responsibilities of a champion.

The two sides fought several battles over the past two days, with Ash mainly using Grovyle.

This guy is Ash's most popular member of Hoenn's team. After witnessing Pikachu's battle against Steven's Metagross, he has been looking forward to battling a strong opponent of this caliber.

This time, the opportunity finally arrived, and Mikuri gave the Forest Lizards face by sending out the Catfish King from his main force.

However, even though the Forest Lizard had a significant attribute advantage in the battle, it still struggled quite a bit.

Finally, after a four-game losing streak, it was in the fifth game that it successfully defeated a champion-level catfish king.

The result was that it was so excited that it evolved.

Everyone crowded around the evolved Lizard King, looking it over and touching it until it became shy.

"By the way, Haruka, how's your practice of doubles flash battles going?"

"Well, there shouldn't be any major problems. Torchic learned to breathe fire through practice."

"Really? That's good. Don't slack off."

During his breaks, Wallace still made sure to give May some pointers on her studies, often tutoring her during breaks between battles with Ash.

This greatly benefited May on her path to becoming a Coordinator.

For example, tell her that the grand battles in this grand celebration will be in doubles format, and let her practice in advance.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends had already arrived outside Fallleaf Town.

The entrance gate alone was already quite lively due to the upcoming grand event.

"Well, Ash, May, Max, and Pikachu, it's time for us to part ways here for now."

"Thank you so much for taking care of my colleagues these past few days. You are all very outstanding people."

"Especially Haruka, she's such a diligent child, it reminds me of when Rukia was little..."

"I will definitely go to the Autumn Leaf Festival. Although I can't tell you where I will be, I will cheer for you."

After afternoon tea, Michael carefully put away the information about Togepi Park that Ash had given him, and at the same time, they arranged the location for the League to come and pick up the cannon.

He then changed back into the outfit that concealed his figure, the one worn by the perverted stalker, and wrapped himself up completely.

Then, with a flourish, he said goodbye to Ash and the others.

"Thank you for your guidance during this time, Mr. Michael. Goodbye."

"Pikachu!"

"We'll definitely meet again if fate allows!"

After saying that, Mikoli spun around and disappeared like the wind.

He'll be incredibly busy from now on, so he needs to make the most of this rare solo vacation.

Ash and his friends were also filled with emotion as they watched Wallace disappear in a flash.

"What a peculiar person, arriving suddenly and leaving quickly."

"He's just a good person."

During the time that Michael accompanied Ash, he did not get angry or refuse even when Ash invited him to battle intensely. He even specially reduced his sleep time to guide May.

She can be described as having a very good personality, just a bit flamboyant in general.

After Wallace left, Ash and his friends quickly entered Fallleaf Town.

The group arrived at the high platform at the entrance to the city and gazed at the town under the twilight.

"It's truly magnificent." Upon seeing the center of the conference, Xiaoyao secretly made up her mind.

"This time, I'm determined to get the Magnificent Ribbon Medal!"

After everyone settled in at the Pokémon Center as usual, they immediately accompanied May to the venue of the tournament the next day.

"Wow, there are so many people here! They've all come specifically to attend the Grand Festival."

Upon entering the venue, Xiao Sheng was astonished by the number of people attending the conference.

Even Xiaoyao's hard-won fighting spirit was shaken.

"What should I do? Everyone looks so strong, I'm starting to get nervous again."

"It's alright, Haruka. You've received guidance from Michael, so you're sure to win this grand tournament."

Ash's words of affirmation gave May strength and helped her regain her energy.

"winning!"
