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

"Since you've made a decision, you should stick to it. The results of yesterday's intensive tutoring will depend on this, Stray Cat!"

Fortunately, Skitty did not disappoint May, and it used Blizzard without any mistakes.

"Good job, Skiptail! Use your tail wag again to gather the blizzard!"

This is a new performance move that May came up with, which really tests a Pokémon's control over the energy of its own move.

Previously, Skitty had failed many times because it was too active and couldn't control the release of Blizzard.

Now that its blizzard can be released normally, Xiaoyao can't help but want to take another risk.

Under her anxious gaze, the swishing cat swayed its large, palm-shaped tail, gradually gathering the blizzard it had just unleashed.

Like spinning a giant cotton candy, its tail was soon entangled by a layer of constantly swirling white snow.

"Now, Skitty, unleash a barrage of slaps!"

"Meow!"

The large snowball, which had been gathered together, was quickly broken open from the inside, and sparkling snowflakes, carrying a cool breeze, swept through the entire venue.

The moisture in the snow even created many small rainbows with the help of the lights on site, which was beautiful.

"Great, Ash! I did it!"

"Yes, Xiaoyao's score this time is definitely not low."

Although Haruka's new move carries a high risk of failure, the rewards for successfully using it are enormous.

Ash and Max happily high-fived May, while Shun, sitting a few rows behind them, was also pleasantly surprised.

"That guy's cheetah did a good job, performing so well on its first appearance... It seems to be someone worth paying attention to."

Green Hair chuckled softly and then firmly memorized the appearance of the swoosh-tailed cat.

However, he had no idea how embarrassed Xiaoyao had been because of Xiaoya's mischief, otherwise he would definitely have mocked her mercilessly.

Finally, when Xiaoyao finished her performance, the judges' scores were announced.

With a score of 28, Xiaoyao has achieved her highest score in the competition, essentially securing a spot in the second round of judging.

When May saw her score on the field, she excitedly picked up Skitty and gave Ash and the others a thumbs-up.

Kimimaro, who appeared next, also performed admirably.

The repressive family situation had left him feeling stifled, but now he could finally participate in the competition openly and honestly.

The gloom in his heart vanished, and he was in a better state than ever before.

He was still wearing the same Kamen Rider outfit as before, but his movements were even more carefree and childish.

It felt like a complete release of oneself.

When she appeared, she had the Night Spirit use Dark Shadow to shroud her, and then under the spotlight, a hurricane mixed with flower petals was blown up, and the black mist slowly dissipated.

He appeared with a rose in his mouth, accompanied by the wandering spirit, and then immediately threw the rose away.

"Unleash your dazzling brilliance, wandering night spirit! Will-o'-the-wisp, illusionary light!"

An astonishing number of blue will-o'-the-wisps were instantly released by the Wandering Night Spirit's large hand, and then, under the control of the illusionary light, they formed one amazing floral array after another in the air.

The Wandering Night Spirit's mastery of will-o'-the-wisps and phantom lights is truly terrifying.

These highly entertaining scenes on the field also drew applause from the audience.

However, Ash and the others watching from the sidelines felt that something was a little strange.

"That's a really powerful move. But Ash, Kimimaro's actions when he's holding the rose look so familiar. It's like something a certain green-haired guy would do."

"That's true."

Not only did Xiaosheng and Xiaozhi in the audience notice it, but even Xiaoshun had a face full of black lines.

"This guy... he actually made my movements so exaggerated..."

But there was nothing he could do; it was because Green Hair didn't participate this time, otherwise he would have rushed into the players' lounge and given Kimimaro a piece of his mind.

Kimimaro's strict education wasn't entirely a failure; at least it made him exceptionally good at learning and instilled in him the good habit of taking notes and summarizing his experiences after each battle.

After his previous battle with Shun, he immediately went back to his room and summarized his opponent's strengths, learning and absorbing them, and then used them directly in this Grand Tournament.

Facing such an opponent, it won't be easy for Xiaoyao to win.

"Kimimaro, this is wonderful..."

Seeing his son shine so brightly on stage, the elderly father watching the competition was moved to tears.

As a kept man, the most rebellious thing he ever did at home was secretly teaching his son how to perform the Grand Prix without his wife's knowledge.

Now that Kimimaro has finally been trained into a successful person, Tamura is proud of his son's performance.

Even Kimiyo, who had been forcibly brought along, surprisingly expressed agreement with Kimimaro, saying, "He's barely passable..."

Chapter 445 Hakimi is hard to be cuckolded

After the performance by Wandering Night Spirit, Kimimaro also scored a high score of 27 points, thus securing a spot in the second round of auditions.

Soon all the contestants finished their first round of auditions, and the list for the second round was quickly announced.

As expected, the top two were Haruka and Kimimaro, and they were lucky enough not to meet in the first round.

The two each faced off against a random player and both advanced to the final match.

"The final showdown has finally arrived. Xiaoyao, you must win!"

Ash was silently praying for May from the sidelines.

Because our great scholar girl was a latecomer to the profession, she only decided to become a Coordinator halfway through the Grand Festival.

If Xiaoyao wants to participate in this grand celebration, she must win the Ribbon Medal one after another; time doesn't allow her to fail a few more times.

Otherwise, if you miss it, you'll have to wait another three years, or travel to other regions to challenge the grand celebrations there.

As May's debut battle, Ash didn't want her to fail to even get into a major festival on her first attempt.

"It feels really difficult. My sister was lucky in her previous match. She managed to defeat Wartortle by using the Seed Bomb that she drew."

"But Kimimaro and Nightshade's battle against the Electric Dragon was a very decisive and beautiful victory."

"But this time, my sister has to send out the inconsistent Xiangweimiao. I have a feeling she's doomed to lose."

Before the battle began, Xiao Sheng, as always, gave his older sister a "poisonous healing" buff.

"Yes, Xiaosheng, Xiaoyao will definitely receive your blessing."

"bless?"

At this moment, Haruka and Kimimaro, at Vivian's call, went up to the final stage of the Green Field Tournament, and the entire audience looked expectantly towards the battlefield.

"Haruka, even though Ash helped me convince my mom, I won't go easy on you just because you're his teammate."

"This is my first grand tournament, and Wandering Night Spirit and I must win!"

"Oh~~!"

Kimimaro glanced at where his parents were on the sidelines and revealed an astonishing fighting spirit.

Xiaoyao retorted, "It's not just you, I also have reasons not to lose!"

The two simultaneously released their Pokémon, Dusty Ranger and Skitty.

The battle was the same as the one that took place in the park, and it was a battle between these two Pokémon.

Haruka was the first to unleash Blizzard with Skitty, but this time Kimimaro didn't let Nightshade take all the damage from the attack.

He quickly commanded the Night Spirit to use the combination of Will-o'-the-Wisp and Illusionary Light that he had used in the exhibition match before.

"Wandering Night Spirit, Ghostly Fire Flower Array Attack!"

The clusters of blue will-o'-the-wisps, manipulated by the illusionary light, flew toward the tailed cat as if they were alive.

The kitten's constant harassment interrupted the blizzard's release halfway through.

The small body rolled backward several times due to the reaction force.

"Ah, hold on, Skiptail!" Haruka's score was suddenly reduced by a significant amount.

"Wow, Kimimaro can actually use this technique in battle, that's amazing!" Kakashi exclaimed.

"However, Will-o'-the-Wisp is a move that can inflict a burn status on the opponent, and Cheeky Cat is not currently in a burn status..."

"It seems that Kimimaro's combination attack mainly deals damage from the illusionary light that surrounds him."

"Although the presentation is quite flashy, the damage is not as good as using one of the moves alone."

"Hmm, it seems to be a combination move specifically prepared for the Grand Contest."

Ash suddenly realized that if he didn't use the main attack, Psychic, but instead used Psychic, which has stronger manipulation capabilities, to control Will-O-Wisp, would it be more lethal?

"If this could be used in a real match, it would definitely catch some people off guard."

But now is not the time to think about that; Xiaoyao is in a major crisis.

Although the combo attacks of the Wandering Night Spirits slightly weaken the power of the skills, their sheer number makes up for it.

The relentless attacks of the will-o'-the-wisps left the tailed cat dizzy and disoriented, unable to muster any more skills.

Xiaoyao could only offer encouragement from the sidelines.

"Keep it up, Skitty! Hang in there!"

"Wandering Night Spirit, don't miss this opportunity! Continue the attack with the Ghostly Fire Flower Formation!"

Every time Cheeky Cat tries to stand up and use its skills, it is immediately knocked down again by a barrage of will-o'-the-wisps.

Haruka's score is slowly decreasing, and it seems that due to her lack of experience, Snakehead can only go this far.

"Ah, sister's done."

No, not yet.

Ash's keen eyes locked onto Skitty, noticing that the time it took for it to be knocked down was getting shorter and shorter, and that it had already managed to dodge several of Will-O-Wisp's sudden attacks.

The will-o'-the-wisp is cyan, and cyan is green, which glows even more brightly under the illusionary light.

But Xiangweimiao is Hakimi, and as everyone knows, Hakimi is hard to be fooled by.
