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

"Ugh~, it was so bumpy going through the troposphere, are you alright, Pikachu?"

"Pika~" (trembling voice)

Inside the power supply compartment, Pikachu was still dizzy from the shock, but its two cheeks were still constantly releasing electricity, providing a continuous source of energy for the rocket.

After traversing the entire atmosphere, Ash and Pikachu arrived in outer space.

At that moment, Pikachu looked out the rocket window at the shimmering Milky Way.

It was truly magnificent; it captivated the viewer.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

"Isn't it beautiful?"

However, the huge meteorite was now very close, and Xiao Zhi looked up to observe it carefully.

"Wow, it's huge!"

He got up, handed over the rocket control console to Kojiro and the others at the ground base, and then released Jirachi.

The little star's body began to float in the air under the light of a meteorite not far away, and the big eyes on its belly slowly opened, absorbing the energy that was gathering.

"Professor Oak's hypothesis is correct; perhaps this really can awaken Jirachi!"

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Zhi was overjoyed, but then sighed.

"I just don't know how many days it will stay awake."

After all, the meteorite was going to be blown up by Ash soon, so he straightened his spacesuit, opened the hatch, and walked into the passageway connecting the rocket to the outside world.

When the outermost hatch opened, Ash took out a Poké Ball.

"I've chosen you! Come out, my Neko-Kujira, Mega Evolution!!"

"Lie Oo~!" (What, stop sitting here like a nerd! Call me Lord Lie Kongzuo!)

Ash sat atop Rayquaza's head, and together they charged forward amidst the glow of Mega Evolution.

The people on the ground cheered and jumped for joy when they saw the Mega Evolved Rayquaza appear on the screen.

Several researchers immediately took out their cameras and started snapping pictures like crazy; this was the first time in their lives they had ever seen a live Rayquaza.

Unfortunately, the footage from the ground base was all captured by cameras on the rocket, so they couldn't capture the full view of Rayquaza. But they were still very satisfied with what they had seen.

"Is this Rayquaza?"

Naki stared blankly at the boy on the screen, riding a handsome dragon soaring through space, her heart pounding wildly.

At this moment, Ash and Rayquaza had arrived at the path that the giant meteorite was bound to fall on.

Faced with such a behemoth, even Niko, who has now grown to 20 meters long after being thoroughly fed by Ash, appears as tiny as a black caterpillar.

"The size difference is huge. I feel like I'll be crushed to dust like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Are you scared, Rayquaza?"

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" (The food is delicious!)

No matter how big this meteorite, composed of natural energy, is, in Liekongzu's eyes, just a big, fragrant, soft little cake.

How could it possibly be afraid? It had already attacked its right brain with its left brain, and its stomach had replaced its thinking!

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhi burst into laughter.

"You glutton, but I've been waiting for this moment for a long time too. Let's go, Rayquaza!"

"Like the sun, it fell resolutely, a shooting star! (The finishing touch!)"

"Lie!...Lie oh~?" (...Wait a minute, why does this sound so ominous to me?)

"Enough talk, let's charge!"

How could a great hero harm anyone? Ash grasped Mega Rayquaza's horn and frantically poured energy into its body.

The most powerful finishing touch in Nikolai's empty-sit technique ever is here!

Everyone in the command center was holding their breath for Xiaozhi and his team at that moment.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new legendary quest, "Look, Mother, it's a shooting star!": Smash the giant meteor that is about to destroy Hoenn! (You will win!)]

【奖励：联盟币+5000000；防御+5；特防+5；自由属性点+5；陨石中奇怪的晶体+1】

Chapter 469 Professor Birch: Ash, listen to me, thank you! (╬▔皿▔)╯

Rayquaza's head slammed violently into the giant meteorite, and in an instant, stars scattered along with its dragon whiskers, and terrifying lightning flashed wildly all around.

Ash and Rayquaza's attack was incredibly powerful, but the giant meteor was simply too big, and the two sides reached a stalemate.

The Sky Thrower charged forward with all its might, but the meteorite was as huge as a mountain and could not be moved.

Gradually, the large meteorite gained the upper hand due to its terrifying impact momentum.

As the people at the ground base watched Rayquaza's body slowly descend, their hearts sank inch by inch.

Everyone started praying, calling upon every deity they could think of, hoping for a miracle.

Even the Sky Piercer's eyes turned red at this moment.

"Fierce!" (Damn, it's still not quite there!)

Nigoth is not the legendary ancient Rayquaza; it's just a 2000-year-old young man who has just come of age.

It was only because Ash dragged it into the fight against the super meteorite that it was able to do so, but it was still giving it its all.

Amidst this despair, Ash suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"How could that be? As long as I'm here, it won't be a little lacking, it'll be more than enough!"

His aura surged wildly, and his hair inside the space helmet stood up and grew longer. Ash's Super Rookie form was revealed!

He unleashed his strongest power, and Ash, his entire body enveloped in a layer of crystal, stood atop Rayquaza's head, his hands clasped together.

While supplying energy to the Pokémon beneath him, he once again squeezed out the remaining energy from his entire body and concentrated it between his two palms.

"Intelligent Qi Gong Wave!!!" (Wave Guide Cannon)

In an instant, a dazzling light shone forth, and an energy wave, about the thickness of Lie Kongzuo's head, struck the surface of the meteorite.

The meteorite's falling speed immediately dropped to zero, and it even began to move backward!

[Ding! Rayquaza: Affection +5; Intimacy +5]

"Liekong, let's add the finishing touch one more time!!!"

"Fierce, fierce~!" (Go, buddies, we're too strong!)

At this moment, Ash added his own psychic power to the aura energy wave. He used his psychic shaping ability to turn the head of the energy wave into a drill-like shape.

He concentrated all his and Rayquaza's power into one point, and then increased the output power once again.

Boom boom boom~……

Finally, the meteorite was penetrated.

Blue light waves pierced the sky, completely penetrating this colossal object.

"As we all know, the smaller the contact area, the greater the pressure. This is the victory of strength and wisdom!"

"Wow, that's incredible!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your "Superpower" trait has increased from lv5 to lv6! (Go lift up a girl's skirt~, now you can use your superpower to perform more delicate movements!)]

"I told you I don't know how!" Although Ash also had some doubts.

At this point, the super meteorite had already split in two, and under the aftershocks of the final touch, it was shattered once more.

The outer shell of the meteorite fell off, revealing the high-purity crystals of ancient natural energy inside.

Although the outer shells of the detached meteorites continued to fall due to the gravitational pull of the planet, the energy crystals, which accounted for the majority of the super meteorite's weight, remained in outer space.

Those that escaped can no longer cause irreparable disaster to Hoenn. The Great Meteor Crisis is over!

The meteorite's outer shell burned and shattered into smaller pieces during atmospheric friction, creating a spectacular meteor shower that spanned the entire Hoenn night sky.

In the ground base command center, upon seeing that Ash and Rayquaza had successfully stopped the giant meteor, everyone in the center erupted in jubilation, shouting and hugging in celebration.

The citizens of Yinyu City also looked up at the night sky at this moment.

Although the shockwave from space was greatly weakened by the time it reached the ground, the closest residents of Yinyu could still vaguely sense something.

Then people were surprised to discover, "A meteor shower is happening tonight!"

"Was it thanks to that rocket in front?"

"Wow, how beautiful! It's so gorgeous and perfectly matches our carnival."

……

While the celebrations raged inside the command post, the citizens outside also joined in the fun.

They took photos and cheered, completely unaware that they had just escaped a catastrophic disaster.

At this moment, the orders from the command center were transmitted to other research institutes, and all the artillery that the alliance had deployed in advance was activated.

To smash all the small meteorites that might fall into the city.

The cable was finally repaired by Higanbana and Team Rocket, and news of the meteorite attack spread to disaster prevention stations throughout Hoenn in a short time.

One by one, shields filled with Togepi's protective energy rose from the ground, protecting all the towns within them.

The people of Hoenn slept peacefully through the night.

In space, Ash finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the meteorite completely shatter.

At this moment, countless crystals shimmering with green light surrounded him and Rayquaza, like a beautiful star ring.

The gluttonous Nigo couldn't resist any longer and immediately rushed into the ocean of natural energy to feast. In the process, he accidentally flung Ash away.

However, Ash can fly in space, so it doesn't matter if Rayquaza isn't around unless there's a large meteorite.

He immediately took control of his body and plunged headfirst into the "river of energy crystals" before him, collecting all the natural energy crystals that his hand touched into the system space.

"So many natural energy crystals, each worth a million, that's way more profitable than robbing a bank!"

Xiao Zhi's face was beaming, and his hands moved faster and faster.

The crystals then converged into a great river, and Ash and Rayquaza sat at opposite ends, drinking to their hearts' content!
