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

It flew into the sky without the slightest fear, and the power of the dragon gathered in its mouth.

Ash also acknowledged this fighting spirit, saying, "Very good, I approve of such an opponent."

"Deoxys, deliver the final blow!"

But unexpectedly, Deoxys suddenly landed from the air and knelt in the center of the field.

"Beep beep..." (I can't hold on any longer...)

"What? Deoxys, what happened to you? Were you injured in the attack just now?" Ash asked anxiously.

Deoxys was indeed injured, but not from being attacked by Nakia's Pokémon.

It's an injury from when Ash attacked me earlier.

Of course, we must also add the aftereffects of being affected by the meteorite explosion in space yesterday, leaving me barely alive.

It hadn't fully recovered to begin with, and after moving around for a bit, it was already exhausted.

It really wants to go back to Ash's system space and frantically tear apart the energy crystals there!

"Hey, you alien, I have a feeling you're thinking about something really bad."

"Beep beep!" (Absolutely not!)

"Your eyes are hard to believe!"

At this moment, Ash glanced at Altaria, which was almost fully charged, and immediately shouted to Deoxys.

"In that case, Deoxys, let's switch forms and become defensive!"

In its attack form, Deoxys's pitifully weak Defense and Special Defense would make it absolutely one-hit kill.

But then our aliens shook their heads.

"Beep beep... beep..." (No energy... can't do it...)

"What?!"

Ash didn't know that Deoxys needs to consume a huge amount of energy to change forms.

Moreover, each transformation is a great test of a Deoxys's ability to accurately control its own body cells.

Often only the strongest individuals in a group can master the ability to quickly change forms during battle.

For a normal Deoxys, it's already quite impressive that it can transform its form once before a battle.

As for Ash's Deoxys, it simply cannot change into various forms at will during battles.

Of course, if you want it to do that, then Xiao Zhi will need to provide it with a lot of natural energy.

In short, if you're low on energy, please send money!

Looking into Deoxys' bright eyes, Ash immediately understood what it was thinking.

"I know, I know... They're all gold-devouring beasts. You'll get enough energy crystals later."

It's just a gym challenge right now, and Ash is a little reluctant to take it out immediately. He'll deal with it later.

Deoxys was able to take Altaria away in this battle, so his mission can be considered complete.

Ash immediately changed the command, "Deoxys, use the final Psychic Hammer!"

"Beep~" (Yes~)

Seeing that Ash had no intention of taking out the Natural Energy Crystal, Deoxys shook its head in disappointment.

But in the end, it obediently followed Ash's command and rushed forward.

However, the movements and the speed... showed absolutely no sign of the weakness and exhaustion he had just displayed due to his severe injuries.

"So all that weakness before was an act, right?"

"Beep beep~" (Absolutely not~)

That cunning alien!

At that moment, Naki also shouted.

"Go, Tanabata Bluebird, unleash the most powerful Heavenly Dragon Meteor!"

"Yo!"

"Di Di!"

The attacks of the two Pokémon were launched simultaneously.

Deoxys charged forward and knocked Altaria away, while Altaria unleashed an astonishing display of willpower.

The moment he was knocked away, the Heavenly Dragon Meteor from his mouth shot directly into Deoxys's face.

A series of explosions rang out, and a fierce wind raged across the surrounding area.

No wonder the battle arena at the Lilycove Gym is located high in the sky; if the battle were to take place on the ground, the surrounding forest would surely be barren.

As the battlefield calmed down and the smoke slowly dissipated, both Pokémon collapsed at the same time.

Chapter 474 Does having a flash of light mean you can do whatever you want?

"Aladdin and Deoxys are both unable to fight, so this match is a draw!"

As soon as the referee's voice fell, Ash and Natchet immediately recalled their Pokémon into their Poké Balls.

"Deoxys has truly fallen."

So the aliens weren't lying after all. Ash felt a moment of guilt for misunderstanding them. (Deoxys: Just a second?)

The game is now completely tied; the outcome will depend on this final match.

Ash and Nakia simultaneously threw out their Poké Balls, sending out their last Pokémon.

"Go, Great Swan!" ×2

"Sparta!" x2

"Both of them actually sent out King Swallows!"

Seeing the two Pokémon burst out of their Poké Balls, Masahiro exclaimed in surprise.

May's attention, however, was completely drawn to Nakia's Pokémon.

"Look, Miss Naki's giant swallow seems to have a different color!"

"It's a shiny Swellow?" Ash, who was on the floating platform, was also looking at the bright green Swellow opposite him. As he looked at it, he couldn't help but say this.

"The colors are so beautiful."

This Swellow is twice the size of its kind, and its aura is even more powerful than the two Pokémon before Nachi.

"It seems that this giant swallow is Naki's trump card."

However, when it comes to sheer presence, Ash's Swellow is in no way inferior.

As a muscular swallow that he meticulously crafted, Ash's Swellow is in no way inferior in size, and is even slightly larger than Shiny Swellow.

In terms of body curves, Ash's Swellow completely outclasses Ash, appearing incredibly strong and graceful.

When Naki saw Ash's Swellow appear, she immediately showed an admiring look.

"I didn't expect your last Pokémon to be a Swellow, Ash. That's quite a surprise."

"Of course, now that we've come all the way to the Yuen Yu Dojo, which is known as the holy land of flight, how can we not let my Swellow take a flight with me?"

"Naki, let's make this clear beforehand: my Great Swan is incredibly strong, and we're definitely getting the White Feather Badge!"

Swellow flew to Ash's side, and both Ash and the Pokémon's eyes sharpened.

"Is that so? I'm looking forward to seeing how strong that kid is, but I won't hand over the badge so easily."

"Even Ash, who has done a great favor for our Lilycove City, is the same to you."

At that moment, Nachi's shiny Swellow was also staring at Ash's Swellow. Upon discovering that their opponent was of the same kind, the two Pokémon simultaneously ignited a stronger fighting spirit than usual.

"Let me see what makes this shiny Pokémon so special. Swellow, use Aerial Ace!"

The starting signal for the match rang out, and Ash's team was the first to move.

With a flap of its wings, Ash's Swellow vanished from its spot.

A moment later, the sound of a sharp object slicing through the air rang out from behind the Shining King Swallow.

"Such speed!" Naki exclaimed in surprise.

Ash and Swellow have already mastered the skill of U-turn to perfection.

Before the enemy could even register what was happening, the giant swallow's hard beak had already struck its opponent's back before the sound could be heard.

However, Naki and Swellow are not to be underestimated either.

Shiny Swellow is Nakia's strongest ace Pokémon, being the strongest in both level and power.

Even when faced with a skill like Swallow Return that is theoretically guaranteed to hit, the Flash King Swallow showed no sign of panic.

It instantly puffed up the feathers on its back and, taking advantage of the wind high in the sky, glided away.

"Its aerial skills are amazing." The muscular man had never seen such a flight before.

Even with Ash's Swellow's high speed, it only managed to peck at a few of its opponent's feathers, failing to unleash the full power of its attack on Nakie's Shiny Swellow.

"Ash, your Swellow is undoubtedly top-notch in both speed and attack, but I am the genius flying master of Lilycove City."

"You won't find it so easy to catch my Great Swallow!"

"Great Swallow, peck attack!"

Naki's title as a genius flying messenger is truly well-deserved; the flying posture displayed by the Shiny King Swellow in the air can be described as flawless.

This shimmering giant swallow was already far faster than its kind, and it also possessed amazing flying skills.

Before Ash's Swellow could react, the Shiny Swellow, which was flying above him, was already beneath him in a single glance.

The head of the Shining King Yan moved so fast that it left afterimages, as if it had used a multi-shadow clone technique targeting the head.

The peck attack violently rammed into the chest of Ash's Swellow.

The pecking attack, the most basic and unadorned attack among Flying-type birds, which any bird could use, was wielded by Swellow with the ferocity of a secret technique.
