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

It pecked Xiaozhi's Swellow so hard it made him dizzy and disoriented.

"Using such a low-power skill like this... that's amazing."

Xiao Sheng below immediately widened his eyes; he had never heard of King Yan possessing the characteristics of a technical expert.

The giant swallow in the sky, relying on its powerful flying skills, skillfully controlled the distance between itself and its opponents.

They could even employ kite-flying tactics in similar civil wars.

It can attack Ash's Swellow, but when Ash's Swellow tries to retaliate, it can't catch it no matter what.

It was so infuriating that both Ash and Swellow were itching to bite.

Ash's Swellow is usually a fast aerial killer when facing other Pokémon, its ghostly figure making it impossible for enemies to catch its whereabouts.

But when faced with Nachi's Shiny Swellow, Ash's Swellow became the big, dumb target.

Swellow was suddenly on the defensive, and its stamina began to drop rapidly. Ash realized that this couldn't go on.

"Great King Yan, let's use Swallow Return one more time!"

"Spar!"

Unfortunately, Ash's Swellow used U-turn again, but only managed to peck at a few blue feathers of its opponent.

Even the Swallow Return, which best utilizes its speed advantage and is guaranteed to hit, has this effect; it's even less likely that Taijutsu's other moves will hit its opponent.

"Damn it, is it this difficult to deal with?" Ash had no choice but to change tactics.

"Great Swan, defensive stance!"

Ash's Swellow immediately folded its wings, puffed out its huge pectoral muscles to act as a shield, blocked all the opponent's attacks, and waited for an opportunity to counterattack.

At that moment, a hint of smugness flashed in Naki's beautiful eyes.

"Well done, Great King Swallow! Use the Steel Wings now!"

In aerial combat, Naki is confident that she will never lose to anyone.

"Swellow puffs out its wings and muscles to protect the front; we'll defend with all our might." Ash and Swellow are still waiting for an opportunity.

The pecking attack of the Glittering Swallow is fierce yet fleeting.

Upon hearing Naki's command, it once again gracefully took flight, performing a frontal dive and spin.

The large, metallic-looking wing struck Swellow on the back of the head at an unexpected angle, knocking it to the ground.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, smoke billowed, and a large crater appeared on the ground.

"Ah, the boss's Great Swallow has been attacked so many times, it's in danger."

"Why are you so nervous, Kojiro? The peck attack and the steel wing aren't very powerful skills, are they?"

Musashi, who was simple-minded and always fought on instinct, was completely oblivious to the current situation and could only tug at Kojiro's sleeve to ask.

"Musashi, while Peck and Steel Wing aren't exactly powerful moves, Swellow isn't just a Pokémon that can only fight long battles."

"The internal wars between the Great Yan kings are often decided by a contest of speed and combat skills, with the outcome determined by a single blow."

This is one of the conclusions Kojiro reached after several months of hard work conducting field ecological observations in the forests of Hoenn.

But is Xiaozhi's Swellow an ordinary Swellow? Of course not.

That rock-hard body is no joke.

The beating it just received really vented its anger.

At this moment, Ash felt the surging Aura emanating from Swellow below, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Alright, finally you've shown your perseverance, Ou Yan!"

"Go for it! Let your opponents see you when you're giving it your all!"

"Spar!"

A loud bird call suddenly came from below, and a strong, black figure instantly soared into the sky.

Those blood-red eyes and the terrifying, dark aura clearly indicated that Ash's Swellow had entered "BUG mode."

With a single dash, the strong wind it generated caused Naki's Shining Swellow to sway precariously.

"How could this be? He hasn't fallen yet?" Naki exclaimed incredulously.

The total damage from the Shiny Swellow's attacks was something no Pokémon could grit their teeth and withstand.

How exactly did Ash train his Swellow?

Naki clenched her fist and immediately shouted at her Pokémon.

"Since the previous attacks weren't enough, let's try again."

"King Swallow, continue with the previous tactics, peck and attack!"

Shiny Swellow's figure remained graceful and agile, and its attacks continued to crash against Ash's Swellow like waves, just as before.

However, now that Ash and Swellow had entered a state of perseverance, they no longer showed any signs of pain as before.

Instead, its face remained calm, it breathed heavily, and its bloodshot eyes were fixed intently on its opponent...

King Yan, your killing intent is burning!

It circled in the sky with the Swellow relentlessly pursuing it, while simultaneously allowing the Swellow to launch its attacks.

In the midst of this relentless onslaught, Naki's Swellow finally began to tire.

"That's ridiculous! Just how many attacks did Ash's Swellow take?"

"Why haven't you fallen yet..."

Naki stared with a furrowed brow at Swellow, who was still flying in mid-air like a bird that hadn't done anything wrong.

They're both King Swallows, so why does the other one seem to have an invincible cheat code, impossible to defeat no matter what?

At this moment, the speed of the Shiny Swellow finally slowed down noticeably for a moment during another round of attacks.

At that very moment, Ash and his Swellow seemed to be telepathically in sync, simultaneously seizing the opportunity.

"Spar!"

"Now's the time, Great King Yan, make your move!"

Ash's Swellow braked suddenly and retreated, its figure instantly passing under Shiny Swellow, the tip of its large wing unexpectedly brushing against the base of Shiny Swellow's wing.

Even if the opponent manages to dodge most of the damage using high speed and flight skills, their vital areas are still injured.

This inevitably affected the Giant Swallow's subsequent movements; each flap of its wings added to its pain.

Although Naki's Shiny Swellow is still a Swellow, its perseverance and belligerence allow it to temporarily endure the pain, but its movements are still inevitably deformed.

Xiao Zhi and Da Wang Yan will not let it go.

"Great Swellow, brave bird, attack!"

All the forbearance and anger before finally erupted at this moment, and the Great Swallow unleashed its full power.

At this moment, the body's potential was pushed to its limit, and the speed suddenly became fast enough to break the sound barrier.

The audience, the referees, and even Naki below could no longer track the movements of the Great Swan; all they could hear were the sonic booms echoing in the air.

The giant shimmering swallow had absolutely no chance to react.

At that moment, Naki suddenly shouted.

"Great King Swan, it's too late to dodge! Hyper Beam!"

Even when faced with Ash's terrifying all-out attack from Swellow, Naki still wanted to make a final stand.

The Flash King Swallow immediately unleashed a thick, blackish-yellow laser beam in front of it.

This is its winning move, honed over many years, and now it can only use it as a final, dignified strike.

Unexpectedly, Ash and Swellow did not choose to flank and ambush from behind. Instead, they appeared directly in front of the direction of Swellow's Hyper Beam attack.

"what?"

"Go forth, Great Swallow! We will bravely and fearlessly defeat our opponents head-on!"

"Spar!"

The order was originally given with the idea that we must uphold the dignity of ourselves and our comrades in battle, and I never thought it would hit.

But in the end, the other party didn't dodge at all.

Naki was deeply impressed by this fighting spirit.

[Ding! Naki: Affection +5]

Enveloped in flames from the Brave Bird's fierce attack, the Great Swallow charged headlong into the light.

Shiny Swellow's Hyper Beam is incredibly powerful, but Ash's Swellow's body still smoothly broke through the opponent's Hyper Beam barrier, like a hot knife slicing through butter.

Brave Bird launched a fierce attack, striking the Shiny Swellow completely.

The loudest explosion of the entire battle suddenly rang out in the sky, and everyone around quickly covered their ears.

A moment later, amidst the smoke of battle, the figure of King Yan flashed and landed on the ground.

Ash's Swellow soared to the highest point of the arena, chirping merrily.

[Ding! Da Wang Yan: Favorability +5; Intimacy +5]
