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

"No, Yao, we can't go to this restaurant. Ever since it made it onto the travel guide list, the food there has gotten worse and worse."

"Ah, I see."

"It seems like this restaurant can't be praised enough, just like my sister."

"No way!" Xiaoyao blushed instantly.

"But what are we going to do for lunch?"

Ash wants to buy ridiculously expensive food from the system store, but he doesn't want to cook it himself, and the center is too far away... What a dilemma!

"If no one has had lunch yet, I have a better place to go."

At this moment, Kana closed one eye and revealed a playful expression.

"There?"

"When it comes to stews, my mom makes the best ones in my family. I guarantee they're just as good as the ones in restaurants!"

To thank Ash for his help, Kana decided to invite them to her home for dinner.

Ash touched his hungry stomach and immediately decided to go.

And it turns out that Kana's family owns an energy cube shop.

Her mother usually sells tree fruits and also works part-time as a training class teacher, teaching newcomers how to make energy cubes.

This made Xiaoyao extremely happy.

After greeting Kana and her mother, and having a satisfying meal, she immediately went to ask Kana's mother to teach her how to make energy cubes suitable for her Pokémon.

"Ash used to make all my Pokémon Energy Cubes for me, but I can't always rely on him. I have to grow too!"

This involves the bond between trainers and Pokémon; how can we keep relying on others for it?

"That's right, May. As the saying goes, every unique recipe embodies the memories of the Pokémon and its trainer. We support you."

Ash and Max were both pleased that May had such awareness and expressed their willingness to help.

Then, they were all poisoned by Xiaoyao.

"My God, what is this smell?!"

"That's terrifying! It actually managed to pierce my tongue, which I've honed to perfection!"

"Hey, do you guys have to overreact like this?!"

With great difficulty and under the guidance of Kana's mother, Haruka finally completed her first energy cube with her own designed ingredients.

She had just excitedly given the food to her Pokémon and Ash to try, but when she saw their reaction after eating it, she was so angry that her face turned red.

Reluctantly picking one up and licking it, Xiaoyao's face instantly turned purple.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey... It's so bitter."

Her Pokémon also gave it a try.

"Qia Mao?!"

"seed?!"

"mushroom?!"

……

After eating the energy cubes given to them by May, all the Pokémon collapsed and couldn't get up.

It seems that only the Swallowtail Butterfly was satisfied with the water in which the specially ground energy cubes from Haruka were soaked, and ate them with great relish.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao immediately hung her head in dejection.

"Ah, it's alright, Xiaoyao. It's normal for a newbie to fail on their first try."

"As long as you remember the recipe, and gradually make modifications and adjustments according to your Pokémon's personality and constitution, you will definitely be able to make a flavor that your Pokémon likes."

When Kana saw the pretty older sister looking down, she immediately went over to comfort her.

But at this moment, Xiaoyao shyly twirled her fingers in front of her beautiful big breasts.

"But I've accidentally forgotten the recipe I used to make the energy cube."

"what?"

Kana finally understands what the "idiot beauty" in the book means.

Although Xiaoyao is sometimes careless, she has a very strong will and quickly regained her energy to try again from the beginning.

Upon seeing May tinkering with a new "weapon of mass destruction," Ash immediately decided, "Let's make a run for it."

He didn't want to eat Haruka's energy cubes again, so he quickly and secretly tapped Kana on the shoulder.

"Kana, where in Lilycove City can you find a lot of wild Pokémon Trainers?"

"Wild... appearing in large numbers... isn't that a word usually used to describe Pokémon?"

Kana felt that the trainers' attitudes during Ash's conversations were a bit strange.

However, she didn't take it too seriously and happily sold her friends from her hometown.

"Pokémon trainers of the same age here usually like to exchange their experiences in Pokémon training and battling in the park not far from the Pokémon Center."

"Moreover, I heard that you can occasionally run into an old man who is a super famous master of special moves there."

"The old man who taught the ultimate techniques?"

"I heard he's an old man who's very good at teaching Pokémon all sorts of special moves, so he's known as the 'Move Master Grandpa,' but..."

Before Kana could finish speaking, Ash had already excitedly rushed out.

He never expected that there was such a treasure trove in Water Town; he had to hurry up and explore it!

Kana could only shout at Ash's retreating figure as he ran away.

"Ash, that old man who teaches the special move has a strange temper and won't teach others easily."

"It's alright, as long as I meet him, I will conquer him!"

"You don't usually need to conquer elders, but he's really decisive and efficient; he's a charming man."

Kana is really growing to like May and Ash more and more. It's a pity she's a law-abiding citizen of the League, otherwise she'd love to bring Poochyena along...

"No, no, Kana, how could you be such a wanton woman!"

The purple-haired girl immediately patted her head, trying to calm herself down.

"What's wrong with Kana?"

"No, Haruka~"

Chapter 480 The Master of Ultimate Techniques, the Old Man

"Hyperactive Ape, unleash a concentrated barrage!"

"Get out of the way, you big wolfhound!"

[Ding! Hyperactive Ape: Affection +1; Intimacy +1]

"Damn it, we lost!"

……

In the park of Lilycove City, Ash and his Apexis have been beating up kids all day long.

I just defeated a little mushroom-headed guy and his big wolfhound, completing a 10-game winning streak for hyperactive monkeys.

"Well done, Yuan! Your concentrated strike technique is now very standard."

"Yaru Ke!"

Ash brought out the healing medicine and carefully groomed the fur on the Apexar's body, which was disheveled from the battle.

[Ding! Hyperactive Ape: Affection +2]

Now, most of the people in the park have been beaten into submission by them, and no one dares to stay here for long.

"Are you kidding me? I've only trained three or four Pokémon, and I haven't even had a chance to go through the whole team yet, and there's already no one left?"

"The Pokémon trainers in Lilycove City are no good."

After treating the Saki, Ash looked at the empty plaza around him and shook his head in disappointment.

Ash was actually quite satisfied with the number of matches he had played, but he was a little disappointed that he hadn't yet encountered the legendary master of special moves.

Ash had learned from Kana that the old man who taught him special moves loved to come to the park to watch young trainers battle, so he had been constantly battling there ever since.

They hoped to lure him out, but unfortunately, Ash hasn't seen the old man yet.

"It seems we were destined to be apart."

"Hey, there's a little brat over there wearing shorts and using a Wurmple. He's like a Pikachu and an Apexis! Let's hurry up and bring him a smile!"

"Wait a minute, young man!"

Just as Ash was about to take his friends to teach the young people what the joy of battle was, a loud but slightly aged voice suddenly stopped them.

Xiao Zhi immediately turned around and saw an old man dressed in simple clothes and holding a cane.

The old man quickly walked up to Xiaozhi and immediately spoke in a pleading tone.

"Please, I beg you, stop abusing these young people and let them go!"

What retired seniors rarely enjoy is watching these youthful bodies work up a sweat.

But this cunning outsider ruined his rare moment of enjoyment in just one day.

Several adorable boys were so badly beaten by Ash that their resolve was shattered, and some even considered giving up being Pokémon Trainers altogether.

This was something Jinbe, known as the "Master of Special Techniques," could not tolerate.

In order to protect his retirement life, the old man resolutely stepped forward... to observe in secret.

There's no way around it, Ash gets so excited during battles that his clothes just pop out.

The handsome young man instantly transformed into a muscular, masculine figure; the visual impact was overwhelming.

Those well-developed muscles were intimidating to look at; how could Jinbe dare to challenge Ash head-on?
