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

"Okay, 10,000 it is!"

"Yaru!" (Don't agree!)

Unfortunately, the hyperactive ape's cries didn't reach Ash and Jinbe's ears at all. Ash forcibly dragged it to a sandbag and started training with great enthusiasm.

"Hurry up and get to the point, we're pressed for time and have a heavy task, we need to learn the skills within two days."

"But it's okay, I'll be with you from beginning to end. Let's speed things up and push our bodies to their limits!"

Ash's healing abilities are definitely strong, ensuring that the hyperactive Slaking won't suffer any hidden injuries.

But the pain during the process is unavoidable; it's a necessary mental baptism for every muscular man before he grows up.

"Yaruk!" (Big brother Pikachu, help me!)

"Pika, pika pika." (That's how the new young guy is, enjoy it.)

Big Brother Pikachu refused Little Brother Hyperactive Speech's request for help and gave him a meaningful look.

Then he jumped out of Ash's backpack, took out a bottle of ketchup, and watched the show with great interest while slurping it down.

"Yaru Ke—!"

……

—Mount Tai pressing down—

With Jinbe's professional guidance and Ash's close encouragement, the hyperactive ape made rapid progress.

The final result was perfect.

[Ding! Hyperactive Ape: Affection +5; Intimacy +5]

[Ding! Congratulations to the hyperactive ape for learning new skills: Kickdown; Bodybuilding; Absorb Punch]

Ash and his hyperactive monkey trained very hard for the past three days. Apart from going back to eat and sleep, they spent all their time at Jinbe's training ground.

That's why mastering the skill was so smooth.

Moreover, because Ash stayed here, he attracted May and Kana as well, and they accompanied Ash to the training ground for their special training.

When Grandpa Jinbe saw this, he exclaimed that the younger generation was truly formidable.

However, our purest and least lustful Satoshi was not affected by anything external and devoted himself to practicing his special moves.

(Forcing true!)

The fact that a certain purple-haired girl couldn't resist Ash's charm and would sneak into his room every night with her Pooh to use hypnosis is, of course, not Ash's fault.

(Note: Actually, Ash's favorite hair color is purple.)

Ash: "Hey, that's slander!"

He was so busy training that he didn't even have time to watch Haruka's first round of judging at the Water Seijin Grand Prix a few days later.

When Ash rushed to the venue with his Apexisk, who had basically finished learning, the competition had already entered the second half of the second round.

Chapter 481 Do you know what Ash tastes like?

"How was Xiaosheng? How did the match go, Xiaoyao?"

"Ash, you're too slow to come back!"

Seeing that Ash was late, Max complained a few times before quickly making way for him to sit down, and then introduced the current situation of May's competition.

"I was worried that my sister would panic since you weren't here, but she behaved exceptionally well this time!"

"With the perfect pairing with the Mighty Chicken, she easily passed the first round of inspection. She used all the skills she had learned in her previous training."

"The enormous fire vortex that was unleashed during the first round of review scored 29 points; you really should take a look."

Xiao Sheng's face still held a hint of excitement when he talked about Xiao Yao's performance.

"My sister also won her next two matches very quickly and has now made it to the finals."

"Really? That's wonderful."

Ash clapped his hands happily. It seems that May and Combusken have a very deep bond, and they are fighting hard for each other.

Otherwise, such a smooth and positive outcome wouldn't have been possible.

At that moment, the headshots of the two finalists of the competition were finally displayed on the large screen on the central stage of the venue.

Unexpectedly, the two sides facing off were Haruka and Kana.

"Kana has also made it to the finals?"

"Of course, Kana's Popoo is really powerful. She defeats her opponents cleanly and efficiently, especially Popoo's Nen ability, which is extremely strong."

Xiao Sheng is now a little worried about how Xiao Yao will defeat her later.

"That Poopoo Pig will definitely be a formidable opponent for Mighty Chicken."

Upon hearing this, Ash nodded in agreement, having firsthand experience with Pooppi's strength.

After all, he had been enduring the hypnotic spell of Pupu Pig for the past few nights.

Although it can't actually hypnotize Ash, Pooppi's psychic abilities are definitely among the best of its kind.

Moreover, Kana's strength is also outstanding...

However, Ash still had confidence in May, and he immediately looked towards the stage, where May and her friends finally appeared.

As the stage lift rose, Xiaoyao immediately spotted Xiaozhi in the audience and waved to him with delight, but then quickly refocused her attention on the competition.

Kana, on the other hand, also winked at Ash before immediately regaining her focus.

Now that the crucial moment for the competition for the Ribbon Medal has arrived, both naturally lively girls have become more composed.

"Xiaoyao, I'm so glad we've become friends these past few days. It's been so long since I've had such a happy time with someone."

"Especially because of you, I was able to meet Xiaozhi. You know, last night he praised me for being so great, for being able to eat it all!"

Kana licked her lips and gave a mischievous smile.

"What, what should we eat?!"

"Of course it's the kind you're thinking of~ delicious stuff~, and it's huge!" (Referring to an extra-long sushi roll, genuinely!)

"You, you, you... How could you say such shameless things here!"

It's a long-standing tradition for opponents to exchange pleasantries before a match, but Haruka never expected Kana to say something so shocking before the game.

It completely threw her into a state of confusion.

Ash, who was sitting in the audience, was also startled, but he remained calm on the surface. He had been hypnotized and was asleep, so he didn't know anything.

"Hehehe, Xiaoyao is so cute."

Seeing Haruka blush, Kana immediately revealed a mischievous expression, looking as if her scheme had succeeded.

"Psychological warfare a great success, Haruka. Friendship is friendship, and competition is competition. I will absolutely not hold back!"

"Damn it, she lied to me on purpose!" (No, she didn't.)

May immediately realized what was happening, and at the same time, she complained to Ash in her heart.

It's all because of him that I know too much about "adult things," otherwise I definitely wouldn't have made those connections before.

"It's all that bad guy's fault!"

The two players simultaneously released Poopoo and Mighty Chicken, and the match officially began.

"Flame Vortex!"

Right from the start, Haruka took the initiative to give the first command, and Mighty Chicken immediately stomped his feet heavily on the ground, lowering his center of gravity with a horse stance.

A fiery rope instantly gathered power in its mouth, then snaked out like a giant python, forming a huge vortex that attacked Pupu Pig.

The host, Vivian, and the judges all showed expressions of amazement.

The attack was spectacular and earned Xiaoyao a lot of points.

"sharp."

Although she knew that Haruka was a strong fighter, Kana realized that she had underestimated Haruka and her powerful chicken when they actually faced each other.

"But Pupu Pig and I aren't pushovers either," the purple-haired girl smiled slightly.

"Puffpoo, use Iron Tail!"

The pig's tail, as springy as a spring, straightened instantly, and Poopo Pig displayed amazing jumping power, leaping into the air. Its tail, gleaming with metallic luster, spun and lashed out at the vortex of flames.

It actually shattered the Mighty Chicken's massive fire vortex.

Because Haruka was flustered, the timing and direction of the Mighty Chicken's attack were not very good, and Kana took the opportunity to give Haruka a taste of her own medicine.

Xiaoyao's score was immediately reduced by one level.

"Wow, Iron Tail is so powerful! It can even break up Combusken's Flame Vortex by going against its type!" Max exclaimed in surprise.

He hadn't seen that the Poopo's performance was this strong before, and Kana actually chose to hide her strength in order to deal with Haruka.

Kana is actually a skilled Coordinator trainer who excels in battles.

However, just as the vortex of flames was dispersed and sparks flew everywhere, a large, bright foot flew and kicked the still-smiling Pupu Pig in the face.

"what?"

"A million-ton kick!!!"

"Chapter!"

Before the pig could even land, it was sent flying in a sorry state by this kick, which was incredibly powerful.

"Hmph, Kana, you can't defeat me with mind control. I've already calmed down."

May trained alongside Ash all along, and her control over fighter jets is unmatched by any other Coordinator.

Most importantly, the evolved Combusken is no longer the same as the original Torchic.

Having shed its timidity, the strong chicken is a born warrior. Before Xiaoyao even gave the order, its body moved on its own due to its fighting instincts.

At the moment of attack, Mighty Chicken also used the flames scattered by Poopoo Pig to perfectly display its body in mid-air.

This successfully earned Haruka a large number of points from Kana.
