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

Unlike most people, Kacchan had seen the world through his relationship with Satoshi, so he was naturally able to strike up a conversation with Genji very easily.

"Although Genji looks incredibly tough on the outside, he is actually a warm-hearted person despite his cold exterior," he said with a light laugh.

"If you're asking why I'm in Green Ridge City, it's because my fleet happened to be resting at this port."

"But if you ask me why I'm here next to you, I'm actually here to see you, the boy in the baseball cap with Pikachu."

Genji's sharp gaze instantly pierced Satoshi.

Chapter 496 Dragon System Civil War

Facing Genji's terrifying gaze, Ash fearlessly met his eyes.

"stare……"

"stare……"

The two seemed to be in a scene from a Western movie, facing off with guns drawn, making everyone around them gasp in shock.

"The atmosphere between them is terrifying."

"Shh! Sister, don't talk at a time like this."

The two little ones quickly and quietly hid to the side, and then Ash spoke first.

“Mr. Genji of the Four Heavenly Kings, although I don’t know what you want to see me about, it doesn’t matter. I only have one request now.”

"So, please accept my challenge!" Ash didn't care about anything else; he just wanted a good battle.

Unexpectedly, the other party brought up this topic right away, and Genji laughed instead.

"Haha, Daigo and Michael were right after all, you are a very interesting young man."

"I secretly watched many of your battles with the trainers from Mossdeep City. You are excellent in both Pokémon training and command."

"A trainer of your caliber shouldn't be bullying younger trainees here."

Genji adjusted his hat brim and generously took out a wad of cash, handing it to the shop manager who was secretly hiding under the shop window, and paid for Satoshi and the others.

"To better understand Pokémon, I've been battling every day, dedicating my life's energy to the Dragon-type Pokémon that saved me..."

"I accept your challenge!"

"How about it? If you don't mind, let me invite you to come and have some fun on my ship."

"After all, you and Mr. A-Lv helped the Hoenn League solve the two major problems of Team Magma and Team Aqua, and we haven't properly thanked you yet."

"Let me, the first of the Four Heavenly Kings, be the representative."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sheng jumped up first.

"Wow, really? You're inviting us aboard your Dragon Ship, the treasure ship of the men of the sea? I want to go! I want to go!"

He hadn't jumped around for long before Xiaoyao immediately pinned him down.

"Seriously, Xiaosheng, don't act like you've never seen the world before. By the way, is Uncle Genji a captain?"

Xiaoyao thought his captain's hat was a cosplay outfit, after all, Genji wore it, so unrestrained and wild...

Genji saw through her thoughts, but he wasn't angry; he just spoke very casually.

"Yes, little girl, my main duty is to protect the safety of the Hoenn Ocean."

"I can't do my job well without a boat, and I love the feeling of sailing on the sea."

"So, Xiao Zhi, what do you think?"

"Of course, no problem!"

This is a rare opportunity to battle the Elite Four, and Ash is naturally very happy about it.

"It's precisely this kind of opponent that makes the fight so interesting!"

He first ran to the Pokémon Center to contact Professor Oak and asked him to send over the Pokémon he needed. Then he quickly met up with May and Max, who had just finished cleaning up the leftovers.

The group quickly followed Genji to Green Ridge Harbor, where a huge, luxurious black and gold sailboat sailed by.

Wow, what an amazing ship!

Unlike ordinary steel ships, it resembled a large sailing ship from a pirate movie Xiao Zhi had seen in his previous life—quite unique.

"These are the men of the sea."

Soon the large sailboat docked, and a tall man in a sailor's uniform on the bow lookout immediately waved to the crowd on the dock.

"Captain, everything is ready, and we can set sail at any time."

"very good."

Genji stood at the front with his arms crossed and expressionless, but he did introduce the young man to Satoshi and the others, which was unusual for him.

“That kid, Liang Guang, is my top disciple and also a very reliable deputy.”

"Let's go, young men. I know your next destination is Izabe Island. My ship happens to be passing by on the way, and I can help take you to the transit port on Wilts Island."

"This will save us half the cost of the voyage!" Ash exclaimed happily.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Genji."

The group was happily welcomed aboard the ship by Genji.

This ship not only looks huge on the outside, but its decks are also very spacious, no smaller than a large stadium.

As soon as Xiao Sheng went up there, he was curious about everything. "The masts here are so thick, they look very sturdy."

"Of course, our ship is fearless of any storm at sea." A rare proud smile appeared on Genji's usually serious face.

He then reached out and pressed a button on the horizontal bar next to him, and a battle arena immediately rose up on the deck.

"Come on, Ash, let's begin. I'll give it my all in this battle."

"Oh, bring it on!"

Ash and Genji excitedly ran onto the battlefield, much to the surprise of the surrounding sailors.

"I've never seen the teacher so interested in a match today, except when he was preparing for the championship challenge."

Liang Guang quickly went over to act as the referee.

At this moment, Genji said, "Ash, next we'll have a singles battle. You can use 3 Pokémon. The side whose Pokémon all fall down first wins. Is that alright?"

"of course."

"That's good."

After all, facing an opponent like Ash, Genji's fighting spirit was ignited.

Although it's not an official Elite Four challenge, he still chose to receive Ash with a semi-official reception.

Soon after, at the command of the referee, Yoshimitsu, the two simultaneously sent their first Pokémon onto the battlefield.

"Wow, it's a three-on-three battle between Ash and the Elite Four! I wonder what Pokémon Ash and Mr. Genji will bring out."

"Ash is very familiar with Pokémon. As one of the Dragon Elite Four, Mr. Genji will definitely bring out a Dragon-type Pokémon, right?"

Xiaoyao pulled out popcorn and cola from somewhere and quickly sat down in the best spectator seat.

Xiao Sheng was already used to her older sister's exaggerated behavior.

"Sis, when we talk about the Elite Four, we're referring to the type that trainer is best at. It doesn't mean that the trainer actually only has one type of Pokémon."

"Those who can reach the Elite Four are all extraordinary individuals. Just to create various team compositions, they need a wide variety of Pokémon of different types."

"Mr. Genji should still have a lot of non-Dragon-type Pokémon."

"There is such a thing."

"Of course!"

As expected, unlike the Dodo, which is known as the Dragon Messenger but is actually the Flying-type Champion, Genji's main team is indeed full of Dragon-type Pokémon.

"Go for it, my first partner to brave the waves is you, Poisonous Algae Dragon!"

"Poisonous noise!"

A Pokémon with a huge body and an appearance that resembled a combination of dried seaweed and a seahorse appeared on the battlefield.

"Wow, that's amazing! It's a Pokémon I've never seen before!"

Upon seeing such a rare Pokémon, Max jumped up excitedly.

Xiaoyao quickly took out her Pokédex to scan it, only to find that there was no information about Hoenn in the Pokédex.

It was also thanks to Genji's disciples who kindly explained things from the side.

"This Pokémon is called Toxapex. It was a partner that my master obtained a long time ago when he was patrolling Kalos. It is a Poison/Dragon type and is quite a powerful creature."

"Moreover, it has a very bad temper. We just accidentally wandered into its territory and it almost corroded the entire cabin when it was still a piece of algae."

"Its venom is so potent!"

May and Max were immediately surprised and began to secretly worry about Ash.

Ash's first Pokémon was Dragonite, a member of his team who hadn't appeared in official battles for a long time!

"I choose you, Dragonite! Our opponent is one of the Elite Four, so we can't afford to be careless!"

"Ah oh!"

Ash showed Genji a lot of respect, as Dragonite was the ace in his main team.

Upon its appearance, the cute expression on Dragonite's face instantly disappeared, replaced by seriousness and ferocity.

Instantly switch to the combat face area.

The Dragonite, with its absolute speed advantage, naturally took the first strike, with Ash and Dragonite making their move first.

"Dragonite, use Scale Shot!"

"Ah oh!"

Scale Shot is a special move in which Dragonite attaches energy to its own scales and then launches the scales to attack its opponent.

Although this move has weak single-hit damage, its dense attack can often be hit 2 to 5 times in a single attack.

The reason why Ash didn't choose to use the more powerful Dragon Claw, but instead chose Scale Shot.
