Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

"The power of the special move has increased so much?!" Lila was immediately surprised.

Since Ash hadn't officially caught Lapras, he had only been giving it basic training. But the effect of this water gun attack was as if it had been honed through countless trials!

"Huh?" The little dragon who had unleashed the attack was also dumbfounded, unable to believe that this was actually its own masterpiece!

But soon, it became somewhat downcast again.

If I could have mastered this power in the past, I probably could have easily defeated those pirates.

That way, the community wouldn't be harmed, and they wouldn't have to be separated from their parents.

After experiencing immense power, Xiao Chenglong, who initially only wanted to find his parents, gradually began to have a desire to become stronger...

“Let’s stay on Ponkan Island for a few days. I want to study this change.”

This crystal could only be charged at Crystal Cave, and based on the principle that 'training is more important than travel,' Ash decisively postponed his challenge trip to Shagan Island.

In the following days, they set up tents on this outlying island, and Ash began to let different Pokémon come into contact with the crystal, trying to find out its exact mechanism of action.

He soon discovered that this thing was indeed a universal item, and all three Pokémon could use it... except for Crystal Onix.

It seems that because it has been with this crystal for many years, its attributes and abilities have completely changed, and it will no longer undergo the temporary changes that other Pokémon do.

The Pokémon's transformations are basically the same as Lapras's; they can have their attributes enhanced by that crystal.

Before Lapras became a pure Water-type, the power of its STAB moves increased significantly, even leading Ash to suspect it had activated the Adaptability ability.

In comparison, Pikachu's situation is quite special. It has become a Flying-type, which is unrelated to its own type, and has also learned the Fly move!

After crystallizing, Pikachu gains a Same Type Attack Bonus when using this move, and the crystal doesn't seem to conflict with items; the Electric Ball's boost effect also applies!

Can you imagine a tiny electric mouse that, after swooping down from the sky, can create an earth-shattering effect? ​​Pikachu is one such example.

If this change becomes the norm, Ground-type Pokémon will basically be helpless against Pikachu when they encounter it again.

This discovery also prompted Ash to immediately change his training plan, shifting from exploring the principles of crystals to specifically training Pikachu's Flying move!

With his current knowledge, he is no longer able to study this crystal further; the work should now fall to scholars like Professor Oak.

Ash compiled his findings and some photos into an email, sent it to Professor Oak, and then waited for a reply.

He didn't use the crystal recklessly afterward; an immature power system can't be used in combat, especially in formulaic battles.

After you use it, you don't know how to explain it to the referee, and the only outcome is that you are penalized for cheating and lose.

Therefore, the only purpose of this crystal now is to help Pikachu fully master the flying move.

If a Pokémon repeatedly uses the same move, its proficiency will naturally increase, and even if it's not its own type, it will eventually master it.

Pikachu has never been able to naturally master the Flying move like the other distributed Pikachu in the game, and therefore cannot be further developed in terms of attributes like Alakazam.

But now it has such an opportunity; after these days of training, Pikachu has finally managed to learn to fly...

It's real flight, not just a simple flying trick!

Without using that crystal, Pikachu is indeed unable to skillfully generate Flying-type energy, but it can now take off using electromagnetic levitation and then gradually transition into flight mode!

This flying state is not limited by the number of turns. As long as Pikachu has enough stamina, it can float in the air for as long as it wants, and it can also complete the high-altitude charging of the flying move and launch an attack from mid-air!

Unfortunately, it only has this one attack power left. After landing, it will have to use electromagnetic levitation again to gradually regain its ability to fly.

But for Pikachu, whose strength has reached a bottleneck, this is undoubtedly an important path to becoming stronger, which explains why it reacts even when a spoon is bent.

Ash was absolutely certain that once Pikachu mastered the Fly move, it would be able to use it as a foundation to complete the final Partner Move, which would allow it to gracefully fall!

At that time, it will be able to completely transform and evolve into a partner Pikachu with a significant increase in overall base stats!

After completing this stage of their training, Ash and his friends were finally able to continue their journey...

"Hmm, what's this?" Just before setting off, Xiaoxia suddenly caught a message in a bottle.

If anyone knows anything about the Crystal Onix, please tell me! Ponkan Island, so beautiful~

"Since we're all on the same island, let's go take a look. It would be good if we could help out."

Honestly, if it weren't for this message in a bottle, Xiaozhi would have completely overlooked the brother and sister who ran the glass shop.

It's just along the way anyway, and if it can really inspire young craftsmen, it would be a wonderful story...

As for the final result, everyone was naturally happy. Ash also asked a glass craftsman named Agon to make glassware of pink Butterfree and Starmie.

"Let's take these two; they're their favorite Pokémon."

"Hmm..." Upon hearing Xiaozhi's words, Xiaoxia couldn't help but blush slightly.

Her favorite Pokémon is Starmie, something she's only mentioned occasionally, but Ash actually remembered it.

And what about the perfume from before… Shouldn’t I give her something in return?

"Wait, let's make a few more... Please make me one each of Jigglypuff, Togepi, Alakazam, Bellossom, and Chansey."

Xiaoxia: ...

Seeing the familiar scene of everyone being showered with rain, Xiaoxia's earlier感动 (feeling of being touched) vanished instantly.

Why don't you make another electric dog... and add a Blastoise too!

Chapter 262 Xiagan Island, Xiao Jian Makes His Appearance

On the azure sea, three Water-type Pokémon are sailing comfortably in a row.

Two girls rode Gyarados at the front, followed by a boy and his Blastoise. On the back of the Blastoise was a small, light blue dragon that kept waving its arms and legs.

Following at the very end was a small dragon, which was also shaking its head and imitating the movements of the little dragon in front of it in a slightly silly manner.

"Lapras, exaggerate your movements a bit more! You're already doing quite well, you'll learn it soon!" Ash encouraged from atop Blastoise's back. "Lapras, you too, jump even more energetically!"

"Baby~" Upon hearing what Xiao Zhi said, Ironhead Baby immediately went wild and did a backflip on the spot.

"Ugh..." Chenglong's expression froze; he suddenly couldn't figure it out...

It has now started practicing its special moves, and it even asked for it to do so.

Perhaps because he really wanted to become stronger, when leaving Ponkan Island, Lapras entrusted Ash with the task of getting further training.

Ash readily agreed, but he also made his own request to Lapras... which was also his request for all handheld items.

Obey orders in battle, don't slack off in training, and always value your comrades!

"But... why should Xiao Chenglong learn dragon dance?" Xiaoxia asked, puzzled.

She's a pretty good trainer now, so she knows that in the mainstream opinion, Dragon Dance is more suitable for trainers like Gyarados that rely on high-speed physical attacks to rush in, but she's never heard of Lapras being used like that.

"Because I didn't want to raise them to be all the same," Ash explained. "Lapras that migrate between Orange Island and the waters around Johto don't actually inherit many good skills if they always live in groups. If we follow the traditional breeding methods, even Lorelei's breeding methods, it will seem a bit monotonous, so I decided to change my approach."

"So it also has to follow the Dragon Dance speed-attack enhancement route?" Xiaoxia asked curiously.

As a Water-type Trainer, she was very interested in Ash's approach to training Lapras.

During the previous championship finals, she had seen Kona's Lapras. Kona had actually broken away from the traditional water shield usage, opting instead for a powerful finishing move combining mental interference and Absolute Zero. Her fighting style was simply overwhelmingly domineering!

Now she's also curious to see what new tricks Xiaozhi will come up with.

“Dragon Dance is only one aspect. Lapras has the potential to become a versatile fighter, and by strengthening tactics, it can also produce different styles of play,” Ash explained. “The main reason for learning Dragon Dance first is that we have a ready-made teacher in Pokémon.”

Baby Dragon's dragon dance is innate and inherited. By riding the dragon and imitating it, you will eventually learn the most authentic dance steps... Of course, this excludes some moves that you can't do.

For example, a backflip would be quite difficult for Ridge Dragon.

"Well, we've had enough dancing... Lapras, let's switch to singing. Baby Dragon can just shout along."

After the two little ones danced wildly for a while, a melodious tune began to float on the sea—it was the song sung by Chenglong.

However, what's a bit discordant is that there's always a voice that's almost screaming and cracking during the high notes.

"Is he practicing high notes?" Lila immediately saw through Ash's plan. This was obviously to lay the foundation for his Bagon to evolve into Mega Salamence.

After practicing singing and dancing all the way, the group soon arrived at Xiagan Island.

This island is located to the west of the Orange Islands. Most of the island is covered by forests and mountains, while the city is squeezed to the edge of the island.

However, this is good news for Ash, at least he doesn't have to keep holding up Lapras to attract attention.

Anyway, the Xiagan Dojo is located by the sea, so we can just have Lapras advance along the coast...

"Brother, it seems something's happened over there." After choosing a landing spot, Lila noticed a commotion on the shore.

"Let's go take a look." Xiao Zhi's heart skipped a beat when he saw a young man in a green shirt and shorts in the distance.

It was him, wasn't it...?

"Let me see, you guys hold off for now... Hmm, this Spearow is 0.8 meters long and a bit chubby; Beedrill's coloration is obviously not very good; Hitmonlee's muscle strength is also insufficient... In short, your Pokémon training is completely inadequate!"

The young man in green was lying on the ground, observing and measuring the three Pokémon, giving his evaluations in a stern voice, completely unaware of the increasingly angry faces of the three trainers opposite him.

"What did you say?" "Why should you interfere in our affairs?!" "You little brat, are you looking for a beating?!"

Pokémon are being criticized and judged in various ways, and mostly negatively. These three guys are ready to roll up their sleeves and beat up the young man, leaving him with a face full of peach blossoms (a Chinese idiom for being overwhelmed with affection).

"No... how could you do this?" the young man immediately protested, "I was just telling the truth, I didn't do anything wrong..."

"You still dare to say that?!" *3

"Could you please stop?" Ash suddenly stepped forward and blocked the young man's path. "He was just conducting an evaluation and didn't mean to look down on you... although his evaluation was indeed a bit blunt."

"And who are you, kid?" "Get lost!" "Or I'll beat you up too!"
