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

So why be afraid of a skill that only deals 40 fixed damage?

"Dragonite, use Thunder Punch!"

"Use the Dragon Claw!"

Fists and claws clashed, and for a moment the air was filled with scattered arcs of electricity. The two dragon beasts gradually became more aggressive, exchanging several blows in the air with their counter skills. Both of their stamina was rapidly depleting!

After a series of clashes, Dragonite actually managed to grab Charizard's body from the front, despite being hit by Charizard's claws!

"Just use Thunder at full power!!!"

boom! !

This was Yuji's desperate attack. Dragonite recklessly released electric energy, and the massive current assaulted Charizard's body, even causing it to show a pained expression!

"Charizard... if you can do it, then give it your all!!" Ash hesitated for a moment, but still didn't use the power of Mega Evolution.

Even without the additional 100 base stats, simply changing the type would greatly reduce the power of Thunder, but Ash still chose to let Charizard take the hit!

This is also Charizard's insistence. Since it said it would fight with all its might, it would never lose in a place like this!

"Roar... Roar!!"

With a furious roar, Charizard suddenly broke free from Dragonite's arms, its entire body glowing with a blazing red light!

It's the intense heat state that comes when physical strength is at its limit!

"Big Font Explosion!!"

Boom!

The flames, now with greatly increased power, erupted at the closest distance. Dragonite had no time to react and was blasted away by the azure flames, its entire body charred black!

"Dragonite...don't give up! Show your willpower and use your ultimate speed!"

"Block it!"

Bang! !

Faced with Dragonite's weakened attack, Charizard braced itself against its opponent's shoulders with its claws, simultaneously shattering Yuji's last hope...

"Pitch on Earth!!"

"Roar!!" With its final finishing move, Charizard grabbed Dragonite's arm and spun it around in the air, tracing a clear Earth-like trajectory before swooping down with its opponent!

Boom! !

The earth trembled violently, and Yuuji knew that Dragonite would never stand up again…

"The match is over! Dragonite is unable to battle. The winner of the Victory Cup is Ash from Pallet Town!"

"Roar!!" As the result of the match was confirmed, Charizard roared triumphantly to the sky!

He single-handedly defeated six opponents, single-handedly winning the Victory Cup for Ash!

What a certain electric mouse can do, it can do as well, and it can even chain together another one!

"Charizard, well done!" Ash gave a thumbs-up, and Charizard immediately bumped fists with him excitedly.

In this battle, Charizard really tried its best, giving full play to the power it had honed through countless trials!

It will become even stronger, and will reach the summit with Ash, until it becomes the strongest dragon soaring through the sky!

Chapter 324 The Trip to Orange Island Concludes Successfully

"The match is over! Dragonite is unable to battle, Dewl wins, so the winner is challenger Misty!"

...

"Match over! Dragonite is unable to battle, Dragonair wins, so the winner is challenger Lyra!"

...

Including Ash's first match, after three consecutive defeats, the entire audience at Citrus Stadium was almost in tears.

Within a week, the top trainer suffered three defeats, and the Orange Stadium had to award three winners' trophies... This was undoubtedly a disastrous year for many locals in the Orange Islands.

In the second game, they even thought that Yuji could turn the tide and win, but unfortunately, their hopes were dashed.

Xiaoxia's battle was indeed very risky. Even though she was lucky enough to draw a mixed rock and water terrain, Yuji's Dragonite still defeated Starmie and Goldeen with its powerful strength. Even when DuckGod came in later and activated Psychic Rampage, it still couldn't win.

In the end, Misty had a flash of inspiration and made Gyarados retreat quickly after provoking it. Then, Dewl took a hit from Thunder and finally defeated Dragonite with Avalanche, which had doubled in power!

This was a rare highlight for Yuji during the week. Three days later, after Lila entered the game, he was met with an absolute tactical and command-based domination.

Ditto, which went first, encountered Crystal Onix. After Yuuji commanded the transformation, he was completely confused about the opponent's strategy and was hit by a pounce attack as soon as he entered the field. Then, he was suddenly replaced by MetalGen and was hit by a barrage of Bullet Punch and Comet Punch.

Even when facing the second baton of Tyranitar, MetalGreymon remained strong, and even evolved into a true pseudo-legendary monster, Metagross, before the battle!

In the third match, facing Yuji's Scyther, Lyra's pink Butterfree once again employed her signature Attract + Sleep Powder strategy, but then switched to Charizard, who used Rock Slide and Fireball to force Scyther to retreat in frustration.

Lila has mastered the rules of the Winners' Cup: she supports her subordinates' status and then switches to attacking units to counter their attacks. She's just taking advantage of the fact that Yuuji can't be switched!

She handled the subsequent battles with equal ease. Against Yuji's Charizard, she used Hippowdon's Water Cannon and Power Gem; and when Magneton came out, she switched to Charizard, not only pulling the opponent's Pokémon into a Dig and Earthquake, but also finishing them off with a Flamethrower.

When Yuji's Dragonite appeared, he had to face a situation of fighting six opponents at once. Dragonite also had to endure various restrictions and counterattacks from the previous five Pokémon, and could only helplessly lose in the battle against Pink Dragonair.

There was also a little incident: at the end of the final match, a flash of white light suddenly appeared on the pink Hakuryu, but it quickly suppressed it.

Lila saw this and seemed to be considering it as well.

...

"Now, please welcome the three victorious challengers to accept the winner's trophy and enter the hall of fame!"

Amidst the reluctant tones of the on-site commentator, Ash and his two companions each received their spoils from the trip.

The winner's trophy was supposed to be presented to the winning challenger by the chief trainer after the battle, but Ash and Misty did not receive it beforehand. Instead, they waited until Lyra's battle ended, ultimately creating the effect of the three of them on stage together.

The reason for doing this is that Ash has absolute confidence in Lyra and Misty; they definitely won't lose to Yuuji!

"I never expected to lose three games in a week... Congratulations to you guys." Yuji, who was presenting the awards to Ash and the others, was even a little helpless about the loss, and he was sighing all the while.

"Sigh... I used to always want to find someone who could defeat me, but now so many have suddenly appeared... It seems I really don't need to stay here any longer..."

“Then let’s go out for a walk~” Ash said casually. “You can challenge the League Tournament. The Gym Leaders are all very strong Trainers. You can also meet some great opponents at the tournament. If you still don’t feel satisfied, you can win the championship and then go and challenge the Elite Four or even the Champion.”

"The League Tournament... I'll think about it~" Yuji's expression froze for a moment, and that feeling of loneliness that he had as a master instantly vanished.

Ash didn't mean to belittle anyone, but his strength clearly wasn't up to that level, so saying something like "waiting for someone to defeat him" was bound to make him look ridiculous.

Whether in the original work or now, Yuuji is actually at the level of an elite trainer. Apart from his Dragonite being quite remarkable, the strength of his other Pokémon is just so-so.

In the original story, Ash Ketchum was able to fight his Gengar to a draw even with a juvenile Lapras, which speaks volumes.

In short, where Yuuji will go next is no longer within Ash's consideration.

There will also be a major reshuffle of officials in the Orange Islands. After that, under Kanto's leadership, the region should change its past isolation and begin to develop in a truly positive direction.

These are all stories for later. After Ash and his two friends, who had received the title of Honorary Trainer, took a group photo and left their handprints at the Victor's Palace, they left the Orange Islands with Tracey.

However, before returning to Pallet Town, they stopped by another place along the way.

That brat is clearly up to something. Just to be safe, Xiao Zhi should go check it out.

...

"You came."

"Can't you greet me in a different way?"

Honestly, Ash is always speechless for a moment every time he meets Mewtwo.

Before returning to Pallet Town, Ash visited the new island.

After leaving Asia Island, Mewtwo said he had gained some insights and then went to the new island to meditate in seclusion.

When Ash arrived, he found that the castle that Mewtwo had destroyed had been renovated and had been transformed into a luxurious banquet hall with many different rooms.

Mewtwo named this place Pokémon City and even set aside a room just for the city lord... It's furnished with a computer and internet, along with a huge collection of books, and every day it's like a struggling online novelist searching for inspiration and putting together an outline~

Even a blind man could see it was preparing a major attack.

"Just tell me straight, what exactly do you want?" Ash asked bluntly.

"On this trip, I witnessed a great deal of human ugliness..."

"Stop!" Ash frowned and stopped him as soon as it opened its mouth. "No... you can't get over Team Rocket's mess, can you? How are other humans so despicable?"

"Sorry, I just said it offhand..." Mewtwo apologized awkwardly. "Anyway, there are some ugly things in the world, but I have also witnessed many beautiful emotions... Now, I want to test just how deep the bond between humans and Pokémon can be?"

"Don't you have any idea about this? Why don't you just refer to your own experience?" Xiao Zhi asked, puzzled.

He and Mewtwo can both awaken and defeat Alpaca, so what's there to doubt about their bond?!

“You are special after all, and I want to see what you mean by… the situation of other ordinary people.” Mewtwo shook its head and said, “Understanding this issue will help improve my mindset and strength. So I still want to continue with my previous idea and invite some well-known trainers to come and take a look… But don’t worry, I’m not going to steal their Pokémon, and I certainly won’t hurt them!”

"This..." Xiao Zhi was taken aback.

So, in the end, Mewtwo still has to throw a comeback party, huh?

Chapter 325 Planning, the Trial Initiated by Mewtwo

Ash thought that since he and Mewtwo had become such good friends, the Revenge of the Fallen movie should have ended long ago.
