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

Pikachu is saying, "You've got to be dead! If you'd said that earlier, I would have understood long ago!"

Flashes of lightning began to gather on Pikachu's tail, which had turned into an arc of electricity. Dark clouds instantly filled the sky. Then, a bolt of lightning several meters in diameter crashed down, slamming Corviknight, which had taken off again, onto the ground!

Boom! !

Lightning burst forth, scattering Steelraven feathers across the ground, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground beneath it!

After this attack, it and Pikachu both exited their Gigantamax forms.

"Screech... Screech!!" But this Corviknight seemed to be a stubborn one. After shaking its head, it actually flapped its wings and took off again. It even wobbled around Pikachu and pounced on Ash!

"Hey, watch out, that's a pouncing attack!" Lulina quickly warned from behind.

"You're not convinced, are you? I like it even more now~"

Ash grinned with satisfaction. Just based on its relentless persistence, this Corviknight was definitely worth training.

Furthermore, although Ash isn't familiar with the ecology of Galar, this Corviknight's normal size is twice the size of its Pokédex entry, and it seems to possess the powerful Mirror Armor ability. Missing out on it would be a terrible mistake!

Then let's completely subdue it!

Ash's eyes gradually sharpened, and while adjusting his breathing, he also got into a starting stance to prepare for the attack!

“That’s…” Cai Dou, who had been paying attention to him, was taken aback.

A very familiar pose, so next is...

"Screech!" Corviknight cried out, its jet-black beak swooping down with all its might at Ash!

"The first part is the bottom."

Bang!

As Bea muttered to herself, Ash suddenly raised his arm to block, dodging the bird's beak peck and landing perfectly on Corviknight's neck!

"Then release the force."

Just as Bea said, Ash immediately switched from gear to claw, grabbed Corviknight by the neck with both hands and slammed it down hard, using Corviknight's own strength to press its head directly to the ground!

"The final blow was the decisive one!"

"Drink!" Xiao Zhi suddenly roared, gathering his strength in his fist at his waist to the limit, and then unleashing a powerful punch diagonally downwards!

"Screech..." The Steel-Armored Raven was so frightened that it closed its eyes tightly, but just when it thought it was about to be blown off, it only felt a gust of wind.

When it opened its eyes again, it saw a switch pointing at its red and white ball.

"Hey, you should know the rules, right?" Ash asked leisurely.

"Screech~" Corviknight nodded nervously and immediately pecked at the switch with its beak, willingly being captured by Ash.

"Then please guide me~" Ash smiled contentedly.

You know what, a trip to Galar really did bring unexpected surprises!

Chapter 374 It was a close call; I just ended up with an extra aunt~

"He actually managed to subdue him... Are all kids these days this amazing? He must have only been out in the world for a few years, right?"

Lulina found it hard to believe. Ash looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old, even younger than Bea. Yet he showed no mercy in battle!

Not only is Pikachu ridiculously strong, but his own fighting ability is also ferocious, making him practically a male version of Bebe.

Thinking of this, Lulina turned to the fighting girl curiously: "I've noticed that your predictions are very accurate. You actually knew how he would respond to each move?"

“It wasn’t a prediction; his starting stance was karate,” Cai Dou said, shaking her head. “He’s a martial arts expert… and his style is very similar to what I’ve learned in my family.”

"Is that so?" Lulina was taken aback. "Could he be a disciple of your dojo? Who exactly is this person?"

"A karate expert and a Pikachu trainer." The girl remained serious, but refused to reveal her name.

"Okay, I shouldn't have asked." Lulina's face immediately showed her inner conflict.

Upon hearing this, the giant geranium, who had been protecting them, immediately threw the superhuman strength to the ground.

What nonsense are you talking about? You've been chanting Pikachu, Pikachu non-stop since just now. Do you think I don't exist?!

“He must be Ash, he’s really good.” Sonia guessed the person’s identity at this moment. “I wasn’t quite sure before, but if we add the fact that he’s a humanoid Pokémon, then it can only be him.”

"Ash...the one from Kanto?" Lulina realized as well.

She's not like Ayaka, who only knows how to torture herself in silence. Basically, Lulina pays attention to any trending topic.

The most outstanding newcomer and rising star in Kanto in recent years, he became a senior investigator at a young age. He not only wiped out Team Rocket in Kanto, but also fought against natural disasters on Asia Island!

In comparison, his Quartz Conference champion status is the least noteworthy.

“It must be him. I didn’t expect him to come to Galar.” Sonia nodded. “Grandma recently asked me to research some things related to him… I heard that he, like someone else, has maintained a perfect record for the past two years since his debut.”

"Your 'someone,' he seems to have arrived already~" Lulina said with a hint of teasing.

She saw a fire-breathing dragon flying over the city wall from afar and instinctively assumed that the champion had finally arrived.

"Hmph, everything's over, what's the point of him coming back?" Sonia pouted, but wasn't particularly angry.

He's late, but he's still here... just kidding!

As the Charizard drew closer, she and Lulina realized that it wasn't Dan the Emperor who had come!

"Brother!" the girl cried out urgently. Before Charizard could even land, she had Metagross lead her and Misty ahead, flanking Ash on either side.

When the fire-breathing dragon landed, Xiao Gang jumped off its back.

Fortunately, he was still worried about Xiaozhi's situation and didn't rush to fawn over his two best friends... which saved him from embarrassing himself abroad.

In short, Ash's friends and family arrived even faster than the Galar officials!

"Xiao Zhi, are you in any trouble?" Xiao Xia asked with concern.

"It was just a troublesome Corviknight, and Pikachu and I caught it together." As he spoke, Ash tossed out a Poké Ball. "Look at it, isn't it cool?"

Ash summoned Corviknight again, used the power of Viridian to heal its injuries, and also secretly communicated with it.

The latter nuzzled Ash's chest, lowered its head and placed something in Ash's palm, then began to show off its armor-like feathers to Misty and the others.

With its design and color scheme, Steel Raven is undeniably handsome from every angle, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

As for what it gave to Ash, that was the culprit behind this incident.

The Armored Raven was just dozing in its nest when this thing suddenly hit it, and it lost control of its mind.

It's a man-made disaster, not a natural one... The situation in Galar is more complicated than Ash expected.

"Hey, isn't that the one on TV?" Xiaoxia spotted Lulina, a glint of fighting spirit flashing in her eyes.

"You're a Water-type Trainer too, right? I can sense it." Lulina also cared about Misty. Although Misty was much younger than her in many ways... she was, after all, someone close to Ash, so she should have some skill.

Sonia then extended her hand to Ash: "Hello, let's get acquainted. I'm Sonia. Thank you for helping us out of that situation."

"It was just a small favor, and I was originally planning to catch Corviknight anyway," Ash said with a polite smile, before introducing Lyra and the others.

When you're out and about, it's always good to make more friends, especially since it would be very awkward if they didn't exchange pleasantries and just stood there together.

Ash has to wait here a while longer for the Galar champion to arrive... and there's also the more important Rose.

Palace Gate City is essentially Galar's face; with this kind of trouble happening, Loz has no reason not to handle it... even if it's just to show his face and make a show of it.

While the two groups were having a casual, awkward chat, Bea suddenly approached Ash.

Where did you learn karate?

"At the fighting dojo in Saffron City, Kanto, I trained with Karate Master Nobuhiko. He was a student of Mr. A-Si from the Azure Dojo, and he was very strong..."

"Is that Senior Brother Si?" Cai Dou suddenly realized, "So you're his disciple..."

"You've misunderstood. I'm just using the fighting arena to train. I haven't become Mr. Si's disciple... I'm not even an apprentice!" Ash immediately waved his hand to clarify.

Luckily, he reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would have been a generation younger than Cai Dou for no reason.

As for the fact that he did say he wanted to become an apprentice at a fighting dojo... well, nobody knows about it except Nobuhiko.

At this moment, Ash finally remembered that there was a very obscure setting in the journey.

Mr. Si from the Azure Dojo learned karate from Aya's father, and he also calls Aya "Miss".

Hmm, we can talk to Xiao Mao about this.

When you get back, tell him that you met his master's aunt in Galar.

“So that’s how it is. You really are self-taught.” Cai Dou nodded knowingly. “No wonder you’re strong, but your basic moves aren’t quite right… Your technique for deflecting the force just now was a bit off, and the power of that final punch was also a bit scattered.”

"You're really blunt..." Ash twitched his lips speechlessly, but he had to admit that Bea was right.

His karate skills were learned by observing Nobuhiko's practice and combining it with his own training at Natsukiba. Naturally, his punches were powerful and impactful when fighting various villainous henchmen. However, in the eyes of a professional like Aya, his skills were full of flaws...

hum~

As they were talking, one of Ash's Poké Balls suddenly opened, and a burly-looking Pinsir jumped out.

"Big Shell, what's wrong?" Ash asked, puzzled.

Dajia raised his own bent spoon of destiny, and at that moment, the tip of the spoon was pointing directly at Cai Dou!

"No way..." Xiao Zhi was a little confused.

The spoon in Dajia didn't point to ruins or landscapes, but rather to a person?
