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

Chapter 397 The True Overlord of the Murmuring Hill!

"Well done, Crobat and Little Sawfish!"

The battle ended swiftly and decisively, and Ash gave his two partners a thumbs-up in approval.

"It ended...so quickly?" Xiaoxia stared in disbelief at the scene before her. So this overlord was all bark and no bite?

The nanny Mambo, who had fallen back to the water, was also completely bewildered. It had been carried into the sky, so why did its big brothers suddenly become weak?

"This is the fatal weakness of the school of fish form," Ash explained. "When Wishiwashi gathers a large number of its companions into the shape of a large fish, it seems to have a powerful strength, but all of its energy consumption comes from the Wishiwashi that acts as the command center."

"Therefore, there is no difference in stamina between a single fish and a school of fish. Once the stamina of the command tower drops below a quarter, it will be unable to maintain the school of fish form."

"So that's how it is... So Nanny Mambo's mission was actually to help Wishiwashi sustain itself." Lila suddenly realized, "But my brother's Totodile took it away from the battlefield, which gave Crobat the opportunity for a two-hit kill!"

"Ho~", "Waniwani!"

The crossbowman gave the little saw-allergy a thumbs-up, and the little saw-allergy responded by frolicking and dancing in the water.

After arriving in Alola, they experienced many double battles, and their understanding of Ash's previous words deepened.

Once one's personal abilities and external support have reached their limits, companions can help one continue to grow stronger!

Ash had passed the test of Chirping Hill in a simple and efficient battle... but he found that the fish scattered in the water did not show any reaction to him, and instead all of them looked trembling.

"Strange...they seem to be afraid of something." Lila sensed it too; the waffle bream seemed worried that something 'terrifying' was coming!

Thumping!

Just then, everyone heard a chaotic sound of flapping wings!

"Those are...long-winged gulls?" Xiaoxia was taken aback as she looked at the blue and white figures in the distance.

"And there's a big-billed gull leading the way; they're coming for the fish!" Xiao Lan's expression immediately turned serious.

At this moment, everyone finally understood what the wispy tuna were afraid of!

Small fish gather together to form a big fish, and naturally become a pond overlord that strikes fear into the hearts of all. But once they are separated, they undoubtedly become the weakest Pokémon!

But ironically, Wishiwashi tastes delicious and is a favorite food of many Pokémon.

It is said that roaring whales eat a ton of washi every day; and the big-billed gulls flying by now have a record of scooping up more than thirty washi in one beak!

"Peri!" The lead gull cried out sharply, flapping its wings and commanding all the long-winged gulls to swoop down at the same time, completely ignoring Ash and the others, its only thought was to hunt the fish!

At the same time, a torrential downpour began again overhead, the rain forming a thick curtain that obscured everything at a distance!

"Pikachu, use Electric Shock!" "Pika!!"

Just as the flock of birds was about to touch the water, Ash immediately commanded Pikachu to unleash a large arc of electricity to stop them.

However, the beaks at the forefront spread their wings, creating a huge barrier that helped the flock of birds withstand the attack.

"Wide-Area Defense?" Ash's expression shifted; this Pelipper was quite interesting.

Not only do they possess unique rainfall characteristics, but they also have mastered this team's secret weapon...

Moreover, besides its leadership in commanding flocks of birds, it is also quite bold. Facing the electric-type Pikachu, it did not turn around and retreat, but instead unleashed a hurricane!

However, after Pikachu unleashed its thunder, it had no choice but to temporarily abandon its hunting and reluctantly led its pack to circle high in the sky.

"It seems that's why." Little Blue realized this too. "This thing has the property of bringing rain. The reason it rains so often at Murmuring Hill is definitely because of it! And judging by the number, it must have gathered all the long-winged gulls from the surrounding area!"

"Xiao Zhi, can't you try to communicate with them? Stop them from targeting the fish again," Xiao Xia pleaded.

“There’s basically no way to communicate with them. This is just normal hunting behavior.” Ash shook his head and said, “Washi is food for many Pokémon… To be honest, I’ve been suppressing Lapras since the beginning. If you release Dewpur, it will drool too.”

"why is it like this…"

Xiao Zhineng understands Xiaoxia's kindness, but honestly, he doesn't think the big-billed gulls and long-winged gulls are wrong.

The Pokémon world has a food chain, and hunting for survival is a natural thing.

Through communicating with Wishiwashi and Feebas, Ash has learned the whole story.

The birds were originally inhabitants of the babbling hills, and everyone lived in peace at first, with the long-winged gulls only scattered around the area.

Even if they are obsessed with the taste of Wishiwashi, two or three of them would not dare to offend the apex predator. Their small-scale hunting would not have a significant impact on the surrounding Pokémon.

Until one day, a long-winged gull evolved.

Pelipper is a Pokémon with a strong sense of community. After evolving, it immediately gathered dozens of gulls, creating a huge group.

They hunt together and feed their young together. When people come, the bighead gulls will even bring down heavy rain to drive them away.

It can be said that the flock led by the big-billed gull is the true overlord of Munch Hill!

However, even the Great Peacock is still afraid of the power of the giant wizardfish, so it has never dared to make any rash moves until now.

"Hoo... Pelipper, dare to battle me one-on-one!" After taking a deep breath, Ash seemed to have an idea. He suddenly took out a Poké Ball and challenged Pelipper to a battle.

“Peri~” However, the beaked gull remained unmoved.

Just kidding, it has plenty to eat and drink among the birds, is loved by people, and can flirt with all sorts of cute girls, so why would it want to be tamed by humans?

That guy even has an Electric-type attack that hard counters him; only an idiot would go up against him!

"I won't use Pikachu, I'll use this!" Ash casually pointed at the water's surface, and the giant Magikarp slowly emerged.

"Peli?" Pelipper started to consider it now. To it, Magikarp was food.

Even a giant Magikarp is just food that can last for a few more meals.

“Hmm…” At this moment, Feebas, who was following Ash, was clearly stunned for a moment.

The hills are almost entirely inhabited by Magikarp, but none of them are this exaggerated.

But, does Magikarp really have a chance of winning against the terrifying Pelipper...?

"Are you still hesitating?" Ash retorted sarcastically. "Could it be that all you've learned since evolving is to bully the weak? You didn't dare to attack a group of Wishiwashi, and could only take advantage of me after I defeated them; yet now, facing a Magikarp that's only slightly larger, you're still hesitating..."

"Peri!" the gull shrieked angrily.

Ash was right. Pokémon that become leaders of their groups are usually not easily provoked, otherwise they might not be able to survive back home.

"But don't worry, I'll only use Magikarp," Ash continued, trying to entice him.

"And I can also guarantee that if I lose to Magikarp, I will no longer concern myself with matters here at Chirping Hill!"

Chapter 398 Lacking martial ethics, conceding a goal from behind~

“Peri…Peri!”

Pelipper pondered Ash's suggestion for a long time before finally agreeing.

The temptation of the food was unprecedented, and after these troublesome humans left, they could naturally feast to their hearts' content.

And it had no choice but to agree... There were already disgruntled gulls behind it, and it had to demonstrate its authority as leader!

Then, the Peacock suddenly flapped its wings and swooped down towards the Magikarp!

"Come on! Magikarp, Splash!" Ash pointed forward, and Magikarp leaped out of the water, creating a curtain of water with its huge size, and swept towards Pelipper ahead of the others!

The giant Magikarp has the Swiftness ability, and this rain is a huge boost for it!

Bang!

The beak casually broke through the water curtain, but its body was slightly unbalanced... Just as it was adjusting its body, a huge water jet came straight at it!

Water cannons!

If it levels up normally, Magikarp will only have three moves: Splash, Tackle, and Frenzy. But if it has a trainer to teach it, it can learn other powerful moves!

"Peri!" This Pelipper was indeed quite strong. It took a hit from a Rain Cannon, but it didn't seem to be hurt at all. Instead, it used a sure-hit hurricane to hit Magikarp.

That's not all; it even manipulated the direction of the storm, blowing Magikarp's huge body directly into the air!

"Peri!" At the same time, the gull flapped its wings and soared into the sky, its huge beak opening wide to spew out a wave of water!

"Magikarp, get into position and use Fly Jump!" "Bang!"

After a long period of training, Magikarp's body not only became extremely strong, but its jumping skills also became superb.

It quickly adjusted its posture in the air, drawing an arc like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, and then swooped down towards the bighead gulls below!

The water ball crashed heavily onto Magikarp, but it did nothing to stop its dive. Pelipper, which arrived just in time, was knocked into Magikarp before it could even close its beak!

Now, its mouth was completely stuck shut...

"Keep this pose, and go crazy!"

Upon hearing Ash's command, Magikarp frantically swung its tail and fins, unleashing a flurry of blows at the enormous mouth that was so close at hand!

This combo left Pelipper a bit stunned, but before it could recover, Magikarp unleashed another powerful Hydro Pump that sprayed right into its mouth... even making its belly bulge out!

"With the final thrust!" "Knock!"

With a great effort, Magikarp, which was in mid-air, used its huge body to press down on Pelipper and crash it into the water below!

boom! !

A spray of water erupted from the lake, and the two Pokémon finally separated, both panting heavily.

"Peri! Pei..." Peeker screamed angrily. It had really lost face by fighting a Magikarp like this.
