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

The final agreement on the island's kingship has been reached, and the four nominal high-ranking officials of Alola are now united!

Next, all that's left is to issue an ultimatum to the Ether Foundation.

"Lusamine has arrived at the Listening Waves Hotel and is catching up with Moen right now," Blue told Ash. "It's said that the Aether Foundation has too many affairs, so it's been held up... but I guess they haven't come up with a solution yet."

Lusamine knew perfectly well what Ash was coming to Alola for. As a strong woman, she certainly didn't want to be easily manipulated.

But now, the situation is no longer in her control.

"By the way... after we set off, Zaobo, the branch manager of the Ether Foundation, suddenly left alone."

"It really was him." Xiao Zhi smiled knowingly.

It seems we can look forward to seeing some results from the Alakazam side!

...

"It should be here."

At the Po Town Police Station, a man who looked like a Pokémon, accompanied by a grotesquely expressive Grimer, easily subdued a group of officers and effortlessly infiltrated the detention room.

"The Destructive Emperor Guzma... Isn't this young master Gladio? You two are locked up together?" Looking at the non-mainstream and chuunibyou duo inside through the door, the man couldn't help but reveal a satisfied, sinister smile.

"It's you, buddy?" Guzma glared at him disdainfully. "What are you dawdling for? Let me out right now!"

“You’ve misunderstood. I’m not here to see you.” The man shook his head arrogantly. “Young Master Gladgio has some memories that cannot be known to outsiders, so I’m here to deal with them.”

"Deal with it, you..." "Damn it! Ugh..."

Gladio and Guzma's expressions changed simultaneously, but unfortunately, they encountered the hypnotic ring in Suli's hand and immediately lost consciousness.

“Very good, next… um!” The man smiled with satisfaction, but the next second, two scarlet eyes suddenly appeared in front of him, staring him to the ground!

Boom boom boom!

After a series of Shadow Ball explosions, only Ash's Gengar and Alakazam remained standing in the detention cell.

Chapter 416 The Dragon Swarm, The Trial Begins!

boom! boom! boom!

Inside a stone chamber in front of the Sun Wheel Altar, a fierce battle was raging.

The two sides in the battle were vastly different in size. One side was a human boy who was only a teenager, while the other side was a huge, bipedal dragon covered in scales!

Bang!

It was another head-on collision, with two disproportionate fists clashing together.

The boy and the dragon swayed for a moment, then stepped back and suppressed the aura of power and the burning wave energy around them.

"You should have had your fill of fighting by now, right, Kommo-o?" the boy asked with a smile.

"Roar!" The dragon grinned and waved its fist, clearly satisfied.

To prepare for the upcoming great test, Ash spent three days in the Poni Canyon. During this time, he naturally became familiar with the Pseudo-legendary Kommo-o clan, the ancient guardians of the Sun Altar.

Basically, whenever he has time, Ash will have a fierce, hand-to-hand battle with Kommo-o, the leader of its kind.

With his Aura fully activated, Ash's fighting ability can only be described as superhuman. Even though the Totem Kommo-o is nearly five meters tall and has an aura buff that increases all its stats by 1 when it enters battle, Ash still managed to fight it to a standstill.

Such combat power not only delighted the dominant Scaly Dragon, but also undoubtedly conquered the entire dragon horde.

"Seriously, why don't you guys consider my suggestion and change your fighting habits?"

"Chirp..."

After a heart-to-heart talk, Ash gave Kommo-o some advice, hoping that the Pokémon could try a special attack strategy.

Given that this does not align with the Dragon Clan's consistent principle of resolving issues through force, the Overlord is still considering the matter.

Of course, Ash has his own reasons.

Kommo-o is actually a rather unfortunate pseudo-legendary. Although it is the only Dragon/Fighting type, it was born at the wrong time and was brutally defeated by various Fairy types as soon as it appeared, thus earning the title of 'the shame of pseudo-legendary'.

However, if we temporarily disregard the attribute weaknesses and focus on the skill pool, we will find that the pseudo-legendary characters in Generation VII can be used in amazing and varied ways.

Kommo-o has Swords Dance and even Belly Drum to boost its attack, so it should theoretically be a physical attacker. However, its signature move, Scale Noise, is a special attacker, and now it can even learn the super-powerful Normal-type Sonic Blast.

In fact, in Ash's previous life, Kommo-o was mostly a special attack Pokémon.

Another point is that if you focus on special attacks, you will have to hone your energy more, which is exactly what the Kommo-o from Poni Canyon needs.

Purebred pseudo-legendary creatures usually have their unique strengths. Tyranitar from Mt. Silver is superior to the regular version, and the guardians of the Sun Wheel Altar are no exception.

After these few days of contact, Xiao Zhi discovered that the dragons here can utilize waveguide power to a certain extent!

While it can't compare to Lucario, which was created specifically for the Aura Sphere, it's still much better than those ubiquitous moves like Record Aura Sphere!

They consciously draw upon this energy during battle, infusing it into their roars and scales to unleash even more powerful special moves.

The more shimmering the scales of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon are, the stronger its application of waveguide power is!

Ash has been searching among the dragons recently, hoping to find someone with extraordinary talent.

After all, Pokémon that specialize in attack and also partially possess the power of Aura are truly rare.

"Take your time to consider your opinion; there's no rush." ​​Seeing that the Overlord was undecided, Xiao Zhi didn't urge him. "By the way, I'm leaving the test for those three people to you later."

"Chirp..." Remembering Ash's previous instructions, the Totem Kommo-o was once again numb.

Why make things so complicated when a simple fist could solve it?

But what can you do? He's the island king favored by the guardian deity!

...

At this moment, the three people who were to participate in the test gathered at the entrance of the Bonney Grand Canyon.

Hapuu and Caidou traveled light, while Jasmine still carried her easel and paints, with Butterfly flying beside her.

In the distance behind her, there seemed to be another unique being, secretly following her.

The three of them weren't very familiar with each other, especially Cai Dou, who was from out of town, so they didn't exchange many pleasantries. After meeting up, they set off together.

They continued along the canyon road and soon encountered Ash's Steelix, which blocked their path with its massive body.

"Are we... going to have to fight it?" Hapuu unconsciously swallowed. The sheer size of the creature gave off an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"Perhaps we can try communicating with them." Jasmine didn't act impulsively. She noticed that the giant steel snake was only swallowing soil and rocks and didn't show any ferocious expression.

So she sent her Butterfly to the rescue. The little guy hovered on Steelix's head and sensed for a while before bringing Jasmine to Steelix's side. Sure enough, there was a path that could cross the mountain... but it was hidden by Steelix's body and was not seen immediately.

“We understand now, it won’t attack us.” Jasmine and Butterfly started walking first, and the two girls quickly followed behind.

The three of them followed the path to the end of the canyon, where there was a broken stone wall, behind which was a stone archway and three statues carved into the shapes of a wooden owl, a fire-spotted cat, and a ball-shaped sea lion.

Behind the statue, there are three exclusive Z-Crystal patterns, but they are not in the same order.

"A mechanism... you'd have to push the statue to the correct position, right?" Hapuu guessed.

“Let’s go straight.” With her exceptional intuition, Cai Dou noticed the problem with the statue. Without offering any further explanation, she simply walked up the stairs with her muscles tense and pushed open the exit door.

Nothing happened; she chose the safe route!

"So... if we move those statues, we might actually encounter danger," Jasmine suddenly realized.

She and Hapuu caught up with Aya, but then they were stuck at the edge of a wide cliff.

“A place like this should have a bridge... Could it be invisible?” Jasmine naively guessed.

"Let's use the clay giant to fly over, so everyone can ride together." Hapuu thought Jasmine's idea was very unreliable... at least not as reliable as his own clay giant, which was used to pull up radishes all year round.

Shrinking its lower body into its shell, the clay golem soared into the sky like a jet engine, carrying the three women across the cliff with ease.

After that, they finally arrived at the last stone chamber in front of the altar, but were stopped by the dragons there!

"Roar!" The overlord, the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon, roared first, followed by a cacophony of noise from the dragons behind it, determined not to let the three women advance any further.

Jasmine wanted to send her Butterfly to probe the Overlord's thoughts, just like before, but under the influence of the Overlord's aura, it couldn't hear anything at all.

"Um... could you please ask for me?" Jasmine called out to the outside of the stone chamber, intending to call for outside help.

"Cute~" The mysterious friend soon made its appearance, which was also a Butterfly... and a dominant Butterfly at that!

After a standoff between the two overlords in the stone chamber, the overlord, the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon, seemed to finally relent.

The overlord Butterfly pointed to the dragons, then to Jasmine and her easel, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer.

"Drawing? I understand." Jasmine immediately understood and began to prepare paper and pen, sketching the Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon.

Before long, she completed a decent work. The dominant Scaled Dragon in the painting was majestic and imposing. The character itself was also very satisfied with it, happily gesturing for the dragons to make way.

"Can we pass now? Thank you!" "Cute~"

Jasmine thanked him happily and quickly left with her domineering friend.

But as soon as she moved, the dragons blocked Hapuu and Caidou at the same time!

"Is fighting the only option?" Aya clenched her fists involuntarily.

"Chirp!" But the overlord shook his head and instead approached Hapuu with a fighting spirit!

It can fight Hapuu, and if it wins, it can go to the Sun Wheel Altar.

But not Rainbow Beans!
