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

Ash's power was gradually receding, but he still exuded a strong and fierce aura, which made Lance, Brock, and the others dare not look directly at him.

But in the eyes of Xiaolan, Xiaoxia, and Lila, it was a completely different story.

Dragons, well, they're always competitive and... well, you know...

Just casually meeting Ash's Dynamax aggressive gaze would make them blush and their hearts race uncontrollably.

However, this awkward situation did not last long.

As Ash managed to suppress his restlessness, everything finally returned to normal, and he was no longer affecting those around him.

(This awakening was quite a big deal~) When the power of the dragon completely subsided, Ash closed his eyes and carefully savored everything that had just happened.

The Dragon Taming Power had been inactive for a long time, and Xiao Zhi really didn't expect it to awaken to such a high level this time!

Perhaps it's because it stimulated the elements that awakened him. Whether it's the power of the ancient Dragonite or Rayquaza's dragon tooth, these are treasures that are one in a million among dragons, which is why it had this effect.

During that period of time, Xiao Zhi really felt like he was a dragon!

He could clearly sense the thoughts of all Dragon-type Pokémon... Yes, it was a one-way perception, without needing their consent.

Charizard's ultimate wish, Dragonite's joy for its friends, Kommo-o's excitement about its evolution, and Dragapult's expectations for its own and its children's future.

And there are also giant salamanders…

(Holy crap...) Ash seemed to have discovered something outrageous and was a little confused.

In short, press this button first.

There are also the Latias and Tiara siblings, who haven't shown themselves, but Ash can sense their thoughts.

A brother who wants to become stronger so he can protect his younger sister;

And her cheerful, simple-minded younger sister who has no desire to become stronger and just wants to stay by the side of the person she likes…

Ash smiled secretly. He used the power of the Dragon Tamer to send a trace of his thoughts to the past. The Pokémon inside the Poké Ball immediately sensed it and gently nuzzled against Ash's waist.

Getting back to the main point, Ash's awakened Dragon Taming power clearly has more uses than just that.

His eyesight has been significantly enhanced. In addition to being able to see farther and in more detail, he can also clearly see the trails of cloud trails left behind by Dragonite and Salamence, and the nodes where energy converges are also clearly visible.

From now on, Dragonite won't need to help point out positions; he can guide all his teammates in group aerial combat.

In addition, he also realized that he could use the power of dragons to enhance the special moves of dragon Pokémon, help them shield themselves from some side effects, or manipulate the trajectory of energy flow, etc.

For example, Charizard using Outrage in X-form might be able to ignore the subsequent chaos; Dragonite's Draco Meteor shower might also allow it to freely control the landing point of each small meteor.

In short, Ash can do everything that involves the power of dragons in all his works!

The power of dragon control is for commanding the dragon race and achieving the strongest super combat power!

Of course, Ash has only just awakened his powers, and using many of them consumes a great deal of energy.

Furthermore, when Ash activates the power of dragons, he will be dominated by his powerful dragon instincts, becoming domineering, aggressive, and even greedy and plundering!

(The reason for this is that your power was awakened purely through external forces, without finding the corresponding spiritual qualities.)

(Mental qualities... are they like wisdom, benevolence, and courage?) Ash was taken aback by the words of the Pokémon manager.

(That's right. The so-called perfect person's wisdom, benevolence, and courage, besides corresponding to different powers, are also a kind of restraint, preventing those powers from becoming too powerful and going out of control. Similarly, the power of the Sea King, the power of the Dragon, and even the power of the Overlord that you will later obtain, you must also find the corresponding mental qualities so that you can completely control them!)

(But what exactly are these qualities?) Xiaozhi wondered.

(You'll have to figure that out for yourself; I don't know either.) The managing spirit can't help with this. (When the Creator God initially set up the protagonist's halo, he only determined the three qualities of wisdom, benevolence, and courage... Perhaps from the beginning, he didn't want you to completely control any power beyond these three.)

(Understood.) Ash wasn't surprised by this; if alpacas didn't restrict him, they wouldn't be alpacas.

As for spiritual qualities, isn't that just a badge? Do you really think Ash hasn't seen the treasures from the next booth?

He has now grasped the essence of courage, wisdom, and kindness; finding the rest shouldn't be too difficult.

(By the way, the Dragonfire passed down through the Dragon Royal Family is Reshiram's flame... It's quite powerful; you could try to get some.)

(Really? Why does his house have the flames of a real dragon?!) Ash was taken aback by the sudden reminder from the Pokémon in charge.

(They are an ancient clan with a long history, can't they at least have some family wealth?)

(That's true~) Xiao Zhi said that this explanation is very reasonable.

(Anyway, try to get some from them; that will help you deal with Rayquaza's Fang.) The management Pokémon continued, (The energy contained in that tooth is too immense for ordinary Pokémon to handle; its power must be dispersed as much as possible.)

The top-tier gods actually possess immense hidden power; they simply rarely unleash it due to various limitations.

Just like the Sea Soul Pearl, which was made from Lugia scales, its power has diminished over time, but its remaining strength can still help Blastoise break through its limitations.

If this fresh and hot Rayquaza's Fang were just randomly thrown onto any dragon, it would probably burst on the spot.

(I have a way to make this tooth work as well as possible, it just depends on whether you're willing to give it up.) The management sprite finally gave Ash a suggestion…

"Holy crap!" Upon hearing such a shocking and outrageous move, Ash immediately cursed.

If Rayquaza were to deal with Dragon Fang in this way, wouldn't he be so angry that he'd devour himself alive?

The thought of being devoured by a dragon terrified Xiao Zhi, who was then confronted with a large group of people staring at him.

"Why are you all staring at me like that?"

"Ash, were you just experiencing the power of dragon control?" Lance asked cautiously.

The phenomenon had ended long ago, but Ash remained rooted to the spot, his eyes tightly shut and muttering something to himself.

Seeing this, no one from the Dragon Clan dared to disturb him, and they stood with him until now.

Now that he has regained consciousness, many people are hurriedly panting for breath.

"Alright, everyone disperse." The elder suddenly spoke up, dismissing the gathered clansmen. "Young man, may I have a private talk with you?"

After dispersing the crowd, he extended a formal invitation to Ash.

"Alright."

"Du, you should come with us too." The Grand Elder called over Yu Long Du.

“But… alright.” Yulongdu originally wanted to say that it shouldn’t be his responsibility as a member of a branch family to handle matters of the clan, and that it would be better for Xiaochun to take the lead.

However, he quickly thought of some other possibilities and felt that it would be better for him to accompany the other person in person.

He helped the elder up, and did not forget to instruct the clansmen to entertain Xiao Lan and the others. He then led the elder and Xiao Zhi to a quiet, deserted room.

The three sat facing each other. The elder silently watched Xiao Zhi, his wrinkled face gradually filled with emotion.

"How fortunate... to be able to see a human who has awakened the power of dragon control again in my lifetime!"

"I'm actually quite curious too. Is this power unique to the Dragon Race?" Ash asked tentatively.

"It's not unique. Any human who genuinely cares for the Dragon Pokémon and gains their approval can awaken this power," the elder said, shaking his head. "Besides us, the Dragon Country of Unova and the Meteor People of Hoenn can also awaken the power of Dragon Taming, but this power is gradually being lost..."

He recounted in a low voice the history of the decline of the dragon trainers, staring intently at Ash throughout, as if he had finally made a decision.

"Ash, can I ask you a few questions?"

“Please speak.” Xiao Zhi immediately sat up straight.

"What exactly is Pokémon to you?"

Chapter 565 Five Questions, and an Unexpected Entrustment

coming!

Xiao Zhi had always been curious whether the Dragon Clan would have a Grand Elder asking questions during this process, and now he finally got to see it.

Hmm... Knowing that Ash has a Supersonic Dragonite, the other party obviously wouldn't give him a Supersonic Dratini, so this must be some kind of test.

However, in the game, Elder Dragon's question was indeed a classic, and Ash wanted to take the opportunity to test his own heart.

He already had the answer to the question of what Pokémon truly were, and they were not simply friends or partners.

"Pokémon is just Pokémon."

"Oh, could you explain in more detail?" The elder was taken aback.

"Whether Pokémon are friends or companions is a subjective label imposed by the trainer. Once captured, they are restricted by the Poké Ball and can only follow the trainer's will. If the trainer wants to battle alongside them, the Pokémon are comrades; if they need their companionship, the Pokémon are partners and family; and even further, the Pokémon can be lovers..."

"Ahem~" Lance coughed lightly beside him, reminding Ash not to answer so freely.

Everything before was fine, but what the heck is this "lover" thing?

This kid really lives up to his nickname; have his interests even transcended those of humans now?

"It's just an example," Ash said seriously. "Ultimately, Pokémon are also a kind of life in this world. They have their own lives and they also interact with humans."

"I must say, that's a surprising answer, but it's the truth." The elder seemed to agree with Ash's statement... As for whether it included his lover, that was his own business.

"My next question is, what is the most crucial element in Pokémon battles?"

"It's the battle itself! Whether it's training or tactics, they are all means to serve the battle... The only way to victory is for trainers and Pokémon to fight side by side and give their all to defeat their opponents!"

The second question directly hit Xiaozhi's gun.

You must understand that besides being a man of the law, he is also a fighter!

"Well said! A trainer who leads the dragon race forward should have this kind of awareness!" The elder was greatly pleased by this answer and immediately asked excitedly, "Then, what kind of trainer do you want to battle against?"

"Only trainers whom I approve of and whom I want to battle!" Ash said seriously. "My Pokémon must receive something after winning a battle... I will refuse meaningless battles to avoid wasting my and my partners' time and energy."

Of course, Xiao Zhi wants to let his imagination run wild on this question.
