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

If one has to pass the hurdle of becoming the strongest Pokémon Master on the path to becoming the strongest, then he can also become a Pokémon Master.

As for being a master of a single type... that's too narrow a goal. Being a master of all types, raising the strongest Pokémon in the world for each type, would be quite fulfilling.

"Stop talking nonsense and send out your Dragon-type Pokémon!" Tsubaki had already stepped onto the battlefield. "I'll stake my future title as Dragon Master on a duel with me!"

Her Kingdra was also on high alert; it seemed this was the first one.

"There's no need to gamble with any grandmaster title. If I win, just give me the badge." Ash shrugged, then suddenly channeled a burst of power into Kingdra's body. "If we're going to battle, let's heal up first. That would be fairer."

"You..." Xiaochun's expression softened, but she awkwardly didn't say anything.

"My first one is this... Salamence!" Ash flicked his wrist and threw out the Poké Ball. As soon as the Vanguard Salamence appeared, it immediately let out a joyful roar!

Ash promised it that it would lead the charge at the Dragon-type Gym.

"It wasn't that Dragonite?"

"Please don't underestimate the power of the salamander."

The familiar dialogue left Xiao Zhi speechless for a moment.

Why do you insist on picking your opponents? It's just to save yourself the trouble!

"It's about to begin! Salamence, Dragon Dance!" With both sides ready, Ash gave the order, and Salamence immediately traced an exciting flight path in the air!

"King Thorn Dragon, gather your energy!" Xiaochun was not to be outdone, and she had King Thorn Dragon enhance its critical hit chance.

This also reveals that her King Thorn is a sniper... and most likely carries a scope.

This is an absolutely ferocious fighting style. In the Charge state, the critical hit chance will increase by two levels. Combined with the Focus Lens, it means that every move Kingdra makes will inevitably hit a vital point.

Of course, this is all predicated on the fact that it actually hits the target.

"Salamander, Dragon Dance again, charge!" Ash chose to boost his stats again, but this time Salamander didn't circle around in place. Instead, it flew in an arc straight at Kingdra!

"Use Dragon Pulse!"

"Use the wings!"

"This..." Xiaochun was taken aback. The dragon-shaped energy that the Thorn Dragon King was raising was originally aimed at the Salamander, but just before it was about to collide with it, the latter suddenly swung one of its wings forward with an attacking force, forcibly changing its flight posture!

Before Xiaochun could react, the salamander also swung out its other wing, dodging the attack and straightening its body again!

"Use the Freeze Ray immediately!"

"Dodge with Dragon Dance!"

"What?!" Xiaochun was taken aback.

She realized she had completely fallen into her opponent's rhythm. As if he had foreseen the future, Ash immediately commanded Salamence to use Dragon Dance to dodge the initial attack of the Ice Beam the moment Kingdra unleashed its Ice Beam.

When Kingdra spun around in the water, trying to hit the Salamence with its Ice Beam, it found that after three power-ups, its turning speed was no match for the Salamence's flight speed!

Before Kingdra could even retract its attack, Salamence charged right up to him!

"Repay the favor!"

Bang!

With a powerful punch, the pool water exploded, and Kingdra was thrown backwards all the way to the shore.

Although this attack did not end the battle, it severely damaged its strength!

"hateful…"

"Are you planning to go all in?"

"How...how did you know?" Xiaochun asked instinctively, startled.

"Because you had no other choice." Ash tapped his temple with his index finger. "From the start of the battle, all your reactions were exactly as I expected."

"Kingdra's base power is not enough. Regardless of its ability, you will most likely have to create a favorable output environment at the start of the battle - either Rain Dance or Focus Charge, you have to choose one of these two moves."

"Without the buff of rainy weather, Kingdra's speed will become a weakness, so you need to stand still and attack, and while ensuring that you hit as many times as possible, you also need to bait out my protective moves... The first hit is a feint, the second hit is the finishing blow, this strategy is also easy to see through."

So, what does it mean to fight with your brain?

Xiaochun is completely speechless now, because Xiaozhi's analysis is spot on!

"When you realize that your continuous attacks are ineffective and instead allow me to secure three upgrades, you should know that the longer the situation drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for you... When you can't make a substitution, the only option left is to go all in!"

As they were talking, Ash lit up his bracelet and placed a blue Dragon Z on it!

"Miss Tsubaki, you complained at the beginning about why I didn't send out Dragonite. I'll answer that with this. From now on, I'll unleash my full power in controlling Dragon Pokémon!"

With his fists clenched, the Z-force he unleashed was completely poured into the salamander's body!

"This... Dragon King, quickly unleash your full power and use Dragon Star Cluster!!"

"Roar, ultimate dragon, shake the heavens and earth!!"

A dazzling dragon-type energy gathered in front of the Kingdra, then transformed into meteors that exploded in the air, raining down on the Salamence like a meteor shower!

At the same time, a huge purple dragon rose from the body of the giant salamander. It soared freely, not only sweeping away all the meteors, but also swooping down and completely swallowing the body of the Thorn Dragon King!

Boom! !

After the horrific explosion, the pool water at the battlefield had vanished!

Kingdra lay collapsed at the bottom of the dried-up pool, his eyes closed...

Chapter 569 Battle, Elite Four-Level Dragonite!

In fact, after Kingdra has received three Dragon Dances of Gratitude, using Dragon Star Swarm to attack it would result in excessive damage.

But Ash still chose to do it.

From the moment he arrived at the gym, Chloe had been threatening him with a broken whip. Even if Ash had the best temper, he still needed to flex his muscles and intimidate this slightly arrogant woman...

Well, what Ash is trying to say is that he is currently in the stage of awakening his Dragon Taming power and becoming a domineering and assertive person. In short, he is someone who responds better to gentleness than force.

Furthermore, he was also fulfilling Xiaochun's wish and showing her the true power of the dragon type!

The ultimate dragon, shaking the heavens and the earth!

If you can't even reach that level of power, what's the point of talking about being the world's strongest Dragon Master?

On a side note, wing-type skills like Twin Wings actually have a lot of uses.

Special moves like wing attacks and double-wing attacks are described as simply using wings to strike, but because the posture of attacking is different from that of flying, these special moves can be used to forcibly change the trajectory of flight, leaving the opponent confused.

Of course, this is just a supplement to the Flying-type moves at this stage. Once Bloodwing finds the Mega Stone, most of its Flying-type moves will be replaced by Normal-type moves... After all, Sky-type skins are really appealing!

What Ash values ​​is the skillful use of wings when unleashing a special move.

Despite its seemingly large size, the Salamence is actually more adept at skillful flight than Dragonite, capable of maneuvering and leaping through the air in various ways.

As long as Longwu increases his speed, his opponent will only get beaten up!

"I... I actually lost? No, something must have gone wrong..." Xiaochun, who was always confident in her strength, couldn't accept this result at all.

She used her best tactics, and the Dragon King unleashed its strongest offensive, but they failed to inflict any damage on their opponent…

Boom~

Not only that, a strong gust of air rose from the salamander's body, a sign that its overconfidence trait had been activated!

Based on the three attack and three speed bonuses, the attack power of the Salamence has increased by one level!

"Damn it... Let's battle!" This scene seemed to spur Xiaochun on, and she quickly threw out a second Poké Ball, this time sending out an adorable, chubby Pokémon.

"Woo..." After landing, Dragonite unconsciously glanced back, its face showing some worry.

This is Dragonite from the Dragon Sanctuary, which was the main Pokémon of the previous generation's Inkstone Gym Leader.

Ash could tell that it was at the Elite Four level and was definitely a very strong opponent.

However, sending it out of the game was undoubtedly a mistake.

Perhaps it's the effect of awakening the power of dragons, but now Ash can tell the level of cooperation between trainers and dragon-type Pokémon with just a casual glance... or you could say it's a bond level.

For example, the Kingdra and Tsubaki had great synergy... Dragonite was clearly not as good, obviously they only started practicing together recently.

"Miss Tsubaki, let's continue the battle!" Ash's expression gradually turned serious, and he began to exude an invisible, sharp aura!

Don't misunderstand, this isn't some special power, it's just the inherent aura of a strong person.

The Dragon Clan was, after all, his friend, and now that the eldest princess of the main family was in trouble, Xiao Zhi couldn't just leave it unattended.

He wants to use this battle to awaken Xiaochun!

"Dragon Dance!" It was still a power-up tactic, but facing Dragonite, Salamence consciously slowed its flight speed, tracing an arc in the air with a more stable posture...

"This is what I've been waiting for! Dragonite, Extreme Speed!" Xiaochun revealed a confident smile, and Dragonite instantly displayed its powerful burst of energy, appearing beside Salamence in a flash and ramming into its chest with all its might!

Bang!

A muffled thud echoed through the field, and Xiaochun's smile deepened.

"Press your advantage and use the Freeze Punch..."

"Repay the favor!"

"What?" Xiaochun's eyes widened in surprise. She noticed that the blue light had just appeared on Dragonite's hand, and before she could even raise her arm, her opponent punched her in the shoulder!

"Then use Twin Wings!" Just as Dragonite managed to unleash its Ice Punch, Salamence had already nimbly circled behind it and, in the instant they passed each other, used its sharp Bloodwing to slash twice at the base of one of Dragonite's wings!
