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

"Lucario and I have already done our best..." Korrina said with some dissatisfaction.

“But you are still far from it!” Cocoble retorted seriously. “If you don’t know what waveguide is, I will not pass on the power of super evolution to you.”

After saying that, Cocoble left alone, leaving Korne alone and forlorn.

"Korne...are you alright?" Serena asked worriedly as she stepped forward.

"It's nothing, it's really my fault... Grandpa is quite strict with me, and Lucario and I are really terrible at Aura training, even Ash can't teach us properly."

Korne shook her head reluctantly, but quickly rallied.

"But I won't give up! No matter what, I'm going to complete my Aura training with Lucario and impress Grandpa!"

“Actually, there’s no need to keep worrying about Aura.” Ash suddenly said.

"Huh...is that so?" Korni was taken aback. "But didn't you tell us to reflect on this before?"

“But the conclusion of your reflection is that both of you have done your best,” Ash explained. “If you still can’t master the power of Aura, it can only mean that… you and Lucario really don’t have any talent in this area.”

"Okay..." Korni was on the verge of tears.

So they're just a pair of idiots, right?

“This isn’t a big problem. If you don’t have the talent, you can just stop training.” Ash shook his head and advised, “The reason Mr. Cocoble is so strict with you is more because of his family’s tradition… If we put that aside, as a trainer, Aura is not a necessity for Lucario, and there’s nothing wrong with your training methods.”

“Ash…” Korrina looked at Ash gratefully, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She is indeed optimistic and lively, but she also carries some burdens, such as the expectations from her elders…

Lucario cannot control the Aura, so she cannot inherit Mega Evolution.

They underwent extensive special training and their strength grew stronger, but the waveguide remained lifeless.

Not only Cocoble, but also Korne herself was very anxious about this.

But today, Ash said that if you don't have talent, it doesn't matter if you don't practice, and that Aura Power is not a necessity!

Although this goes against my usual principles, it sounds really comforting...

"Anyway, just continue training in your own way for now... I'll explain things to Mr. Cocoble."

Satoshi left Serena to look after Korrina and went to find Cocoyaw alone.

In the training grounds of the Refinement Tower, Cocoble is training with his Lucario using Aura.

Even Ash couldn't help but admire the constantly surging power.

"A very powerful force. It is truly remarkable that someone who is not a Wave Guide could cultivate to such a level."

"Why are you here?" Cocoble was taken aback. "I thought you would be with that girl Korni. She's probably feeling uncomfortable right now."

This is probably the love of elders—deep and subtle, always trying not to let others see it.

To put it bluntly, it's just awkward.

"She doesn't need much guidance, but I'd like to have a good talk with you."

"What do we have to talk about? How did you seduce my granddaughter?" Coco said with a resentful look.

"Uh...you misunderstood. Korrina is just too lively, that's why she seems closer to me...besides, my girlfriend is always by my side," Ash quickly explained.

"Do you think I don't know your reputation?" Cocoble sneered. "That girl named Serena isn't your only girlfriend, is she? If things continue like this, my granddaughter might be in danger too."

“If that’s the case, I will definitely tell Korne in advance,” Xiaozhi said seriously. “I’m not a good person in this regard, but I won’t pretend to be ignorant and wait for her to take the bait.”

"Heh...you really dare to say that, kid." Coco was speechless for a moment.

This kid in front of me is a little too sincere, isn't he? Why would he dare to say these things to me?

“I think I can tell you this, especially after discovering your hobby,” Xiao Zhi said seriously. “By the way, I would never secretly look at that kind of thing.”

Xiao Zhi usually observes things openly.

I really want to see a swimsuit show; I'll just have his girlfriends wear them for him!

Honey, I want to see swimsuits/black stockings/cosplay... You don't even dare to make this request? How can you say you're boyfriend and girlfriend?

"What...what exactly do you want to say?" Cocoble blushed with embarrassment, deeply regretting bringing up this topic with Ash.

“I think you’re being too strict with Korne.”

"I did that for her growth!" Cocoble retorted seriously. "Do you know the history of the Refinement Tower? Our ancestors were Aura users, Lucario is an important partner of my clan, and the power of Aura is a power that must be passed down!"

"But your clan hasn't produced another Aura Master since then~"

"you!"

“Mr. Cocoble, here is my advice as a Aura user,” Ash said seriously. “Aura is not a power that must be pursued, and you don’t need to force Korrina to master it for reasons such as family inheritance.”

"On the contrary, Korne has her own strengths, and she is a child who needs encouragement to improve. If you give her more praise and recognition, she will definitely achieve results that will satisfy you."

"That sounds nice... No matter how excellent she is, if she can't master waveguides, she'll always have a weakness!" Cocoble left these words in a huff, then took his Lucario and left.

"So, I really don't like Riddler..." Ash shook his head helplessly as he watched Cocoble's departing figure.

...

"What? Grandpa's planning a night raid?" Back in Korrina's room, Ash told her his guess, which surprised the girl.

Cocoble will probably hold a trial tonight to find out exactly what Korni's strengths are.

"It should be tonight, remember to prepare well!" Xiao Zhi encouraged with a smile. "Whether you can impress your grandfather depends on this one shot!"

"I will definitely work hard!!" The girl was immediately filled with fighting spirit.

That night, a figure dressed in black quietly appeared in the hall of the Refinement Tower.

Using a rope, he stealthily climbed up the giant Mega Lucario sculpture inside the tower, took an ancient-looking scroll from the statue's mouth, and then escaped under the cover of night.

But as he passed by Korni's room, he deliberately made a loud noise, as if to wake the 'sleeping' girl...

"I'm here, sir... uh, thief~" The girl proudly put her hands on her hips, blocking the mysterious man's way. "I noticed you were coming a while ago... Is that a secret book in your hand? I haven't even looked at it yet, and you're already trying to steal it?"

The Secret Book is a secret manual passed down through generations at the Sara Dojo. According to Coco, only a chosen person is qualified to view it.

"So what if you've been discovered? Can you take it back?" The mysterious man sneered, then suddenly tossed the scroll upwards. A lithe figure instantly snatched the scroll and landed on the high steps.

"It's Blaziken... Lucario, let's hurry and catch up!" Having confirmed their opponent, Korrina immediately joined Lucario in a race along the circular staircase.

However, their speed was no match for Blaziken's agility; Blaziken easily leaped away and widened the distance once again.

Moreover, during the process of moving forward, another Alakazam suddenly appeared and used its psychic powers to collapse a section of the stairs.

“We can’t get through…” Korni suddenly became very anxious.

"Still won't admit it? In your current state, you have no chance of retrieving the Secret Scroll! Lucario, use Shadow Clone Technique with Blaziken!"

At the mysterious man's command, a third Pokémon suddenly appeared. The agile Jackal and Turkey used their clones together, and for a moment, the entire tower was filled with shadowy figures flashing!

Faced with such a chaotic scene, Korni was at a loss.

If Lucario could master the Aura, she could pinpoint Blaziken's location, but now...

"Korrina, cheer up!" Ash's voice suddenly came through. "Stop worrying about Aura, work with your partner, and solve the problem in the way you're best at!"

"Partner... I understand!" Korini suddenly realized. "Kung Fu Weasel, High Speed ​​Star! Wrestling Hawkman, take me forward!"

The girl immediately rallied and called on her two partners to help her. The Kung Fu Weasel put all his strength into it, spreading the scattered starlight throughout the tower and continuously shattering the illusions.

During this time, Korne and Lucario carefully observed the situation on the field, and they had already changed into their roller skates!

"There it is! Lucario, let's go!" "Lucario!"

Jackal leaped up and pounced on Blaziken's true form, which was dodging the starlight; Hawkman also took Korrina with him and used roller skates to spiral up the side of the wall!

"Even if we find out, we can't take them back! Alakazam, Psychic Beam! Blaziken, Flamethrower! Lucario, Aura Sphere!"

The mysterious man's three Pokémon launched an attack simultaneously, and Korrina's Lucario was immediately enveloped in powerful energy.

"Lucario, use Bone Strike!" Just when the mysterious man thought the dust had settled, the battered Lucario managed to reunite with Korrina in mid-air and suddenly swung his bone club at her feet!

With the powerful thrust, Korne and the Wrestling Hawkman quickly took off and flew straight to the Blaziken carrying the scroll!

"Hawkman, Flying Slam!"

boom!

The Bro-Eagle unleashed its ultimate move, suppressing Blaziken and causing it to fall from the sky. Korrina also seized the opportunity to steal the Secret Book!

"Yay, great success... Oh no, someone catch me!!"

The girl's cool moment in the air lasted only three seconds before she lost her balance and fell. However, Ash was right there beside her and caught Korrina with his psychic powers the moment she was caught.

"Thanks, Ash!"

Korrina landed steadily on the ground, raised her chin, and gave Ash a satisfied smile.

Her long hair flowed gracefully down her back, showcasing her radiant beauty and confidence.

Chapter 650 Super Island, Treasure Hunt

"Hmph, you're quite something, managing to snatch back the secret book under these circumstances."

Seeing that Korne had actually retrieved the scroll, the mysterious man—who was actually old man Cocoble—couldn't help but feel a little appreciative.

But he wouldn't show it, and his words to Korni were mostly harsh.
