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

"Ku!" With a bad start, Mawile was clearly enraged and charged at Fire Fox in Ironhead.

"This... Fire Fox, attack its feet with the illusion beam and try to keep it away from you!" Serena and the Fire Fox panicked for a moment, but quickly came up with a solution.

The fire fox kept shooting out beams of super energy, making the path that Maw of Babes was riddled with potholes.

As a short-legged creature, Mawile is not fast to begin with, making it even harder for him to get close to Fox.

Serena then used another restrictive technique.

"Fire Vortex!"

The swirling flames instantly enveloped Mawile, preventing it from escaping and causing it to panic slightly.

"Great!" Even Ash couldn't help but give a thumbs up after seeing this move.

Serena's first capture battle, though a little nervous, was executed flawlessly, with the power and combos of her various moves being quite impressive.

Now that Maw of Fowl is in a bind, Serena is basically guaranteed to win.

"It's almost time to end this... Oh right, Fox, use that trick, hypnosis!" As a last resort, Serena suddenly had a flash of inspiration and managed to get Fox to use its superpowers to hypnotize Mawile!

Hypnosis is likely an inherited skill, and Serena clearly knows the Fire Fox very well.

"Well done, this way the capture is foolproof." Ash smiled and nodded as he watched Mawile fall into a deep sleep.

"Hmm... I want to wait a little longer." Serena didn't throw the Pokémon immediately. "After all, it's the first time catching it, and the battle started rather hastily. I haven't had a chance to learn much about Mawile... Ash, from now on, I'd like to try catching it my own way, is that okay?"

"Of course you can." Serena had her own ideas, and Ash would naturally support them.

"Roar!" At this moment, Old Spray's roar came from afar.

"Has Charizard been found? You should go ahead first," Serena said understandingly. "I'll be fine on my own, and Alakazam is with me."

"Okay." Ash nodded, leaving Serena to handle the rest herself.

Super Island is indeed fraught with danger, with Pidgeots and Saxonys occasionally fighting in the sky, but the safety of your companions is generally not a concern.

Especially since Serena is currently undergoing training as a Sky Trainer, Ash specially assigned Alakazam to accompany her, helping her commute and naturally providing the best protection.

After saying goodbye to Serena, Ash rode his Dragonite to the highest crater on Super Island, where Charizard was already waiting.

"You found it, right?" Seeing Charizard's excited look, Ash knew it must have made a discovery. "Then go and take it out and have a look. This level of lava shouldn't affect you."

"Roar!" The old fountain roared proudly and plunged straight into the lava!

This action caused a stir in the volcano, and the fire-breathing camels and black grunts living nearby were all dumbfounded, wondering whose general this was who was so fierce.

Even creatures like them, which are associated with volcanoes or have igniting properties, wouldn't dare to jump into the lava of this mountain so easily.

boom!

A moment later, the old jet, enveloped in heat, shot into the sky, sending up a shower of sparks and lava!

It circled in the air for a while, dissipating its heat, before excitedly flying back to Ash's side.

"It works, right? Congratulations!" Xiao Zhi said happily.

It found the Mega Stone for Y-type Spray, and it's noticeably larger than the regular one, definitely high quality.

With this stone, it can completely evolve into Mega Charizard Y.

Perhaps, there are some special uses as well…

(This stone is of good quality, but its energy is still a bit lacking.) The management spirit then reminded, (The power crystal it absorbed before was too powerful; the newly found Y-Evolution Stone needs to be of exceptionally high quality to truly realize your vision.)

(There's probably no better estimate; let Ho-Oh think of a solution later.) Ash seemed quite philosophical about it.

Whether it's the dual super evolution of the mother and daughter of the small bag, or the single fusion super evolution of the old fountain, they are undoubtedly fanciful ideas.

Comparatively, the latter is obviously more difficult to operate, and Xiao Zhi didn't expect to be able to complete it in one go.

Being able to try out transfer evolution is already pretty good!

"It's time to regroup and check on Korrina." After finishing his own business, Ash sensed that his companions had all made some progress.

Alakazam also reported that everything went smoothly with Serena, and they even had some extra gains.

Ash promptly notified his friends to rendezvous, and together they headed towards Korrina's location.

With Lucario watching over her, she should be fine... right?

"Roar!!" Just as he was thinking this, a completely irrational beastly roar suddenly came from afar.

The little AI recognized the voice as Lucario's, and even its original cry had changed, showing just how ferocious it was.

Sure enough, when Ash teleported over, he found that Korrina's Lucario had completed its Mega Evolution, but it was clearly in a berserk state and was about to attack Korrina herself!

For some reason, Cocoy was also present. He intended to send his Mega Alakazam to intercept it, but Ash's Jackal acted first, quickly flanking Lucario and delivering a swift chop to its neck, easily knocking it to the ground.

"I told you so, you're still a long way from Lucario!" After the commotion subsided, Cocoyall approached Korrina, who was slumped on the ground, and condescendingly criticized her.

"Lucario was too confident in its own strength, which is why it was completely outmaneuvered by the rampaging Aura! And you, as its trainer, have been too lenient with it! You two won't be able to get stronger like this. You've been together for too long, assuming you know each other perfectly, and have become complacent about the efforts you should be putting in!"

"Lucario and I have fought really hard..." Korrina instinctively defended herself.

"Idiot!!" Cocoble roared, startling the girl so much that her eyes immediately began to well up with tears.

"Mr. Cocoble, please calm down," Ash quickly advised. "Korrina is already feeling very down, so let's not be too harsh on her right now."

“I’m doing this for her own good!” Cocoyal said seriously. “She and Lucario need to start training again! Luckily, I have an old friend who might be able to help them…”

"I believe your arrangements will definitely help her... but could you please hear my opinion as an Aura user?" Ash said earnestly. "While mastering the power of Mega Evolution, I think Korrina and Lucario can undergo another kind of training... a training that can truly bring out Lucario's strengths!"

"Advantages?" Cocoble shook its head dismissively. "Aside from being relatively durable, it has absolutely no advantages!"

"On the contrary, that's its biggest advantage," Ash said seriously. "You're too focused on Lucario's Aura and have overlooked this point."

"Strong resistance to blows is just the surface. Korne's Lucario's real advantage lies in its vigorous vitality!"

Chapter 652 Mega Evolution Extravaganza, and the Alarm from Hoenn!

"A strong vitality... what good is that?"

Cocoble kept frowning; clearly, he didn't understand the significance of life force for Pokémon.

"Your understanding of life force is limited to having plenty of physical strength, but in fact, life force is an advanced power of aura," Ash explained. "You may not know this, but my Lucario only recently started training to convert aura into life force... but Korrina and her Lucario have been doing this since they were little!"

"Really?" Coco was a little skeptical.

Could this kid be deliberately going against me just to win over Korni...?

“Everything I said is true.” Seeing Koko’s doubts, Ash continued to explain, “Kornee’s Lucario can unconsciously convert a portion of its aura into life force. This is all due to the bond that Kornee and Lucario have built since childhood… but you haven’t noticed this. Instead, you’ve always been demanding that they train their aura.”

"This kind of daily torment not only caused Korrina to accumulate a lot of pressure, but also caused Lucario to accumulate a lot of uncontrollable aura power, which all came out at once during Mega Evolution."

At this point, Xiao Zhi paused, looking earnestly at the old man in front of him.

“Mr. Cocoble, you may find it hard to accept what I’m saying… but you’re not a waveguide user. No matter how proficient your Lucario is in waveguides, it can never surpass someone like me, let alone reach the level of your ancestor.”

"Korne is in the same situation. Even if you arrange training for her and help her truly master the power of aura and mega-evolution, she is just replicating your path, and her final achievements will not surpass yours."

“This…” Coco was speechless for a moment; he was already somewhat wavering.

He has always adhered to the family precepts, striving to raise Korni to be a qualified successor.

Even if we cannot replicate the glory of our ancestors who were Aura users, we must at least carry forward the power of Aura and Mega Evolution.

But now Ash says that Korrina's true talent doesn't lie here.

Could it be that I, in fact, have hindered my granddaughter's development?!

"Ash... what do you think we should do?" Cocoble quietly changed how she addressed Ash and began to listen carefully to his advice.

“Let Korne travel to Kanto. I can introduce her to a great teacher who can teach her Lucario to actively convert Aura into life force.”

As he spoke, Ash took out a rainbow feather and handed it to Korrina.

"If you go to Kanto, you can take this feather and find a place called Azusayama, where someone will teach you."

"Oh..." Korrina took the feather blankly, unaware of what Ash had given her.

But Coco was completely captivated; being a man of wide experience, he immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the feather.

"Ash, did you get that feather from a legendary Pokémon?"

“Yes, this is Ho-Oh’s feather, my token as the Rainbow Hero,” Ash explained casually. “I have a good relationship with Ho-Oh, and as long as Korrina takes the Rainbow Feather to Mount Celestial, it will definitely be willing to help. And I can also have Charizard accompany me along the way, so there won’t be any problems.”

Ash got a new Y-stone, and he originally planned to send it to Ho-Oh to see if there was any way to improve the quality of the stone.

If Korne is willing to go to Kanto, then we can go together.

"Phoenix...King?!" Cocoble was almost paralyzed with fear.

He had assumed that Ash's so-called teacher was some powerful trainer, but it turned out to be a legendary master!

Is this really a solution within the human realm?!

And... this kid is actually willing to do all this for Korni, could he really be trying to seduce her...?

Thinking about it this way, Cocoa suddenly felt a little down.

But he composed himself and took the initiative to admit his problem to his granddaughter.

"Korrina, I put too much pressure on you before. You should choose your own path in the future... So, would you be willing to go to Kanto to find a master teacher, just like Ash said?"

"Grandpa... I, I'm willing! I'll take Lucario to Kanto, and we'll definitely solve our problem!!" Korrina immediately and eagerly promised.
