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

"Great, that's it!" After finishing the first round of practice, Xiaoyao felt great.

"Ha, is that all?" Suddenly, a slightly disdainful sneer came from the side. "You don't actually think you can participate in this Grand Contest with such tricks, do you?"

The speaker was a boy with green hair, who had a slightly arrogant expression, practically as if he had "I am a professional" plastered on his forehead.

"What does this trick mean?" Xiaoyao's expression suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy.

"So you and your Pokémon aren't pretty at all," the boy continued to mock himself. "Let me introduce myself, I'm Shun, a Coordinator."

"Isn't that the same as Xiaoyao?" Serena asked curiously.

"Don't compare me to her, the difference in skill level is too great." Xiao Shun arrogantly flicked her bangs. "Also, you'd better leave quickly, this is the private beach of the luxury hotel I'm staying at."

“What a coincidence, we also happen to live here and have the right to use the beach.” Ash stepped forward and shielded May behind him. “And… kid from Larus, if you want to provoke me, come at me directly, stop making sarcastic remarks to girls.”

"How...how did you know?" Xiao Shun's expression changed.

"You've been watching from the corner for ages, haven't you? You only dared to jump out and spout nonsense after May finished her performance," Ash said coldly. "I happen to know a lot about your Larus, and I also know about your family background... Didn't your parents tell you that if you're not strong enough, you should keep your tail between your legs when you're out in the world?"

"You... Hmph, I can't be bothered with your business. I just can't stand seeing an amateur like you instructing another ugly newbie. You two are simply defiling the Grand Contest!"

Shun gritted his teeth in frustration, but he didn't dare to confront Ash directly anymore, so he turned his attention to May, who was easy to bully.

"What did you say?!" After being belittled repeatedly, Xiaoyao's eyes were practically spitting fire.

"Are you that confident? Want to have a match with me?" Ash challenged him directly. "Even if I've never participated in a Contest, I think I'm pretty professional... at least much more professional than you."

"Fight you..." Xiao Shun hesitated for a moment, then started making excuses, "Don't joke around, do you even know what a fancy battle is? If it's just like a regular battle where you just randomly attack, then it's completely meaningless!"

"Hey, you're just a coward, aren't you?" Xiaoyao bluntly pointed out.

"Hehe~" Serena's sarcasm was quite obvious.

But then another voice broke in.

"How about I act as the referee?" The elegant, long-haired nobleman stepped forward and bowed slightly to both sides. "I am Robert, a Coordinator, and I have already earned two Ribbon Medals in Hoenn."

As he spoke, he nodded slightly to Xiaozhi, but did not take the initiative to acknowledge him.

"I think I should be able to determine whether a match falls into the category of a spectacular match."

"So, are you going to compete or not?" Xiaoyao seized the opportunity and immediately retorted, "If you're afraid of Xiaozhi, just admit it!"

"You think I'm afraid of him?" Xiao Shun was indeed provoked. "Let's fight! I'll show him what a truly magnificent battle is!"

"Okay, I'll use this... Milotic." Ash casually stood on one side of the beach and tossed out a large, beautiful Poké Ball.

"This...is this?"

That unparalleled beauty, perfectly matching the highest pursuit of a coordination trainer, immediately stunned Shun.

He stared blankly at the Milotic in front of him, even forgetting to send out his own Pokémon...

Chapter 670 VS. Shun, a message from Robert

Are you going to fight or not?

Ash's expressionless reminder immediately brought Shun back to his senses.

"This is the only time you can be arrogant. Make your grand entrance, Poison Rose!"

Shun throws out a Poké Ball, and a green Pokémon spins and lands amidst pollen, gracefully crossing its legs in a greeting.

The poisonous rose with the herbaceous-poisonous attribute is also very suitable for use in the Grand Contest.

"Let's begin." Ash beckoned to the pitcher, and Milotic simultaneously showed a disdainful expression, voluntarily giving up the first attack.

"Poison Rose, use Magic Leaf!" Shun gave the order angrily. Poison Rose unleashed its signature move from its two flowers, and a wave of leaves swept towards Milotic.

"Use a blizzard." "Miyo~"

However, Milotic simply blew a cold wind, which turned all the leaves into scattered ice powder.

The remaining snow and ice powder continued to spread towards the poisonous rose's body, instead of dissipating.

"Poison Rose, jump up and dodge!" Xiao Shun reacted immediately, and Poison Rose gracefully spun around and jumped, barely dodging the attack of the cold air.

In a formal competition, such dodging would undoubtedly deduct points from Xiaozhi's score...

But Xiaoshun will soon have even more points deducted!

"Use the whirlpool!"

boom!

The terrifying torrent surged forth instantly, engulfing the poisonous rose in mid-air and forcibly spinning its body in the vortex!

"Poison Rose, use Petal Dance to break free!"

Shun's Roselia was quite well-trained, partly because Milotic didn't use any powerful moves. In any case, it used a high-power Grass-type special attack that wouldn't cause any confusion, forcibly shattering the surrounding water flow with its flying petals!

"Great, that's it!" Xiao Shun was overjoyed at the sight, but his smile quickly froze on his face...

"snowstorm!"

Milotic finally got serious, unleashing a powerful blast of cold air that instantly froze all the water and petals into ice, which then turned into endless ice rain that pelted down on the body of the Poison Rose!

"Poison Rose!" Xiao Shun was shocked. By the time the Poison Rose landed, it already had many scratches on its body.

"In that case... use Solar Flare!" Realizing she couldn't win by brute force, Shun decided to take a desperate gamble.

"Isn't it too much to be charging up now?" Xiaoyao was taken aback.

“No, the afternoon sun is very nice, almost like a sunny day,” Serena shook her head and said, “The Poison Rose’s power-gathering will end soon.”

"Shoot with mud!"

But just as Roselia was striking a pose and trying to absorb the power of sunlight, Ash gave an unexpected command!

Milotic opened its mouth and spat out a stream of brown mud, which landed squarely on Roselia's face!

This attack not only caused damage and reduced speed, but also interrupted the release of Sunfire, leaving Poison Rose in a sorry state!

"Amazing!" Even Robert was incredibly amazed by Ash's stroke of genius.

In a dazzling battle, using mud-like attacks to directly destroy the opponent's beauty is an incredibly brutal tactic.

"Poison Rose, open your eyes! Use paralysis powder to retaliate!"

Just as Shun was struggling to recover from his wounded roar, Milotic had already leisurely approached Roselia.

It seemed to transform into the gentlest being in the world, using its two long, slender hair fins to cup the face of the poisonous rose and gently wipe away the mud on it.

Poison Rose barely opened its eyes a crack. The Milotic it saw was blurry, yet it seemed to be radiating light, momentarily causing it to forget to attack…

"Triple Spin!" But Milotic's demeanor changed abruptly after hearing Ash's command!

Its gaze instantly turned sharp, and its once gentle fins transformed into swung palms, slapping Poison Rose's face twice with astonishing coldness!

With a final strike, Milotic twisted its body and pulled out its massive tail, which had also turned into solid ice, with all its might!

Triple Slash, an Ice-type physical attack whose power increases with each hit, caused Milotic to deal its highest damage.

Bang!

Poison Rose was sent flying backward, covered in ice and mud, and landed on the beach in the distance in a most disheveled state, completely losing consciousness.

"Poison Rose is out of the battle within the time limit, Milotic wins!" Robert checked the battle time; less than three minutes had passed before Shun couldn't continue.

"Damn it..." Shun picked up the unconscious Rose of Poison and looked at Ash with resentment, only to find that the other was just leisurely wiping Milotic's body.

Beating yourself is like something not worth celebrating at all!

"Yay! Ash won!" May celebrated enthusiastically. "You cocky brat, now you know how powerful Ash is, right?"

"Enough!" Shun seemed a little embarrassed and angry. "He beat me, not you! When we get to the Slateport Tournament, I'll show you what a real Coordinator is!"

After uttering these harsh words, he left in a huff, clutching the poisonous rose.

"Is this guy... just out here to get tortured?" Serena said speechlessly.

"He has a high opinion of himself, and when he meets his rival me, he tries to show off his superiority. He only knows how to flirt with girls by being sarcastic and cynical. Typical spoiled brat behavior," Xiao Zhi casually commented.

"Mr. Ash, it's been a long time." Robert stepped forward and greeted him. "The battle just now was exciting, and your Milotic was especially magnificent."

"Mr. Robert, you flatter me," Ash said modestly with a smile. "Are you also here for the Kalina Conference?"

“I can only visit this time; I can’t participate,” Robert said regretfully, shaking his head. “My Milotic has run into some problems and needs to rest for a while.”

"what happened?"

“It was Team Magma,” Robert explained. “I happened to be visiting the Ocean Museum when they launched a large-scale operation, and Milotic was seriously injured in the conflict.”

"How is it now? I can help treat it," Xiao Zhi asked anxiously.

Although they had only met once before, Xiaozhi had a good impression of Robert and would never refuse to help him if he could.

“Thank you for your kind offer, but Milotic is fine now… I want it to rest and recover, so it won’t be participating this time.” Robert shook his head and declined.

"Okay..." Seeing that Robert had made his decision, Xiaozhi didn't say anything more.

But he was still puzzled as to who in Team Magma could defeat this powerful Coordinator.

“The team leader is a woman, whom the Magma team calls Fire Goose,” Robert explained. “She can not only Mega Evolve Camerupt, but also possesses superb and flashy battle skills… Even though I have a type advantage, I am still no match for her.”

"Fire Goose?" Ash was taken aback.
