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

When the crayfish saw that its opponent had suddenly become more resilient, it started swinging its claws around like a propeller with great enthusiasm!

In the final battle, Treecko faced Kirlia. Psychic-type Pokémon are indeed troublesome, but Treecko used Grassy Terrain and Agility to establish an absolute speed advantage.

After several swift sliding tackles through the grass, Kirlia covered her skirt in shame and indignation...

"Oh dear~" Ash couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he saw this. Considering the genders of Treecko and Kirlia, this kind of fighting style was indeed a bit sneaky.

"That's about enough, let's finish them off. Treecko, Iron Tail! Mudkip, Kick-Down! Corpse Lobster, Crab Punch!"

"Chamo!" Treecko was the first to respond, landing Grass Slide and then leaping up quickly, using Iron Tail to send Kirlia flying into the air at close range!

At the same time, its whole body began to emit white light, and it evolved into a tall and agile forest lizard when it landed!

"Garra!" As if deliberately trying to outdo each other, Mudkip tripped and knocked down the large wolfhound that stumbled and pounced on him.

When the large wolfhound finally managed to see through its blurry eyes, it discovered that its opponent had already seen through everything…

The newly evolved Mudkip raised one leg and slammed it down, the endless shockwave engulfing the Great Hound's body.

earthquake!

However, compared to the Grass Master and Water Master, the crayfish encountered a bit of an unexpected situation.

"Heh...heh?!" Upon hearing Ash's command, Corphish locked onto Dusknoir, whose feet were already slammed into the ground, and swung its giant pincers with all its might...

But it suddenly missed its target and almost fell face-first into the mud because it lost its balance.

It wasn't until it realized what was happening that it discovered one of its pliers had fallen off!

"Lobster Soldier... Is it alright?" Xiaoyao was startled.

"It should be fine..." Lillie said uncertainly. "I read in a book that the claws of the Lobster Soldier and the Iron Claw Lobster are easy to detach, but I don't know if it hurts..."

"Heh? Hehehe!"

Well, their worries were completely unnecessary.

The lobster soldier seemed completely oblivious to the pain, instead grinning and laughing, using its fallen pincers as hammers to strike the Night Giant repeatedly.

Eighty, eighty, eighty…

In that instant, Ash felt his DNA cheering and jumping for joy.

However, he quickly came to his senses and stopped the crayfish from playing with him.

"Try to go a step further. Your body can no longer handle your full strength!"

"Hey...swoosh!" The lobster soldier clearly realized this as well. It no longer suppressed its power. With a flash of white light, it had evolved into a ferocious-looking iron-clawed lobster!

Even more amazingly, the pincers that had fallen off have regrown due to evolution, and even shimmer with a metallic luster!

"Heh...heh?" The Iron Claw Lobster was admiring its new claws. It was about to test their power on the Night Giant when it found that the latter had already passed out.

During the same evolution, the Hoennium creatures did a great job completing Ash's task.

Ash turned his gaze back to Swellow, which was about to determine a winner with Salamence.

This duel is destined to be difficult. The only advantage of the Pride Swallow is its speed after the high-speed boost; otherwise, it is no match for the Salamander.

It might be able to launch a series of attacks with its ferocity, but if the opponent retaliates with just one claw, the damage will be considerable.

Both Pokémon are now panting heavily, but Taillow is clearly at its limit.

Ash could also tell that it was going to use that same old strategy of trading injury for life again.

(You can use recklessness, but you must follow up with a protection move, and then use the air slash during the retreat. Got it?)

"Spar?" Upon hearing Ash's command, Swellow was taken aback.

But it quickly put those words aside and charged forward with all its might!

Reckless!

By forcibly exchanging lives, the salamander was also dragged to the edge of the cliff!

A hint of smugness flashed across Aogu Yan's face. All she had to do next was follow up with more attacks; there was no need for any roundabout tactics.

That's how it won when it defeated Infernape!

"Spah!" The proud swallow cried out in victory, flapping its wings in rage at the salamander...

"Roar!" A terrifying roar suddenly rang out, and the proud swallow felt a strong wind coming, which made it lose its balance and fly backward.

Meanwhile, the salamander opened its blood-red maw and unleashed a desperate, all-or-nothing destructive beam!

"Spah..." Aogu Yan stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the massive energy beam that seemed impossible to avoid... but a swift figure suddenly swept past!

"Fierce!" The one who made the move was the Fierce Arrow Eagle. It pierced through the attack of the Viper Salamander like a sharp arrow and sent it flying far away!

Despite enduring the damage from Hyper Beam and the recoil from Brave Bird, Talonflame remained expressionless. It gave Swellow a cold look before flying straight back to Ash's side.

"You've worked hard." Ash comforted him, and after healing his injury, he put Talonflame back into its Poké Ball.

Afterwards, he went to Aoguyan's side and began to treat its injuries.

“Spa…” Faced with this silent atmosphere, Aogu Yan suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Turtle, do you admit... the battle turned out the same as I predicted?" Ash's sudden question startled Turtle.

But it had to give in because Xiao Zhi read the entire passage first.

After recklessly risking its life, if it can immediately protect itself, it will not lose its balance even if it is blown away by the salamander. In this way, it can easily win with a ranged attack before the opponent can condense the destructive death ray.

but…

"You don't take my words seriously, do you? You think you're amazing just because you beat Turtonator?" Ash said calmly. "But you've overlooked the fact that Salamence is much faster than Turtonator; and it has wings, so as long as it can fly, it still has the ability to fight back."

Swellow wanted to explain itself, perhaps by saying it was just a momentary lapse in judgment, but when faced with Ash's utterly calm gaze, it couldn't utter a word.

"It's alright, you should rest now."

Ash didn't say anything more. He went up to Butler and used his superpowers to firmly restrain him.

At this point, the battle was nearing its end, with most of Team Magma's minions surrendering. Only Goose, relying on Mega Evolution, was still holding its own... and even had a slight advantage.

"Is it already too late..." While using Super Cameroon to force back Clefairy, Fire Goose's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and her voice also carried a hint of coldness.

"No! I can still fight! Damn it... Let me go! I'm going to get Jirachi back!" Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Butler suddenly went berserk and desperately tried to break free from Ash's control!

"Let me go! You bastard, let me go right now... I have to get Jirachi! Otherwise, Diane will... Damn it!!"

"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ash's eyes. Butler's mind had been extremely active just now, even causing his psychic powers to weaken!

This is truly a desperate gamble, to the point where they're willing to risk their lives...

He just mentioned 'Diane', which made Ash understand why his partner had mysteriously turned into a goose.

"Your wife... uh, I mean your assistant, was she kidnapped by them?" Xiao Zhi suddenly asked.

“That’s right… so I have to get Kirachi!” At this point, Butler had nothing left to hide.

Everything he did was to save his childhood sweetheart.

If he fails, Huo Yan, that ruthless woman, will definitely have her subordinates kill him...

"She has been rescued."

"What did you say... Diane?!" Butler was about to retort when he was shocked to find that the person he had been longing for was right in front of him!

Her mouth was taped shut, and her hands were still tied with ropes that hadn't been untied... It really was Diane herself!

"Diane... how could this be?" He stared blankly at Xiaozhi, not even noticing that his restraints had been released.

But the Fire Goose, which was not far away, saw it clearly: Ash had suddenly activated a ring and then grabbed the person!

This bizarre ability…

"Now that we've met, aren't you going to give me a hug?"

"Diane...you're back! That's great!" Hearing Xiaozhi's reminder, Butler could no longer contain himself and hugged his lover tightly.

Ash didn't disturb them. He flashed to Nanami's side, and at the same time, Pikachu unleashed Thunder, ignoring immunity and directly overturning the arrogant Mega Camerupt.

"Sis, I heard this is your best friend?" he asked Nanami with a light laugh.

"Yes, it's a pity he went astray... Do you want to save him?" Nanami naturally took Ash's arm and asked with a meaningful smile.

"No thanks, I'm not interested in yandere types," Xiao Zhi waved his hand in refusal. "I still prefer gentle and elegant types like you, older sister~"

"Yeah, Ash has great taste!"

"You two... that's enough!" Huo Yan gritted her teeth secretly.

What, don't prisoners of war have human rights? Do they have to watch your endless show?!

"Hey, you guys from the Magma team, remember to be smarter next time. Run away as soon as you see me... or you won't be able to escape."

Xiao Zhi easily tied himself and a group of henchmen up like dumplings, and in a great mood, he couldn't help but make a couple of jokes.

"Hmph, do you think I would betray Lord Crimson Flame Pine like a coward?!" Fire Goose snorted coldly as if she were about to die a heroic death.

The way they practically worshipped someone like a god made Nanami frown repeatedly.

"Bonfire, how exactly did Crimson Pine manage to brainwash you...?"
