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

In the one-on-one battle against the Giant, Ash sent out the Hoenn Grass starter with the superior type. Although the two were vastly different in size, the Grovyle was not afraid at all.

hum!

"Forest Lizard, move at high speed!"

The battle began with a signal beam. The Grovyle dashed forward to dodge the attack and, without waiting for Ash to give any further instructions, swung its sharp blade at the leg of the Golem!

Upon seeing this, the clay giant immediately bent down and, using the rotation of its body, forcefully swung its enormous fist, delivering a powerful arm hammer blow to the forest lizard!

"Eek..." The forest lizard was startled and could only barely adjust its body so that the leaf blade grazed the opponent's fist, but it was still shaken by the huge force and its arm went numb.

"Find a way to jump onto its fist!" Upon hearing Ash's command, Grovyle immediately used the leaf on its head to wrap around its opponent's arm, flipped over, and leaped onto the Claydol's arm...

Boom!

The moment it regained its footing, the clay giant slammed its fist into the ground, causing the entire room to shake violently.

"That was close..." Homiga couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She could tell that Ash had made a prediction, otherwise the Grovyle would probably have been hit!

"Eek!" The forest lizard, having escaped death, rallied and used the force of its opponent's sudden punch to leap into the air. It then used its feet to push off the ceiling and plummeted down, slicing through the clay giant's body with its twin blades in mid-air!

Bang!

The clay giant was severely injured and unconsciously took two steps back. The forest lizard seized the opportunity and turned around to deliver another horizontal slash to its ankle!

After this attack, the clay golem was forced to kneel on one knee, and its mobility was greatly restricted.

"babble…"

Bang!

Just when the forest lizard thought victory was assured, the clay giant suddenly unleashed a shadowy attack that, as if guided by precision, chased after the forest lizard and slammed it into the wall of the ruins!

The walls of the ruins shattered instantly from the violent impact, and the forest lizard, its body shimmering with green light, was instantly knocked into a lush state!

"It's Shadow Fist... such terrifying power." Serena gripped her hands tightly in worry.

"Iron Fist ability, huh..." Ash quickly realized that Golem's fist was unusually hard. "But such an attack won't be able to defeat Sceptile!"

"Ee!" The forest lizard suddenly stood up, sweeping away its previous dejection with the sharp aura of its sword dance!

The clay giant seemed to realize this as well. It suddenly changed its form, retracted its legs to reveal a huge firing port, and transformed itself into a giant cannon!

A powerful energy began to gather at the cannon's muzzle; this would be the Clay Golem's final blow!

"Let's also gather our strength and fight it head-on!" "Eee!"

Ash's instructions were exactly what the Forest Lizard wanted. It swung its arm behind its back, and the emerald green blade was now stained with dazzling golden light!

hum!

"Go, Sunblade!" "Eek!!"

Faced with the oncoming gigantic electric cannon beam, the forest lizard slashed out with its dazzling lightsaber. The flashing blade split the incoming energy in two and then sliced ​​straight through the clay giant's body!

Bang!

Their forms intertwined, and the clay giant knelt heavily on the ground, bowing its head...

"Eee!" The forest lizard, having risen and sheathed its sword, let out a triumphant roar after defeating its formidable foe.

"Great! The forest lizard won... What, what is that?" Just as Lillie was about to congratulate him, she suddenly noticed something fall in front of the clay golem.

That thing, which seemed to be a seal stuck to its chest, had just been split in two by the forest lizard, revealing a huge crack in its chest!

"Roar!" The clay giant, which had been silent all along, suddenly roared madly. Violent energy poured out from the crack in its chest, even dyeing the patterns all over its body a strange scarlet!

Driven by its rampaging energy, it rose to its feet and slammed its enormous fist down heavily on the forest lizard!

"babble…"

The forest lizard stiffened, and the three women watching simultaneously closed their eyes tightly…

Bang! !

A deafening explosion filled everyone's eardrums, but the three women did not hear the forest lizard's screams, nor did it feel any pain.

Only then did they realize that it was Ash who had blocked the attack for the Grovyle!

His feet dug deep into the floor, and with disproportionately large fists, he withstood the raging blow from the clay giant!

"Holy crap... is this even human?" Homiga cursed in disbelief.

She turned to Serena, her eyes now clearly more scrutinizing: "This guy is this strong, don't you find it unbearable...?"

"I... this isn't the time to talk about this, is it?!" Serena covered her face in embarrassment and indignation.

How do I know if I can stand it if I haven't tried it myself?

Right now, only Xiao Lan probably knows the truth about this...

"Metamorphose, use your psychic powers to subdue it." There was a slight mishap, but Ash wasn't worried. He and Metagross worked together and quickly stopped the Claydol from moving.

After examining the crack in the other's chest, Ash pondered for a moment, then took out a huge talisman from his backpack and tossed it to the Forest Lizard.

"Go, stick this on its chest."

The forest lizard immediately complied, leaping onto the clay giant's shoulder and smearing the object in its hand onto the crack.

Ash and Metagross simultaneously unleashed their psychic powers, pinning the two pins together and finally stopping the energy leakage.

Having lost the source of its rampage, the clay giant returned to normal, weakly sitting down on the ground.

"Is it resolved...? Then what was it?" Homiga asked, puzzled.

The thing that Ash took out had a very unique design, somewhat like something a baby would use... and also somewhat like something Homiga would use himself. In short, it was quite bizarre.

“That’s a specially made cursed symbol, which his Gengar used to use,” Serena explained.

The item Ash used to reseal Claydol was, of course, Gengar's diaper... uh, that high-quality cursed charm made by Granny Agatha herself, using the resentment of a ghost girl as material.

A Pokémon can only hold one item at a time, so Gengar had to change out of its diaper after it got the Mega Stone.

Ash originally planned to cut it off and use it to support the twins of Dragapult, but he didn't expect to use it here ahead of time.

But it's quite a coincidence. This thing looks awkward on Gengar, but it's like a band-aid on Claydol, the size and shape are just right.

"Buzz...buzz!" The Claydot seemed to regain its senses. It rubbed its dazed head, knelt down on one knee, and bowed to Ash in gratitude.

At the same time, they also offered their loyalty voluntarily.

"Does this mean submission?" Homiga asked curiously.

“The forest lizard broke its seal, and the rampage of energy washed away its original mission. It is no longer the guardian of the ruins,” Ash explained. “And I was fortunate enough to gain its recognition, and it is willing to stay by my side.”

"Buzz!" The clay giant nodded excitedly. It spun around a few times and finally found the wall that the forest lizard had just broken through. It immediately rushed over and rammed it hard.

Boom!

As the wall peeled away, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes!

Chapter 737 The Golden City is actually a delivery room

"Could all of these... be made of gold?"

Facing a corridor full of glittering gold, Homiga's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Truly worthy of being called the Golden City..." Serena couldn't help but exclaim.

If the Basilica of Balfam is a place where art and wealth coexist, then the Golden City is pure nouveau riche.

"Is this what the clay giant is trying to protect?" Lillie asked curiously.

"No, there are even more precious treasures," Ash said, shaking his head.

Compared to real treasures, gold is nothing.

The clay giant then squeezed into the passageway, volunteering to lead the way and guiding everyone to the end of the corridor.

On the wall there is a lifelike mural of a fire moth, a huge fire moth spreading its golden wings of fire, like a six-winged angel silently looking down on all living beings.

Below the murals are engraved many ancient characters, recording the connection between this golden city and the fire moth.

Legend has it that in ancient times, this place was once threatened by volcanic eruptions. At that time, volcanic ash blocked out the sun, plunging the entire region into severe cold.

It was the fire moth that dispelled the gloom and brought warmth to people suffering from hunger and cold. So later generations built this magnificent golden city to worship the fire moth, which was regarded as a god.

"Wait... there's a line of text that's different." Ash read to the end and discovered that one line described something else entirely: "The birthplace of the universe, and also its origin... Is this a stone tablet?!"

The treasure he had roughly explored before was actually here!

Ash reached out and gently stroked the line of text. Under the influence of the red chains, the golden surface of the wall gradually began to peel away, and the originally irregular stones gradually transformed into a slab of stone that looked like jade.

Jade insect slate!

After the stone slab was put away, a hidden cavity was revealed below the mural. It looked like a secret nest, with several soft clumps of grass and a few eggs placed on a pure gold base.

Most of the eggs have milky white shells with flame-like red patterns, but the one closest to Ash is special. Its shell is brighter and the patterns are emerald green, similar to the color of the Jade Beetle Slate.

"Are these all eggs of the burning worm?" Homiga exclaimed in surprise. "My God, this is an absolutely groundbreaking discovery!"

Flameworm is the predecessor of Volcarona. Although this type of Pokémon is not a pseudo-legendary, it is even rarer than pseudo-legendary Pokémon!

boom!

As everyone was marveling at the sight, a burst of fire suddenly flew out from the passageway behind the nest, and at the same time, a golden wall beside them spun open, revealing the figures of two insect-type Pokémon.
