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

It had previously sensed the lightning shooting from the direction of Marie's City and knew that it was the power released by Pikachu, so it wanted to test the opponent's strength.

Now that I've tried it, I've found that Pikachu is indeed stronger... so I might as well just give up and stop fighting, what else can I do?

Going all out in a battle? That's such a hassle!

"Tapu Bulu, wait a minute!" Ash quickly called out to the other. "I'm here to watch Sabrina and Mr. Modan's big test... Before that, could I borrow your place to train?"

"Moo." Tapu Moo nodded. It flew to a fruit tree laden with fruit, shook the trunk vigorously, and pointed to the pile of fruit on the ground to signal to Ash.

"Does this mean... consent?" Mao asked uncertainly.

"They definitely agreed, and they even provided food." Shui Lian nodded in surprise. "That's really good treatment."

“The guardian deities of the four Alola Islands all have a soft spot for this kid,” Merdan explained from the side.

Last night at the dinner party, Mordan was actually complaining in his heart that Ash's so-called "conference champion is the first League champion" was meaningless.

Ash is a highly sought-after individual, recognized by all four Guardian Deities and destined to become the King of Alola.

In this scenario, if the Manaro Tournament championship falls to another, the guardian deity Tapu will definitely raze that artificial island to the ground!

"I can only say I'm deeply grateful for your kindness." Xiao Zhi didn't want to talk too much about it, since anything he said would sound like he was showing off.

He chose an open space and prepared to begin his cultivation.

The other students seemed to know that they couldn't envy this kind of thing, so they all composed themselves and started preparing for the special training... but they mostly observed Xiaozhi's actions.

At this point, Ash had already sent Pikachu and the other main attackers out to roam freely.

Among them, Charizard was joined by Talonflame and Heracross; this group was responsible for taking care of the Burning Bug eggs.

The egg is about to hatch, and the higher the surrounding temperature, the better. With the help of the Insect King activating the power of the stone slab, the Burning Insect can continue to grow stronger inside the egg.

Froakie stayed by Ash's side to serve as his instructor.

"Growlizard, Chikorita, Venusaur, come out!" Ash sent out three Grass-type Pokémon, then solemnly turned to Grovyle, "You're the main character of today's training, so practice with Froakie first."

"Eee!" Upon hearing this, the forest lizard immediately activated, stomping its foot to open up the grassy area.

Just as it was about to continue its attack, the frog head frog suddenly fired a water cannon at it.

Unable to dodge in time, the forest lizard had no choice but to endure the attack and slide down the grass, only to be easily defended by the frog with its protective ability.

In the ensuing exchange of attacks, Froghead Frog clearly gained the upper hand.

The forest lizard used its blades to attack at close range, but the frog anticipated the attack path and retaliated with a juggling and trash-shooting attack, ultimately suffering a loss itself.

If it unleashes a wide-range attack like Mega Absorption or Leaf Storm, Froakie will simply use Substitute or Shadow Clone to avoid its attack, followed immediately by Ice Beam to counterattack.

Even when the Forest Lizard uses its high-speed movement, the Froghead Frog can still keep up with the attack with unparalleled reflexes, or set up various defenses with poison, ice, and flying attributes around itself, making its opponents hesitate to attack.

"Eek..." Finally, the forest lizard, worn down by its patience, glared and forcefully gathered its power, intending to activate the Sunblade...

But all their hopes were dashed by the frog's rain prayer.

"Let's stop here," Ash said, stopping the sparring match.

Froakie leisurely returned to Ash's side, still looking calm and composed, while Grovyle, despite not being seriously injured, looked rather disheveled.

"Forest Lizard, you are not weak now, but there is still room for improvement."

Ash needs to clarify one point: he pulled the Forest Lizard out for special training not because he was dissatisfied with its strength, but simply because it was its turn.

Since the Silver Conference ended, Ash has caught more than a dozen Pokémon in a short period of time. Not only are they all of excellent quality, but they are also the main Pokémon of Hoenn, Sinnoh and Kalos.

This is Ash's training method. Good Pokémon should be caught early, and it doesn't matter if they don't have a chance to perform in the short term. They will eventually have a chance to shine.

Take the frog for example. It could have evolved long ago, but it has been diligently honing its skills and waiting for the right opportunity.

The same goes for the Forest Lizard; it was able to defeat the Mud Golem in a one-on-one fight, and its strength actually surpassed that of the Lizard King from the Frontier Era.

However, it didn't stand out as much among Ash's group of proud and powerful warriors.

As the top Hoenn in the anime, Ash naturally hopes it can become even stronger.

"Frog, show it the Freeze Punch!" "Frog!"

Upon hearing Ash's instruction, Froakie conjured a cold light in its palm, and a kunai-shaped ice spike appeared in its hand, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye!

"Ee?" The forest lizard rubbed its eyes in surprise. The frog's attack was retracted incredibly quickly, and it even doubted whether it had seen correctly.

"This is the first direction you should strive for. If you want to be an assassin, don't make your moves too aggressive or wide-ranging, like the Leaf Blade."

According to game data, the Forest Lizard and the Frog have very similar species distributions, so it has been training with the Frog as a template.

It's impossible for it to become a ninja, but it's perfectly acceptable to go the assassin route.

Having trained to this point, its speed, strength, and reaction ability are all without any weaknesses; the only thing it lacks is its attack method.

The Forest Lizard's special moves are generally too powerful; no matter how fast it is, the opponent can easily see its attack path.

Just think about it, it's only a Leaf Blade with a power of 90, but it insists on turning the leaves on its arm into the shape of a long blade... Grass-type moves already have limited coverage, and if the opponent is prepared in advance, it's practically exposing its own weakness.

"Under the premise of ensuring power, launching highly concealed, highly precise assassinations that focus on vital points is your next important task," Xiao Zhi solemnly advised, then changed the subject, "In addition, you need to master the right timing to use the Solar Blade move."

The Forest Lizard loves using Solar Blade, and Ash never objects to it attacking head-on; after all… even a peerless assassin is still an assassin.

But you can't unleash your ultimate skill anytime. Like in the situation just now, charging up your power in front of your opponent is just plain suicidal.

"Ee..." The forest lizard seemed a little confused, but at this moment, it suddenly felt a power full of natural energy flowing into its body from its feet!

"Bana~" It's Venusaur, it's opening up Grassy Terrain!

"Knock~ Tap!" The coal turtle, having just finished its training, was not idle either. As soon as the drought was activated, all the sunlight began to converge on the forest lizard.

"Maga!" The geranium flashed with light, casting a series of light walls, halving reflections, and mysterious protections in a short period of time, while also filling the entire area with a sweet fragrance!

"Lie~" The Arrowhawk, which was supposed to be preparing to roost, also joined in the fun and swung a Tailwind Shot over.

"Eek..." All the power gathered around him at the same time, and the forest lizard felt as if his body was about to explode!

It instinctively took the branch it was holding in its mouth, and a dazzling light immediately condensed on it, eventually transforming into an extremely majestic giant sword!

It is so heavy that even a forest lizard cannot grasp it with one hand!

"Got it? Now you can go unleash your full power~" Xiao Zhi said with a smile.

"Ee!" The forest lizard's confusion vanished, and it firmly gripped the lightsaber with both hands.

It truly understood that being able to unite the strength of its partners was also a form of power!

"Moo?" The commotion on Ash's side even startled Tapu Boom, which looked at the Forest Lizard holding the lightsaber with surprise, its face showing an eager expression.

"Let's attack. It'll be a good opportunity for Tapu Bulu to test the results."

"Ee!" With Ash's approval, Grovyle no longer hesitated. It rushed towards Tapu Bulu at an extremely fast speed and slashed down with both hands, wielding its lightsaber with all its might!

Tapu Bulu also raised its defenses and propped up its wooden horns to meet the attack head-on!

Boom!

The terrifying energy exploded in an instant, and the scattered points of light were so bright that everyone couldn't open their eyes!

When everything calmed down, everyone found the forest lizard standing there in a sorry state, trembling all over, half of its body charred black by the energy.

Before it lay a still-smoking ravine, at the end of which lay Tapu Bulu lying on the ground, its carapace and horns bearing clear cracks!

"Great, that sword strike was absolutely awesome!" Ash clapped his hands with a smile, and at the same time began to use the power of Viridian to heal Grovyle and Tapu Bulu.

"Eee...Eee!!" After a moment of stunned silence, the forest lizard couldn't help but let out a joyful roar.

This is pure excitement, because I've found my own path to becoming stronger!

While everyone was congratulating the Forest Lizard and marveling at Ash's training, the small team that had been training in the sandstorm finally arrived at the Harvest Ruins.

The Mudkip fish looked travel-worn, but they all seemed to be in good spirits…

However, that's not the main point; they actually managed to find a Pokémon!

A purple-bodied, big-headed baby with three sharp needle-like spikes on its head…

"Poisoned Baby?!" Ash exclaimed in shock!

Meanwhile, Kukui also re-established contact with the Haonohaono resort.

"What did you say... Kashiri was attacked?!"

Chapter 761 A Way to Stabilize Morale: Reviving the Overlord Mimikyu!

Poison Baby…

If Ash were to encounter it suddenly at this time, his first reaction would definitely not be one of friendliness!

Fortunately, it is currently in a coma, so it is relatively easy for Ash to deal with it, whether by directly searching its memories or by using the power of the Psychic to create a mental connection.

"What happened?"

"Metal~" Metagross, who had secretly provided insurance for the five little ones, explained when Ash asked the question.

The five little ones found Poison Baby while traveling together in the desert. It seems that the Poison Baby couldn't withstand the damage of the sandstorm and was knocked unconscious.

It was in quite a dangerous situation; if Metagross hadn't intervened in time... it might have been eaten by Goomy!

"Moo!" The appearance of Poison Baby also startled Tapu Moo Moo.

It initially pounced angrily, but after carefully sensing the surroundings for a while, it gradually calmed down.
