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

This kind of power boost might be more noticeable when the Pokémon is relatively weak; however, as the number of times it's used increases, it eventually becomes just a ritual.

Most of the people attending the festival are locals, and their Pokémon have worn the crown multiple times, so the effect is very limited.

Soon, it was Serena's turn to stand in front of Liz.

"Is Serena's partner the Long-tailed Fire Fox? She looks beautiful wearing the crown," Liz exclaimed after crowning the Long-tailed Fire Fox.

Magical Fox already has a princess-like air about her, and wearing a crown adds even more elegance.

Of course, it would look even better in gold.

hum!

Just when everyone thought it was time to change the person, something strange happened around Long-tailed Fire Fox.

Suddenly, a wisp of fire burst forth from the crown, quickly transforming into a raging inferno that spread throughout the long-tailed fire fox's entire body!

But before anyone could be shocked or worried, the long-tailed fire fox calmly drew out his wand and casually tapped it, attracting all the flames.

The raging flames transformed into a fire serpent, which then became as obedient as a pet. It flew up and down with the long-tailed fire fox's wand, its size decreasing until it was completely absorbed into the magical girl fox's body.

In an instant, the long-tailed fire fox felt its internal energy increase significantly, even reaching the edge of evolution!

"That's amazing! To be able to manipulate flames to this extent!" Liz exclaimed in amazement.

"The main thing is that the props are good." Serena smiled modestly, while glancing at someone with a smile in her eyes.

The long-tailed fire fox was able to perform like this thanks to that magic wand.

With Tapu Bulu's wooden horn as the shaft and Ho-Oh's rainbow feather as the core, this wand, crafted by Ash himself, can be considered a top-tier item.

The boost to fire-attribute special moves alone exceeds 50%.

Moreover, as long as the Longtail Firefox continues to grow stronger, it can still be used even when it reaches the Champion level!

"Lime, it's your turn." After Serena went down, Ash reminded her and pushed Litten onto the stage.

"Little guy, you need to become stronger."

"Meow!" Liz placed the crown on the Firefly's head, and a surge of heat immediately flowed into the Firefly's body, causing its mane to stand on end.

The effect was pretty good. Although it couldn't match the power of a long-tailed Fiery Fox using a magic wand, it was still much stronger than the average Pokémon you encounter on the street.

Ash has high hopes for Chimchar.

"Wow!" After standing on the platform, Chimchar immediately stretched out his hands, as if asking Liz for the crown.

Knowing that this was Ash's Pokémon, Liz was very forgiving and allowed Chimchar to crown itself.

However, when Ash sees Chimchar holding up the crown and putting it on his own head, he can't help but think of a certain line.

Once you put on the golden headband, you're no longer an ordinary person...

boom! !

An intense, almost violent, aura exploded out instantly, engulfing the little fire monkey's body in a powerful burst of flames, and even causing it to involuntarily erupt into a raging inferno!

A pillar of fire soars into the sky like a fiery dragon, and the rolling heat can even suffocate those nearby... This is Chimchar's super-powerful Blaze ability, making its first public appearance!

Its flames even affected something on the mountaintop, as a burst of flames also erupted from the top of Mount Vera, seemingly as a show of defiance.

Soon, all the strange phenomena disappeared.

The little fire monkey slowly opened its eyes. It looked down at its hands, took off the crown and returned it to Liz, and then finally couldn't contain its excitement and excitedly did a series of somersaults.

The flames behind it grew larger, and it performed a set of monkey punches with great energy, each punch and kick seemingly carrying a scorching heat.

"As expected of Ash's Pokémon, the effect is amazing!" Liz exclaimed in surprise.

"It's quite special, and it also has reliable partners to help it." Ash didn't elaborate further.

Today's scene was carefully planned by him. In order to use the Crown of Vera to enhance the power of Little Fire Monkey, he even specially brought back a partner who was training in another place.

The other party has completely taken control of Mount Vera, so they can certainly unleash the power of the crown to the maximum extent.

"Wow!" The little fire monkey danced with joy as it noticed its increased power.

Isn't this a good thing?

It doesn't need such a bumpy experience; it can become very strong simply by being happy all the time.

Chapter 772 Kachi, Becomes a Male Concubine... Uh, a Male Dancer, I guess~

The coronation ceremony of the Crown of Vera continued, and after the commotion caused by Ash subsided, it was finally Kiawe's turn.

Many people were watching this scene closely, and because of the series of incidents that had just occurred, they were hoping to see some more exciting moments.

Meanwhile, a mysterious figure lurked in the shadows, staring intently at the crown.

"Kachi, you and BlastTurtlemon, keep getting stronger this year!" Liz encouraged with a smile, intending to place the crown on BlastTurtlemon's head...

call out!

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, and the crown in Liz's hand vanished.

"What?" Kiawe was startled. He and Turtlemon turned their heads at the same time and found that the 'bandit' who stole the crown was actually an Alolan Marowak with a black body and a flame symbol on its head!

"Garra garra, give the crown back!" Kachi immediately shouted righteously.

The other party simply ignored him, putting the crown on his head and arrogantly swinging the bone club.

"You despicable bastard!" "Stop being so arrogant!"

This action naturally amused a group of onlookers, but just as everyone was getting excited, Gala Gala suddenly spewed out a ball of flame that obscured everyone's vision.

Once the flames subsided, it had already fled to the middle of the mountain path, patted its rear end in a provocative gesture towards the crowd, and then dashed up the volcano.

"Stop right there!" Kachi roared from behind. "Damn it, I'm going to take the crown back!"

"Go, Kachi!" Liz suddenly urged passionately, "This is your trial, you must... uh, you absolutely must complete it!"

However, her seriousness only lasted for half a second before she began to suppress a laugh, as if she was trying hard to hold back her surging laughter.

Kachi, already caught up in the moment, didn't realize this. Upon learning that it was actually a test, he immediately led Blazing Turtle Beast in a frantic chase up the mountain.

"Leave things here to Kiawe, everyone can disperse now." Liz organized the scene and dispersed the onlookers before joining Ash and the others.

"Kiawe's test is finally over... Pfft, hahaha!" When talking to Ash about the test, she really couldn't help but laugh, and even burst into tears.

"What exactly is going on with Kachi's test?" Mao asked, puzzled.

"We'll find out when we get up the mountain," Xiao Zhi said, unable to suppress a smile.

That Gara Gara was actually arranged by him through Old Spray, just to lure Kachi to the top of the mountain.

Although it was Ash's first time visiting Mount Verna, with Charizard's help, he recognized all the Pokémon there...

They naturally knew how difficult it was for the mountaintop overlord to speak of.

The group climbed to the top of the mountain with great curiosity. They had just stood still when they saw Blazing Turtlemon being launched into the air by a Bone Boomerang.

"That Gara Gara is so strong, Kachi is actually at a disadvantage?" Mamane was surprised to see this, Kachi was simply being played by his opponent.

Gara Gara isn't particularly fast, but it's very agile and always manages to dodge Blazemon's attacks with its unpredictable movements.

Moreover, its point-to-area attacks are often very precise, and can even accurately avoid the trap shells of the Blazing Turtle Beast!

“Look, doesn’t that clucking thing look like it’s dancing?” After watching for a while, Serena suddenly realized.

The clattering steps, including the movement of turning the bone stick, are very much like a torch dance.

This is a popular dance in Alora, especially on Akala Island, where experienced fire dancers are highly respected.

"Torch Dance... I understand! Blazing Turtle, use Shell Smash!" Hearing Serena's instructions, Kachi immediately rallied his spirits.

He first had TurtleBeast hatch to regain its speed advantage, and then began to carefully observe Marowak's movements, quickly confirming its rhythm!

"Counterattack! Dragon Tail, Stone Attack!"

In the next clash, Marowak found that its movements suddenly became unresponsive, with Turtlemon accurately blocking its path every time.

After the bone club was flung away by the dragon's tail, it was surrounded by the suddenly rising stone pillars!

"Here it comes! This is my whole body, my whole spirit, my whole strength, all of Z, burning with the same fiery passion as Mount Akara! Super Extreme Blaze Bullet!!"

Boom!

When the final attack landed, Gara Gara collapsed helplessly, and the crown on his head fell to the side.

"Garra garra, I won!" Kachi declared in a deep voice, "The Crown of Vera should also..."

puff!

Just as he was about to reach for the crown, a spray of venom suddenly shot out at his feet. Then, several somewhat lewd figures darted out and took turns tossing and catching the crown until it was finally caught by a slender hand.

"Lizard~" The uninvited guest leisurely stroked the crown in his hand, looking at Kachi's charming eyes with obvious provocation and aggression.

The Flame Queen Lizard, ruler of the Vera Volcano's reverse harem of Night Thief Salamanders!

It beckoned with its finger behind it, and immediately a large group of fire lizards came tumbling and scrambling over.

Their division of labor was very clear: some formed a throne for the Flame Queen Lizard to sit on, some ran down the mountain to rescue Gara Gara, and most of them stood at the top of the mountain in all directions, completely surrounding everyone.

"Kachi's test, is it going to be about defeating it?" Mao asked in astonishment.

“There’s no way we can win,” Lillie shook her head. “The Flame Queen Lizard and the Night Thief Lizard have extremely strong group consciousness. If Kachi dares to attack the Flame Queen Lizard, even we will be surrounded and attacked!”
