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

"Meow!" The Fire-spotted Cat was annoyed and bared its four fangs, biting down.

The mane-like werewolf was happy to play with it, and the two little ones began to frolic happily.

Xiao Zhi didn't urge them. During this time, he chatted with the long-haired dog and occasionally let the other companions come out for some fresh air, leisurely enjoying the afternoon.

He only suggested setting off when it got dark.

"Let's go to the Manaro Arena and have dinner there."

"Woof~" The long-haired dog had no objection to this; being able to witness a conference of human trainers was a rare experience for it.

More importantly, it allows Litten to see Ash in battle more often, which will definitely strengthen its sense of belonging.

The two slowly moved out of their little nest, only to find that the pair of cat and dog brothers were gone. After investigating, Xiao Zhi discovered that they had run off to the beach.

When he arrived with the long-haired dog, he found Litten confronting Gladion's Night Wolf.

The latter's fur was full of sand, and the chuunibyou boy's face was extremely sour. It was probably because the Litten had accidentally kicked out a sandstorm while playing...

And right now... it's protecting the Lycanroc!

Ash quickly realized that something was wrong with his werewolf.

It kept its eyes fixed on the sea level, as if searching for something.

During this time, its expression gradually became ferocious...

"Awoo..." Gladion's night wolf let out a faint howl, seemingly influenced by the daytime werewolf, its emotions becoming increasingly agitated.

"Awooo!" Finally, it could no longer restrain itself, leaping over the Firefly's head and biting at the Daylight Werewolf's neck!

"Rockhound, no!"

"Ouch!!"

Gladio couldn't stop it in time, and suddenly the day wolf swung its claws, and the immense force that appeared out of nowhere sent the night wolf flying far away!

Its body has also degenerated into a rock dog that hasn't been seen for a long time!

"Woof!" The rockhound pawed at the ground restlessly, its eyes fixed on the setting sun that was about to sink back into the sea...

hum!

The golden sunset suddenly turned into a strange green, like a ray containing special power, shooting straight from the sea surface into the rock dog's eyes!

"At a time like this?" Ash was startled, but then overjoyed!

This is the unique green flash of Alola, and it's the phenomenon Ash has been waiting for!

The final piece of Rockruff's evolution puzzle is finally about to be completed!

Bathed in the green sunset, Rockhound's body began to elongate again, seemingly transforming back into the shape of a daytime werewolf. However, as the green light gradually faded, it revealed a completely new form.

It does indeed resemble daytime, but its entire body is covered in orange fur, and its eyes are emerald green, just like the green flash from before!

It also has the same ring of rock spikes as the daytime werewolf around its neck, but on its head are the night wolf's signature jet-black rock horns.

A combination of daytime and nighttime forms, twilight is the time when day and night alternate!

"Finally, the final evolution is complete... Lycanroc Dusk Mode!"

"Awooo!" The newly evolved Twilight Werewolf let out a joyful howl towards the sea.

That long, distant roar seemed to carry a powerful and domineering aura, even making the night wolf tremble all over when it was right next to it.

"Awoo!" "Awoo!"

Not far away, two more wolf howls rang out, each one carrying a clear challenge!

"Is that... Pawprint Hill?" Ash examined it closely and confirmed that it should be a special area where wild Pokémon gather.

In the original story, Rockruff also once went there alone at night to battle those wild Pokémon until he was covered in wounds.

In today's world, Rockruff was caught by Ash from the very beginning, so it missed this experience.

"Let's take the long-haired dog to the athletes' village to settle in first, and then go to Pawprint Hill tonight to see what it's like."

"Ouch!"

A flash of red light appeared in the werewolf's eyes, clearly indicating that it was also looking forward to the night's adventure.

Chapter 825 The Great Battle at Claw Mark Hill!

Pawprint Hill is a unique habitat for wild Pokémon on Melemele Island, named for its overall shape resembling a giant animal claw.

The leaders of Rock Mountain are a pair of mane rock werewolves with daytime and nighttime forms. Every nightfall, they howl at the moon and fight each other.

At that time, all the Pokémon will fight together, unleashing their passion to the fullest!

It is said that the position of king of Clawprint Hill has remained vacant because the two werewolves have never been able to determine a true winner.

"So, the Pokémon there are all very ambitious?" On the way there, Gary was in high spirits. "If I find one that catches my eye, I might catch it."

When Ash's Lycanroc evolved, it not only affected Gladion's Dusknoir nearby, but also alerted the two Lycanrocs at Pawprint Hill.

Since their opponent had challenged them to a duel using a wolf howl, Ash and Lycanroc were naturally not going to back down.

After bringing the long-haired dogs back to the contestant village, Ash told his friends about it, and as a result, in addition to Litten, Gary and Yuuki also wanted to join in the fun.

These two individuals come from similar family backgrounds and were both influenced by an authoritative Pokémon professor. Whether it was Lycanroc's branched evolution or the local Pokémon ecology of Alola, the attraction for them was unprecedented.

So after nightfall, the three of them went to Clawprint Hill.

Ash had just left the nearby jungle when he encountered Gladion again.

He was wandering around the entrance to the rocky mountain with his night wolf.

Unlike the usual hustle and bustle of the night, Clawprint Hill was completely silent at this moment, and there was even a faint sense of solemnity, as if troops were arrayed in battle!

"You came here because of Lycanroc's call, right? Then come in with us." Ash casually said to Gladion, and then led Gary and Yuuki into the rocky area.

When they arrived at the huge platform at the end of the road, there were indeed many wild Pokémon gathered there!

There are over thirty creatures in total, including the Sudowoodo Tree, Mantle Rock, Machoke, and Rogue Panda!

They all looked ready for battle, their eyes filled with menacing intent, which even made the Fire Spotted Cat bristle on the spot.

"What...what are they trying to do?" Gladio followed, and faced with this scene, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest.

The night wolf beside him involuntarily bared its canine teeth, and its wolf eyes turned a deeper, blood-red color than usual!

Following its gaze, Gladion saw a pair of mane rock werewolves, one in daylight and the other in night, on a smaller platform above.

"This is blocking our way, but it's also a kind of welcoming ceremony," Ash explained. "Once we get past these Pokémon, we'll be qualified to go to that high platform and officially begin the battle for the Wolf King with the two Lycanrocs!"

"Pfft~" A Charizard stepped out from the crowd, affirming Ash's words while also revealing a contemptuous expression.

To see the leader, you must first defeat us... but you simply cannot do so~

Wild Pokémon often trash-talk each other before battles, and Charizard's original words are even more offensive than Ash's translation.

"Meow!" This provocation immediately enraged the Litten, which unleashed a powerful attack.

However, the Magmar also unleashed a powerful breath attack, and the flames from its follow-up attack completely engulfed the Litten's special move as it continued its roaring attack.

hum~

Ash's Poké Ball quietly activated, and Dusk Wolfman finally appeared. It simply raised its front paw and casually swiped, tearing the large flame into pieces!

"Pfft..."

Bang!

While the Duckbill Fire Dragon was still wondering, the Dusk Werewolf used Rock Rush to make a rapid dash and dealt a heavy blow to its opponent!

Boom!

Immediately afterwards, it slammed its powerful forelimbs into the ground, and the entire Claw Mark Hill shook violently under the force of the earthquake!

Not only did the Magmar leave the field, but a group of Pokémon around it also fell over in disarray!

"Roar!" *N

Angry roars erupted from the mouths of all the Pokémon, throwing the entire Pawprint Hill into chaos!

However, the Twilight Werewolf didn't care at all.

After casually taking care of a few nearby creatures, it quickly found a passage to the high platform and then began its reckless advance!

It charged into the midst of the Pokémon with its agility, using its front paws to attack from both sides, and even its teeth and tail as weapons, carving out a path upwards.

The Pokémon at Claw Hill fought back relentlessly, but most of them couldn't even last a single round before collapsing helplessly under the claws of the Twilight Lycanroc.

Even after stepping onto the platform where the other two werewolves were, it still maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

"Such powerful attack!" This scene left Yuuki utterly astonished.

According to his understanding, Ash's Dusk Lycanroc is far more powerful than Daytime Lycanroc!

"Dusk Lycanroc has the Hard Claw ability, so contact moves can deal more power," Ash casually explained, also speaking to Gladion.

After the twilight werewolves began their charge, Gladio's night wolves couldn't resist joining the fray.

It chose a different path to the summit, and although it encountered fewer obstacles, it still went through a tough battle.

"Huh?" The two White Night Wolves on the high platform exchanged a glance, seemingly reaching some kind of consensus.
