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

In other words, even just standing there, Xiao Xiaodai already looks about the same size as his three companions.

Add to that its mother behind it, and this is clearly a scene of the final boss leading his minions to beat up three miserable players.

"Looks like they're going all out... Dragonite, Dragon Dance!" The battle resumed, and Lance was the first to respond, instructing Dragonite to perform a passionate battle dance.

"You give it your all, old buddy, use Butterfly Dance!" "We can't lose either! Blazing Roar Tiger, Bodybuilding!"

Alder and Kukui also chose to strengthen, and the three Pokémon simultaneously increased their power on the spot.

"Attack! Use Rock Slide!" Ash decisively gave the attack command. The mother and daughter, Pocket and Volcarona, understood at the same time and grabbed huge rocks one after the other, smashing them down on Volcarona.

In battles where the odds are against the odds, breaking the deadlock is crucial, and the Volcano, with its four times greater weaknesses, is naturally the first target.

"Let me handle this! Dragonite, use Extreme Speed!" "Whoosh!"

Lance reacted immediately, and Dragonite quickly flashed in front of Volcarona, smashing the rock into pieces with two consecutive punches.

"Interesting..." Ash nodded with interest as he saw the luster on Dragonite's scales.

Dragonite should be carrying the Dragon Stone, and combined with Lance's awakened Dragon Power, it has obviously brought some new changes to Dragonite.

Without altering its mental energy characteristics, its scales seemed to have acquired a multi-scale effect, and the rockfall earlier did not cause much damage.

"But what about this? Enhanced Fist!"

"What?!" Yu Longdu had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was suddenly surprised to see Xiao Dai throw the child over!

The little bag clenched its fist in mid-air and smashed it down on the Dragonite's body!

Meanwhile, Xiao Dai had already found the Blazing Roaring Tiger and unleashed a powerful punch as well!

Bang! *2

The two, unable to dodge in time, were hit simultaneously, and the mother and daughter gained another +2 attack.

"Counterattack! Dragonite, use Extreme Speed!" "Incineroar, use Golden Hook Arm!"

Lance and Kukui immediately retaliated. Dragonite slammed Little Bag back into the air, while Space Tiger swung its arm and barely managed to push Little Bag away from its side.

"Vulcanmoth, unleash Bug Buzz at full power!" Alder also had his partner unleash their full power, and as the Kangaskhan mother and daughter reunited, a piercing buzz quickly swept through the area!

This attack was incredibly fluid, and the strength of the three—Yulongdu and his companions—was beyond question... yet they still couldn't defeat Xiaodai!

However, please don't forget that the most terrifying thing about the little bag is that if you can't completely defeat it, it will quickly revive with full health.

"Little bag, sleep with the child." "Click~"

In the instant her insect chirping skills kicked in, Xiao Dai casually hoisted the child onto her back, then coaxed her daughter to close her eyes at the same time.

"Oh no!" "Attack now!"

Knowing this, Kukui and Lance were extremely anxious and immediately commanded their partner to rush forward and attack. However, as soon as the two Pokémon bumped into the little bag at the same time, the latter suddenly opened its eyes!

"Crack!" A powerful punch was suddenly thrown out. The Blazing Roaring Tiger, which had been hit earlier, dared not take the blow head-on and had to dodge.

But as soon as he dodged, Kodai's fist accelerated and slammed into Dragonite's face!

Attack increased by 4!

While these two were forced back, Xiaodai once again used the same trick, throwing the child in her arms directly at the fire moth behind her!

"Vulcan, use psychic interference immediately!" Aldak was taken aback for a moment, then immediately had Volcano unleash its superpowers, barely managing to keep the little bag's body still in mid-air.

At the same time, Dragonite and Incineroar immediately turned around and went back... but by then, their formation was completely in disarray!

"Use Rock Slide!" Ash immediately gave the command, and at that moment, Pocket opened its eyes and decisively created a rock out of thin air to crash into Volcarona.

Bang!

The rock hit its mark perfectly, and the accompanying flinch successfully interrupted the Volcano's movement.

Immediately afterwards, its body was also completely shrouded in shadow.

Volcano instinctively looked up, only to see a super-sized bag with bulging muscles all over its body, holding a huge rock aloft in both hands!

"Crunch!"

Boom!

The huge boulder crashed down, and Volcano went black and fainted on the spot!

"Terrible..." Adek could hardly believe his eyes.

My old buddy had been hovering at the back of the battle, and now, after taking only one full attack from the opposing mother and daughter, he was instantly killed?!

"It seems we have to go all out," Yu Longdu said in a deep voice.

“Yeah, we can’t lose too badly…” Kukui nodded in agreement, then ripped off his researcher’s lab coat, revealing his muscular physique, and put on his unique wrestler’s mask!

This move completely ignited the entire audience. He made the most astonishing self-disclosure, revealing his identity as a royal masked man!

"Dragonite, charge in and use Outrage!!" Lance launched his final attack, and Dragonite, its crimson eyes blazing, charged forward to engage in close combat with the mother and daughter, Koko!

"Use Return!" Ash immediately commanded the mother and daughter, Pocket, to counterattack, but no matter how powerful their punches were, Dragonite refused to back down.

At this moment, Kukui, who was lagging behind, had also started dancing with all his might!

"Burn, Fiery Roaring Tiger! Burn the arena to ashes with the flames of victory, Extreme Flying Smash!!"

"Roar!"

The Blazing Roaring Tiger leaped up using the pillars of the arena, transforming into a burning meteor and crashing down towards the mother and daughter!

"Dragonite, lock them down with all your might!!" Lance, in a desperate move, commanded Dragonite to step forward and hold onto the pouch tightly.

"Little Bag, use Power-Up Punch!" At the critical moment, Little Bag unleashed another powerful punch, then used the boosted power to grab Dragonite's arms and forcefully pull it away from its mother!

"Little bag, repay the kindness!" "Crunch!!"

Xiao Dai also concentrated all his strength into his arm and blasted it upwards without regard for anything else!

Boom! !

The earth let out a mournful cry, and the ground beneath the little bag's feet crumbled inch by inch. The enormous impact even caused its knees to bend involuntarily.

But it quickly used its tail to support its body, and then continued to unleash its power, punching the Blazing Roaring Tiger away!

As Incineroar crashed to the ground, Dragonite's face also showed endless exhaustion. It was no longer able to hold out against Pocket, and it weakly fell backward.

"Incineroar, Dragonite... are both unable to battle! Rejoice, the ultimate victor of the Royal Champion Battle is the strongest Champion, Ash!!"

"Ash!" "Ash!" "Ash!"...

In an instant, the cheers were deafening, with countless people in the audience standing up, and countless others around the world simultaneously chanting his name.

He turned a four-way battle into a one-against-three fight, single-handedly holding off two champions and a powerful opponent who could use his own Z-class, and ultimately emerged victorious!

Such a record makes him the undisputed strongest!

However, some people might not think that way…

Chapter 854 Press Conference, Troublemakers Arrive

By defeating three powerful opponents single-handedly, Ash has undoubtedly created another remarkable feat.

The cheers from the crowd lingered for a long time, and everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but want to express their enthusiasm.

The three Kukui were the same; they quickly overcame their disappointment and surrounded Ash with smiles on their faces.

Because of Ash's presence, they were able to appreciate the view from the top of the champion's field.

Being a champion is definitely not the end for a trainer!

"The path of a trainer is endless. For me, winning the championship is just the beginning," Ash said earnestly, without a hint of exaggeration. "All levels of strength that can be quantified by standards are heights that human beings can reach... Trainers like us should constantly push our limits and pursue new levels that are above the standard!"

These words naturally resonated with the three of them.

The champion class is indeed a quantifiable tier. Both Lance and Alder have heard that in the distant Padiya region, champions have been clearly categorized.

What can be defined by humans must be an achievable goal; the only difference is the process.

Once this goal is achieved, the next step is to keep pushing the limits, just as Ash said!

After hearing Ash's vision, all three were moved. Lance even immediately started planning in his mind how he could take it a step further... at least find a way to reach Ash's current level.

Kukui also decided to continue honing his skills, intending to first become a true champion.

Even Adek seemed to have a different kind of flame ignited in his heart.

He began to ask himself, even in his old age and burdened by the pain of losing his companions, was he truly willing to continue to let things slide...?

After letting the three leave the stage with their own thoughts, Ash faced the audience and didn't say anything grand or eloquent. He simply announced his first news as the champion.

"The Manalo Grand Assembly has now concluded. Thank you all for coming to witness this event." He gave a slight bow to the audience. "Starting tomorrow, I will preside over the once-in-twenty-one Manalo Festival as the champion. At that time, we will offer our sincere tribute to the Radiant God! The celebration on this land is far from over!!"

As Ash himself announced the closing of the tournament, the noisy venue gradually began to disperse, and the audience could now go home, or stay and continue to play if they wanted.

However, Ash and the Alola League leaders couldn't relax like that; they also had important things to do after dinner.

“We’ve located them; they’re indeed mixed in with the tourists.” Xiao Lan said with a sneer during the meal, “I hacked into their computer and took clear pictures of them.”

As she spoke, she turned her phone screen toward Ash: "Look, the two people who spread the rumors are mainly reporters from Hoenn."

"They're quite famous~" Xiao Zhi glanced at them casually and realized that he actually knew these two.

"These people didn't actively come forward when you were fighting the champions, but they might use this as an excuse at the press conference. You need to be careful then," Xiao Lan carefully advised.
