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

“Larus…” Ash deliberately changed his expression, pretending to be impatient, “Both I and Lance have stated many times that Larus’s accusations against me are completely unreasonable. If they are so sure, they should call Interpol to arrest me right now!”

This statement hits the nail on the head. All along, Larus has only been barking like a dog, without taking any real action.

Over time, people have come to accept that they are maliciously smearing Xiaozhi.

"However, since you dared to bring it up, I'll explain a few things." Surprisingly, Ash suddenly softened his tone...

This also gave many reporters a whiff of a big scandal.

"Let's look at some photos and videos first, and then I'll explain in detail."

Xiao Zhi gestured to Bi Ke, who quickly connected the USB drive she had prepared to the computer and opened a set of files under Xiao Zhi's guidance.

"That's..." Seeing the familiar hotel room in the video and her own clothes, Mary panicked...

'Those messages have been spread, haven't they? We need to let more people know.'

Don't worry, I've been refreshing the page online.

'We need to design specific questions regarding match-fixing and the Larus affair; we must thoroughly ruin his reputation!'

'I'll record his embarrassing behavior the whole time.'

...

A conversation was clearly heard by everyone, and as the video unfolded, Mary and Dai appeared on the big screen!

"Everyone, why am I able to call out their names so accurately?" Ash's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Because I already found out that it was those two who were spreading rumors all afternoon!!"

Chapter 856 KO! The Reporter and Larousse

Evidence is for launching a decisive attack, not for dragging things out.

Now it's much better. As soon as Xiaozhi posted the video and photos, these two guys became confirmed rumor-mongers.

Xiao Lan's hacking skills were absolutely superb. With the assistance of the Ether Foundation and the management elves, he managed to eavesdrop on almost all of their secret plots using the two reporters' own computers.

There are even some hilarious dialogues, such as "Why can't the Alola Ninetales see after Hailstorm is activated?" and "Is provocation just simple taunting?"

The fact that they would ask such a basic question shows that these two are complete novices when it comes to combat. How high can their level of understanding be?

They even suspect the champion of match-fixing... What the hell are they suspecting?

Now, almost all the reporters in the room are waiting to see a joke.

They secretly suppressed their laughter, waiting for Ash to deal with the two reporters. Some people who loved watching the drama were also secretly hoping that this fire would spread directly to Hoenn.

These people don't care about world peace or regional harmony. They'd better let Alola fight Hoenn, then they'll have headlines to write about every day.

The situation is quite unfavorable now, and Mary has no desire to stay any longer. However, her partner is like someone on steroids, still clamoring to fight to the death.

"Even if we spread the news, so what!" Little Dai shouted indignantly. "We're journalists, everything we do is to uncover the truth! No matter what, we must get an explanation for Larousse!!"

"Oh, so you're doing this for Larus."

Xiao Zhi's pointed remark caused the onlookers to chuckle.

This accusation is quite accurate; those two clueless reporters from Hoenn were hired by Larus to cause trouble.

Revealing the truth...that's pure nonsense.

They're all journalists, don't they know what kind of people their colleagues are?

"I need an explanation... That's what I should be saying!" Ash's gaze suddenly sharpened. "I'm the one who needs to demand an explanation from Ralts for those innocent Pokémon who have suffered! Look at these things for yourselves!!"

He's about to unleash his ultimate move.

At Ash's behest, Beeko began to release evidence continuously.

First, during the Kanto era, Larus secretly colluded with Team Rocket, negotiating a series of cooperation agreements in exchange for secretly bringing Team Rocket to Hoenn.

This evidence includes some files and photos, as well as testimonies from many captured Team Rocket members. Then there are files about the three birds attacking Vermilion Harbor and later about Gilluta piloting his Flying Palace to invade the Orange Islands, which also made everyone fully aware of the origin of Ash's feud with Larus.

Honestly, first you colluded with the local villains, and then the mayor's son brazenly came over to poach legendary Pokémon...

As a result, when someone punished your son according to the law, you started targeting him in various ways. That's really despicable.

Further down the line, the evidence leads to Larus's research on Deoxys, which also explains the feud between Rayquaza and Deoxys.

The origin of the Larus incident is now clear: it was clearly a setup by these people who wanted to use Deoxys to lure Rayquaza... and after the incident, they even had the nerve to complain that the Sky Dragon had attacked the city on its own initiative.

As for Ash, he certainly didn't cause any damage to the main city of Larus. He joined the battle to rescue Rayquaza, and the target of his battle was always Larus's city defense system.

"This is absolutely shameless!" someone in the crowd shouted angrily. "You guys once plotted to steal the legendary Pokémon of Kanto, but even so, Mr. Ash still traveled all the way to Hoenn just to rescue your Hoenn legend! But instead of being grateful, you Hoenn people are here smearing Mr. Ash!"

These words were spoken with righteous indignation... but more than anything, they were meant to kick someone when they're down.

"Please be quiet, reporter!" Beeko immediately interrupted. "Mr. Ash is proving his innocence. The only target of his counter-accusation is Larousse City, which has been maliciously slandering him!"

Controlling the situation is essential; Ash can't let Hoenn fall into a situation where everyone is kicking them while they're down... after all, he made a promise to Steven.

After a brief interlude, Ash immediately presented even more explosive evidence, which was also his final blow of the match!

"The Battle Tower in Larus actually hides a super weapon powered by life energy. They attacked my area in an attempt to capture Rayquaza alive!" Ash said coldly. "At that time... I was just retaliating against the energy they released!"

Bike released the complete video footage from that day. Compared to the blurry and maliciously edited footage released by Larus, Ash's version makes it easy for people to see the whole story.

He and his Pokémon had already brought the situation under control and quelled the conflict between Rayquaza and Deoxys, but Rarus still used a super weapon and even targeted Ash!

The video clip released by Larus is actually the process of Ash summoning the ring to return the attack of the super weapon to its original path!

"You...you're talking nonsense!" Xiao Dai shouted, sounding somewhat intimidated. "What super weapon is there that's powered by life energy...you're just spouting nonsense!"

Is this guy an idiot?

At this moment, many people are having doubts.

With this guy's IQ, how did he manage to make a name for himself in the journalism world?

Mary is also exhausted. She has no idea what's wrong with her partner. This outburst of rant and self-destruction is unstoppable.

Of course she couldn't stop it...

Because at this moment, Xiao Dai had completely fallen for someone's charms... uh, I should say, for his pheromones.

No one noticed that in a corner of the venue, there was a mature woman dressed in a black business suit, but wearing sunglasses and a small hat.

That was a perverted woman in disguise, subtly releasing her power and enticing Xiao Dai to gradually accept her mental suggestions.

It can be said that at this moment, Xiao Zhi in Xiao Dai's eyes is an enemy who has a grudge against him for stealing his wife, and he will fight to the death no matter what!

"Alright... I wasn't planning to reveal this final piece of evidence now, but I didn't expect you to still be unrepentant." Ash shook his head with a heavy expression and had Bee play the final video.

It was a shocking warehouse, filled with Pokémon wearing rage devices, constantly charging their absorption discs…

The moment their energy is drained, everyone can see the pain they are in.

Fortunately, they were eventually rescued by Ash's Pokémon...

“Those Pokémon have all been taken care of now… Most of the evidence I just submitted came from Larus’s own surveillance system, and some were testimonies from high-ranking municipal officials,” Ash said with a somber tone.

This series of evidence is highly credible, especially since it includes information from Shun's father—a captured Larus chieftain with real power.

"I did destroy the Battle Tower, and I won't defend my actions here... but I just want to ask one question." Ash looked around, a hint of grief and indignation in his voice.

"Should places like this, which harbor filth and corruption, be destroyed?!"

"Serves you right!" *N

A large group of people echoed this sentiment, and the scene quickly became bustling with noise.

Even before Xiao Zhi could give any instructions, the security personnel in the venue immediately subdued Mary and Xiao Dai and handed them over to the equally eager police officers.

Hired by Larus to cause trouble and spread rumors and slander against the champion... this may not be a serious crime, but jail time is inevitable!

Ash was absolutely victorious in this battle.

Not only did this get rid of a pair of journalists, but Larousse will also never recover from this setback!

After the incident, in order to distance themselves from the situation, the Hoenn Alliance will definitely conduct a thorough investigation of them first... or rather, confiscate their property and divide the spoils.

Otherwise, once Interpol enters Larousse to investigate, they won't get a single thing.

That's a high-level strategy! Let them fight amongst themselves, while Ash watches the drama unfold with amusement.

...

"Roar!!"

The farce finally came to an end, but just as everyone was preparing to leave, a golden lion suddenly blocked the entrance to the venue!

Solgaleo has come to warn us that something terrible has happened outside the arena!

Meanwhile, somewhere in the athletes' village, Dia, who was leisurely strolling, was now trembling as the enormous creature in front of her was constantly approaching and devouring everything in its path!

"Eat!" *N

The most ferocious roar in my memory instantly resounded through the night sky!

The Gluttonous King has invaded... and there's more than one!!
