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

"The match is over! Swellow is unable to battle, and the final winner is Mr. Ash!"

The referee's hesitant announcement of the result finally brought everyone in the audience back to their senses.

“Mr. Ash, we lost.” Nagi stepped forward with admiration and offered the badge. “This is the White Feather Badge from the Lilycove Gym. Please accept it.”

"Here, the Flame Badge is yours." Aysa seemingly handed over the badge casually, but she couldn't help but worry, "Hey... what will my grandpa do if you become the Hoenn Champion?"

“Things will be done the way they should be. If you do something wrong, you should be punished accordingly, but the law also has sentencing... His outcome is determined by his own choices,” Xiao Zhi said earnestly.

The fate of these key members of the Hoenn clan is not something Ash can decide on a whim. It will depend on what they have done and what they have been doing during this period.

Ash's high-profile announcement of taking over Hoenn may seem aggressive, but from an investigator's perspective, it's actually a move to alert the suspects.

If you really want to destroy them, Xiao Zhi should contact Interpol, secretly gather evidence, and then deliver the final blow, leaving these people no chance to argue or change their ways!

But they now have a chance. In the few dozen days that Ash has been sweeping through Hoenn, if they repent, they can at least get a lenient treatment.

"Anyway, thank you both for the badges." Ash said his final thanks, put away the badges, and prepared to leave...

But just then, the roar of the propellers came rapidly from afar.

A helicopter suddenly flew over the group's heads, and before it could even come to a complete stop, the effeminate man with an anxious expression jumped down using Milotic's water rings.

"Naqi, wait a minute!"

"Why are you here?" Naki frowned upon seeing this. She immediately looked at Ryukia, whose expression was complicated, but she didn't notice her best friend's mischievous grin, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.

"I heard from Rukia... and he really is here!" Upon seeing Ash beside him, Wallace's expression immediately changed. "Naki, what's he doing here?!"

"he…"

"Is that even a question?" Before Naki could speak, Aysa interjected teasingly, "Mr. Michael, you're too late... On our side, everything's already settled~"

"Has the dust settled?" Mikoli's expression froze.

Thinking back to what Ryukia had said on the phone, he suddenly felt as if a heavy hammer had struck his chest, and his mind was buzzing.

pain!It hurts so much!

"Nagi, why..." Mikoli clutched her chest, her face filled with sorrow as she questioned, "I thought we were just having a short tiff and would make up soon... But why did you fall for him?!"

"I...I what?!" Naki was about to explain, but upon hearing Mikoli's last sentence, her face immediately turned icy.

She assumed Michael was there to discuss serious matters, and that he wouldn't have any doubts about certain things or feelings...

Looking at it now, haha~

“Yes…you’re right!” Naki took a deep breath and suddenly grabbed Ash’s arm. “I’ve taken a liking to Mr. Ash, do you have a problem with that?!”

"What?!" Upon hearing this, not only Michael, but also Ash, Rukia, and even Aysa, who spread the rumor, were all stunned.

As for Serena, she was laughing so hard she was doubled over on the sidelines.

"Wow, that's so exciting!"

Chapter 892 VS Mikoli, So what if I bully you?

I was just enjoying myself on the sidelines when suddenly an older woman said she liked Ash Ketchum…

Serena is not jealous at all these days.

Not to mention that Serena is already used to the many women around Ash, she also knows Ash well enough to know that he can be quite stubborn at times.

He has no problem pursuing girls, but if a girl is offered to him, he basically won't accept her.

For Xiaozhi, every girl is wonderful, and it is absolutely unacceptable to chase after someone who is overly eager to please them... especially if there are ulterior motives involved.

For example, Naki is just using Ash as an excuse to annoy Miketsu.

As a result, some people actually believed it, which is probably what is meant by "the onlooker sees more of the game than the player."

"Why?" Before the person in question could speak, Rukia couldn't take it anymore. "Miss Naki, this shouldn't be happening! You and my uncle, you two should be..."

"We broke up a long time ago!" Naki interrupted Rukia forcefully, while pressing even closer to Ash. "Ash is better than Wallace in every way. I just like him, that's why I'm helping him!"

“Miss Naki, you helped me to save Hoenn from their predicament, not because of personal feelings,” Ash suddenly spoke up to correct her, while breaking free from Naki’s embrace. “You’ve worked so hard, please don’t deny your efforts just to spite someone.”

“Mr. Ash…” Nagi was taken aback; she could really hear Ash’s approval of her.

This is something that none of the previous high-ranking members of Hoenn had ever given...

No matter how hard I try, they will only think that I climbed the ladder by taking advantage of others, and they will always add the prefix 'Michael' whenever they mention me.

But today, she has been recognized again!

"Is...that so?" Ash's clarification surprised Wallace, but he was also a little confused.

He instinctively turned to look at Ryukia, who had called him, but the girl's gaze also shifted guiltily to Aya...

"No... why are you looking at me like that?" Asha said indifferently. "How was I supposed to know her reasons were so noble? I thought she was just paving the way for her little lover... I even gave away the Flame Badge for that."

"He even handed in the Flame Badge?" Mikoli exclaimed in surprise. "You mean, he really has two badges already?!"

“Mr. Mikkuri, I received three badges.” Ash suddenly interjected, “Although the board members behind you suspended Fujiki and shut down the Martial Arts Gym… you don’t know that I obtained the Boxing Badge through proper channels a few months ago.”

"What did you say…"

"Wait a minute! What happened to Teng Shu's suspension?" Naki suddenly asked in shock. "How could the head of the First Army Gym be suddenly suspended? As the leader of the Gym, why didn't I know about this?!"

"This was a decision made jointly by the board members. The vines were not doing well in fighting the natural disasters on Martial Arts Island..." Mikoli explained in a muffled voice.

"That's utter nonsense!" Naki was so angry that her face turned frosty.

"Yeah, Tengshu is exhausted, and the Fighting Island didn't suffer any major losses. These people are really good at talking nonsense." Ash smiled disdainfully. "In the end, it's because Tengshu and I are close that they're targeting the Fighting Gym to try and stop me from collecting all eight badges."

"And it's funny how we were too late in planning this!" Serena chimed in, adding insult to injury.

"Mikoli, do you really have to side with them?!" Naki's chest heaved violently, clearly she was furious to the extreme.

Michael just kept his head down; he didn't know what he could say in his defense.

He also wanted to escape from here, and it was clearly a mistake for Rukia to call him over...

However, Xiaozhi noticed all of his emotional changes.

Having finally gotten this chance, Ash wasn't about to let it slip by easily.

"Mikoli, I've collected three badges. Are you panicking?"

"Hmph!" Mikoli was unwilling to express his opinion and could only snort coldly.

"How about this, I'll give you a chance to take all three badges," Ash continued teasingly.

"What... exactly do you mean?" Mikoli actually wanted to refuse, but in front of Naki, he didn't want to back down immediately.

"Let's have a battle, you can set the rules." Ash casually issued the challenge. "If I lose, I'll give you all three badges; but if you lose, you'll give me the Rainbow Badge... I know you're also the Gym Leader of the Sooty City Gym, and you have the authority to issue badges!"

"you…"

"You're not scared, are you?" Ash didn't give Michael a chance to hesitate. "How about this, I won't use any legendary units, not any main units, not even the seven from Kanto. Is that okay?"

"Damn it..." Mikuri cursed under his breath, gritting his teeth. Ash's actions were blatant contempt.

There are rumors circulating in the world that Ash's six main fighters can stand up to the legends, and the top seven in Kanto are all champions... If none of these are up to par, it means that in Ash's mind, Wallace can't even beat his third-tier team.

If you include legendary Pokémon like Mewtwo, then it's definitely a fourth-tier Pokémon.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

"Is that not going to work either?" Seeing that Mikey didn't answer, Ash continued to mock, "Then I'll take a loss and use the Gym Leader's rule: go first, then attack, and don't switch in the middle. That should work, right?"

"You bastard! Don't push your luck!" After being repeatedly mocked by Ash, Wallace was on the verge of losing control of his emotions.

"So what if I bully you?" Ash glared at him coldly. "You guys can bully Vinewood, even Rayquaza, and caused Shiona's innocent death... Why can't I bully you?!"

"Mikeli, if you're a man, just accept the challenge! Otherwise, back down and get out of here, don't get in my way!!"

"Alright!!" Mikuri finally couldn't suppress his anger and almost screamed as he accepted Ash's challenge.

"Okay, then let me ask one more question... can we fight right here, or do we need to prepare a special water arena for you?"

"Right here!!"

Mikuri didn't want to delay for even a second longer. He walked straight to Naki's battle position and stood down, his face as black as if it had been stained with ink from an octopus bucket.

"Alright, let's begin." Seeing that his opponent and the referee were in position, Ash casually tossed a Great Ball. "Metamorphose, you're the first to go."

“This one…” Mikuri was taken aback. He didn’t expect that Ash would also have a Shiny Cross!

A crunching sound came from the side, the sound of Naki's silver teeth grinding together, and the chill emanating from her body was almost visible to the naked eye.

"Oh dear, what a wicked thought!" Asha couldn't help but laugh.

Naki's biggest rival is Steven... Ash obviously knows how to use this information.

However, Aysa was also a bit speechless. It was one thing for Wallace to be inseparable from Steven, but to make such a connection just because they encountered a Pokémon of the same kind was a bit too much.

"Hey, come on over here!" Ash beckoned to Wallace. "Didn't I say I'd use the Gym Leader rules?"

"You'll regret this! Go, Delicious, use a yawn!" Wallace angrily sent out his first Pokémon, and the fat Delicious immediately yawned a bubble as soon as it appeared.

"Control it with mental interference."

The yawn that was supposed to hit the mark failed to work this time, as Metagross's superpowers formed a giant net that trapped it firmly.

"One more yawn!"
