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

"Milanos, use Mirror Reflection!"

"Riding the dragon, keep the blizzard going!"

What's going on... Mikoli feels like something's wrong the more he fights.

Ash seems to have a grudge against Blizzard. No matter how Milotic retaliates, it always responds with Blizzard.

Even with four times the resistance, you can't keep taking damage reflection forever...

"Riding the dragon, blizzard!"

"Use a mirror to reflect... no!" After instinctively giving the order to retaliate, Mikoli finally realized the problem.

Ash kept fighting like this because he was using Milotic's pressure to help Lapras break through!

"Use Blizzard at full power!" "Whoosh!!"

Faced with the enhanced blizzard that was retaliating, Lapras stubbornly chose to fight back once again, squeezing out all its power, and even the armor on its back gradually began to crystallize with ice!

"Woo..." It sensed it!

The power obtained from the Ice God of Asia Island, along with all the trials it has undergone until now, has finally been integrated at this moment!

boom! !

As endless wind and snow raged, Lapras launched a stunning counterattack, sealing Milotic within ice crystals with a single blow!

"Milotic..."

"Mental interference!"

Oh no… Mikoli was immediately alarmed!

At this moment, Lapras, under the influence of its psychic powers, floated up and pressed its entire body down on Milotic, who was unable to move!

"Absolute zero!" "Whoosh!"

click!

The ice crystals instantly transformed into a massive iceberg, which then shattered with a deafening roar as the dragon roared.

Milotic's frozen body collapsed limply to the ground, completely losing its ability to fight.

The scattered ice mist, however, seemed to be drawn in, swirling around the dragon.

Bathed in sunlight, it was absolutely breathtaking, like the aurora borealis...

Champion-level dragon!

Chapter 894 The Survival Rules of the Nobles

That kid's Dragon Knight has really broken through to the Champion level?!

Mikkuri stared intently at the dragon enveloped in aurora before him, utterly astonished.

The way the dragon broke through was extremely unusual. Unlike the usual situation, it did not elevate its overall strength to the level of a champion after a long period of training and battles.

Instead, he simply honed his energy to raise his ice-attribute power to the champion level!

A champion with pure ice attributes... All Mikuri can say about this performance is that it's terrifying.

"Milotic, come back... Next up is Dewpriest." Mikuri completed the replacement with a stern face... Although he already had a guess, he still couldn't help but want to confirm it.

"Blizzard." Ash gave the command softly, and Lapras spewed out a seemingly ordinary blizzard.

However, after the cold wind passes, large patches of jagged icicles grow around the Dianthus sea lion, not only blocking its movement but also freezing its limbs and tail!

With just a casual attack, it can freely manipulate the shape of ice crystals; even with eight times the resistance to ice, it still cannot escape being frozen!

All of these are manifestations of the powerful attribute energy of the dragon!

Just as the Diantar Seal was struggling in vain, Lapras once again used mental interference to take off and press down on the seal below with all its might!

"Absolute zero!"

Click! !

A massive iceberg reappeared, and Deino followed in Milotic's footsteps, losing consciousness completely as the ice crystals shattered.

"This is impossible!" Rukia jumped up in shock. "Sea Lion is clearly an Ice-type, how could it be instantly killed by Absolute Zero?!"

“This is an absolute difference in type power,” Serena explained softly. “Once a Pokémon develops its type power to the level of Champion or above, it can ignore many type and move rules when fighting opponents of a lower level.”

“How could this be…” Ryukia was shocked and slumped back into her chair.

She was not only amazed by the theory Serena mentioned, but also by the comparison of levels that the other party spoke of!

My uncle's Deino is certainly not as good as Milotic, but it should at least be at the Champion level... To be able to ignore the rules of absolute zero and instantly kill it, could that Lapras already be...?

"As expected, he's a genuine Ice-type champion..." At this moment, Mikuri's voice trembled along with his heart.

He is now truly feeling fear. Ash paired with Lapras is, in a sense, invincible!

There is currently no other Ice-type Champion in the world... This may mean that Lapras has an absolute one-hit kill capability against any trainer's weapon!

Neither his own Milotic nor Steven's Metagross could withstand Absolute Zero!

To be exempt from this, one would need to be an Ice-type Pokémon of Champion caliber, or even a higher level than Lapras!

Lapras is already a Champion-level Pokémon. Is it really possible that someone other than this kid could possess a Pokémon that's even stronger than it...?

"McClub, do you want to fight again?" Ash asked calmly.

Mikoli angrily started the battle. The exact number of players to be defeated had not been decided beforehand, but such a match is usually three against three unless it is explicitly stated that all players will be fighting.

Mikkuri actually tacitly acknowledged this, which is why he sent out his ace in the second round.

“I lost…” Mikoli admitted defeat dejectedly.

The outcome was already decided: Ash, fighting two against three, handed him a crushing defeat.

If they keep fighting, all they'll get are a few more ice sculptures.

"Then can I have what we agreed on?" Ash asked, reaching out his hand without any hesitation.

"Take it!" Mikuri said coldly, handing the Raindrop Badge to Ash.

He doesn't dare to renege on his promise now. Since Ash dared to propose the challenge, he must have a backup plan... If he really tries to back out and refuses to give the badge, he might be wiped out by the entire global community the next day.

Of course, it needs to be clarified here that Mikkelsen was simply overthinking things.

Even if he really wanted to renege on his debt, Ash wouldn't do anything to him, much less destroy his reputation in Hoenn.

"Thank you~" Ash put away the badge with satisfaction. "I've really had a great haul here in Lilycove City. I got half the number of badges in one go."

"Is that all you got?" Aysa teased with a laugh. "There's also a hot, beautiful older sister here who's completely devoted to you!"

Naki's cheeks flushed again from the teasing, but she didn't refute it in front of Mikoli, giving the impression that she acquiesced.

"I'll just take it as Miss Aya joking." Ash waved his hand casually, decisively avoiding the topic.

He wouldn't have any other thoughts about Naki, nor did he want to comment on her relationship with Mikoli.

"Miss Naki, Serena and I are about to take our leave... Can you handle what happens next?" Ash asked with concern before leaving, glancing in the direction of Wallace.

If Naki can't handle this uninvited, flamboyant master, Ash can step in and drive him away.

"I can do it, Mr. Ash, don't worry," Nagi quickly assured him. "Also, regarding the Vine Tree, I won't let those council members distort the truth. I will definitely restore the Martial Arts Gym to operation as quickly as possible!"

“You don’t need to trouble yourself with that,” Ash said, waving his hand. “I’ve already instructed Vine Tree to prepare for the Elite Four challenge… He’ll definitely be among the Hoenn Elite Four within a week at the latest.”

"Wow... Mr. Ash is really amazing." Nagi was genuinely impressed; she hadn't expected Ash to be so quick.

While the Hoenn leadership was still plotting underhanded tactics to prevent him from attending the conference, he was already on the verge of infiltrating their ranks!

"Because I realized that I'm not all alone in Hoenn," Ash said with a smile. "It's rare to have so many people willing to support me, so of course I have to do something to make everyone feel more at ease."

After giving Naki a brief explanation, Ash took Serena and prepared to leave... During this time, he could clearly sense a certain girl's furtive glances.

"Miss Lucia, you seem to have something to say?" Ash asked casually as they passed each other.

"Why…"

“I refuse to answer questions that start with this format.” Ash shook his head slightly in disappointment. “All the ‘whys’ you should ask are to your uncle, not me… The only thing I can tell you right now is that no matter how Hoenn changes, you can continue to be your magnificent idol without worry.”

Ash didn't want to explain too much to Rukia, so after leaving those words, he left with Serena.

Rukia stood there in a daze until Michael left in shame and indignation, at which point she looked up again in confusion.

"Miss Nakia, how did things turn out like this..." Although Ash told her not to ask, Rukia still wanted to know why.

How did Hoenn, which was doing so well, come to this?

How did lovers who were supposed to be together end up going their separate ways?!

“Ash just said that you can always be a glamorous idol…” Nagi sighed softly, “But have you thought about what would happen to Ash if he lost this battle?”

"This..." Ryukia was speechless for a moment.

"You should know someone named Shun... a Coordinator from Larus?"

"Hmm." After all, he was a somewhat well-known player; Ryukia had heard of the green-haired guy and knew he was working hard to get the last ribbon…

"He won't be able to participate in this year's major festival... and he might never be able to be a trainer again!"

"What?!" Rukia swayed slightly, as if she couldn't believe what she had heard.
