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

"How...how terrifying! Dad can actually fight someone like that..."

At this moment, Zhengtai's thoughts changed. His father was still that great and powerful figure, but his opponent was even more superior!

However, daring to throw a punch at such an opponent, Dad and the Slave King are undoubtedly strong...

"This is the final showdown! Tyranitar, earthquake!"

"It's time to put an end to this! Tanabata Bluebird, you've crossed the line!"

Ash and Cynthia launched a simultaneous all-out attack. Tyranitar unleashed a massive shockwave, causing the entire ground to surge forward like ocean waves.

The Altaria's eyes were now bloodshot, and it launched its fiercest attack on the Shaking Spot!

"Slacker, Earthquake! Shakespeare, try one more time and use your ability swap!"

Senri immediately responded, with Slaking shaking the ground with both feet in an attempt to block Tyranitar's attack as much as possible.

However, Spinda's efforts were in vain. Even though it managed to use its ultimate move and switch abilities, it still failed to affect Tyranitar!

Just like with Altaria before, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and Madara had no way to limit Tyranitar.

The attack of the Altaria finally erupted. It seemed that all of Higanbana's resentment was poured into this attack, turning into a series of berserk battles!

"Tyranitar, Stone Edge!" At the same time on the main battlefield, Tyranitar suddenly waved its hand, summoning countless sandstorms and pebbles that swept towards Slaking!

"Slave King, use Repayment!" Slave King frantically clenched its fists in a final act of resistance, but after the sandstorm, it was already trapped by countless thick stone pillars, and it was panting heavily.

"Have I reached my limit...? Then let's unleash our last bit of power and shatter the stone pillar... Use the Ki Gathering Fist with all our might!"

"King!!"

bang

With a terrifying roar from King Sussex, all the stone pillars shattered, and the exploding Vajra launched another attack—its final swan song!

"Giving it your all is a sign of respect for your opponent... Use brute force!" "Roar!!"

Tyranitar also charged forward with all its might, colliding fiercely with Slaking!

Boom! !

The violent collision tore the earth apart, and Slaking's massive body flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Tyranitar, amidst the swirling sandstorm, roared to the sky!

"Phew...good job." Ash nodded in satisfaction, but then suddenly grabbed Higanbana's wrist. "That's enough."

With the infusion of a wisp of dragon-controlling power, Higana's emotions gradually calmed down, and the berserk Altaria in the arena also stopped its actions.

“It’s over…” Higana came back to her senses, seemingly feeling somewhat lost.

"Yes, it's over." Ash sighed. "Sydana, can you accept this way of handling things?"

"That's fine, I can't think of a better way." Higana nodded silently.

"Alright, let bygones be bygones of your past with the Senri family... I don't want to control your thoughts, I just hope that we can put aside our grudges openly, and I also hope that you will continue to treat Haruka as a partner."

“I will.” A smile finally appeared on Higana’s face. “Actually, you don’t need to make things so complicated… You are the inheritor of the Meteor People, and I will obey your decisions unconditionally.”

"Then I can't let you down even more." Ash's expression was unusually serious, which made Higanbana blush.

It was only then that she realized that their hands were still clasped together.

"Hey, are you guys done?" Serena suddenly spoke up, reminding him, "Mr. Qianli has been standing here for ages, can't you give him some attention?"

"Uh..." "Sorry~"

The two of them then seemed to wake up from a dream, and their expressions were inevitably a little awkward.

Fortunately, Qianli didn't care about these things. He stepped forward and solemnly apologized for what happened back then, thus putting a complete end to the matter.

"Ash, I hope you have a smooth journey ahead... Also, I'm entrusting May to you!" Knowing that Ash's next stop was Rustboro City, this was all the words of advice that Chiri could give.

Rustboro City is Devon's headquarters and the stronghold of the Sven family... Ash's next journey will determine the fate of the entire Hoenn!

However, Chisato will not stop his daughter, because Haruka has already made her choice and will stay with Satoshi until the very end!

The grudges of their generation were finally resolved with great difficulty.

From now on, new bonds will begin to sprout.

Chapter 906 The Great Upheaval of Hoenn, Ongoing…

Ash and his friends traveled from Petalburg City to Rustboro City with ease and arrived at their destination in no time.

They will be staying in the city for three days to attend the next grand competition at the Kanaz Center.

That's how travel is these days; sometimes the time they spend waiting for a competition in town is even longer than the time they spend traveling.

A month and a half has passed since Ash boasted that he would sweep through Hoenn in eighty days. Ash is still missing the last two badges, and Serena is also missing the last two ribbons.

They kept pace with each other and were unstoppable!

During this period, many major events also occurred in the Hoenn region.

The most important news is that Fujiki, the martial arts gym leader who is currently suspended, publicly challenged Ice Queen Bonnie and ultimately won!

According to the rules, Fujiki is already considered a newly crowned fighting game king, but the Hoenn official has not yet made an announcement.

Faced with online criticism and the outcry from Fujiki's staunch supporters—who are actually the group of swimsuit surfing girls—the official explanation from Hoenn was that the league is currently in the midst of intense post-disaster reconstruction work, and there is no time to announce any high-level changes to the public.

This kind of excuse, which is clearly just a way of making excuses, obviously cannot satisfy the public.

Hoenn did suffer a disaster before, but the disaster came and went quickly, and the various places were not severely damaged.

Furthermore, Ogaku and Alola provided assistance immediately, with various supplies and construction teams arriving in Hoenn in batches. They were the ones who did most of the post-disaster reconstruction work.

Therefore, many people are confused as to what the Hoenn authorities have been busy with during this period, since they have neither made overall plans nor provided manpower and resources.

The bombshell that followed answered their questions.

The gym leader of Orange Blossom has been exposed; a video of him being defeated by Ash in a 1v3 battle is going viral online, sparking widespread discussion.

Many people questioned this, believing that the renowned Chiri should not be so disgraceful. A group of brainless fans in North Petalburg City made all sorts of absurd remarks and hurled insults at Ash.

But no matter how much nonsense they spout, it's useless. There are videos and the truth. No matter how much they talk, Ash only used one baby starter Pokémon to sweep through the entire region.

Moreover, Qianli himself has confirmed that he was utterly defeated by Xiaozhi, and stated that his previous reputation was all fabricated by the Hoenn authorities to control public opinion, and that he was actually not that strong.

Once these remarks were made public, many people immediately turned their criticism on him and the Hoenn official team.

In short, Hoenn's official website has been dragged down by Senri, further damaging its already limited credibility.

Meanwhile, the Larousse affair was finally settled. With complete evidence, Interpol conducted a legitimate raid on the entire city, and no one involved, including the mayor, escaped.

After discussion, these people will eventually be taken to Guandu for trial... Interpol's reason is that Guandu currently has the most comprehensive legal system.

In other words, we can kill them~

This turn of events was sudden, and the Hoenn authorities had not yet completed their looting of Larus... but they are currently preoccupied with their own problems.

Of all the news reports, the most shocking was the revelation of the battle that took place in the waters near Liuli City on the day of the disaster!

Although the details of the images are not clear, the entire process, from the battle between the two gods of land and sea to the three sacred pillars' all-out defense of Sootopolis City, and Rayquaza's arrival and mediation of the conflict, has not been missed!

Even more incredibly, there's a short video clip that shows Rayquaza flying at high speed in the sky... and Ash himself on the dragon's back with incredible clarity!

In addition, there are some videos and audio files from Sootopolis City, including how the Hoenn leaders deserted their posts, how Elite Four member Kawaki and Gym Leader Adam failed to act, and clips of Wallace shamelessly questioning Ash, etc. It is definitely a super rich gossip gift package.

The release of this video evidence immediately caused a huge uproar throughout Hoenn.

Previously, there were sporadic reports from people in various towns that Ash had saved the city in its time of crisis and that he was the one who ultimately protected Sootopolis.

However, the Hoenn authorities have been suppressing this information, and mainstream opinion has been trying to gain sympathy and smear Ash... But faced with irrefutable evidence, all their previous actions have become a laughing stock.

In the Hoenn region today, calls for Ash to join the League are growing louder.

The upper echelons of Hoenn are completely corrupt, and the common people, especially those who were rescued by Ash, are clearly more willing to follow this savior who fought against natural disasters.

The situation was quite favorable for Ash, but he found it a bit strange because he wasn't the one who caused all of this.

Since the matter involves legends, Ash has not provided any concrete video evidence of the incident off the coast of Sootopolis City. When he was riding on Rayquaza, he was even less inclined to take a selfie.

There's also the incident with Wallace. Ash originally wanted to protect the Cinque Terre a little longer and didn't intend to put him in such a dangerous situation right now.

Fortunately, after receiving a phone call, Xiao Zhi finally understood the reason for the situation.

The other party also wanted to prove their loyalty to him, but they didn't discuss it with him beforehand.

I knew it! Such clear video footage must have been taken with a satellite.

With this, everything in Hoenn is truly about to be settled.

The only thing Ash still needs to deal with is the Zuvuch family!

Oh, I almost forgot, there's another little thing that's not very important...

"Was he in a car accident? He's so unlucky~" While waiting, Serena was looking up news related to the Grand Contest, but she came across a message with the headline 'Great Tragedy'.

A promising Coordinator who had already earned four Ribbon Medals was recently involved in a car accident and his fate is currently unknown.

The scene was reportedly chaotic; the person's cell phone, tournament registration card, and other personal belongings were all damaged, and Poké Balls were scattered everywhere and have not been recovered to this day.

"Is it him..." Xiaoyao leaned over and glanced at the magazine, her expression somewhat heavy. "It's a bit of a pity. I thought I could see him again at a big celebration."

“There’s nothing to regret, he’s no match for you.” Serena smiled and closed the magazine. “If I remember correctly, Haruka’s first Grand Contest was the one where she stepped over him to advance and get the ribbon?”
