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

Togekiss, in mid-air, also crashed into the hastily launched Shadow Ball, almost coming face-to-face with Butterfree.

"Primal power!"

hum!

A dazzling beam of light suddenly erupted, and the Rock-type attack hit Beautifly's body perfectly, blasting it directly next to Blaziken.

"You two... don't give up! Blaziken, Flame Whirlpool! Butterfree, Silver Whirlwind!"

"Whoa!" "Ooh!"

Encouraged by their trainer, the two battered and bruised creatures managed to get up again, and even unleashed their Blaze and Bug Alert abilities simultaneously!

The final gust of wind fueled the fire, creating a massive firestorm that swept across the entire area, representing Haruka's unwavering will to never give up!

"Let's go all out too! Fiery Fox, use Psychic, then Fire Blast! Togekiss, use Extreme Speed!"

"Fox!" "That's it!"

Xiaoyao's fighting spirit also inspired Serena. The Red Fox activated its superpowers and rose into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Its wand swung rapidly, and the blazing flames gradually spread until they covered the entire sky.

As the fiery red fox swung its wand downwards, all the flames crashed down.

At this moment, Tokiss also launched an attack, plunging headlong into the flames and diving through the air amidst the raging fire!

Boo!

To everyone's astonishment, the flames surrounding Togekiss gradually transformed into a phoenix spreading its wings. It let out a clear cry and tore through the firestorm in front of it, rapidly flying past Blaziken and Butterfree!

boom!

A massive pillar of fire shot into the sky. Togekiss, having shed its phoenix coat, circled around the area and returned to Serena's side at the same time as the descending Fiery Fox, tacitly bowing to the audience together.

Across from them, May's Blaziken and Beautifly were already unconscious...

"The competition is over! Rejoice! The ultimate winner of the grand celebration is Miss Serena!!"

The whole place was excited!

Chapter 925 After Lifting the Cup, a Demonic Declaration

The applause in the venue was thunderous and prolonged, with countless people cheering for the birth of the grand celebration champion.

The two women's family and friends applauded enthusiastically, offering their heartfelt congratulations to these two girls who fought to the very end.

Aside from the slight disappointment of winning by a small margin.

"My sister lost... she was so close."

"The difference in strength is obvious. It's already quite remarkable that Xiaoyao has come this far," Qianli advised in a deep voice.

Serena's strength is undeniable, and for Haruka to be able to fight her to this extent is truly remarkable.

“Yes, it’s great that you can keep trying until the end.” Mitsuko said with a smile, “Haruka wasn’t very discouraged either, she kept smiling.”

“Sister…” Following his mother’s direction, Xiao Sheng looked down and sure enough, he saw that his sister’s face was beaming with a smile.

She comforted her comrades who had fought hard, and then skipped over to grab Serena's hand.

"Salina, congratulations on winning the championship! Let's face off again next time. I'll definitely be stronger than I am now!"

“We can have a match anytime, we’re travel buddies after all,” Serena said with a smile.

“That’s right! And she’s my best friend!” Xiaoyao happily hugged Serena.

Sisters...

Serena couldn't help but chuckle; she wasn't really able to take that word seriously right now.

...

"Sigh, I really want to play a decisive match with Serena too... and those two outfits are so pretty~" At this moment, Rukia's expression in the audience was sour.

"Is she that concerned...? Those two outfits are indeed quite nice though." Adam's eyes darted around as he sought the opinion of his disciple beside him. "Michael, why don't you ask him to make a few outfits too? Many people have commented that your previous fashion sense was..."

As a gentleman, Adam restrained himself from uttering the word "show-off".

"Teacher, I don't have time to worry about that right now!" Mikoli's voice was somewhat muffled. "That guy... I won't let this go so easily. I'm going to settle things with him again!"

"Sigh..." Adam shook his head helplessly, feeling that the other person had become a bit obsessed.

Ever since his relationship with Naki ended, Wallace has considered Ash his rival... or rather, a real enemy, in every sense of the word.

Ash is an intruder who trampled his former allies underfoot and a rival who sowed discord between him and Nakia. Yet, at this grand festival, Rukia has also started to gravitate towards that guy's woman!

Please, how dangerous is that guy?

If Rukia dares to treat Serena as a formidable rival today, who knows, she might end up being deceived by that guy's charm and affections tomorrow!

What Mikuri found most intolerable was the argument between Haruka and Rukia during the semi-finals.

What a joke! The daughter of the Senri family actually thinks that her teaching of Ryukia is inferior to that guy's?!

Since it concerned his profession, Mikoli absolutely could not swallow this insult.

He's made up his mind that he absolutely has to have a showdown with Ash!

...

Of course, Xiao Zhi was unaware of what the other person was thinking; he kept his eyes fixed on the girl who had already stepped onto the podium.

Sharing the trophy with Fennekin and Togekiss, this was Serena's most shining moment, and Ash wouldn't miss a single detail.

As if by telepathy, Serena's gaze also met Ash's through the bustling crowd.

With a gentle smile, Serena handed the trophy to Fennekin for safekeeping, then nimbly leaped onto Togekiss and flew straight to Ash.

Seeing the girl's outstretched hand, Ash understood and grasped it, using the slight leverage to stand on Togekiss's back together.

The plane soared into the sky and, amidst a commotion, quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Uh... Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we'll be having a closing party in the square! Please enjoy the last night of this grand celebration!!"

Faced with the unexpected situation, Vivian had no choice but to immediately explain the follow-up arrangements, and finally managed to bring the ceremony to a close.

At this moment, Ash and Serena are standing on Togekiss's back, soaring together through the clouds.

The gliding plane released bursts of superpowers, transforming into a protective shield against the strong winds at high altitude. The two embraced each other tightly, their eyes never leaving each other.

"What are you looking at?" Serena asked with a light laugh.

"Look at my championship girlfriend from the festival." Ash tightened his grip on Serena's arm, his body almost touching hers. "The last match... no, all the matches in the entire tournament were amazing. I've been completely captivated and become a fan of you, the top Coordinator."

"Oh...so, what are your requirements for your idol, this heavyweight fan?" Serena smiled knowingly, a hint of sly expectation in her eyes.

"Of course I hope to get closer to my idol~" Xiao Zhi smiled, his arms gently tracing the girl's back, gradually drawing her closer to him.

Serena cooperated by melting herself into Ash's body, slowly closing her eyes and letting a wave of hot breath wash over her...

"Chak~" Togekiss wisely slowed down, a human-like helpless expression appearing on its face.

Sigh, why don't I have a pair of hands to cover my ears?

...

Congratulations to Serena on winning the championship! *N

At the evening party of the Slateport Festival, Ash and his friends gathered to celebrate Serena's birthday, creating a lively atmosphere.

There is no doubt that Serena has accomplished a remarkable feat.

From the moment she started participating in the Hoenn Grand Contest, it only took her two months to win five ribbons in a row, and finally she lifted the ribbon trophy at the celebration!

Such an achievement perfectly aligns with Ash's previous declaration of "overwhelming".

"Thank you everyone, but now it's time for us to cheer for Ash." Serena smiled gratefully, then looked tenderly at her boyfriend, "In the upcoming Hoenn League, it'll be Ash's turn to conquer the Hoenn League!"

"That's right, Ash will definitely win the championship!" Chiri said confidently.

Everyone present knew that this champion was by no means just a simple tournament champion!

If Ash can really do it, he will become a double champion who governs two leagues, just like Lance!

"Conquering Hoenn and winning the championship... isn't that a bit premature!"

The soft, feminine voice drew everyone's attention. It turned out that Mikuri had come, accompanied by Adam and Ryukia.

"Ash, you better not get too cocky. Hoenn isn't so easy for you to conquer... At least I'll definitely stop you!"

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, a disgruntled Michael confidently made his declaration.

"Mr. Wallace's fighting spirit is commendable, but what right do you have to stop me?" Ash asked with a curious shrug. "I don't think it's necessary to fight the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City again."

"You'll find out!" With that harsh remark, Mikoli turned and left, thinking he was being cool, but Adam behind him kept apologizing with a forced smile…

And Rukia hadn't left with him yet~

"Salina, congratulations on winning the championship!" Lucia went straight to Salina and said with a face full of gratitude, "I want to thank you. If it weren't for your encouragement, I probably wouldn't have even made it past the second round."

"That was just a spur-of-the-moment idea. I'm just glad you don't mind me meddling." Serena shook her head dismissively.

She was genuinely expressing her feelings at the time and didn't expect Ryukia to thank her.

“But that would help me a lot!” Rukia said eagerly, though she hesitated for a moment. “And actually, I have another question…”
