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

really!

Daigo's cold and stern gaze made Kagetsu feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

He should have realized long ago what the other people in the room were all from.

Wallace is an emotional guy, and he's in cahoots with Steven. He'll challenge Ash to a duel for personal grudges, and he'll also scheme against himself for Steven's sake!

As for Genji and Fuyou, even without their positions as kings, they possess enough power to establish themselves in the newly formed Hoenn League!

The only one who gets abandoned is yourself!

"hateful…"

"Fu Rong will lead the Champion's Road challenge, with Genji, Kagetsu, and Mikuri guarding the second, third, and fourth stages respectively." Before Kagetsu could grit his teeth, Daigo calmly announced the decision, "From now until the Champion's Road challenge ends, all of you will supervise each other, and no one is allowed to leave Rainbow City!"

Even the last glimmer of hope was extinguished!

Huayue was monitored the entire time. Even when Xiaozhi was challenging him, he was caught between Wallace and Genji, and had no chance of escaping.

"Understood, I'll stay here!" Hua Yue replied sinisterly, her face already turning quite ferocious.

"It's good that you know." Daigo nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left.

As for Kagetsu's expression and what he was planning, Daigo didn't care at all.

Please, Ash is a super strong player who can influence the outcome of battles against the gods. How could he be ambushed by a scoundrel like you?

Putting aside how many powerful Pokémon he has protecting him, his Kyokugenryu Karate alone could render you helpless.

"Hanazuki, as a former colleague, I have to give you some advice." Furu, who was about to leave, adopted a serious expression. "When you encounter that Ash, try to keep the battle within the realm of standard, predictable fights. That will do you good."

"You don't need to worry about this!" Hua Yue gritted her teeth, trying to maintain her last shred of dignity.

The outcome of the Hoenn conflict is already decided; there's nothing he can change now!

...

The off-season has finally ended, and amidst much anticipation, the Rainbow Tournament has ushered in its final competition.

"Who will take home the championship title in the final of the Hoenn League's Hoenn Tournament?!" Amidst the commentator's enthusiastic shouts, Ash and Yuuki stepped onto the stage at the same time.

"Red team: Ash from Pallet Town; Green team: Yuuki from Littleroot Town... Both teams can use six Pokémon, with Ash going first!"

"Go, Blaziken!"

"Please, Swampert!"

The two sent out their Pokémon one after the other, which happened to be the three starter Pokémon from the Hoenn region, representing opposing water and fire elements.

"Ash, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time! Let's have a battle of all-out effort!" Yuuki raised his hand and pointed at Ash with great enthusiasm, while Swampert also clenched its fists together, looking eager to try.

However, Ash's expression didn't seem so natural.

"Um... Yuuki, before we start the battle, I have a question for you." Ash seemed a little hesitant to ask, "Does your weapon this time have any anti-boosting features like Haze?"

"Huh?" Yuuki was taken aback, completely unaware of what Ash was up to.

Asking the opponent about their moveset at the start of the match... If Ash were to protest, he might get a warning from the referee.

"Alright, I'll apologize first..." Ash smiled apologetically, then his expression turned serious. "Blizzard, physique!"

"Whoa!" Blaziken tensed its muscles, and its aura surged dramatically.

Start-up buff: Attack, Defense, and Speed ​​+1!

"Swamp, use Waterfall!" Yuuki commanded Swamp to launch an attack without hesitation, but Blaziken's eyes flashed blue and it easily dodged the attack.

"See?! Keep building up!" Speedy Turkey clenched its fists again, greedily boosting its power even when its opponent was right in front of it!

"Shoot with mud!"

boom!

The sprayed mud hit the Blaziken in the face, making it shake its head in discomfort.

But even after that, Ash continued to strengthen his character regardless of the consequences!

"Blazing Chicken, muscular!"

"Hey, you wouldn't...?"

Recalling Ash's initial problems, Yuuki's lips twitched involuntarily...

Chapter 935: The ban on long-range relays wasn't without reason.

Ruthless, shameless, unreasonable, and lacking in martial ethics...

Since the start of the war, Yuuki has cursed the enemy countless times in his mind.

No wonder Ash had that expression, and even asked about the black mist and anti-boosting. Turns out there was a dirty trick waiting for him!

This turkey is playing a bodybuilding game with a speed boost and a "foresight" skill to stall for time. Is it trying to unleash its full attack, defense, and speed potential?!

Ash said that Yuuki guessed right; he was going to use a dirty trick in the relay race, and not just any dirty trick.

In real battles, if you encounter a reinforced relay tactic and your lineup doesn't have any anti-reinforcement options, it will be quite difficult to win.

Due to limitations in actual level and certain physical attributes, the conditions for the activation of forced exchange methods such as shouting and yelling will be more stringent.

For example, Ash's Steelix can swing its tail and knock anyone out of the battle, but if someone shouts at it, no matter how hard they yell, it won't have any effect.

Even if you get applauded during the enhancement process, it doesn't matter. You can just keep using it.

Reality isn't a game, after all. Pokémon can run around like crazy, and if you can't fight them, you can at least avoid them.

Blaziken is in this situation now. In addition to Foresight, Ash has also equipped it with a Stone Edge for defense, specifically to block direct attacks that Foresight cannot handle.

Mud shooting and water cannons were all blocked outside the huge stone pillar.

Swampert chased after the turkey, panting heavily, but ultimately failed to catch the increasingly fast-moving turkey. Instead, it nearly took several hits from the turkey's Stone Edge: Thousand Years of Death, leaving it utterly exhausted.

Then, Blaziken boosted its attack, defense, and speed to +6.

Yuuki knew that Satoshi was about to be replaced, so he quickly got into a high-pressure situation... but he would soon realize that he had cursed too early!

"Blazing Turkey, take the baton!" The baton-taking tactic was finally put into practice, and replacing the Speed-Up Turkey was a chubby plane with a sinister expression...

"Togekiss...when did it evolve?" Yuuki was stunned. When he reviewed the data last night, this was still a small plane.

"Last night, I gave it a Light Stone." Ash said it casually, but it made Yuuki want to vomit blood.

"Never mind... Go! Swampert, use Water Cannon!" Yuuki cleared his mind of distractions and once again commanded Swampert to launch a fierce attack from a distance.

He didn't use the Freeze Punch that was designed for Pokkisk, whose defense was currently at its peak, so the Freeze Punch simply didn't do any damage.

Besides, getting close to a flying-type is far too risky; it's better to feint an attack and gamble on the opponent dodging...

"Togekiss, get out of the way and use Instant Amnesia!"

"Use the water cannon at full power... What?!"

boom!

Yuuki was right; Ash really did make Togekis dodge the attack. However, when Swampert unleashed its full power with Hydro Pump, he discovered that Togekiss was still boosting its power!

Airplanes already have high Special Defense, and now with two more levels, Swampert's Hydro Pump is truly ineffective against them.

But this is not over yet!

"Pokekiss, a conspiracy!"

“I…you…” Looking at the plane that should have been angelic but instead had a sinister expression, Yuuki restrained himself for a long time before finally suppressing the urge to curse.

With a boost to both Special Defense and Special Attack, plus the previous Attack, Defense, and Speed, how could he not guess what that bastard Ash was up to?

Pokémon can also use batons, and this guy is clearly going to use a long baton!

"Swamp Monster, come back right now! Then switch to Aggron!"

"Pokekiss, a conspiracy!"

Sensing something was wrong, Yuuki immediately made a substitution, but while the Steelix was on the field, Ash shamelessly stole two more stages of Special Attack.

"Aggron, Taunt!" Having just managed to stop his opponent's power-up move, Yuuki breathed a sigh of relief...

"Is this really okay... Pokkiss, Aobuzz!"

"Oh no... Aggron, immediately use Stone Strike to defend!"

Boom! !

The wave missile, with a diameter of half a meter, roared away, instantly shattering the rock pillar that Aggron had built in front of it, and knocking Aggron itself to the ground with the blow.

After all, it has a Special Attack +4, and Togekiss itself relies on Special Attack. This attack with a 4x multiplier didn't instantly kill Aggron, which can only be attributed to its Sturdy ability.

"Still holding up? Let's go for another round~" "Okay~"

A wicked smile appeared on Pokekis's face, and the second wave missile exploded with a deafening roar!

"Aggron, use Protect!" Yuuki gave the order in time, and they narrowly withstood the attack.

However, he knew very well that Bosscodora was beyond saving.

Togekiss's attacks are fast and powerful, and Aggron will definitely be eliminated before it can be replaced... It's better for it to leave the field more valuable!

"Aggron, use Stealth Rock!"
