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

Both Haruka and Higanbana felt a little awkward, and they both spontaneously thought of what happened in Alola.

Custom-made cheerleading outfits, and slogans that are incredibly embarrassing...

“Cheerleader uniform…I don’t have one.” Rukia pondered with difficulty, then suddenly her eyes lit up. “Why don’t we wear formal dresses together? We have plenty of clothes, we can share one with Higanbana.”

"Are you kidding me? I would never wear those light, soft clothes!" Higana protested, her face flushed.

Whether the protest will be effective remains to be seen tomorrow.

Silent all night.

The next morning, all the spectators eagerly awaited their arrival from various parts of the stands.

Ash was the only one in the huge arena. The two player tunnels in front of and behind him were also closed, and it was unknown what was happening behind them.

"Ash, we're ready for the championship!" Steven's figure appeared in the main stands. "Enter through the player tunnel in front of you, and you'll see your first opponent; only by defeating all the obstacles in your path can you return to the main stadium and complete the final challenge!"

The challenge process was clearly optimized; Daigo probably took into account the large number of audience members present, as he couldn't expect them to watch the entire live stream from their seats.

"I understand." Ash took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the open door.

Inside the enclosed arena opposite the gate, the Ghost King, dressed in a blue dress, had been waiting for a long time.

She put one hand on her hip, seemingly unconcerned that the high slit of her long dress would reveal glimpses of her thighs, and simply looked at Xiaozhi with a half-smile.

"So the first challenge is Miss Hibiscus." Ash nodded slightly, as if to say hello.

"Mr. Ash, I have a question before we start the battle." Fleur threw out a Poké Ball, summoned a Cursed Doll, and asked with a serious expression, "The red and blue orbs, you had them stolen, and you've definitely destroyed them, right?"

“That’s right.” Ash admitted it readily. “I wanted to stop the Water and Fire Organization’s actions at the source, so I had Mewtwo steal the two gems, and later I destroyed them in front of Steven. As for why they reappeared, I have no idea.”

"Hmm... the Cursed Doll told me you weren't lying, so I'll believe you." Fleur finally smiled broadly. "Let's battle, Mr. Ash... if you beat me, I'll tell you a secret related to the Red and Blue Orbs!"

"I didn't expect such an unexpected bonus, let's begin... Dragapult!" Ash instantly entered battle mode, and as the Great Ball landed, Dragapult's mother, accompanied by a pair of twins, quietly appeared!

“Galarian quasi-god, not easy to deal with…” Fleur’s expression gradually turned serious, and the cursed doll was on high alert.

"Draco, use Dragon Dance!" The battle officially began, with Ash taking the lead by having Dragapult perform Dragon Dance in the air to boost its power.

"Cursed doll, provocation!"

"Dragon Arrow!"

"Opportunity! Charge in and use Destiny Bond!"

"Surprise attack!"

"This..." After a series of rapid exchanges at the start, Furong was a little confused.

The Cursed Doll did indeed seal Dragapult's buffs, but the subsequent Fate/Destiny Bond result was quite bizarre.

The dragon arrow released by Doron was actually from its twin sons, Doron Mesia. Seeing that the cursed doll was about to cause trouble, the two little guys dove to the left and right respectively.

The cursed doll's fate ultimately struck the dragon itself, but the dragon then disappeared into another dimension.

Right now, the two little ones are flying around the cursed doll, but the older one hasn't shown up yet, so Furong is a little hesitant to make any rash moves.

"Doryu, come out and attack!" "Doryu!"

Ash then launched a surprise attack. A spatial ripple appeared, and Dragapult suddenly appeared beside Doll!

At the same time, the two Doronmesias accelerated, rapidly closing in on the cursed doll.

"Cursed Doll, use Fate Shared... What?!" Fleur thought this would allow her to swap out Doron, but she discovered that the other party hadn't moved at all!

Instead, the two dragons returned to the top of the dragon's head and then ejected from the cabin at an extremely high speed!

"Dragon Arrow!"

Bang!Bang!

After two consecutive attacks, the cursed doll's stamina was completely depleted.

"Cursed Doll, Electromagnetic Wave!"

"Surprise attack!"

Bang!

The space rippled again. After the Cursed Doll's transformation move missed, Dragapult charged out and knocked its opponent to the ground.

"Doruru~" Having successfully secured their first victory, Dragapult picked up the two children and happily flew back to Ash's side.

“Cursed doll, come back…” Hibiscus’s expression was solemn; she had suffered a complete defeat from the start.

The cursed doll failed to win a single time in the rock-paper-scissors game, and its electromagnetic waves also failed to disgust anyone. It was eliminated without achieving anything!

When she finally faced Ash, Furong realized just how much battle experience he had as a trainer!

In addition, there's that Dorobalto, which is probably no match for my main force!

Chapter 939 Unbeatable Kirby, Consecutive Instant Kills

"Phew... Mr. Ash is really amazing. I'll send out my second Pokémon, Mismagius!"

After calming down, Hibiscus once again sent out her partner, which was also a popular pure Ghost-type.

"Dragon Dance!" Ash, as usual, let Dragapult use a boost.

Taking advantage of the opponent's exchange to strengthen oneself is, in a sense, the essence of strengthening tactics.

The choice of which players take the shot during the breaks between substitutions is very important.

Even if the opponent has just entered the fray, they can't just stand still and be a sitting duck, especially in fast-paced battles, where attacks during exchanges are actually not easy to hit.

Conversely, some enhancement and status skills have a higher success rate when used.

Since it's for personal use or the field, it can be completed in an instant. Even if the opponent attacks immediately after passing the ball, your team will have ample time to react...

For example, right now.

"Dream Demon, share the pain equally!"

"Surprise attack!"

After Misdreavus appeared, Fuyo tried to use its decent speed to score damage, but Dragapult was prepared and after Dragon Dance, it quickly disappeared into another dimension.

"Come out and attack! Use Dragon Arrows!"

"Dream Demon, we share the same fate!"

Bang!

The deadly beam struck accurately, while the latter's dragon arrow only hit its mark once!

The two-level attack boost is not to be underestimated. The Dream Demon was also severely injured by this attack... but it did not lose its ability to fight!

This was of course Ash's deliberate intention. Since it launches the children directly to crash into people, as long as the two Dragapults are specially trained, Dragon Arrow will become a move that can actively aim and autonomously choose the number of hits!

Of course, this is also thanks to the power of the Monster Tablet and the Millennium Gastly. Although the two little Dragapults are young, their abilities have already surpassed those of their kind, and they can completely control their bodies while flying at near-sonic speeds.

"Dragon back, now it's Greninja's turn!" Taking advantage of Mismagius's momentary daze, Ash immediately made the switch, and the high-speed Luxo Ball opened right in front of Mismagius's face!

"This... Dream Demon, quickly divide the pain equally..."

"Water Shuriken!"

*Pfft!*5

Although Mismagius was gathering all its energy, Greninja's shuriken were a step ahead. Almost the instant it released the ball, five sharp shuriken hit its opponent's body at the same time!

Destiny Bonds cannot be used consecutively, so Greninja can go all out on offense.

Water Shuriken is a preemptive move, so if Mismagius is delayed even a little, Greninja will be able to attack faster!

After another battle, the Dream Demon also made no progress and left the stage, which made Hibiscus feel a little frustrated.

But Ash won't hold back, so this frustration will continue.

For her third Pokémon, Fuyu sent out a Windball, which is not common in the Hoenn region. Ash had encountered it before when he battled Acerola, so he was already familiar with it.

Greninja first provokes and blocks transformation moves, then immediately unleashes its Bond Phenomenon, creating a large group of clones that unleash Water Shuriken from all directions.

The Windball couldn't shrink or protect itself, so it could only endure the relentless barrage of attacks. Finally, it used its remaining health to launch a suicidal attack on Greninja.

"Windball, Big Bang!"

"The insects are back!"

Bang! !

Faced with the reckless rush of the Windball, Greninja deftly tapped its opponent's forehead with its toe. As the violent explosion swept through, it transformed into a streak of red light and flew back into the ball.

Thanks to the rapid return and substitution effect, Greninja only absorbed a very small portion of the explosion damage, with the remaining impact being absorbed by its companions…

However, it was replaced by Dragapult, which is completely immune to normal damage.

In actual battles, things are much more flexible than in the game. The order of your Poké Balls isn't fixed; you can put whichever Poké Ball you want to use in the game by placing it in front of you.

If you want to play a bit more unconventionally, you can have several Pokémon use U-turn in succession, which will definitely annoy your opponent.

"It's this one again... Chandelure, I'm counting on you!" For her fourth Pokémon, Flynn switched to Chandelure, a Pokémon from Unova.

However, to be fair, since it's not a main force, this one really isn't as strong as Wanlong's.

"Draco, come back! Snorlax, you go!" Ash immediately chose to switch, deciding not to let Dragapult face him.
