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

Doron finally used the last move of this battle. At this moment, its explosive power far exceeded the limitations of the Deception Space, and it flew past the Night Demon like a teleport!

“Night Demon…” Hibiscus could only stare blankly as her last partner fell from the sky, and the Deception Space shattered with a crash.

"Doruru!!" Dragapult roared excitedly to the sky, dancing happily with the two children before finally flying back to Ash's side.

"You played really well, and the little guys did a great job too." Ash smiled and patted the heads of the three, and the big one and two little ones all showed happy smiles.

"I lost. Mr. Ash is really amazing." Floss recalled Dusknoir and came to Ash with a slightly dejected look. "This is the first time I've ever been beaten like this. Even Destiny Bond couldn't take you down."

"Because I have a long way to go, I have to protect them as much as possible," Ash said with a smile. "Of course, Miss Fleur's Pokémon are all very good, and we had a lot of fun battling them."

"You don't need to use nice words. A complete defeat is a complete defeat." Furong waved her hand dismissively.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi stopped being polite and got straight to the point.

"Miss Furong, can the previous conditions be fulfilled?"

"Of course, but..."

"It's alright, please speak freely." Seeing Furong looking around with difficulty, Xiaozhi knew her concerns and gave her a reassuring look.

The Road to Champion Challenge is broadcast live, and some insider information is not suitable for all viewers to know.

But this isn't a problem for Ash; he can just have his Pokémon temporarily block the broadcast.

"Does Mr. Ash know the specific origins of the Red and Blue Orbs?" Fleur asked at this moment.

"The elders of Meteor Village have told us that the indigo orb is said to be a creation of the Water People."

"So you know about the Water People too." Furong was slightly surprised before continuing, "Indeed, the Indigo Orb was originally created by the Water People to protect Hoenn and fight against the Crimson Orb."

"To protect Hoenn and fight against... the Crimson Orb?" Ash frowned in confusion.

"That's right. The Crimson Orb was originally created by invaders to awaken Groudon and conquer Hoenn. The Water People went through great hardships to finally steal the manufacturing method from them and created the Indigo Orb, which could rival it... But because they used the methods of bad people, there are great risks in using the two orbs."

This secret of Furong was truly something Xiaozhi had never expected.

He even suspected that other high-ranking members of the Hoenn Alliance might not know these things.

“I’m telling you this to tell Mr. Ash that the Red and Blue Orbs were originally evil, and their reappearance must be related to a conspiracy,” Fleur said worriedly. “Now, the only one who can fight against this conspiracy is Mr. Ash.”

"I can only do my best," is all Xiaozhi can say now.

Regarding the reappearance of the red and blue orbs, he only knew that the alpaca was behind it all, but he knew nothing about the enemy's whereabouts.

“I also know a little about the Water People, which I hope will be of some help to Mr. Ash,” Fleur continued. “In ancient times, the Water People were very prosperous in Hoenn, but they gradually declined and split into many different branches. But no matter how they fell, their worship of the sea god in their bones will never diminish.”

"Worship the sea god?" Ash instinctively thought of the group of people on Asia Island.

"Mr. Ash may have met the Water People before, but they themselves may not even know this identity... What I'm going to tell you is the specific whereabouts of one of the Water People."

"Where?" Xiao Zhi's expression hardened, and he immediately listened attentively.

“It’s quite a coincidence, it’s in Kanto!” Furong revealed with a smile. “If you have time, go ask Ashida, he’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”

"Mr. Ashida?!"

Ashida, Battle Frontier, Frontier Brain!

In an instant, a figure entered Ash's mind...

Chapter 941 VS Genji, the Old Captain is both reckless and fierce

"Drow Ranger, Greninja, and Snorlax, eat and then go to sleep!"

In the break before starting the second challenge, Ash was diligently urging his teammates to recover their stats.

The intervals between challenges on the road to the championship are the same as the halftime break in a typical all-player match, lasting only ten minutes.

Ash didn't have time to think about the information about the Orbs and the Water People; he had to focus on preparing for the next match.

"Metamorphose, you don't need to Mega Evolve this time. Put the Mega Stone down first."

This is also a detail. Whether Ash faces Flower Moon or Genji next, they will be aggressive players. You can use a more strategic approach to disrupt them.

Moreover, he had done his research beforehand and knew that his opponent would likely have some Pokémon and would be relying on items to fight.

Putting down evolution stones that cannot be traded in advance might have some unexpected effects at some point.

"Let's go!"

After quickly completing the preparations, Ash set off again.

The second door opened, and standing before Ash was the captain, dressed in a cool cape.

Dragon King, Genji!

"Young man, you've finally arrived!" Genji's voice was somewhat aged, but still full of energy.

As expected of someone who spends many years at sea, his muscles are very well-developed, and he looks at least ten years younger than he actually is.

"Greetings, Dragon King." Ash nodded, acknowledging the greeting.

More than Origin Origin, he is now concerned about the condition of this room.

The arena that Genji used for battles was much more spacious than the one Fuyou used before, and the roof was also fully open, allowing flying Pokémon to soar freely.

In the middle of the venue, there was even a water reservoir.

Ash saw some mechanisms and boundary marks on the banks of the pool, and deduced that the area could be changed.

Fighting from the water all the way up to the sky—that must be this kind of all-encompassing combat mode…

"To be honest, I am ashamed... When Hoenn was in trouble, I listened to the wrong information, which led to a lot of wasted effort. In the end, it was you who turned the tide."

Genji sighed, then changed the subject: "But now that you've come this far, I won't let you pass so easily! Tanabata Bluebird!"

Genji took the lead, sending out his Tanabata Bluebirds to hover at low altitudes in preparation.

"You're starting this game, Milotic!" "Miyo!"

Genji provided a ready-made water-based terrain, and Ash immediately sent out Megami to battle first.

Milotic, with its slender body, landed gracefully in the water, creating a stunning scene with the rippling waves.

"Is it this kind of Pokémon that's all show and no substance?" Genji seemed somewhat disdainful.

Dragon-type trainers don't seem to like light, fluffy things, like Milotic... and Wallace~

Then Ash became very curious: why don't they mind Altaria?

"Mr. Genji, Milotic might not be happy if you say that," Ash said, seemingly out of kindness.

Da Meili's face had already turned ashen and her almond-shaped eyes wide open, which was a typical sign that she was about to turn into a shrew.

"If you're not happy, then use your strength to make me change my mind!" Genji suddenly waved his hand, and the Tanabata bird let out a fierce cry, "Song of Destruction!"

"diving!"

This old man is really something else, he started with a team wipe and a requiem right from the start... By the way, I've never heard of this before, even from Furong!

Fortunately, Milotic was in the water, and with a quick dive, it temporarily escaped the battlefield.

"What a pity... Altaria, use Dragon Dance!" A hint of regret flashed in Genji's eyes, but he kept giving commands, immediately making Altaria complete the enhancement.

"Mernas, attack! Use Blizzard!"

I've seen reckless people, but I've never seen anyone this reckless. Even though Altaria was hit by the Annihilation Song, Milotic still had the mood to strengthen itself. It broke out of the water and soared into the sky like a dragon!

It opened its mouth and spewed out extremely cold wind and snow, blowing the bursting water droplets into sharp ice shards, which it then fired wildly at the Tanabata Bluebird!

"Qixi Bluebird, Big Character Explosion!"

Genji immediately commanded Altaria to spew out blazing flames, but he had clearly underestimated Milotic's attack range. Although the large, star-shaped flames melted away a lot of the snow and wind, Altaria was still hit by the remaining cold wind!

After all, it was four times the weight, so this was already quite a blow to it.

"Use stunt performers!" But Genji seemed to enjoy the danger of walking a tightrope. With the time limit for the Annihilation Song about to expire, he actually had Altaria charge at Milotic, which was falling from the sky!

"Milotic, send it back, using its tail!"

Bang!

The sharp beak collided head-on with the long, giant tail. Milotic shuddered and fell into the water in a slightly disheveled state, while Altaria saved the trouble of using Genji to replace it, and directly transformed into a red light and flew back into the sphere.

It should be about time... Xiao Zhi thought to himself.

With some of the blizzard damage and the complete dragon tail, Altaria has very little stamina left, enough to use as fuel.

"Milotic, Regenerate!" Taking advantage of the opponent's switch, Ash immediately had Milotic replenish the stamina it had just used.

In this match, Ash did not use the usual Coil-and-Hypnosis strategy. He needed Milotic to restrain the opponent as much as possible on the field, to find out the opponent's moveset, and ideally, to also control the opponent's switching.

hum~

The Poké Ball flashed, and Genji's second Pokémon entered the fray on its own initiative—a Poisonous Algae Dragon, which is quite common in Kalos!

As a captain who frequently sails long distances, it's quite reasonable for him to have a venomous dragon living in the sea.

"Milotic, Blizzard!" Ash preemptively unleashed a massive blizzard.

"Poisonous Algae Dragon, create a wave to block!" Yuanzhi had learned his lesson this time. He knew that the blizzard's attack range was too wide, so he simply had the Poisonous Algae Dragon summon a wave like a city wall in front of it, completely blocking the blizzard's attack.

"Next, use the deadly poison!"

"Jump up and unleash Blizzard!"
