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

This mother and her three dragons are definitely pay-to-win pets.

"In the end, it was my carelessness..." Daigo sighed helplessly, and could only accept the fact that Metagross only had one Comet Punch left.

As for having two Dragapults attack together, there's nothing wrong with that, since it's within the rules of Pokémon official battles.

Pokémon that are classified as having a symbiotic relationship and can be stored in the same Poké Ball can be sent out to battle together, as long as the total number of their moves does not exceed four.

The Mega-evolved Kangaskhan mother and daughter are like this. Some people also have Manta Rayquaza fight alongside Remora... Of course, there can only be two at most, attached to their wings on either side.

Doing something like that fifth guy, sucking all twenty gunfish under the belly of a giant flying fish, would definitely be considered a foul!

"Alright, the final battle is about to begin... Dragapult, take over." With everything ready, Dragapult revealed its biggest trump card, and Ash immediately opted for an alley-oop switch.

The Baton Pass is one of the few alternative moves that won't trigger follow-up attacks, so Daigo can only watch helplessly for now.

At the same time, he is also looking forward to the final showdown.

"Metal!" With a deep roar, Ash's Metagross finally made its official debut in the final battle!

"Let's go all out from the start!" Ash didn't hesitate and revealed his Key Stone, the light of Mega Evolution exploding outwards!

Two super shiny Metagross monsters are competing against each other!

Soon, everyone noticed the difference.

Both Pokémon have silver-gray bodies, but after Steven's Metagross Mega Evolves, the golden cross on its face turns blue, while Ash's remains pure gold.

When it used mental interference and combined it with magnetic levitation, everyone discovered that the superpower it released was a special golden color!

"Hoo... Let's begin! Metagross, telekinesis!" Daigo adjusted his state and took the lead in having his partner activate the lock-on.

"Bullet Punch!" Ash chose to take the initiative and launch a preemptive strike. Metagross burst forward at an extremely fast speed, swinging out one of its giant claws like a bullet!

clang! !

The collision of metal produced a piercing explosion, even causing the audience in the front row to frown in unison.

Facing Ash's charging punch, Steven's Metagross easily blocked it with just his arm, and then raised his other claw to retaliate!

"Use follow-up attacks!"

"Stomp your feet!"

In another clash where neither side would give way, Ash's Metagross suddenly felt a jolt and was even uncontrollably knocked backward.

It looked at its iron claws and discovered that the spot where its fists had collided had been broken off!

"That's the strongest Metagross in the world... You can't compete with it right now, but if we play to our strengths, we can win." Ash calmly encouraged his partner.

It's perfectly normal to fall into a disadvantageous position after a head-on confrontation.

Steven's Metagross is practically a fortress; its level and the metal that makes up its body are far superior to Ash's Metagross.

However, Ash and Metagross have the advantage created by their teammates, and as Ash said, they also have their strengths!

"Mental interference!" "Metal!"

Ash's Metagross unleashed its psychic power, weaving a thick web around itself while simultaneously spreading its energy like threads, relentlessly binding its opponent's body.

"Ignore it! Go straight for the chase attack!" Daigo suddenly waved his hand, commanding his Metagross to charge like a meteor.

Ash's Metagross is good at psychic abilities, but for Steven, that's exactly the ability he doesn't need to worry about.

Putting aside Metagross's type and the resistance it gains from Special Defense, its sheer strength is enough to break free from the constraints of psychic powers.

Metagross didn't care about this entanglement at all; its brain was like a computer, and it would filter out infinitesimals when it was thinking.

"Use Bullet Punch to speed things up!" Ash and Steven started a hit-and-run game, with Metagross using the explosive power of Bullet Punch to dodge at the limit, while Psychic continued to be cast.

"Use telekinesis! Then keep attacking!" Daigo was fortunate to have telekinesis, although it was a bit troublesome, it still allowed him to lock onto his opponent's position and force him to exchange punches with him.

If it's a stationary, head-on battle, Steven is confident he can win; he has absolute faith in his Metagross's defense!

But what he didn't know was that the reason Ash had his friends go to such great lengths to create a weakness wasn't actually to target Metagross's defense... but its special defense!

“Metal!”

"It's here?" Ash's spirits lifted when he heard his Metagross roar. "Go all out... Psychic!"

hum! !

Metagross burst into golden light, and the psychic power that had been covering the field gathered instantly, thrusting forward like an invisible spear. It dodged the iron claw's interception and pierced directly into the crack on Steven's Metagross face!

"Metal!" Daigo's Metagross screamed in agony. It felt a sharp, needle-like pain in its brain and momentarily shut down, unable to even think.

"Metamorphosis!" Daigo exclaimed in surprise.

Only then did he realize that Ash was actually going to use his psychic powers to attack a weakness!

The damage from mental interference is indeed very low, but if it's a weakness attack and it triggers the additional effect of lowering special defense, then that's a different story!

"This is our attack method!" Ash finally revealed a confident smile. "My Metagross will destroy everything with its psychic powers!"

The reason he had Metagross constantly release Psychic was never to control the opponent, but to make Steven's Metagross get used to this negligible constraint, and then instinctively ignore it when calculating!

In this way, when the superpowers become so strong that they can no longer be ignored, it will be caught off guard!

"In that case, let's settle this once and for all!" Daigo knew this was a do-or-die moment, and he no longer told his partner to hold back. "Metroidvania, unleash the final Comet Punch!!"

"Metal!!" The giant claws closed, and Steven's Metagross transformed once again into a meteor with a long comet tail, launching a final attack on Ash's Metagross!

"Don't worry about the probabilities! Use the grass knot technique, you'll definitely be able to block it!!"

"Metal!!" Ash's Metagross also unleashed its full psychic power, transforming all its psychic energy into layers of giant nets that continuously entangled its opponent's body.

At the same time, endless vines began to grow wildly on the ground, and the grass knots, enhanced by the hard claws, tightly pulled Steven's Metagross body, finally bringing it to a stop on the ground!

"Punch with bullets!"

boom! !

With the attack coming at such close range, Steven's Metagross had no way to defend itself and could only let its opponent's iron claws pound heavily on its face!

It flew backwards amidst the flying iron filings, disintegrating back into its original form.

"Match over!!!" The commentator's hysterical roar echoed as Daigo's Metagross crashed to the ground.

"Champion Steven's Metagross is unable to battle! The ultimate victor, and the one who clears the Champion Road, is Challenger Ash!!"

"He will become the new Hoenn Champion!!!"

Chapter 958 I, Ash, the Hoenn Champion!

Really passed the level!

At this moment, the entire venue was in an uproar!

Many people were cheering and shouting, and many more were excitedly calculating what kind of achievement Xiao Zhi had made.

The Pokémon League has a long history, and the Victory Road, as a tradition passed down since ancient times, is extremely difficult, yet there are many who manage to complete it.

Ash's victory wasn't just an ordinary one; he defeated the Hoenn Champions and the three Kings, making it an enhanced version of the Champion Road.

He has another unparalleled achievement – ​​his undefeated record continues!

Even after such a rigorous battle, he still managed to keep none of his partners from losing their fighting ability!

Don't think that you can just replace the player when the game is almost over.

Steven's setup is obvious to everyone: Cubone swarms to grab people, Metagross to chase and defend against swapping... With such a relentless pursuit, who can guarantee that his partner will escape unscathed if it were anyone else?

There are also various tightrope walking battles, Greninja's lightning strike against Skarmory, and Dragapult's Ultimate Stand when Comet Punch comes at him...

Knowing that they would be instantly defeated, would anyone dare to do it once?

At the same time, many people have also discovered an additional achievement: Ash used the same type of Pokémon when defeating every Elite Four member or Champion's ace.

Two consecutive championship battles were even more impressive, with Pokémon of the same kind pulling off upsets!

This is something that almost no one in the world today can do.

The final and most important achievement, as everyone generally believes, is that he will become the champion of two regions, and not in regions like Osaka and Sekito, which have been closely connected since ancient times!

Uh, maybe there's another achievement...

"Ash is the best! His win rate is 100%!" *N

"Ash, Ash, you're the most invincible! I'll marry you if you become the champion!!" *N

...

A group of beautiful women danced enthusiastically in the audience, their sweet voices shouting playful yet romantic slogans that echoed throughout the stands.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was absolutely eye-catching, drawing the attention of countless people.

Ash naturally caught it accurately, and a smile crept onto his face.

This time, I don't know how many people shouted it together...

"Ash, I've lost!" Steven came up to Ash and shook his hand sincerely. "I'm completely convinced of the outcome of this battle! You are a powerful trainer and someone I can entrust with my responsibilities... I believe that entrusting Hoenn to you will make things even better!"

The scene, which had just calmed down, erupted into another round of noise.

Steven's surrender as champion means that Ash is officially taking over Hoenn!

"I will do my best!" Ash solemnly promised, then smiled and raised an eyebrow, "However, Mr. Daigo will also have to help."
