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

"What do you think? Even May... Anyway, I'm going to catch a new Pokémon!"

Serena was clearly in a hurry.

The fact that the female lead is supposed to be Eevee was something that all the girls present that day, except for the mischievous Little Blue, believed and were actually trying their best in various ways.

Lila caught that special Eevee on the spot, and Sabrina later evolved into Espeon... Nanami even went so far as to bully Gary for it!

Serena also heard some rumors that Lillie used her mother's connections to search for Eevee in Alola... and apparently she found it recently!

If things continue like this, what if Xiaochun manages to summon a Jolteon someday? Wouldn't I end up in last place... or even only be able to catch duplicates of other people's Jolteons?!

(Does she care that much...?) Ash was slightly taken aback, but he could understand Serena's feelings.

She puts her heart into everything that concerns her and doesn't want to fall behind, so of course Xiaozhi won't let her continue to struggle with it.

So, while watching the Grand Contest in Gilbar Town, Ash secretly sent a message to someone.

'Your daughter-in-law needs an Eevee now.'

That's enough. Xiao Zhi doesn't even need to explain further. Just the word "daughter-in-law" is enough to spur the other party to immediately return to her old ways.

After the conspiracy was completed, the Giruba Conference came to a close.

In their third clash, Super Blaziken and Super Altaria ran out of time, but May ultimately won the score and was the first to obtain the second ribbon.

She had found a new way to deal with the Super Altaria... Since the other party wouldn't let her strengthen it, she simply wouldn't strengthen it.

Throughout the spectacular battle, Blaziken completely abandoned Swords Dance and Protect, relying solely on its speed to outmaneuver its opponent.

It will occasionally use its signature move, Fly Jump, to engage in aerial battles with Super Altaria... and once it gets a chance to get close, it will immediately unleash its Poison Strike!

The repeated attacks triggered the poison attack effect, causing the Altaria to become poisoned!

This forces Altaria to land frequently to respond, making it easier for Blaziken to launch attacks.

Anyway, if you have an earthquake, I'll get close in a flash, even if it affects me, I'll deduct as many points as possible from your score!

This is Xiaoyao's plan: if she can't outlast you, she'll keep you under her control!

...

"Ash, how did you feel about the match just now?" As they left the venue, May timidly approached Ash, wanting to ask for his opinion.

"Great! Both sides had a fantastic fight." Ash said with a smile. "Constantly using moves and countering them is the process of getting stronger, and you've all improved... But as a trainer, you have to take care of all the partners you've caught at the same time."

Both girls understood that Xiaozhi was reminding them not to neglect other skills while training their main strength.

With Blaziken and Altaria ending up like this, it's definitely time to move past the phase where the main fighters were locked in a fierce battle.

Next comes the all-out competition as Coordinators, with Skitty, Milotic, the two Ralts, and the newly acquired egg all within their full range of strength!

(Hehe~) Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

While others might be evenly matched, when it comes to this egg, it's practically unbeatable!

Chapter 1002 Battle Against the Giant Dome, Also Ash's Home Ground!

The third facility in the Kanto Battle Frontier: Battle Dome.

When Ash traveled to this point in the original story, he apparently attended a press conference... but all the reporters were drawn to the Dome Star, Hills, and Ash was just a supporting character.

But Ash won't encounter that situation when he takes on challenges now.

Because he is much more famous than Hills.

Given Ash's current status, even if Ash had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to use Ash's battle with Hills as a publicity stunt without Ash's consent.

But a welcoming ceremony was still possible. So when Ash and his friends stepped into the Battle Dome, they were greeted by a deafening roar from all directions, along with cheers so enthusiastic they could shake the rooftops!

Inside the enormous arena, countless people chanted Ash's name; the scene was undeniably breathtaking!

"Ash is amazing!" Rukia exclaimed, covering her mouth in amazement.

In her view, the enthusiasm of the surrounding audience had surpassed the support that the people of Hoenn had once given to Daigo and her uncle.

“After all, this is Kanto,” Serena said with a smile. “Although Mr. Hills is the main character in the battle against the Dome, this is also Ash’s home turf.”

Ash, standing nearby, agreed that this was absolutely true; Kanto is definitely their home turf... both now and in the original story.

To say something that might get me criticized, Ash didn't particularly like the storyline during his travels in the Advanced Generation series of the anime.

The protagonist, Ash, is portrayed as reckless and impulsive. He was determined to train only those six creatures, but even after reaching the Rainbow League, he couldn't advance further with the Forest Lizard and the Lobster Squad.

Especially in the battle against Tetsuya, if either of these two had evolved a little more, the outcome of that battle, and even the winner of the Rainbow Tournament, would probably have been different!

In addition, there are the siblings, Haruka and Satoshi, who each have their own problems... such as a certain troublesome green-haired guy, and the episode about North Petalburg City that Ash dislikes the most.

However, all these problems disappeared after the journey in the Battle Frontier began.

Ash is awesome, and all the storylines are pleasing to the eye... Of course, we still have to exclude the two green guys.

Ash believes the reason is that he returned to Kanto.

Special thanks to FireRedLeafGreen, the remake brought the stage back to the very beginning, ensuring that no one can bully Ash on his home turf anymore!

...

"Finally, the man has arrived!"

The rousing voices echoed clearly in the arena, instantly drowning out the surrounding clamor.

The noisy crowd began to turn their attention to the large screen on site, where a silhouette of a boy had appeared.

He was accompanied by many Pokémon, though they kept changing.

"Starting from the Kanto League, this person has participated in four League Conferences: Indigo, Silver, Manalo, and Rainbow, winning the championship in every single one! He is also one of the three highest-ranking officials in the Kanto and Johto Leagues, the first champion of the Alola League, and the only current Hoenn champion in modern times to have achieved an undefeated championship path and a dominant rise to the top!!"

As the host announced each achievement, a scene of Xiao Zhi competing at that time would be played on the big screen, and the cheers from the audience grew louder and louder.

The clamor of the crowd enveloped Serena and her two friends, who were preparing to watch the battle, and together with the audience, they began to review Ash's past achievements.

Serena is alright; she and Ash have known each other for a long time and are practically inseparable... Her only regret was missing the Silver Conference, which is now being made up for in a small way.

However, for May and Rukia, who have recently been harboring some different thoughts, this wave will constantly remind them... what kind of existence Ash truly is in the hearts of those people.

And this person accompanied them on their trip, taking meticulous care of them...

"Now, he returns to Kanto with the passion of battle, storming into the Battle Frontier like a hurricane, and is about to engage in the most thrilling and intense duel with the superstar Lord Hills!"

"Let us welcome with the grandest ceremony the champion of champions, the unparalleled legend of battles, the invincible Red Star—Ash Ketchum!!"

boom! !

The entire venue erupted in cheers, the spotlights illuminating Ash's poised figure as he prepared for battle, and the deafening roar of the crowd nearly shattered eardrums.

Seeing this, Ash smiled and waved to the audience around him, also giving a slight bow in greeting.

Such a welcoming ceremony was truly heartfelt.

Moreover, he could sense that the audience's enthusiastic cheers were not simply a reaction to his power.

He even had a feeling that no matter how today's match turned out, even if it really became a battle of weaklings, everyone would accept it gladly.

The audience supports Ash Ketchum as a person.

If he is willing to come back to Kanto, stand on the battlefield, and let everyone see him, that would be the greatest encouragement to the people here!

"Next, please welcome the guardian of the battle dome—Lord Hills!"

Without the excessive embellishments of the original work, a simple spotlight illuminates the opposite side, allowing the audience to see Hills appear on the rising platform.

He wore the same clothes as in the animation, and his hairstyle was also very unique, but his expression was solemn and serious.

After he appeared, there were no extravagant light displays; the dome was simply illuminated.

"Are you satisfied, Mr. Ash?" Hills bowed politely to Ash. "This welcome ceremony was prepared for you by me, the entire staff of the Battle Dome, and all the dear audience members present."

"Thank you so much!" Xiao Zhi nodded gratefully, his heart trembling with excitement.

He now even feels somewhat flattered.

Hills completely abandoned the flamboyance of the anime, not wanting to steal the spotlight from Ash... In today's battle, he will give up the stage that originally belonged to him and honor Ash as the protagonist of the battle against the dome!

"Mr. Ash, let's have a wonderful duel!" With everything ready, Hills shouted passionately, "I will show you my most masterful art, the fusion of fire and water, which is both fiery and ruthless!"

"Woof!" "Ragu!"

Two Poké Balls were thrown at the same time, and the majestic Arcanine and the powerful Swampert made their dazzling appearance!

"It's these two! Then my choice is... Infernape and Poipole!" Ash quickly confirmed his partners. As the Poké Ball landed, the lively Monkey and the purple baby Pokémon entered the arena at the same time!

“These two…” Hills couldn’t help but become interested.

He didn't think Ash was looking down on him. On the contrary, if Ash sent out a partner whose strength wasn't particularly strong, it meant that Ash wanted to test his personal skills as a trainer!

"Great, this is the kind of battle I've been waiting for!" Having figured out the key, Hills excitedly launched an attack, "Go, Arcanine, use Extreme Speed!"

boom!

With a powerful start, Arcanine, like a sharp sword released from a bow, instantly rushed into Ash's half of the field.

"Fire Monkey, protect! Poison Baby, highly poisonous!"

Arcanine, with its Extreme Speed ​​activated, was incredibly fast, but Infernape reacted even faster, setting up its Protect mode and easily deflecting the Extreme Speed's impact.

After that, Infernape quickly moved aside to make way for Baby's venom!
