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

In the battle at the Viridian Gym back then, Ash gathered the three Elite Four members, Agatha, Lorelei, and Sienna, to besiege Giovanni; Lance, on the other hand, acted alone and took the opportunity to raze Team Rocket's main base in Kanto.

That was certainly for the sake of the bigger picture, but looking back now, not being able to face Sakaki at his peak still makes him feel restless and eager.

I'm afraid there won't be another chance like this in the future...

"A showdown between the best? Ha..." Sakaki suddenly sneered disdainfully, his entire demeanor regaining its composure and domineering aura, sweeping away any trace of his previous dejection!

"How do you know there won't be another chance like this... And how can you be so sure that's my peak, Sakaki's peak?!"

call out!

The two Deoxys broke away from the battle in Speed ​​Mode, and then flanked Giovanni in Defense Mode, one on each side.

The remaining Team Rocket grunts and defense robots regrouped and formed a defensive formation around Giovanni, intending to hold out for the last time!

The alliance's forces also quickly converged, and they confronted Sakaki again on the narrow coast of the Cave of No Return.

However... someone will always lose their composure first.

boom!

A jet-black aura, like a raging fire, suddenly erupted, causing one of the Deoxys to sway slightly.

It was Galarian Moltres that made the move, but Giovanni's gaze remained fixed on the red-haired boy.

"Heh... I really don't know what he was thinking, sending a brat like you who's barely out of his mind to participate in the war." Although Sakaki's expression was disdainful, his tone also contained a barely perceptible sense of relief... and worry.

When he saw his son again, the boy had become a powerful trainer, and was accompanied by two legendary figures, Entei and Moltres.

Giovanni was pleased with Silver's growth, but he also knew that much of this power was given to him by Ash, which was why he was worried.

If you accept the power bestowed by Ash, you'll likely have to accept the trouble he causes... For example, right now, Silver has been dragged into this dangerous war!

"It has nothing to do with him, I came here of my own accord," Xiao Yin retorted coldly. "The reason I'm here is to settle things with you! And to prove that the path you've chosen is completely wrong!"

"To finish you off... with you?!" Sakaki suddenly glared, his astonishing aura causing even Silver to back away in fear.

"You're nothing but a brat! You talk a good game, but you're actually doing things that you despise... You team up with a bunch of weaklings to put on airs and think you're so powerful!"

"I..." Xiao Yin was speechless for a moment when her own father retorted with the same words he had once said.

"Sakaki, you don't have to treat him like this." Just as Gin was at a loss, Lance raised his hand to support his back, giving him support again.

"Xiao Yin stands here by his own will. He just wants to prove something... and gain some recognition."

"Oh, what does that have to do with me?" Sakaki deliberately acted indifferent.

This was the only thing he could do for Xiaoyin—to sever ties in this way.

After all, no matter how outstanding one's child is, once people find out their true identity...

"Sakaki, you'd better not ignore him!" Wataru suddenly spoke, his tone sounding like a warning, but in reality, he was making a promise.

"Silver is the future of the League. He has a clean background, is strong and ambitious... Most importantly, he is someone Ash values!" Lance assured him firmly. "One day, when Ash steps down from his position in the League, Silver will be his successor!"

"What...what did you say?!" Sakaki could hardly believe his ears.

The guy on the other side is his own son, with the same blood flowing through his veins. How could the Alliance let him take over as the highest commander?!

If he didn't know Xiao Yin's identity, that would be one thing, but Yu Longdu's statement that "his origins are innocent" already indicates that he knew everything all along, and even the higher-ups of the alliance might have known!

Even so, are they still willing to believe in this child...?

"I'm doing very well now... and I'm definitely stronger than you can imagine!" With the support of Yulongdu, Xiaoyin once again raised his head and puffed out his chest.

At this moment, he can finally face his father and express his whole heart to him.

“When I was most confused, it was Xiaozhi who woke me up… He knew my identity from the beginning, but he was still willing to lend a helping hand.”

“I will always remember that he taught me how to fight, introduced me to many different people... and made me realize for the first time that even someone like me can still gain the trust of others and be entrusted with their hopes!”

"So... the path Ash showed me was the right one! I've put in all my effort, standing here as a member of the League and Ash's partner, just to prove that to you!"

Silver clenched his fists and made a resolute declaration to Sakaki.

"We are not a collection of weaklings, but partners who can fight side by side! And I will continue to carry the expectations of Satoshi and everyone else, and keep moving forward until I become a strong person recognized by everyone!!"

"Little Silver...that's great, hahaha!" Sakaki was stunned for a moment, then suddenly started laughing wildly, his laughter filled with boundless joy.

After a long while, he calmed down and nodded slightly in the direction of the Imperial Dragon Ferry.

"Lance, I really have to say I admire you and Ash... Apart from you, I'm afraid there is no one else in the world with such strength and magnanimity."

Chapter 1070 Changpan!

During the days when they had never met, Sakaki had imagined many different versions of Gin.

They might be sinister and ruthless, or deeply resentful... but I never imagined they would be like this.

Such determination, such high spirits, and even the entire alliance placed such trust in them!

And all of this originated from Xiao Zhi.

He reversed Xiao Yin's fate, which was destined to be endlessly difficult... Even if he had ulterior motives, he ultimately gave his child the opportunity to grow up normally like his peers, and even generously gifted him the Legend.

Furthermore, a powerful figure like Yu Longdu would not stoop to lying, and he undoubtedly values ​​Xiao Yin highly!

As expected, only Ash is the real rival.

Only if he is strong enough and passionate enough, like a righteous and awe-inspiring king, is he worthy of being an enemy of such an extremely evil and ruthless hero as himself!

Influenced by him, the people of Yulongdu and the alliance gradually became more magnanimous and upright... Even if the two sides were absolute enemies, it would still feel very pleasant to associate with them.

Of course, despite his feelings, Giovanni never gave up on his ambition to be Ash's enemy.

It is precisely because of such a formidable opponent that he has been able to rise again and again, devoting all his efforts to carrying out his evil deeds!

"Kid, anyone can talk big... If you want to become a true strongman, you have to get past this first!" Sakaki first sneered at Silver, then turned to Dragon Ferry, his eyes already filled with a menacing sharpness!

"Ryuu Wataru, don't think you've got the victory in your grasp! With your current strength, you're not enough to crush me, Sakaki!!"

hum! !

The hidden remote control was activated, and a strange energy field suddenly appeared between the two Deoxys, forcibly merging the two space Pokémon into one!

boom!

A terrifying wind pressure swept across the entire beach, causing both the League and Team Rocket members to fall over, and even a host of legendary Pokémon were forced to retreat.

What appeared before everyone was a brand new Deoxys, its body more than twice the size of the original, and two cores, one green and one purple, were flashing on its chest!

"Ho...ho!" it roared softly, and suddenly flicked its hand to throw out a sharp psychic blade. Suicune in front of Misty leaped up to try to block it, but was knocked to the ground by the blow.

"Suiki!" Misty rushed forward anxiously to check, only to find that Suiki had a horrific wound on his chest, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured and unable to fight anymore!

Such a terrifying attack inevitably dampened the morale of the alliance.

"See? This is a fusion device developed based on the principle of 'three birds in one'," Giovanni explained proudly. "Now, even Mewtwo... um, Mewtwo?!"

Giovanni, who had been smugly sneering, suddenly turned to ecstatic joy... He discovered that he still had control over Mewtwo!

The opportunity was fleeting, and Sakaki had no time to hesitate. He immediately raised his hand and touched his forehead, and a piece of iron in his palm quickly expanded and transformed into a special helmet!

Consciousness transfer was initiated, gene control was activated, and the fused Deoxys's eyes instantly turned blood red... Mewtwo X also suddenly let out a crazy roar!

"Roar!!"

"Everyone retreat immediately!" Seeing the situation was bad, Lance immediately ordered everyone to retreat... but Deoxys spread his super-powerful superpowers throughout the entire area, binding everyone so they couldn't move!

This power is so strong that even Dark-type Pokémon cannot be immune to it.

At this moment, everyone could only watch helplessly as Mewtwo X approached with murderous intent...

"I really didn't expect Ash to make such a big oversight... but it's a pleasant surprise for me." Giovanni put his hands in his pockets, feeling confident of victory.

He always thought that Ash was a very clever opponent, and that the same trick could not succeed twice.

So when Giovanni exposed his control over Mewtwo on Niijima, he never thought it would still be effective.

He did retain the technology for gene control, but that was used to control Deoxys... When modifying the two guys, Giovanni also injected his own bloodline.

Perhaps because their original form is a virus, the fusion effect was even better than Mewtwo's, with both Deoxys obeying Giovanni's every word.

As a result, they even made a Mewtwo!

"Lance, you are the losers in this war. Blame Ash; it was his carelessness that allowed me to control Mewtwo, thus ruining the entire battle..."

"Who are you saying is being controlled?!" Sakaki was still smug when a deep voice suddenly came from behind him.

He stared at Mewtwo in disbelief; the other had actually regained consciousness!

“That is…” Soon, Sakaki discovered the problem.

A rainbow has been hanging over the island for a long time, shooting in from beyond the island.

So, it was Ho-Oh's power that helped Mewtwo break free from the control?

Giovanni found it incredible that the source of this control was Mewtwo's own genes, which could only be removed by the Sacred Flame; simply granting power would not eliminate it.

"Ho-Oh is just keeping me alert, so I can suppress my genetic instincts and make the right choices! Drink!"

With a furious roar, Mewtwo X suddenly charged towards the fused Deoxys, unleashing its full power to engage in a fierce stalemate with its opponent!

“Xiao Zhi did consider using the Sacred Flame to remove the alien genes from my body… but I gave up on that later. If I had done that, Xiao Zhi’s genes would have been removed as well, and my connection with him would have been severed. I couldn’t accept that outcome, and at the same time, I came to understand… even the Sacred Flame can’t distinguish between good and evil genes, so it’s just a simple bloodline.”

"This bloodline flows within me; it can only determine how I was born, but it cannot control what kind of being I choose to become!"
