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

"I shouldn't have asked that question." Seeing Uncle Gang's excited expression, Xiao Guang was even more speechless.

After completing their challenge at the Black Gold Gym, the group visited the museum before setting off again.

Their next destination is Garden Town, where Hikari plans to participate in the Grand Contest that will be held soon.

After that, they can travel to Eternia City to challenge Sinnoh's second gym.

During this journey, Hikaru also recruited 'new' companions.

The pure electric squirrel, Patchlitz, is still 'waiting' for Little Light on a plain.

This time, however, the more experienced girl easily won over the little squirrel with her battle and Baofen... The opponent even couldn't wait to score a goal.

"Yay, I've captured Patchlitz! No problem!"

"Pachirisu!!" After finishing the capture pose, Hikari released Pachirisu again... but the squirrel that released the ball again had a mischievous grin on its face and immediately used Electric Shot!

The crackling arcs of electricity continued to spread in all directions... but Patchlitz's wicked smile gradually froze on his face.

To its astonishment, Xiao Guang, who was holding his phone, was completely unaffected!

After careful examination, the little squirrel realized that there was a Pokémon with sharp edges hidden in Xiao Guang's phone, which used its superpowers to distort the electricity it emitted!

"Pachilitz, pranks like that are easy to spot, you know," Hikaru chuckled, holding the squirrel up to his face. "If you really want to play, you'd better put in some extra effort!"

"Chipa...pa!" The little squirrel seemed to have been inspired by a mysterious fighting spirit, declaring that it would continue to outwit and outmaneuver its trainer, determined to deliver a flash to her!

"Pretty good~" Xiao Zhi nodded approvingly upon seeing this.

Like Ash, Pachirisu has a nickname of 'devil', except that it is a white devil.

This was certainly a joke at the World Championships, but it also perfectly captured its personality... lively, mischievous, and sometimes even wicked, a veritable little devil.

Such a squirrel might give many trainers a headache... but once properly bred, it will give opponents an even bigger headache.

Compared to before, Xiao Guang is clearly more adept at handling things, knowing how to retain his unique personality while ensuring obedience.

In short, the cute and lively Patchlitz would be a great addition to Hikari's Contest team.

With it joining them, the group's future trip will become even more lively.

"Alright, let's continue." Xiao Guang had already packed up Patchlitz and called to his companions to keep going.

"Should we continue towards Yuanzhi Town?" Xiao Gang said.

“No…” Xiao Guang shook her head with a smile, “Let’s leave Sinnoh for now, we can go to Hoenn or Kanto… Doesn’t someone have something important to do soon? He was with me on the previous trip, now it’s my turn to accompany him.”

"Alright, let's go to Hoenn then!" Ash smiled and changed the itinerary accordingly.

After being silent for so long, it's time for him to make some noise.

Chapter 1193 Kanaz City, The Legendary Battle for the Giant Stone?

Hoenn West, Kanaz City.

In the past year or so, this high-tech metropolis has seen a series of major events.

First, Ash brought Higanbana to the door, and in front of Steven, Wallace, Bonney and other strong warriors, he defeated Devon and decisively sent Zuvuki Hibiscus to life imprisonment.

Many people believe this marks the official beginning of Hoenn's change of ownership, especially Ash's large following, who see this day as the starting point for Hoenn to set sail again.

But this ship, which had finally been restarted, was hit by storms again not long after it set sail.

The new captain, who had brought hope to everyone, disappeared without a trace for months.

Piracy began to run rampant in the waters outside Hoenn and up to the Oblibia region. The nearest city, Kanaz, suffered huge losses as a result, and more than half of the shipping routes had to be shut down.

Before the city could even escape the shadow of pirates, a sudden and earth-shattering event once again shocked everyone.

Groudon and Kyogre, who had been lying low since the Seven Islands campaign, have mysteriously reappeared, both piloting Primal Reversion and charging menacingly towards the coast of Rustboro City…

As always, they pointed their spearheads directly at Liuli City!

But this time, Hoenn lost their legendary champion who could have turned the tide...

The people of Kanazon City, and indeed the entire Hoenn region, can only pray in fear that the actions of the Sea and Land Gods will not drag Hoenn into another catastrophe!

As time went by, Groudon and Kyogre finally appeared on opposite sides of the sea.

...

"The people of Hoenn are quite cooperative with the emergency evacuation; hardly anyone has come out to watch."

On a corner of the coast of Kanaz City, a girl who had secretly arrived in Hoenn was marveling at the empty seawall.

The clash between the land and sea gods is always a major event, no matter how many times it happens.

In the girl's mind, there would definitely be some reckless guys eager to join in the fun.

After all, that's how it was portrayed in the 'previous paragraph'.

But the reaction of the people of Kanaz has greatly exceeded her expectations.

There were no idlers on the city's protective embankment; only police officers, search officers, and forest rangers, all with expressions of high alert, setting up a cordon to keep the city out of their way.

“After all, we’ve already been through a disaster, and Ash specifically instructed that disaster prevention plans should be included in the evaluation criteria for gym leaders.” The squinty-eyed young man next to the girl explained, “Miss Cuckoo of the Katana Gym is a very responsible and excellent gym leader. She does an impeccable job in this regard.”

As an outstanding student, Du Juan's execution ability is naturally not a problem.

In fact, if Xiaogang hadn't been the Kanto Heavenly King, he and Xiaoguang would definitely have been forced to enter the shelter, and they wouldn't be able to wander around the coastline under the guise of providing aid like they are now.

As for those who love to watch the drama unfold and reporters who risk their lives for news, they were all forbidden from approaching. In short, no one was allowed to cause trouble.

Please, this is a meeting between the gods of land and sea, it's extremely dangerous!

Do you really think it's like two monkeys in a zoo fighting over a hill, where anyone can just stand by and watch from behind their cages?

If things go wrong, these defenseless bystanders on the shore might end up just waiting to be the ones left to feast on.

"Du Juan..." Looking at the top student's headmaster, whose face was full of worry, not far away, Xiao Guang's eyes darted around. "Speaking of which, with her being so cooperative, could it be that she's secretly having an affair with someone?"

"You're overthinking it." Xiao Gang shook his head noncommittally. "The one who's really having an affair with him is actually the person behind the 'protagonist' who's appearing today."

Among the Hoenn gym leader, there are indeed some who have been rumored to be romantically involved with Ash, but it wasn't Cuckoo.

The reason why a rumor remains a rumor is because it is highly unlikely to become a reality.

After all, given Ash's incredibly honest nature, if he really had those feelings for a certain Flying Star Gym Leader, he would probably have made it official by now.

So instead of focusing on the azalea, Xiao Guang might as well gossip about something else.

"As for the protagonist... but, Shigeru... eh, it seems like he's fine~" Hikaru clearly understood the implication in Tsuyoshi's words, and after counting them, he couldn't help but show an expression of discovering a new continent.

All those like Fladari and Daigo have to step aside. The nominal protagonist of this incident is undoubtedly the ancient sea, land, and air forces of Hoenn.

As Ash's closest confidante, the girl knew perfectly well that each of the three was backed by a different person, and that their actions were all instructed in advance.

Behind Rayquaza is Cynthia, the girl of the meteor shower, who traded Mega Stones with Ash and is also Ash's acknowledged girlfriend.

Kyogre is backed by Blue, and her relationship with Ash goes without saying; she's definitely Ash's most important girlfriend.

Groudon is backed by Gary... Anyway, there are quite a few people who ship Ash and Gary, and if the situation requires, he could also be Ash's 'girlfriend';

According to Xiaoguang's understanding of a certain person, when making such a grand appearance, the rumored Pikachu will definitely be inseparable from him;

In addition, to maintain appearances, he will definitely be accompanied by a legendary Pokémon, most likely Latias or Lugia... in any case, she will be one of his legendary Pokémon girlfriends~

The legendary battle for the megalith?

That's completely wrong. This was clearly a large-scale offline meetup for Xiaozhi's girlfriends. The boulder was just a pretext for a fight.

On a brighter note, what if it escalates into a chaotic mess?

Once she realized this, the girl immediately perked up, wishing she could stand on tiptoe and gaze at the distant horizon.

"I have absolutely no idea what you're expecting." Brock shook his head speechlessly, then dispatched his three main fighters, Steelix, Tyranitar, and Rocksteady, to work together to reinforce the dike of Corsair City.

He promised Dujuan he'd genuinely help, so he couldn't let anyone find fault with him.

hum!

Just after Xiao Gang finished reinforcing the dam, a strange distortion appeared in the sky above the sea area of ​​Kanaz City!

The iridescent light seemed to come from another dimension, hanging high in the sky and shining continuously. Kyogre and Groudon both turned their gazes to that dazzling light, their eyes filled with an irrepressible longing.

That is the purest crystallization of natural energy, their greatest desire for hundreds of millions of years... Even though they no longer fight today, it is hard to hide their pursuit of this powerful energy.

"Groudon and Kyogre really did appear together..." At this moment, on a Devon Corporation transport plane over the area where the incident occurred, Daigo looked at the images transmitted back to him on the computer screen, his tone of emotion tinged with a hint of self-mockery.

It's truly unbelievable that the two sea and land gods, who once nearly destroyed Hoenn and severely injured both themselves and Metagross, are now willing to follow someone's orders and meet in a rare harmonious manner.

Having witnessed all of this, what choice will that representative make...?

"Charizard, go stop them!" Just as Daigo was deep in thought, the young man next to him, dressed in a Charizard X cosplay outfit, suddenly opened the hatch and sent his most precious partner into the battlefield!

Why the two sea and land gods didn't start fighting as soon as they met is not a question the young man should be concerned with.

The secret order given to him by Fladali was to protect the boulder from the hands of the Sea Gods, Daigo, and even Rayquaza, and he had to do it no matter what!

Because...this is to represent the pursuit of peace!
