Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

"Hehe." Such straightforward words made Xiaozhi a little shy.

Ash is quite familiar with Ecruteak City.

The area where Ho-Oh was sighted is Bell Tower.

However, they had not yet reached the area where the bell tower was located.

Then I saw the Phoenix King flying in the sky.

Compared to the blurry photos, the photos from the scene shocked Xiaozhi even more!

No, you're serious!

This is too simple!

"Wow, it's Ho-Oh! But it looks kind of ugly," Xiaochun exclaimed.

"Sigh." Ash pointed to the fake Ho-Oh in the sky. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt."

"Pika~chu!"

Pikachu immediately leaped from Ash's shoulder, and a golden bolt of lightning struck its opponent directly in mid-air.

Then... Ho-Oh perished.

Xiaochun: "!"

Is Pikachu really that strong?!

[Tie Xuan: I'm dying of laughter! Xiao Chun's expression was hilarious, it had a kind of beauty in the face of collapsing faith!]

[Big Leaf: Ash! What are you doing?! This is Ho-Oh!]

[Denji: Come on, don't embarrass yourself. This isn't a Ho-Oh, it's clearly a Finch.]

[Big Leaf: What! Ho-Oh is actually the evolved form of Finch!]

Da Ye's face showed a look of horror. He, a fire-type Heavenly King, actually didn't know such a thing!

We need to hurry and catch a big-billed finch!

It will definitely evolve into Ho-Oh!

[Wusong: As expected of you, Daye! I acknowledge your intelligence!]

Wu Song, in the alliance office, adjusted his glasses.

Being ranked alongside Dai-yee as one of the Sinnoh Elite Four made him feel ashamed.

That's some serious intelligence!

I often find it difficult to fit in with you because I am too intelligent.

No wonder he was rejected when he invited Denji to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

It turns out that Denji was the smartest one!

……

In the picture—

After hitting Ho-Oh, Ash and Haru rushed to the spot where Ho-Oh had fallen.

The location happens to be the Bell Tower where the Phoenix King is said to reside in mythology!

Xiaochun was trembling the whole way.

In just a few days, she actually saw Ho-Oh and Lugia, two legendary Pokémon.

Moreover, Ash easily defeated Ho-Oh.

What should I do? Will Ho-Oh get angry?

Xiaochun's worries, however, did not come true.

Because they saw the "Phoenix King".

A Ho-Oh made of colored cardboard is lying on the ground.

"Cyndaquil? Finch?" Xiaochun exclaimed in surprise.

"As expected?" Ash wasn't surprised at all by this result.

Just then, a little boy ran out from the side and angrily questioned Ash about why he had done that.

However, his grandfather stopped him.

Grandpa scolded his grandson severely, saying things like Phoenix King doesn't exist.

A few words were enough to give the child a red fever.

"It exists, Ho-Oh really exists." Ash said as his grandfather turned to leave.

Ash recounted the scene of his encounter with Ho-Oh, saying that he had witnessed it firsthand.

Of course, Grandpa still didn't believe Xiaozhi's side of the story.

At this moment, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

The little boy named Chris also explained why he had his Pokémon impersonate Ho-Oh.

In his account, his grandfather had seen Ho-Oh and obtained a rainbow-colored feather.

From then on, his grandfather eagerly awaited the arrival of Ho-Oh.

Ho-Oh did not reappear until the iridescent feathers faded.

Xiaochun listened with tears in her eyes, while Xiaozhi remained silent. 9

Rainbow feathers, those reflect the purity of the soul. 3

You yourself don't believe in Ho-Oh's existence, so why should Ho-Oh respond to you? 9

The Rainbow Feather was probably given to you because you've guarded the Bell Tower for so many years. 6

Having learned everything, Ash stood up from the stairs of the Bell Tower. 4

He asked Chris, "Would you like to see Ho-Oh? I can help you!"

Then Chris was dumbfounded. 6

The viewers watching the live stream were stunned.

Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just look at Ho-Oh whenever you want?

[Little Gary: As expected of you, Ash! I'm waiting to see you get your comeuppance!]

[Lance: Indeed, Ash, you should be more cautious. Ho-Oh is an even more mysterious being than Lugia; getting Ho-Oh to appear is extremely difficult.]

Professor Oak: Stop, Ash. Even if you've seen Ho-Oh once, you can't keep seeing it, understand?

[Xiao Zhi: Hey, don't enforce the law across time and space! I didn't say that!]

[Grey: Don't yell! If you don't see Ho-Oh later, you'll just have to admit defeat.]

Baiyin Town.

Seeing this, Xiao Mao finally felt relieved.

I finally caught Ash!

I'm the winner now!

……

In the picture—

Chris sought out his grandfather, hoping to gain his trust one more time.

Unable to dissuade his grandson, the grandfather had no choice but to follow Ash and the others up the Bell Tower.

Before reaching the top of the tower, there was an unexpected incident: they encountered two Pokémon living inside the tower that tried to stop them.

However, Ash and Pikachu easily resolved this little incident, and Misdreavus and Stunninghamis were captured by Chloe, who was preparing to become a trainer.

The group climbed to the top of the tower.

The rain has just stopped.

"Do you have any way to make Ho-Oh appear?" Chris looked at Ash suspiciously.

In a moment of impulse, I actually believed his nonsense and asked my grandfather to climb the tower with me.

If Ho-Oh hadn't shown up, Grandpa would probably have been really disappointed.

However, Ash gave him a "look at my face" look.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ash pulled out a rainbow feather from his pocket, which was a size larger than the one Chris was holding.

The iridescent feather even revealed flickering flames.

"To be honest, I have a secret identity: I am recognized by Ho-Oh as the Rainbow Hero."

Xiao Zhi said very calmly.

[Cynthia: This is huge! They're both rainbow feathers, so why is Ash's rainbow feather so much bigger?]

[Xiao Mao: No, you really do have one!]
