Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master.

Chapter 373 President Zvoich

"Forest lizard, watch closely, we're about to take this."

Grove Lizard's Groveling ability is one of its biggest strengths, and Ash naturally trained him on how to effectively activate this ability.

For the Giant Tree to activate, the Forest Lizard's stamina needs to drop to less than half, which is not an easy task.

Because forest lizards are relatively fragile, if they fail to accurately assess the power of their opponent's skills, a single attack could not only reduce their stamina by half, but could also lead to immediate defeat.

However, after the forest lizard learns to see through things, its observation skills are significantly enhanced when facing attacks from opponents.

Ash often personally trains it, allowing the Grovyle to accurately judge the range of damage it can withstand under the loving iron fist.

The goal is to safely reduce one's stamina to below half during battle to trigger the Giant Tree Flood.

However, so far, the results of the special training can only be described as mediocre.

Forest lizards often accidentally use their "See Through" ability when facing attacks, thus avoiding any damage.

Therefore, if the opponent's attack power is not strong enough, the current Forest Lizard really has no way to properly trigger the Overgrowth ability.

At this moment, Aggron's Suicide Charge was powerful enough, and its clumsy and slow speed made it perfect for the Forest Lizard to perform.

The forest lizard's eyes were fixed on the figure of Bosscodora charging towards it like a giant beast.

Once it judged the right moment, it carefully retreated, guiding Bossadora little by little to crash into the surrounding boulders.

At the same time, he mentally estimated the extent to which the boulder that Bosscodora smashed reduced the power of the charge.

Suddenly, the forest lizard stopped, crossed its arms in front of its chest, and began to unleash its skill.

All of Bosscodora's movements were clearly detected by the Forest Lizard. Just as it was about to charge and hit Bosscodora, the Forest Lizard nimbly turned around and narrowly avoided the attack.

The goal is to only allow the aftershocks of the charge to affect oneself, without taking the full damage of the attack.

"Pooh?" Aggron felt that its attack seemed to hit and then missed, which was very strange.

The giant monster scratched its head blankly, still confused about the situation.

"Watch out, Aggron! A Forest Lizard is behind you!"

When Du Juan reminded him, the forest lizard immediately kicked out with its big foot, instantly knocking Bosscodora away.

At this moment, the forest lizard's entire body began to emit a rich green light, and the "Giant Tree Flourishing" event was successfully triggered.

"Phew, that was a close call!"

It must be said that Du Juan's Aggron is exceptionally well-trained. Its powerful physical attack, combined with her hard work in training, made that Sacrifice Charge attack incredibly powerful.

The environment that had been painstakingly altered using Rock Totem was completely flattened again by Aggron's Suicide Charge.

The forest lizard barely grazed the edge before its stamina was almost depleted.

If the Forest Lizard had been hit head-on by Aggron's charge, it would be dead.

Fortunately, the "Giant Trees Flourish" buff was successfully triggered, and the Forest Lizard immediately recovered a quarter of its health, while its physical attack power doubled.

"It's lush and green, but it looks a little different from what I saw in the textbook."

At this moment, the students from Kanaz Academy who were watching their teacher's battle from the stands all started whispering among themselves.

Seeing that Bosscodora's attack missed, Du Juan was not annoyed. She was also carefully observing the strange behavior of the forest lizard.

Seeing the dense green light on the forest lizard and the faint silhouette of a large tree behind it, Du Juan's solid academic foundation ultimately made her sigh in admiration.

Ash's Pokémon are truly unique.

"Aggron, use Tackle again! Since its Overgrow ability has been triggered, it means Grovyle's HP is definitely low. Let's finish it off!"

Du Juan's Bosscodora has the Hardhead ability, so its Sacrifice attack won't cause damage to itself. Therefore, she doesn't hesitate at all when she calls for Sacrifice attack.

"Forest Lizard, counterattack with Leaf Blades!"

"Chara!"

"Poho!"

The steel behemoth immediately turned its gun around, and its massive body once again roared toward the forest lizard like a truck.

This time, the forest lizard didn't dodge, but instead swung its grass-colored blades at the oncoming Bosscodora.

After a fierce clash, there was another huge explosion, this time blasting Aggron away.

The massive body made of steel and rock suddenly flew through the air like a kite with a broken string before crashing to the ground.

"Now's the time! Forest Lizard, leap onto Aggron and finish it off with Leaf Blade again!"

Using its powerful leg strength, the forest lizard leaped up and slammed into Bosscodora's belly.

He unleashed leaf blades with both arms simultaneously, slashing down cleanly and decisively.

"Aggron, unable to battle!"

[Ding! Forest Lizard: Affection +1; Intimacy +1]

"Aggron!" Du Juan exclaimed as she watched Aggron being defeated by a series of attacks.

"How could the forest lizard's power suddenly increase so much? Could it be because of its lush growth just now? ——————"

At this moment, the forest lizard casually retracted its leaf blades, picked up a twig from the ground, and carried it back up, striking a cool pose.

"Wow, that's amazing! No wonder it's a forest lizard; it easily defeated the incredibly strong Aggron!"

May, who was watching the battle, immediately applauded for Ash. At this moment, she thought that Ash's team had already won.

However, Xiao Sheng wasn't as optimistic as her.

"Yes, but it's achieved by relying on the attribute bonuses from lushness, which means the forest lizard's current stamina is really not good."

"If it gets attacked by Ms. Dujuan's Pokémon next, it'll probably have to exit the battle."

"Once the Grovyle is out of the game, Ash will only have Taillow and his newly acquired Bagon left."

"Neither of these two Pokémon can defeat Miss Dujuan."

At this moment, Du Juan also sent out her last Pokémon, her team's ace.

"Please, Da Chao baby!"

A Pokémon with a big red hat and a big red nose, looking like a stone sculpture of a human head, appeared on the battlefield.

Its body was covered with a large amount of iron sand, like a thick beard.

"Is this baby coming up?"

Ash had never seen this Pokémon before, and he and May instinctively took out their Pokédexs and scanned it together.

"The Pokémon Nosegate is actually Rock/Steel type, just like Aggron."

It has extremely high defense and magic resistance, but its speed is consistently slow.

When Aggron was defeated, Du Juan became a little anxious. She didn't expect that Ash could fight her so well with just the Pokémon he caught in the Hoenn region.

"Have I really neglected my main profession because I've become too engrossed in teaching?"

The thought of losing today and being bullied terribly by that scoundrel Ash is unbearable.

Du Juan immediately blushed and called out to Pokémon.

"Big Baby, get serious and use the power of the gems!"

"Get out of the way of the forest lizard!"

Although this large stone block moves very slowly, it can unleash skills at an incredibly fast speed.

Seven fossil-like stones floated rapidly in front of it without stopping, and immediately emitted several red energy waves.

The forest lizard narrowly escaped, but the spot where it had just stood was instantly blasted open by the power of the gem.

This move is quite powerful; if a forest lizard is accidentally hit, it will definitely be finished.

Although the forest lizard has an absolute advantage in speed and agility, no matter how agile it is, it will always get hit once under a concentrated attack.

Given the forest lizard's defense and stamina, the outcome would be decided once it was attacked by the Great North Bear.

"Big Brother Baby, use the power of the gems continuously!"

"Baby!"

As Du Juan's ace, Da Chao Bei Bi's strength is beyond doubt.

Several red beams of light swept over in succession, and the forest lizard could not find a chance to get close, so it could only jump and dodge continuously.

Finally, the Forest Lizard started panting, and an attack seemed about to hit it. At that moment, Ash immediately took out a Poké Ball to replace it.

"Come back, Forest Lizard. You're the one I choose next, Pride Swallow!"

"what?"

When Ash replaced Swellow, everyone present gasped in surprise.

Suddenly, the little swallow appeared on the field and took several beams of gem power for the forest lizard.

"What is the challenger trying to do? Rock-type moves are quite disadvantageous for Taillow, aren't they?"

Some trainees stood up when they saw Aogu Yan being targeted by the enemy.

Now, it's Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng who seem more composed, helplessly waving their hands at the students who are making a fuss over nothing.

"Don't worry, Ash must have his reasons for doing this. Let's just wait and see."

Sure enough, the Taillow, which had been bombarded by several gems in succession, flapped its wings and flew out of the dust of the explosion, hovering in mid-air like an unharmed Pokémon.

"Proud Swallow, this enemy is extremely powerful. I need your perseverance, so ignite your fighting spirit!"

Summon the power of the bugged Tsubame and make it an invincible wall for Ash!

After sensing Ash's emotions, Taillow responded firmly to him.

"Spar!"

"Hmph, Ash, I think you've really lost your mind, daring to send out Taillow to deal with my Nose Bastion."

Although Du Juan was surprised that Ao Gu Yan was unharmed after enduring the power of the gemstone, the injuries on Ao Gu Yan's body were undeniable.

In her opinion, Aogu Yan was definitely at her last gasp.

"Big Brother Baby, don't spread your power this time! Concentrate your energy on one point for an attack!"

"Big Brother Baby, use the power of the gems again!"

"Baby!"

After quickly gathering its strength, it was launched. This energy wave, which shone with a jewel-like brilliance, was incredibly powerful. It could leave a deep trench in the field just by passing through it.

But to everyone's surprise, instead of dodging, Aoguyan flew directly towards the power of the gem.

"Just like that, follow up with the Unyielding Swallow, then use Rapid Return!"

"Spa!!!"

Rapid Turnaround is a move that Ash taught Taillow using a previously acquired TM before challenging the Gym.

This move allows you to quickly return while dealing damage to your opponent, switching with a backup Pokémon.

The dazzling light waves that struck the proud swallow were highly effective, but they could not completely defeat it.

Bathed in a beautiful red light, the proud swallow quickly crashed into the big north nose, interrupting its attack.

Then Taillow transformed into a red light and returned to Ash's Poké Ball, summoning Grovyle onto the field.

"What?! The proud swallow can actually withstand the power of the gemstone from the Great North Bear?!" Du Juan's mouth was practically agape.

Even with similar levels, no Pokémon like Taillow could achieve this level of perseverance.

Ash's Taillow was not only not knocked down, but it was even able to activate U-turn and switch in Grovyle.

"this----"

Du Juan realized that Ash's Taillow wasn't just an ordinary Pokémon.

As soon as the forest lizard returned to the arena, it immediately adopted an offensive stance and charged forward rapidly.

"Good Forest Lizard, use Leaf Blade!"

Once the Overgrowth effect is triggered, it will not be refreshed when the Pokémon returns to its Poké Ball, so Grovyle's Leaf Blade remains powerful.

Taking advantage of the moment when the proud swallow had stunned it, the forest lizard quickly approached and slashed fiercely at the body of the big north nose with its leaf blades, sending the floating rock flying.

However, Da Chao Bei Bi's defenses are both quite excellent, and Du Juan has also focused on training it in this aspect.

The forest lizard caused considerable damage, but the Great North Rhinoceros still floated up again, wobbling.

"Big Head Baby, use Meteor Beam!"

"North, baby!"

Meteor Beam is a powerful move, just like Charge, but it's a Rock-type move.

Additionally, it requires charging up its special attack before it can be used to attack the opponent.

However, precisely because of its immense power, Du Juan believed that her Great Nose Ridge wouldn't be easily defeated by the Forest Lizard, so she planned to use this move directly to end the battle.

At this moment, Ash recalled the Grovyle.

"I'm entrusting it to you again, Aoguyan!"

"Spar!"

"Ah, Ash sent out Taillow again."

"Why? Aogu Yan was already quite injured before—"

"Rock-type moves are a huge disadvantage for Taillow, making them completely unusable as a defensive synergy!"

Seeing the dojo students discussing it, Xiao Sheng said that these people were still too inexperienced.

Ash's Taillow is no ordinary Taillow; the more effective the attack, the more excited it becomes.

Sure enough, when Aogu Yan appeared on the battlefield, Da Chao Bei Bi's meteor beam had already been fully charged.

An attack resembling a space-based orbital cannon appeared directly above the proud swallow, which was basically the most powerful attack ever launched by the Great Chaos Baby.

But after the explosive sound of energy pouring out, what came out was still the clear chirping of the proud swallow.

"Spar!"

Although the proud swallow was in a sorry state, it still stubbornly flapped its wings and flew in the air above the battlefield.

"How is this possible? I don't believe it!"

"Nothing is impossible, Dujuan! This is the bond between me and my Pokémon!"

"Proud Swallow, turn back at top speed!"

Almost a repeat of the previous scene, the proud swallow dragged its already injured body and crashed into the Great Northern Nose, and then the forest lizard reappeared on the battlefield.

"Leaf Blade!"

"Chara!"

The forest lizard rushed to the Great North's side again, and this time its leaf blade attack knocked it into the soil.

Thanks to the space-based orbital cannon that Da Chao Bei Bi just fired, which loosened the soil, it was able to sink so easily.

After this attack, Da Chao Bei Bi finally fell down.

"Big Baby, incapacitated!"

"Ash has emerged victorious in this gymnastics challenge!"

"Yay!" Ash exclaimed with delight.

His victory was actually quite close. He only dared to play this way because Dujuan always used low-speed Pokémon. Otherwise, if a high-speed opponent had seized the opportunity to attack, his Grovyle and Taillow would have been defeated.

After all, if they each take another hit, they will lose their ability to fight.

Fortunately, they won in the end.

Du Juan awkwardly approached Xiao Zhi and handed him the Rock Badge.

Xiao Zhi successfully won over a beautiful and model student!

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the gym battle arena, a middle-aged man who had slipped out of his company to slack off happened to be watching Ash's match with great interest.

"Haha, what an interesting young man, to be able to defeat our Du Juan Dojo Master like this."
