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

Chapter 384 Daily Life of Fish Frying

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have achieved a new achievement: "Fish, such a big fish~": Defeat 30 large Magikarp IVs!]

【获得奖励：联盟币+3000；攻击+2；特攻+2；自由属性点+2；乔伊牌大大大钙片+1】

"Not enough Pikachu! Go even faster, and shorten the time it takes for the electricity to build up on its tail!"

"Electric ball! Electric ball! Electric ball! — Bomb it hard!!"

After a morning where the fishing rod remained motionless, Ash decisively kicked it aside, then remained silent, simply urging Pikachu to throw a few more Electric Balls.

This is the second day of Ash and his friends' special training on Silvermoon Beach.

Early in the morning, our kind-hearted, super-invincible philanthropist Ash took his fishing rod, pulled Pikachu along, and went to the beach to release tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity.

He was afraid the fish in the sea would freeze, so he released these electric currents to make the fish feel warm all over!

Such a good deed would surely move even the Buddha to tears, and he would surely record a great merit for Xiao Zhi.

After all, in just this one morning, God had already rewarded Ash with four achievements.

Of course, Ash wasn't just venting his anger at the air force; his main goal was to help Pikachu practice its new move, Electric Ball.

Because Pikachu had just undergone a brand new evolution, Mega Pikachu Y, Ash planned to focus more on improving Pikachu's Special Attack.

Pikachu's best moves, Iron Tail and Volt Tackle, are both physical attacks, so Ash plans to have Pikachu master more special attack moves.

Electric Ball is a perfect fit. This skill is not only a special attack, but its power increases the faster the user's speed is compared to the opponent's.

It can be said to be a skill that is quite suitable for Pikachu.

Perhaps because Pikachu had already learned Iron Tail, a move primarily used with its tail, and with Ash's guidance, it quickly mastered the technique of gathering an electric ball on its tail.

However, this skill is still in the refinement stage and requires more practice to unleash its full power.

However, this will be tough on the Pokémon in the sea, as Ash will have to dig more nests—no, more food—to make things difficult for them.

"Ugh, really, Ash and the others are making such a racket so early in the morning."

"You woke everyone up—"

"It's because you're so lazy, sis! You're only just waking up at this hour!"

While Ash and Pikachu were enthusiastically training each other to use Electric Fish, our shameful May finally got up from her warm bed to wash up.

Today was Xiaosheng's turn to wash the dishes. Xiaoyao hadn't woken up yet, so breakfast had to be saved for her.

This prevented Xiao Sheng from finishing washing the dishes quickly, so he had some complaints about his sister.

"Speaking of which, sister, look at how strong Ash is, he still trains non-stop every day. What about your special training?"

Shojin reveals his muscular arms, which seem out of place for his age, as he washes the dishes while giving Haruka a suspicious look as she stuffs the delicious breakfast that Ash made into her mouth.

"Stop just talking the talk; you'll make a fool of yourself at the Grand Contest, won't you?"

"Cough cough cough————" Xiaoyao patted her chest and swallowed all the food in her mouth, then stood up unconvinced.

"How could that be? Of course I've been working hard!"

"Hmph, I'll show you then."

May went out of her way to bring Ash and Pikachu together.

The beautiful girl is about to begin her performance.

She took out her two Poké Balls.

"Ultimately, isn't the Pokémon Contest all about comparing the beauty and coolness of Pokémon?"

"Especially when the Pokémon has just come out of the Poké Ball, this is a crucial scoring point in the first review."

"Therefore, I'm currently practicing a stylish entrance—"

After saying that, Xiaoyao took the two Poké Balls and spun around gracefully like a swan, then threw them.

"Look, everyone, come up on stage! Torchicks, Wurmworms!"

After being released while being spun around, the two little creatures immediately looked around curiously. The most energetic Torchic was the first to run off on its own, while the Slug stretched and then did nothing more.

"What's this?" Ash and Max asked simultaneously, making May extremely embarrassed.

"No, no!" She quickly picked up the two Pokémon and turned their little faces to face her with a serious expression.

"Turkey, Wurmple, didn't I tell you yesterday that when these come out, you should circle around once, and then whoosh—"

May stomped her feet on the ground, cutely demonstrating her moves to the Pokémon.

The two Pokémon immediately started spinning around like her, and this time they did it quite well.

Overall, it was still not impressive; the Torchic even knocked over a nearby Stingray while spinning around.

Xiaoyao is a little embarrassed now.

"Haha, it's not perfect yet, we're still practicing."

"So you still need to keep working hard." Xiao Sheng had already guessed that her older sister was unreliable.

"And sister, I won't comment on the creative aspects."

"But you should know that you can't send two Pokémon at a time in the Hoenn League's Grand Contest, right?"

"Oh, is that so?"

Unfortunately, May didn't know that she really had the same style as Ash when he first came out to challenge the gyms, and even their tendency to make amends was very similar.

"Well—maybe it will come in handy someday."

Anyway, May was very satisfied with her idea, but then Ash spoke up.

"May, I think it wouldn't be good for trainers to dance and show off during the first round of judging."

In Xiaoyao's demonstration just now, her excessively beautiful face completely attracted the attention of the viewers.

"I believe that even if the Pokémon successfully complete their performance according to your plan, Torchic and Wurmple, whose attention has been diverted, will not leave a deep impression on the judges."

"This won't pass the first round of review."

"Ah, even you say that, Ash."

"Please, big sister, the main character of the Pokémon Contest has to be a Pokémon!"

"Well----"

May was deeply hurt after being rejected by both Ash and Max.

"How could this happen? I even came up with the dance moves."

Seeing her like that, Xiaozhi felt he couldn't hurt the child's confidence any further, so he quickly signaled to Xiaosheng, who was still about to deliver the final blow, with his eyes.

"Xiaoyao, your dance moves just now were actually very beautiful, and the creativity was excellent."

"As long as it's adapted into a dance move that allows Pokémon to show their charm, that's fine."

"Really?"

"certainly!"

This is not a compliment from Xiaozhi.

After all, Haruka is known as the Hoenn Dancer, and her dancing is absolutely delightful to watch.

As soon as Ash praised her, May immediately perked up.

[Ding! Xiaoyao: Affection +2]

"Those dances were actually created based on our usual fighting style, with a touch of softness added."

For example, during Ash's "Overbearing Trainer's Forced Love, Where Can Wild Pokémon Escape?" scene, he unleashed a spinning kick—

Even the way the trainers dance together when they appear is because May's daily battles are all about the trainers and Pokémon performing heart-shaped combo moves.

So she instinctively felt that trainers and Pokémon should be on stage together during a performance!

Perhaps Haruka and Musashi have a lot in common.

After listening to May's explanation of her inspiration, Ash silently wiped away a cold sweat, realizing it was still his fault.

"Xiaoyao, this is a very good idea. You can continue to explore this path and see how it goes."

"Just remember, the main purpose of showing off Pokémon is always to do so."

While some regions may not mind having more screen time for trainers, the Hoenn region, the birthplace of Pokémon Contests, does not.

The grand competition here is more rigorous and more fundamentalist.
