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

Chapter 436 They were joined together by mortise and tenon joints.

Seeing the referee wave the flag to announce Coal Turtle's departure, both Haruka and Victory couldn't help but feel a chill for Aysa.

However, the siblings could also see that Miss Asha was quite capable.

"But after all, he's facing Ash."

"Yeah, after all, we're facing Ash."

The gym battle uses three Pokémon, and now two of Asha's Pokémon have been defeated.

Everyone understands that Aysa is unlikely to win against Ash and Rayquaza's combination.

However, Aysa's volcanic passion was not overwhelmed by the huge difference in strength, and she still passionately pulled out her last Pokémon.

"Go, Arcanine! Use Play Rush!"

"Woof!!!"

Aysa has already sent out her strongest Pokémon. No matter the final result, she has given it her all, so she has no regrets.

Although Arcanine is not a legendary Pokémon, Arcanine of the same level is not slower than Rayquaza.

However, Ash's Rayquaza is clearly not an ordinary Rayquaza.

Although it likes to brag, it is indeed a level above the average Rayquaza.

Before the menacing Arcanine could pounce, Rayquaza had already taken to the skies.

Ash looked at the giant dragon soaring overhead through the dazzling sunlight and smiled slightly. "It's the last game anyway."

The energy within the triangular organs of the Liekong seat is incredibly abundant; it's time.

"Rayquaza, Mega Evolution, use Finishing Touch!"

The meteorites he had recently eaten revitalized his previously shriveled triangular organs, and Nigo's entire body, which was sitting idly, was immediately enveloped in light particles.

The light quickly faded, and Mega Rayquaza appeared in the sky.

All of its stats except for stamina surged simultaneously, and an unprecedentedly powerful finishing touch instantly struck Arcanine.

I have to say, the finishing touch is really satisfying to use. It has its own attribute, high power, and no charging or stun effects.

The attack, which swoops down from the sky at high speed to strike the opponent, is full of both momentum and power.

Aside from lowering your own defense and special defense by one level after using it, it's practically perfect.

A strong wind blew around the venue, and a huge roar resounded in everyone's ears, causing everyone to cover their ears immediately.

Only Ash stood calmly by the field, watching this scene with excitement.

Asha's Growlithe is also a good dog. Even when faced with such an attack, it tries its best to fight back because it doesn't want to disappoint its owner.

Unfortunately, it was ultimately overshadowed by the finishing touch of brilliance.

When everyone struggled to open their eyes, Arcanine was already lying on the field, leaving only a handsome, jet-black dragon writhing its body.

The referee took a long time to finally wave the flag.

"Arcanine is unable to battle. The winner of this Gym Challenge is challenger Ash!"

The referee immediately slipped away after the verdict was announced.

It seems that for a long time to come, he will not dare to work as a referee at the Fuyu Dojo again.

Seeing that the final result was out, Nigo sat there, burped, and returned to normal. He raised his head to signal to Ash, and then instantly turned into a puff of white smoke with a bang, returning to the meteorite in outer space.

This post-meal digestion was perfect, and it got a wonderful nap.

"That was amazing! Ash and Rayquaza were both incredible. When that final move, 'The Finishing Touch,' came, I almost stopped breathing!"

Although she lost, Asha took a deep breath, smiled, and adjusted her mindset.

She took out the Flame Badge and gently placed it in Ash's hand.

"Congratulations, the Flame Badge is yours now. Please take good care of it."

"Um."

By the time the Gym Battle ended, the sun was setting. Ash and his friends should have said goodbye to Aza and then gone back to town to find a hotel to stay in.

However, when they were at the door, Xiaoyao suddenly exclaimed in surprise when she saw the information on the navigator's screen.

"Oh dear, it's already this late, Xiaozhi, we can't book a hotel anymore."

"There should be plenty of hotels in town," Asha asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No, we want a hotel with sand baths and hot springs."

Ash and his friends rarely come to LavaCity, so they naturally want to experience all the local specialties, otherwise their trip would be in vain.

However, because we were delayed on the way, and I also helped Asha tidy up the arena when we challenged the gym, and the battle was unexpectedly long, it was already dusk.

And Xiaoyao, that scatterbrain, forgot again that she needed to book a hotel in advance.

Aysa chuckled at this.

"I thought something serious had happened. Well then, please stay at the dojo for the night."

"Our Kamehameha Dojo is a well-known dojo with complete facilities, including sand baths and luxurious hot springs."

She patted her ample chest with a flourish.

"I heard from Officer Jenny before that Ash and you guys helped stop Team Aqua and Team Magma's plot at Mt. Chimney."

""

"You also resolved the Rayquaza crisis. As the Gym Leader of LavaCity, I should be thanking you."

"What's more, you even helped me tidy up the venue—"

"Grandpa's disciples have all gone on vacation, and it's so lonely for me to be all alone in this big dojo. It's perfect that you're here with me," Asha said with a warm smile, inviting them over.

"Oh dear, wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

Ash was overjoyed to be able to enjoy the free hot spring facilities at the LavaCity Gym.

After making a few feigned refusals, he immediately changed the subject and agreed.

The way he strode inside showed absolutely no sign that he was embarrassed to trouble the other party.

As for the sand bath and hot spring, Haruka and Masaru naturally had no objections.

However, Aysa also enjoyed herself by hosting Ash and his friends, as she got to enjoy Ash's amazing cooking skills.

Normally, this girl's cooking skills are limited to making fried rice with eggs, so she was easily impressed by Xiaozhi.

[Ding! Aysa: Affection +2]

Not only that, Xiaozhi also helped her clean up the messy kitchen.

I also gently treated and checked the Pokémon that were going to battle today.

With his handsome face and eye-catching physique, Ash's work was as pleasing to the eye as a graceful dance. (He did it on purpose to show off in front of Aysa.)

That set of movements was fluid and graceful, showcasing the style of a Pokémon Master.

"That's disgusting, Ash! You don't usually work like this!"

"Shut up, you bespectacled brat! Aren't I the one who usually takes care of the Pokémon, does the laundry, and cooks for them?"

"It's definitely you." Xiao Sheng got goosebumps all over when he saw Xiao Zhi's pretentious elegant demeanor.

Normally, Ash is a super tough guy who will beat the cutting board until he "admits" his mistake if he can't cut vegetables properly.

However, Aysa always seems to enjoy Ash's deliberate attempts to trick her.

She looked at the capable Xiao Zhi with admiration.

"Ash, you're so reliable. I wish I could be as mature as you."

"Then I would definitely be an excellent gym leader who is no less than my grandfather."

[Ding! Aysa: Affection +2]

Upon hearing this, Ash immediately spun around to Aysa's side and took her little hand.

"It's nothing. Someone as beautiful as you, Miss Asha, will definitely be able to do it easily in the future."

"After all, you are so beautiful—"

"Ash————"

Aya blushed and lowered her head shyly, while Ash's eyes were fixed on her waist.

Ah, it's all because of that tiny waist that Xiaozhi is captivated.

"Hey, sister, are you really not going to do anything about Ash? He's acting like a peacock in front of Aysa right now."

He wasn't like his usual self at all.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao immediately looked up from the dazzling array of food and blinked her eyes in a slightly dazed manner.

"It's probably just your imagination, Ash. After all, Ash has always been a very charismatic person, so you've misunderstood."

"But none of that matters. Xiaosheng, aren't you going to eat? If not, I'll eat the rest of the food!"

After saying that, Xiaoyao continued to eat the delicious food in front of her. Xiaozhi also instantly appeared next to Xiaoyao, gently patted her back as she was eating impatiently, and brought her a new bowl of hot soup.

Xiaoyao's nutrient reserve bag is big enough, so she needs to replenish her nutrition more often.

"Eat slowly, there's plenty of food. Drink plenty of water so you don't choke."

"Yes."

"Is she raising hamsters?" Xiao Sheng no longer wanted to care about her sister's affairs.

After dinner, everyone was going to enjoy the famous hot springs of Fuyan Town.

However, before going to the hot springs, Ash and Pikachu first tried a sand bath together.

Covering your entire body in scorching sand, also heated by geothermal energy, feels like being in a sauna.

Ash is alright, but he really likes his Pokémon.

Especially Pikachu, the little mouse hums a happy song as soon as it buries itself in the sand.

Seeing how much fun they were having in the sand bath, Ash let them stay there.

He's all sweaty now and he's going to soak in the hot spring.

However, upon arriving at the hot spring inside the dojo, Ash glanced at the signs indicating men's bath, women's bath, and mixed bath, pondered for a moment, and then headed straight for the entrance to the mixed bath.

Xiaoyao and the others arrived early to soak in the hot springs, and they are currently in the men's and women's baths.

Ash, having just finished his sand bath, wanted to enjoy the entire hot spring all to himself.

"Anyway, this is a hot spring inside the dojo, so there are no outsiders. The mixed bath area is even bigger, and you can even swim in it."

After taking off all his clothes and tying a towel around his waist to cover his voles, Ash walked to the hot spring.

Then he met Aya's gaze, who was blushing.

"Ah! Ash, what are you doing here?"

"I was about to ask you, Asha, why didn't you go to the women's bath?"

Aya was about to shyly splash water on Ash to stop him from watching, but then she suddenly remembered that she should be more mature.

She immediately spread her arms out and rested them on the edge of the hot spring pool, pretending to be nonchalant and carefree, but in reality, her face was so red it was almost dripping with water.

"I thought you were guests, and that we should reserve the better quality hot spring for Haruka first, which is why we came to the mixed bath. Why are you here too—"

"That's quite a coincidence. I mainly came here because I like large hot spring pools."

Ash found it very amusing that Aya blushed and wanted to leave but had to pretend to be serious, so he stood by the hot spring and stared at her intently.

Asha froze, completely too afraid to get up.

However, Xiao Zhi didn't care. He tested the water temperature, threw off his towel, and walked straight into the hot spring.

Aysa quickly covered her eyes with her hands, but her fingers were too far apart and did not completely block her vision.

When she saw Xiaozhi's exaggerated physique, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

The two remained silent in the hot spring for a while, and Aya shyly moved away from Ash.

But then, Ash in the hot spring pool suddenly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and entered a state of rest.

His body, with its beautifully sculpted muscles resembling marble, began to float as the water rippled across the surface.

Aysa was immediately surprised. "The buoyancy of hot spring water isn't very strong, so how did Ash manage to float in it?"

She couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Zhi, what are you doing?"

"Asa, I'm trying to calm myself down—"

At this moment, Xiao Zhi seemed to have merged with the entire world, giving people a sense of mystery and awe at first glance.

The passionate girl Aysa, eager to become stronger, was naturally attracted by Ash's current appearance, and at this moment she was not shy at all.

"Perhaps this is the secret to Ash's strength!"

She clenched her little pink fist and, just like Ash, crossed her legs in the hot spring to regulate her breathing.

Then she was amazed to discover that she could actually float in the hot spring.

"Is maintaining inner peace really that helpful?"

The truth is—of course it was useless. No matter how calm your mind is, you can't change the physical laws of reality. Actually, Ash secretly used telekinesis.

Asha thought she was very talented and could learn it quickly.

She closed her eyes tightly, feeling the undulating waves on the water's surface.

Then, as she floated along, she suddenly felt as if she had bumped into a high wall.

She quickly opened her eyes and was shocked to find that she had floated into Ash's arms.

At this moment, they were completely open with each other, and such close contact made Asha's heart flutter.

The two were getting closer and closer when suddenly Aysha seemed to sense something.

"Ash—what's that?" (in a mosquito-like voice)

"What, what is it?" Ash feigned ignorance.

"That...that...what's underwater?"

"That? Actually, it's the reward for my usual good deeds, so it's that!"

Xiao Zhi continued to play dumb.

The two exchanged questions and answers, but their responses were completely nonsensical.

Aysa, soaking in the hot spring, was completely flushed and didn't know what to say.

Ash was actually answering Aysa very seriously.

Do one good deed a day, and you will accumulate great virtue.

At this scene, Xiao Zhi couldn't hold back any longer.

The fact that Aysa was able to float right into Ash's arms was all thanks to the muscular guy's mischief.

The two, who already had feelings for each other, found their bodies turning increasingly red as the hot springs improved blood circulation.

Two hearts close together...
