Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"That's incredible! Defeating the opponent isn't enough, he also has to show off his skills!?"

"Alolan! Alolan! Alolan!"

The entire audience began to shout in unison.

A display of skill.

The blazing roaring tiger gently placed the mosquito coil swimmer on the ground, unable to rise again.

He stood up and clasped his hands in greeting to the audience around him.

The referee finally realized what was happening and raised his flag.

"Mosquito Coil Swimmer is incapacitated! Blazing Roaring Tiger wins!"

Ash sat back down in his seat, but his eyes were still shining.

"Kukui's strength is indeed formidable!"

He clenched his fist, his voice filled with amazement.

"No wonder the doctor personally acknowledged him as a man!"

118. Who is the true expert on the Z-Move?!

To be fair, the mosquito coil swimmer on the other side isn't weak either.

Ash, sitting in the audience, saw this very clearly.

Although, in his eyes, the speed of that tile-splitting wasn't particularly fast—

But the angle was extremely tricky.

If it were a regular Pokémon, it probably wouldn't even have time to react before being hit in a vital spot.

Unfortunately……

The opponent is no ordinary Pokémon.

Reaction speed, strength, combat skills—

No matter which aspect you compare, the Blazing Roaring Tiger is more than one level stronger.

Throughout the entire battle, Mosquito Coil Swimmer failed to mount a single decent counterattack.

We were completely dominated!

The battle is over.

The cheers from the stands gradually subsided, and the crowd dispersed contentedly, rushing to find seats to watch the next game.

Only Xiao Zhi remained seated, his eyes slightly closed and his brows furrowed.

Using his astonishing imagination, he mentally reenacted the battle that had just taken place—

Elbow strike!

A tackle!

Armbar!

The more Xiao Zhi deduced, the more excited he became, and even his fingertips trembled slightly.

Even if we include Dragonite—

Of all the Pokémon I've ever seen, Incineroar would probably easily rank in the top three!

He's a real tough nut to crack!

"Three people!"

Kukui gave another plug, then smiled and waved.

The Fiery Roaring Tiger followed behind him, its muscles still gleaming in the sunlight.

"Did you enjoy the match just now?"

"Shh~!"×2

"Pikachu~!"

Xiaogang, Xiaoxia, and Pikachu all made a shushing gesture.

Kukui was taken aback, and following their gaze, he noticed Ash's condition.

Seeing Ash covered in sweat, Kukui looked puzzled and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong with Ash...?"

Xiao Gang calmly explained.

"Xiao Zhi is reviewing the match."

"A debriefing?" Kukui was bewildered. "Shouldn't we be watching the recording? What's the point of just closing your eyes?"

Xiaoxia glanced at him sideways, her tone carrying a hint of composure from someone who had been through it all.

The Aloramen are so ignorant!

"You don't know that."

She paused.

"Any Pokémon that Ash has personally seen and observed in action a few times can be simulated into a vivid copy in his mind."

"Right now, Ash is practicing battles with that clone in his mind."

"However..." She glanced at Ash's furrowed brows and the beads of sweat on his forehead, "Judging from Ash's appearance, your Incineroar is truly extraordinary!"

"roar~"

The Blazing Roaring Tiger proudly puffed out its chest.

Yes.

When it comes to elbowing someone, I've never been convinced by anyone!

Even in the Alola region, I was only ever elbowed by a bear!

Kukui listened in stunned silence.

Wait, wait, wait—

Are all trainers in the Kanto region this hardcore?

He knew about post-game simulations, but wasn't that just about analyzing the battle and summarizing lessons learned?

What kind of crazy thing is it to completely simulate a battle in your mind?!

No wonder the Kanto region doesn't even have a battle system, yet it still managed to break into the top three in the regional strength rankings.

What kind of monsters are these?!

While he was lost in thought, Xiao Zhi, who had been pondering with his eyes closed, suddenly trembled and slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of melancholy still lingered in those eyes.

That won't work at all.

If he hadn't personally intervened in his mind to stop it at the last moment, his Pokémon would probably have been elbowed to the ends of the earth by Incineroar.

"Dr. Kukui!"

Upon seeing the man and the tiger, Ash jumped up from his seat.

He rushed towards the opponent in two strides.

"That's amazing! Absolutely amazing! Your Blazing Roaring Tiger is simply—"

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, his brow furrowing as he desperately searched his mind for the right words.

After searching in vain, he subconsciously looked at Teacher Gang beside him.

Xiao Gang spoke up leisurely from the side.

"Strong and powerful".

"Yes! Powerful! Very powerful!"

Xiao Zhi slapped his thigh and nodded repeatedly.

"His strength, reaction time, and technique are simply perfect!"

"Every detail is impeccable! How can a Pokémon be so cool!"

"roar~"

The Blazing Roaring Tiger was a little embarrassed by the barrage of straightforward praise. It raised its paw to scratch the back of its head, but couldn't help but smile.

Honestly, this was the first time someone had ever complimented him on his looks so directly.

"Doctor, how did you do that?! Can you teach me how to become stronger?!"

Ash stared intently at Kukui, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Get stronger?

There is nothing wrong with that.

You know, the reason I created the school in Alora was to pass on these experiences, right?

"Ugh...!"

He had barely opened his mouth, before he could utter his first complete word, when the Blazing Roaring Tiger shoved him aside with its rear end.

"Roar!"

I'm coming! I'm coming!

I know!

Incineroar started gesturing directly at Ash, roaring and making gestures at the same time.

He wanted to share all his training tips.

Ash and Pikachu each took out their notebooks and started writing and drawing.
