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

"Sigh, didn't we agree to go to the Pokémon Center first, and then to the shopping mall in Azure Plaza?"

"Xiaoxia, what are you talking about? Shopping is nothing compared to battling! Right, Pikachu?"

"Pickup!"

"Ash is still the same as always." Serena smiled.

He was still the same boy she remembered, the one who did whatever he wanted and became completely absorbed in Pokémon.

Xiaoxia was also defeated by him and could only follow along, but she suddenly remembered something important.

"Speaking of which, Ash, do you know where the Azure Gym is?"

"Of course I don't know!" Ash said matter-of-factly.

"Oh dear, I didn't know you were running in such a hurry."

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a series of deep, panting sounds from a man and Haoli suddenly came from the beach beside the road.

The movements came one after the other, and the sounds rose and fell!

"This is……"

The crowd quickly ran to the roadside to watch.

It turned out to be just a burly middle-aged man, shirtless, having a simple fistfight with a hog on the beach. (What else could it be?)

The two exchanged blows, neither backing down.

Haoli's strong and powerful hand struck the man's arm with a startling sound, while the man opposite him retaliated by punching Haoli in the chest.

"What a charismatic person and Pokémon!" Serena was stunned, but Misty remained calm.

"Alright, Haoli, use Hell Roll next!"

The blue-skinned brute immediately lunged forward and grabbed the man, and the two of them began to roll passionately on the beach.

"Wow, that's amazing! That uncle actually took the hit of that powerful Pokémon move directly."

Serena, who was seeing this for the first time, gaped in astonishment: "So humans can actually fight Pokémon head-on?"

"Of course you can, there are even people who can completely dominate Pokémon."

Xiaoxia sees this scene every day and is used to it.

"Really?!" Serena was shocked again. Traveling really does allow you to see all sorts of strange and unusual things.

Ash became interested in seeing the older man and Machamp below.

"There are locals here, we can just ask them for directions to the dojo!"

This intense and passionate battle made Ash instantly like them.

"She's a Stand just like me!"

There are no bad people among those who love fighting, so Ash immediately jumped onto the beach.

"Hello, may I bother you for a moment?" As soon as Ash's voice came out, the uncle and Machamp immediately became alert.

They performed several backflips in succession, assuming a fighting stance.

"What an astonishing aura! Just getting close to you makes me tremble all over. Young man, you harbor a beast within you!"

"This guy over there is no simpleton."

He actually saw through Ash's hidden strength in his normal state in an instant, which made Ash look at him with new respect.

"Hello, I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and I'm the Pokémon Trainer who came here to challenge the Azure Gym."

Do you know where the dojo is located?

"Trains who come here to challenge..."

Upon hearing this, the uncle closed his eyes.

"Heh, come on! If you want to know, come and throw a punch at me and Haoli, and let me see your magnanimity."

"I will only answer the questions of the strong!"

"Are you sure?" Not everyone can withstand Ash's punch.

"Of course, your amazing aura makes my blood boil, and I really want to spar with you, right, Haoli!"

"Haoli!"

"Attack me and Haoli with all your might!"

This uncle's personality is quite similar to Xiao Zhi's, which makes Xiao Zhi admire him even more.

"Since you've said so, Uncle!" Xiao Zhi simply threw a punch.

Of course, he couldn't use his full strength, but his momentum was still considerable. The force of his punches blew up the sand on the shore, making it impossible for the old man to open his eyes.

"Wow, this amazing momentum! I feel like I'm seeing a Gyarados charging towards me!"

With a loud bang, Uncle and Machamp were sent flying by Ash's punch.

"Ash is amazing now!" Serena was once again amazed by Ash.

Although Ash's power was already beyond what a child should have when he was young, his power has now reached an exaggerated level.

"Then Xiaoxia, the person you mentioned who can completely overwhelm Pokémon..."

"That's right, it's Ash!"

At this moment, Xiaoxia and Serena also quickly came down and ran over to see if the uncle was alright.

Fortunately, the ground here was soft sand, so they did not suffer secondary injuries after falling.

"Uncle, are you alright?" Ash helped the uncle and Machamp up.

The uncle's stance was so sharp that Xiao Zhi lost control of his strength and used a little too much force.

"Wow, that was a powerful punch!"

The uncle who was helped up made a strange sound.

"Being able to experience such a move firsthand is truly moving, Goli!"

"Haoli!"

Haoli, who was standing to the side, also stood up and responded to the uncle with tears in his eyes. The two of them hugged each other and cried in an exaggerated way.

"Is this uncle really alright?"

This exaggerated scene left everyone speechless with embarrassment.

"Ash, you didn't damage his and Machamp's brains, did you?" Misty quickly whispered in Ash's ear.

"I don't think so..."

"Hey kid over there with Pikachu, your name is Ash, right?"

At this point, the man finally stopped crying and stood up.

"Yes."

"It's a nice name, though not as good as mine. If you want to challenge the Azure Gym, then follow along!"

For some reason, the middle-aged man immediately followed Machamp and ran away from Ash's sight.

Xiao Zhi and his friends were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Do I often encounter people like this while traveling?" Serena began to wonder about her future travels.

"It shouldn't be... often..." Xiaoxia replied without much confidence.

"This is really interesting. Okay, Xiaoxia and Serena, stop complaining and let's hurry up and catch up!"

After saying that, Ash immediately started running. Ash doesn't dislike hot-blooded guys like that.

"Eh~"

With no other option, Xiaoxia and Serena had to run away as well.

After a run, everyone finally followed Haoli to the front of a large courtyard.

"We're here so quickly!" Ash said, controlling his speed to keep up with Machamp.

He quickly followed it to the door, doing high knees and waiting for the people behind him to catch up; he hadn't run enough yet.

"Where is the speed? This is almost eight kilometers!" Xiaoxia, who has better stamina, followed closely behind.

Serena, who had just started following Ash today, stumbled along at the back.

Just now, when Xiaoxia was running, she deliberately slowed down to run alongside Serena, worried that she might lose her way.

"I can't go on, I'm so tired~ I can't run anymore." Serena finally reached her destination and immediately clutched her lower back, panting heavily.

Even though Serena, who is in the prime of her youth, usually trains with her mother, such a long eight-kilometer run was a bit too much for her.

"It's ridiculous that you're begging for mercy after just this level of running!"

"But it seems like you're the most outrageous one, Uncle," Xiaoxia said sarcastically without holding back.

Because the one running at the very back was an uncle who was so tired that he couldn't even stand up.

He looked like a seasoned martial arts expert on the beach, but it turns out he's not even as fast as Serena when it comes to running.

The uncle struggled to crawl to the edge of the gate and knelt down.

"But uncle, why did we run all the way here?"

Unable to bear seeing him like this, Xiao Zhi reluctantly helped him up.

"The reason is that..."

The middle-aged man, panting, struggled to raise his hand and point to the door.

Upon hearing the commotion outside, a group of students immediately ran out with their Pokémon to greet them.

"Welcome back, Teacher Si!"

"Okay, that's good. Has everyone practiced well?"

At this moment, Ah Si had already stood up, crossed his arms, and struck a composed pose.

It was completely unbelievable that this man had just been kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.

"Yes!" the trainees responded loudly in unison.

It was only then that Ash and his friends noticed that the words "Azure Gym" were written in large characters above the gate.

"So you were..."

"That's right, I am the leader of the Azure Dojo, the Johto Fighting King Asi!" The uncle immediately assumed a fighting stance.

"What? So Uncle Ah Si's surname is Wang?"

"He's the King of Fighters!"

That new light brown-haired girl is so rude!

However, Ash suddenly thought, "Speaking of which, this is the Azure Gym. I wonder if Bea, that little gray-haired girl, is still here."

"Okay, let's begin!"

"Hey~, start what?"

While Serena was completely bewildered, somehow, with a shout from Ah Si, Ash and his friends followed Ah Si's apprentices to the dining table in the gym.

Everyone started eating together enthusiastically.

Serena was still completely confused when a large bowl of rice that looked like mashed potatoes mixed with salad appeared in front of her.

"Eat big mouthfuls, eat to your heart's content, don't be shy!" Ah Si sat boldly in the main seat, picked up a large rice ladle, and added another large portion to everyone's rice bowl.

"That's how you get the physique and strength to battle Pokémon: eat well, move well, and then eat well!"

Seeing that everyone around her had already started eating enthusiastically, even Ash was eating without any hesitation, Serena could only helplessly pick up her spoon.
