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

It left a phantom image of a tortoise shell in its original position, and its real body quickly detached itself.

This smooth skill transition is something Squirtle honed through daily practice with Ash, using their signature combo move, the Super Invincible Turtle Throw.

Like Mount Tai crashing down, the mosquito coil frog king landed heavily on the platform, shattering the small, circular platform.

"Mosquito King, keep pressing down like Mount Tai! Don't let Squirtle get away!" Misty shouted.

Poliwag has lost most of its stamina and can't withstand more than a few attacks from Squirtle. It needs to attack Squirtle quickly.

With its powerful leaping ability, Poliwag leaped out of the water and pounced on Squirtle again, this time with little chance of dodging.

"Squirtle, Rocket Headbutt!"

Then he decided not to hide anymore, and Ash also became interested in the power of Poliwag.

Squirtle's head collided violently with Poliwag's belly, creating a violent and unscientific explosion.

After the smoke cleared, both Pokémon fell to the ground from mid-air at the same time.

"Poliwrath and Squirtle are both unable to battle!"

"Well done, Poliwag!" Misty has finally achieved her goal of defeating one of Ash's Pokémon.

But Xiaoxia wouldn't give up on her next strategy at this point; she still wanted to try her best to achieve final victory.

After all, her goal is to become a Water-type Pokémon Master.

"Come on, Ash, this is my last one." Misty slapped Milotic, the strongest Pokémon she currently owned.

Ash sent out Xiong Er, which was also a sign of his respect for Xiaoxia.

The beautiful Milotic and the lazy, muscular bear appeared on the battlefield at the same time.

"Milotic, use Enchant Voice!"

Misty knows Ash's Urshifu very well.

Milotic was naturally prepared; it had already learned powerful Fairy-type moves that were effective against it.

The sonic attack, seemingly capable of materializing, rushed towards Xiong Er.

Xiong Er just covered his ears in pain and moved aside, still looking listless.

"Seriously, this guy is battling right now!" Ash shook his head helplessly.

Ash wasn't completely unprepared for Milotic's alluring charm; before the battle, he specifically had Xiong Er learn Thunder Punch.

They are truly a match made in heaven.

To motivate Xiong Er, Xiao Zhi took out a jar of honey and smashed it in front of Xiong Er.

"Oh?!" the muscular man exclaimed, feeling sorry for him.

"If you don't show some fighting spirit, all your other inventory will suffer the same fate!"

The devil's whisper caused Xiong Er's previously lazy expression to immediately turn serious, and it instantly mustered ten times its usual fighting spirit.

This match is a matter of life and death for it. (Seriously!)

Milotic, on the other hand, only wanted to fight with all its might, which led to a difference in fighting spirit.

Xiong Er sprinted across the battlefield, running on the water as if it were flat ground, his fists crackling with lightning as he charged forward against the sonic attacks from the other side.

In the end, Milotic was no match for Ursa and was defeated by its lightning punch.

"The ultimate winner of the Whirlpool Tournament is Ash Ketchum!"

As the commentator finished speaking, the entire stadium erupted in cheers.

In the sunset after the finals, all the contestants boarded small boats and arrived at the seaside of Red Rock Island, where Priest Maya presented Ash with his award.

She placed the mysterious water droplet around Ash's neck, and the Whirlpool Tournament officially came to an end.

After the awards ceremony, Ash and his friends went to the nearby mountains one last time to take a final look at the battlefield.

Xiaoxia performed very well in this competition, but unfortunately she still lost to Xiaozhi in the end.

"I will work even harder, and I will definitely be the champion of the Vortex Tournament three years from now!" Xiaoxia vowed.

"Hmm~, I believe you." Ash said, handing Misty two glowing stones.

"what is this?"

"This is your reward for all your hard work these past few days: a Mega Stone for Blastoise."

This was something Xiao Zhi had already bought from the system store. It was extremely expensive, and Xiao Zhi would never normally buy it unless it was a system reward.

However, even the notoriously stingy Ash gritted his teeth and bought it for Misty this time.

“I have seen all your efforts, and I have said that I will always keep an eye on you.”

As the sun set, Ash smiled gently.

"Is...is that so? Humph, I'm not happy at all!" Xiaoxia blushed and awkwardly accepted it.

Although the Whirlpool Tournament is over, Ash and his friends still have to go to Silver Rock Island again before they can leave the Whirlpool Islands for the sake of Whitey.

On the way to Silver Rock Island, Ash also asked White to dive down into the nearby waters from time to time to take a look.

They tried to find its mother, but unexpectedly, they soon didn't need to look anymore.

As soon as Ash and his friends arrived at the port of Silver Rock Island's largest city, they saw a silver-white figure slowly descending from the sky.

Its eyes gleamed red, and it wore a peculiar device around its neck.

At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds and a strong wind was howling.

Chapter 286 Fair-skinned "Married Woman" (Really!)

Silver Rock Island is the island in the Whirlpool Archipelago with the strongest atmosphere of faith in Lugia.

Even the island's most famous specialty is a variety of Lugia-themed merchandise made from the island's unique silver rock.

However, this very characteristic has led to a boom in tourism and mineral exports, making Silver Rock Island a very prosperous place.

Today, the island's inhabitants witnessed the legendary arrival of Lugia for the first time.

However, it seems a little different from what I imagined. Why is Lugia launching an attack with such a fierce expression?

The cyclone that fell from the sky was wreaking havoc on the city's buildings, forcing people to flee.

Ash and his friends, who had just arrived on the island, also saw a white figure on the distant horizon.

"It appeared amidst a storm... and it seemed to be constantly launching cyclone attacks."

"Is this Lugia?" Ash asked with a serious expression.

"That's Lugia!" Misty looked incredulously at the distant horizon where the figure was causing endless destruction.

Suddenly, Shiro jumped out of Ash's Poké Ball and started barking at the figure in the distance.

"It seems this is Lugia's mother, but why would Lugia's mother attack a human city?"

Ash has better eyesight and can clearly see the angry and fierce look on Lugia's face.

Lugia wouldn't normally do something like this; there must be some reason behind it.

Unfortunately, all the fleeing residents around him could do now was shout that the sea god's punishment had come, and Ash couldn't get any useful information from them at all.

However, having dealt with evil organizations so much, Xiaozhi could roughly guess what was going on.

Either Lugia was enraged by what the evil organization did, or he was directly controlled by members of the evil organization.

So who is responsible for this bad deed? Is it Team Rocket, or some evil figure that suddenly appears from some unknown corner?

"Let's hurry over there and find out what's going on!"

After calming Shiro down and putting it back into its Poké Ball, Ash immediately picked up Misty and Serena and flew over.

If Lugia's mother is indeed being controlled, then we must rescue her immediately.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Rescue the Fair-Skinned Housewife": Hurry up and rescue the poor housewife who is trapped in mind control! (Seriously!)]

【奖励：联盟币+6000；防御+3；特防+3；自由属性点+3；“牛头人之魂”等级+1】

"!?"

Where can I find a fair-skinned married woman?

Suddenly, Ash looked up and glanced at the white figure in the distance.

"Could it be Lugia's mother...?"

But then I thought, "Having a child means she most likely has a husband..."

"Hey!" Ash suddenly realized that Lugia's mother really is a married woman.

However, to be more accurate, she should be called a Pokémon wife...

"Oh dear, now is not the time to think about that. We need to hurry up and stop it from continuing to destroy the city."

————Self-regeneration————

Meanwhile, in the city, Officer Jenny of Silverrock Island was leading the Alliance personnel responsible for guarding the island to stop Lugia's atrocities.

On the rooftop, Miss Officer Jenny stood in front of Lugia's mother, her face full of confusion.

"Why did Lugia come to destroy our home? What did we do wrong to deserve such punishment?"

Unfortunately, Lugia's mother in front of her could only flash a violent red light in her eyes and was completely unable to answer Miss Officer Jenny's question.

Another cyclone attack was unleashed, destroying a house next to Officer Jenny.

Just then, Officer Jenny's Arcanine appeared and quickly brought her to the ground.

"Oh dear, it can still retain a bit of self-awareness, deliberately avoiding humans and attacking empty houses around it..."

"What a tenacious creature!" A strange voice suddenly rang out from a nearby house.

Dozens of organization members, dressed in black uniforms and who had been lying in ambush in the surrounding houses, suddenly appeared.

Taking advantage of the Lugia attack, people began to panic.

The group quickly released their Pokémon, surrounding the Silver Rock Island residents who hadn't yet escaped.

Strangely, all of these Pokémon had a red-glowing device on their heads, which seemed to be exactly the same as the device around Lugia's mother's neck.

Because the residents of Silver Rock Island are generally wealthy and have plenty of free time, many families keep multiple Pokémon.

This is also why the Black Organization has its eye on this place. When their hometown was suddenly struck by disaster, most of the people who owned Pokémon volunteered to stay and help other residents evacuate safely.

But unexpectedly, they were surrounded by bad guys.

A man and a woman, each leading their own Houndoom and Chthrun, laughed as they stepped forward from the crowd.

The green-haired man was holding a screen with a huge speaker on it, and the sound from earlier had come from this speaker.

On the screen was a red-haired, bald, mad scientist.

He sat smugly in the base control room, monitoring Lugia in the sky through a monitor.

They displayed the arrogance befitting members of an evil organization, brazenly approaching the surrounded people.

The mad scientist on the screen immediately burst into laughter.

"Congratulations to you lucky guys for having the opportunity to participate in my great experiment of creating a brand new endless energy source."

"Hurry up and hand over all your Pokémon to become nutrients for my experiments. This is for the future of humanity!"

"Are you kidding me?!" Becoming nourishment... something just doesn't sound right!
