At this point, Torkoal was being used by Ash as a flamethrower, held in his arms.

But the giant turtle called out to Ash affectionately, indicating that he should feel free to command it.

Because of Ash's previous act of saving it, it now has a very good impression of Ash and doesn't resist at all.

"Come on~"

Not only that, it also felt very happy. The tortoise had never experienced such a high-speed journey before.

As the group continued their advance, the Steel-type Pokémon they had defeated finally finished their tattling and brought back the leader of Steel Valley.

Suddenly, the ground beneath Ash and his friends shook violently, as if a colossal creature was rapidly approaching them from underground.

Haruka almost lost her balance during the violent shaking, but thankfully Ash was there to support her.

At this moment, the enormous creature finally broke through the ground and revealed its true form.

It turned out to be an enormous, overlord-like Steelix.

It was fierce and robust, with a face alone larger than a small car.

As soon as the giant Steelix appeared, it immediately began to hiss menacingly at Ash and his friends.

"Ah, how scary!" Haruka quickly hid behind Ash.

However, what May didn't realize was that in Steelix's eyes, she was far more frightening than herself.

At this moment, the Steel Valley was filled with countless "corpses" of Steel-type Pokémon lying haphazardly, a scene that could only be described as extremely tragic.

Steelix felt that if it didn't show up soon, its minions would definitely be wiped out by the two human trainers in front of it.

They've almost run out of Pokémon; there are hardly any left standing.

This made Steelix hesitate to make any rash moves for a while after it roared.

But if it doesn't move, Ash won't wait.

With a wave of his hand, the muscular man unleashed a flurry of attacks from Torchic, Combusken, and Torkoal, who accurately knocked down the three remaining Skarmory minions beside Steelix.

This is undoubtedly a signal to start a war.

"Steelcore, your usual behavior is too domineering and has caused a lot of trouble for the people and Pokémon around you."

"So today I'm going to correct you, so be prepared!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Road Hero": Please defeat the ferocious Steel Serpent and restore the long-closed Steel Valley Passage!]

"Strong Chicken, it's your turn this time! Use the Double Kick!"

"Chapter!"

Chapter 440 Blaze Chicken

Two powerful blows came almost without pause, and Steelix's entire head was kicked into the mountainside by Combusken.

This happened so fast that Steelix couldn't react at all and was momentarily stunned.

"Hooray..."

However, Steelix is ​​also known for its high defense, and as the overlord of Steel Valley, it is naturally incredibly tough.

Moreover, its head was incredibly hard, and the reaction force made the strong chicken's entire foot go numb.

"The 'Hard Head' trait, is Strongch Chicken alright?"

"Chapter!" The strong chicken's eyes were still sharp, and it shook its legs to indicate that it was not seriously injured.

Steelix quickly regained its senses and immediately launched a counterattack against Combusken.

It first used its double-edged headbutt to quickly force the strong chicken back, and after creating distance, its huge tail slammed down like heavy hammers, instantly raising a sky full of rubble.

The attacks came relentlessly, accompanied by earth-shaking tremors. This giant Steelix truly lived up to its reputation as the overlord of Steel Valley; its strength was indeed formidable, making it worthy of a fight against Roborock.

However, the Mighty Chicken skillfully dodged all of its attacks.

"Ash's Combusken is so strong now," May said enviously, hugging her still adorable Torchic.

"I wish my Torchic could be this strong someday."

"That's impossible, sister. Ash's Combusken was already super strong when it was Torchic. It could even defeat Corphish despite its type disadvantage."

"Back then, your turkeys were kicked around like a football; the difference is huge."

"What? Can't I even fantasize?" Xiaoyao immediately punched Xiaosheng on the head in annoyance.

However, while May was teaching Max a lesson, Torchic looked up and gave a deep look to Combusken not far away.

"Squeaking..."

At this moment on the battlefield, Strongchicken and Steelix are still locked in combat, with Steelix temporarily gaining the upper hand due to its higher level and tougher body.

When it's far away from Mighty Chicken, it will use Steel Tail and Rock Slide to harass it.

If Combusken tries to get close, it immediately uses powerful moves like Suicide Slam and Double Headbutt to make it difficult for Combusken to get near.

Because of its hard head, neither of these moves has any side effects, and Steelix uses them like it's nothing, making it quite troublesome.

However, Ash's Combusken's ability is Speed ​​Up, so the longer the battle goes on, the faster it gets, and the more advantageous the battle becomes for it.

Thanks to its high speed, Merach kept dodging Steelix's attacks and didn't get hit by a single blow.

At this moment, Torchic and Torkoal also began to help, occasionally releasing a few jets of flame that would suddenly strike Steelix's body.

Although their attack power is not as strong as that of the Mighty Chicken, they are still able to cause considerable damage due to the type advantage.

But then the Mighty Chicken seemed a little unhappy, and it immediately turned its head and roared at the Torchlings.

Torchic and Torkoal tilted their heads in confusion, and Ash, as their trainer, immediately noticed.

"It seems that Mighty Chicken doesn't want others to interfere in its battles with powerful enemies, but this guy has indeed become more and more belligerent lately...maybe that opportunity is coming."

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi was overjoyed, and then immediately turned his attention back to the battlefield.

At this moment, Steelix, after its attack was dodged by Roborock, took the opportunity to bite down on the mountainside of Steel Valley next to it, tearing off a large piece of rock and swallowing it whole.

"Roar, roar..."

In an instant, its injuries miraculously healed, and at the same time, its aura seemed to rise to a whole new level.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi immediately reached out and scooped up a handful of soil from the ground, chuckling to himself.

"This giant steel snake is quite clever; it even knows how to take advantage of the terrain."

As its name suggests, Steel Valley is a place where the land contains a considerable amount of iron.

This is like a natural recovery potion for Steelix, greatly increasing its combat endurance.

The attack by Torchic and the others had successfully attracted Steelix's attention.

The pressure from the Mighty Chicken was so intense that Steelix wouldn't have even noticed them if it weren't for the previous attacks.

Once its strength was restored, the Steel Valley Overlord immediately flicked its tail, smashing a small hill beside it into a pile of rubble.

Then the pile of rubble hurtled towards Xiaoyao and the others at an incredibly fast speed.

"Is this a sharp stone attack?"

Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng couldn't dodge in time, and the sharp stone was about to hit their heads.

Fortunately, Ash ran in time to them and used his muscular chest to block all the rocks. (Ultraman's chest muscle pose)

【奖励:联盟币+5000;防御+5;特防+5;华丽度+6;星尘碎片+2(小星星在看着你哟~(oωo)?)】

Unexpectedly, May's legendary quest was completed at this time. Ash didn't pay much attention to it and immediately turned to May and the others to say something.

"May, it's too dangerous here. Besides, that Combusken is very warlike and has the pride of a Fire-type Pokémon. It doesn't like others interfering with its battles."

"You don't need to help anymore, just stand aside and watch."

Before May and the others could react, Ash had already quickly placed them on Torkoal's back and then tossed them forcefully to a safe area nearby.

"Tortoise and Torchic, I'm counting on you to protect May and the others!"

"Damn it!"

"Chima!"

Ash and Combusken wanted to have a one-on-one battle with their opponent, but Steelix didn't think so.

As Steelix launched a series of rapid attacks, it also used its calls to command its two Skarmory minions beside it.

They kept firing air blades to disrupt the opponent, trying to block the space for the Mighty Chicken to escape Steelix's attacks.

This really caused Combusken a lot of trouble, as it actually got hit by Steelix's steel tail.

This really annoyed Xiaozhi.

"As the king of field battles, I'm already doing this by not sending Pikachu and the others to join the brawl today, but I never expected that you, you stinky snake, would dare to gang up on me?"

"You're really giving me too much credit! Strongchicken Flame Kick, take care of those two Skarmory first!"

"Chapter!"

The two armored birds immediately realized the danger and hurriedly flew away to higher ground in an attempt to escape the strong chicken's angry attack.

But with their abilities, how could they possibly be a match for Ash's Super Muscle Chicken?

Using its waveguide sensor to seize the opportunity, the Mighty Chicken's sharp eyes quickly locked onto the optimal attack route connecting the two Skarmory and itself.

It instantly leaped into the air, using the Rider Kick that Ash had taught it, and passed right through the bodies of the two Skarmory.

It is highly effective and hits the nail on the head!

Flames instantly ignited on the armored birds' steel outer feathers, and the two steel-feathered birds were reduced to two lumps of charcoal as they crashed down.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

Seeing that its last two minions had fallen to the ground, Steelix immediately went into a rage.

Recklessly unleashing a powerful impact, the mighty chicken, which had barely landed and was not yet firmly planted, was instantly swallowed up by the enormous creature.

The spectators, including Xiaoyao, gasped in surprise.

However, after the loud noise and when the smoke cleared, the Mighty Chicken did not fall down.

At this moment, it simply stood upright, using its head to firmly support the heavy body of the giant steel snake.

It has to be said that with such perseverance, Steelix truly acknowledges Powerpuff's worth.

Now, Mighty Chicken's sharp eyes were filled with fighting spirit, making Steelix feel intimidated.

The greater the weight difference between Pokémon, the stronger the impact of a heavy slam. A regular Steelix weighs 20 times more than a Combusken.

The power of Steelix's Heavy Impact is naturally quite astonishing; even if it resists, the damage to Combusken is definitely not small.

The reason why the Mighty Chicken was able to stand up after taking this hit, after going through so many battles, is that it finally broke through its physical limits when it defeated the two Skarmory.

At this moment, Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up as he sensed something.

"Alright, it's finally here! Brompton, unleash all the power you've been holding back!"

"Chapter!"

Suddenly, a dazzling white light burst forth from the Mighty Chicken's body, and its size rapidly increased to more than twice its original size, even forcefully pushing aside the Steelix's body that was pressing down on it.

With its head feathers turning white and its bandaged claws and powerful legs bursting with intense flames, the Mighty Chicken has finally evolved into Blaziken.

"just!!!"

[Ding! Blaziken: Affection +5; Intimacy +5]

"Wow, that's so cool! Is that Blaziken?" May immediately took out her Pokédex and scanned Ash's Blaziken.

Blaziken, a fire-type Pokémon. Its strong waist and legs give it the jumping ability to leap over a 30-story building, and its Fire Punch can incinerate opponents.

She excitedly lifted the chick in her arms high so it could see it clearly.
