Pokémon: Ash the New Generation, Starting from Sinnoh

Seeing that the two were ready, Xiao Gang, as the referee, officially announced the start of the match.

"Queen Bee, Air Blade!"

"Fossil Pteranodon, Stone Attack!"

The two issued commands simultaneously, beginning the first round of their contest.

"Bang~"

Transparent blades collided with sharp rocks, creating a series of explosions.

However, perhaps because the fossil pterosaur was stronger, some pebbles could be vaguely seen flying towards the Queen Bee.

Although the number was small, A-Liu could roughly judge the strength of the fossil pterosaur from it.

"Fossil Pteranodon, charge forward with your Flame Fangs!"

Facing Aru's Queen Bee, Ash plans to adopt an aggressive strategy, directly confronting her head-on.

"Smooth Sailing + Swallow Return!"

Seeing the flames in the pterosaur's fangs, A-Liu calmly made a judgment.

First, increase the speed of the Queen Bee, then use Swallow Return to dodge the Aerodactyl's Flame Fang, and incidentally hit the Aerodactyl's back.

"Queen Bee, use your stinger!"

Seeing that the attack was effective, A-Liu prepared to have the Queen Bee continue her efforts, inducing the fossil pterosaur to enter a poisoned state, thereby increasing the chances of victory.

"Take off, then move at high speed!"

Despite the previous minor setback, it did not disrupt Ash's judgment.

Ash's Aerodactyl flapped its wings, instantly increasing its speed and dodging the poison needles with unparalleled speed.

"storm!"

Seeing that Ash was about to move away, Aru immediately had the Bee Queen unleash two powerful storms towards the Aerodactyl in the sky.

"Fossil Pteranodon, Storm Strike!"

Seeing that the storm had locked onto Aerodactyl, Ash knew he couldn't escape the Queen Bee's attack range, so he decided to confront it head-on.

bang bang~

With two sounds, both sides were simultaneously attacked by the other's storm, and both sides suffered considerable damage.

"Queen Bee, scatter poison darts!"

With the fossil pterosaur high in the sky, even the Queen Bee's attacks were not very effective.

Considering the team's profits, A-Liu instructed the queen bee to scatter poison darts to prepare for the arrival of her companions.

"Plummet vertically, unleash the ultimate impact!"

Ash ignored Aru's actions and launched a sudden attack when Aerodactyl reached a certain height.

"This is what they're planning..." A-Liu frowned as she looked at the height of the fossil pterosaur.

Ever since being hit head-on by the storm, the fossil pterosaur seems to have been rising along with that force, which is clearly abnormal.

"So that's it!"

A-Liu stared in astonishment at the ever-growing energy shockwave, and couldn't help but praise Xiao-Zhi's idea.

Not only did it withstand the Queen Bee's storm, but it also used the storm's power to ascend into the air and freefall to unleash its ultimate attack, thus enhancing the power of its skills.

The most important thing is...

Ah Liu looked hesitantly as a large orange ball of light, more than five meters in diameter, descended from the sky like a mountain, pressing down on the field below. He knew this attack would be difficult to dodge.

"Go for it, Queen Bee! Use the Destruction Ray to retaliate!"

Seeing that she could not dodge, the Queen Bee fired a dark purple energy beam that collided with the fossil pterosaur's ultimate impact.

Boom boom boom!

Before long, a series of deafening explosions rang out, and the entire site was shrouded in thick smoke.

As expected, the Queen Bee lost her ability to fight once the smoke cleared.

"...Thank you for your hard work, Queen Bee!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Ah Liu picked up the fallen queen bee and offered a comforting remark.

"Well done, fossil pterosaur!"

In contrast, Ash stroked the Aerodactyl's head to show his praise.

"roar~"

The Aerodactyl let out a happy growl before Ash returned it to its Poké Ball and replaced it with a second Poké Ball.

"Heracross, I'm counting on you!"

After the first battle, A-Liu's assessment of Ash's strength rose to another level, and he immediately decided to send out Heracross, which he had been focusing on training recently, as a sign of respect.

"Oh, the strongest among the Bug-types!"

Upon seeing the familiar creature, Ash smiled slightly and then dispatched the massive metal behemoth, Steelix.

"roar~"

Steelix roared, its crimson eyes fixed on Heracross.

"Hmm, it's actually Steelix!" A-Liu frowned.

Because it is steel-based, the poison shards that he had previously made the Queen Bee deploy were rendered ineffective.

"Fortunately, it's not as powerful as the fossil pterosaur!"

Sensing that the Steelix's imposing presence was slightly less than that of the Pteranodon, A-Liu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. A-Liu, don't underestimate Steelix's strength!" Ash couldn't help but kindly remind him, noticing A-Liu's expression.

Then, amidst the other's surprised expression, it shouted, "Respond to our bond, Steelix, Mega Evolve!"

As the dazzling seven-colored light faded, an even larger steel behemoth stood on the field.

After Mega Evolution, Steelix gains metallic floats around its neck, its body gains diamond-like crystalline material, and its crimson eyes turn blue.

"Is this Mega Steelix? It looks even bigger!" Hikari exclaimed, her mouth agape.

"..."

Xiao Gang didn't say anything, but you could tell from the expression on his face that he was quite satisfied with the appearance of the Mega Steelix.

"This is... Mega Evolution?"

A-Liu was puzzled by Steelix's further evolution.

After all, Dr. Blatano had not yet fully understood the evolution of Mega Evolution.

After a moment of surprise, A-Liu put the matter aside for the time being and prepared to face Xiao-Zhi's attack.

"Steel Serpent, Stone Attack!"

Looking at the Steelix that had just established a bond, he immediately began to give instructions, preparing for the second match.

"roar~"

After Mega Evolution, Steelix's aura reached a new level. This time, the rocks it summoned were not only sharper, but their number also increased by an order of magnitude.

"What?!" Looking at the densely packed rocks, A-Liu was shocked. "It actually improved so much after evolving!"

Despite being quite surprised, there was no time to think. A-Liu immediately had Heracross use Pin Missile to try and counter Steelix's attack.

Bang bang bang!

As the sounds of collisions rang out, the arena was once again shrouded in smoke.

Upon hearing this, A-Liu frowned once again, showing no joy whatsoever at being troubled by Steelix's attack.

Instead, he was inwardly marveling at the sheer power of Steelix after its second evolution. It was not only approaching Heracross's strength, but also showing signs of surpassing it.

Chapter 184 Pikachu Makes Another Appearance

God and Town

Inside the Mustard Orchid Research Institute, the blonde, mature woman Cynthia and her grandmother Mustard Orchid are sitting at a table organizing data.

"How's it going, Nana? Have you found any other clues about Red Sun?" Mustard Orchid asked.

Since Ash's reminder, Cynthia and her grandmother have been reviewing documents in an attempt to verify the identity of Sub-Sun.

It was only when we investigated that we discovered something was wrong with Chi Ri.

“Grandma, there’s nothing wrong with Chi Ri’s resume, but there’s a significant overlap between the time he donated money and the time the Galactic Team appeared. I suspect that the Galactic Team’s attack on God and Town this time was not a coincidence!”

Cynthia brushed her blonde hair back from her forehead, her expression serious.

Just as Xiaozhi predicted, there was something wrong with that scorching sun out of 15 out of 10.

"This needs to be thoroughly investigated!"

Jie Zilan's expression didn't look good upon hearing this.
