Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

"So, the bed is still the most comfortable!"

"Pickup!"

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

After advancing to the Superball, it will take some time to find a worthy opponent.

Moreover, the other party may not necessarily be in your city.

So Ash has been training intensively during this period.

"Eight Masters Challenge: Cibana vs. Champion Dante"

A message popped up.

With just one glance, Xiao Zhi perked up.

"What?! It'll be another half month before we can see Mr. Dan's next battle."

Ash, who had been excited, immediately deflated.

Half a month? That's too long!

Seeing that Satoshi was in low spirits, Haru, who was sketching the scene in the backyard of Sakuragi Lab on her drawing board, stood up and walked over.

"Ash, what's wrong?"

Xiaochun looked light and graceful, with four Pokémon following beside her.

Daruma baboon, startled deer, dream demon, and electric dog.

During this period, under Xiaozhi's careful (okay, okay) guidance.

Xiaochun also figured out the potential of her Pokémon.

It's not exactly outstanding; in terms of combat, it's practically useless.

Only the Dharma baboon could pass for it.

However, its strength also stemmed from living long enough and accumulating power in front of the ruins in the form of Bodhidharma.

Upon hearing Xiaochun's voice, Xiaozhi slowly raised his head.

"Mr. Dan's match won't be available for another two weeks!"

"Looks like you're bored, Ash?"

"Of course! Matching speed is too slow after the Great Ball." Ash sighed again as he said this.

at this time.

Dr. Sakuragi walked over with his two assistants.

"Ash, Chloe, you're both here?"

"Dad!" "Professor Sakuragi!"

"Xiaochun, didn't you tell me last time that you wanted to find a Pokémon with potential?"

"Could there be news?!" Xiaochun's eyes lit up immediately.

If she had a Pokémon with potential, the gap between her and Ash could be narrowed a little.

"Yes, that's right. My students in the Sinnoh region said that a Totem Pokémon has appeared in the Sinnoh Scenic Area. That's a Totem Pokémon. If you catch it, it will definitely be able to stand alone."

Dr. Sakuragi rubbed his face, reflecting on how he had been helping his daughter with this matter lately.

He was exhausted!

But there's nothing he can do; she's his only daughter, so he has no choice but to spoil her!

"A Totem Pokémon? Aren't those Pokémon only found in the Alola region?"

As a top student, Xiaochun immediately raised her own question.

After all, their textbooks only describe the Totem Pokémon in the Alola region.

"It seems that even though Xiaochun chose to become a trainer, she hasn't neglected her studies."

Dr. Sakuragi first gave his daughter an approving look.

He then began to explain.

"Totem Pokémon, as the name suggests, can only be called Totem Pokémon if they come into contact with the aura of a Totem Pokémon."

The dominant Pokémon of the Alola region are unique; they possess a size far exceeding that of their counterparts and can only fight their own kind.

.......

Chapter 89: The bait to lure Kyogre!

"Totem Pokémon can command other Pokémon of the same species, all thanks to their Totem Aura. Once the Totem Aura is lost, these Totem Pokémon become no different from ordinary Pokémon."

“Dad, what you’re saying is no different from what’s in the textbook.”

"Don't rush, the important part is coming up next." Sakuragi cleared his throat.

"It wasn't until Alola joined the League that we gradually learned about the concept of Totem Pokémon..."

"Although there is no dominant aura in other regions, there are always some special individuals in the Pokémon species who can grow to a level far exceeding their peers."

For this reason, we collectively refer to these Pokémon with sizes far exceeding those of their counterparts as Totem Pokémon.

Of course, the more rigorous academic term is "Special Totem Pokémon," used to distinguish them from the Alola region's totem Pokémon, the Mints.

"Oh, I get it!"

After listening to Professor Sakuragi's explanation, Ash's left fist hung down over his right palm.

If you look closely, you can even see the light bulb shining above Ash's head.

"In other words, the overlords protecting the dream in other places are simply enormous in size!"

"bingo."

Professor Sakuragi agreed.

[Professor Oak: Did you see that? That's what professionalism looks like! Well done, Sakuragi, you truly are my student!]

[Lance: I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked. So, Pokémon with enormous sizes are called Totem Pokémon? Then what's Dynamax?!]

[Shiba: You don't understand. Pokémon that are bigger than regular Pokémon are Totem Pokémon, and Pokémon that are even bigger than Totem Pokémon are Extreme Pokémon.]

Shiba was smug, as expected, he was still able to easily outwit Ferry in terms of intelligence.

[Kona: You two should spend more time reading books.]

Professor Mulan: Let me explain. Dynamax is a phenomenon caused by the interaction between the Dynamax Generator and the Dynamax Band. Of course, Dynamax also exists in the wild in Galar. The phenomenon that causes Pokémon to grow larger due to the exposure of these Dynamax energies is called Dynamax.

Similar to Alola's dominant aura, Dynamax only works in Galar, and there's no connection between the two. The only similarity is that both increase size.

As for the situation you described, it refers to a regular Pokémon exceeding its size limits; aside from its size, it is no different from a regular Pokémon.

[Professor Kukui: Professor Mulan is right. Alola's Totem Pokémon revert to normal Pokémon once they leave their Totem Aura, while Pokémon that have exceeded their physical limits retain their original size regardless of their location.]

[Shiba: So, my Onix is ​​also a Totem Pokémon.]

[Kona: You only just realized this now?]

[Shiba: I thought all Onix could grow this big. It's just that mine is older and eats a lot that it grew so big (327).]

[Kona: 6!]

[Cynthia: If that's the case, then permanent Totem Pokémon are extremely rare. I reckon some people are getting restless after seeing this news.]

Hunter J trembled.

If she dares to utter a single word, the entire Sinnoh League will probably come knocking on her door immediately.

She's a poacher, but she's not stupid!

Furthermore, there was the recent cleanup of adventurers.

She saw it clearly.

Let's play it safe for now and wait until things calm down before catching a few Totem Pokémon to sell!

Hunter J: Plans in place!

……

In the picture—

After hearing rumors about the Totem Pokémon.

Xiaozhi also perked up.

In the Alola region, Ash challenged many Totem Pokémon during the Island Tour.

To his surprise, there were also dominant Pokémon in other regions!

"Is that so? Then let's get going!"

Ash, who had been feeling a bit listless, immediately perked up.

"I've already sent you the location and booked the hotel. Enjoy yourselves these next few days."

Seeing the two excited people, Dr. Sakuragi smiled and said.
