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

Chapter 502 A Full-Figured, Elegant Girl

After Mega Evolution, Dragonite gains an extra layer of wing membrane on each of its shoulders and feet, and its wings on its back become smaller.

Just like in the Hakkarosaurus era, it grew new large white wings and beads on its head and tail.

And perhaps because of its evolution, Dragonite's original battle-ready face has returned to its usual goofy appearance.

Its large wings fluttered gently on its head, and its plump face was full of a gentle and kind smile.

Xiaoyao's heart fluttered at the sight. "Oh my, so cute!"

Although it had become cuter, Ash couldn't help but feel disappointed after checking the Mega Dragonite's stats.

"Since it's so cute, I was thinking it might have some kind of fairy attribute or something —"

"I didn't expect it to be a Dragon/Flying type, and even its ability is still the same as before its evolution, Multiscale."

Ash was so-so about Dragonite's Mega Evolution; its personality became more benevolent, and it couldn't even put on a battle face anymore.

Of course, the base stats have increased dramatically from 600 to 700, and the numerical increase is real.

However, the kind-hearted Super Dragonite will beat its opponent even harder in battle.

After evolving, Dragonite becomes kind-hearted and can't bear to see any Pokémon on the field get beaten up by it for too long.

"Is this the Super Dragonite?"

"This is the first time I've ever seen this."

"It's so lovable!"

Not only the sailors around him, but even Genji was quite surprised.

As one of the world's top dragon Pokémon trainers, this was also the first time he had ever witnessed a Dragonite's Mega Evolution.

"Interesting, the world really does offer new surprises every day."

Genji laughed excitedly; he laughed more in this battle than he had in the entire previous month combined.

"Salamander, unleash one more devastating charge at Dragonite!"

"roar!"

The crescent moon, hanging high in the sky, crashed down like a comet once again, and the Salamence's powerful attack arrived in an instant, just as it always has.

Any opponent who faces its attack head-on will be overwhelmed by its terrifying power and suffocate.

However, the Mega-evolved Dragonite still maintained its smile. It immediately spread its large white wings on its head to protect itself, and then...

The dragon's selfless attack was completely blocked.

But with a roar from Salamence, its exaggerated strength still managed to slam Dragonite back to the ground against its wings.

A violent explosion resounded across the area once again.

The shockwave spread rapidly in all directions, far exceeding the power of any of the previous shockwaves; Pikachu was almost blown away.

Soon, Salamence was the first to ride the airflow generated by the explosion, bursting out of the black mist and rising back into the sky.

Its expression was ferocious, and red lightning flashed across its nimble body from time to time, a sign of the backlash from its all-out charge.

This devastating charge was so powerful that it left Salamence in a bad state.

"Sorry, Salamence, it seems a bit risky."

Genji couldn't help but chuckle as he thought about how old he was and how impulsive he was by not adopting a more prudent tactic.

"But I haven't been this excited in a long time, I just couldn't contain myself."

He then immediately focused his sharp gaze back on the battlefield.

"Ash, the battle is over. As long as my Salamence's self-sacrifice hits, even your Dragonite will definitely fall!"

Genji wasn't exaggerating. Salamence's Suicide Charge attack had already dealt excessive damage; even Ash's Dragonite would usually be defeated by it.

But Ash showed no sign of panic, because he trusted his partner.

"Mr. Genji, that's not necessarily the case!"

"Oh?"

At this moment, the smoke on the battlefield slowly dissipated.

The Dragonite, enveloped in enormous wings, had a few specks of dust on its face, but remained unharmed.

Genji's eyes widened immediately.

"What? How is this possible?"

Sensing the remaining stamina of Dragonite, Ash didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately gave the order.

"Good job, Dragonite! Keep using Roost!"

"Oops!"

The large white wings on the top of Dragonite's head quickly enveloped its entire body again, and a gentle power instantly healed Dragonite's pain, restoring half of its strength in an instant.

That's right, this time Ash didn't choose to have Dragonite confront Genji's Salamence head-on, like Garchomp did.

Instead, it was thanks to the bond between itself and Dragonite, along with the effect of transmitting information through a bit of Aura, that Dragonite was able to successfully use Roost in the blink of an eye, supporting Salamence's desperate charge.

It's also thanks to the increased speed of Dragonite after Mega Evolution that it was able to use its speed against Salamence's onslaught.

Because Dragonite's stamina wasn't greatly depleted at the time, the Multiscale ability took effect again after it recovered from its roosting.

Salamence's full-force attack was reduced by half.

However, the damage was still explosive, and Dragonite almost couldn't withstand it.

After using Roost again, Dragonite's stamina recovered to about 60%.

However, due to the damage caused by the potent poison, Dragonite cannot stay in one place for long.

After the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, Dragonite took off again.

Genji, who had quickly figured out how Dragonite had withstood Salamence's self-sacrificing charge, spoke up once again.

"So, Pokémon can understand their trainer's thoughts and release their moves in perfect unison without even needing to speak the command? —"

"Ash, the bond between you and your Pokémon is truly touching." Genji felt that he had underestimated Ash before.

This young man might really be able to shoulder the future of the Pokémon League, just like the legends of the past!

However, Ash was unaware that Genji had already elevated him to the same level as those legendary figures in his mind, and he remained focused solely on the battle.

The situation has now reversed. Although Dragonite is poisoned, it is still in good physical condition. On the other hand, Salamence is exhausted after using Sacrifice twice.

This is the downside of self-sacrifice charge-type counter-damage skills.

The stronger a Pokémon's attack power, the greater the power of its special move, and the greater the backlash damage it will suffer.

If you can't defeat your opponent in one move after using it, then things will get complicated.

Racing against time, Ash naturally chose to press his advantage.

"Alright, Dragonite! Use Blizzard now!"

"Oops!"

Dragonite flew with a gentle smile on its face, then suddenly leaped up and approached Salamence.

Judging by its expression alone, Dragonite looks like a friendly friend going to play with its opponent, but when you look at the speed at which it gathers its ultimate move, it doesn't hesitate for a moment.

He's completely turned into a pervert who likes to kill with a smile! But Ash likes it.

"Dragonite, launch Blizzard!"

"Oops~!"

"So fast! It's too late to defend! Salamence, get out of the way!"

Salamence, like Dragonite, is a Dragon/Flying type Pokémon, and both possess a 4x weakness to Ice, a hallmark of the noble pseudo-legendary Dragon type.

Even though Blizzard isn't Dragonite's STAB move, it can still deal significant damage to Salamence when used.

Furthermore, after Mega Evolution, Dragonite's physical attack power is slightly weakened, but its special attack power is greatly enhanced, making it even more adept at using powerful special attack moves like Blizzard.

A blizzard of icy cold water erupted from Dragonite's mouth, engulfing Salamence's body.

But Genji's Salamence was, after all, a seasoned veteran, and it broke free quickly with a burst of power, escaping the blizzard's reach.

But it stumbled because a thin layer of ice had formed on the tips of its wings.

"Great! Now Mr. Genji's Salamence will definitely be affected; it won't be able to unleash its terrifying high speed!"

Xiao Sheng immediately said excitedly.

And indeed, this is true; Salamence's flight agility has become noticeably slower than before.

"This is an opportunity we can't miss! Dragonite, let's finish this battle quickly! Ice Punch!"

As a noble pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Dragonite has an incredibly deep move pool. Ice-type moves, which are almost non-existent in other Dragon-type Pokémon, appear in abundance on it.

In the blink of an eye, another move, the Frozen Punch, one of the "Farmer's Three Punches," came crashing down.

"Don't underestimate us, kid! This is the Wyvern's Reverse Scale!"

This was the final blow. Dragonite's multiscales were broken, and Salamence's stamina had reached its limit.

Neither side can withstand another blow from the other; now, whoever strikes first will win.

"Go, Dragonite! One last hit!"

"Salamander, we won't lose!"

"Oops!"

"roar!!!"

The two Pokémon in the sky moved simultaneously, rushing towards each other at lightning speed.

Salamence pushed all the stamina it could muster to the limit, and the ice on its wings shattered from the high-speed friction with the air. It then attacked Dragonite with its claws outstretched.

Dragonite, with a smile on its face, swung its large, chilling fist, which collided heavily with Salamence's claw.

The immense force brought an astonishing impact, causing the sails of the surrounding ships to flap loudly, and the people on the ground to fall over once again.

"Max, Pikachu!" May grabbed her unsteady companion, Max could only say in a daze.

"As expected, you can't watch a match of this caliber too closely. There's a reason why the stands in those big arenas are so far away."

Amidst the chaos, only Satoshi and Genji remained standing in their original positions.

The two men looked up at the same time, staring intently at the sky, waiting for the outcome of the battle.

After a brief stalemate, Ash's Dragonite finally gained the upper hand.

The thick muscles on its arms, like the gnarled roots of an old tree, bulged again, and its face still wore a gentle smile.

With a look of terror in the Salamence's eyes, it slowly pushed its claws back.

A chilling aura emanated from Dragonite's large, blue-glowing fist, instantly freezing Salamence's claws.

Then Dragonite's other strong arm lit up with blue light and punched Salamence in the chin, a move that was extremely effective.

The Salamence let out a miserable cry and flew backward, crashing heavily back to the ground.

"roar----"

Within the giant crater created by the collision, Salamence's Mega Evolution was deactivated, and it reverted to its original form.

"A Salamence!?" Genji exclaimed in surprise, but quickly smiled with relief.

"As a Pokémon Trainer, Ash, you certainly have the ability to get this far—I really look forward to your future."

""

At this moment, Liang Guang quickly ran forward to take a look, and then immediately raised the flag in his hand.

"Salamander is unable to battle. Ash wins this battle!"

Upon hearing this, Ash immediately ran excitedly towards the center of the field.

"Well done, Dragonite! I knew you could do it!"

"Oops!"

Dragonite instantly reverted to Mega Evolution and pounced over to hug Ash.

After the battle, as a reward for giving himself a good match, Genji generously treated Ash and his friends to a delicious and luxurious seafood feast.

Everything caught at sea is guaranteed to be fresh, as it's all caught by the crew themselves.

Xiao Zhi even had a fishing competition with Genji. He's now a fishing god and is full of confidence!

Then, he suffered a crushing defeat. All ten fish that Xiaozhi caught were not even as big as one of Mr. Genji's.

"Damn it, even though I can catch fish now, but... but—I'm so unwilling to accept this!!!"

"Alright, Satoshi, Mr. Genji treated us to such a sumptuous meal, so stop being so stubborn. Quickly release the little fish fry back into your bucket and come eat."

"Small fish fry!?"

The muscular man, huddled on the deck, heartbroken, was further humiliated by Haruka. With no other option, he channeled his grief and anger into a voracious appetite and devoured a meal.

Amidst laughter and cheers, the black and gold sailboat slowly departed from Green Ridge Harbor, heading towards Ash and his friends' next destination.

—Dragon's Pulse: "What did you say! Genji was defeated?"

The headquarters of the Hoenn region, located in the office on the top floor of the League Building.

At the tea table, Mikoli smiled and told this unbelievable story to a plump, elegant lady in a noblewoman's dress beside her.

Bonney, the third of the Hoenn Elite Four and one of the Ice Elite Four, was so startled that she almost dropped her teacup.

"There haven't been any Champion League matches lately, so Genji lost a battle against a trainer he just happened to meet? How is that possible!"

It's important to know that what Mikuri told her wasn't some roadside sparring match, but rather a three-on-three competition where Genji was defeated.

In Pokémon battles, the most formal battle rules are three-on-three or six-on-six all-out battles.

Even in league tournaments, these two rules are generally used.

Who defeated Genji?

Bonnie now wants to know who this amazing person is.

"You've heard of that person too, he's the famous Xiao Zhi."

Michael said this calmly; he had long known that Ash was no ordinary trainer.

"Isn't that amazing? Genji told me about it very happily this morning."

Bonnie was still quite surprised, after all, Genji was a well-established master.

Even when she used her all-ice-type team, she couldn't defeat his dragon-type Pokémon and could only be subordinate to him.

"Just which legendary Pokémon did that boy send out?"

"No, he didn't use a single legendary Pokémon."

"ah!?"

"I heard they used Dragonite, Garchomp, and Salamence."

"They actually used an all-Dragon lineup and defeated the Four Heavenly Kings head-on? That's truly amazing—"

Bonnie licked her full lips and gracefully put down her teacup; she was starting to take an interest in Ash.
