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

Chapter 515 If you lose, you'll have to...

However, Bonney did not do anything outrageous as Ash had feared.

After everyone introduced themselves to her, she returned the greeting with elegant manners befitting an aristocrat, then turned and walked into the center.

"Wow, no wonder they are the Four Heavenly Kings, they have such an aura."

Every powerful trainer is someone that Victory admires. Bonnie is powerful yet elegant, which makes his eyes light up, and he even wants to imitate her every move.

Unfortunately, Xiaoyao interrupted him with a flick on the forehead.

"Please, Xiaosheng, this is lady's etiquette! What are you imitating?"

Then he watched Bonnie's departing figure and muttered to himself.

"Strange, I have a feeling something's wrong."

"Ash, did something happen between you and Bonney that you haven't told us?"

"How could that be? You're just too suspicious, Yao! Don't you trust me? I really just saved someone."

"You agree, right, Snow Child?"

"Yo-yo-yo!"

The simple-minded Snow Child immediately nodded, showing how cooperative he was with Ash.

After all, from its perspective, that's really how things are.

"Hehehe, you see."

Ash gently patted the top of Snow Child's pointed head.

It's no wonder Ash liked it so much and even added it to his team. It's indeed an obedient and good kid. From now on, you'll have a full meal every day.

Is that really the case?

May still glanced at Ash with suspicion.

However, Ash ultimately prevailed by using his overwhelming charm and teasing May by pressing his face against hers, making her blush and laugh it off.

The whole day passed peacefully, and I thought the matter was over.

But as expected, what was bound to happen that night did happen, and Ash and his friends were all called outside the center by Bonney.

Although he didn't know why she wanted to invite Ash and his friends, Ash did as she asked.

However, Xiaozhi had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, as soon as they opened the center's main gate, they were greeted by the beams of searchlights from several helicopters, which blinded Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng for a moment.

The surrounding noise was incessant, and the updrafts from the helicopter stirred up clouds of snow.

Bonnie stood imposingly on the head of an ice demon with two black horns on its head and its entire body made up of a large head.

Ice Ghost Guardian was able to float four meters above the ground, and Bonnie's exquisite body was positioned directly in front of a helicopter, appearing incredibly majestic under the searchlight.

"Seriously? Why all this fuss?"

Ash suspects that this Bonney might be a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur). (That's right.)

Xiaoyao was also taken aback by the scene before her. "Where did all these helicopters come from?"

Aside from Max thinking this scene was incredibly cool, May and Ash were both completely bewildered as Bonney swaggered around in mid-air.

"Bonnie, what exactly did you call us out for?"

She simply snorted coldly.

"Ash, I need your help with my training!" (Fog)

Well, the truth is...

"Ash, I challenge you!"

"challenge?"

"That's right, it's Pokémon battles."

"You can use 3 Pokémon, and the rules will be based on the Champion League's singles competition rules. How about that?"

"So that's why you called us out, and made such a big fuss about it—" Xiao Zhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, no problem!"

It's more accurate to say that Xiaozhi couldn't have gotten what he wanted.

If it weren't for what happened before, Ash, given his personality, would have already gone out of his way to harass Bonney and relentlessly beg for a battle after learning her true identity.

Of course, even if that happened, Ash would still relentlessly pester Bonney to ask for a battle.

It's just that the awkwardness will only make things take a day or two to calm down.

There's nothing we can do; that's just the kind of person he is.

He's a shameless, lecherous scumbag who absolutely loves battling. (Ash: "This is pure slander! I take full responsibility, okay?!")

Seeing that Ash agreed so readily, Bonnie stretched out her long index finger and made a shushing gesture.

"Wait a minute, my little boy, your sister hasn't finished speaking yet."

"A little boy?"

Xiao Zhi never expected that he would be called that one day.

Bonney was now fully conscious, a stark contrast to her previous stubbornness when she bit Ash in the cave.

She had a very mature and sophisticated air about her, and her words were ambiguous with a hint of flirtation as she continued.

"If it were just a regular battle, I wouldn't have called so many people and even let you bring your teammates along."

"Let's make a bet this time. If you lose, you'll marry into my family."

"Marry into the family?!" Xiao Zhi and his party were shocked, while Bonnie remained calm.

"That's right."

She nodded very seriously, her golden hair flying wildly in the strong wind, highlighting her innate nobility.

The little AI could tell that she wasn't joking.

"You're not going to pretend that what we did before never happened, are you? I'll never forget that—one, no, two hours!"

"Stop, stop, stop! I promise you, okay?!"

Bonnie blushed deeply when talking about that time, and Ash's expression also became unnatural.

But what's done is done, and a real man takes responsibility for his actions.

Ash wouldn't use excuses like, "I activated a special mode to save people and it had side effects," "Bonnie attacked first and I couldn't stop her," or "I was doing it all for the good of the people being rescued."

"But what if I win?"

"You won?"

Bonnie was stunned; she really hadn't considered what would happen if Ash won.

The current agreement to marry into the family through a battle is a brilliant idea she came up with after thinking about it for a whole day and night.

Bonnie then hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you win, then you'll marry me."

"Hey, wait a minute! Why does Ash insist on marrying you no matter if he wins or loses?"

Xiaoyao's lips twitched, and she took the first step forward, pointing at Bonnie with her fair finger and asking.

"This just doesn't make sense!"

Bonnie, however, didn't seem to care at all.

"What's the big deal? It's not like we're getting married right away. We're just getting engaged first."

"Even an engagement won't do!" Xiaoyao refused.

"Wait a minute, Miss Haruka."

Bonnie finally realized what was happening.

"This is my marriage to Ash. Who are you to him? Judging from your self-introduction, you two were just partners, right?"

"Ah, this—we are, we are—" Xiaoyao was speechless for a moment.

Currently, she and Ash are only travel companions, and she can only look at Ash with teary, aggrieved eyes.

But then Ash quietly pressed May's hand down and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, Haruka, I'm from Kanto. I can make a lifelong commitment many times over!"

"Oh, I see~" Xiaoyao was immediately relieved, but then she quickly realized what was going on.

"Why are you so relieved? Ash, are you really going to marry Bonney?"

"A lot has happened in between." Ash really couldn't firmly refuse.

Of course, the main reason is that Ash isn't so opposed to dating Bonney.

After all, the other party is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and is beautiful and has a great figure.

Of course, Ash isn't that kind of superficial person. He was moved by the other person's unwavering character and the bond between them and their Pokémon, which is why he was so touched!

(Note: Ash has never actually seen Bonney's Pokémon.)

"Perverted scumbag with no brains."

"You perverted scumbag!!!"

"Hey, you guys—"

Max was the first to notice Ash's flirtatious nature, but unexpectedly, May joined the bespectacled kid in calling Ash a pervert.

Such harsh words are truly damaging to one's mind and spirit.

At this point, Haruka was already a little sulky. She pulled Max aside and turned her face away, indicating that she didn't want to talk to Ash anymore today.

But Xiao Zhi teased her casually and she laughed again.

"Damn it, Ash!"

Ash could only shake his head helplessly. May would understand his good intentions later; he'd done all this for her own good. (Seriously!)

This is also a mistake on May's part, as she never experienced the bond and fusion with Ash.

Xiaoxia would never make a fuss about something like this now.

Under Ash's "mosaic" principle of equality for all beings, she is full of love and tolerance for every sister.

Of course, there's also the reason why Ash dotes on May's innocent and naive nature too much, not wanting her to face the challenges of climbing stairs too early.

"Has the final decision been made, Ash? If you agree, let's quickly sign the betting agreement in front of everyone."

Bar!"

At this point, Bonnie finally couldn't help but speak up again.

Although she has changed into brand new clothes, she is still wearing the same type of gorgeous but thin dress as before, so it is still quite cold if she stands in mid-air for too long.

What's more, there were several helicopters that she rarely used her family's influence to summon, circling around her. From her best spot to show off, the cold wind was constant.

"Hmph, I'm Bonnie, and to show my magnanimity, this little offense is utterly insignificant—it's so cold, ouch~"

Fortunately, Ash didn't keep her waiting too long and quickly agreed to Bonnie's request.

They agreed that each side would prepare for one night, and the official match would be held at the Pokémon Center's battle arena the next day.

Bonnie was responsible for preparing the snow removal and reinforcement of the site.

Bonnie was very satisfied with the result.

The people in the helicopters around her were her specially brought staff, and in any case, she would have a fiancé after tomorrow.

The reason Bonney made this bet with Ash wasn't just because something had happened between them that crossed the line between a normal man and a woman.

More importantly, Xiao Zhi is a very high-quality man in every aspect.

Even if Bonnie took such a top talent back to her family and showed it to her troublesome parents, they would absolutely find no fault with it.

Bonnie will finally no longer have to stay in Hoenn and not go home just to avoid blind dates.

"Xiao Zhi, let me make this clear first: I won't hold back. Your name will definitely be followed by my surname!"

As the only daughter of a noble family, this matter involved important issues such as titles, ancestral property, and fiefdoms, and she would never back down.

Xiao Zhi is the same; he's always the one marrying others, and he's never been married by a woman before. He won't back down on matters of dignity.

"I'll give it my all, so bring it on, Bonnie!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new epic quest, "The Third of the Hoenn Elite Four": Defeat Elite Four member Bonney in a spectacular fashion! (Do you intend to defeat the Hoenn Elite Four from back to front?)]

【奖励：联盟币+60000；特攻+5；特防+5；自由属性点+6；银色王冠+3；金色王冠+2：随机冰系宝可梦对战券+1】

Both sides prepared for the Ice Beam, and after one night, they had both chosen their Pokémon to fight.

After having breakfast early in the morning, everyone arrived at the battle arena, which had been hastily prepared. Ash and Bonney were both looking forward to the match with great enthusiasm.

Bonnie was still wearing a gorgeous dress, but unlike the previous two days, she wore a different style each time; she really had a lot of clothes.

"Ash, I traveled all the way to Hoenn to hone my Ice skills, but most of the trainers I encountered were weak and cowardly. You shouldn't be like that, right?"

"Haven't you experienced it all? How could I possibly be a coward?"

"Oh, wait a minute!"

At this moment, Bonnie, who was originally dignified, suddenly started stomping her feet like a child.

"They were just building up that feeling of being on top of the world, like when two masters clash. You need to give a more romantic answer. Try again!"

Why is it that she's so prone to being petty in this kind of situation?

Having no other choice, Xiao Zhi could only do as she said, reorganizing his thoughts and replying in more sophisticated language.

"This guy is really too much trouble."

Xiaoyao, who was watching from the sidelines, commented as such, but Xiaosheng seemed to have a different opinion.

"Sister, I think this might just be a little quirk unique to the Four Heavenly Kings."

"I get it now. To become a top Pokémon player, you need to have your own unique characteristics!"

"Look, characters like Ash, Steven, Wallace, and even Genji later on, and now Bonney, each of them has their own very distinct characteristics."

After hearing what Xiaosheng said, Xiaoyao suddenly realized that it seemed to make sense.

"So I've decided that I also want to make my personality stand out!"

"But I think your personality as a cocky, erudite brat with glasses is already quite distinct."

"That doesn't count!"

Ignoring the usual bickering siblings, Ash and Bonney finally began their battle under the referee's guidance.

Both sides took out and released the Pokémon they had prepared.

"I choose you, Blaziken!"

"Go, Dianthus sea lion!"
