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

After all, he had come here on his own, his mind filled with philosophical wrestling, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"No, that's not true. Mighty Crocodile, keep training."

He laughed heartily, completely unconcerned about such things.

Upon hearing the command, the powerful crocodile immediately went to a large wooden pillar in the center of the courtyard and began to practice pushing and shoving.

Ash glanced at the Feraligatr over there and became interested, so he immediately released the Blue Feraligatr.

"Look at Blue Crocodile, this is what your final evolution looks like."

The blue crocodile hasn't changed its habits from when it was a baby saw-crocodile; it happily started tap dancing as soon as it appeared.

"Oh, your Kroos is quite well-trained." As a trainer who had trained Kroos, Raiden could see that Ash's Kroos was no ordinary creature.

A typical Krookodile is only about 1.2 meters tall and weighs less than 30 kilograms, but Ash's Krookodile is a full 1.4 meters tall and weighs 60 kilograms.

He's a big guy with a lot of muscles.

Upon seeing the powerful crocodile, the blue crocodile immediately ran excitedly to its side and began to dance a joyful tap dance.

Unexpectedly, the blue crocodile suddenly began to emit a dazzling white light, and its body rose again in the light.

"evolution!"

Ash's Crocodile has already accumulated enough experience; it just lacks an opportunity to evolve.

But he didn't expect that it would be the crocodile showing the blue crocodile the evolution.

Soon, a ferocious blue crocodile appeared in front of Ash and his friends.

[Ding! Mighty Crocodile: Affection +2; Intimacy +2]

"Oh dah, oh dah!"

After evolving, Ash's Feraligatr became even larger, reaching a height of 2.6 meters.

Its excited roar drew an interested look from the mighty crocodile.

At this moment, the palm of the Thunder Crocodile struck the wooden stake, causing a sound as if the entire earth was trembling.

"This move is like an earthquake!"

"Haha, Ash, you're such an excellent trainer!"

Raiden was surprised that Ash recognized him so quickly.

"That's right, this is the prelude to unleashing an earthquake, but this is a residential area, so the Mighty Crocodile won't actually do it."

"The earthquake is a special move that I learned during sumo training with Mighty Crocodile, and I usually teach it to my students."

"Really? Then could you please ask Mr. Thunder to teach my Mighty Crocodile how to perform earthquakes?"

It turns out it's a self-taught skill. It seems that Thunder is one of those skill masters hidden in every nook and cranny of the Pokémon world.

Earthquake is a powerful Ground-type move with a wide range of applications, so Ash naturally wouldn't miss it.

"Of course, but I have a condition, Ash."

"I would like to invite you to bring your Mighty Crocodile to have sumo training with my Mighty Crocodile."

Unexpectedly, Raiden made such a request. Seeing Ash's confusion, Shonosuke helped explain.

"Ash, you guys actually came at a very good time. Tomorrow is the day of the Pokémon Sumo Tournament."

"The training that Thunder and his Mighty Crocodile were doing just now was to prepare for tomorrow's big competition."

"Excuse me, what is Pokémon sumo?"

"That's a competition where special moves like water guns and flames are prohibited; it's all about bare-handed combat."

Seeing his interest, Lei Dian happily explained it to him.

"Fighting each other bare-handed..." Ash often does this, and he doesn't even ban skills.

Although it was a bare-handed battle between him and his Pokémon.

"These restrictions allow for cooperation and interaction between Pokémon and trainers, creating a new and very interesting way to battle."

"Thunderbolt and Mighty Crocodile are considered to be the team most likely to win the championship this year."

"Ash, your Feraligatr looks incredibly strong, which is why I'd like to ask you to give my Feraligatr some special training."

The previous opponents were too weak for Raiden and Feraligatr, and Ash's appearance solved their immediate problem.

"Can the trainer participate?"

"Ah, trainer, I'm afraid this won't work."

Shonosuke was completely stumped by Satoshi's question and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away his cold sweat.

"It's a bit of a shame that the trainers can't participate, but it sounds interesting."

"Okay, I agree, but I also want to participate in tomorrow's competition."

Anyway, the airship won't arrive until at least the day after tomorrow, so there's nothing for Ash to do if he goes early.

Instead, why not participate in this kind of intense competition where real men's muscles and sweat collide and blend together?

Ash was starting to get excited about the sound of muscles colliding.

“Mr. Shonosuke, I would like to sign up for the competition.”

"We welcome all powerful Pokémon to participate, and registration is open at the Pokémon Center until noon today."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new mission, "The King of Wrestling in the Locker Room" (This is sumo wrestling, for crying out loud!): Use your powerful muscles to defeat all your opponents!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +4000; Attack +1; Stamina +1; Free Attribute Points +2]

Because Pokémon sumo tournaments require Pokémon to weigh at least 80 kilograms, Pikachu and its friends cannot participate.

"Since that's the case, let's not choose any other Pokémon. It'll be you, Feraligatr! Let's become real men in the locker room together!"

Although he didn't quite understand why a changing room was needed, Crocodile happily agreed out of trust in Ash.

Ash then immediately took Feraligatr and rushed to the Pokémon Center to register.

"Sigh, really."

Seeing Ash's enthusiasm, Misty could only go to town to replenish her supplies first.

Soon, while learning and battling against Raiden, it was time for the official match the next day.

Chapter 262 Serena: That person looks kind of familiar.

The sumo tournament venue is quite large.

All the contestants, all of them large and strong, gathered in the circular arena.

When Xiao Zhi enters his muscular mode, he becomes the most muscular of the group, and the surrounding contestants and audience are all amazed by his physique.

Hercules Town has always admired big, powerful people and Pokémon, and Ash and Feraligatr are a perfect match for them.

"Hey, you guys are not allowed to keep staring! Ash, you should put your shirt on too!"

Misty is possessive of her food, but Ash doesn't seem to mind.

"It's okay, Misty. It's only natural to be attracted to my strong and beautiful body!" Ash then led his Feraligatr and Pikachu in a few more bodybuilding poses, which drew cheers from the onlookers.

"Don't you care about those few drooling ones either?"

"What."

Upon hearing Xiaoxia's words, Xiaozhi quickly turned his head to look.

It turned out that four burly men who looked just like Dong Zhuo were staring at Xiao Zhi with the same eyes they would use to look at Lu Bu.

When they noticed that Ash had noticed them, they all gave each other a shy wink.

With their sharp eyes, frivolous smiles, and natural movements, it was immediately clear that they were Tiandao and Oga from the world of star-crossed lovers!

A chill ran down Xiaozhi's spine, and he quickly put on his shirt.

Soon, Xiaoxia had to return to the audience seats because Mr. Shonosuke had finally arrived on the central platform of the venue.

After displaying the prize—a token of the champion and a year's supply of Pokémon food—he officially announced the start of the competition.

"Fellow Pokémon sumo wrestlers, the annual tournament has begun! Fight with all your might, aiming for the Yokozuna rank!"

The contestants immediately arrived at their respective competition venues.

Ash's first opponent was a trainer who used Machamp.

"This match features Ash from Pallet Town versus Murasaki from Rikishi Town."

On a field marked with a white circular boundary, the referee, dressed in a costume resembling that of the ancient Chinese folks, introduced both sides and then raised a round fan to announce the start of the match.

"Wait a minute, what's the name of the guy over there?" Ash almost spat out the water he had just drunk when he heard his opponent's name.

It was only then that Xiaozhi noticed that the person opposite him was a muscular man with a black kimono, yellow-green hair, a face full of fat, and a big, thick body.

How dare you call yourself that?!

And how come the hair color and clothing match up?

"Hehe, new kid, don't think you can steal the spotlight just because you have slightly better-looking muscles."

"I am the legendary Murasame, the strongest blade in Rikishi Town! Last year, I even made it into the top four alongside Mighty. You'd better be defeated by me, lol!"

"Shut up! You're not allowed to use that name, and you're not allowed to have that verbal tic!"

The muscular giant, Murasame, exuded an aura of power the moment he appeared, but Ash could no longer tolerate his continued existence.

"Mighty Crocodile, unleash your full power with this palm strike!"

"Oh my god!"

The evolved Feraligatr received a significant boost in strength, especially after Ash used Ability Balm to change its ability to Hyper.

Feraligatr's Hidden Ability "Stun" increases the power of attacks with additional effects by 30%, but the downside is that these additional effects will no longer activate.

For example, the skill "Take It All" would normally render the target unable to escape, but its effect would be forcibly nullified.

However, the situation changes drastically when Ash combines the Life Orbs he previously obtained.

Ash gave the Life Orb to Gengar, but since Gengar now carries a Mega Stone, Ash gave the Life Orb to Feraligatr.

Pokémon that carries a Life Orb will have their moves increased by about 30%, but they will lose a lot of HP each time they hit an opponent with an attack.

Ironically, the forced side effect can just offset the side effect of losing physical strength from the Life Jade, so two negatives make a positive.

Qiangxing and Mingyu are a match made in heaven, but also a tragic couple!

Now, Crocodile's attack power has risen to an astonishing level. Its swift attacks are like a storm, leaving the opposing Mighty with no chance to fight back.

"This power is too strong!"

I've only ever seen this level of attack from last year's champion Pokémon. How come I encountered such a terrifying monster in the very first match this year?

With a swift burst of strength, the powerful crocodile escaped the white zone, easily securing victory in the first round.

The audience erupted in cheers, and even Shonosuke, sitting on the high platform, nodded repeatedly.

"Looks like a remarkable dark horse has emerged."

"Uh, this is impossible! I, the mighty one, have actually lost."

"He's so weak!"

He made boastful remarks before the match, but his super strength was quickly defeated by the crocodile, who knocked him to his knees and threw him away like trash. That shows where his power lies.

"Since I lost so badly, I admit defeat, and I accept it wholeheartedly. That's it."

"So, according to the tradition of Hercules Town, since you defeated me, I am yours. Please allow me to call you Dog Xiujin!"

"Get out of here!"

Xiao Zhi kicked away the muscular version of Cong Yu who was trying to hug him, and quickly moved away because he couldn't stand there any longer; it was too much of an eyesore.

The second match.

"The match between Iri from Luxtown and Ash shall begin!"

"My beloved father is still watching me. In his name, I absolutely cannot lose this battle!"
