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

It seems these are the professor's Pokémon, which he sent to rescue Ash and his friends.

It was only then that Ash and his friends learned that Professor Elm had come to the Whirl Islands to conduct research on marine Pokémon.

They happened to see Ash and his friends during their exercise time, so they quickly sent out their Pokémon to rescue them.

Professor Elm was heading to the Whirl Islands, and Ash and his friends, since it was on their way, decided to hitch a ride.

Together, we follow Dr. Kongmu's research ship to Qingyan Island, the gateway island of the Whirlpool Islands.

The group went inside the ship to change their wet clothes, and Dr. Kongmu brought them hot tea and gave them an explanation.

"I see. Ash, you've already collected five badges in Johto. Time flies!"

After parting ways in Leaf Town, Ash's journey through the Johto region was already more than halfway over. Professor Elm took a sip of tea, then suddenly seemed to remember something and immediately got up.

"By the way, Ash, how's Blackie?"

"I heard from Mr. Oki that it had already hatched, but I haven't seen it yet."

"I really didn't know what would happen next. It's so great that they hatched successfully in the end. I wish I could study them properly..."

Dr. Kongmu started talking non-stop, completely ignoring his surroundings and repeating his old habits.

After rambling on and on, Ash quickly released Blackie to greet Professor Elm.

After all, Dr. Kuro was the one who helped Kuro be born safely.

Dr. Kuro's eyes lit up when he saw Kuro appear.

"Oh, amazing, amazing... just stay still like that."

He actually took out the measuring tape he always carried with him and started measuring Xiao Hei, leaving Xiao Hei completely confused.

"Lugia is now nearly two meters long. Its fur, physique, and spirit... Ash, you've trained it exceptionally well." Professor Elm praised Lugia repeatedly as he recorded its data.

"Of course."

Ash has put a lot of effort into Blackie, buying all sorts of high-end nutritional supplements to help it grow stronger.

Moo Moo milk and high-quality honey have never been interrupted!

After Dr. Kuro touched and stroked the little black dog from head to toe, he finally got up with satisfaction and took out his notebook to write and draw.

"Hey Ash, this is the most suitable growth supplement formula I've given based on Kuro's physical condition."

"As a legendary Pokémon, Lugia's growth process is much longer than that of ordinary Pokémon, and I believe this will be helpful to you."

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining "Pokémon Growth Supplement Recipe" +1]

[Pokémon Growth Supplement: A super-powerful supplement, expertly selected! Taking this will shorten a Pokémon's baby period by half.]

Ash received the formula from Professor Elm and immediately expressed his sincere gratitude.

Although Professor Elm usually seems unreliable, he is actually an expert in Pokémon breeding and Pokémon eggs.

He's also an industry authority in this field. Why didn't Xiaozhi think of going to him to collect some coins before?

It's heartbreaking! The old man's gold coins should explode, and the uncle's gold coins should explode too, only then can things be considered complete!

Soon Ash and his friends arrived at Kuga City, the port city on Locust Island.

"It's so lively here."

This was a rather prosperous city. As soon as she got off the boat, Serena shook her little head and looked around curiously.

The people here are busy decorating with lanterns and colorful decorations, as if preparing for a major celebration.

"This is the grand celebration of the Whirl Islands that we talked about before." Ash was also very excited to see this scene.

"The competition is scheduled to take place in a month, but it's already quite lively."

"The Whirl Islands Tournament, held every three years, is a grand celebration for all Water-type Pokémon trainers..." Misty trembled as she spoke, her passion burning.

"I've been waiting for this day for far too long!"

"I, Xiaoxia, the world's most beautiful girl and mermaid, will definitely show everyone my gorgeous skills in using Water-type Pokémon in battle!"

"Our goal is to win the championship!"

Her imposing presence made it seem as if huge waves were crashing against the rocks behind her, and Serena, inspired by Xiaoxia's fighting spirit, immediately clapped in admiration.

But Ash quietly came up behind her and gently blew into her ear.

"Xia, I'll be participating too!"

The world's most beautiful girl, who had been making grand pronouncements, immediately jumped up like a startled cat.

There's no way around it, Xiaoxia has already taken on the form of Xiaozhi.

But this time, Xiaoxia was a bit different from before. She rekindled her fighting spirit and stared at Xiaozhi without any fear.

"Hmph, even if it's Ash, I'll show you I can beat him!"

"I'm really looking forward to it..."

Although he was sharp-tongued, Xiao Zhi was actually very pleased.

It seems that in the future training sessions, Xiaozhi won't need to force Xiaoxia to participate anymore.

"It's great that young people have ambition, but have you signed up?"

At this moment, Dr. Kongmu, who had just moored the ship, also came to their side.

"Sign up?"

"Eh~"

Finally, led by Professor Elm, the group arrived at the Pokémon Center on the island to register.

"Ash, look, this is the map of the Whirl Islands."

"There are four main islands here: Qingyan Island, Huangyan Island, Chiyan Island, and Yinyan Island."

After Ash and his friends registered, Professor Elm led them to a large map in the center.

To introduce the local situation and customs to Xiaozhi and his friends who are visiting here for the first time.

"It is said that this place is blessed by the gods, so it has always enjoyed favorable weather and abundant produce."

"It is quite prosperous, and therefore has a very different appearance from the headquarters of the City Alliance."

Actually, Dr. Elm underestimated the situation. In a sense, the Whirlpool Islands are equivalent to an autonomous region of the Johto Alliance.

Because of its large population and strong strength, and because it was the last region to join the City Alliance, the Whirlpool Islands have always maintained a high degree of independence.

Perhaps with a long period of development, it could develop into something like the Orange Alliance.

"The Whirl Islands pilgrimage is about traveling around the main islands of the Whirl Islands using only the power of your Pokémon companions."

"Then, after finding a specific route to reach the Water City, and after three preliminary rounds, the winners can travel to the regional capital of Red Rock Island for the final tournament."

"The Water City?" Xiaoxia looked at the map.

"It's not on there."

At this point, Dr. Kuroki shook his finger and then explained.

"The Water City is located somewhere in the ocean of the Whirlpool Islands, and it can only be accessed by air transportation."

"The contestants participating in the Whirlpool Islands Tournament must enter by sea."

"I know that. Even in Carlos, the Water City is quite famous."

"It's known as a city that coexists with the ocean, and it's incredibly beautiful." Serena had wanted to visit it for a long time.

Unlike Serena, who was focused on Water 7, Ash's attention was on the deities that Professor Elm had mentioned at the beginning.

"Protected by the gods..."

They must be talking about Lugia. Ash doesn't know if the deity here is the same as the one in the Orange Islands, the sea god.

If the other party could see what Xiao Hei looks like now, they would probably be very pleased.

After all, even the Demon King is gone. That's the power of Ash's tyrannical teaching!

"Good luck to you all. The winner of the final Whirlpool Tournament will be awarded the title of Ocean Warrior."

"I heard that this is what people in the ancient Whirlpool Islands called Water-type Pokémon trainers."

Hearing this, Ash couldn't help but complain again: there are really a lot of heroes in the Pokémon world.

After thanking Professor Elm, Ash and his friends went to the Pokémon Center to rest for a while.

Ash first went to Professor Oak to report the situation and asked him for some of his Pokémon.

Since only Water-type Pokémon can participate in the Whirl Islands Tournament, Ash naturally had to call his old friends back.

Professor Oak helped me teleport Milotic, Gyarados, Blademaster, and Dragonite over.

Ash also contacted the Red Company's branch in the Orange Islands and asked them to teleport Lapras from the protected area as well.

"Alright, our goal this time is to win the Whirlpool Islands Tournament!"

"Pikachu!"

Once everything was ready, Ash immediately gave Pikachu on his shoulder a fist bump to encourage it.

It's a pity Pikachu can't be used, otherwise, if all the opponents are Water-type Pokémon, Pikachu would definitely be able to take down one opponent at a time and go crazy on the battlefield.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new side quest, "Uzumaki, Not Naruto!": Please achieve final victory in the Uzumaki Islands Tournament!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +6000; Stamina +2; Special Attack +2; Free Attribute Points +3;]

At that moment, Xia, who was also excited about the competition and was enthusiastically helping to groom Lulili's fur, exclaimed in surprise.

It turned out that Lulili, who was in her arms, suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.

Azur Lane has evolved.

"Wow, this is evolution!" Serena's eyes lit up as she witnessed evolution for the first time.

After all, evolution is the most romantic miracle in the Pokémon world, and it always brings joy no matter how many times you see it.

For Azur Lane to evolve, it needs to reach a certain level of intimacy with its trainer.

Although Misty sometimes slacks off in battles, she is extremely meticulous when it comes to taking care of Pokémon.

Especially the adorable Ruli, who, like Pokopf, received a great deal of maternal love from Misty.

Soon, Lulili evolved into Marill.

"Great, Marylou!"

Before the Whirl Islands Tournament began, Misty's Pokémon roster gained another powerful member.

Meanwhile, at Team Rocket's base deep in the ocean off the Whirlpool Islands.

"Report, Dr. Dongbo, our equipment has detected the target information!"

"It's Dr. Nanbo!"

An old man with pink hair, bald in the middle and with his hair sticking up on the sides, angrily yelled at the Team Rocket member who came to report.

However, he quickly calmed down.

"Very good, immediately take your men and set out to pinpoint the target's movements."

"Remember our Pokémon Power Boost Project, which requires Lugia's power."

"To maximize the power of Pokémon and create new energy sources, it's all worth it!"

Chapter 267 Little Bobo on Big Bobo Island

It was a bright and sunny morning.

A beautiful sky, a beautiful ocean, a beautiful forest, and the screams of the Pokémon living here...

Is something wrong?

"Gyarados uses Waterfall!"

"Milotic, Water Cannon!"

"Dragonite, Dragon Dive!"
