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

"How could this be? Blaziken's Charged Flame attack clearly didn't hit, so how did it suddenly become faster?!"

The Blaziken is now significantly faster in both attack and evasion than it was at the beginning.

It even shows signs of surpassing Charizard.

Charizard secretly using Dragon Dance to increase its speed is one thing, but how did it also...?

"It's speed boost; some Blaziken in the Hoenn region possess this rare ability."

"With each round of attacks during a battle, the speed of a Pokémon with the Speed ​​Boost ability will increase by one level."

Xiao Gang, who had seen a lot, immediately found the reason.

It can be said that as long as Blaziken is still on the battlefield, its speed will gradually increase passively even if it does nothing.

Charizard has to sneak around Dragon Dance to get its speed boost, which is a pretty powerful ability.

Unfortunately, Brock was in the audience and couldn't speak up to remind Ash.

Of course, he doesn't need to worry too much.

Although Ash didn't know much about the Pokémon in the Hoenn region, on a dark and stormy night, Misty, who loved eating meat the most, forced him to memorize every single ability.

The gentle voice of the world's most beautiful girl is Ash's haven as he grows stronger!

Ash's muscular, super-brainy worked quickly, and he soon guessed that Blaziken's characteristic was most likely Speed ​​Boost.

Because Charizard had fought three battles in a row and exhausted a lot of energy, the two Pokémon are now roughly evenly matched.

If Ye Yue's Blaziken doesn't choose to attack, then Charizard won't be able to use the opportunity to dodge and use Dragon Dance.

With both sides standing still and boosting their attack, Ash's Charizard can normally use Dragon Dance to increase its Attack and Speed ​​by one level per turn.

Ye Yue's Blaziken uses Bulk Up and Speed ​​Boost to increase its Attack, Defense, and Speed ​​by one level per turn.

In total, Charizard actually lost out on a defense boost.

"Then we can't give them any more chances to strengthen themselves."

If Ash accidentally loses his Charizard and the opponent's Blaziken gets boosted, Ash might be caught off guard and have his team swept.

He immediately rolled up his sleeve, revealing the super bracelet inside.

"Let's go all out! Charizard Mega Evolution!"

"Roar!!!"

"Is this evolution?" Ye Yue's mouth dropped open.

The entire audience fell silent at the same moment, staring in astonishment at the strange change taking place on the field.

Even A-Du in the VIP room immediately got up and went to the window in disbelief.

"It's a super evolution that's completely different from before!"

On the battlefield, Charizard suddenly burst out with a dazzling white light, and the Mega Stone embedded in the magnificent tail ring and the Key Stone on Ash's wrist sparkled and connected.

A moment later, a handsome dragon appeared on the battlefield, its mouth wreathed in blue flames, its muscles bulging, and its body glossy black.

This time, Ash chose to evolve Charizard into Mega Charizard X, which he had just acquired an evolution stone for.

The reason he didn't choose Mega Charizard Y was actually because he wanted to make better use of the Dragon Dance he had just stacked up.

After all, Mega Charizard Y focuses on enhancing Special Attack, while Charizard in Black Dragon form can fully utilize the enhancements in Attack and Speed.

Moreover, during its Mega Evolution, Charizard even secretly performed a dragon dance.

Plan Complete.jpg

"Charizard, use Dragon Claw!"

Blaziken, Thunder Punch!

During the time Charizard evolved, Blaziken's speed was passively boosted by one level again, so the two Pokémon acted almost simultaneously.

A fist crackling with lightning collided rapidly with a dragon's claws baring their fangs in the center of the arena.

But after a brief standoff, Blaziken was immediately forced back.

Its feet left two long scratches on the ground. It barely managed to steady itself, but then it couldn't support itself and knelt down on one knee.

"Cheers!"

"Useless Ye Yue, Thunder Fist can no longer suppress the current Charizard!"

Charizard now possesses the noble Dragon attribute, making it a true dragon, and its Dragon Dance ability has been successfully stacked to two levels.

Blaziken has no chance of winning.

That being said, Ye Yue also has his own pride as a trainer.

"If we don't fight to the very last moment, who knows when Blaziken will miraculously survive!"

The damage accumulated in the previous battles had left Blaziken with almost no stamina, but its near-limit physical strength also brought out its final potential.

The ultimate power of a desperate escape is unleashed!

At Ye Yue's call, Blaziken stood up with sheer willpower.

Its full strength erupted in that instant, and several cracks appeared on the soles of its feet, spreading outwards to the surrounding area.

"just!!!"

The lower Blaziken's stamina, the more powerful its "Last Stand" move becomes, especially when combined with its Fighting-type typing.

The power of this miraculous escape was exaggerated.

A strong wind blew through all the spectators sitting near the venue, making it difficult for them to open their eyes.

Faced with such a powerful attack that consumed everything in his body, Ash burst into wild laughter.

"Very good teeth!"

His aura surged dramatically in that instant, becoming more powerful and domineering!

If an ordinary trainer saw this terrifying scene of Blaziken, they would definitely make their Pokémon hide immediately.

But he's Ash Ketchum; how could he refuse a man's invitation?

"Charizard uses Dragon Claw, let's defeat them head-on!!!"

"Roar!!!"

In an instant, fist and claw collided once more, and the explosive sound of their skills clashing resounded throughout the arena.

Even in another arena hundreds of meters away, the power of this attack could be clearly heard.

Finally, on the battlefield that had been shattered, standing were...

Ash's Charizard!

The following battle was a foregone conclusion; Ye Yue's Dreamweaver and Steelix were easily defeated by a single Flamethrower from Mega Charizard.

"Steelcore is unable to battle, Ash is the winner of this match!"

Chapter 336 The President's Request

After Ash's semifinals, it's Gary's turn to compete.

Compared to Ash's opponent, Ye Yue, who has a powerful Blaziken, Gary's opponent is slightly weaker.

Gary only sent out his Arcanine and Scizor to sweep the team and successfully meet Ash in the finals.

"Wow, I never expected the final match of the Silver Conference to be between two trainers from Pallet Town!" Professor Oak was in high spirits.

This allowed him to lose face in front of his old friends.

As soon as the semi-finals ended, he personally funded a celebratory banquet in advance.

Anyway, the final champion will fall into the hands of the Pallet Town trainers, so it doesn't matter when we hold the event.

He even went against his usual composed and elder-like image, directly embracing Ash and Gary as they went on stage to dance and celebrate.

However, Ash and Gary, who are the main characters, were rather quiet at the banquet.

That's right, they're still acting like experts in their chuunibyou phase, or rather, they're experiencing the excitement that both sides feel before a decisive battle with a formidable opponent.

They had both been looking forward to this day for a long time, when they could fight each other with all their might.

During his journey in the Johto League, Gary put in unimaginable effort to catch up with Ash, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds.

Of all the opponents Ash was supposed to pay attention to at the entire Silver Conference, he was the only one.

The final stage is now complete, and we're just waiting for the main performers to take the stage and sing. However, we still have to patiently wait for the final competition the day after tomorrow.

As soon as he finished eating, the excited Ash took Pikachu out for a night run to release some of his excess energy.

After the crowd dispersed, Shigeru quietly went to Professor Oak's side.

"How's it going, Gary? Now that you've made it to the finals of the Pokémon League, are you still going to stick to your original idea of ​​giving up being a trainer to become a Pokémon researcher?"

Yes, those were the words that Gary couldn't say to Ash by the lake.

If he loses to Ash in this tournament, then Gary will have to give up being a Pokémon Trainer.

Shigeru understood that Professor Oak didn't want him to give up his ideals, but he also had his own considerations.

"Grandpa, didn't you also start as a trainer and then become a researcher?"

"That's different."

Professor Oak had been at the pinnacle of trainers for too long and was getting a little bored.

He also really loves Pokémon and wanted to increase his understanding of them, which is why he chose to step down and devote himself to research.

In the Pokémon world, trainers remain the eternal mainstream.

"Xiao Mao, you're not without talent, it's such a pity to give up like this..."

At this moment, Gary shook his head, interrupting Professor Oak.

"Grandpa, my dream since I was a child has been to become a Pokémon Master, just like Ash."

"What exactly is a Pokémon Master? No one can give an accurate definition yet."

"Whether it's becoming a trainer to raise stronger Pokémon or working as a researcher to continuously refine your understanding of Pokémon."

"As long as it's based on my love for Pokémon, reaching that untouched peak is the right path for me."

From the time he was a child, when he borrowed Pokémon from Professor Oak's backyard to play pretend battles, Gary never once beat Ash.

As a result, he was forced to train with the muscle fanatic and drink protein powder like crazy. All of Ash's expensive training supplements were won from Gary in this way.

However, before they officially embarked on their trip, the difference between the two was actually very small.

Therefore, Gary always believed that as long as he officially embarked on the journey, he would be able to quickly surpass Ash with his talent and illustrious family background.

But things didn't go as planned. The gap between the two not only didn't narrow but widened even further. At the Quartz Conference, Shigeru was even defeated by a random passerby.

This was a devastating blow to Xiao Mao's self-esteem, causing him to mature quickly and begin to think about his own path.

"I've given it my all this time. If I still can't defeat Ash after doing this much, then changing paths isn't running away, but a wise choice."

Seeing Shigeru's serious expression, Daiki knew that this was not a decision he made on a whim.

"Sigh, you've grown up now, so make your own decisions about your life."

In this situation, Professor Oak, as an elder, could only choose to offer his silent support.

————Flash Charge————

"Is that so? Giovanni's whereabouts disappeared after he passed through the Sinnoh region..."

"Okay, I understand the situation. You guys go back to Kanto first, we'll talk about the rest later."

Listening to the report from investigator Joey on the other end of the phone, Damaranchi, who had just finished discussing important matters with Adu and left the Alliance headquarters, felt a headache coming on.

"Sigh, things are in trouble."
