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

As he spoke, Ash took a bracelet off his wrist and gently placed it into Max's palm with his fingers.

In just a moment, Xiaosheng felt an indescribable, terrifying weight, and his gaze towards Xiaozhi suddenly became clear.

"Wow, that's amazing! We walked for so long, and Ash was carrying that much weight the whole time...?"

This made Xiaosheng feel a sense of respect for Xiaozhi.

"Xiao Yao and Xiao Sheng, since Uncle Qianli has entrusted you to me, I will definitely teach you well."

"After all, I really like you guys."

"Xiao Zhi..."

"Brother Xiaozhi..."

[Ding! Xiaoyao: Affection +3]

[Ding! Xiao Sheng: Affection +5]

"Good, objective achieved!"

After receiving authorization from the siblings' parents, Ash once again used emotional manipulation to successfully establish his absolute leadership position in the team!

This will allow Xiaosheng to experiment with more training programs in the future, since the children of Dark City still lack scientific guidance on muscle growth.

Of course, Ash wouldn't harm Max; he had been carefully observing Max's condition the whole time.

Xiao Zhi's exercise volume is strictly controlled to prevent excessive training from affecting his healthy growth.

"Alright, Xiaosheng, you can rest now. That's all for today's training."

Once we've built up Xiao Sheng's physique, we can start training him to withstand blows, hehehe.

Although Max is still too young to catch Pokémon, his strong physique before his journey will be a great help on his path to becoming a Pokémon Trainer.

Xiao Zhi is doing this all for his own good!

I wonder what the Qianli couple will think when they see that Xiaosheng's head has become pointy.

————Brave Birds Attack————

Ash, May, and Max found a clearing in the woods to set up camp.

As he set up the iron pot to prepare lunch, he glanced at the unusually quiet surroundings and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"The forest seems a bit strange today."

"Generally speaking, Petalburg Woods is a region where Pokémon gather in large numbers. How come we haven't seen a single Pokémon after walking for so long?"

"Yeah, there are so many Pokémon here when I come to Petalburg Woods."

"Xiaosheng, you recovered so quickly! You were just exhausted and on the verge of collapse a moment ago. But isn't it a good thing that it's easier to travel without Pokémon bothering you?"

May is most afraid of Pokémon that suddenly pop out.

However, Ash picked up his chopstick and lightly tapped May on the head, making her let out a cute cry.

"You can't think like that, May. Battling wild Pokémon and finding suitable partners to catch are important things for trainers on their journey."

If we don't battle Pokémon, what will we eat?! No, how will we get stronger?!

"Moreover, a sudden change in environment to an eerie and quiet state is often a harbinger of impending danger."

Xiao Zhi started preparing lunch quickly with both hands.

At the same time, his wave-guiding power did not stop, but continued to spread outwards to investigate.

"There really isn't a single Pokémon in the nearby forest, something's not right..."

"But they don't understand these things. Since things have come to this, let's eat first!"

Seeing the rich soup simmering in Ash's pot becoming more and more fragrant, May couldn't care less about anything else; she and Max's stomachs were already growling with hunger.

But then Ash suddenly sensed that a large group of powerful Auras had entered his perception range.

In the distance, the sounds of birdsong gradually rose from the sky.

"Spa! Spa!"

"Sister, look! That's the Proud Swallow!"

"Swallow..." May quickly took out her Pokédex and scanned it at the large flock of swallows that was getting closer and closer.

[Aoguyan: No matter how strong the opponent, she will bravely challenge them and has the perseverance to not be discouraged even if she loses, but she will cry loudly when she is hungry.]

At this moment, Xiaosheng finally remembered the reminder that Qianli had given him when he came to Orange Blossom Forest.

"Ah, I remember now, it's the season when the proud swallows are out in large numbers."

"Towntails are very territorial. They must have eaten all the food around here and driven away all the Pokémon in the vicinity, which is why the environment here has become like this!"

Hearing what Xiaosheng said, even Xiaoyao realized that something was wrong.

"So that means their sudden appearance is..."

"That's right, they must think we're intruders into their territory, and it looks like they're planning to steal our lunch!"

At this moment, the lead proud swallow sniffed the alluring fragrance in the air, its eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and it shouted a few words to its brethren behind it.

The flock of Swellows immediately assumed an attack stance and swooped down towards Ash and his friends' location.

The overwhelming momentum was like a group of bombers.

Chapter 353 Wow, this swallow can be enchanted!

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

"Pickup!"

The thick bolt of lightning struck straight at the flock of swooping swallows, and Pikachu knocked them all to the ground like flies with an electric swatter.

"Yay! Pikachu's Electric-type moves are especially effective against Flying-type Pokémon!"

"Wait a minute, is this small victory really effective?"

"What? How is that possible? That's Pikachu's Thunderbolt!"

Before Xiao Sheng could be happy for long, Xiao Yao suddenly discovered that all the fallen Aogu Yan had actually propped themselves up and started flying again.

Xiao Zhi was also very surprised by this situation.

"Pikachu, did you go easy on me?"

"Pika~" Pikachu shook its head repeatedly.

What it just released was definitely 100,000 volts of normal power.

Generally speaking, a first-stage Pokémon like Taillow has absolutely no chance of surviving a single 100,000-volt attack from Pikachu.

But at this moment, the proud swallows not only survived, but also reorganized their formation to launch a second attack.

Under the command of their leader, Tailwing, each of their wings glowed white as they charged at Ash and his friends from the sky once more.

"Spah!!!"

"It's a wing attack! They seem to be enraged." May quickly pulled Max behind Ash to hide, with both of them only peeking out to observe the situation.

At this moment, each of these proud swallows carried a little bit of electricity, but their movements did not slow down at all, and their cries were even louder than before.

Especially the lead Swellow, whose eyes seemed to burn with fire, was instead ignited by Pikachu's Thunderbolt.

"Townow, we just wandered in by accident. We're not intruders, and we didn't steal your food!" Ash tried to communicate with the Taillows.

Unfortunately, the stubborn swallows wouldn't listen to him at all, their eyes still full of hostility.

"Useless Ash, the data says that once Taillow identifies an enemy, it will relentlessly fight against them no matter how strong they are."

"So any wild Pokémon that sees them in groups will immediately run away."

At this moment, Xiao Sheng was both nervous and excited.

"They were all in very poor condition. They must have relied on sheer willpower to withstand Pikachu's attack."

"Relying on willpower? There's really no other way."

It seems Ash has no choice but to defeat them completely.

At this moment, the Taillows attacked again, and Ash once again had Pikachu unleash Thunderbolt.

A flash of lightning struck, and the proud swallows were all shot down as before, but surprisingly, they got back up.

"Do they all have the ability to hold on?"

Ash was a little scared, but he was also completely intrigued. Now he wanted to see just how many attacks these Taillows could withstand from Pikachu.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt again!"

"Pickup!"

Finally, just as the third 100,000 volts was about to strike, most of the Tauntlings couldn't withstand it anymore.

Most of them immediately scattered and fled, dragging their bodies to their limits, leaving only the lead proud swallow still soaring defiantly in the air.

A moment later, it charged straight at Pikachu's Thunderbolt, its entire body bathed in electricity, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

After the 100,000 volts dissipated, the proud swallow was coated with a golden light as if it had been enchanted, and there were even electric currents wrapped around it.

His gaze remained stubbornly fixed on Ash and Pikachu.

"Spar!"

"Wow, what a proud swallow! I've never seen anything like it before!"

Xiao Sheng was so excited he almost jumped up. Traveling really does allow you to see all sorts of novel things that you never dared to imagine before.

Suddenly, the proud swallow charged forward again at an extremely fast speed, this time with a wing attack that was accompanied by lightning.

"It's so dazzling! This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it since I was born."

"Is this the time to talk about this, Kashin!"

Tailwing's wing attack was aimed at Pikachu, but Pikachu jumped to dodge it and retaliated with an electric shock.

The proud swallow's attack continued relentlessly, its wingtips leaving long scratches on the ground.

It then swept over Ash's head, creating a considerable gust of air.

"Its skill power has increased! It's actually using Pikachu's power to attack Pikachu... What an interesting Swellow!"

After missing its target, Aogu Yan immediately circled back and launched another attack from behind the group.

Seeing this, Ash quickly turned around and pressed May and Max's heads down.

"Oh no, Xiao Zhi! The soup on the shelf was almost knocked over by the attack of the Pride Swallow!"

Even at times like this, foodie Xiaoyao is still more focused on her lunch.

"If it's spilled, I'll just make it again."

"No, that means we have to wait even longer. I'm so hungry I can't stand it anymore..." Xiaoyao said, her eyes brimming with tears.

Ash had no choice but to have Pikachu lure Taillow a little further away.

Pikachu immediately used Quick Attack to run towards the edge of the clearing, while Taillow chased after it relentlessly in the sky.

At this moment, Aogu Yan was covered in electric current, her physical condition was extremely poor, and even the focus of her pupils had been disrupted.

It is currently holding on entirely by its own willpower.

"Oh no, Ash! We can't attack anymore, or Taillow will be in mortal danger!"

Actually, Taillow should have been unable to battle immediately after Pikachu used its first Thunderbolt.

But this Swellow seems invincible, still fighting on, and Ash looks at it with eyes full of admiration.

"I understand, but this guy is actually going to such lengths for a battle... Great, I like it!" Ash immediately ran quickly towards Pikachu and Taillow.

"Pikachu is decided! This is our first partner in the Hoenn region!"

"Pickup!"

At this moment, Aogu Yan paused, as if her consciousness had been severed, and fell from the sky. But she immediately shouted, and her free fall turned into the potential energy for another attack.

A wing attack strikes Pikachu once again.

"Spar!"
