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

Seeing Pikachu disappear, it immediately readjusted its posture, and its four sharp metal claws instantly emitted a terrifying metallic luster once again.

Its terrifying brain, like a supercomputer, worked frantically, instantly calculating Pikachu's most likely attack location and successfully defending against the initial Iron Tail attack.

But then it was hit by Pikachu's rapid attacks again.

"Get used to Metagross, you can do it!"

"Roar~!"

The shiny Metagross's giant claws spun rapidly on both sides of its body, its brain potential being pushed to the limit during the battle.

Finally, Metagross figured out Pikachu's movement trajectory.

"Hoohoho!"

"Metamorphosis, follow up! Bullet Punch!"

Two flashes of light, one yellow and one white, flickered wildly on the open ground in front of the waterfall, making it impossible to see May and Max, who were now two Pokémon, clearly.

All that could be heard was the constant clanging of metal and the large craters that appeared on the ground from time to time, signaling the intensity of the battle between the two Pokémon.

Ash and Steven kept their eyes glued to the clash of moves between the two Pokémon on the field, and finally, at the same moment, they made the same judgment.

"Pikachu's body has reached its limit, use Volt Impact!"

"Metamorphosis, Comet Punch!"

Pikachu and Metagross quickly broke free from their entanglement and returned to their respective halves of the field, both now battered and exhausted.

But at the same time, it charges at its opponent amidst the trainer's shouts.

"Pikachu! Pikachu! Pikachu..."

"Roar--!"

Chapter 381 Super Pikachu Y

The energy of the Volt Impact and the Comet Fist collided like Mars hitting Earth, and the impact of this explosion was unprecedentedly strong.

Ash immediately pressed down on his hat, which was about to be blown off, and at the same time released a wave shield to protect May and the others.

Finally, after the earth shook violently, smoke filled the air.

However, this cave waterfall is indeed quite sturdy, just as Daigo said.

The impact just now shook the entire cave so badly it felt like it was about to fall apart, yet only some loose rocks fell, and the cave remained completely unharmed.

Meanwhile, on the already chaotic open ground, Pikachu and Metagross were both struggling to support their bodies, their eyes fixed intently on each other.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and both of their chests rose and fell with their heartbeats.

"Pikachu, Pikachu~"

"roar~"

Finally, with a groan, Daigo's Shiny Metagross collapsed.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the new epic quest "Challenge the Hoenn Champion (Roadside Battle)": Defeat Steven in a one-on-one battle!]

【获得奖励：联盟币+4000；攻击+3；防御+3；自由属性点+4；金色王冠+1；技能“钢翼”+1】

"Great! Pikachu, we won!"

"Pikachu!"

Upon seeing Metagross collapse from exhaustion, Ash immediately rushed over and picked up Pikachu.

He celebrated by rubbing its soft fur with great joy, as this was the first time he had defeated a champion head-on in a battle.

"Oh dear, I had absolutely no intention of losing."

"Thank you for your hard work, Metagross."

Daigo casually recalled his shiny Metagross, letting it rest.

Although he lost the match this time, Daigo was still very happy.

He thoroughly enjoyed the match.

Even if Metagross still has Mega Evolution as a trump card, they have already used all their strength.

Even under the pressure from Pikachu, Metagross managed to break through its own limits a little, which was enough to make Daigo happy for quite some time.

Of course, they still lost in the end.

"Ash, your fighting style is really interesting."

"Pikachu's strength has improved a lot since the Silver Conference."

"Of course, Pikachu and I never slack off on our training."

Constantly getting stronger, that's Super Rookie and his beloved pet!

"Really? That's fantastic."

Steven loves seeing trainers and Pokémon work together to improve.

He enjoys this kind of all-out battle, regardless of winning or losing.

Now, Steven completely acknowledges Ash's strength.

He took a round stone with lightning patterns inside from his pocket and handed it to Ash.

"Here you go, Xiaozhi, this is the prize I promised you."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Raichu Mega Evolution Stone (Y) +1]

Xiao Zhi accepted it with delight.

"This is Raichu's Mega Stone!"

"Hmm, you actually recognized me." Daigo was taken aback for a moment, but then said confidently.

"That's right, this is the Raichu Mega Evolution Stone I just discovered."

"Furthermore, according to the Devon Institute's testing, this is an evolution stone containing the power of the legendary Pokémon Y."

"In other words, theoretically, Raichu, like Charizard, possesses the potential for two Mega Evolutions..."

"Ah~, the stones are so amazing!"

When it comes to rocks, Steven becomes quite fascinated, enthusiastically telling Ash and the others about the wonders of the rock.

Everyone suddenly saw Uncle Zvoich; they were truly father and son, they were exactly the same when they got into a rage.

Ash was very happy to get a new Mega Stone.

But his Pikachu doesn't plan to evolve into Raichu, so he won't be able to use this Mega Stone.

"Pikachu, do you have any thoughts about evolving into Raichu?"

"Pikachu~, Pikachu~"

As expected, Pikachu shook its head decisively and refused. It liked its current form very much and had no desire to evolve.

This put Ash in a bit of a dilemma. Just as he was wondering whether he should go to Steven to exchange for a reward, a notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding! Bond between host and Pokémon detected. System initiates Bond Evolution Program...]

[You can now convert "Raichu Mega Evolution Stone (Y)" into "Bond Pikachu Mega Evolution Stone (Y)". Mega Pikachu (Y) and Mega Raichu (Y) have the same base stats.]

[Conversion requires "Bond Power - Gold: 100 million"; Conversion required: Yes/No]

"The power of bonds? This is just robbery!"

One hundred million! That's going to take away most of the money Xiaozhi has worked so hard to save.

But after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and finally chose yes.

After all, Mega Evolution is usually a very powerful boost for Pokémon, and Ash would never give up on making Pikachu even stronger.

It still hurts so much!

stingy~

"Ash, you've been staring blankly at Raichu's Mega Stone ever since you left. What's wrong?"

At this moment, Daigo noticed that Ash was actually distracted by his vivid and wonderful rock "Raip," so he couldn't help but come over and ask him about it.

After all, it's impossible for anyone not to enjoy listening to someone as outstanding and handsome as him personally explain the knowledge about stones!

Ash must be preoccupied with something to be doing, otherwise he wouldn't be paying attention to Daigo's lesson! (narcissistic)

But Steven was right; Ash did indeed have something on his mind.

But he didn't show it; he just said in a trembling voice, his voice filled with heartache.

"It's nothing, Mr. Daigo. Thank you so much for giving me this precious Mega Stone."

"I will definitely use it well with Pikachu!"

Feeling the heart-wrenching sound of 100 million being deducted from his account, Ash took the Mega Stone and placed it between himself and Pikachu.

Suddenly, a strange energy connected them, and the super stone in their hands also changed at that moment.

"This is..."

The surrounding crowd looked on in shock, only to see that several more lifelike electric currents had appeared in the original stone that already contained lightning patterns.

The lightning bolt in the very center gradually transformed into the shape of Pikachu's tail, and the original Raichu evolution stone has now successfully become Pikachu's Mega Evolution Stone.

"Great, it's a success!" Xiao Zhi was overjoyed. Although he had spent a lot of money, as long as the result was good, it was all worth it.

He immediately took out a delicate little earring, placed an evolution stone on it, and put it on Pikachu's long ears.

Feeling the continuous bond between itself and Ash flowing from the evolution stone, Pikachu was overjoyed, its little ears twitching and its tail wagging adorably.

"Pikachu~, Pikachu~"

"Oh, this is something I've never seen before. Can Mega Stones really change again?"

This was truly shocking to Steven. If it weren't for the fact that it had just been delivered, he would have asked Ash to return the evolution stone to him so he could take it back to the lab and do another thorough analysis.

However, there are many amazing things in the world of Pokémon. Since he has already decided to give it away, Steven would never do anything to forcibly take it back.

"Ash, I'm glad you and Pikachu are happy. Once you've mastered Mega Evolution, you can battle me again."

"Okay, it's a deal. I also want to witness your Mega Evolution with Metagross, Mr. Daigo!"

"of course."

Steven was very pleased to see the same love for Mega Evolution and Mega Stones shining in Ash's eyes.

It is a great blessing for him to meet such a talented and enthusiastic young man.
