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

[Ding! Xiaoyao: Affection +5]

"Well then, Shun, this is arguably the best hotel in Kaina City. If you want to stay here any longer, then let's have a match."

The green-haired boy put his hands in his pockets, coldly sized up Ash, and then snorted after a moment.

"I hate being threatened, but moving around really affects my performance in the game. Since it was you who suggested it, then fine."

For some reason, Shun's attitude towards Satoshi was noticeably better than his attitude towards Haruka and her brother.

They returned to the beach. Xiaoyao was holding her breath, feeling humiliated by the other party. She was determined to get revenge.

"Please, Butterfree, get on stage and let that guy see that you're not some ugly Pokémon!"

"Poison Rose, Go!"

They are currently undergoing simulated training for spectacular battles, so each of them needs to showcase the most impressive aspects of their Pokémon.

"Ouch!"

When the Hunting Swallowtail butterfly made its appearance, its wings flashed with dazzling light, illuminating its already magnificent body as it slowly landed on the beach.

The poisonous rose opposite was even more magnificent. With its eyes closed, it held two beautiful flowers crossed in front of its chest, golden powder swirling around the flowers as they gracefully landed, while it hummed a melodious tune.

"Understand, please!"

"It seems that the other Pokémon's entrance was indeed more impressive."

"A narrow victory!"

"Hmph, in the face of true beauty, any praise pales in comparison."

Xiao Shun tossed her bangs with a flirtatious air, extremely satisfied with her performance with Poison Rose.

"I won't lose to you!"

"Then you can make the first move."

"Hunting Butterfly, use Impact!"

"Poisonous Rose, Magic Leaf".

Perhaps because she was so eager to teach Shun a lesson, Haruka's attack was exceptionally impulsive. The Hunting Butterfly scattered silver dust from its wings and crashed straight into the Poison Rose.

Then, the opponent immediately seized the opportunity, gracefully jumped to dodge the attack, and then the two beautiful flowers in her hand, one red and one blue, instantly released several leaves that shimmered with emerald light.

The movement of the magic leaf formed a bizarre dance; the leaf seemed to drift slowly down with the wind, yet its speed was exceptionally fast, giving the hunting swallowtail butterfly no time to dodge, hitting it directly.

"Staring at this movement trajectory for too long can actually have a deceptively hypnotic effect; it's an interesting attack."

This was the first time Ash had watched a spectacular battle up close, and he finally understood how amazing the Coordinators were.

Because they want to showcase the most dazzling moves possible, even the most ordinary moves will be turned into something spectacular by the trainer.

Pokémon trained by Coordinators often have a much stronger grasp of their own moves than Pokémon trained solely by battle.

For example, Ash's Grovyle can't use Magic Leaf like that.

After all, in their minds, skills should be powerful enough to defeat opponents. They should just build up enough power and slam it into the enemy's face. Why would they let it float in the air like this?

"However, it does have its merits."

Ash mentally simulated the scenario of Swellow facing this magical leaf, but no matter how he calculated it, Swellow would definitely be hit.

At this moment, the hunting swallowtail butterfly, whose wing had been struck, was already staggering in flight.

"Hold on, Swallowtail Butterfly!"

"Poisonous Rose, Paralyzing Powder".

"Get out of here!"

The poisonous rose gracefully swayed the flowers in her hand, and paralyzing powder flew down from the sky, instantly paralyzing the swallowtail butterflies, causing them to collapse to the ground.

"Ah, Hunting Butterfly, are you alright? Get up quickly..."

Seeing the Hunting Swallowtail fall, Haruka panicked instantly and kept shouting and calling for it to get up.

"Sister, you can't panic in a time like this..."

"Wait a minute, Xiaosheng, let Xiaoyao do it herself."

Sho and Ash watched the battle with great interest, but Ash stopped Sho from reminding May.

Having been a teacher many times, Xiao Zhi naturally understands that simply acting as a babysitter is not conducive to a student's growth; in these situations, Xiao Yao has to rely on herself.

At this moment, Xiao Shun looked contemptuously at the fallen Hunting Butterfly.

"Hmph, this battle is far too easy. Poison Rose, use Petal Dance to deliver the final blow."

"Hunting swallowtail butterfly, spinning silk!"

"Ouch!"

"what?"

At this moment, Shun's taunt actually calmed Yao down. The hunting butterfly on the beach also regained its senses at this moment. Its long proboscis immediately straightened and shot a bright white thread into the air.

The silk threads reflected the sunlight, displaying a dazzling array of colors, and after a brief entanglement, they completely bound the poisonous rose.

It struggled desperately, but still couldn't break free.

Xiaoyao immediately jumped up excitedly, "Well done, hunting swallowtail butterflies!"

"What gorgeous silk threads!"

Xiao Shun slightly abandoned her earlier disdain; one had to take meticulous care to achieve this level of insect silk.

He didn't know that the Swallowtail Butterfly had been lavishly feeding on high-grade energy cubes since it was a hedgehog. (May bought it from Ash)

It eats a lot and is incredibly nutritious; its silk-spitting ability is arguably the best among Bug Pokémon.

Back when it was still a shelled cocoon, its silk threads were so strong that even the smallest lobster soldiers couldn't cut them.

However, as an experienced trainer, Shun quickly calmed down and immediately stopped Roselia from continuing its ugly struggles.

In the dazzling battle, any discordant action will result in a deduction of points.

"It's somewhat presentable, but unfortunately, it still falls far short in terms of beauty!"

"Poison Rose, use Sword Dance to cut the silkworm threads."

"Get out of here!"

The poison rose danced gracefully within its ornate silken cage. In a real competition, even if the poison rose couldn't break free from the silken bindings, it would still deduct a significant number of points from Haruka.

Xiaoyao also understood that she absolutely could not let the opponent actually cut the silk thread; she had to press her advantage and attack!

"Hunting Butterfly, unleash Silver Whirlwind at full power!"

"Ooh!"

The downsides of traveling with Ash for too long became apparent at this point.

Faced with her opponent's dazzling dance moves, Xiaoyao didn't think about how to counter them. Instead, she immediately realized that she needed to use her full strength to defeat her opponent.

However, even in a Pokémon Contest, if a Pokémon loses its ability to battle, all its points will be deducted instantly.

It's not fair to say that Xiaoyao's strategy of achieving miracles through sheer force is wrong.

The hunting swallowtail butterfly flapped its large wings vigorously, creating wave after wave of crescent-shaped silver whirlwinds.

It's worth noting that Beautifly usually trains Ash's Pokémon, so while the fancyness of its moves can't be guaranteed, their power is top-notch.

The entire beach was swept up by a silver whirlwind, and sandstorms swirled around it. Poison Rose was instantly engulfed in this silver sandstorm whirlwind.

At this moment, Xiao Shun finally stopped looking relaxed with his hands in his pockets and immediately shouted towards the center of the sandstorm.

"Poison Rose, Blazing Sunlight!"

It was midday, the sun was high in the sky, so the Poison Rose's fiery energy quickly gathered, and suddenly, a bright beam of energy shot vertically upwards from the center of the storm.

Finally, with a powerful blow from the poisonous rose, the storm dissipated, and it slowly fell from the sky, but when it landed, it was no longer as calm and elegant as before.

The hunting swallowtail butterfly flapped its wings up and down, flying down into the air to confront it. It had also exhausted a lot of its strength by using the silver whirlwind at full power.

Overall, the Hunting Butterfly, which was paralyzed by electricity, looked more pathetic.

Just as May was nervously observing her opponent's next move, Shun suddenly took out a Poké Ball and recalled Roselia.

"Hey, what are you doing? The battle isn't over yet!" Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.

“...You are even less qualified than I thought.”

Green Hair said something without saying anything, then turned to look at Ash.

"According to the rules of the 'Glamour Battle' tournament, the 5-minute time limit has expired. Are you satisfied now?"

"Seriously, they actually made me battle against a trainer like this."

"Yeah, I saw a really interesting match. Thanks for your hard work."

"However, if you're so unhappy about battling May, you can battle me next time," Ash said with a smile.

He also wanted to see if the green-haired guy had any other novel skills he could develop.

Of course, if Ash were to battle someone with such a foul mouth, he would certainly not hold back and would use the same level of skill he would use against Gary.

He doesn't care what happens then.

Faced with Ash's suggestion, Shun silently turned around and walked directly towards the hotel.

"Hey Shun, wait a minute! We haven't decided a winner yet. You'll be participating in the Grand Contest the day after tomorrow, right?" Haruka suddenly shouted.

But Green Hair didn't stop.

"Hmph, of course, that's why I came here."

"Then I will definitely defeat you in the Grand Contest."

"Let's talk about it after you pass the first round of review."

"What, you jerk!" Xiaoyao really wanted to hit him.

But he was still angry; if he had continued fighting, he might have really lost.

Now, her desire to go for special training is stronger than ever.

"I absolutely cannot lose to this guy! Ash, train with me before the Grand Contest officially starts the day after tomorrow!"

"Good job, Xiaoyao, you've finally got your fighting spirit back. Keep it up!"

Ash encouraged May with relief, saying that although she had tried her best before, she couldn't shake off the playful attitude in her heart.

Things are different now. This is just the first one. There will definitely be more formidable rivals that Haruka wants to surpass, constantly motivating her to move forward.

They definitely didn't want to stay on the beach any longer, because if they ran into Xiao Shun again, they might start arguing again.

So the group rested at the Pokémon Center and then continued their training for the Grand Battles in the nearby forest.

However, a slight problem arose at the very beginning of the training.

"Ah, Ash, you defeated my Beautifly again!"

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I just get so engrossed in the battle."

In a forest clearing, Haruka's Hunting Butterfly was ambushed and critically defeated by a Lobster Soldier's sneak attack on a vital spot, all in just 10 seconds.

"This method is completely ineffective for training."

"There's nothing I can do; after all, I'm a battle trainer." Ash shrugged helplessly.

As a muscular man, he understands fighting and bodybuilding, but fighting in the style of bodybuilding is a challenge for him.

After all, it's common knowledge that bodybuilders generally don't fight, and aerobic exercise consumes muscle.

Therefore, Xiaozhi's thoughts are not the same in the two states.

If he's going to fight, then he should fight to his heart's content; if he wants to show off the beauty of his muscles, then he should activate his full defense and stand still.

However, this makes it impossible to properly train for Grand Tournament battles.

Ash's knowledge of the Contests, which he has more of than May's, comes from books, and he teaches her what he can verbally.

Now, when it comes to actual practice, it's best to have someone who has actually participated in the Grand Prix and has experience.

"Is there anyone who can help Xiaoyao...?"

At that moment, Ash suddenly remembered that they had an acquaintance who was very experienced in Contests!
