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

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

"You mean there's a problem over there?"

"Pickup!"

Pokémon are very sensitive to changes in nature. Several times before, it was Pikachu that was the first to notice that the weather was not right, so Ash naturally wouldn't ignore its words.

He immediately lowered his presence and flew over, and surprisingly found the Lava Team near the crater.

They were setting up an instrument that could emit lasers, shining a blinding red light at the magma in the crater.

A male lava team leader nearby was staring intently at the irradiated lava.

"How's it going? How's the result?"

"Lord Himura, the machine is running smoothly, the power is stable, and the activity of the magma has been successfully increased."

"very good!"

At this moment, Ash discovers that Professor Solence is tied up to the side, and the meteorite he had been searching for seems to be placed in that machine.

Chapter 431 Indigo Pearl

Beside the massive crater, machines were running at full speed, continuously injecting energy from the radiation into the magma.

As the output power of natural energy on the screen kept increasing, but the magma remained strangely calm, Himura couldn't help but ask the researcher next to him a question.

"Hey, are you sure this machine isn't broken? Why hasn't it been working for so long? Have the people at other observation points sent back any data about that being?"

"That Lord Himura... not yet."

The researcher was also covered in sweat at this point.

"But the machine really doesn't show any abnormalities. The energy contained in the meteorite is enormous, so there shouldn't be any problems..."

"should?!"

Upon hearing this, Himura flew into a rage.

Give me a definite answer!

"Such a rich concentration of natural energy being injected into Hoenn's ley lines couldn't possibly have no effect; something must be wrong there!"

Himura and his team's goal on this trip is to activate the ley lines hidden beneath the Hoenn region by using the natural energy contained in the ancient meteorite.

Groudon, as a legendary being that created the earth, is always closely associated with leyline activity whenever it appears.

If Team Magma can collect enough anomalous fluctuations through their numerous observation points throughout Hoenn, they will finally be able to pinpoint Groudon's hiding place.

But after all this time, the ley lines are still not moving at all, and Fire Village can't wait any longer.

In the middle of the day, he set up camp next to the crater. Was it easy for him to be roasted like a piece of meat?

He immediately decided to go down to the platform closer to the crater to check if the instruments were malfunctioning.

However, just as he was halfway down, the researcher suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Captain Himura, the data has changed; it's fluctuating!"

"Really? I haven't even gone there yet. What's the reason?"

"Uh, it seems that the instrument suddenly stopped transmitting energy."

"what?"

Himura quickly turned his head and saw Ash, who had appeared beside the instrument at some point, curiously looking inside.

The firing nozzle of the instrument was crushed by his palm, and Xiao Zhi suddenly laughed as he felt the energy bursting out from it.

"You people are all idiots. The energy of this meteorite can only have the opposite effect of inhibiting magma activity."

"They actually foolishly poured so much energy into the magma for so long, it was a complete waste of time."

"It's you, the guy who interfered with us in the Rock Cave before!"

Himura scrambled down the hill, still somewhat remembering Ash. He pointed at Ash, his hands trembling with anger.

At this moment, the members of Team Lava also rushed over. Seeing that this person dared to interfere with Team Lava's plans, they were all furious.

"You brat, you actually damaged important equipment! We won't let you get away with this!"

"Oh, I'm really scared."

Team Magma's device was very well made, but in front of Ash, it was as fragile and easily broken as a large plastic toy.

Ash punched the device inside where the meteorite was stored, took out the meteorite, and then kicked Team Magma's device backward into the scalding lava.

With a bang, the instrument and Huocun's heart exploded together.

"No—!"

"You despicable bastard, how could you do such a thing... Everyone, tear him to pieces!"

Himura wasn't a researcher, and he didn't know just how tough the casing of his own instrument was.

Completely blinded by rage, he didn't have time to think about how Ash managed to smash the equipment with his bare hands; all he could think about now was getting his revenge.

However, the researcher who had been standing next to him was so frightened by the sight of Ash easily smashing the instrument's casing that he quickly took advantage of the chaos to sneak away.

Team Magma didn't have time to pay attention to him; they all released their Pokémon to surround Ash.

The pack of large wolfhounds instantly formed a battle formation, baring their teeth at the enemy.

"Hmph, this is a volcanic crater. Your powerful forest lizard can't exert much of its strength here."

"Just surrender obediently, that's the truly wise choice!"

Thanks to the deliberate cover provided by the Fire Goose, the information about Ash in the Fire Village was severely delayed, and they still thought that the strongest Pokémon in his team was the Grovyle.

At that moment, his confident and self-assured demeanor made him appear almost pathetic.

"They're all Dark-type Pokémon." Ash crossed his arms and looked around nonchalantly.

"They're Team Magma, yet they don't have a single Fire or Ground-type Pokémon. At least Team Ocean is all Water-type."

"But it is indeed less constrained by the terrain, so let's go, Mighty Chicken!"

"Chapter!"

With so many Dark-type Pokémon, it's a great opportunity for Combusken to practice, and Ash won't waste it, so he promptly sends it into battle.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt cover! Combusken, use Double Kick!"

The two Pokémon coordinated skillfully. Pikachu unleashed Thunderbolt, striking the ground around Ash and kicking up clouds of dust, successfully obscuring the vision of the attacking forces.

Then, under the cover of the smoke and dust, the Mighty Chicken kept weaving back and forth, occasionally unleashing a double kick.

With its type advantage, the Mighty Chicken can easily take down an opponent with a single kick, and it can easily knock down two large wolfhounds in one turn.

Despite their seemingly numerous numbers, the enemies are utterly no match for the Mighty Chicken.

The Combusken was thoroughly enjoying itself, kicking with increasing vigor and becoming more and more addicted, the entire Pokémon was caught up in the exhilarating excitement of battle.

It's supposed to be an acceleration feature, but right now it's as excited as if it's been set on fire.

"Chamo! Chamo! Chamo..."

"hateful!"

Hearing the screams and thuds of people falling to the ground all around him, Himura finally couldn't stand it any longer.

When they came to the volcano for this mission, they didn't bring the infrared goggles that were standard equipment for the lava team. Unexpectedly, the smoke and dust made them completely blind.

"You bunch of useless trash, can't you see or smell anything? A wolfhound is a dog, after all!"

"But the smoke and dust from the crater is too pungent."

Himura clicked his tongue and could only release his own Gnatif.

Normally, as a leader, he would never do this kind of dangerous, suicide mission, but now he has no choice.

"Goblin, use Wind Blast! Blow away all the smoke and dust around here!"

"Bat~"

The Pokémon he personally raised were indeed much stronger than the soldiers'. With a single flap of its wings, Zubat stirred up a gust of wind that swept away the dust on the field.

But the moment the smoke cleared, he was completely dumbfounded.

"What happened? They all collapsed?"

At this point, all of Team Lava's big dogs were dead, lying on the ground, unable to get up.

Even the last remaining large wolfhound, which still had some strength, had its head firmly stomped under the feet of the strong chicken.

Faced with the powerful rooster towering above, the large wolfhound could only be kicked unconscious and rendered incapable of fighting, under its disdainful gaze.

At this moment, the Mighty Rooster waved its thick arms and roared to the sky, as if a war god had been reborn.

"Well done, strong chicken, but there's still room for improvement in your skills."

Ash was a little disappointed that he hadn't defeated all the enemies and made a final show of bravado before the smoke cleared.

"In short, remember that pride comes before a fall, and you still need to keep working hard!"

“Qia Mao”.

Upon hearing this, Mighty Chicken immediately put away its arrogant nature and returned to Ash's side.

At this moment, Himura's narrow eyes darted around, and his usually quite clever mind finally cleared up. He realized that Ash was not someone he could mess with right now.

Almost instantly, he demonstrated the qualities of an excellent leader, and without hesitation, he led his men away.

"Bigmouth Bat, Black Mist!"

There was no boasting or threats; his turn around was swift and decisive. Ash deserves a perfect score of 10.

Their speed in making a run for their lives was astonishing, even comparable to the Rockets of yesteryear.

"As expected of one of the biggest evil organizations in the Hoenn region, their escape skills are just as good as those in the Kanto region."

Ash didn't stop them; he simply let them board his helicopter and escape through the air.

Ash wouldn't care if they were caught by the League.

Since they were caught by me, I can teach them a lesson and let them go as long as I don't cause any big trouble.

After all, Ash still needs them to find Groudon.

Even the Marines at the control center, Ash asked Sen to pretend to come and rescue them.

This would allow A-Quan to build up his prestige within the organization, while also ensuring that the members of the Ocean Team would continue to serve him.

"So, this is a meteorite left over from the ancient times? It doesn't look particularly special on the outside."

Ash tossed a basketball-sized meteorite in his hand as he walked toward Professor Solitude, who was tied up by Team Magma not far away.

The strong chicken immediately lunged forward with its claws, cutting the ropes binding Solans and helping him to his feet.

"Thank you so much. Otherwise, if bad people had used the meteorite for some evil purpose, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Solance dusted himself off and smiled as he thanked Ash and the others.

"It's all part of our job," Xiao Zhi said with a smile, waving his hand to indicate that it wasn't important.

Suddenly, without paying attention, Ash's hand slipped while throwing the meteorite, and the meteorite fell from his hand.

Dr. Solans was immediately alarmed, and Ash quickly reached out to grab him.

But in that instant, Ash exerted force and crushed the entire meteorite.

"Ah, it's broken!" Solans turned ashen with shock, and Ash was incredulous as well.

"What's going on? Aren't meteorites supposed to be extremely hard?"

Is it like a diamond, only hard but brittle?

At this moment, Solans finally calmed down and carefully observed the meteorite on the ground.

"I tried many cutting instruments before but couldn't cut through its surface, but Xiaozhi, you broke it with just one squeeze. Is it because you're special?"

Ash quickly used his telekinesis to carefully collect all the small pieces of meteorite that had broken off from the ground.

He then unexpectedly discovered a round crystal emitting a blue light that seemed particularly dazzling in the small meteorite pile.

Ash moved it out of the package of rubble and placed it in his palm. Suddenly, a notification sounded in his mind.
