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

This eased the tension that had been building in Higana's heart a little.

The legendary sky god brings a strong sense of security.

Higanbana's anger at Ash for bullying her earlier had completely dissipated.

"I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong people to help me. Now, as long as you master super evolution, you'll be able to solve that big problem in the sky!"

Ash shook his head and said, "Don't worry about that. We've already mastered Mega Evolution."

"What? You've already got it?"

Seeing that Hiljus didn't seem to believe him, Ash immediately kicked Rayquaza, making it stand up and perform a Mega Evolution to show her.

When Sigir saw Rayquaza reluctantly get up and actually complete its Mega Evolution, she was shocked.

"Legend has it that it is extremely difficult for Rayquaza to undergo Mega Evolution, and it is only possible for a human successor to resonate with Rayquaza."

"Why does it seem so easy for Ash and Rayquaza to Mega Evolve?"

"I don't understand." Ash remembered that when he first met Rayquaza, it was already able to Mega Evolve to chase him.

I thought it was something any Rayquaza could do, but it sounds like it's actually quite complicated.

Is it because Rayquaza has a noble complexion that he is so gifted?

He glanced at Rayquaza, who reluctantly answered Ash's question.

It turns out that for a wild Rayquaza to undergo Mega Evolution, it needs to continuously consume meteorites and accumulate a special, extremely long amount of energy in its Tri-Organ before it can evolve even once.

Rayquaza underwent Mega Evolution in front of Ash because it was terrified by Ash's terrifying power.

Thinking it was some powerful enemy attacking, it used up all the precious super evolution attempts it had accumulated over the years.

When it chases Ash a second time, it can undergo Mega Evolution after being captured.

That was entirely because Ash had desperately poured a large amount of energy into his Triangle Organ in order to control Rayquaza.

This allowed Rayquaza to successfully undergo another Mega Evolution.

It's unclear why Ash's energy is so compatible with Rayquaza's body; as soon as Ash infuses it with energy, Rayquaza can easily undergo Mega Evolution.

This is also why Rayquaza has such complex feelings towards Ash.

"But as long as the result is good, that's fine. Now that Rayquaza can Mega Evolve, I'll get to work on implementing the crisis rescue plan as soon as possible."

Higana isn't a rigid person; she won't cling to tradition. As long as she can achieve her goal, that's all that matters.

According to the proper procedure, the inheritor should have gone through layers of tests to reach Glass City, and then challenge the Glass People who guard the Sky Pillar.

Only then can you reach the top of the tower and complete the process of summoning Rayquaza.

The next step is the ritual of resonating with Rayquaza and undergoing Mega Evolution.

But now Ash has skipped directly to the last step, so the intermediate steps are no longer necessary.

However, what they didn't know was that Sootopolis City was the location of the last of the eight Sootopolis Gyms in the Hoenn League.

It is also the hometown of Wallace and the place where his master served as the Gym Leader. Wallace is the current guardian of the Sky Pillar.

Ash's previous battle with Wallace was, in a way, Ash inadvertently completing the steps required for the orthodox process in the prophecy.

Chapter 437 Ash's Territory Expands

"The institute's PhDs predict that the super-large meteorite will fall in four months."

"The Hoenn League has been spending a lot of resources activating anti-gravity devices in an attempt to delay the meteorite's descent as much as possible."

"Now that Ash and Rayquaza have joined the team, they finally have hope of being freed from their predicament soon."

The plan to save Hoenn had already been simulated countless times in Shigella's mind. After opening her notebook, she earnestly spoke to Ash.

"Ash, my suggestion is that we should deal with the meteorite in Lilycove City."

"Yinyu City?"

"Yes, that's where the Hoenn League's eight gyms are located, the Flying-type Creep Gym."

"It also has the largest space launch site in the entire alliance and the strongest air power."

"It can be said that everything related to the sky in Hoenn is concentrated there, making it the most suitable place to resolve crises from the sky."

The various anti-air weapons that Higanbana developed using Team Rocket's resources were also deployed there.

The pretext was to seize an opportunity to capture an important city in Hoenn, in order to please Boss Giovanni.

It's all thanks to those two idiots, Yamato and Kosaburo, who dared to criticize. No wonder they are the long-time rivals of Team Rocket, Musashi and Kojiro, who have a love-hate relationship for many years. They are really bold.

"Besides, Ash, you're still challenging the Hoenn League, so choosing that location won't interfere with your original route plan."

Higanbana was quite considerate of Ash, but what she didn't know was that Ash didn't actually have a route plan at all.

As the king of getting lost, he always finds himself lost somewhere, then sees which gym is closest to him and goes there.

Ash hasn't decided where to go next after completing the LavaCity Gym challenge.

However, Ash will definitely visit the Lilycove Gym.

"Then let's do as you say, Higana. I'll contact the league officials in advance to make preparations."

Mikkuri also reported that the League has completed the initial research on the weapons Ash provided and the protective power of Togepi Park.

Now that Rayquaza is on the team, Ash doesn't believe they can't handle this giant meteorite.

After explaining the plan to Ash one by one, Higanbana was noticeably more relaxed.

With Ash around, Higanbana could clearly feel that she was not alone.

Before hanging up the phone, she even blew Xiaozhi a kiss, showing that she was genuinely happy.

Ash quickly took a screenshot; Higanbana's actions always seem to have a cute contrast.

Of course, if possible, Xiao Zhi would still like to give her cherry lips a big kiss right there on the spot.

"Oh no, how come I'm getting so engrossed in studying again?"

Seeing this, Ash quickly returned to his room in the LavaCity Gym and set up a teleporter to complete an anchor point mission.

He immediately took Dujuan and Sarah into his room.

Our teacher, Ms. Du Juan, already sensed something was wrong when she saw Xiao Zhi inexplicably carry her out of her room and put her with another beautiful girl she didn't know.

"That girl's clothes are so gorgeous, and she seems to be wearing a crown... a crown?"

Du Juan thought she was seeing things and quickly rubbed her eyes. "Ah, how come that girl moves so skillfully!"

"Ash, why did you suddenly bring us here... Waaaaah..."

"Shh, Ms. Du Juan, you should know that you can't talk while eating, right?"

————Lick with a big tongue————

LavaCover Town is a popular tourist destination, so Ash and his friends stayed there for a few more days.

Every day, Xiaoyao would take her pocket money early in the morning and head to town to enjoy herself and eat to her heart's content.

Ash, on the other hand, insisted on keeping Max at the gym to help him and Aza organize the assets of the LavaCleef Gym.

Ash also helped Aza plan the future development of the gym.

After all, Ash was an expert in developing cities. He picked up his pen and wrote down several development maxims for the gym.

Sometimes, Ash would even use Aysa's identity to lecture officials in the city center.

"As the largest symbol and official armed force of a city, the dojo should play a leading role in the city's development."

"Gym Leaders must also integrate their own development into the overall development of the city so that everyone can benefit!"

"Fuyan Town is a well-known tourist destination, but everyone there works in the extremely arduous service industry, and the standard of living is not much higher than in other cities."

"And more and more hot spring towns are coming to compete for business..."

"But now everyone doesn't need to be afraid anymore, because we promise that we will never let outsiders take your jobs in the future, and your benefits and compensation will increase! increase! increase!"

"Increase! Increase! Increase!..."

"Children from LavaCleave Town will have priority access to gyms to learn and become excellent Pokémon Trainers!"

"Learn! Learn! Learn!..."

Thanks to Ash's exceptional oratory skills and charisma, almost everyone in Lavatown has become his devoted fan.

If he hadn't stopped them, they would have shouted "I'm so happy!"

However, based on his observations, Fuyan Town has great potential.

Xiao Zhi said to the officials.

"First, we must fully leverage the advantages of Fukama Town as a tourist destination and transportation hub, with the aim of becoming a well-known metropolis both within and outside Hoenn."

"We want to make LavaCity a place to showcase and compare the ideas behind Fire-type Pokémon battles."

"To become a medium for telling the story of Hoenn battles, spreading the voice of Hoenn battles, and contributing wisdom to Hoenn battles..."

His bureaucratic tone only made the officials of the underground town of Fuyan more convinced.

In fact, Ash designed LavaCity based on Cinnabar City, the holy land of Fire-type Pokémon in the Kanto region.

After all, the two cities have very similar foundations.

However, Crimson Island is world-renowned, and it will take considerable effort for Fubuki Town to develop into a town like it.

Of course, Ash is very confident that he can build LavaCity well.

"The existing metropolises are too complicated with intertwined power dynamics. Only when a town the size of Fuyan Town develops can I fully control it!"

Ash's various plans left Aysa bewildered, but out of trust in Ash, she decided to adopt them all.

Every night, lying in Ash's arms, Aysa's eyes were full of adoration for him.

“Miss Joey had previously suggested that I should put on a more authoritative stance and manage Furnace Town properly.”

"But at that time I had just taken over the dojo and was worried that I wasn't doing a good enough job, so I never paid attention to it."

"Now that you're so amazing, Ash, I'll listen to you no matter what!"

"Good boy, you are teachable."

As expected of a passionate girl who absorbed a lot of Ash's experience.

Although she is prone to getting carried away, her love for Pokémon and her character are exceptional.

"As long as you follow my plan, when your grandfather returns and sees the development of Fuyan Town, he will definitely look at you with new respect!"

"And as one of my people, I will also help you properly."

The Crimson Group's entire product line will naturally follow, along with resources from the Kingdom of Mirajutsu to help.

The sisters had already worked together last night, and Xiaozhi was very satisfied.

Autumnleaf Town and Blaze Town are both relatively close to the Kingdom of Miraju, so you can choose either one as the terminus for the Kingdom's major infrastructure project, the railway.

Now, Regent Ash has taken the lead and has repaired it to LavaCity.

As a tourist destination in itself, and with the added advantage of being a port for foreign trade, Fuyan Town has a very promising future.

Chapter 438 Groudon of Steel Valley

"In short, that's how it is. Now we're heading to Yinyu City!"

"Wait a minute, Ash! What do you mean 'that's how it is'? You didn't say anything when we left LavaCity!"

In the early morning forest, Ash and his friends, who had already left the tourist hotspot LavaCity, were happily having breakfast.

However, Ash suddenly remembered that when he was at the LavaCity Gym, he seemed to have been too focused on helping Azalea with her duties.

I forgot to tell Xiaoyao and the others about the upcoming plans, so I just brought it up at the breakfast table today.

Unlike Xiaoyao, who was still confused about the situation, Xiaosheng reacted instantly.

"If we go to Lush Green City, then we'll pass through Orange Blossom City!"

Xiao Zhi nodded. "That's right."

"I've already planned out the best route on the map from our current location to the Greenwood Gym, which will pass right through Petalburg City, your hometown, May."
