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

"Infernape, unleash a barrage of furious punches!"

Upon hearing Ash's command, Primeape quickly made two 9-1 gestures at the Onix in front of it before throwing a punch.

"The attack power is quite good, Onix, let's hold on and use Harden!"

Under the attack of the Infernape, Onix gritted its teeth and stood upright like a pillar supporting the sky, becoming harder and harder.

But Infernape still managed to unleash a series of furious punches with his skillful technique.

Finally, the giant onyx let out a cry, shed tears, and collapsed.

[Ding! Fiery Monkey: Affection +2; Intimacy +2]

Sure enough, after the number of Furious Punches was used up, Infernape's body began to glow.

"Great! It really evolved!" Ash exclaimed excitedly as he watched his evolving Primeape.

The evolved Abandoned Monkey has darker hands, feet, and face, and its fur is longer and flows upwards.

But he still had that same angry expression.

Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Quartz Conference Officially Opens!

After Primeape evolved, Ash accepted Shiba's invitation to visit his training facility.

Unexpectedly, the Four Heavenly Kings lived in a cave full of rocks.

Moreover, they use all-natural methods for eating, drinking, living, and traveling.

"Wow, that's incredibly hard-working. Is this the kind of life you have to live to become a powerful trainer?" Xiaoxia thought to herself, and she still couldn't quite accept it if she were to live that kind of life.

"Haha, no need. This is just my personal method of tempering my will. You don't need to follow my example."

Shiba is indeed someone who likes to mentor younger people. After helping Ash's Primeape evolve, he also taught him some knowledge about Fighting Pokémon.

"The best way to train a Fighting Pokémon is to battle it yourself!"

"Only by personally experiencing the power of the opponent's punch can we make the best plan for the next training session."

"The bond between humans and Pokémon will be strengthened in such exciting battles!"

Xiao Zhi nodded repeatedly, agreeing that this was exactly what he was thinking.

"Really?" Xiaoxia stared blankly at the two muscular men in front of her, their magnetic fields seemingly resonating.

As Shiba spoke, he got emotional and unleashed his signature fast-paced punching style, giving a live demonstration of his fighting skills.

"Truly worthy of being one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Fighting, their bodies are so robust!"

From the fight between Shiba and Hitmonchan, Ash could sense that Shiba's physical strength as a normal human had reached an unbelievable level.

It turns out that besides myself, there really is someone else who can withstand a Pokémon's million-ton punch!

"Remember that there are always people better than you, and you must never be arrogant or conceited."

"No, I don't think anyone among humans is stronger than Ash." Misty couldn't help but refute Ash when he was expressing his feelings.

However, Xiaoxia cannot say that Xiaozhi's idea is wrong. The Pokémon world is too big, and no one has been able to explore the whole world yet.

Every year, a large number of unknown Pokémon are discovered, and in new regions, there might even be incredibly strong Saiyan races.

Watching Shiba battle with the Pokémon, Ash's interest was piqued, and he released Forsaken to join the fight.

Upon seeing this, Shiba also showed an expression that said, "This kid is teachable."

[Ding! Shiba, one of the Four Heavenly Kings: Affection +2]

"They truly represent the future of the league!"

Misty, who was watching the game while holding Togepi, seemed to have heard this phrase from many people.

Ash and his Pokémon clashed fiercely, and after a powerful "Friendship Cross Punch," Forsaken collapsed to the ground.

He once again proclaimed his power.

The bond between humans and Pokémon deepens at this moment!

[Ding! Abandoned Monkey: Favorability +2; Intimacy +2]

[Abandoned Monkey: Affection and intimacy levels have reached maximum!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Attack +2; Skill: Cross Cleave]

------------

It's been a month and a half since I returned to Pallet Town to begin my special training.

Ash basically trained all of his Pokémon.

His Charizard finally raised both Senses to their maximum value through daily sweeping of wild Pokémon.

[Ding! Charizard: Affection +2; Intimacy +2]

[Charizard: Affection and intimacy have reached maximum!]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Attack +2; Skill: Flame Fang]

"Roar!"

Ash was also happy to see Charizard excitedly firing its flames everywhere after defeating its opponent once again.

At this moment, Xiaoxia came over and reminded Xiaozhi, who was still grinning foolishly, not to forget the important matter of today.

"Ash, it's about time we set off to find Professor Oak."

"Oh, are we leaving now?"

"Nonsense! If we don't leave early, do you think we can make it to the competition at our current speed?"

They grabbed Ash by the ear and headed straight to Professor Oak's lab.

"You haven't left yet? Gary left two weeks ago." Professor Oak was surprised as he took out the map.

"What?! Why didn't that bastard remind me?"

"He did come, but you two started arguing as soon as you met. It was the girl in Xiaomao's car who reminded me of the time," Xiaoxia added, adding a scene that Xiaozhi has no memory of.

"Oh, that's not important, let's get going."

When they left the town, Hanako came out to see them off as well.

"Go for it, Xiaozhi! Mom and the other townspeople will watch TV together to cheer you on!"

"There's no need to go to such lengths." Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we accidentally lost?

After saying goodbye to Hanako's mother, they officially embarked on their journey to the Quartz Plateau.

The journey was relatively smooth without any major problems. After all, it was a route that many trainers had taken, and as long as you followed the path, you wouldn't get lost.

Along the way, Ash also met many other trainers who, like him, had collected eight badges and were heading to Indigo Plateau to participate in the League Tournament.

After a tense journey, Ash and his friends finally arrived at the Indigo Plateau convention venue on time the day before the convention began.

Head straight to the reception area of ​​the venue, hand over your badge and Pokédex to the receptionist for registration, and you'll officially qualify for the competition.

The benefits of the League Tournament are quite good. Not only can each player stay in the player village for free, but even their companions can stay together.

During this period, all meals were provided by the alliance, with unlimited buffet meals available every day.

"I can never repay the president's kindness!"

Xiao Zhi was overjoyed, thinking he could take advantage of the situation again.

On the second day of the torch relay, Ash was invited by the chairman to help pass on the torch because of his outstanding appearance and good reputation.

This was Ash's first time meeting Chairman Damaranchi. He looked a bit like Master Roshi from Dragon Ball, but with hair and a more benevolent appearance.

"He looks like an ordinary old man. Is this the man Giovanni has been fighting with for so long?"

Maybe the student council president can transform like Master Roshi.

With his help, Xiaozhi successfully achieved his first television appearance.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest "You, the athlete, get to work!": Participate in the torch relay]

[Rewards: Alliance Coins +1200; Free Attribute Points +2; Region Favorability +1; Region Reputation +1]

Now, Xiao Zhi will do any task he can complete immediately, and he doesn't save up his free attribute points anymore; he just adds them as soon as he gets them.

Every bit of improvement is a bonus.

The torch relay went smoothly as no Team Rocket came to cause trouble.

Just think how bold Meowth and his friends are; they dare to jump out and cause trouble in a place full of trainers.

All the participating trainers gathered in the large square in front of the torch.

His next opponent might be among them, and Ash saw many familiar faces in the crowd.

"Damn it, Shigeru... It's amazing that Jun actually made it to the League Tournament, and there's also Beast Tamer Ming from Cerulean City..."

He even saw Sundae from the Pokémon Academy.

"This is getting more and more exciting!"

After the Olympic flame was lit, the president of the Kanto Alliance, Tama Lanqi, delivered the opening speech.

"The Pokémon League is a place where trainers who truly love Pokémon can hone their skills and battle together."

"The sacred flame of Moltres will protect all Pokémon trainers, so give it your all and fight a battle you won't regret."

The president's speech was unexpectedly brief.

The celebration for all the powerful individuals who have collected eight or more badges now officially begins.

Chapter 88 Venue Draw and New Opportunities to Make Money

On the day the competition officially began, Ash got up early, first defeating Uncle Chen with Misty's help, and then headed straight for the most important destination—

canteen!

This is free, and Xiao Zhi absolutely cannot miss any opportunity to save money.

Although Ash was a little nervous before the competition, he had a big appetite at breakfast and ate enough for five people.

"Xiaoxia, aren't you going to drink your milk?"

"My jaw is killing me, and I never want to drink anything related to milk again!"

Xiaoxia glared at him and handed her breakfast to Xiaozhi.

He really didn't stand on ceremony and just ate it.

Just then, a voice came.

"Seeing that you can still eat so much, like a glutton, makes me feel relieved."

The arrogant tone is that of a familiar character.

"Idiot Xiao Mao, you're here for breakfast too?"

"Of course not, don't mistake me for you!"

Xiao Mao took out a number plate and showed it to Xiao Zhi.

"This is the number plate I just got after drawing lots for the venue. Today's first match is the Rock Battlefield."

The preliminary rounds of the Quartz Tournament involve drawing lots in the central hall to determine the battle venue.

The tournament features four types of battle arenas: rocks, grass, water, and ice.

All battles will be fought in a 3v3 format.

Only after winning the battles in the four aforementioned venues can the match proceed to the main stadium for the official competition, starting from the fifth round.

"I'm going to prepare for the next match. You can continue drowning yourself in your rice bucket." With a wave of his hand, Xiao Mao left with his girlfriends.

This kid came to remind Ash not to forget to draw a battlefield, but the way he talks is still so annoying.

Looking at the time, the draw for the preliminary rounds must be completed half an hour before the start of the first match.

With half an hour left, Xiaozhi quickly finished his breakfast and dragged Xiaoxia to the front desk in the lobby.

In the center of the hall is a display board engraved with the four venue signs.
