What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

Aine's long eyelashes trembled slightly, feeling extremely shy.

That's great, Ash! I love you!

Ash arrived at the outdoor battle arena and focused his attention on Karen.

One can sense... the powerful energy and confidence emanating from the other person, who is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of Carlos.

This was the first time Ash had encountered such a powerful opponent. His body was trembling, not from fear, but from excitement.

"Gardevoir, I'm leaving it to you!"

"Shauna!"

Karune threw out her Poké Ball with high spirits. It spun rapidly in the air, and in an instant, Gardevoir appeared on the battlefield.

"Gardevoir? Then our side is... Greninja, it's you I choose!"

"Kouga!!"

Ash excitedly reached out his hand and threw a Poké Ball.

Greninja instantly appeared on the ground, its sharp eyes fixed on Gardevoir ahead.

Their opponent was none other than Gardevoir, and Ash and Greninja's fighting spirit reached its peak.

It's said that Karney was able to sense Gardevoir's location through her bond with the trainer, meaning that the Gardevoir in front of her is quite formidable, a power born from the trainer's emotional connection.

This might make Ash and Greninja, who are slightly weaker, unable to compete.

"A battle of champions?!"

"It's so great to be able to see the champions' match in person!"

Cheers of support and questions arose from those around him. But Ash was completely absorbed in the intense atmosphere of the battle and paid no attention to any of this.

"I am Champion Karune, Ash. You don't need to be polite, just attack me."

Faced with this situation, Karuni calmly introduced herself.

"That's natural! Greninja uses a sneak attack on vital points!"

Xiao Zhi, full of fighting spirit, waved his hand forward.

"Kouga!!"

Greninja vanished from its spot in an instant, then reappeared in front of Gardevoir and Diantha.

It focused intently on its target, heading straight for Gardevoir.

A knife made of black and red energy appeared in his hand, its blade drawing an arc in the air.

This is the weak point of the ordinary Greninja's sneak attack, which is quite unsuitable for the high-speed Greninja.

However, Gardevoir and Karune were not intimidated by the sudden attack.

They exchanged a glance and nodded. Just as Greninja's longsword was about to pierce Gardevoir, Gardevoir leaped lightly, skillfully dodging the fatal blow.

"Kouga! Kouga! Kougaga~~!"

Greninja kept charging at Gardevoir, each charge accompanied by a powerful gust of wind, seemingly tearing the air apart.

But Gardevoir moved lightly across the battlefield like a dance, easily dodging every attack from Greninja.

"Teleport."

Just as Greninja launched its charge again, Karune gave the command without the slightest hesitation.

Gardevoir suddenly vanished from the battlefield, and the next moment, it appeared behind Greninja.

"Right there, use the power of the moon!"

Gardevoir raised its hands, and the power of moonlight gathered in its palms. The image of the moon quietly appeared behind it, and the pink energy ball in its hands gradually took shape. Without hesitation, it launched the energy ball straight at Greninja.

Seeing this, Ash could roughly understand the difference in strength between Karyl and Gardevoir.

She has the same feeling as Aine, but she's not as bad as Aine. In other words, the two are very similar. She has the ability that only exists when a certain attribute is taken to its extreme, just like Alice.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that this is an ability that only trainers can develop to the extreme.

Wait... how did Aine, who's so bad at it, learn to play?!

[Maybe he learned it because he missed you so much!]

Stop acting crazy!

Xiao Zhi didn't care too much about it; he just thought... his girl was really amazing!

They are definitely the best!

I love them so much!

"Greninja, use Water Shuriken to cut through Moon Power!!"

"Kouga!!" Greninja's speed was unbelievable. Facing Gardevoir's Moon Power, it did not hesitate at all and completed a swift turn.

In that instant, it released several water shurikens from its hand, which sliced ​​through the air and collided violently with the power of the moon.

As the shuriken pierced the energy ball, the surrounding trees were uprooted and sand and gravel were swept into the air.

Greninja stood in the center of the storm, its body slightly leaning forward, its eyes fixed intently on Gardevoir.

"Garde..." Gardevoir was knocked back a few steps by the sudden storm, and its Moon Power was broken by Greninja's Shuriken.

"He's at the level of one of the Four Heavenly Kings... No, wait, this feeling... it seems that the boy is still hiding something. Is he unwilling to unleash his full potential? Or is it..."

Watching this scene, Karuni couldn't help but start to think things through. Her gaze drifted to Vladari, who was leaving for some unknown reason, and she sensed that something was amiss.

The moment Lydalli left, Ash's fighting spirit seemed to increase, as if he were wary of his opponent.

Interesting... Let me see your full power!

Karuni didn't think about it too much, but focused her attention on the battle.

This was the first time she had seen a boy who could pique her interest like this, and Karuni definitely wanted to focus on the battle!

370 Z2 captured.

An explosion resounded through the heavens and the earth, like a thunderclap in a dark world, echoing in every corner.

"Uh-huh!"

Dozens of green rays gathered in the water, converging to release a unique glow. These rays gradually formed the shape of a Doberman Pinscher, its eyes becoming hexagonal shapes gleaming white. Its body markings were green hexagonal.

On the vast plains, pursued by Team Flare, Zygarde's health dropped to 10%.

Unfortunately, this time they didn't completely defeat Team Flare like last time; instead, they were being chased by Team Flare.

The main reason is that... during the long pursuit of Zygarde, Team Flare's Kutherosch developed a beam that could break down cells, causing Zygarde to be unable to maintain his condition.

"Dragon Head Groundhog, use the straight-through drill!" At this moment, the woman in protective clothing did not miss the opportunity.

"Dori!!" On the battlefield where the fierce battle was raging, the dragon-headed ground squirrel appeared particularly brave. Its body, like a precision drill, spun rapidly, carrying immense kinetic energy, and launched a fierce attack on Zygarde.

Despite his strength, Zygarde was still sent flying by the onslaught, crashing heavily to the ground, raising dust and shaking the surrounding area.

"Now! Everyone, use the Disintegration Ray!"

At that moment, the members of Team Flare launched an attack without missing a beat.

Holding special pistols capable of unleashing disintegrating rays, they coldly aimed at the already exhausted Zygarde.

A series of extremely destructive beams shot out, accurately striking Zygarde and gradually stripping him of his remaining power.

"Ugh..." After enduring such an attack, Zygarde's core began to show signs of instability. Its activity level dropped sharply, its cells returned to their original positions, and it eventually lost all ability to resist, transforming into its core state, lying quietly on the ground, no longer moving.

Zygarde is indeed powerful, but once he reverts to his original form, his power is no longer relevant.

If this were a legendary Pokémon, Zygarde's biggest weakness would be...

"what is that..."

On her journey to find Kagura Hikari, Karen only sees Team Flare imprisoning Zygarde from Z2 with a barrier-like object.

This is undoubtedly a crime scene.

If we don't escape beforehand, we'll be discovered.

However, Karen developed a desire to move forward, and her good friend Kagura Hikaru was probably connected to them.

In other words... I have to contact my boyfriend!

Although Karen didn't want to involve Ash in this kind of incident, she knew Ash's nature and knew he wouldn't stand idly by!

Since that's the case, then as Ash's lover, she has to make up her mind.

"Let's ask Ash for help first..."

Hua Lian quickly took her phone out of her pocket, just as she was about to make a call.

"Guren~" The Crimson Lotus Knight beside him made a wary sound, quickly turned around, and saw the woman in protective clothing rushing towards him.

"So fast?!"

Hua Lian stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

They were just a moment ago in the distant wilderness, how could they have arrived in front of them so quickly?!

Could it be that the woman in front of her is a complete novice like her boyfriend?!

"Little Red Lotus, use the Cleansing Smoke!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Hua Lian made the most reasonable judgment at this moment.

That is... escape!

“guren!”

In an instant, the Crimson Knight transformed his arm armor into a cannon muzzle, extending the armored cannon forward and releasing a burst of smoke that blurred the vision of the woman in the protective suit, making it impossible for her to see where she was going.

When the smoke cleared, Karen and the Crimson Knight had disappeared from the scene, leaving only their footprints as the only clue.

"They acted very quickly."

The woman in the protective suit... Esprit deftly activated the communication device on her wrist and began contacting her superior.

"Report, Z2 has been captured... but there are witnesses. Should we pursue it?"

"Eliminate her, and eliminate all destabilizing factors for the sake of our Flame Team's plans."

"learn."

The voice transmitted through the communication device spurred Esprit to start moving again, her body surging forward like a torrent at a speed far exceeding that of a human.

"We absolutely have to contact Ash."

Karen, relying on her physical abilities as a stage girl, keeps running forward.

But the voice behind her made her start to panic, and even the hand holding the phone trembled.

The woman easily defeated the monster-like (50% Zygarde) Pokémon without any panic, which even made Karen feel scared.

How can I escape from such an opponent?

Can contacting Xiaozhi really solve the problem?

Xiao Zhi: Trust me, trust doesn't need a reason!

"No, I have to try my best too... Ash will never give up on me!"

Recalling Ash's words from the past, Karen made up her mind and began to contact Ash.

...

Vladali is gone?!

Since that's the case, then I'll show a little of my strength and fight the champion!

Noticing that Team Flare's leader, Frostleaf, had left, Ash kept his eyes fixed on Gardevoir not far away, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Greninja, Shadow Sneak Attack!

Xiao Zhi naturally didn't say those words aloud.

It's very difficult to defeat Gardevoir against a Champion-level opponent without using Bond Pact.

As an undefeated...

Hmm... I got blown up by the lighthouse's Kasuga Kage!
