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

Did I run into a monster?!

Suddenly, N felt a sense of fear of the unknown.

"Yes, Ash is right! Waaah~~ I'm really growing to love Ash more and more! Marry me! Teach me how to get along with Pokémon every day!"

Heartstrings clung tightly to Ash's arm, her Dynamaxed chest pressed against his crook of the arm.

His eyes were filled with a wondrous feeling for Ash.

Ash's unusually high favorability rating and behavior always made him think that he was being targeted by something strange.

"Since that's the case... let's have a Pokémon battle... If you want me to agree, let's settle this with a Pokémon battle!"

703 Snake vs. Riolu

N was unaware that under Ash's verbal attacks, his heart had become wavering and uneasy, and he had been completely affected.

They even engaged in unreasonable behavior, wanting to understand each other's thoughts through Pokémon battles.

He reached into his pocket, took out a Poké Ball, and summoned the Pokémon he had temporarily brought from the Unova region.

"Go! Green Vine Serpent!!"

"Jia!!"

Snivy: The evolved form of Snivy from the Unova region.

A blue, snake-like Pokémon appeared on the ground, its face displaying a disdainful expression.

"Riolus, I choose you!"

"Ow!"

Ash resolutely threw the Poké Ball, and Riolu appeared on the ground.

Finally, we can battle Pokémon!

Ash was getting impatient!

As for battling opponents of higher levels, that's not a problem at all. With Ash's Aura and Riolu's innate talent, Ash has complete trust in Riolu.

Riolu's current moves are: Vacuum Wave, Bullet Punch, and Imitation.

"Ash, I'll take care of you during battles, Little Dumbbell... Waaah~~ Don't run away~~"

String Heart held Iron Dumbbell in its arms, but Iron Dumbbell had no intention of paying attention to it and quickly slipped away from its embrace.

"Vine whip!"

N didn't want to admit or acknowledge Ash's words, and at that moment he appeared extremely aggressive.

His posture was quite different from his usual one.

"Jia-jia!" Two dark green vine whips silently emerged from under the yellow collar beside the Green Vine Serpent's neck, launching an attack on Riolu.

"Awooo!" However, Riolu had anticipated the location of the vine whip's attack. The moment the vine whip touched it, it nimbly leaped up, easily dodging the attack.

Ash had already told Riolu the predicted attack location using Aura, so Riolu was able to easily dodge the opponent's moves.

"Green Vine Serpent, unleash your ramming attack!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi was about to lose his composure.

Are you even going to crash into them?! Do you even understand Pokémon battles?!

"Vacuum waves strike back!"

"Jia!!"

The Green Vine Snake lunged swiftly at Riolu.

"Awooo!!" Instantly, Riolu released a vacuum wave from its hand. The vacuum wave rolled in the air and directly attacked the Blue Vine Snake, knocking it back several steps.

"Bullet punch!"

Riolu reacted quickly, following the Vacuum Wave with a Bullet Punch. Slug was sent flying backward, crashing into the ground with a loud thud.

"what?!"

There was no chance to react at all. N stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

Why? The Green Vine Serpent is clearly stronger, yet it was the Green Vine Serpent that was suppressed.

"Charge! Green Vine Serpent, use Swallow Return!"

"Jia!" The Green Vine Serpent's hands burst forth with dazzling light, closing in on Riolu's figure with lightning speed.

"Aww?!"

At the last second, thanks to its excellent reaction and waveguide prediction, Riolu narrowly escaped the attack.

"Riolus, follow suit!"

Imitate [Variation Move]: Mimic the move your opponent just used and execute the same move. You will fail if your opponent hasn't made a move yet.

In addition, the mischievous nature of the character allows for the instant use of Swallow Return.

Mischievous Heart: Allows you to use a variation move first.

"Awooo!!" Riolu quickly adjusted its posture, releasing a dazzling light from its hands just like that of Seviper.

Gathering all his strength, he delivered a powerful punch to the head of the Green Vine Serpent.

boom! !

"Jia~~~"

The light and power intertwined, slamming the Green Vine Serpent to the ground, raising dust and leaving a noticeable dent in the earth.

"Don't let it rise, unleash the vacuum wave!"

"Awooo!" Riolu leaped high into the air, gathering its strength in its hands to create a vortex of energy. This energy spun faster and faster, forming a powerful force that attacked Seviper.

"Riolu, bullet punch!"

“Ouch!!”

Riolu swung its arm, unleashing a powerful bullet punch. This attack was both fast and fierce, striking the Viper like a relentless storm.

"Jia~~"

Unable to withstand the fierce attack, the green vine snake was slammed against the wall, fell heavily, and lost consciousness.

Upon seeing this, N froze on the spot.

He could sense a strong competitive spirit and extremely strong feelings for Ash from his Riolu.

But he failed to see the Green Vine Serpent struggling to get up, and he lost the battle.

"Now you understand, right? The feelings between me and Riolu, and the false feelings between you, you haven't seen through Snake at all."

Xiao Zhi didn't pay too much attention to N itself.

He valued N's father more, the leader of Team Plasma, Quidditch.

He is the de facto leader of the plasma team, while the young man in front of him has no real power.

"...Those people will never understand!"

N reluctantly glanced to the right, then clenched his fist and slammed it against the wall.

The trainer on his right was bothering him, and Ash's words left him bewildered.

"It's an Iron Dumbbell! Subdue it quickly!"

"Go! Pidgeotto, use Quick Attack!"

"Abalone, Poison Sting!"

"Baru~~~"

By this time, the Shiny Iron Dumbbell that had broken free of its core had been discovered, and the trainers began to relentlessly attack the Pokémon.

The goal is to subdue a quasi-god and become the tournament champion.

"Little dumbbell! Wait...don't attack the little dumbbell!"

Xian Juanxin was caught in the crowd, her smile completely swallowed up by the flow of people.

They even tried to explain something, but due to the large number of people and Pokémon, the situation was too chaotic, and they were about to be attacked by Pokémon moves.

"Yes, some things are indeed hard to change, but that doesn't mean forever!"

"Um?!"

After responding to N, Xiao Zhi rushed straight into the crowd.

"Are you okay?"

Ash grabbed Shin's hand, who was about to be attacked by Razor Leaf, then leaned close to her and easily lifted her up. His arms were tightly wrapped around her waist.

His hands held her body firmly, allowing her to lean comfortably in his arms.

"Ah..." Kokoro's body trembled slightly, perhaps due to nervousness or shock.

However, when her body touched Ash's embrace, she felt a strange peace and tranquility.

As Kokoro's face rested against Satoshi's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, her emotions gradually calmed down, and a grateful smile appeared on her face.

I love it! Ash, I really love him!

"It's alright! Ash, instead of worrying about me, go help Little Dumbbell!"

"It's alright, someone has already gone to help."

Ash looked down at Kokoro and gently stroked her hair before turning his gaze to Beldum.

704 Yukina and the Battlefield of the Heart

Just as Iron Dumbbell was being attacked by various moves, a cold female voice suddenly rang out.

"Emperor Napo, hold on!"

"Nabo!"

Just as the moves were about to completely surround the Iron Dumbbell, Emperor Naboo's sudden appearance broke the tense atmosphere.

It sped towards us from afar, stopped abruptly beside Iron Dumbbell, and then released a powerful burst of green energy.

"Um?!"

"wall?!"

"who?!"

The energy shield formed by this surge of power radiated outwards from around Emperor Naboo, creating an invisible barrier that effectively isolated the besieged crowd.

This instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of those around her, but Yushina's expression did not change at all.

It's normal for rare Pokémon to attract trainers to attack them, but the scale of this attack in Cerulean City was simply too large for Yushi to ignore. More importantly, her good friend was asking her for help.

As for who her best friend is?!

That boyfriend is in the running!

Upon seeing her boyfriend's best friend embracing an unknown girl, Yuki instinctively squeezed her phone so tightly it cracked.

Ash, I'm here listening to you and protecting Iron Dumbbell, while you're over there flirting with girls, huh?!

Isn't this going too far?!

Right now, Yuki really wants to smash her phone at Satoshi!

Yuki sighed softly, feeling helpless.

He then went to Emperor Naboo's side and protected the iron dumbbell.

"This Pokémon has been caught by someone else. If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you."

Yushina gently touched the Poké Ball to Beldum, and red light filled Beldum's body before dissipating.

This indicates that the Pokémon has already been caught by someone else.

"That's it!"

"Let's disperse, let's disperse~~"

Under normal circumstances, a responsible trainer would never steal another person's Pokémon.
