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

At the same time... Genjuro Shin's mindset began to get serious!

721 The Rich Woman's Ace - Sai Fuhao

Tsurumaki knew she had to be a little serious, otherwise... she wouldn't be able to bring Ash home and get married!

She really, really, really loves Ash!

So we absolutely cannot lose!

"Flaming Horse, Spiritual Blade!!"

"Ropu—!" Rapidash tilted its head to one side and flung a materialized psychic blade from its horn, which flew towards Charizard for a slashing attack.

The mental blade, like a sharp sword, tore through the air and hurtled towards the Charizard.

"Dodge it, then rush in and unleash Shadow Claw!"

"Roar!" Charmeleon moved quickly to dodge the attack.

Its body moved nimbly across the ground, dodging the attacks of the fiery horse.

Then, Charmeleon quickly arrived in front of Rapidash, charged up from below, and struck Rapidash's chin with its claw.

"Ropu~~~" The force of that claw strike was immense. The Fiery Horse was hit and staggered back several steps, letting out a painful wail. Its body swayed precariously, clearly having suffered considerable injury.

"Use Shadow Claw again!"

"Super Corner Strike!"

Ash and Heart gave their commands almost simultaneously, both solely focused on winning.

The two Pokémon closed in on each other, unleashing their moves simultaneously. Charmeleon's hands erupted with dark energy, while Rapidash's horns emitted light.

boom!

The horns and shadow claws collided in mid-air with a loud bang.

Bang bang bang! Boom boom boom!

"Ropu!" "Hoo-hoo!!"

Charmeleon's Shadow Claw and Rapidash's Super Horn Strike collided repeatedly, each attack bringing tremendous destructive power.

However... in terms of speed, Charmeleon is clearly inferior to Rapidash.

After several collisions, Super Horn Slam hit Charmeleon in the abdomen.

"Roar..." Charmander felt a sharp pain, but it endured the pain and did not back down.

Despite the pain, it fiercely attacked the Fiery Horse with its Shadow Claws.

We must win! We absolutely cannot lose our first gym battle!

I... am very strong!

Encouraging himself internally, Charizard's tail ignited with even hotter, more powerful flames.

Fierce!

Blazing Inferno: When HP decreases, the power of fire-type moves increases.

"Hoo-hoo—!"

“ropu~~~”

The black energy claws tore through the air, pierced through the Flame Horse's defenses, and caused it substantial damage.

"Don't give it a chance, unleash your flamethrower!"

Upon seeing Blaze, Ash didn't hesitate to give the final command.

"Roar—!" Charizard leaped high into the air, spewing forth a torrent of flames that engulfed Rapidash.

The fiery horse was engulfed in flames, and it felt a sharp pain. The intense heat of the flames rendered it unable to fight, and it collapsed to the ground, howling in agony, completely exhausted.

"Such a strong will..."

The female referee in black was stunned for a few seconds upon seeing this scene before announcing the match schedule.

"Rapidronaut, unable to fight, Charmeleon wins!"

"Yay! Charmander, you did a great job!"

"Hoo-hoo~~~"

Charmeleon excitedly returned to Ash's side, and Ash gently stroked its head.

After last night's hard training and all the hard work along the way, Charmander has become more composed and confident.

"Good job, Rapidash! Ash and Charmeleon are both all smiles! Great, from now on, my Pokémon is... this kid!"

A pink heart appeared in Tsurumaki's eyes, and she resolutely threw out the Poké Ball.

A burst of golden light emanated from the Poké Ball, gradually fading to reveal a Pokémon with an entirely golden body, its skin shimmering like gold.

Saifuhao [Steel + Ghost]: It is said that its body is made up of 1000 coins. It enjoys being close to people and can immediately get along with anyone.

“Fugo~” Sai Fuhao raised his head, revealed a friendly smile, stepped on a golden skateboard, and glided across the battlefield, leaving a golden trail.

"The second one is Saifuru?... They even have this Pokémon?"

Even Ash was momentarily stunned upon seeing this Pokémon.

Cypher is a versatile, all-around fighter with a balanced and excellent racial composition. He possesses S-rank attributes—Ghost and Steel—and boasts outstanding resistances and a superior attack range.

In addition, it possesses an S-class characteristic—Golden Body. Although its speed is only 84, which is somewhat mediocre, this is not enough to overshadow its other outstanding features.

It's number 1000 in Pokémon, a truly prestigious Pokémon!

Wait... isn't this the Fairy-type Gym?

No, Xiao Gang's trump cards are all Steelix (steel and ground-based), so it's okay!

"Ash! After I win, you have to meet my family, okay? Then we can both celebrate together!"

A look of delight sparkled in Xian Juan's eyes; she had absolute confidence in Sai Fuhao.

"No problem! Charmeleon, you can still battle, right?"

"Hoo!"

Ash and Charmeleon exchanged a glance, then rallied their spirits.

"Wha...what?!"

Lan couldn't help but feel anxious.

What... what does "meeting the parents" mean?!

Wait a minute, after meeting the parents, will this rich woman take Xiaozhi under her wing?!

Holy crap! How did your words hit me so hard?!

"Go for it, Ash!"

Lan shouted out, her cheeks slightly flushed, hoping that Ash and Charmeleon would knock that rich, stinky woman to the ground.

"..."

Yuki, on the other hand, remained calm, but because of the goodwill she had felt last night, strange thoughts kept popping into her mind.

If Xiaozhi really gets taken away by her, then I'll just steal him away from the wedding.

Ash is a major rival of mine, and I absolutely cannot waste my time in a place like this!

To reach the top, I need Ash as a formidable rival!

So... let me steal the bride!

At this moment, Yukina couldn't help but feel restless and began to look forward to it.

I really don't have any strange ideas!

He simply wants to be Ash's rival for life!

"Fire dinosaur, shoot flames!"

"Roar—!" A burst of blazing flame shot out from the mouth of the Charizard and rushed towards Saifuhao.

Since Cyclone is a Steel-type, Fire-type moves are extremely effective, and with the boost from Blaze, Ash is confident he can defeat Cyclone.

"Hehe~ Ash... I won't let you defeat Saifu so easily! Well then, Saifu, let Ash see our smiles!"

Xian Juanxin took out a Taijing Bead from her pocket and threw it at Sai Fuhao. The bead made contact with Sai Fuhao's body, and Sai Fuhao was instantly transformed into Taijing.

"Too crystalline?!"

Ash was inevitably shocked to see this.

Why does he feel like the difficulty of every dojo he encounters is increasing?!

Mega Steelix, Mega Gyarados, and Mega Crystal Serpent.

722 Pikachu VS Taijing Sai Fuhao

Is this really the kind of beating a newbie trainer in Kanto should be doing?!

That's too much for us newbie trainers!

"fugo!!"

After crystallization, the Cypher was rejuvenated, its body covered with a layer of crystal-clear pink gemstones, sparkling like a cut gem.

After crystallization, a heart-shaped crystal gem appeared on the head of the Cypher, and its body surface radiated pink light.

In its crystallized state, Cypher becomes a Fairy-type, and Charmeleon's fire attacks seem to have no effect on it.

“Fugo~~” Sai Fuhao emerged from the flames.

"Charmeleon, use Dig!"

"Don't give it a chance, Saifuhao, let's use Magic Flash here!"

"fugo—!"

Countless dazzling rays of light emanated from Cypher's body, illuminating the entire battlefield. These rays struck Charizard, whose body trembled amidst the layers of flashes, and it let out a mournful cry.

"Roar~~~" Charmeleon's body was enveloped in light, its energy gradually being consumed within this light. Charmeleon struggled to stand up, but its strength was exhausted, and it collapsed to the ground, unable to fight.

Even a less effective move like Dazzling Magic from this type is something Charmeleon can't withstand right now.

After the Crystal Fairy, the fairy moves will be 1.5 times stronger, plus the attack power from before... Little Intelligence understands that this Cyclops is very strong.

It's probably... stronger than his Ursaring and Gengar, even surpassing Rillaboom and Blaziken.

In this case...

"Pikachu, it's you who decides!"

Ash's boiling point had reached its peak, and he swung his hand forward.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu jumped onto the battlefield, its fighting spirit blazing as it stared intently at Cypher, golden lightning emanating from its Electric Sac.

"A flash of lightning!"

Pikachu was instantly enveloped in visible white energy and rammed into its opponent at peak speed.

“fugo~~”

In that instant, white energy intertwined in the air. The moment of impact caused Cypher to take a step back, while Pikachu floated in mid-air, its body trembling from the clash of forces.

Being a Fairy-type means that Normal and Fighting types can hit Mega Evolutions, so Ash isn't really at a disadvantage here.

"Sai Fuhao, Shadow Ball!"

As Shin swung her hand forward, the smile that always graced her lips had completely transformed into the joy of battling Ash.

I really want... that kind of thrill of battling Ash!

She desperately wanted to battle Ash!

Even the itching on the body is unbearable.

Shin: I guess... only Ash can satisfy me!

"Fugo!" A ball of dark purple energy gathered in Saifu's hand, forming a Shadow Ball, which he launched at Pikachu.

The Shadow Ball, carrying terrifying power, rapidly approached Pikachu.
