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

Quixote sensed something was wrong; he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

The three energies of the three-headed dragon erupted from its mouth, surging into a turbulent purple-blue shockwave that struck its opponent.

"Pikachu, one hundred thousand volts!"

"Pikachu!!" Pikachu flew over and unleashed a Thunderbolt.

The energy wave collided with Pikachu's Thunderbolt in mid-air, instantly bursting into a dazzling light.

The dragon's energy surges and the electric current collide and resist each other.

But Ash's attacks were far more than that.

"Ancient Sword Leopard, it's you I choose!"

Ash's boiling point had reached its peak. He swung his hand forward and threw a Poké Ball.

"Baojian!" The ancient sword leopard leaped into the wide open space, and instantly, its limbs were filled with a cold aura.

This aura was like a biting cold wind, causing the other Pokémon present to shiver involuntarily, feeling the intense chill emanating from the Ancient Leopard.

Special ability: Sword of Calamity activated!

Sword of Calamity: Uses the power of a sword that can summon calamity to lower the defense of Pokémon other than yourself.

"Ice Whirlwind!"

"Baojian!!" The Ancient Sword Leopard's body began to spin rapidly, its movements fluid and powerful, as if it had stirred up the surrounding air to form an ice tornado.

The tornado, carrying icy energy, hurtled toward the three-headed dragon with unstoppable force.

"Roar~~~" Faced with such an attack, the three-headed dragon was unable to respond effectively for a moment.

The Ancient Sword Leopard's ice tornado violently struck the three-headed dragon's body, causing the dragon to lose its balance and crash heavily to the ground.

"What?! It's this strong?! Are monsters all around it?!"

Quixote's eyes widened, and his arrogance vanished completely.

"Pikachu, don't give him a chance, play rough!"

"Pickup!!"

The newborn Guinea pig was clearly not strong enough, and Ash wanted to have Pikachu finish it off.

"Pikachu pikachu~!" "Hoo-hoo..."

Under Pikachu's playful antics, Hydreigon collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

That leaves only Team Plasma's leader, Quidditch!

During the battle, Ghettoshi only used one Pokémon, which made Ash even more cautious in his decision-making, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Wow, Ash from Pallet Town is really strong, but you made a fatal mistake that allowed me to successfully carry out that plan!"

Ghettoss watched Ash cautiously as he recalled Hydreigon. A deep wariness, even fear, was evident in the middle-aged man's eyes.

He knew Ash and his Pokémon's strength well, so he had to be careful when facing them.

"A fatal mistake?!...What plan?!"

Ash frowned, clearly confused by Ghetto's words.

"That means... I can escape!! Goodbye!!!"

Quixote reached a shattered wall with unimaginable speed and jumped down without hesitation.

No!! You're the leader of the villains, right?!

Why are you so cowardly?!

"Huh?!" Ash exclaimed as he saw this, and hurriedly chased after it, eager to know where Gryphon was going.

However, when Ash arrived at the shattered wall, he was surprised to find that Ghetto was standing steadily on the deck of a frigate.

Plasma Destroyers: Serving as the primary transportation supply for the Plasma Squadron, these destroyers are powered by solar panels. Conventional energy is useless when the Unova region is covered in ice. However, they are actually frigates. This is a type of light surface combatant; in the age of sail, it referred to small to medium-sized gunboats, inferior in tonnage and firepower to destroyers.

The frigate hovered in mid-air, and Quixote appeared to be unharmed and safe.

"Soon, our Team Plasma King will demonstrate to the people of Kanto the power of a Champion who surpasses even the Pokémon that are bound! Then, like the heroes who founded Unova, he will command the legendary Pokémon and give orders!"

"Ash from Pallet Town! Our King will take care of you in Dragon City!!"

Standing atop the frigate, using this secure platform, Quixote began to announce his villainous plans to his followers.

"My fellow countrymen, run at full speed!! Get away from that monster!!!"

"Yes!"×N

The frigate floating in mid-air immediately activated, carrying Ghidorah away from Ash and taking him out of the battle.

"Is it Reshiram and Zekrom? Or... Kyurem is in there too? Was that blizzard brought by Kyurem?... I have a feeling things are getting a lot more complicated."

Suddenly, Xiaozhi felt a slight headache, but he still tried to sort out his thoughts and emotions.

Although the matter at hand is of utmost importance, Ash is more concerned about his Pokémon and his good friends.

736 Lan: I like Xiao Zhi, he's my favorite!

Their safety was his top priority.

Not to mention that Cynthia was running a high fever before, so her arrival now is bound to attract Ash's attention.

"Woo..."

By this time, Ran Mitake had already taken care of the remaining members of Team Plasma. After all, with their leader fleeing, morale had collapsed, and no one had time to fight anymore; they could only run away.

"Haaaaah~ Haaaah~" Ran Mitake gasped for breath, her face flushed, clearly due to fever and weakness. Her knees began to bend, and she looked as if she might collapse to the ground at any moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi rushed forward and hugged Mei Zhu Lan tightly in his arms.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, leaving only Xiaozhi and Lan. Their body heat penetrated through their thick clothes and reached Lan's body, instantly making her face, which had been chilled by the cold wind, feel a warm current.

"Thank you so much for today."

"Woo..."

Ash's cheerful expression made Ran's cheeks turn from blush to a deep red, and her heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

If this weren't at the White Tower, she was certain she would have already started a party... a Pokémon party!

"I should be the one saying thank you. I'm sorry... I accidentally kissed you earlier."

The orchid drooped its head, looking particularly shy.

Feeling Ash's firm chest and strong arms, a strange impulse welled up in my heart.

She looked at his face so close to hers, her lips trembling, an urge to kiss him rising within her.

I can't hold back any longer!

You know, what Xiaozhi did before always really bothered her.

In Wind City, Tyranitar is carried in a princess carry and protected by Ash in the mist of the Spore Potion.

In addition, there's the accumulation of travel experience and today's situation.

"Let me thank you with my actions... Ash?..."

Ran gently touched Ash's cheek with her hand. She stood on tiptoe slightly, and her red-streaked hair touched Ash's cheek, making Ash's heart tremble.

She gently wrapped her arm around Ash's neck, and then slowly pressed her lips to Ash's lips, their breaths mingling at that moment.

Then the water is delivered to Ash.

Lan wanted to take responsibility for her previous actions, so this time she acted impulsively and did something unimaginable.

She likes Ash Ketchum the most.

"Huh?!" ×

At this moment, Ash and Mashiro were somewhat bewildered by each other's actions.

There are... there are cows!

That's outrageous! Can I punch her a couple of times?!

Dark Strike, Water Stream Combo!

At this moment, even Mashiro couldn't help but want to punch Lan Bangbang a couple of times.

Wait, wait, wait... isn't Zhibao my boyfriend?!

Why am I being kissed by someone else right in front of me!

This outrageous behavior caught both of them off guard.

"Here's the water back. I'm really sorry for suddenly taking the water from your mouth earlier... That was just something I wanted to repay, don't misunderstand."

Lan's face was flushed, and her eyes sparkled with passion and longing as she looked in Xiao Zhi's direction.

She felt an inexplicable urge just from smelling Ash's scent.

What am I talking about, something so abstract?!

Can you please just be honest and confess your feelings to Ash?!

At the same time... a strong sense of self-blame arose, and Miyuki Ran felt dizzy as she recalled what she had just said.

I can still be arrogant at a time like this... Am I too overpowered?

"Okay, then next time we can do a Pokémon battle! I'll always welcome Ran to Pokémon battles."

Xiao Zhi nodded, instantly understanding.

So that’s it.

Ash had heard stories of heroes rescuing damsels in distress and giving away their first kiss, so he understood it immediately.

How can you be so dense?!

The people and Pokémon around them inevitably felt the urge to complain.

Can I hit this jerk of a boyfriend who stole my first kiss?!

Lan suddenly clenched her fist, trying to hide her arm, but she couldn't control herself.

"I'm not reconciled. I still want to say that I care about Ash's habits, I care about the happy look on his face when he lives with his Pokémon, and especially lately, I've been observing your opinion of me every day. But Ash wouldn't feel that way about me, would he?!"

Ran Miku grabbed Satoshi's hand, then moved closer to him and easily pulled him into her arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

"...Um?"

what are you saying?!

Suddenly, Ash seemed to realize something.

"This makes me resentful. I care about Xiaozhi so much, but Xiaozhi doesn't care. Even if I tempt you, you won't care about it and will ignore me. I get angry just thinking about it."

"Xiao Zhi has always been outstanding, able to clearly find his own direction and is popular with other girls, while I am quite embarrassing. While being helped by you, I am becoming more and more attracted to you."

Meizhu Lan's tone carried a hint of reproach, her words revealing a childlike complaint, but behind it lay a deep affection.

Facing this blockhead Zhi, Lan felt a strange mix of frustration and happiness.

Lan: I'm so angry I could faint!

"Ah, uh, so that means I... I like Ash, and I secretly consider Ash my boyfriend!"

After a brief silence, Ran's emotions reached their peak, and she no longer concealed them. She took a deep breath, and the tears in her eyes were replaced by determination. She looked directly at Satoshi.

"Does Lan consider me her boyfriend?"

Ash: When? How come I didn't realize it?!

"Of course I like you! If you want to ask whether it's liking you as a friend or as a lover, I can tell you clearly, I like you! The kind of liking a lover has!"

Lan's voice was firm and frank; she held nothing back anymore, her voice trembling slightly, but she continued.

"..." Xiao Zhi looked at Lan, and the sincere emotions in her eyes gave him an unprecedented shock, bringing their hearts closer together.

This was the first time Xiaozhi had ever met such a frank girl.

"I'm sorry, I had no idea about this. I've received all your affection."

Ash also responded to the other party wholeheartedly.

Since the girl had confessed her feelings, he naturally couldn't refuse.
