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

At this moment, near the crater of Red Lotus Town, Plasma Team scientist Akromma looked at the instruments in front of him with a fanatical smile.

"Sido..." Sidorlan's body crashed to the ground, trapped within the cage. Its eyes were bloodshot, filled with pain, and it let out a heart-wrenching wail.

This was the first time such a humiliation had ever been experienced by Sidson.

It originally lived in the caves of the volcano. It used its cross-shaped claws to hook onto the walls and the cave ceiling and climbed around, living a comfortable life as a Pokémon every day.

However, after being captured by the Plasma Team a few days ago, the scientists from the Plasma Team have been constantly experimenting on it.

Water, electric shocks, excessive flames—even Seadra couldn't withstand this kind of torture.

Damn it... Damn it...

Get moving, my body!!

"Xiduo..." Xiduolanen's voice was filled with endless sorrow and resentment, sending chills down one's spine and making it unbearable to listen to.

"No matter how much you struggle, it's useless. I will unleash your full power without reservation, so just surrender and be controlled by me."

Akromah kept inputting data into the ping board, while at the same time, Heatran was being tortured by electric shocks in the cage. Then, an exquisite round headband was precisely placed on Heatran's head.

The headband emitted a faint blue light and was pressed tightly against its head. Almost instantly, the light in Sidora's eyes disappeared, and its gaze became empty and indifferent, losing the last glimmer of self-awareness.

“Sido…”

"That's good. Next, we just need to bring Sidran back."

Akromma's gaze was fixed on Sidson's face. As the other's expression changed, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

"Emperor Nabo, Water Cannon!"

"Nabo!!"

A clear, melodious girl's voice drifted from afar.

boom! !

Immediately afterwards, a powerful water cannon shot straight towards Sidran's cage. However, the sturdy cage withstood the intense water pressure; water splashed everywhere but failed to cause any damage to the cage.

"Huh?!...Hehe~ My experiment was discovered? Although I expected you guys to come, I didn't expect only you to come. Is it really okay not to call your boyfriend?"

Akroma turned around with amusement, looking at Yushina and Emperor Naboo who had just attacked.

With the help of his detection equipment, he was able to notice that Ash wasn't there.

Because Ash and Yushina split up to be efficient, Yushina was the first to discover the place and then acted alone.

"Xiao Zhi is too busy, and I can manage on my own! For your level of encouragement, there's no need for my boyfriend... Xiao Zhi to help!"

"I can take care of you all by myself!"

Yuki was completely unaffected; she simply stretched out her hand, her gaze burning with a intensity no less than that of the volcano in Crimson Lotus Town.

746 Yushina vs. Akromma, Rescuing Sidson

"Emperor Naboo, unleash the water cannon once more!"

Emperor Naboo opened its massive maw once more and unleashed an even more powerful water cannon.

"Come forth, Heatran, and let me witness your power!!"

This time, Akromma was in charge himself.

He sneered as he released the cage's seals, freeing Sidran from his confinement.

As the cage opened, Sidson stood in front of Akroma without hesitation, and his powerful water cannon destroyed everything.

But Shydoran, with his strong physique, withstood the blow, splashing water everywhere, protecting Akromma behind him.

"Were we being manipulated?!"

Yushina immediately realized that Akroma was here to test Sidran's purpose.

The research project involves controlling Pokémon.

When she was observing Heatran just now, Heatran clearly showed a certain degree of rationality, but now, all Yushi could see in its eyes was indifference.

"The legendary Pokémon Heatran, you can't beat it! Heatran uses Smoke Blast on Empoleon!"

"Sido!!"

Heatran's limbs were poised to strike, and then it charged forward, heading straight for Emperor Naboo.

Upon reaching their destination, Seadrane erupted in flames and thick smoke, creating a sea of ​​fire and smoke.

This Heatran is faster than my Emperor Naboo!

Yukina stared wide-eyed at everything, her heart filled with unease.

"Quickly deploy the water cannons for defense!"

"It's useless! Smoke attack is a full-scale attack!"

"Naboo!" King Naboo responded hastily, unleashing a powerful water cannon in an attempt to extinguish the fire.

However, while the water cannon is powerful, it can only attack in a straight line, whereas Sidson's smoke attack is an all-around attack.

"Na...Nabo..." Emperor Naboo was quickly surrounded by flames and thick smoke, his huge body struggling in the flames, emitting a mournful cry.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the figure of Emperor Naboo reappeared, but his body still occasionally caught fire.

Emperor Naboo was panting heavily, each breath accompanied by a deep gasp. His massive body trembled slightly under the scorching heat of the fire, yet he stubbornly remained standing.

The Water/Steel type Empoleon is defenseless against Fire-type moves, so it suffers considerable damage.

Oh no, if this keeps up, I'm going to collapse too.

"Ugh..." Yuki frantically covered her nose, trying to block out the pungent smell of smoke.

"Wow, Heatran, you're so strong! You can do research while battling, that's amazing! Give up, your Empoleon can't beat this Pokémon, and you can't unlock its full potential!"

The smoke attack has a 30% chance of inflicting a burn on the target.

"Shiddlenand, use Smoke Blast again!"

Akroma's face was filled with a joyful smile, his gaze as satisfied and smug as a hunter admiring his prey in a trap.

"Sido!!" Sidoraun acted immediately upon receiving the command, unleashing an even more powerful burst of smoke and flames. The smoke and fire intertwined, forming a scorching storm that swept towards the target.

We'll lose if we continue like this! We have to find a way to break this.

In the smoky environment, Yushina's mind raced as she pondered.

Ash's image immediately popped into her mind.

If it were Ash Ketchum... what would the person I like do?!

Despite the situation, Yuukina showed no sign of panic; instead, she felt a sense of happiness.

For some reason... I don't know why, but when I think of Ash, courage wells up inside me, and I'm drawn to the Ash I imagine.

Yukina couldn't help but clench her hands tightly, feeling a sense of satisfaction. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Emperor Naboo, use a lying-down, spinning motion to unleash your water cannon!"

"Nabo!"

Emperor Naboo quickly lay down on the ground and then began to spin at an astonishing speed.

As it spun, it suddenly unleashed a water cannon, the water forming a huge vortex as it spun at high speed, followed by water whips that deftly dispersed Heatran's smoke.

The thick smoke was broken up and dispersed until the entire area regained clear visibility.

Counterattack Shield!

"...Interesting, they actually solved it this way. Well then, Heatran, use your Lava Storm!"

Akroma clearly doesn't take Yushina seriously.

Yushina, on the other hand, was thinking of Satoshi, and courage kept welling up inside her.

"Is this all you've got? This is far beyond the limits of me and Emperor Naboo! You're too much, Emperor Naboo!"

Yushina took out the Taijing Bead from her pocket and threw it out.

"Naboo—!" A dazzling light appeared, and Emperor Naboo's body shone with a brilliant light, like an illuminated gem.

Its body resembled a cut gemstone, and a crown-like water-attribute crystal gemstone appeared on its head.

This is the Crystal Bead obtained at the Lucky Dance Party, and Yushina is going to use it now, for Ash... and also for the injured Pokémon. Yushina wants to protect Heatran and give it freedom.

There is no other reason!

"If it were Ash, he would definitely do that."

Yushina could be so certain in her heart.

After all, Ash always puts himself in danger, rushing to the front, and never thinks about giving back when helping others and Pokémon.

Being with this kind of person, Yuki's cold and strong-willed side was gradually changed by Satoshi's sunny nature.

"Sido~~!!"

With a roar, Seadraon unleashed a lava storm from his mouth, which shot straight toward Emperor Naboo.

"It seems you're not very skilled at Pokémon battles, so let me tell you, Magma Storm is very difficult to hit! Empoleon, Aqua Jet!"

Yushina's eyes narrowed, and she loudly gave the order to Emperor Nabo.

Faced with this unstoppable attack, Emperor Naboo was surrounded by a film of water. With the help of the water's lubrication and cushioning, it slid rapidly across the ground and instantly arrived in front of Heatran.

"Hold on!!"

Upon seeing this, Sidson immediately conjured a green protective shield around his entire body.

However, Yukina had already anticipated this scene.

"The oath of King Naboo to the waters has long been prepared beneath us."

"Napoli!!!"

At that moment, a powerful jet of water rose from beneath Sidran's feet, directly slamming Sidran into the protective shield.

"Shh...do..." The protective shield of Sidran collided with the control device, instantly triggering an electric surge, and the air was filled with a piercing discharge sound.

Boom boom!

Immediately afterwards, a loud bang occurred, and the protective shield, unable to withstand the impact of the force, exploded.

747 Ash vs. Acromantula

"How is this possible?!" Akromar witnessed it all, his face filled with disbelief. He never imagined that the meticulously crafted Sealord would be destroyed in such a way.

"Sido." At the same time, Sidoo Lann, who had suffered torture and had been subjected to remarkable effects, lost consciousness and was unable to get up.

The situation suddenly reversed, leaving Akromma somewhat unable to keep up.

that is...

“Hahaha~”

Yuki stood there, panting, her chest heaving, each breath heavy.

Sweat dripped from her forehead like beads from a broken string, running down her cheeks and soaking her clothes, leaving visible sweat stains.

This is near a volcano, and the smoke from Sidora's eruption and the heat emanating from the volcano have made the air unusually stuffy.

I'm losing consciousness...

Yukina felt waves of heat wash over her. In this environment, she felt like she was about to lose consciousness. Her body was beginning to feel unbearable under the dual pressure of high temperature and exhaustion.

Emperor Naboo, weakened by his burns, collapsed to the ground.

"Indeed, for the sake of research, I also need to improve my skills as a trainer, but you can't hold on much longer."

Just as Yukina was about to lose consciousness, Akroma slowly walked over.

His gaze fell on Yuki, his eyes carrying a hint of mockery.

“Excellent research subjects can yield astonishing research results that exceed expectations. You are a rare and exceptional research subject for me, so let me end your research!”

"...In my eyes, you're just an incompetent researcher whose control device I easily destroyed. You're so incompetent that you can only rely on external forces to amplify or control Pokémon. You're just a half-baked, incompetent researcher!"

Yuki's aura became incredibly powerful at this moment, and her eyes became extremely serious.

"What did you say?!!"

Akroma's initially calm and confident attitude began to waver in the face of Yushina's sudden aura, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
