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

Are you a human?

"Chabu..." In the distance, where the aftershocks of the battle had not yet subsided, a lush green Pokémon quietly observed everything before it. The twig it was lightly biting slipped from its lips unnoticed in its shock.

Are you even human?

"Pikachu, Pikachu~ (Gengar, I have some berries here, do you want some?)"

"genga~~(want~)"

Pikachu and Gengar were already sitting on the ground, enjoying their meal.

The sky isn't their advantage, and both Pokémon can tell that the pink-haired woman has a crush on Ash. So, under these circumstances, it's a good idea to let the two of them develop their relationship.

They're quite different from that piece of wood! They really know their stuff!

"Salamander, use Meteor Shower again to attack Ash in Pallet Town!"

Unconvinced, Higana gave the order again, breaking out in a cold sweat and trembling all over.

"Bomanda!!!" Salamence opened its mouth again, and a purple energy ball shot out from it. The energy ball exploded in the air, releasing dozens of purple glowing meteors.

Ash held Maruyama tightly, his eyes sharpening and focusing in that instant. With an almost impossible agility and coordination, he swiftly swayed his body, dodging the attacks of dozens of meteors.

"Whoaaaaah~~~ Ash, it's too fast! Wait, it's going to break!!"

Until Maruyama Aya's scream rang out, she was just an ordinary girl, and she simply couldn't withstand Ash's dodging of the meteor shower.

"I know, then I won't hide!"

The Meteor Shower has a negative effect of weakening when used continuously, but in the current state, it should be able to withstand it without taking damage.

Ora ora ora!!

"Elbow Strike Flow - Water Flow Combo!" Adopting a direct countermeasure, Xiao Zhi threw a series of punches, each punch filled with power and speed. The scorching meteor was instantly shattered in the wind of his punches, turning into countless sparks that dissipated in the air.

They shattered the meteors one by one, protecting the two of them from harm.

"You're kidding... Are you telling me to fight a human? No choice, Salamence, Mega..."

Higana couldn't hold back any longer. She bent down, ready to touch the anklet, where a keystone was embedded.

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

"Charizard, Dragon Claw!"

"Roar!" Instantly, the fire-breathing dragon leaped up from the ground, its body surrounded by emerald green energy that condensed into a pair of powerful dragon claws.

Charizard charged toward Salamence with astonishing speed and power.

With a thunderous force, its claws knocked the Mega Stone embedded in Salamence's body off in a single blow.

"What?! The Mega Stone was knocked down?!"

"Roar!!" Having lost the power of the Mega Stone, Charizard pressed its advantage, its claws striking Salamence's head heavily.

"boman..."

The Salamence let out a deafening roar in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Ouch... What happened? Did I lose? We haven't even had a proper match yet..."

Higana collapsed to the ground, struggling weakly to get up. She forced herself to rise, using her hands to push herself up little by little.

Unlike Ash and Sidgard, Ash was already proficient in non-Pokémon battles.

In terms of practical experience, Higana is far inferior to him.

"Who sent you?" Ash hugged Maruyama Aya tightly as they walked up to Higanbana.

That's impressive... and the method used was flawless.

It's too perfect.

At that moment, Maruyama Aya stared at Ash's well-defined profile, feeling restless and her heart pounding faster.

She bit her lip nervously, suppressing her eager heart. Her eyes grew increasingly fervent, and she couldn't help but want to get closer to Xiaozhi.

Her body pressed close to Ash's, her fingers intertwined with Ash's, like two threads pulling each other together, their fingers clasped, and her gaze grew increasingly intense.

Xiao Zhi truly shines just like the idol I most want to become!

Maruyama Aya couldn't help but become engrossed in it.

She had to admit that she was starting to like this man!

909 The Unknown Power, Aya Maruyama's Love Blossoms

No... this guy is too strong, he's not even in the same league.

I will lose. I will lose here and be locked up in jail by Officer Jenny.

Higana collapsed to the ground, her body sprawled limply, her face filled with despair. Her eyes lost their light, and from this abyss of despair, her hand suddenly reached into her pocket.

"I'm sorry, Ash from Pallet Town, I want to catch that Pokémon, and I don't want to be captured by you here right now!"

"Blastmon, use Explosion! Tyranitar, use Protect!!"

With a sudden throw from Hiljuna, two Poké Balls slid out of her pocket and landed on the ground. The Poké Balls clicked open, releasing two beams of light, and then two Pokémon emerged.

"Baku!" "Gachi!"

"They actually unleashed a massive explosion at such close range?"

Even Ash was surprised by her decisiveness. Using a move like Explosion at such close range is practically suicidal, yet Higanbana used it without hesitation.

pity...

"Waveguide barrier!"

Ash quickly stretched out his palm, and with an invisible wave, a transparent waveguide barrier formed in front of him.

"Baku!!" Just then, Turtlemon suddenly released a dazzling light, and its body began to expand violently. Ash did not hesitate to use Aura Barrier to block Turtlemon's path of self-destruction.

Boom boom boom——!

After a loud bang, the shockwave and fireballs from the explosion violently struck the waveguide barrier.

Although the waveguide barrier successfully blocked the self-destruction, the force of the explosion was still powerful, causing minor cracks in the barrier and ultimately cutting Ash's hand.

Blood flowed from the wound on Xiao Zhi's palm and dripped onto the ground.

Since successfully rescuing Leopard last time, Ash has become increasingly adept at using Aura.

However, in that sudden explosion, because it happened so rapidly, Ash didn't even have time to fully mobilize the energy of his aura before being hit by the sudden impact.

To fight against these enemies, Ash must also learn how to protect himself, otherwise he will drag his Pokémon back, which is not what he wants to see.

"Pikachu pikachu~! (Ash, she got away!)"

"Gengaga! (They vanished from here in an instant without me even noticing!)"

Pikachu and Gengar watched the whole thing with shocked expressions. Ash wanted them to find the teleportation that Archie had used before, but the two Pokémon were completely focused on watching and still couldn't understand how Shisha escaped.

Unless the opponent possesses an ability far exceeding their own strength, they cannot achieve that incredible speed. This speed even surpasses that of a Champion-level Pikachu and can confuse the power of Ghost-type Gengar, which is usually known for its keen senses.

This is a type of character that Ash has never encountered before.

Pokémon with spatial abilities...

Xiao Zhi had a few answers in his mind.

"Is it Palkia? Or Hoopa, or some other Pokémon? Oh well, as long as everyone's alright."

Ash did not wallow in frustration or disappointment. Instead, he gazed tenderly at Maruyama Aya in his arms with a bright, warm gaze that seemed to emanate from the sun itself.

It reveals a deep sense of inner satisfaction.

For Ash, as long as his Pokémon and those around him are unharmed, he is already happy enough. Other worries and problems can be left for later.

"Huh...wait? I'm alright?"

The shockwave left Maruyama Aya feeling disoriented. She blinked involuntarily, trying to adjust to the changes before her. Gradually, she found her vision clearing, and her surroundings had changed significantly.

The only thing that remained the same was that Ash's sunny disposition hadn't changed, and it was even more pronounced.

Oh, I see... I was saved by Ash again in that state.

Ash is truly incredible!

Maruyama Aya's eyes lit up as she looked at the other person with a flutter in her heart.

She suddenly wanted to understand Ash more, to fully comprehend him, and she began to regard him as her idol.

As for Xiao Zhi's thoughts, it was... this woman seems a bit silly and not very smart.

Boom boom! !

At this moment, the aftershocks of the explosion occurred, and Satoshi and Aya Maruyama realized that it was not completely over yet. Some areas, which had been burning from the previous explosion, were now experiencing even more violent explosions.

"Ash, it's on fire!! We need to call the fire department right away!!"

The explosion occurred in an instant, and flames spread, licking at the surrounding trees. The raging flames leaped through the trees, instantly turning branches and leaves to ash, the fire shooting skyward, accompanied by crackling sounds.

"It's alright, it's nothing. Pikachu, Gengar, use Rain Dance! Charizard, use Air Blade! Let's disperse all the flames in the forest!"

"Pikachu!" "Genga!" Pikachu and Gengar closed their eyes and concentrated. Raindrops fell slowly from the sky like fine needles, accompanied by a soft pattering sound.

"Roar!!" At the same time, the Charizard swung its powerful wings, using the sharp edges to cut and destroy the most intensely burning parts like blades, severing the source of the fire one by one.

With the help of the three Pokémon, the burning quickly stopped, the rain stopped, and the sun peeked out again.

"Ah...that's powerful."

Seeing this scene, Maruyama Aya was completely impressed, and accidentally bit her tongue, saying the wrong thing.

"You don't need to praise me like that. I could never do this well on my own. It's all thanks to them."

A smile appeared on Xiaozhi's face as he slowly put Maruyama Aya down from his princess carry.

"No, Ash is amazing too, I'm sure of that!"

Maruyama Ayano understood that he could bring out the full potential of Pokémon.

In her eyes, Xiao Zhi is still number one.

"I genuinely think Ash is amazing."

Maruyama Aya blushed slightly, raised her head slightly, leaned towards Ash, and pressed her soft chest against Ash's body.

Her clothes were soaked by the rain, revealing her pink underwear and her alluring Dynamax form.

"Oh no... I don't have any clothes to change into... Now I'll have to wait until they're dry before I can go back."

As a college student, Aya Maruyama could only pretend nothing was wrong to deal with such awkward situations.

"It's alright, I can lend you my clothes and some medicine. Use them first. Also, given the current situation, it seems impossible to encounter any more Pokémon. So, call the Flying Taxi. Sorry, Cai, for getting you involved in this."

910 Maruyama Aya: Satoshi is the man who can become my mother!

Ash carefully took out his clothes and medicine from his backpack, beginning meticulous preparations for the upcoming challenge. His eyes revealed a firm determination, so much so that Maruyama Aya was instantly shocked by his resolve and courage, almost unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.

Aya Maruyama: Satoshi, he's the man who could be my mother!

She's got all the qualities of a perfect wife!

"Pikapi?"

Pikachu was slightly taken aback; no Ash would be so observant.

You know, this blockhead Satoshi only gets this focused when it comes to Pokémon!

Xiao Zhi's mood did indeed become somewhat anxious and uneasy.

Only now did he suddenly remember something important: if he could meet Higanbana, then according to the established procedure, a super-huge meteorite would fall into the Hoenn region.

In the world of Pokémon, the existence of meteorites is awe-inspiring. Even legendary Pokémon like Arceus and Necrozma have suffered severe damage from meteorites.

In that case, Ash needs to be fully prepared as well.

But... getting anxious won't help, so Ash quickly regained his composure.

Meteorites are nothing, just smash them!

"Interesting. Then let me find a way to shatter the meteorite in the meantime!"
