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

Although none of the attacks hit their mark completely, their impact still put considerable pressure on Lucario.

So that's how it is. The muddy current was meant to moisten the land, and Milotic increased its speed on top of that!

"Continuous wave missiles!"

"Awoooooo!!" Lucario did not back down in the face of Milotic's attack. It kept waving its hands, launching tiny wave missiles in succession.

Boom boom boom——!

The wave missile and the water cannon collided in mid-air, producing a huge explosion and a dazzling light. Each collision was accompanied by the dissipation of energy, and Milotic and Lucario both suffered corresponding damage.

At the same time, Lucario charged forward, choosing to move straight ahead.

"Mud Shot!"

"Hoo-hoo!!!"

Seeing this, Milotic quickly stopped and began spraying mud continuously from its mouth.

Ground-based moves are extremely effective against Lucario.

"Bone with the bone stick!"

Faced with the flying mud, Lucario quickly focused its Ground-type energy, instantly forming an energy rod in its hand.

"Awooo!!" Lucario swung his energy club, striking the incoming mud chunk at incredible speed.

boom! boom! boom!

Each strike was precise, knocking the mud chunks away. The mud chunks exploded in the air, turning into dust, and falling back to the ground.

The two Pokémon quickly closed the distance, and just as Lucario swung his Bone Club, Wallace revealed a slight smile.

Milotic, Water Tail!

"Whoosh~~~" Milotic quickly flipped over, using its tail to carry the water flow and directly attack Lucario's abdomen.

"Use bone clubs to hit me randomly to defend myself!"

"Awooo?! Awooo~~~" Faced with Milotic's attack, Lucario hurriedly used the energy staff in his hand to block his abdomen. The water attack was too strong, and the staff was shattered the moment it collided with the water, unable to withstand such power.

After the bone club shattered, Lucario was directly impacted by the water attack. It was sent flying into the air, tumbling and losing its balance.

"Aim! Prepare the water cannons!"

"Retaliate with vacuum waves!!"

"Hoo!" "Awooo!!"

Milotic adjusted its position, aiming at Lucario above. Lucario swung its right hand sharply, releasing a vacuum wave that flew towards Milotic at incredible speed, striking Milotic directly in the abdomen.

"Whoo~~~"

Under the influence of the vacuum wave, Milotic was bounced backward, and its water cannon attack was affected as a result.

The water cannon grazed past Lucario.

"Bone with the bone stick!"

"Ow!"

"Water tail!"

"Hoo-hoo!"

The two Pokémon stood steadily on the ground, moving forward towards each other.

922 defeated Mikoli and used the Resurrection Technique!

The two were back on equal footing. Lucario's pupils contracted, and he became highly focused.

We can see that it predicts using waveguides! Just like Ash Ketchum!

I can predict the future attack curve of the water flow tail!

"Awooo!!" Faced with Milotic's sudden attack, Lucario's pupils contracted instantly as it alertly caught the movement of Milotic's tail.

Just as Lucario was about to be struck by Aqua Tail, it swiftly bent its body, dodging the attack at an almost impossible angle. Aqua Tail grazed past Lucario's body, creating a gust of wind.

"Is it possible to avoid this angle?"

Even Mikoli was taken aback by this move.

In this battle, Ash intends to improve Lucario's use of Aura. If Lucario can master Aura, it will be able to reach a higher level, namely Champion level!

Currently, Lucario is still on par with Milotic, thanks to Ash's support.

"Awooo!!!" After dodging the attack from Water Tail, Lucario didn't hesitate at all and immediately launched a counterattack. It swung its Energy Bone Club, a strike full of power and speed.

The energy bone rod traced a bright yellow path through the air, striking Milotic squarely in the abdomen.

boom--!

"Whoosh~~" Milotic let out a shrill scream the moment it was attacked.

"Milotic, hold on, unleash Water Cannon!"

"Wave missile!"

In the close-quarters battle, Milotic launched another attack. It concentrated all its power, unleashing a powerful water cannon. At the same time, Lucario retaliated fiercely, swiftly swinging its right hand and releasing a wave missile. The two forces collided in mid-air, creating a violent storm.

Whoosh!

At the eye of the storm, the collision of the water cannon and the wave missile triggered a massive energy surge. Gale-force winds howled, water currents and energy waves intertwined in the air, and the two Pokémon stared intently at each other, their powers clashing at that point, neither retreating an inch.

"Whoosh!!!" However, Milotic's water cannon was far more powerful. It overwhelmed Lucario's Aura Sphere with its overwhelming force, the water cannon cutting through the air and finally hitting Lucario head-on.

"Lucario, we'll hold on too!!"

"Awooo!!" Lucario's body seemed to be swallowed up by the power of the water cannon in an instant.

"Why should we have to endure this?! Could it be that...?!"

"Put everything on this one strike, and we'll be brought back to life!!"

Xiao Zhi, full of fighting spirit, swung his fist forward.

“Ouch!!”

At that moment, Lucario erupted with a golden-orange energy field, a surge of energy as powerful as a volcanic eruption. All the energy converged in its right hand, instantly gathering all its power.

"Awooo—!"

Lucario's right hand struck Milotic's abdomen with a sudden force, and Milotic's back bulged out instantly, as if it had been pierced through by the energy.

"Huh...huh..."

Milotic traced an arc in the air before landing heavily on the battlefield, displaying a pained expression.

The shockwave swept across the entire battlefield, sending up large amounts of dust that obscured people's vision.

"Whoosh..." As the dust settled, Milotic lay on the ground, its body convulsing uncontrollably, completely incapacitated.

Lucario, on the other hand, struggled to his feet, raised his hand, and declared his victory.

"..." Maruyama Aya and the others stared blankly at the scene, and it took them a long time to react.

What an intense battle! You could feel the clash between their souls.

"Milk and Milotic are unable to battle, Lucario wins, so the winner of this battle is Ash from Pallet Town!!"

At the same time...we lost?

The Hoenn Champion, Wallace, failed to defeat Ash, and the people here felt a sense of admiration and relief.

After all, they still had a champion who often dug stones wandering around, leaving all the work to Mikoli, so it wasn't exactly a loss of face.

"So cool!" "I want to marry Ash!" "Get out!"

The audience erupted in excitement. A burst of enthusiastic applause rose from the crowd, the highest praise for Ash, Wallace, and their two Pokémon's outstanding performance. The applause conveyed the audience's amazement, admiration, and satisfaction.

"You were so outstanding, so elegant that it made people envious, yet so brilliant and dazzling. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful match."

"As expected of you, Ash."

Michael walked up to Ash, his eyes filled with admiration and appreciation.

I am very satisfied. The battle just now was not only a victory of strength and skill, but also a victory of will and perseverance.

Lucario's final attack was clearly a desperate effort for its trainer.

"I should be thanking you, it was a really good match."

Ash only had two words to say: "Satisfied." He could only say that this battle was so much fun.

I haven't had this much fun in a long time.

First time defeating the champion!

Quite good!

"Here, take this raindrop badge!"

Michael took a raindrop badge from his pocket and handed it to Ash.

The Raindrop Badge is the official badge of the Glass Dojo.

It is also a souvenir of defeating Mikoli.

"And this!... Now countless paths open before you, such as becoming the Kanto champion, or dominating the World Championship. Let me, Mikoli, witness these paths!"

Michael took a transparent, stylish scarf from his body and draped it over Ash's shoulders. The scarf was in soft colors.

After finishing, Mikuri took a step back and looked at Ash expectantly.

He could see Ash's infinitely bright future and wanted to witness it.

"no problem!"

Ash clenched his fist and made a firm declaration.

Their eyes met, and their hearts began to burn with passion.

But... Mikoli's lips curled up into a smile.

"By the way, Ash, if possible, could you participate in this Contest? I want to see more of your dazzling performances!"

"Eh?"

Am I really participating in the Grand Contest?

At that moment, Ash's head felt heavy, and he couldn't react.

No way?! Are we really going to participate?

Is this a way of thanking Mikoli for his match against me?

It wasn't that Xiaozhi didn't want to participate; he simply hadn't prepared.

It's impossible for me to win the championship on my first try! Impossible, impossible.

"Let's go, Ash!" ×2

Before Ash could respond, Hina and Aya ran up to him and forcibly dragged him away.

Ash's grand contests—just thinking about them makes my mouth water! ×2

"Eh~~~"

The wooden-headed Zhi had no room to resist and was forced to agree to this.

923 participated in the Grand Contest, and Hina really loves Ash!

"Ash, just put on this outfit obediently! Let's get going~"

Is this okay?

Xiao Zhi looked at himself in the mirror and shifted his body a little uncomfortably.

The clothes are relatively inconvenient for movement, and Xiaozhi is not used to wearing them.

"This is perfect for you, Ash!"

Hina and Aya watched from behind Osamu, managing their emotions and covering their noses.
