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

"My Pokémon hasn't fully recovered yet. I'll go in a few days."

Looking at the waves ahead, Mingyi made the necessary preparations.

Brilliant fireworks burst in the sky, their colorful light illuminating every corner of the Manaro Arena, accompanied by the sound of explosions.

Meanwhile, the numbers on the big screen changed and finally stopped at the number 16.

"The qualifiers are now over!"

"Now, we will announce the matchups for the first round of the final stage knockout rounds."

Then, the players' avatars appeared on the big screen, scrolling through the images, and the atmosphere in the arena became even more tense. Next, the content displayed on the big screen changed.

The 16 trainers were divided into eight groups, with two trainers in each group paired up to compete against each other in this elimination tournament.

"In the first match, Ash will face off against Misaki!"

"Oh—!" ×N

The atmosphere intensified once again as the commentator's voice rang out.

"Huh? I'm going to beat Ash? Really?"

Misaki pointed to her face, her expression instantly freezing.

Can we possibly win?!

You will lose!

"Misaki, I will fight you with all my might!"

Before Misaki could recover, Ash arrived in front of her, looking at her expectantly.

"Ah...yes, I definitely won't let Ash down."

As these words were spoken, Misaki's expression stiffened to its peak.

What am I saying?!

Wait a minute, with the bear in the outfit, maybe we can win this battle with the power of parent-child love!

Unleash the power of the bear costume by wearing 'Michelle (mascot costume)'!

As the saying goes... the power of love is limitless!

Suddenly, Misaki felt that her chances of winning had reached one hundred percent.

Last time, I was defeated by Ash because I was wearing a Bewear outfit without a trainer. This time, I'm here, and with a Z-Move and the Power of Love, maybe I can win?

As for the power of love, what is it?

Misaki said that it didn't matter at all.

Legal!

Anyway, the alliance can't detect it.

Will win!

"Just leave it to me."

Suddenly, Misaki felt a strong sense of confidence.

...

"The knockout stage of the finals officially begins today. At this moment, many people are gathered at the Manaro Arena, eagerly awaiting the start of this memorable first battle."

On a clear morning, sunlight shone on every blade of grass and tree on the battlefield. Ash and Misaki, dressed in an adorable plush costume, stepped into the arena filled with the atmosphere of competition.

"Ash and Misaki are officially entering the arena. Ash is the champion trainer who has rescued trainers from multiple regions, while Misaki is a trainer who travels in the Alola region, dressed in a mascot costume to bring joy to everyone."

All eyes were on them as Ash and Misaki, dressed in a plush costume, faced off.

"Both sides send out their Pokémon!"

King Hala of the islands raised his hand to announce the start of the match.

"I'm counting on you to wear the bear costume!"

Wearing the plush costume, Misaki's voice became noticeably more enthusiastic, and even her movements of taking out the Poké Ball became more nimble.

She threw the Poké Ball forward from her hand.

"Ooh~~~!"

After performing a magnificent turn in the air, the bear-themed garment landed heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Its body appeared exceptionally strong and powerful under the sunlight.

It wasn't convinced by the last battle and had long wanted to win again.

"Ooh~~!" Bear's bright eyes stared straight at Ash in front of him, and hot air blew out of his nostrils.

In addition, the influence of the child bear watching from the audience can rival that of the costumed bears like the Tapu, allowing it to exert even greater power.

"As expected of the bear-themed Blaziken outfit, I choose you!"

Ash's boiling point had reached its peak, and he threw the Poké Ball forward.

"Bashar!" Blaziken leaped into the wide arena, and instantly, flames erupted from its paws, filling the area with intense heat.

The two seemed to be drawn to each other, recognizing each other's strength immediately.

This level of opponent is most suitable for rehabilitation.

"Wearing a bear costume, unleash a million-ton kick!"

"Blazing Chicken, use Flame Kick to retaliate!"

"Whoa~~!" "Bashar!"

Blaziken and Bearskin rapidly approached each other amidst the atmosphere of battle. Blaziken's right foot blazed with flames, while Bearskin's right foot emitted a dazzling light. Power gathered beneath their feet, ready to erupt at the moment of collision.

Just as they were about to make contact, the blazing chicken and the bear-wearing man's right foot collided violently.

boom--! ! !

At that moment, the earth shook violently, and shockwaves spread outwards from the point of impact, cracks appeared in the ground, and the surrounding rocks and soil were loosened.

An unusual storm was stirred up by the collision, and fragments of surrounding rocks were swept up.

Commentator: "What incredible power! These are Bewear and Blaziken; their strength far surpasses that of ordinary Pokémon!!"

"Megaton punch!"

Seeing this, Misaki did not hesitate to continue her attack.

In a battle against Ash, even a moment's hesitation will result in defeat.

Since that's the case, keep attacking!

Look for opportunities!

"Whoa~~!" The bear, dressed in red robes, was poised to pounce, and red energy began to gather around its body. Its body began to transform, and its muscles became even more muscular.

With a powerful leap, the ground began to crack, its footsteps leaving deep marks on the earth as it charged straight toward Blaziken.

"Take a step back! Use Flamethrower!"

"Bashar~~~!"

The blazing chicken quickly took a step back, spewing out a dazzling flame from its mouth.

"Deliver a million-ton punch to the ground!"

The fist shattered the earth in an instant, sending rock fragments flying like raindrops. These floating rocks formed a natural barrier in the air, blocking the flames spewed by the Blaziken.

The flames collided with the rocks, producing a dazzling flash of light and a deafening explosion.

1109 Blaziken's thoughts on winning the round of 16

Compared to the highly effective fighting-type moves, Misaki knew that Flamethrower was more troublesome.

According to Ash and Misaki's observation, this bear has the Furry ability.

Fluffy: Reduces the damage of contact attacks by half, but doubles the damage of fire attacks, if the damage from fire contact attacks remains unchanged.

This means that Blaziken, which uses most fighting moves and is good at fire-type contact moves, will not have much of an advantage in this battle.

To inflict maximum damage on Bewear, you must use a non-contact Fire-type move.

Misaki had already considered techniques for dealing with non-contact attacks.

Furthermore, they even have long-range countermeasures!

"Don't let it escape! Use your True Energy Bullet!!"

"Whoa~~!!!" The bear-wearing figure concentrated, creating a sphere of energy between its hands. This energy sphere gradually brightened, and as the bear-wearing figure poured its power into it, it began to emit a dazzling light.

Then, the bear didn't hesitate to convert the energy ball into a beam of light and shoot it at the Blaziken on the other side.

"Charge head-on and unleash Flame Charge!"

"Bashashashasha!!!" Blaziken's body suddenly erupted with azure flames as it head-on confronted the enemy. At the moment of contact, Blaziken's explosive flames collided violently with Ursaring's energy beam.

In an instant, it shattered the energy beam, turning it into countless sparks and points of light that dissipated into the air.

Blaziken crashed into Bear in the instant it shattered the energy beam.

"Spray flames!"

"Whoa~~!" The bear was sent flying backward by the impact.

The blazing chicken gave the bear no chance to catch its breath; it leaped up and unleashed flames once more.

"Ultimate Impact!"

"Waaaaah!!!"

Just as the flames were about to hit the bear, the bear burst forth with crimson energy, causing a great earthquake that kept the flames at bay.

Instead of charging straight through, the crimson aura that could sustain the ultimate impact was already at its limit under these circumstances.

"Close combat!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Ash issued the command with perfect accuracy.

"Bashar!!" Almost instantly, Blaziken, with its amazing speed, rushed in front of Bewear and unleashed a series of punches, striking Bewear heavily.

So fast! ! !

"So fast!"

"How could that Blaziken be so fast?!"

"That's even faster than Pikachu's speed!"

Everyone was amazed by Blaziken's speed, including Misaki, who noticed that Blaziken was becoming increasingly terrifying.

"Acceleration ability... speed, getting faster and faster... wearing bear armor, we'll respond with close combat!"

Seeing this, Misaki had no choice but to do her best.

"Ouch!!"

"Bashar!" Blaziken swung its left fist swiftly, striking Bear in the abdomen and knocking it back. It then kicked Bear in the head with its right foot, but Bear dodged the attack by tilting its head.

"Whoa!!" The bear's right fist slammed into Blaziken's shoulder, the powerful impact causing Blaziken to stumble back several steps.

"Bashasha!!" Blaziken is getting faster and faster, and its attacks are continuous.

Under Blaziken's attack, Bear gradually lost its balance and strength, and was eventually kicked far away by Blaziken, landing heavily against the wall near the stands.

Ash and Blaziken's teamwork is far superior to Misaki and Besturn's.

"It seems impossible to win with ordinary moves, so let's entrust everything to this one strike!"

Inside the plush toy costume, Misaki embeds a regular Z-Crystal into the Z-Bracelet.

"Ultimate Invincible Great Collision!"

"Whoa—!!!"

Suddenly, the ground beneath the bear-shaped structure exploded, creating a massive shockwave.

It used the air blast to rush towards Blaziken at an extraordinary speed. Its silhouette left a shockwave in the air.
