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

Charizard charged up its right claw, and with a low roar, a strong orange light burst forth from its right claw. Clenching its claw into a fist, it aimed at Tyranitar's abdomen and swung it out fiercely.

"Roar!!" Charizard's fist struck Tyranitar directly in the abdomen, sending it flying.

"Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh!!" Dragonite unleashed a series of Dragon Claw attacks, finally sending Cursed Doll flying. Its body spun in the air before crashing heavily onto Doka and Otsuka along with Tyranitar.

"Roar~~"

After finishing, Charizard happily flew over and breathed fire, spraying Ash's face with flames.

"Ooh~" Dragonite stretched out its claws and hugged Ash.

"Huh?! Okay, thank you all~"

Surrounded by Pokémon, Ash stroked the bodies of two of them, a happy smile on his face.

1153 The Darkness Flowing Beneath the Mechanical City, the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament

Both the plane and the air fortress landed successfully, where Officer Jenny had been waiting for some time. She acted swiftly, apprehending Doka and Otsa, and even the air fortress was taken over by high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Azot. It is said that all of this was because Doka and Otsa had stolen their research findings.

Ash wasn't very interested in these complicated matters, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

"Mr. Ash, please give me your autograph!" "I like you!"

However, what bothered Ash was that as soon as he got off the plane, he felt stares from all directions. These stares were so piercing that Ash had to quicken his pace, hoping to leave as soon as possible.

Fortunately, in this mega-city known for its mysterious scientific development, a particularly important Triple Crown Satellite Tournament is currently being held. This event has attracted a large crowd, allowing Ash to escape safely amidst their attention.

The combination of Pokémon performers and this mysterious, scientifically advanced megacity creates a very special pairing.

This attracted many famous trainers and performers who wanted to witness firsthand what level Pokémon performers could achieve by combining performances with mysterious science, perhaps ushering in a new era of performance.

As for Xiaozhi...

I also want to participate and experience the charm of Pokémon!

Unfortunately, it's simply impossible to do that!

"Ash, where are we going next?"

Just then, Ash heard Kasumi's voice in his ear, and her call immediately drew Ash's attention to her.

“kirakira~~”

Since the plane landed, Kasumi has once again displayed her positive and energetic spirit. She immediately summoned her Pokémon, Meteorite.

Little Meteor [Rock/Flying]: A Pokémon born from the ozone layer. When the outer shell surrounding its core becomes heavy, it will fall to the ground.

"Pikachu and I will go find a special Pokémon first, and then we'll probably go watch the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament tomorrow."

Ash still clearly remembers the scene when Volcanion fell from the sky. Even such a powerful Pokémon is bound to suffer some damage.

We can get the current status of this mechanical city from Polcanion.

His gaze involuntarily swept over the Triple Crown Satellite Tournament poster on the wall, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. Serena occupied the most prominent position on the poster, indicating that she had made rapid progress in her Pokémon Performer career over the past year.

We might be able to see each other tomorrow.

By the way, in this mechanical city, find the right people to engage in Pokémon battles!

Ash has been looking forward to this for a long time!

The new World Championship is about to begin, and he wants to do his best to reach the top eight.

"The best opponent is one of the Four Heavenly Kings or higher!"

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

Ash sped off towards Volcanion, his desire to encounter more Pokémon burning brightly within him.

As for Serena?

I've temporarily forgotten about it! Pokémon brain, what can I do!

World Championships, here I come!

"Hmm... So what am I supposed to do? I remember I came here to watch the dazzling, heart-pounding Triple Crown Satellite Tournament."

As Kasumi watched Ash's retreating figure, she tilted her head in confusion, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

But when her gaze fell on the date on the poster, she suddenly understood something.

"Oh right! The Triple Crown Satellite Tournament is tomorrow! I have absolutely nothing to do today!... I guess I should just go to Ash's place. Ash makes me shine and my heart races!... Huh?! Eh?! Where's Ash?!"

In that instant, Ash's figure disappeared from Kasumi's sight. Realizing this, Kasumi immediately took off after him, her pace quickening as she chased after him without hesitation.

"I'm definitely going to catch up with you!!!"

...

"What?! Ash Ketchum, the Kanto Champion, has arrived in the Kingdom of Azot?!"

Inside a magnificent castle in the Kingdom of Azot, Minister Jarvis trembled uncontrollably upon hearing the news. Fear and unease surged through him, leaving him restless.

"Yes, yes, Jarvis, let's go see him!"

When Prince Raquel spoke of the news, his eyes were filled with longing.

"No! We must retrieve Magearna from the Sky Fortress first. We can't let anyone else take it. It's the only Pokémon in the world and the most precious mysterious science of our mechanical city. It must be preserved."

Suddenly, Jarvis's emotions changed drastically, and his voice and movements revealed an agitated emotion.

Magearna, a mythical Pokémon, possesses a tremendous power called "Soul Heart." Jarvis, a minister of the Kingdom of Azoth, uses esoteric science to invent a technology that forcibly Mega Evolves Pokémon, attempting to rule the kingdom with Magearna's "Soul Heart." Thus, he deceives and manipulates Prince Raquel, who is passionate about esoteric science.

This was a crucial moment in the plan, and he knew he absolutely could not let Magiana fall into the hands of the police. Jarvis had no intention of giving up in order to maintain control of this mechanized city.

The Daoka and Yisha he had previously dispatched were also sacrificed for this plan, and Prince Rakel was well aware of this.

The prince was still young, just a boy, and was easily deceived by Jarvis.

Jarvis used the excuse that "the plane was accidentally hit while transporting Magiana" and, coupled with his credibility in the eyes of the prince, quickly convinced him of his story, thus bypassing the prince's suspicions.

Since Ash Ketchum, the Kanto Champion, is here, my remaining Pokémon might not be strong enough.

Did he use 5 or 6 Pokémon to take down Doka and Otsuka's Mega Pokémon?

Jarvis lowered his head in thought, pondering the past.

We need more Pokémon that can Mega Evolve... Let's catch them as quickly as possible tonight...

We also need to contact a Pokémon hunter to distract Ash...

To seize this mechanical city, the more cautious we are, the better.

Implementing the plan tomorrow would be the safest course of action!

As long as we can obtain Magearna's 'Soul Heart', even Ash won't be a threat!

With that thought in mind, Jarvis revealed a confident smile.

Will win!

You mere Kanto people? Let us show you the power of the mysterious science of the Carlos people!

"What are your thoughts on this, Miss Layer?"

Through the listening device, Princess Jimia of the Kingdom of Azot curiously inquired of the tall beauty beside her.

Unlike her brother Raquel, she distrusted Minister Jarvis and therefore secretly investigated him.

The first thing he did was contact the Interpol police. Ray, codenamed LAYER, was an Interpol Superintendent Investigator with the rank of Superintendent. He was the 'handsome guy's' superior and had been tasked with resolving a potential crisis in the Kingdom of Azot.

"If I were him, I would immediately try to stop the Kanto hero, Ash, to stabilize the situation and continue the investigation, or send someone to find the Kanto hero... I really don't think he would leave Ash unattended."

Ray calmly analyzed the situation, and then threw out a Poké Ball.

"Trembling Salamander, come out first!"

"Silk Throw!"

1154 Kasumi and Little Meteorite, who were attacked, I will take care of them in an instant!

"What?! They're actually sending me to fight Ash in Pallet Town? Are you kidding me? Isn't this just making me a pushover?"

Upon hearing the voice of his longtime employer, a middle-aged male Pokémon hunter looked on with surprise.

Are you kidding me? I just heard that Ash from Pallet Town shot down the Sky Fortress, and you just sent me there like that.

"I'm not asking you to defeat him, I'm just asking you to lure him in and investigate his whereabouts! You can manage that, right?"

The voice of Minister Jarvis came through the phone, leaving the middle-aged Pokémon hunter speechless.

But that's normal; if it's just about investigating whereabouts, then it's entirely possible.

Especially for someone like Ash who is a celebrity, it's even easier to investigate his whereabouts. With his many years of experience as a middle-aged Pokémon hunter, he also has the corresponding confidence.

"Let's go, Crow Leader."

"Kara!!"

The middle-aged Pokémon hunter, his eyes glued to the message on his phone screen, rode his Crowmaster, soaring through the sky and speeding toward Ash's location.

Soon, he traversed the verdant landscape of lakes and waterfalls and arrived at the plateau, where the sky was shrouded in thick fog, creating a misty atmosphere.

Nibel Plateau: Its symbol is a giant tree shaped like the arm of Porcanion, and the surrounding nature includes lakes and waterfalls. The plateau is often shrouded in fog.

This is also the place where Volcanion was shot down. Ash activated his Aura nearby to search for the Pokémon's whereabouts.

"The Nibel Plateau?... If you come here, you'll basically be looking for Pokémon in this area, right? Then it's unlikely to affect your employer."

The middle-aged Pokémon hunter let out a soft breath, secretly relieved. He really didn't want to face off against the once-famous Kanto champion, Ash.

Although Ash may be completely unaware of this, his name is already associated with countless glories: he has not only destroyed several villainous organizations but also saved lives across multiple regions, earning him the reputation as the most powerful hero in a thousand years, or even in all of history. Just one more step and he will be crowned a "World Hero."

Ash's existence is like a radiant lighthouse, illuminating every corner of the Pokémon world, causing the already relatively low crime rate to drop even further, bringing unprecedented peace and tranquility to the world.

The extent to which countless people choose to retire from their criminal activities.

"Hehe, all I have to do is observe. This money is really easy to earn. I'll take advantage of this time to catch some Pokémon."

A smug smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged Pokémon hunter, whose gaze was immediately drawn to a brown-haired girl.

"Strange~ Ash, where did he go...?" "Kirakira~"

Kasumi looked somewhat clumsy, an appearance that made the hunter think she was perfect to be his next target. A small meteorite floated beside her.

This kind of foolishness makes them perfect targets for capture.

"A small meteorite from the Alola region, it's good to capture it here. Crow Chief, charge over and use Air Blade!!"

"Kara!!" The crow leader moved at high speed in mid-air, its wings flapping so fast that the air itself seemed to tear apart. The crow leader unleashed countless air blades, slicing the surrounding trees to pieces.

The air blades hurtled toward Kasumi and Little Meteorite at an astonishing speed.

"What's wrong?!" Kasumi's eyes widened, and she hurriedly took steps, wanting to escape this dangerous area.

"Kira?!" Little Meteorite was also hit by these continuous air blades.

With a dull thud, the small meteorite was struck to the ground and then collapsed.

The hard, heavy outer shell shattered, revealing the orange core inside.

"Little Meteorite, come here quickly!" Kasumi turned around and hurriedly tried to pick up Little Meteorite, but just as she was about to lend a helping hand, a sharp blade of air cut her hand directly.

"Ugh~" Blood flowed from her palm.

"Karaara!!"

The crow leader continuously unleashed air blades, each attack further shattering the outer shell of the small meteorite.

"Hahaha! How foolish! Just hand over your little meteorite already!!"

With no intention of letting it go, the Pokémon hunter launched a special capture device from the crow's head.

"Kira?!" The device quickly extended its long claws, captured the little meteorite, and then locked it in a cage that resembled a birdcage.

"Give me back my little meteorite!!"

Kasumi's eyes widened in disbelief; her Pokémon had been taken away just like that.

"Give it back to you? That's impossible! Crow Leader, ruin the light!"

The Pokémon hunter watched this scene with disdain.

"Kara!" As the raven's beak opened, a powerful beam of light shot out from its mouth.
