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

In the audience, Ash's girlfriend, family, and all the friends he has met so far are already seated.

She called him "husband" and "darling" a little too often, which caused confusion among those who didn't know the situation.

Why are so many people calling me "husband"?!

Young women who have obtained their marriage certificates all want to show them off.

"I can't wait..." "Xiangzi is the face of our city!"

Mingyi: "Xiaozhi~~ Go for it! I like you!"

Meanwhile, in the front row of the audience, the gym owner, the kings, and the champions all sat there.

They have their own understanding and expectations for the upcoming showdown.

In the player tunnel, Ash was tidying up his outfit, making sure that every piece of equipment was placed just right.

He held the Mega Gloves, and wore a Dynamax Wristband on his wrist. Six Pokémon surrounded Ash, their eyes filled with fighting spirit and trust in Ash.

Ash adjusted the brim of his hat, his eyes gleaming with confidence, and smiled as he looked at his Pokémon.

"The time has finally come, please help us!"

1395 Zacian's overwhelming power

"Genga!" "Ugh!" "Roar!" "Secure code!" "Secure!" "Ugh!"

The Pokémon could sense Ash's confidence; their eyes lit up, their tails wagged, and their ears perked up, showing a strong anticipation for the upcoming battle.

Here in the contestant tunnel, there are also the five girls that Ash first met. They couldn't stay still, so they chose to come to the contestant tunnel to cheer for Ash. After all, this is Ash's battle against their rivals, and they will do their best to cheer for Ash.

Aiyin: "Zhizhi, you have to win!"

Su Shi: "Husband, I have always believed in you."

The lamp: "Honey...keep going..."

Lixi: "Darling, we absolutely cannot lose."

Lena: "Go, Matcha Husband~~"

"Okay, I'm definitely going to win!"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel even more excited.

It is because of their support that Ash was able to come here with his Pokémon. So let's accept their blessings and set off towards a more distant goal.

"Alright! Let's go!"

"Oh~~!" ×6

Ash threw a punch towards the front of the contestant tunnel, and the surrounding Pokémon roared with excitement.

As Xiangzi walked through the contestants' passage, she saw Chu Hua and Mu waiting for her arrival.

Chu Hua: "Xiao Xiang, good luck! You must have a great battle with Xiao Zhi."

Mu: "Keep it up."

The two girls, standing before Xiangzi, chose to support Xiaozhi and Xiangzi in this competition. Having witnessed Xiangzi's hard work over the past few days, they also wanted to cheer him on.

Regardless, those who like Ash will support girls who want to compete with him and have the best battles with him.

"I didn't expect you guys to cheer me on... I understand, I'll take your good wishes, I'll beat Ash in this battle!"

Xiangzi's inner fervor intensified once more, and she walked faster and faster, unable to wait for the battle.

At the same time, Ash began to emerge from the player entrance, and countless eyes were focused on him.

Commentator: "The Pokémon World Championship Eight Masters Elimination Tournament. This tournament brings together champions from various regions! It is truly a very special tournament. This is the first match of the semifinals."

"Eighth place in the Masters, Ash Ketchum enters the arena! Ash Ketchum carries the weight of the Kanto and Alola regions and is a world-renowned hero. He has rightfully ascended to the top of the semifinals! What kind of battle will we witness today?"

"Pikachu! Pikachu! (Ash~~ Go for it!)"

Aine rushed to the audience seats, and Pikachu shouted words of support from Aine's arms, extremely excited.

As for why it was in Aine's arms?

Pikachu: If it weren't for Aine protecting me, I would have been eaten by Sylveon!

For the sake of its own life, Pikachu had no choice but to find a woman who looked easy to deceive to protect it.

Tang Xiao Aiyin, or Tang Yin for short!

Commentator: "Next up is the third-place finisher from the eight masters, Xiangzi. As we all know, she is the champion of the Johto region, and also Ash's rival and lover. Her strength and perseverance are truly moving."

"So, who will make it to the finals... Xiao Zhi or Xiang Zi?!"

In front of the large screen, Dante and Karuni stared intently at the screen in front of them. One of these two would be facing them, and the thought of that made them focus all their attention.

Deng Pei: "The semifinals will still be 6-on-6 all-out battles! There are no restrictions on battle time or Pokémon switching. The side that renders all 6 of the opponent's Pokémon unable to battle wins!"

"In addition, in each battle, you can only choose one of the following four to use once: Dynamax, Z-Move, Mega Evolution, and Crystallize!"

Commentator: "In the first round of battles, Ash used Dynamax, while Xiangzi used Mega Evolution. Will they use the same trump cards again in the semifinals?"

Deng Pei: "Then please send out your first Pokémon! Three, two, one, go!!"

"Gengar, I choose you!" "Tremble, hero's spirit! Zacian!"

"gengengenga!" "zacian!"

Zacian unleashed a powerful force, with a unique flow of enhancement emanating from the surrounding area, activating the Indomitable Sword ability.

Unyielding Sword: Attack power is increased upon entering the battlefield.

Commentator: "The very first one is Zacian, the Sword Hero of Galar! How is Ash going to deal with it?!"

It started as a legendary Pokémon. Even though Ash worked hard to train Gengar to Champion level, he still felt immense pressure facing Zacian. However, Ash had one advantage over Xiangzi: his understanding of Pokémon and his emotional connection with them surpassed Xiangzi's.

Xiangzi has only had Zacian for about a month, so he doesn't know much about it and can't fully utilize its capabilities. On the other hand, Ash has been working on each Pokémon for over a year. Given that Ash can fully utilize the Pokémon's capabilities, Xiangzi will actually be at a disadvantage.

Moreover, this is a 1-on-1 Pokémon battle, so Zacian's power was limited to a certain extent from the very beginning.

Deng Pei: "Battle begins!"

"Zaniai, play!" Xiangzi took the initiative, as she only wanted to fulfill her promise to Xiaozhi.

Therefore, we must defeat Ash here.

"Zacian!" Zacian charged forward, its body radiating a unique, soft light, its target aimed directly at its opponent—Gengar.

"Respond with a surprise attack!" Ash naturally had a strategy to deal with Zacian's incredible speed.

"Gengegeng!" Gengar, with its extraordinary speed, rushed in front of Zacian so fast that it was almost impossible to catch its figure.

"Zo?!" Just as it approached Zacian, Gengar swung its right fist, and Zacian was hit by Gengar's right fist.

After being attacked, Zaxiang's body slid a distance on the ground, and the light dimmed considerably, but his body was not seriously injured.

This is the legendary Pokémon Zacian, which cannot be defeated through normal battles.

Surprise Attack [Evil]: Allows you to attack before your opponent. If your opponent's move is not an attack, the attack will fail.

Dark-type moves are not very effective against Fairy/Steel Zacian, and Zacian's bulk is not so easily defeated.

"Gengar, keep your distance!" Ash was planning to attack from a distance.

"Genga!" Gengar moved quickly in the sky, maintaining its distance from Zacian as a long-range special attacker to avoid being attacked by Zacian's close-range attacks.

Unfortunately, Ash, keeping your distance is useless when facing Zacian as your opponent.

"The power of the moon!" Xiangzi stretched out his index finger, looking at it with a confident expression.

1396 Infernape makes its debut

"So!" Just then, the image of the moon suddenly appeared behind Souxiang. It gathered its power, forming a pink energy ball in front of its nose, and fired the energy ball at Gengar without hesitation.

Shua la——!

“gen!”

The energy ball struck Gengar at incredible speed, hitting it directly in the abdomen.

"Genga!!" Gengar was knocked away, its body slicing through the air before landing in mid-air and falling straight down.

Commentator: "What astonishing lunar power! It's impossible to keep up with its attacks!"

"Charge! Zacian!" At this moment, Xiangzi pressed his advantage, not wanting to give Xiaozhi any chance.

"Soaring!" Soaring moved quickly after hitting Gengar, attempting to press his advantage.

Wait a minute, things have gone a little too smoothly.

Is this a deliberate attempt to lure me in?

"Zanxiang, take a step back!" "Cang?!"

Just as it was rapidly approaching Gengar, Xiangzi suddenly hesitated and made Zacian take a step back.

Knowing Xiaozhi very well, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Gengar, Black Gaze!" Ash was deliberately trying to lure the two Pokémon closer together.

"Gen!" Gengar floated up quickly after being knocked away, its dark eyes gleaming.

"Use the Giant Beast Slash to cut it!"

"Zacian!" Zacian sensed Gengar's black gaze, and its sword immediately grew enormous and emitted a blue light.

Wielding a massive sword, it slashed at Gengar with such speed that it was almost impossible to dodge.

Giant Slash: Transforms into a giant sword and slashes at the opponent. If the opponent is in Dynamax form, the damage is doubled.

boom!

This sword strike cleaved through Gengar's black gaze energy, shredding it to pieces.

"Soar!" Soaring rushed toward Gengar at an astonishing speed. Its target was Gengar. It moved in mid-air. Soaring could fly. Of all the legendary beings, it was probably the only one that couldn't fly.

"Gengar, using this on yourself will only bring more misfortune!"

Xiao Zhi didn't hesitate and swung his hand forward.

“gengenga!”

Gengar did not dodge Zacian's attack; its eyes emitted a purplish-red light, and then a huge eyeball-shaped energy body formed above its head.

"What?!" Xiangzi didn't react in time, and the energy body began to release multiple deep blue halos towards Gengar.

The halo created a powerful bombardment effect the moment it came into contact with Gengar.

Boom boom boom!

"Gengen!" The force of the explosion sent Gengar flying, its body tumbling through the air, the surrounding air distorted by the shockwave.

"Cang?!" The wind and waves were stirred up, and even the charging Cangxiang was affected, its body had to retreat, showing the power of this attack.

"Use this opportunity to unleash Will-O-Wisp!" A momentary opening appeared, and Ash did not miss the chance.

"Gengengen!" Gengar was not defeated. It floated rapidly in the air, surrounded by a ghostly purple light, and several will-o'-the-wisps, under its control, touched Zacian's body.

"Cang?!" The will-o'-the-wisps flickered like ghosts, colliding repeatedly the moment they came into contact with Cang Xiang.

Commentator: "Under the influence of this will-o'-the-wisp, Zacian's body burst into flames, and it is now in a state of burns, which means that Zacian's physical attacks will be weakened!"

Flames spread across Zacian's body, emitting a dazzling light and a booming sound.

The body occasionally emits flames to indicate that it is in a state of burns.

So this was the original purpose?

The physically powerful Zacian is extremely vulnerable to this attack.

Even Xiangzi was affected by this system, so she could only do her best.

"Keep moving forward! Giant Beast Slash!"

Despite the pain of his burns, Zacian did not give up.

It struggled to fly into the air and moved rapidly toward Gengar.

"Zacian!" Before it, Zacian's sword grew enormous, its blade emitting a blue light. Zacian swung the massive sword, slashing towards Gengar.
