The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Upon reaching the vicinity of the altar on the mountain, the three immediately set up their tent.

Just setting up the tent was enough to exhaust Mamane to the point of collapse.

Kachi immediately began a series of physical training exercises for Mamane, such as being washed by the rushing water under a waterfall, climbing mountains and rocks, and dodging falling logs.

"To sense the spirit of the Alola region and give thanks for the gifts of nature, only by doing so can power surge forth from within."

This is Kaki's teaching philosophy: to successfully use the Z-Move, one must first have good physical strength.

This method is indeed feasible, but for Mamane, a nerdy guy and tech enthusiast, it's no easy task.

By dusk, Mamane was so exhausted she could barely stand up straight.

If it weren't for Kachi's mother, Amara, and sister, Xing'er, bringing them food, Mamane probably wouldn't have been able to get up.

During dinner that evening, Kiawe told Ash and Mammane that the altar was a place for praying to Mount Vera, and that his grandfather often brought him here when he was little.

This is a land blessed by Mount Vera, so special training here will definitely yield results.

In fact, it was in this place that Kaki and BlastTurtlemon first met.

At that moment, Kachi was riding on the fire-breathing dragon, having just delivered the Moo Moo milk from his own ranch to his customers that day, and was heading home.

While passing by by chance, I discovered a wild Blazing Turtle and a wild Iron Claw Lobster battling it out by a pond.

The iron-clawed lobster launched an attack using its claw hammer and water jets.

Although Blaziken is not weak to Water, Crawdible's ability is Adaptability. When using a STAB move, its original 1.5x power boost becomes 2x, and the damage is not low.

After taking those two hits, Blazing Turtle was knocked down. Iron Claw Lobster uttered a few harsh words like "Don't mess with me again" before diving back into the pond.

After some investigation, Kaki discovered that the pond was originally a playground for some wild Pokémon living in the vicinity, such as Sudoku, Floridon, and Mareep.

But one day, this Ironclawed Lobster came here and took over the pond, not allowing other Pokémon to approach, and regarded the pond as its own territory.

The reason Turtonator fought it was to stand up for these weak Pokémon and to fight for the pond.

Unfortunately, Blazing Turtle was no match for Iron Claw Lobster and suffered a defeat.

Although he lost the battle, ever since then, Kachi has been able to see it every day when he flies over here.

Turtonator comes to battle Crawdron every day, wanting to reclaim the pond for the other Pokémon.

Although it always ended in failure, Blazemon never gave up and never gave up.

Kaki was deeply moved by TurtleBeast and would come here from time to time to give it Moo Moo milk. He also had Charizard fight TurtleBeast, giving it special training. While helping TurtleBeast improve its strength, he also taught it some combat techniques, allowing it to successfully learn the new skill Trap Shell.

In the end, Turtonator successfully defeated Crawdron, reclaimed the pond, and returned it to the nearby wild Pokémon.

And because of this, Turtlemon trusted and liked Kiawe, and was thus captured by Kiawe.

After a full day of intensive training, Mamane still seemed to lack confidence in using Z-Moves.

Kaki felt that Mamane needed some external stimulation, so he told Ash about his plan and asked for Ash's opinion. Ash nodded and said it was feasible.

The next morning, Kachi made an excuse that he had run out of firewood and asked Mamane to help him gather some branches.

While Mamane was collecting twigs, she eventually reached the edge of a pond.

Suddenly, a gurgling sound came from the water, followed by a towering column of water, and a wild iron-clawed lobster suddenly leaped out of the pond and landed in front of Mamane.

Seeing such a ferocious Pokémon, and having just heard Kiawe's story about Turtonator fighting Crawdron the night before, Mamane was terrified, tears welling in her eyes.

With Ash and Kiawe not around, Mamane, who is used to relying on others, suddenly lost his sense of direction.

The iron-clawed lobster raised its enormous claw and swung it down at Mamane.

This terrified Mamane, who closed her eyes, covered her head with her hands, and crouched down.

Fortunately, the stag beetle blocked the attack for him in time.

Seeing the diligent stag beetle, Mamane felt a little more confident and ordered the stag beetle to launch an attack. After dodging the opponent's crab claw hammer, it was hit by the water jet.

Mamane had the stag beetle unleash its electric attack, but the iron claw lobster dodged it.

Mamane realized he had to stop the Iron Claw Lobster's movements, so he had the Pannon Beetle use its Silk Spin.

However, the silk threads spit out by the stag beetle were easily cut by the iron clawed lobster with its huge pincers, and the stag beetle was sent flying with a backhand punch.

Seeing this, cowardice took over Mamane's heart again, and he gave up the fight, crying and telling the stag beetle to run away quickly.

But the stag beetle is not as weak as its trainer; it continues to fight and contend with the iron claw lobster.

But it was knocked away by a Crabhammer, and seeing that Crawdex's Crabhammer was coming again, Mamane finally awakened, realizing that Vikavolt hadn't given up, and as its trainer, it couldn't give up either.

In a moment of quick thinking, the stag beetle fired a signal beam at the ground, using the reaction force to move the stag beetle into the air, successfully dodging the crab hammer.

Then it used its electric discharge to hit the iron-clawed lobster head-on, a move that proved extremely effective.

Using a signal beam on the ground was completely unnecessary. Why not just let the stag beetle fly up to avoid the attack? Its wings weren't injured.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but complain.

That's right, this is exactly what Kachi planned. After Kachi captured the Blazemon, the Iron Claw Lobster had already reformed and become good friends with Kachi and the Blazemon.

Kaki's plan was to have Crawdoon fight Mamane, using external stimulation to help Mamane quickly master Z-Moves.

To put their minds at ease, the two of them secretly followed Mamane after he set off to collect branches, keeping a close watch on him.

At the same time, as if sensing Mamane's strong feelings, the Z-bracelet on Mamane's wrist and the Z-crystal embedded in it emitted a brownish-yellow light.

Seeing this, Mamane no longer hesitated, revealed his Z-Bracelet in preparation for his attack, and shouted,
