The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Ash's Incineroar was astonished to discover that it could smell the same scent on the Litten as on Professor Kukui's Incineroar.

When the young Kukui saw Ash's Incineroar, it immediately showed an expression of immense joy.

It's like a little boy seeing that his friend's parents have bought him an expensive toy he really wanted.

He immediately rushed forward excitedly and said,

"Wow! It's a Blazing Roaring Tiger! Come here, come here, be good."

"What's wrong? Let's be friends."

When faced with Kukuina's playful greetings from when he was a child, which were like teasing a cat, Incineroar simply didn't want to pay any attention to him.

"Alright, Incineroar, don't be so cold," Ash said with a smile.

"Big brother, are you the trainer of this Incineroar?" Kukui asked when he was a child.

"correct."

At that moment, young Kukui also noticed Ash's Z-Bracelet on his right wrist and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, that's cool! It's a Z-Bracelet! Are you on your island trek?"

"Yes."

"That one above should be the electric Z, right?"

Look, this is my Fire Z!

After saying that, young Kukui took out a genuine Flare-Z from his pocket and showed it to Ash.

"I didn't expect you to possess a Z-grade crystal at such a young age. That's amazing!"

"I have Fire Z too, look."

Ash smiled and took out his FireZ.

"I want to see the Z-Move!"

Show me the ultimate, super-powerful flare round!

You have a Z-band, right? You must know how to use it.

"Fire-spotted Cat wants to see it too, right?"

"Meow!"

Litten responded, its excitement no less than that of Kukui when it was a child.

Ash could not refuse this request from his little fanboy.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Incineroar." Ash stepped forward and patted Incineroar on the shoulder.

“Blazing flame!”

Ash wasn't the only one to gain a little fanboy; Incineroar also gained a Litten fanboy. Naturally, Incineroar didn't resist showing off in front of his fanboy; on the contrary, he was quite happy to do so.

So Ash attached the Fire Z-Move to his Z-Power Bracelet and shouted,

"Here we go, Blazing Roaring Tiger, this is our all-out attack!"

Super powerful ultimate flame bomb!!!"

A scorching fireball, comparable in size to a Dynamaxed Poké Ball, was instantly condensed in front of Incineroar.

He then hurled it forward with all his might, shattering a huge rock in the open space in front of him into pieces.

A powerful energy storm spread outwards, almost blowing away the young Kukui.

Ash couldn't help but chuckle. No wonder he hadn't seen such a large rock in this open space in his original timeline; it turned out he had blown it up.

"Well done, Blazing Roaring Tiger."

“Blazing flame!”

Ash stepped forward, offered a compliment, and gave Incineroar a high five.

"Awesome! So this is the power of the Super Ultimate Blaze! This is the first time I've ever seen a Fire-type Z-Move."

"Isn't that amazing, Litten?" Kukui exclaimed excitedly as a child.

"Meow!"

At that moment, young Kukui noticed that, perhaps due to the immense power of the Z-Move, his notebook fell to the ground after he was blown away, and a small corner of it appeared to be scorched by the aftershocks of the fireball.

"Sorry."

"It's alright. This just proves how powerful that Z-Move was. You guys are really amazing."

Having given Professor Kukui a real show of bravado, Ash was very satisfied and immediately waved his hands repeatedly.

"Not at all, not at all, keep it low-key, keep it low-key."

"Wow, that's amazing! Just like the King of the Islands! I know, you're the King of Moves!" Kukui exclaimed excitedly, pointing at Ash as a child.

"King of Moves, huh? That sounds pretty good," Ash said with a smile.

"Let's battle now. I want to see more Z-Moves."

"Okay."

Although the outcome of this battle was already clear without even watching, since both sides only brought one Pokémon each, it was naturally a Litten vs. Incineroar.

How could Litten possibly beat Incineroar? If it could, why would it need to evolve?

Furthermore, Ash is unlikely to use the Z-Move that Kukui wanted to see when he was a child in this battle.

Using Incineroar to fight Litten, especially against a Kukui that wasn't yet a trainer, was already an act of bullying the weak.

If they use Z-Moves again, that would be too unfair; what's the point of fighting then?

However, Ash did not refuse Kukui's request when he was a child, and this courage to challenge the strong is commendable.

When Kukui was a child, he jumped up excitedly after hearing that Ash had agreed to his challenge.

"Hooray! That's wonderful!"

Previously, when he asked Hala to fight him, Hala refused, saying that Kukui was still too young.

However, Ash still whispered something in Incineroar's ear.

"Blazing Roaring Tiger, go easy on him later, don't let him lose too badly."

But this whisper was overheard by young Kukui, who possessed exceptional hearing, and he stomped his feet in anger.

"There's no such match. Don't treat me like a child."

"King of Techniques, you'd better show your true skills."

"Alright then, we'll fight with all our might. We'll let you have three moves first."

"Alright, take this, King of Techniques!"

Litten, use Spark!

The sparks that Litten spat out with all its might were extinguished by Infernal Roar Tiger with just a flick of its finger.

"what why?"

This wasn't even a proper attack, let alone a basic strike, yet it blocked our full-force attack.

"They're both Fire-type Pokémon, but Fire-type moves don't do much damage," Ash chuckled.

"Then, Litten, use Bite."

Litten pounced and bit down hard on Incineroar's shoulder, but Incineroar didn't feel any pain; instead, it looked extremely comfortable.

This left the young Kukui and Litten dumbfounded once again, while Ash couldn't help but sigh.

On one hand, Litten's Attack stat has been lowered by one stage by Incineroar's Intimidate ability, which it activated as soon as it entered the battlefield.

On the other hand, Incineroar is a Dark-type, so its resistance to Dark is not very effective.

Also, Litten's Attack stat is so low; for a baby Pokémon, its base stats are way too low.

Furthermore, the base power of the Bite skill is only 60, which is far too low.

Add to that the level difference and the huge gap in strength, how could they possibly defeat our universe's number one Pokémon—Incineroar?
