The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"Then you can become the tournament champion and have the qualification to challenge the even stronger Elite Four trainers."

The Elite Four are the four most powerful trainers in each region.

Above them is the strongest trainer in the region, known as the Regional Champion.

"If we can defeat them, we can take their place," Xiao Zhi said.

"The tournament champion! One of the Four Heavenly Kings! The regional champion! They are absolutely amazing."

When Kukui was little, his eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he couldn't wait to go and participate in the Pokémon League tournament and have a great battle.

"Actually, I have a dream, which is to become a Pokémon Master," Ash said.

"Pokémon Master? This is the first time I've heard of that. It sounds amazing!"

"Then I want to become a Pokémon Master too."

Xiao Zhi smiled and asked,

"By the way, Akku, you seem to really like that book you're holding."

"Yes, this is the 'Pokémon Mega Move Stamp,' which records all the moves of all Pokémon." Young Kukui proudly held up the book.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"But seeing it in person is still more shocking. How can such an amazing DD golden hook arm be released?"

"With more practice, you can do it too," Xiaozhi said.

At the same time, having just used Fire Z, the two engaged in another battle.

The commotion also attracted many wild Pokémon living in the nearby forest.

And they were all Kukui's friends from when he was a child, and he was very familiar with them.

At the same time, the ground suddenly began to tremble, and the tremors became stronger and stronger.

Xiao Zhi looked in the direction from which the sound came, and what he saw shocked him.

It turned out to be an enormous, decaying wood spirit that had walked out of the forest.

Ash recognized it immediately as a Totem Pokémon, but its size was simply too exaggerated.

A normal Woodpecker is 1.5 meters tall, and Ash himself has a shiny Woodpecker.

This is the thirteenth Totem Pokémon that Ash has encountered.

Of the twelve Totem Pokémon Ash had previously encountered, they were generally about three times larger than their ordinary counterparts.

That's already considered quite large.

If we apply this calculation to the Wood Demon, then the Overlord Wood Demon's height should be around 4.5 meters, right?

But this overlord Wood Fairy's height is simply too incredible. To put it this way, Ash, who is over 1.7 meters tall, is only about the same height as its tree roots in front of it.

It must be at least ten meters tall, and standing in the forest, it is taller than the trees in the forest. Its terrifying height is unimaginable.

Upon encountering this overlord Wood Sprite, the young Kukui showed no fear whatsoever.

Instead, it showed a very pleasant surprise, and immediately ran towards it with Litten, shouting as it did so.

"Wow, Mr. Xiu, you're here too."

"Master Xiu?" Xiao Zhi asked in confusion.

"Yes, the old man, Woodpecker, is also called Old Man Woodpecker. He is the dominant Pokémon in this forest."

"Let me tell you, my Flare Z was given to me by Lord Kukui, it's really awesome, right?" the young Kukui explained.

"So this is ah."

At this moment, Old Man Xiu suddenly couldn't help but sneeze several times in a row.

Because of its enormous size, its sneezing sounds like an earthquake, and the leaves on its canopy fall off incessantly with each sneeze.

"Master Xiu, what brings you here again? Wait a minute, Master Xiu."

Under Ash's puzzled gaze, the young Kukui climbed onto the massive back of the old man with Litten, then gave instructions to Litten.

"Firefly, use your claw attack."

Firefly immediately stretched out its claws with the force of scraping a gua sha and scratched Xiuye's back. Xiuye ​​immediately stopped sneezing and even had a happy smile on his face, looking very comfortable.

"What do you mean by 'again'?" Ash asked.

"Sometimes my back gets itchy, and then I can't help but keep sneezing."

I tried many methods, and finally found that the Litten's claws worked the best. The pressure was just right; only small claws like Litten's can apply that force.

Xiao Zhi nodded. It seems that having weak attack power isn't entirely without its advantages; at least it can be used to tickle others.

But Xiaozhi still had some doubts.

Since Woodpecker is a Ghost-type, it should theoretically be immune to Normal-type moves like Scratch. Perhaps it's used for tickling, not attacking.

If the conditions are right, you can directly use the tickling skill.

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, and a light drizzle began to fall.

The dominant Woodpecker mobilized its Grass-type energy, causing the trees closest to this clearing in the forest to bend their trunks, sheltering the wild Pokémon from the rain.

This made Ash marvel once again at the incredible power of the Totem Pokémon.

Ash and young Kukui took shelter from the rain under the massive body of the old man.

When the rain stopped and the sky cleared, Old Man Xiu suddenly started sneezing again, and the force and frequency of the sneezes were much stronger than before.

When Kukui was little, he thought that the back of the old man was itchy again, so he quickly asked Litten to scratch the old man's back again. But after scratching, he found that the old man was still sneezing.

The power of aura told Ash that there was something inside the canopy above the tree above the old man's head.

So he climbed up with Kukui when he was little, and found several baby flies inside. Their wings were stuck together because they were wet from the rain, so they couldn't fly.

And it was precisely because of these things that Grandpa Xiu felt so uncomfortable, as if he had lice in his hair.

After Ash and his younger self Kukui learned about the situation, they worked together to help the Burrowing Fly separate their stuck wings, allowing them to fly out of the tree canopy.

The old man immediately felt comfortable and showed a very satisfied expression.

At the same time, a pinkish-purple rhomboid crystal with a huge open eye pattern on it was ejected from the body of the old man and landed in Ash's palm. It was a Psychic Z.

"Ding! It is detected that the host has obtained important items."

Name: Super Z

Note: This can be used to create Z-Crystals for battle, which can upgrade Psychic-type moves into Z-Moves.

"This...this is Psychic Z! Is it for me?!" Ash exclaimed with immense joy.

I never expected that time travel would bring such unexpected gains.

"This is a reward from Master Xiu. I only got this Fire Z after I helped Master Xiu," Kukui said with a smile when he was a child.
