The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"Of course."

Don't worry, Shui Lian, I will avenge you.

"The grievances you and Primarin suffered today, I will make Guzma pay back every penny tomorrow, and at least ten times over," Ash laughed.

"Ok!"

Shui Lian nodded emphatically in response, smiling sweetly at Xiao Zhi. She never imagined that Xiao Zhi would lose.

Silent all night.

The next morning, it was the fourth day of the Alola League Manalo Conference.

Early in the morning, Kiawe came to find Ash and asked Ash to train with him for a while.

As a warm-up before battling Guzma, Ash had Kommo-o and Kiawe's Turtonator practice for a while.

"Kiawe, you're really energetic today," Ash said with a smile.

"Yes, I'll be facing Gladio in the semifinals, so I have to go all out," Kachi said, clenching his fist.

A battle is underway here, and next to Rowlet, who is fast asleep in the backpack Ash placed under the tree...

Meltan suddenly jumped out of his backpack and ran to an open space. The golden nut on his head spun rapidly, making a "ring ring ring" sound.

The sound naturally attracted the attention of Kiawe and Ash.

"What is Meltan doing?" Kachi asked, puzzled.

"It's summoning its companions," Ash chuckled.

"Summon companions?"

Kachi still didn't understand why Meltan would summon its companions.

Shall we form a cheerleading squad to cheer on Ash in his competition?

Seeing Kiawe's confused look, Ash smiled but didn't explain immediately.

Ash's Meltan stood in the open space, its body trembling, and a series of clear "Meltan! Meltan!" cries emanated from its liquid metal throat.

This is like a signal that crosses the sea.

Before long, countless silver lights appeared on the surrounding open ground, and hundreds and thousands of Meltans emerged from outside the venue. They wore golden caps of different sizes and moved towards the vicinity with liquid-like steps, leaving behind halos of metallic fragments behind them.

These curious little creatures spontaneously formed a circle, surrounding Ash's Meltan in the center.

As Ash's Meltan rhythmically shook its nuts, all the Meltans simultaneously began to perform a mysterious dance:

Their flexing, liquid limbs allow their nut-shaped heads to sway from side to side, and when their bodies collide, they produce a "clinking" metallic resonance, as if playing an ancient melody.

Sunlight shone on their molten steel bodies, refracting a flowing silver glow. The light at the center of the circle grew brighter and brighter, gradually forming visible electrical patterns.

At that moment, Ash's Meltan suddenly stopped dancing, tilted its head back, and let out a long cry.

The surrounding Meltans immediately responded, transforming into streaks of silver light and rushing into its body.

The intense yellow light emitted by the electric current blinded the two of them, and within that yellow light, a light of evolution was emerging.

As energy was injected, Ash's Meltan's body rapidly expanded.

The liquid metal gradually hardened and took shape, forming a solid, silver body. The movable parts were composed of liquid metal.

Nine dark gray hexagonal nuts emerged from its body, precisely embedding themselves in key areas of its shoulders, arms, torso, and feet. A red, wire-like tail swayed behind it, and its arms could bend dramatically.

The originally small nut head has become larger, and a small dark gray sphere floating inside gleams with a sharp light. A large golden nut encircles the neck, like a collar of honor.

Meltan has evolved into Melmeta!

The fully evolved Melmeta stood in the center of the arena, its silver steel body gleaming in the sunlight.

It moved its thick arms, the joints of the nuts making a heavy "click" sound, and then suddenly clenched its fists, using centrifugal force to swing the nuts out with two powerful punches, shaking the ground and creating shallow cracks.

"That's Steel Punch Double! That's great, Meltan, oh no, Melmetal, you've not only evolved, but you've also learned your signature move, Steel Punch Double!" Ash exclaimed in delight.

Steel Punch Double Strike—this is a move that countless Steel-type physical attackers dream of!

Scizor is asking when it will be able to send me Iron Fist Double Strike.

巨钳螳螂配合技术高手特性，它使出的钢拳双击可是60x1.5x1.5x2，足足270威力啊。

The other Steel-type physical attackers said they also wanted Steel Fist Double, or if they didn't have it, they'd be happy to send them Maximus Hammer from Greatsmith.

Just like how Steel-type Special Attackers hoped to be sent down to the Gold Rush,

Electric-type physical attackers want to drop Volt Strike.

Rock-type physical attackers want Diamond Storm deployed.

and many more.

Back to the present.

Ash's voice cut through the noise, and Melmet seemed to understand as well. She swung her fists again, and Steel-type energy condensed into a dazzling arc of light on her fists.

Ash looked at his enormous yet still familiar companion, a bright smile spreading across his face. He reached out and patted the Michelin Man-like figure, laughing as he said...

"Meru Meta, please continue to guide me in the upcoming matches."

Mel Meta looked down at Ash, the black ball on its head swaying slightly, emitting a deep and firm "Meta!" sound, its steel fists brimming with fighting spirit.

"System, view Melmeta's information."

"Ding!"

Once upon a time, Melmetal was worshipped for his power to produce iron.

For some unknown reason, he suddenly woke up after 3000 years.

When its lifespan is nearing its end, its body will rust and disintegrate, and eventually the tiny fragments will be resurrected as Meltan.

Its punch, powered by centrifugal force and powered by a heavy nut, is considered the strongest in the Pokémon world.

The Cyclops described in myths from distant regions is actually Melmeta's Gigantamax form.

It emits a powerful beam of electricity from a hole in its abdomen, capable of vaporizing an opponent with a single strike.

The evolved Melmetal's strength has greatly increased, adding another fierce and powerful member to Ash's roster.

However, the current MeroMeta team is not yet capable of fighting.

Just like in the original anime, Melmetal, who had just evolved, was no match for Gladion's well-trained Silvally.

Although it has attribute disadvantages, the main problem lies with Melmetta itself.
