The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

On the one hand, they are not yet fully familiar with their new evolved powers.

On the other hand, it didn't fully integrate with Ash's instructions. For example, in the original anime, it would charge forward without listening to commands from the very beginning, almost shocking Pikachu.

In this life, Melmetal's early evolution gave Ash ample time to help it train.

The skills Melmeta currently possesses, apart from the newly learned Steel Fist Double Strike after its evolution, are completely unsuitable for the other three skills.

Ash's proposed skill plan is to keep Melmetal's Steel Punch Double Strike, and replace the other three skills with Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, and Thunderbolt.

By then, when Mehmet is almost fully trained, it won't matter whether he faces Kaczy or Grazio in the final.

Its Sildenafil is a level 2 legendary Pokémon, but my Melmetal is a mythical Pokémon, and its total base stats are 30 points higher than yours.

Let's have a battle between two mythical beast men!

Ash, who was once brutally beaten by Darkrai in the original anime, has now become Darkrai himself. The dragon-slaying boy has become the dragon.

But that's okay,

The dragon is a symbol of emperors!

Now, Kaki was so shocked by Melmeta's evolution that he was speechless.

Ash asked Kiawe to keep it a secret, as he wanted to give everyone a surprise during the competition.

It's still early, and there aren't many people around.

Kachi said no problem.

At that moment, I don't know if it was because I felt someone was missing next to me, or because I was disturbed by the noise,

Rowlet, who had been sleeping in the backpack, opened its sleepy eyes, lazily flapped its wings, flew out of the backpack, and wobbled down onto Ash's shoulder.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it! When Rowlet saw the enormous creature in front of it, it was so startled that it was wide awake. Upon closer inspection, it realized that its little brother had evolved!

The little guy who used to hide behind Rowlet has now grown up to be able to stand on his own. Rowlet is both surprised and very happy.

It flew over to Melmetta and carefully examined it from various angles. Melmetta greeted it in a very friendly manner, after all, this was its older brother.

Finally, Rowlet actually crawled into the hole in Melmetta's abdomen, and looked quite comfortable, but it looked very strange.

What's even more surprising is that Rowlet's body fits the hole perfectly, as if it were tailor-made for him, which is quite amusing.

So you really are saying, "I'll make up the belly button," right?

Melmetal's evolution greatly boosted Ash's confidence.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ash put Melmetal back into its Poké Ball and Rowlet back into his backpack, then slung the backpack over his shoulder.

"Xiao Zhi, what are you doing? Practice with me a little longer."

"Kachi, don't forget, it's almost time to pick up Xing'er."

"Xing'er!"

Reminded by Ash, Kiawe realized that his sister, Sylvia, had said she would come to the arena to cheer him on in today's match, and it was almost time.

Kachi, being a doting brother, immediately ran towards the cable car station, afraid of keeping his sister waiting too long.

Xiao Zhi shook his head, chuckled helplessly, and hurriedly followed.

Kachi usually wouldn't let Xing'er do anything at home, even moving things, so naturally he wouldn't let Xing'er climb mountains. Therefore, he let her take the cable car up the mountain, which was easy and she could also enjoy the scenery along the way. How nice!

But when the two arrived at the cable car station, they waited and waited but couldn't see Xing'er anywhere.

With the agreed time approaching, Kachi grew anxious, worried that something might have happened to his sister, otherwise why hadn't the agreed time arrived?

"How strange! Why, why is she gone, Xing'er!"

"Kachi, calm down."

Xiao Zhi comforted him for a while, then went to ask a staff member at the cable car station, and that's when he found out...

Since the semi-finals began, the number of spectators coming to Ranakira Mountain to watch the matches has been increasing, which has further exacerbated the already limited capacity of the cable car. Therefore, the cable car opened half an hour earlier today.

The little girl that Xiaozhi and his friends described had arrived here half an hour earlier.

Upon hearing this, Kachi immediately regained his energy and took off running towards the arena, shouting as he did so.

"Oh, I see. My Xing'er must have gone to the arena alone. I'll come find you now."

Ash smiled helplessly again, wondering how Kiawe had come to that conclusion, but he had no choice but to follow suit.

On the way, they also met Lillie and her three companions. Hearing that Xing'er had arrived here earlier, they also helped with the search.

Meanwhile, Xing'er, who had arrived earlier, was indeed heading towards the arena, but she couldn't find her way and didn't know how to get there.

Along the way, she also encountered several members of the Skull Team who were rapping and scribbling on the walls of the street.

Although she didn't have any Pokémon yet, her sense of justice made it impossible for her to ignore this behavior, so she immediately stepped forward to reprimand Team Skull.

But these people clearly don't know the meaning of shame. Faced with Xing'er's accusations, they not only showed no shame, but also cursed at Xing'er and even released Pokémon to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.

At that moment, several white blades descended from the sky, instantly rendering their Pokémon unable to battle.

Upon closer inspection, the group realized that it was Gladion and Silvally who had arrived.

"Get out of here!"

Gladio's cold words and sharp gaze made the group's legs tremble instantly.

After taking back their Pokémon, they uttered a few classic villainous lines like "My older brother won't let you get away with this," and then made a hasty retreat.

"Um, thank you," Xing'er said.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"No."

"What's your name?"

"Xing'er."

"Xing'er?"

"Let me tell you, my brother is playing in today's league game, and I'm here to cheer him on."

Is her brother in a match?

Coupled with his striking resemblance to Kaki, Gladion immediately knew the answer.

"Could you be... Kachi's sister?!"

"Yes, do you know my brother?"

"Yes, come with me. You want to go to the arena, right?"

"Correct."

As she spoke, Xing'er stepped forward and took Gladgio's hand.

This made Gladion blush instantly. Looking at Xing'er, who was holding his hand, Gladion seemed to see Lillie when she was a child, both of them so well-behaved and cute.
