Ditto doesn't move

Water Lily, Lillie, and Mao—the girls couldn't bear to watch any longer and covered their eyes.

Kachi, Mamane, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and couldn't speak.

Xiao Zhi was so bored that everyone watching was going numb.

If you were to ask him, "Ash, you want to become a Pokémon Master, so what does it take to become a Pokémon Master?"

It's estimated that even Xiaozhi himself wouldn't be able to give a specific answer.

But even someone like me, even someone like me, knows this.

If there is no respect for the opponent, if it is simply the strong toying with the weak!

Such a battle absolutely cannot be called a battle!

"Stop fighting!!!"

The incredibly talented boy, who loved Pokémon, rushed forward with tears in his eyes, opening his arms and calling out.

"Didn't you see? Detective Mongoose and Rattata... they've already lost! To treat the losers so cruelly is utterly despicable!"

"Professor, make them stop! If you don't come, Pikachu, we'll handle this ourselves!"

"Kapp!!!"

Tapu Koko, which had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly flew out and blocked Ash's path, seemingly warning him not to interfere with the battle.

And accompanying this was a maniacal laugh, as if Snorlax had heard a clown's speech.

On this stormy night after the typhoon passed.

The laughter echoing through the lush cave made it all seem like a celebration of a villain's successful plot.

Like a beloved person being taken away and being powerless to stop it, the extraordinary boy who loves Pokémon experienced a faint pain for the first time.

Kapok Chimney, I thought that as the guardian of the island, although you were a little mischievous, you must be pure and kind at heart.

Why, why is it you who has to stop me?

I simply don’t know what it means.

The giant electric sea lion cast this look at Snorlax.

The latter nodded in strong agreement.

The emperor once said that sympathizing with the weak is a kind human nature, but it often leads to ignoring certain facts because people are too convinced of what they want to see.

drink!!!

As the strong ones, they disdained to explain their every move, but they were still influenced by the extraordinary boy.

accurate!

Because they were unhappy, they unleashed their strongest techniques without prior arrangement!

"Enough, Ash!"

Dr. Kukui, accompanied by his Blazing Roaring Tiger, roared:

"Your words are an insult to Detective Mongoose and Radamanthys!"

Unexpectedly, Dr. Kukui did not offer Ash gentle words of comfort, but instead issued a stern rebuke.

Isn't it amazing that Professor Kukui, who is known as the godfather of Pokémon and has a carefree, cheerful, and outgoing personality, like a buddy, can also have this side to him?

When Ash uses the Rotom Pokédex to give a fake speech, he will directly rebuke him and make him apologize.

She also strictly requires Xiaozhi not to leave his schoolbag lying around when he gets home, but to put it carefully in the attic.

Breakfast should be eaten properly and should not be replaced by snacks such as donuts.

Even if it's for Pokémon, you should tell an adult before going out in the middle of the night; you can't just leave without a word.

"Didn't you also watch the video of Mr. Xia Ming guiding the wolfhound to defeat the charging bear?"

“Take a closer look at Detective Mongoose and Rada.”

Even when they were being tossed around like toys, did they give up the attack?

"What makes you so presumptuous as to assume they've lost? What makes you so presumptuous as to admit defeat and beg for forgiveness on their behalf?!"

"Knowing that victory is impossible, yet still fighting with all one's might—that is the determination of a true man!"

Humph.

Da Dian Haiyan snorted softly, dodging Detective Mongoose's counterattack.

What can mere humans possibly understand about us?

Since he considers himself the overlord, how could he possibly kneel down and beg for mercy in front of his underlings and clansmen?

Besides, yours should be almost ready by now, right?

As if understanding perfectly, the mongoose detective wiped the blood from his mouth and stood up again.

That's right. I've persevered until now, even if you, you bastard, have to bounce me around like a ball. I won't give up so easily.

Do you know how I became the overlord?

I've lost countless times... but in the end, I'm still the one who becomes the overlord.

That's because I'm extremely good at learning.

Using unknown techniques, I now understand why you are so powerful.

If you only focus on firing fixed moves like cannonballs, you'll never be able to defeat this bastard.

The moves weren't as simple as I'd imagined.

That's right! You bastard! You've finally grasped everything we've ever grasped!

What you are going through now is exactly what we have been through!

Come on, use everything you've just learned to overwhelm me!

Then, be defeated by me, who has unleashed even greater power.

Only in this way can it be called a battle!

Come on, don't make me look down on you!

You bastard! Don't look down on me!

You call this thing the rotation of life, right? Then watch it carefully!

Damn it, life is spinning at 5,000 horsepower!

Come! Come! Come!

Although they claim to have grasped the other person's secrets, if techniques could be so easily understood and learned...

How could the overlord Detective Mongoose be content to stay in this place? He would have long since become an emperor.

However, the ultimate move it unleashed did indeed have the rudiments of what could be called technology.

Why?

Why?

The ordinary Z-crystal it carried with it suddenly shattered in this earth-shattering attack. A mysterious power from another world and ancient times stirred its heart, telling it mysterious mysteries.

But that's just someone else's profound wisdom.

If it were something someone else lent me, it would absolutely be no match for the dog in front of me!

Then defeat me! This is my unique secret, my unique technique:

A desperate, all-out charge!

Crouch, an unremarkable trait, neither Strong Jaw nor the hidden trait Adaptability.

This is the starting point for the Mongoose Detective's skills. Because he is very good at lying in wait, even before his evolution, the Mongoose Detective has an unparalleled understanding of how enemies will escape.

Because they know how to escape, they also know how to unleash their greatest power in an instant.

"This is the ultimate invincible impact represented by a normal Z-Move, no, it's an even stronger version of the Z-Move!"

Clutching his frozen right arm, the island king Hara, who had rushed to the scene, sighed.

In the arena, it was as if Farfetch'd had only mastered the move "Meteor Thrust" after achieving ultimate sublimation.

The mongoose detective, from the end of the cave, rammed the giant electric sea lion straight into the wall, shattering the rocks, and continued its momentum until they disappeared from sight.

But it was precisely the stimulation of such a formidable rival that finally made the once-powerful overlord, Rada, realize something.

The terrifying mystery known as the Black Hole Devouring All Things is being transformed into its power.

"Mr. Hala? What happened to you? Who attacked you?" Dr. Kukui noticed the newcomer and asked with concern.

The island king gave a wry smile:

"I just encountered a Pokémon I've never seen before. After defeating three of my Pokémon in one go, that Pokémon seemed to be exhausted and retreated."

"What Pokémon is that?"

"A mosquito coil frog that uses freezing punches."

P.S.: This is a year-end bonus, please accept it with gratitude.

I don't understand you people at all, always talking about wanting to see rivers of blood.

When it comes to actually beating up children, you feel it's not hard enough.

What a coincidence, me too.

Book 1 The Happy Little Ditto: Chapter 78 My Lord, Times Have Changed

If the Ten Heroes choose the Overlord as their opponent, then what are Tenno Yoki and Woji Sanji doing?

Although the Emperor did not say it outright, how could the Heavenly Kings, who had honed their skills to the level of divine techniques, not seek out their ideal opponents?

If you see others fighting but don't get a share, you're worse off than dead!

Silence, a silence as profound as death.

Depression, the kind of depression one feels when being enslaved like a bull.

On this day when the typhoon passed, the four kings of the islands gathered here felt the same low spirits as the typhoon had passed.

Don't assume that just because humans have mastered the technology to tame Pokémon and make them their partners, they've become some kind of world rulers.

In this world, Pokémon have always occupied the top of the food chain.

Whenever a legendary or wild Pokémon uprising occurs, it is usually humans who suffer the most.

If the villainous group were to launch a large-scale attack, it would actually be simple for those present.

If we can't beat them, can't the league beat them?

Before joining the alliance, we couldn't deal with the villainous organization. After joining the alliance, we still can't deal with the villainous organization. So, wasn't joining the alliance a waste of time?

Just like the famous theory that Type-Moon can only be good at its own home, no matter how high-end you boast, you lose all your prestige when it comes to external affairs.

In the battle for supremacy among wild Pokémon, even if the League wanted to intervene, it would be morally wrong.

Even if they forcibly intervened, setting aside other legendary Pokémon, the angered guardian deities of the four islands alone would be too much for them to handle.

If it were placed in a region like Chaldea or Padia, it would be easier to handle.

Even if the energy release from crystallization and Dynamax leads to powerful Pokémon running rampant...

Why don't I just give up and do nothing?

Perhaps there are powerful trainers who can capture these Pokémon and thus improve their own strength.

So, can Alora just give up like this?

The answer is no.

Z-Crystals—this is why the King of the Island cannot stand idly by.

Alola has a long-standing tradition of the Great Pilgrimage, where players challenge powerful Pokémon and obtain Z-Golden Stones representing their respective types, thus learning important Z-Moves.

This is the source of Alola's confidence in maintaining independence even after joining the league.
