What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

Since that's the case... for now, it's up to him to do it.

Then, Lusamine's voice rang out, causing Ash to frown slightly.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, please protect Lillie and go, leave this place quickly."

The voice was extremely sorrowful, as if they had given up.

Indeed, if they continue to stay in the Ultimate Cave, they will eventually be unable to withstand Nihilego's power and end up trapped here.

Xiao Zhi could only minimize the risks and protect the girls as much as possible.

But Ash also wants to save Lusamine.

Whether it's Pokémon or humans, everything must be saved.

190 Golden Healing Shuriken!

"Don't give up, it's not over yet. I won't leave. Lillie is working hard for you, and you can't just give up like this. Let's go back together, Rosamune, and go back to your family."

"The misunderstanding has been cleared up. Your estrangement from your children is simply due to Zaobo's actions. Don't you want to see yourself happily together with them?"

"If you want to see it, grab my hand."

Ash stood there, his gaze unwavering, a warm hand outstretched towards Lusamine, a hand filled with trust and expectation.

"..." Lusamine's eyes lit up again, and she extended a fair and slender hand, her little finger trembling slightly.

It was probably love for family that awakened the other person.

The two became so close in that instant that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

Unfortunately, just as they were about to get close, the parasitic Nihilego made its move. Its dark tentacles grabbed Rusamine and pulled her back, showing no intention of letting her go. The dark tentacles completely enveloped and devoured her.

“...Nihilego.” At this moment, Ash’s expression turned serious, and he decided to take down his opponent.

Perhaps the other party wanted to understand human beings or emotions, which is why they kidnapped Lusamine.

But for Lillie and Gladion, Lusamine is an important member of their family.

An indispensable...important family member!

"Since no one can save you... then let me save you."

Ash stretched out his hand, his aura surging forth.

Our full strength, our entire being, will become one!

"Go, Froghead! Let's become one!!!"

"Koga!!!"

Froakie responded to its trainer's expectations by roaring loudly, its entire body radiating powerful energy waves.

"Water Ripple!" "Koga!!"

"Koga!" The frog leaped up with its powerful jumping ability, releasing a Water Pulse. The Water Pulse surged forward, cutting through the air like lightning, and struck Nihilego's body.

"Hoo~~" had no effect whatsoever on the expanding, pitch-black Nihilego. Instead, it continued to rise with black tentacles, forming a protective layer, and there was simply no way to stop it.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" "Garuda, use Scale Shot!"

"Pikachu!" "Gabu!"

The three Pokémon attacked together, trying to eliminate the black tentacles as much as possible.

"Let's go, Froakie!" Ash inserted his Water Z into his Z-Ring and stretched out his fist.

"koga!"

"Hmm?" Suddenly, the Water Z Crystal in the bracelet emitted a dazzling blue light, and water flowed continuously along the Z Crystal, accompanied by a pleasant sound effect.

The water flow formed sharp, shuriken-like shapes on the Z-pure crystal, shimmering with a captivating light.

"What's this?!"

"koga?"

Ash and Froakie stared at the Z-Crystal with puzzled expressions.

[I don't know... The world of Pokémon is about the bond between humans and Pokémon... Perhaps the bond between Ash and Froakie forms the new Z-Crystal.]

Oh, I see. Shuriken...

Wait...you mean this Z isn't some kind of Golden Healing Shuriken?!

If I use this Nihilistic Id, will it fully restore my health?

The most crucial question is... is this... is this legal?!

Now, have I really become a magician?!

Xiao Zhi had a lot of things he wanted to complain about, but he held back and didn't.

Given the current situation, we have no choice but to proceed.

"Let's go, Froghead!"

"Koga!" Froakie arrived in front of Ash, and the two of them exchanged thoughts, deciding to deliver the final blow.

"Let me show you our true strength! Froghead! Full power!"

Ash crossed his arms, making a full-power gesture, and blue light poured into Froakie like a waterfall. Froakie moved in sync, its muscles tensing and its eyes flashing with determination.

"Koga!" Suddenly, a powerful stream of water erupted from the frog's body, swirling upwards like a giant dragon, enveloping its entire body in a vortex. The water roared past, carrying with it a whooshing sound and filling the surrounding air with mist.

"Let's unite our bonds!"

"koga!"

"We, who surpass everything, have reached the peak that no one knows!"

Ash confidently clenched his fists, and Froakie responded in kind.

“kogakoga!”

They could sense each other's thoughts, and Ash and Froakie reached a level they had never reached before.

Ash and Froakie were of one mind. Their eyes met, and they simultaneously raised their hands to gather energy into Froakie's palm. In an instant, countless tiny streams of water quickly converged into the largest Water Shuriken, which shone brightly in Froakie's palm.

The water shuriken gathered from their hands and began to expand.

At first it was blue, radiating a clear light, but as its power increased, its color began to change, transitioning from blue to orange-gold. The flying water shuriken continued to grow in their hands.

"Nihilego, catch this! This is everything between me and Froakie: Water Shuriken!!!"

"Koga—!"

Ash and Froakie moved with lightning speed, hurling a giant Water Shuriken at the swollen Nihilego. The Water Shuriken, carrying unparalleled power, streaked across the sky.

"Hyper-Shuriken—!" The moment the flying water shuriken collided with Nihilego Ido, a deafening roar erupted, and a terrifying energy explosion burst forth in the air, forming a dazzling light.

Flames spread through the air, sparks flew, and smoke filled the air.

The surrounding air seemed to be torn apart, and a violent energy fluctuation swept across the entire area.

Countless dust particles flew in the air, forming a hazy mist.

"Hollow..." The smoke gradually dissipated, and Nihilego collapsed weakly to the ground.

"Thank you, frog."

Seeing this, Ash felt relieved and looked at Froakie. At the same time, Froakie also turned its head, and their eyes met.

“Koga!” Frog nodded.

Ash lowered his head, and at that moment, his Z-Crystal turned back into a Water Z. Although he didn't know why this was happening, this change was very similar to the 10 million volts in the anime.

Let's call it 'Zootopia' for now... What are the conditions for becoming it?

With this question in mind, Ash walked steadily into the room. Facing Lusamine, who was about to be parasitized, he did not hesitate to separate Lusamine from Nihilego's body.

[Holy crap, Zhibao, your Golden Healing Shuriken didn't heal Nihilego! I couldn't even bear to watch!]

Maybe they cured too many patients and they died.

[But Zhibao, Rosamund is so beautiful, she's about 40, don't you want to consider taking her in? Her skin texture is comparable to Lillie's~ Although she's from Frey, her body is even better~]

Stop acting crazy here!

Ash crouched down and gently picked up Lusamine, his movements full of tenderness.

At this moment, the other person's eyes twitched slightly, indicating that they had not yet lost consciousness.

"Are you alright? I'll take you to Lillie's side soon."

191. Rosamund is smitten.

"Thank you." Lusamine felt the warmth emanating from Ash, and she looked up, gazing intently at his face.

He's such a wonderful person; Lillie is so lucky to have him.

This gave Lusamine an unprecedented sense of security and a special feeling, and a blush rose on her face.

Just like her daughter Lillie...

My heart was racing to the point where it was hard to calm down.

Exhaustion caused her to close her eyes and drift into a deep sleep.

Ash wasn't too concerned. The Aura was still active, and he knew that Lusamine was still alive.

In that case, the next step is to reunite with my companions.

At a glance, Ash could see that Souji and Shoko were far apart, while Lillie was happily watching Ash.

"Ash?~" Su Shi's mood fluctuated with the rhythm of the battle. Unable to suppress her joy, she ran over. When she noticed Lusamine, her mood dropped a little, but she still kept it up.

After all, a woman who is roughly the same age as her mother shouldn't be a competitor, so she felt relieved.

"That's great~ Next time, Ash, you absolutely can't do such dangerous things again..." Su Shi came to Ash's left side, her eyes sparkling with an indescribable emotion, love and dependence.

Her chest pressed against Xiaozhi's shoulder, and her inner worries gradually dissipated.

My boyfriend is great in every way, except he cares too much about other people.

If only I could keep watching her...

Su Shi's selfish desires stirred within her, but unfortunately, she shook her head and banished the thought from her mind.

The person she likes is such a handsome boy!

"Welcome back." In contrast to Su Shi's mood, Xiangzi was in much better spirits. She smiled slightly, the corners of her mouth turned up.

Having been with Satoshi for so long, Toyokawa Shoko only felt disappointed emotionally; in other aspects, she trusted Satoshi the most.

She trusted Xiaozhi and loved him to an incurable degree.

that is...

My boyfriend, could you please improve your emotional intelligence?

"Well, I'm back."

Xiao Zhi looked at them and unconsciously smiled.

Lillie shed tears and took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Thank you, Ash..."

Very good...

After her mother was rescued, Lillie didn't know what to say, only that she had an urge to cry.

These acts of help made Lillie begin to realize her feelings, and she felt an irrepressible flutter in her heart.

It's a romantic relationship...

"I'm sorry, Miss Xiangzi, I think I've developed those kinds of feelings for Xiaozhi."

Lillie muttered to herself, to the point that no one could hear her, and then looked at Xiangzi with a sense of apology.

If only I could be with Ash...

It's inevitable that even more outrageous thoughts will arise in one's mind.

As for Su Shi? I'm even less familiar with him!

After making some basic adjustments, Ash and his friends prepared to return, bringing this incident to a close.
