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

Ash wasn't disappointed at all; he was already very happy just to be able to meet Pokémon.

Moreover, he doesn't really like the method of forcibly subduing people; Padum Monkey is probably afraid of humans.

He chose to respect Padong Monkey's choice.

"I don't think that's quite right... Padum Monkey will probably still choose to go with you."

Toyokawa Shoko's lips curled slightly upward, her eyes fixed ahead, standing still, elegant and composed.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Ash's eyes showed a slight hint of doubt, but as he followed the girl's gaze, he immediately spotted the Pokémon in the distance.

"Thump, monkey...when did it get ahead of us...?"

"pachi, pachi!"

At that moment, Pawmonkey waved its arms happily and rushed over, charging right up to Ash.

With a light leap, it took out a shimmering Poké Ball from Ash's pocket.

“pachi~”

Puffy enlarged the Poké Ball and pushed it in front of Ash.

"It seems to have taken a liking to you, Ash."

For some reason, Toyokawa Shoko felt even happier than when she had captured the Padun Monkey.

"Is that so? Padauk, would you like to come with us?" Ash knelt down on one knee, meeting Padauk's gaze.

"Pachi!" With that, Pachi jumped up slightly and pressed the button on the Poké Ball. A red light captured Pachi in the Poké Ball, and with a shake, it became Ash's Pokémon.

Ash looked at this operation in surprise, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Please take care of me from now on, Padong Monkey."

As these words were spoken, the Poké Ball nodded slightly.

Ash was in a good mood and lifted the Poké Ball up, shouting loudly.

"I've tamed the Padum Monkey!"

[Ash...hehehe, my Ash caught a Pokémon~~]

"It really hasn't changed at all."

Shoko Toyokawa reminisces about the past, those sweet and precious memories.

When she was a child, the time she spent on an island with her childhood friends, and Ash's small figure holding a Poké Ball high.

Ash: "I caught Pichu!"

At this moment, a certain thought couldn't help but arise in Xiangzi's mind.

By the way, if I invite him to my team, will we be able to go back to our old relationship?

But my current strength is still too weak. If I want to improve my strength, it means I have to bring back my old Pokémon from my family, or rather, I have to get 'Kasuga' back from Lantern.

Toyokawa Shoko felt a headache coming on and didn't think much about it.

But she...

Suddenly, I just wanted to be with this boy.

...

"That damned old man..."

"Whoo~"

Back home, Toyokawa Shoko and Minas were cleaning up the broken bottles. Apparently, her bastard father had been furious last night, since she hadn't come home all night and hadn't cleaned the house.

Toyokawa Shoko genuinely wanted to become independent as soon as possible and never experience this kind of life again.

Over the past year, she has left her life as a pampered young lady and come to this run-down apartment.

After experiencing all sorts of things, even nights without water or electricity, they got through the days by drinking Minas's water cannon and his bastard father's liquor.

That kind of life was so outrageous, I really don't want to remember it.

Currently, she only has two paths: one is to become a powerful trainer, at least an elite level.

The second option is to work at the Eco-Dome and become a police officer or similar figure through Officer Jenny.

However, both require strength.

Therefore, Toyokawa Shoko's current choice is...

"I miss it so much..."

Shoko Toyokawa took a black mask out of her bag. It was a gift from Ash, the prize money he won in his first Pokémon battle.

Ash: If you're shy about battling, wear this mask. It might reduce your nervousness.

Frankly speaking, when Shoko Toyokawa put on this mask, she felt extremely ashamed, but she also felt a strange sense of comfort, as if she had become another person.

She was shy when she battled another childhood friend, Mitsumi Hatsuka, so Ash gave her this gift to help her overcome that awkward feeling, and now Shoko needs this.

As a trainer, she felt extremely unwilling to lose to Ash.

Another reason is personal motives...

Shoko Toyokawa gently put on the mask and looked at the face in the mirror, which seemed to be another version of herself, and a certain thought came to her mind.

"I want to become Ash's rival and participate in the high school league!"

"Whoosh—!" Just then, Milotic shouted excitedly from the side.

“As for the codename… let’s call him Oblivionis.” A resolute and determined light shone in Toyokawa Shoko’s eyes. She took a deep breath and made up her mind.

Wait for me, Xiao Zhi.

...

"Oh no, I'm late for class... Oh well, I'll just skip school since I'll lose points anyway."

Ash wandered aimlessly through the streets, looking around, hoping to find something new and interesting.

For him, the price of not having to go to school today was only the deduction of 50 points, and he already had 4500 points in his points account, so he was quite calm about losing 50 points.

Compared to studying, adventure is definitely more interesting!

[Pokémon~ With our current strength, we really need to find stronger opponents~ After all, we've already defeated Team Rocket~ Hehehe~ My Pokémon is so cool~]

Stop acting crazy here!

"How could I possibly run into a strong person so easily?... This world isn't that small... Hmm, I think I see one."

Ash felt a headache coming on and subconsciously retorted, but when he looked at the grass not far away, he did notice something different.

"Electabuzz, Thunder Punch, charge!"

"Mr. White Bear, Ice Fist counterattack."

A blonde girl with a tuft of hair resembling a pick is commanding her Electric-type Pokémon, Electabuzz.

Meanwhile, a black-haired girl remained calm, guiding the tundra bear in its counterattack.

They are clearly students, but they are not in class and are fighting outdoors. This clearly indicates that they have some special privileges.

"Those two girls are amazing!"

"Yeah, they're old enough to challenge gyms, I heard they're still students."

This scene attracted the attention of many viewers, making it difficult for Xiao Zhi to squeeze into the crowd to watch.

After squeezing into the crowd, Xiao Zhi's slightly surprised expression quickly turned into a knowing smile.

[Zhibao, what's wrong?]

As he watched the intense duel between the two, Ash's heart began to race with excitement.

"I sensed the presence of a formidable rival."

32. Goal: Maga Evolution!

In preparation for the future Afro Buffalo Cup, Ash did a lot of research and learned about the powerful and popular teams, gaining a general understanding of the students of Rainbow Feather.

For example, the blonde girl with the magnetic levitation ahoge on her head is named Ichiji Nijika. She is quite famous among the second-year high school students. Recently, she seems to have formed a band called the End Band and is preparing for the future high school league.

For some reason, the little AI felt a maternal instinct.

Ichi Nijika might be the woman who can become his mother.

Another one, named Kagura Hikari, is a 'returnee' who came back from the Galar region.

Because the Galar region highly values ​​Pokémon battles, Hikari Kagura is exceptionally strong. According to rumors Ash has heard, she seems to have the potential to become one of the Elite Four.

Just how powerful are the Four Heavenly Kings?

Right now, I need to collect 6 of them.

It still needs a final evolution, and a Mega Evolution is also necessary.

Xiao Zhi's gaze darkened slightly.

I heard that the League allows the use of Dynamax, Crystallize, and Z-Moves to challenge tournaments or the League, but it does not allow Mega Evolution to challenge the League.

Because Mega Evolution is still unknown in this world!

Maga even won the revival match after evolving, yet he remains unknown in this world.

I miss you, my dear.

In order to be able to battle against strong opponents in the future, Ash must promote Mega Evolution.

It's only fun when you clash with someone who has all the best skills and goes all out!

[Just so you know, Zhibao, I don't create Mega Stones.]

"Don't worry, I never had any expectations of you in the first place."

【Waaaaah...╥﹏╥】

After casually dealing with Friko, Ash turned his attention to the battle between Kagura Hikari and Ichiro Nijigasaki.

Ice-type Tundra Bear vs. Electric-type Electabuzz.

There isn't much difference in their base stats. Tundra is already the final evolution, and its pure Ice type is particularly weak, while Electabuzz's stat distribution isn't great, but it still has one more evolution to go.

Currently, the two are roughly equal in ability.

In terms of strength, he's not as good as my Lei Chao!

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but have this thought.

"Mr. White Bear, use the Freeze Fist again to charge forward."

Hikaru Kagura calmly commanded the Tundra Bear, and the freezing power of the Ice Fist quickly condensed in her right hand as she charged towards Electabuzz.

"Electabuzz, block it, then use Thunderbolt! Let them see the results of our special training!" Rainbow Summer remained calm and collected.

"Elephant!" Electabuzz used both hands to shield itself from the Ice Punch attack, and Ursaring's Ice Punch gradually covered Electabuzz's body with a thin layer of frost.

But Electabuzz wasn't completely frozen; instead, it unleashed its attack—Thunderbolt!

Golden lightning struck the frozen bear as it unleashed its Frost Fist, instantly engulfing its entire body.

"Roar..."

The heat from the lightning gradually melted the frost, and the tundra bear, unable to escape due to the electric current, was unable to do so.

Upon seeing this scene, Kagura Hikaru's expression remained unchanged, her extremely indifferent gaze as cold as that of a tundra bear.

“But my polar bear still has his left hand to use, Brick Breaker.” Kagura Hikaru immediately gave the order.

"Roar!" The tundra bear suddenly raised its left hand and swung its hand blade, striking its opponent with a force as powerful as splitting a tile.

"E...Elephant..." Electabuzz let out a miserable cry, severely injured by the Brick Break attack, and its body involuntarily staggered backward.

Even the momentum of Thunderbolt stopped, and under the Brick Break of the Tundra Bear with its Attack stat of 130, Electabuzz was almost brought to its knees.

Huh? Is it legal for you to use two skills at once?

"Will this really work?"

Ash blinked, wanting to give it a try.
