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

"The Haruka Gym is a Rock-type Pokémon gym. In order to let challengers experience the wonderful world of rocks, I let them climb up to the battle arena on their own."

Chuck's voice echoed through the dojo.

"I understand! Blaziken, let's climb together!"

Ash resolutely threw the Poké Ball, and Blaziken appeared on the grass.

"Basha~~" Blaziken emerged from the ground, standing majestically beside Ash. Sunlight shone on its strong body, gleaming with an almost blinding light.

This is Blaziken's first gym challenge, and it doesn't want to lose!

We must give it our all!

Ash gave me this opportunity! We absolutely cannot lose!

Blaziken's gaze began to burn.

Ash and Blaziken's Mega Evolution potential hasn't been fully realized yet, so he gave this opportunity to Blaziken.

"Let's have a contest, Mr. Chuck!"

"Bashar!"

The climbing rock led Ash and Blaziken to the top floor of the Sausage Gym.

Ash and Blaziken followed the climbing rock and quickly climbed up to reach the high-level location where Chakro was.

With Super Rookie and Blaziken, which is close to Champion level, this level is not a problem at all.

"I won't lose!"

The two, along with a Pokémon, quickly headed towards the top floor. Ash relied on his physical prowess, while Chaklo relied on his experience, resulting in a stalemate between them.

Violet looked at the two of them helplessly, then turned her head and focused her gaze on Takamatsu.

"Ah...the fighting spirit of the two men has been aroused. Miss, let's take the elevator to the battlefield."

Times have changed! Who still does rock climbing these days?

No wonder no one challenges your dojo!

"Well, I see."

The light, representing the weaklings, nodded without any sign of refusal.

Otherwise, with such a high floor, even the lamp would probably have to struggle to climb up.

But... Lantern was certain that for Ash's sake, she could climb up something only a few dozen meters high.

I was working way too hard!

"You must be from Rainbow Feather, here on a school trip. I'm Violet, the gym leader of the White Sandalwood Gym. May I ask your name?"

As soon as she entered the elevator, Violet couldn't help but ask the girl next to her a question.

Ash's battle with Karyl was an interrupted battle; the two had previously had a closely contested match.

Violet would definitely not let such a powerful person go.

Kalos's predicament cannot be ignored. Although Violet finds this method despicable, she does intend to invite Ash and Lantern to participate in this plan.

"My name is... Lamp, nice to meet you."

Gao Songdeng introduced himself with a slightly shy expression.

She is rather introverted, so she stammered when introducing herself.

Violet didn't seem to care too much.

"Oh, it's Xiaodeng. How does Xiaodeng compare to my boyfriend?"

"Ugh... I can't win. I can barely beat Ash's three Pokémon."

When the word 'boyfriend' was mentioned, Deng's cheeks flushed, she lowered her head, and subconsciously answered the other person's question.

Rillaboom, Garchomp, and Winged Beast—these three Pokémon would be difficult for Takashimura to defeat against the Pokémon mentioned above.

Champion-level Greninja, Elite Four-level Pikachu, and Mega Blaziken, whose strength is currently unknown.

Plus, my boyfriend is covered in garlands!

Lantern simply lacked the confidence to beat Ash; its growth rate was too fast.

She still remembers how she used 'Spring Shadow' to brutally beat Ash's Raichu!

With some effort, 'Spring Shadow' should be able to beat Mega Blaziken, after all, it has Shadow Steal and the Z-Move Seven Stars Stealth Kick.

But... does winning over your husband 3 only mean you can steal him away from Su Shi?

No!

The lamp is becoming increasingly unreliable!

I must beat Ash! I'll snatch Ash away from Souze-chan!

The unyielding lamp stared intently ahead, its intense desire overflowing.

Violet grew increasingly fond of the lamp.

He managed to beat three... Should we invite this kid?

A hint of hesitation flickered in her violet-green pupils, and the atmosphere remained stiff until the elevator arrived.

"The Gym Battle of Haruka City between Gym Leader Chakro and Challenger Ash from Rainbow City will now begin. The Gym Leader will use two Pokémon, while the Challenger will use all of them. The battle ends when all of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle."

"Also, only the challenger can switch Pokémon during battles. That's all!"

As the referee finished speaking, Chaklo took a Poké Ball out of his pocket and threw it.

"Come out, Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

448 has a cheat code!

As the gym leader, Chaklo was quite perceptive; he could tell that the opponent's Blaziken contained powerful energy.

This is something that ordinary challengers rarely possess, and we cannot underestimate Ash just because he is a teenager!

"Roar!!" The Tyrannosaurus roared, its eyes fixed on the Blaziken in front of it.

"Blazing Chicken, I choose you!"

Ash's boiling point had reached its peak, and he swung his hand forward.

"Bashar!" Blaziken leaped into the wide arena, and instantly, flames erupted from its paws, filling the area with intense heat.

The two seemed to be drawn to each other, recognizing each other's strength immediately.

This level of opponent is most suitable for rehabilitation exercises.

"Monsterjaw Dragon, use Rock Lock!"

Chaklo showed no sign of underestimating him; he waved his hands and gave the order.

"Roar!!"

Dozens of enormous rocks, like islands floating in the air, drifted around the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Its massive body appeared even more imposing against the backdrop of the rocks, and then dozens of rocks rushed towards the Blaziken.

Rock-type moves are not effective against Blaziken, which is a Fire/Fighting type, but Blaziken, being fragile, will still suffer considerable damage if it takes this move.

Unfortunately... Ash and Blaziken didn't take this move seriously at all; they closed their eyes.

Sensing each other's presence, Ash and Blaziken realized that since yesterday, they had been too hasty and hadn't fully grasped each other's strength.

Currently, they need to focus all their efforts on understanding their own strength.

The ultimate power known as Mega Evolution!

"Huh?"×2

Violet and Chaklo were clearly puzzled by this scene.

Why close your eyes?!

The answer is to feel the connection between each other... Waveguide!

"Sorry, Mr. Chaklo, you made us abandon all sportsmanship! You made us go all out from the very beginning! Blaziken, let them see our bond!"

Ash throws a punch forward, followed by a series of kicks.

Like Korne, intimidate the other party first!

Ash's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Blaziken. He pressed down on the Key Stone in his left hand, and the Key Stone emitted a white light.

"Bashar—!"

As the white light was released, the Blaziken's form changed.

Its left hand emitted light, and then its entire body was surrounded by light of various colors.

Its horns changed from two to one. The shape of its feathers also changed; the original yellow patterns turned black and took on a flame-like appearance, and it had four long, fiery ribbons on its arms.

It instantly evolved into Mega Blaziken!

"Bashar!" Immediately afterwards, Blaziken burst out with intense heat, its wrists spewing out scorching flames that enveloped the entire battlefield.

"What is this?!" ×2

Ash wasn't the only one whose attention was drawn to Mega Evolution; everyone and every Pokémon present was captivated.

"Close combat!"

Ash reached out his hand as the rock seal attacked him.

"Bashar!!!"

Blaziken's punches and kicks, like blazing flames, relentlessly assaulted the rocks.

Each blow shattered the rock, turning it into dust that scattered in the wind. The rock crumbled under the barrage of punches and kicks, turning into countless fragments that flew everywhere.

"Don't let it get away! Charge over and engage the Tyrannosaurus Rex in close combat!"

"Bashar!!"

Blaziken pressed its advantage, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks at Tyranitar.

"Roar?!" The Tyrannosaurus Rex tried to defend itself with its powerful jaws and claws, but the Blaziken's fire power was too strong, and the broken rocks could not stop its advance.

Holy crap, someone's cheating!

My Tyrannosaurus Rex's rock seal was broken so easily?!

At this moment, even Chaklo couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; things seemed to be developing beyond his expectations.

This level of opponent... is it a dojo-level opponent? NO! It's the Elite Four!

"Monsterjaw Dragon, use Rock Seal to defend! Then use Dragon Claw to attack at any time!"

"Roar!!!" The two short but powerful arms of the Monster Jaw Dragon gathered dense green energy and then unleashed a fierce dragon claw attack.

Driven by this attack, countless rocks obeyed the call and soared into the air, flying towards the attacking Blaziken.

Blaziken, with power far exceeding that of a normal Pokémon, effortlessly shattered the rocks.

Several huge rocks hurtled towards Blaziken. But Blaziken was agile and instantly weaved between the rocks, appearing behind Tyranitar.

"Behind! Use Dragon Claw on the Blaziken behind you!"

Chaklo reacted immediately, but the Monster Jaw Dragon turned around without hesitation and launched another claw attack.

"Roar!!!" "Bashar!"

However, Blaziken's figure vanished like a ghost the moment it turned around, reappearing in front of Tyranitar, causing Tyranitar's attack to miss.

"What?! The speed... it can actually be this fast?"

Chucklow broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but feel fear.

"Unfortunately, your move just now was indeed quite good, but you're still a bit too green!"

Ash and Blaziken went all out, not only Mega Evolving but also gaining Aura, so that every move of Tyrantrum was within Ash and Blaziken's sensing range.

Ash wanted to test the full power of their teamwork with Blaziken, which is why he battled Chakro.

"So strong... That Blaziken, at its maximum speed, might not even be able to catch up with a Champion Gardevoir."

Violet immediately saw that Blaziken still had room for improvement.
