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

The Plasma Team members nervously flailed their bodies, trying to escape, but to no avail.

“gengengega!”

Ash had already Mega Evolved Gengar and used its strongest ability, Shadow Tag, to stomp on the shadows of the group, preventing them from escaping.

These guys here... Ash is going to beat them all up!

"Wait... I surrender! Pfft~~" "Ugh~~~"

Within seconds, several members of Team Plasma collapsed and fell into a coma.

They failed to realize that no matter how weak Ash was, he had a near-Champion-level Pikachu and a Gym Leader-level Mega Gengar by his side. Combined with his own strength, these grunts were not someone he could afford to mess with.

"Lajugo..."

Ash didn't pay too much attention to Team Plasma's actions, but instead focused his attention on the paralyzed and nearly unconscious Ragnarok. He took a step forward, wanting to gently pick her up and take her away from this dangerous place.

"Awooo—!"

At this moment, Zeraora stood up, and the fleshy balls in its powerful hands released intense blue electricity, like two roaring dragons, rushing straight towards Ash. The electricity rolled and roared in the air.

678 Becoming friends with Zeraora, Ran Mitake's feelings

Plasma Lightning Fist: Attacks with a fist covered in electric current. Changes Normal-type moves to Electric-type.

Humans! Humans again!

Zeraora cannot forgive humanity, whether it's the fires of the past or the spore smoke of this time, these are all caused by humans.

“Genga…” “Pikachu, Pikachu~”

Gengar couldn't resist trying to help Ash, but Pikachu stopped it with its little paws.

Pikachu: No big deal, I don't need to use a lightning rod at all.

“Zeraora, you hate humans and can’t trust them, right?”

The electricity leaped across Ash's body the moment it touched him, but it couldn't cause him the slightest harm. Ash didn't dodge; his eyes were filled with understanding and tenderness. He faced Zeraora's attack head-on.

Holy crap, are you even human?!

That's insane!

"Aww?!"

Undeterred, Zeraora intensified the electrical surge, concentrating its power once more. The blue currents emanating from the fleshy orbs in its hands surged even more fiercely, like raging lightning, sweeping away everything in their path. The currents churned in the air, forming streaks of lightning that illuminated the surrounding space.

However, Ash's expression remained unchanged in the face of the surging electricity.

It feels... not as good as... Pikachu...

"It's too lonely like this. Sometimes it's true that humans and Pokémon can't understand each other, but I won't use underhanded methods like Team Plasma. Instead, I'll win your heart fair and square!"

Ash turned his baseball cap upside down, his eyes still deep and unfathomable, unaffected by the intense electric current.

"Let's be friends! I love your gentle and kind heart, so please like me too!"

Ash's composure revealed a hint of confusion and doubt in Zeraora's eyes.

Why is Ash able to face his strongest attack with such composure? Why is his smile so warm and firm?

It is afraid and uneasy.

"It's Zeraora! Come and catch it!"

"What a rare Pokémon! It's mine!"

"Zeraora has a strong sense of justice! Why don't we capture other Pokémon and force it out?!"

Fifty years ago, the fire caused by humans left an indelible shadow on Zeraora's heart.

This shadow was never something that Xiao Zhi could cure with just a few words.

"Awooo—!"

A powerful force exploded within Zeraora's body, its eyes flashing with a ferocious, beast-like light as it charged wildly toward Ash.

"What a stubborn fellow."

Ash's eyes burned even brighter, fueled by his fighting spirit, and he let out a triumphant shout.

"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"

"Pica-!"

At the same time, Pikachu was not to be outdone, and the silver light on its tail also rushed towards Zeraora, and the two engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom boom boom—!

Pikachu's Iron Tail clashed repeatedly with Zeraora's close-combat fist, creating sparks.

Zeraora's rage greatly enhanced its power, making its attacks more ferocious and unpredictable.

At the same time, Ash needs to ensure Zeraora is healthy for the battle.

"Pikachu, one hundred thousand volts!!"

"Pikachu~~~!"

A current of 100,000 volts was released from Pikachu's entire body, hitting Zeraora and causing it to pause in mid-air for a moment, enduring the enormous voltage.

"Awooo!" "Pikachu~~~"

Despite the power of the 100,000 volts, Zeraora punched Pikachu, sending it flying a short distance away. Pikachu landed heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"You actually understand, don't you? Humans aren't all bad! Trust us!"

The little intelligence understands the Pokémon's pain and sadness, so it wants to do everything it can to help it.

Becoming a Pokémon Master means becoming friends with all the Pokémon!

Xiao Zhi will not give up easily.

"Awooo—!" Zeraora's fighting spirit reached a frenzied state. Powerful electricity erupted from Zeraora's hands and feet once again, but this electricity went out of control and was released towards the wild Pokémon around it.

"Huh?!" "Mipa?!" "Gaoh?!"

"Danger!!"

This scene prompted Ash to rush in front of the other wild Pokémon without hesitation, spreading his arms to block them.

"Well..."

Even Ash couldn't help but feel the pain from this blow, and he involuntarily bent over and sat down on the ground, his hat even falling off his head.

"Hoo~~" "Mipa~~" "Gaoh~"

The surrounding Pokémon couldn't help but approach Ash with concern, looking at him with caring eyes.

"Is everyone alright?...That's great."

Ash breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that neither the Pokémon nor the Larugo were harmed.

"Ow..."

Zeraora hadn't expected its electric current to get out of control; its body had reached its limit, so it ultimately couldn't control itself.

Compared to such things, Zeraora cares more about Ash.

It could tell that there was no lie in Xiaozhi's words; those sincere eyes and firm posture left it speechless.

This is the first time we've encountered such a human.

Even though his Pokémon trusted Ash completely and cared about him deeply, he still chose to have their trainer deal with the situation personally.

Even Zeraora could understand that Ash had no desire for it whatsoever.

There was none of that: greed, the desire to catch, or an obsession with rare Pokémon.

Zeraora walked up to Ash and extended her hand to him.

Ash picked up the hat, put it on and straightened it, then took Zeraora's hand.

"Okay, then we're friends."

At most...

The desire to become friends.

"Larugo, I'm leaving you to me. I'll take care of the rest of the plasma team. Don't worry, we can handle this disaster. We'll definitely be fine."

Xiao Zhi revealed a slight smile.

Just as this human said, I've fallen for him.

Zeraora stared intently at Ash, then nodded, placing all its trust in him.

"..."

Just then, Ran, who was not far away, came over because she was worried about Satoshi, and she saw the whole thing.

Even under the smoke, Xiao Zhi's handsome and resolute face shone with a dazzling light.

It's sparkling and dazzling!

"Ash, you're so cool!"

...What is this feeling? My heart is pounding.

Suddenly, Ran Miku felt something was wrong. She placed her hand on her heart. She felt her heart beating rapidly, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

boom! boom! boom!

This feeling was quite unfamiliar to her, and Mei Zhulan was not yet used to it.

The surrounding sounds gradually became blurred, and it seemed that only the sound of one's own heartbeat could be heard.

A long time has passed, and Miyuki Ran still doesn't know how to respond.

Perhaps I've fallen in love with her.

679 captured the Olympic flame and rescued the damsel in distress!

Of course, compared to this, Mizuki Ran did not let her guard down. She wore a mask and barely managed to stay conscious in the spore smoke.

"Muke!"

Her Starhawk was observing the enemy from above and had already located the remaining Plasma Team.

While Ash was giving Larugo emergency treatment, Miyu rushed to Team Plasma without hesitation. It was a bit far away, but Miyu didn't hesitate.

She has a competitive personality, and ignoring the embarrassment she would cause in such a place would only make her angrier.

Visibility was not a problem in the smoke; one could even see the light emitted by the sacred flame.

The problem is the damage it causes to the body...

"Centipede King, use your poison needles on the Mk Eagle in the sky!"

At this moment, Smura, one of the Seven Sages, spotted the M'k Eagle circling overhead and immediately tried to shoot it down.

"Dula!" The Centipede King stood still, and suddenly released poisonous needles from its powerful horns, which rained down on the Mk Eagle in the air.

"Muk~~" The Muk Eagle's wing was struck by a poisoned needle, and it instantly felt a sharp pain.

It was discovered!

Ash is still treating Larugo. In order not to lose to Ash and Minato, I have to work harder!

"Mukhari, adjust your posture and use Aerial Return!"

Ran Mitake raised her head, clenched her hands, and focused all her attention on the battle.

"Muk!" The attacked Muk Eagle swayed precariously in the air. It struggled to regulate its breathing and steady itself. Then, the air currents around it suddenly intensified, and it slammed into the Centipede King.

"How foolish, Smura! Someone actually dares to fight us! Toad King, Water Cannon!"

Knowing that Ash from Pallet Town was in Wind City, Smurf contacted his companion, Joggs, one of the Seven Sages, last night for help.

The Seven Sages are executives of Team Plasma, seven knowledgeable individuals (including himself) gathered by Qychs from around the world for the sake of the king.

After Yoggs arrived, Smura's mindset gradually stabilized, and they had already completed their investigation of Satoshi.

"Gamma!"

Just then, the Toad King next to him immediately launched a water cannon attack.

It spewed a high-pressure stream of water from its large mouth, heading straight for the Munk Eagle.
