"Pikachu!!" Suddenly, Pikachu's emotions surged, and it jumped up in annoyance. Flames shot out from its mouth, accompanied by a loud roar.

Pikachu was enveloped in a layer of golden electricity and suddenly released it forward.

"I expected this!" Ash smiled slightly, already prepared for it. His body reacted instinctively, easily dodging to the side and avoiding being hit by Pikachu's flames and electricity.

"Yamo?!"

However, Pikachu's energy attack didn't miss. Right behind Ash, Sirfetch'd was waving his leek, and Pikachu's electric current struck Sirfetch'd directly, instantly filling his entire body with a powerful electric current.

"Ya ya ya ya ya mo!! (I'll surpass you all!)" The Onion Soldier was struck by this sudden force. Its body trembled violently a few times, then it lost its balance and collapsed to the ground.

It's probably similar, but to make it even more ridiculous, it might not be able to eat green onions like the original Pokédex entry describes!

"Farewell, Onion Soldier."

"Pikachu, Pikachu!" Ash and Pikachu both shed tears, accepting Sirfetch'd's sacrifice.

"Ah...hehehe~ Ash, Pikachu, thank you!"

She revealed a warm, sweet smile.

"In short, Mashiro, you just need to speak your mind in front of us. We are already comrades, and I can accept that."

Even so, Ash quickly reached out and touched the fallen Sirfetch'd.

"Yamo~~" Rainbow-colored light surged from his palm, instantly healing Cong Youbing's injuries.

"Yes! I will!"

1262 On our way to Kikyo City!

The atmosphere around them became relaxed due to the healing effect, and Mashiro couldn't help but laugh happily when she saw this.

"Yes, just like me, I can hug Ash whenever I want!"

Just then, Kasumi ran over and Dynamaxed onto Ash.

"You're so shameless," Xiao Zhi said helplessly.

"Me too!" Mashiro's anxiety turned into action. She rushed forward and hugged Satoshi tightly.

Ash was caught off guard by the sudden embrace. He was tightly held on both sides by Kasumi and Mashiro, leaving him no room to resist.

Well, this will do.

He didn't really have any thoughts on it, but Xiao Zhi was really starting to act strangely.

It's really incongruous that someone would comfort someone like that.

Along the way, Xiaozhi has witnessed too much sadness, so he has unconsciously learned to say these comforting words.

"Alright, since it's already sunset, it's about time to go play in the river."

Ash casually took off his clothes, which shocked Mashiro.

"Huh?" Mashiro's eyes widened as she stared intently at Ash taking off his shirt.

...I really want to touch it.

"Ugh..." Looking at Ash's body, Mashiro couldn't help but cover her nose, and blood started flowing from it.

"Zhibao, take off, take off... what do you want to do by taking off your clothes?"

"Of course, we'll play by the river for a while. Since we can't take a bath in the wild, we can only soak in the river and enjoy the peace and quiet."

Anyway, in Xiaozhi's eyes there was no difference between underwear and swimwear, so he took off his shirt and went into the tent to change into his swim trunks.

Is that even possible?! Ash is right inside the tent, can I use Registeel on him?!

This...this...this blockhead has absolutely no idea how charming he is!

"Haaaaaah~ Haaaaah~ I can't take it anymore!" Mashiro frantically tried to wipe away the blood from her nose.

The super rookie's physique seems a bit too good.

With well-defined muscles and smooth, delicate skin, he exudes an irresistible charm.

Help! Help! Can I really make it to the Ruins of Alup alive?!

"Hehehe~~" Seeing Mashiro's appearance, Kasumi went around behind her and pushed her hard into the tent that was not zipped up.

"Whoa?!" Mashiro was pushed into the tent by a considerable force. Her body lurched forward due to inertia, and then, in a flash, she saw Ash standing naked in front of her.

"Um?!"

"Ughhhh!" Mashiro's face instantly turned flushed, like a signal flare being lit. The redness quickly spread from her cheeks to her neck and even the tips of her ears.

Huh?! Huh?! Huh!!!

Her eyes widened, and her gaze involuntarily swept over Xiaozhi's entire body.

At that moment, her heart was pounding at its fastest.

Mashiro felt an unprecedented shyness. Under the impact of this strong emotion, Mashiro suddenly felt dizzy, and blood gushed out of her nose uncontrollably, forming a red parabola.

Thank you for your hospitality. I am now content to leave this world.

"Waaaaah... So many Ash~~" In that instant, Mashiro's world became blurry. She felt like she was hallucinating. Her eyes and mind were filled with Ash's image. Her consciousness began to dissipate, and she eventually lost consciousness in a dizzy spell.

Her body slumped to the ground, remaining in an awkward position.

"So white?! So white!" This unexpected scene caught Ash off guard, leaving him unsure how to react to the sudden situation.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Ash called out to her, she didn't respond.

"Kasumi, this is for you." With no other choice, Ash came out wearing his swim trunks and handed the Crystal Bead to Kasumi.

"What is this?" Kasumi took the Crystal Bead in a daze, clearly not understanding what it meant.

This is a special crystal bead made by Frico, which can change attributes through crystallization. Although it can only be used once, crystallization is a very good system that can help Kasumi protect herself.

"Tai Jingzhu, there might be trouble tomorrow, so you need to protect yourself first."

"I understand! I will definitely not hold Ash back!"

Upon hearing this, Kasumi's eyes immediately lit up.

At the same time, Ash vaguely understood that this trip was not as simple as it seemed.

At the very least, he needs to protect the people and Pokémon around him.

In this case...

"Alright! As expected, let's train with Pokémon! Sirfetch'd, unleash your combo on me!"

Ash loudly gave commands to Sirfetch.

"Yam yam yam!" Suddenly, the Shallot got excited, remembering the grudge from the 100,000 Volts earlier.

If I can't beat Pikachu, then I can only beat Ash!

"Yamo! Yamo~~~"

"Not fast enough!"

Immediately, Farfetch'd was swatted into a tree by Ash with a chop to the neck, completely abandoning his delusion of beating Ash.

Onion Soldier: Is it legal for you to be a super newbie?! Although... I'm used to it!

In a sense, Ash is able to perform this scene ↓.

Oh! Ash has lost all his Pokémon!

Not even a moment of sadness at losing a battle, the super rookie Ash immediately came to the battlefield!

One punch blasted all six of the opponent's Pokémon to pieces!

Fighting-type Ash Ketchum makes his appearance! He can even take on Ghost-type Pokémon!

As for whether it's legal or not?! Let's beat up the referee and convince him first!

"Ash is so dazzling! I will definitely cherish this gift!"

Kasumi excitedly held the Crystal Bead in her hands. It was the first gift she had received from Ash, and it held immense significance for her. She was determined to cherish it. Kasumi was filled with a desire to help Ash, and although she hadn't outwardly made any significant contributions, she had actually been quietly improving her own strength.

Day after day, she practiced with Ash, and her skills improved significantly without her even realizing it.

Kasumi felt uneasy because she had thought she should be the one in the center, but she found that she hadn't been able to provide enough help to Ash on his journey.

Ash's strength was unmatched by those around him, which made Kasumi even more dissatisfied.

What she didn't know was that Ash's strength didn't come overnight, but was the result of growing together with his companions along the way.

Kasumi is also an important part of this.

Without the companionship and competition of his friends, including Kasumi, Ash could not have achieved his current extraordinary strength.

Simply put, Ash's incredible strength comes from the mutual encouragement and growth he experiences with his companions, and Kasumi is an indispensable part of this journey.

1263 Crystallized Kikyo City, meeting with Hatsuka!

Xiao Zhi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

"Alright, let's get stronger together and head to Kikyo City!"

Mashiro was unconscious on the first day and spent the second day unconscious.

As time went by, Ash and his friends got closer and closer to Violet City.

Kikyo City: A city in the central part of the Johto region, where there is a Bell Sprout Tower where monks practice.

The city is enormous, yet it has a disproportionately small number of guesthouses, with most of the area still covered by forests. Heading south, you can reach the ruins of Alupho.

At this moment, Kikyo City fell into an unusual silence, a silence that concealed unsettling changes.

Crystallization began to cover the city, like a silent plague, crystallizing everything. From the walls of buildings and the vehicles on the streets to the trees in the parks, everything was gradually covered by layers of crystals.

This phenomenon affects not only inorganic matter, but also humans and Pokémon.

Their bodies began to harden, turning into translucent crystals. Their movements ceased, their expressions froze, as if time had been frozen forever.

The Johto Alliance took this unusual situation very seriously and quickly dispatched the Four Heavenly Kings to investigate and handle it.

However, apart from Wataru, the other three Uranus all encountered the invasion of crystals after arriving in Kikyo City.

They seemed powerless against this mysterious force; they didn't even have a chance to leak any information before being swallowed up by the crystals.

The scenery in Kikyo City became both beautiful and terrifying.

The crystals shimmered with a captivating light in the sunlight, but they represented the loss of life and vitality.

If left unchecked, it may spread to the nearest city, Enju.

"Having finally gotten out of there, I have to go crazy like this... Soon, the Johto region will be destroyed."

On the highest floor of Kikyo City, Wakaba Mutsu simply watched this change with a smile, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

In her eyes, she could clearly see that Guanglang, the pioneering mind who could rival the Four Heavenly Kings in the Battle Zone Battle Tower, was there, and next to Guanglang, Chuhua was searching for Xiangzi.

The two arrived in Kikyo City at almost the same time and worked together to try to stop the spread of this crystal.

"The time before last it was the champion, the last time it was the Four Heavenly Kings, is this time it a battle against the pioneering minds of the Frontier Zone? And... Chu Hua."

Mu carefully observed the scene ahead, a detached expression in his eyes.

"I am the emperor of the Crystal Tower, wielding the most powerful key. It doesn't matter who the enemy is."

...

This is my last Pokémon. If I can't defeat it, then I'm completely finished.

"Electromagnetic Beast, Ultimate Volt Thunder Flash!"

"Ereshkigal!!"

In Violet City, Chu Hua anxiously watched the weakened Suicune before her, and hurriedly threw a Poké Ball into her hand.

Then strike the Z-Move's signature pose to unleash its strongest move.

"Ereshkigal—!"

With a crisp sound, the Electric Monster shot out of the sky, its entire body bursting with intense electricity.

Electivire concentrated its power in front of it and, without hesitation, threw a punch, unleashing the electric current of Ultimate Volt Fury with a deafening roar.
