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

"Here, take this. It's Venusaur's Mega Stone. Lan has Venusaur, right? I think this is the most suitable for you."

Ash steadily handed over a Mega Stone that shone brightly.

Anyway, his own Frey might be able to combine his energy to create a Mega Stone, so this kind of thing doesn't matter.

Unless the girls bring it up themselves, Ash doesn't really care too much about these things.

He's too wooden.

"Thank you, I will cherish it."

Lan took the Venusaur's Mega Stone, looked at it carefully, and felt a surge of love in her heart.

The key is sentiment. She wasn't too tempted by the Venusaur Mega Stone; she was simply happy that the Mega Stone still carried Ash's warmth.

I'm no less capable than my classmate, Minato.

"Ash~~ I want a present too!!" At this moment, Heart of the Strings ran over to Ash, quickly stretched out her arms, wrapped her hands around Ash's waist, and hugged Ash from behind, her soft Dynamax form pressed against Ash's back.

She forcibly restrained Xiaozhi, then wrapped her entire body around him, pressing her fair cheek against his.

"Xin, I need to think about what to send you."

"No need to think! Just give me the smile of Ash Ketchum, the world's number one!"

"I see!"

As he spoke, Xiaozhi's handsome and resolute face shone brightly in the sunlight.

Immediately, Ash smiled in front of Kokoro, attracting everyone's attention.

Now we're back to square one.

We need to find a way to secretly take Ash away. ×2

Yushina and Ran couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts.

Immediately afterwards, they each glided lightly to either side of Xiaozhi and gently but firmly grasped Xiaozhi's arms.

"Mitake! Have you improved your skills recently?"

After receiving their gifts, Yushina and Ran, these two rivals, started arguing again.

"Huh? Your meritocracy is pretty much over, and I might not even lose to you!"

The two girls had reached the point of arguing.

"I'm sure Ash wouldn't want to see us arguing, so you should let go first!"

"Ah...me too! Minato-kun should be the one to let go first!"

Yukina and Ran: We can't lose! We absolutely cannot lose to Mitake (Minato)!

As for Happy Hero - String Heart? Both of them understood that fighting each other was absolutely hopeless!

There's absolutely no need to try and beat an opponent you can't beat.

"Ugh..."

Ash was already foaming at the mouth and had lost consciousness.

Left and right - Yushina and Ran, behind the heart, it's like going back to the old days!

Even a super rookie can have things that are difficult to deal with.

Ash's Pokémon battle in the spacious battle arena at the villa to rapidly increase their strength.

After all, everyone wants to participate in the World Championships, so they put in extra effort.

"Bashi-sha-sha!" Blaziken's muscles tensed, its eyes fixed on its opponent, and it charged forward at incredible speed. A burst of azure flame erupted from its right foot in an instant, its power and speed reaching their peak. Its kick made Urshifu, Sirfetch'd, and Infernape feel Blaziken's overwhelming strength.

"Whoa?!" "Yamo?!" "Ugh!!"

With a swift and relentless barrage of blows, the three Fighting-type Pokémon—Ustilt, Sirfetch'd, and Infernape—were instantly sent flying.

Their bodies traced a path through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

It's not just about power, but also about its amazing speed and precision.

Each kick hits the opponent's vital points accurately, leaving them defenseless, and the Fighting-type Pokémon gain a lot of experience, memorizing the moves.

The speed of mutual enhancement of the same attribute will be much faster.

"Bashabashasha? (Is this all there is to it? With this level of skill, you can only make it to the World Championships, let alone participate in the Masters Tournament!)" Blaziken coldly looked at these Pokémon, and the flames under its feet reduced in intensity, turning into ordinary flames.

"No way!" Immediately afterward, Onion Soldier stood up, its whole body surrounded by golden light, picked up an onion and charged over.

This scene surprised Blaziken, as it had used considerable force just now.

It can only be said that Sirfetch'd has a willpower far exceeding that of ordinary Pokémon, making even Blaziken excited.

"Whoa! (I absolutely have to participate in the World Championship!)" At the same time, Infernape bursts into flames.

"Awooo~~! (I have to win!)" Martial Arts Master Xiong barely managed to stand up, constantly gathering his strength before unleashing the Dark Nether Strike.

All three Pokémon simultaneously chose to charge towards Blaziken.

"Basha! (Interesting!)" Looking at this scene, Blaziken couldn't help but recall itself when it first met Ash. It was just as tenacious, unwilling to admit defeat, and eager to become stronger.

"Bashar—! (Come on!)"

At this moment, the Blaziken let out a deafening roar, and its entire body burst into explosive blue flames.

"gabugabu!!"

"Hoo-hoo!" "Ago!!" "Ooh~" "Ooh!" "Ooh-hoo!"

It's not just Fighting-type Pokémon that are training hard to improve their strength. On the other side, Garchomp is acting as a coach, patiently instructing Pokémon such as Charizard, Naganadel, Dracovish, Dragonite, and Latias.

Charizard's strength is actually comparable to Garchomp's; the difference between them is not significant.

With enough combat experience, one can become more mature and stronger.

"kouga!" "haba~~" "gengengenga!" "Boom!" "Fixed code!"

Greninja, Winged Razor, Gengar, Rillaboom, and Ursaring gathered together for a massive battle.

"Old Kai! (Give me your all, I will accept it all!)" The Lizard King wanted to train his physique and develop the willpower to move freely when faced with highly effective moves, so he challenged the high-speed, high-attack Ancient Sword Leopard.

"Bao! (Good!)"

The Ancient Sword Leopard charged forward, while the Lizard King confidently observed its movements and tried its best to dodge.

With the World Championships fast approaching and only about a month left, Ash's Pokémon are busy improving their skills and preparing for the competition.

In Ash's absence, they can only improve their fighting strength by sparring with other Pokémon in order to qualify for the competition.

Ash had already made his decision: he would bring all his Pokémon to this grand event.

1285 Royal Battle

These Pokémon have accompanied him all the way, each one an indispensable partner on his journey. Therefore, he wants each and every one of them to shine on the field.

Of course, there are some special cases, such as Entei and Solgaleo not participating.

Entei wanted to witness Ash's Pokémon; it didn't need to prove itself in this way.

Solgaleo, as a new member of Ash's team, chose to give up, and it still has enough time to prepare. It can save its strength for the next World Championship.

Ash has a total of nineteen Pokémon, enough to participate in the eight Masters Qualifying Tournament and even compete in the Masters Championship. Their addition makes Ash's team highly competitive in competitions.

The 9th place finisher will enter one of the eight Masters tournaments and the remaining three tournaments.

There are four matches in total, and the rules for this eight-master elimination tournament are all-out battles in the preliminary rounds.

3v3 is not a thing!

"These are Ash's Pokémon. I hope I can challenge them sometime." After playing on the beach, Yukina was dressed in an elegant black outfit, well-tailored and with smooth lines, exuding a noble and mysterious aura.

Black stockings tightly hugged her long, slender legs, exuding sexiness and allure while also highlighting her aloof and arrogant temperament.

This aloofness didn't last long and was quickly broken.

"Ash, let's hurry up, the Royal Battle is about to start!"

"Okay! I understand!"

Ran Mitake didn't care at all that Yushina was deep in thought and pulled Satoshi away from the left.

"Then I'll hold Ash's right hand!" Just then, Shin quickly took Ash's right hand.

"Huh?!" Suddenly, Yuki's golden pupils widened as she looked at the three people walking beside her, her voice filled with confusion.

Yukina: What about me?!

"And what about me~~~!!!"

"Full capacity!" "After all, it's the Alola Champions' triumphant return match!" "Exciting!"

The arena for the Royal Battles was packed with people and bustling with excitement.

Thousands of Alola residents and travelers from all over the world gathered together, creating a lively atmosphere. The entrance for the contestants was uniquely designed, using the appearances of four Pokémon as its prototype.

First came Charizard, followed by Haxorus, Gyarados, and Tyranitar.

"Ash, good luck! Waaah! I really want to participate too!" Kasumi had already picked up two cheering sticks to cheer for Ash.

"He's in my heart too... Ash, traveling with her must be incredibly busy. No, they seem to be the same type of people."

"We need to cheer for both of them."

Among those sitting in the audience were Misaki and Kanon, whom Ash had met in the Alola region last time.

"Everyone! Alola!" Today's host, Lillie, mustered her courage and stood on the stage, her face flushed.

To welcome Ash, Lillie is doing her best to stand on the unfamiliar stage and give her commentary.

"Alolan!" ×N

The sounds of the Alora people echoed from the surrounding area, filling the entire venue with their lively atmosphere.

Lillie: "Welcome everyone to the triumphant Royal Battle of the first Alola League Champions! The commentary is provided by me, Lillie, the number one Pokémon fan in the Alola region, and..."

"I, Lusamine, will take the stage! Without further ado, please welcome the contestant to the stage."

As Lillie's mother, Lusamine happily came to her side and loudly announced the contestants who were about to enter the arena.

Lusamine: "The first leg will definitely be the competition of the world's strongest eight-master elimination tournament! Our champions are Ash and Pikachu!"

"Go for it, Pikachu!"

"Pikachu~!"

Illuminated by the lights, Ash arrived at the front and couldn't help but look at his good partner, Pikachu.

After this battle, there will be another battle against Dr. Kukui, so let's take this one easy.

Lillie: "Next up are the current eighth-ranked player in the Eight Masters, Yushina and Emperor Naboo!"

"There's only one goal: the summit!" "Naboo!"

Yushina raised a finger, and Emperor Naboo stood beside her, his imposing presence and the surrounding blue aura creating a sense of oppression.

Lusamine: "Next up is the third one, the Kanto region's Grass-type Elite Four member - Lan and Venusaur!"

"Ash and Minato are so energetic, I'll just do what I always do."

"Bana~~"

Ran stood to the side, watching Ash and Yushina interact, her expression somewhat helpless. Beside Ran, a Venusaur stood quietly, looking vibrant.

Lillie: "The last to appear is Alola League's Fairy-type Elite Four member, Heart and Saifu!"

"Huh?!"×3

At this moment, Ash, Yushina, and Ran all looked shocked.

I never expected that the other party would reach the position of the Alola League Elite Four during this period.

You didn't actually bribe the Alola League with your money, did you?! ×3

"It was only after I completed the Island Tour that Mr. Hala, the King of the Islands, invited me to join!"

Shin's golden eyes shone brightly, and her radiant smile became even more dazzling as her gaze swept over Ash and the others.

During this time, Xin has also grown a lot, completed the island tour, and was invited to join the Alola League.
