Chapter 100: Snorlax's Overwhelming Battle Power

【Ash：That was done by Black Satoshi, what's it to me? If you're capable, go find him.】

「You little brat, everyone in the black-and-white world is so scheming!!! 」

Musashi's teeth itched with anger, his whole face slightly twisted from fury, his fists clenched tight, as if they might explode at any moment.

She saw the Black World's Team Rocket also being played around by those brats, making her even more furious. Those brats became more cunning and quick, always able to find their Team Rocket and then give them a thorough thrashing.

Bai Shijie was the same.

「Damn, they just snatched away the yuzu we painstakingly picked. 」

Xiaocilang's voice trembled slightly with anger as he harshly rebuked Ash's behavior, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and rage.

Now their Team Rocket Trio also feels indignant on behalf of the Black World's Team Rocket Trio.

But they were just feeling indignant; most of the audience merely saw them as entertainment, watching the Team Rocket antics, after all, usually Team Rocket just gives Ash's group an assist.

Black World—

After Ash successfully captured that lovable yet extraordinarily powerful Snorlax, they arrived at Makete Island, where various Bug-type Pokémon grew everywhere.

Xiaojian also captured a Scyther here.

Upon reaching the island, Ash and his party were deeply attracted by the scenery, strolling through the dense forest, the ground soft soil beneath their feet, the air filled with insect chirps and bird calls, even hearing the cries of big scallion ducks, with big scallion ducks flying overhead carrying seasoning.

The island was shaded by lush trees, fruit abundant. They decided to take a brief rest here, picking some tree fruits to replenish supplies. At the same time, Ash wanted to use this opportunity to test Snorlax's strength and see how it performed.

The well-fed Snorlax indeed displayed astonishing strength. First, it raced Squirtle in a swimming match. Although Snorlax is huge, it moved unusually agilely in the water, engaging in a fierce contest with Squirtle.

Snorlax then battled Charizard, again showing astonishing agility and combat power. It could swiftly dodge Charizard's fiery breath and use its own strength to strike back. This battle let Ash deeply appreciate Snorlax's power and potential, giving him a deeper understanding of the seemingly dull-witted Snorlax.

「An agile fatty?! 」

Even Ash was stunned; Snorlax was incredibly agile, even capable of the butterfly stroke, and not slow at all, completely shattering their traditional impression of large Pokémon's swimming ability.

「Is this really a Snorlax? 」

Xiaojian, meanwhile, frantically recorded Snorlax's data, hoping to document every trait of this unique Pokémon for future in-depth study and analysis.

「If Professor Oak saw this unique Snorlax, he'd probably be excited for a long time. 」

Ash never expected that the dull-looking Snorlax would be this strong.

「If only Psyduck could swim like Snorlax. 」

Thinking of her own Psyduck, Xiaoxia felt weird; normal-type Snorlax can swim, but your Water-type Psyduck can't—if you said that out loud, everyone would laugh.

「Take it slow! 」

Ash also couldn't do anything about Xiaoxia's Psyduck.

At that moment, on the battlefield, Snorlax was engaged in a fierce showdown with Charizard. Snorlax used its signature million-ton heavy punch as its attack; each punch held astonishing power, colliding with Charizard's Dragon Claw and producing a deafening roar.

He also nimbly used Ice Punch, gathering cold frost on his fist to strike back at Charizard, and then blocked Charizard's Smokescreen Rush; this rapid series of offense and defense left Ash utterly shocked—this Snorlax is truly fierce!

Fighting Charizard to a standstill, the key was Snorlax's remarkably striking speed; it's hard to imagine such a huge Snorlax being able to match Charizard's speed.

Boom!

After the fight, Snorlax lay on the ground to rest, munching on the tree fruits Pikachu and the others had gathered.

「Hah～」

Snorlax handed the yuzu to Pikachu, pointed at Pikachu's tail, indicating that Pikachu should use its tail to cut it open.

「Pika! 」

Pikachu understood, using its tail to slice the yuzu open.

「Hah(￣︶￣)～」

Snorlax took big bites, its face beaming with satisfaction and happiness; a friend's tail is truly handy—it can be used to cut open yuzu.

【Qianli：Snorlax is this agile; aside from its appearance and appetite, it bears no resemblance to an ordinary Snorlax—who's ever seen a Snorlax this fast!】

【Professor Oak：Ash's Snorlax is indeed different; I'm quite curious.】

【Xiaomao：At the Silver Conference, that Snorlax was the pillar of Ash's Pokémon team, quite strong.】

【Xiba：I feel Snorlax's potential is the greatest, it knows many moves, and as long as it's full, its combat power goes straight to max.】

After a brief rest, Ash and his group headed to Citron Island.

Because they received word that Elite Four member Kenan would hold a lecture on Citron Island and also invite guests to battle.

As a fan of Kenan, Xiaoxia naturally wanted to go see it.

Ash cared deeply about the Elite Four, since the last time Xiaomao and Xiba had a battle—although Xiaomao lost—he wanted to fight the Elite Four himself.

Just watching Xiba and Xiaomao battle last time, he could feel immense pressure from the sidelines.

With Xiaomao as the opponent, that pressure was definitely greater than his.

Arriving at Citron Island, since Kenan's lecture would start the next day, Ash and company went to a seaside restaurant for lunch, planning to stroll around and then see if they could find a chance to battle Kenan.

They also happened to spot Kenan there by chance.

She had a gorgeous head of wine-red hair, a slim yet well-proportioned figure, a tiny waist and beautiful legs, full of vitality and charm.

Dressed in a red top, she radiated alluring charm. The blue long-sleeve outer jacket added a touch of freshness and elegance, the form-fitting skirt outlining her thighs perfectly tracing her curves, and she wore a pair of glasses, adding a sense of dignity and grace, making her look even more intelligent and attractive.

But Kenan was currently gazing at the seaside.

As Kenan's admirer, Xiaoxia was thrilled, went up to greet her, and addressed her respectfully as "Kenan-person".

But faced with Xiaoxia's enthusiasm, Kenan appeared dazed, her reactions a bit slow.

But Ash also understood, after all, having learned each Elite Four member's traits from Master Xiba, the Kenan before him had been evaluated by Elite Four Xiba as "usually like flowing water, but in battle turning into hard ice."

「Sorry, I was just looking at the scenery just now. 」

Kenan looked toward the approaching Xiaoxia, feeling she seemed somewhat familiar.

【Ash：Why does it feel like Elite Four Kenan is half a beat slow?】

【Xiba：You're not mistaken; she really is half a beat slow, but in battle she becomes a different person, like an ice block, showing no mercy.】

【Kenan：Hehe, you're badmouthing me, huh!】

【Xiba: Bad talk was said by Black Xiba, what's it got to do with me!】

Kenan recognized Ash and his group, except for Xiao Jian.

"Aren't you Ash, the Champion of the Stone English Conference?"

Kenan pushed his glasses, gazed at Ash with a gentle smile, "You must have come to challenge the Chief Trainer of the Orange League, right!"

"Yes!"

Ash nodded, thinking, "All this has been guessed; could my intentions be that obvious?"

Seems he had seen through Ash's thoughts, Kenan gently said, "We also came this way."
