Chapter 253

Arrived at Martial Arts Island, happened to meet the Gym Leader on the way, he also went surfing.

Ash didn't disturb him, so he first played around on Martial Arts Island, not in a rush to challenge the Gym.

First checked into the Poké Ball Center, Ash and his party changed into swimwear.

Ash and Brock just wore swim trunks, revealing their muscular upper bodies.

Although Brock is a few years older, he actually can't match Ash's physique.

Ash's abdominal muscles were clearly visible; in the soft light, like finely carved textures, they spread unevenly across his abdomen, each one containing strength and beauty.

"Even abs..." Xiaosheng said enviously.

"His abs are something I can't envy..." Brock thought of Ash's training routine, feeling not envy but admiration.

Since Xiaosheng still needed to learn surfing, Brock volunteered to teach him, leaving Ash alone to wait for Misty.

Pikachu and the others also went ahead, all heading to swim.

Soon after, Misty walked out of the room with light steps, came up to Ash with a smile on her face: "How is it? My new swimsuit isn't bad, right!"

She wore a pink swimsuit, tailored perfectly, outlining her graceful figure. She took off her headscarf, her soft long hair casually draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of softness and gentleness.

Sunlight fell on her fair, delicate skin, as if gilding her with a faint halo, making her complexion like jade, crystal clear.

Her two long legs, highlighted by the swimsuit, appeared especially slender and straight, fair as jade, glowing with a faint sheen in the sunlight.

"Pretty good." Ash nodded, the little one also very cute.

Misty's bright eyes looked at Ash, seeing his muscles, a surge of impulse welled up in her heart, wanting to reach out and touch him once.

After thinking, Misty's cheeks flushed with a hint of red.

【Tengshu: Black Satoshi is really leisurely, his companions also full of youthful energy.】

Most importantly, Black Satoshi doesn't disturb his surfing training; after he finishes training, only then does he issue a challenge.

【Xiba: Black Satoshi's physique is great, muscles not big, but the lines look powerful.】

【A Si: Young people having such a strong body, comparable to Caidou.】

【Caidou: No, I can't compare to Black Satoshi's physique; nobody can match Black Satoshi... seems there's also the Team Rocket Trio.】

Most people's attention was on Ash's physique, but Misty focused on the interaction between her in the Black World and Black Satoshi.

Their behavior was somewhat intimate; she doesn't surf, but Black Satoshi teaches her from the side.

Xiaosheng learned surfing together with Brock, and the Poké Ball also played by themselves; nobody paid attention to them.

Misty felt a surge of joy inside, very happy to surf with Ash; her gaze toward him held an indescribable meaning.

"Don't rush, stay steady."

Misty fell off the surfboard, Ash hurriedly swam over.

"When turning, shift your weight to the board's outer side to better control direction."

Ash tied her hair for her.

Feeling Ash's movement, Misty turned her back to him, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, letting out a soft 'hum'.

Ash and his group played surfing at the seaside; Ladiyasi played a while then went to find Ash to play together.

After a try, Ladiyasi pulled Ash with a rope, while Ash controlled the surfboard from behind.

At first it was stable, but unable to resist Ladiyasi's love of play, the speed increased again; Ash in the rear was flustered, swaying left and right to keep his footing.

Whoosh!

Two figures appeared on the sea surface.

One figure flew in mid-air, pulling the other figure to glide over the sea surface.

Tengshu, who was training with the Iron Palm Warrior, saw Ash and Ladiyasi's fast surfing; wherever he passed over the sea surface, the surroundings instantly kicked up a spray.

"That's Ash, whom Xiba and Master A-si spoke of, the super-strong newcomer Trainer from the Kanto region!"

Wisteria Tree saw Latios beside Ash, his expression grave; if nothing unexpected, Ash should be challenging him.

Facing a Trainer stronger than the Xiba Elite Four and his own Master A-si, Wisteria Tree was still very eager.

Not long after playing, Ash and his group rested on the beach.

While cooking, Brock suddenly discovered that the ingredients he had prepared were missing.

"It's the one causing trouble!"

Ash used psychic power to grab the lobster minion and handed the ingredients to Brock.

"Lobster minion, aren't you dissatisfied?"

Seeing the lobster minion struggling wildly but unable to break free of the psychic restraints, it became unhappy; Ash slowly asked, "If I battle you, will you let me capture you?"

"Hehehe!"

The lobster minion immediately agreed upon hearing that, saying, "Battling you is no problem; later, don't cry, my claws aren't blind."

If I lose to you, I'll be even more embarrassed to stay here; I might as well just follow you.

Both sides having prepared, the lobster minion felt the psychic restraints on it lifted, and immediately distanced itself.

"You okay? Ash wants to battle the lobster minion; shouldn't we let Pikachu and the others go?"

Misty was a little worried; although she had seen Ash train often during the journey, facing a Poké Ball, it would be hard to defeat it with her own strength.

"Don't worry, Ash can handle that lobster minion."

Brock glanced at Ash, who was preparing to battle the lobster miss, and then resumed preparing food.

Xiaosheng stared at Ash without blinking, his eyes full of admiration.

Having watched Ash battle Poké Balls several times, the naive lobster minion probably couldn't beat Ash, and likely still thought Ash was easy to bully.

"Come on!"

As the words fell, a blue light flashed across Ash's eyes.

The lobster minion wasn't polite either, charging forward, raising its two claws high, and swinging them hard at Ash.

Ash's body shifted slightly backward, easily dodging the lobster minion's fierce attack. At the same time, a blue gleam began to flash on his hand, aura power was gathering.

He tightly controlled the lobster minion with psychic power; the lobster minion struggled in the air a few times but could not break free from Ash's restraint. Ash swung his arm and threw the lobster minion far away.

Hey!

The lobster minion twisted its body; sometimes when Ash dodged its attack, he also gave it a whip kick.

It was still the first time being hit like this by a human... the lobster minion, unable to catch its breath, roared again and charged forward.

Ash dodged while gathering aura; finally shifting to the side, he approached the lobster minion, suddenly raised his hand, and an aura blast shot forth from his hand with a boom, striking the lobster minion's body.

With a booming bang! The lobster minion was blown away by the aura blast's powerful force, it tumbled a few times in midair, and finally crashed heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Ash immediately pulled out a Poké Ball from his waist and accurately smashed it onto the lobster minion.

The Poké Ball wobbled three times, then stopped!

"I caught the lobster minion!"

"Pi—Pikachu!"

"Wuu!"

Pikachu and Latias also cheered beside Ash.
