Chapter 145

As the Poké Ball opened,

In the red light,

The explosive monkey's round, chubby figure appeared, covered in white short fur, with black rings on its limbs, and its fists looked like boxing gloves.

Ash's explosive monkey

【Pokémon】: Explosive Monkey (Male)

【Attribute】: Fighting

【Trait】: Unyielding 1 (When opponent lowers stats, own attack sharply increases)

【Level】: 98

【Item】: Black Belt (Boosts Fighting-type moves 20% power)

【IV】: 6v

【Base Stats】: Total 455, HP 65, Attack 105, Defense 60, Sp. Atk 60, Sp. Def 70, Speed 95,

Although also Champion-level,

But compared to Ash's more hardworking fire dragon and flaming monkey, the explosive monkey still has room for improvement.

Besides having room to level up, the explosive monkey also has room to improve its form.

Starting from the ninth generation game,

After the explosive monkey uses its exclusive move Rage Fist 20 times, it can evolve into the Fighting/Ghost-type abandoned world monkey.

Unfortunately,

In reality, aside from the explosive monkey population in the Paldea region, which still preserves the complete inheritance and masters the explosive monkey clan's exclusive move Rage Fist, they basically evolve naturally upon reaching adulthood.

These explosive monkeys that left the Paldea region, after generations of intermarrying with other species, have long since lost the inheritance.

Ash's explosive monkey, for this reason, has still not evolved into the abandoned world monkey.

Come to think of it, I still have a way to contact Nemo; I could get in touch another day and see if I can get Nemo, who is from Paldea, to help gather some study materials.

……

The last Pokémon of the Cocoburu faction is not the imagined Fighting-type Pokémon,

but is an Electric-type Pokémon used to counter Flying-types, namely ethics qin cat.

Unfortunately,

This ethics qin cat has the trait Intimidate.

Upon appearance, it gave the explosive monkey a blue light ring, lowering its Attack by 1.

The explosive monkey's trait Unyielding 1 triggered, greatly boosting its Attack, Attack +3!

Subtracting the one stage lowered by Intimidate, Attack still +2.

Ash commanded the explosive monkey to use Dig, launching an underground ambush; the Ground-type move hits Electric-type, one-hit KO'ing the ethics qin cat.

【Trait Enhancing……】

【Trait】: Unyielding 2 (When opponent lowers stats, own Attack rises to maximum)

【Note】: If the stat lowered by the opponent is Attack, then Attack +6, offsetting -1, final Attack +5

Witnessing the ethics qin cat's defeat, Cocoburu, who had already put on the Pain Mask, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hah… Finally over!"

However,

Just thinking that in battle, I defeated one of Ash's Pokémon and even forced him to use three Pokémon in total.

Cocoburu's smile grew even brighter.

Good,

All we need to do now is wait, wait for Ash to defeat other strong opponents; then his streak will naturally rise.

"Grandpa, what about me and Keerni?"

"Don't call me grandpa, call me grandfather!"

Cocoburu, who had long been eager for Ash to change his way of speaking, had no trace of stiffness left on his face, already smiling so wide he couldn't close his mouth.

"Yay! ヾ(?? ▽?)ノ"

Keerni excitedly shook her body, roller-skating quickly downstairs, came to the field and directly flung herself into Ash's arms.

"Great, Ash, from now on we'll really be together."

"We were already together."

Ash's gaze fell on the helmet strap tied around Keerni's chin.

He carefully undid it for the girl, took off the helmet and held it in his left hand, wrapped his arm around her back, and simultaneously reached out his right hand to gently stroke her golden blond hair.

A smile flickered across his face.

Seeing this, Cocoburu was extremely satisfied, and couldn't help but excitedly rub the long, unruly eyebrows hanging from the corners of his eyes.

"Ash, Keerni, congratulations!"

After Ash let go of Keerni, Serena also lunged forward.

The three happily hugged and spun around.

Tierno: ……

This kind of thing happened; should I be happy?

She was directly confused by Serena's performance; logically she shouldn't be angry at this point, right?

They always show it like that on TV!

However,

Think about it: scheming and fighting, even doing everything possible to reduce competitors— isn't it just to have your other half bring food here, to get as much love from them as possible?

This kind of thing… considering Ash's non-human body,

There's simply no chance of monopolizing it, right?

Even the best land, if subjected to ultra-high-intensity farming all day, will surely break down.

Thinking that way, and then seeing the happy Serena,

Tierno suddenly figured it out, his face also breaking into a smile, and he happily joined in.

Kěkěbù'ěr: "……"

Clemont: "……"

Yurie: "……"

Although I don't know exactly what's going on, seeing that my granddaughter wasn't being excluded still let Kěkěbù'ěr breathe a sigh of relief.

Family knows family affairs.

Keerni's Pokémon training is decent, and her personal combat skills are also not bad.

But when it comes to scheming and fighting…

Put nicely, he's an optimist, straightforward and guileless; put bluntly, he's just a complete idiot.

The only thing Kěkěbù'ěr had previously worried about was that such a pure Keerni would be bullied.

Now it seems,

With Serena and Tierno looking out for her, Keerni's married life should be much better than I imagined.

Thinking about this, Kěkěbù'ěr also smiled,

Only Clemont and Yurie, the two siblings, looked utterly lost, seeming completely out of place.

Fortunately,

Beep beep beep…

A sudden notification broke the eerie atmosphere.

Ash pulled out his phone and glanced at the screen.

The screen showed three incoming messages: from Xīluónà, Kǎlǔnǎi, and Dàwú!

Serena also saw the three names on the screen.

Her face instantly flashed with surprise.

"Three Champions contacting you at once— maybe something big happened; you'd better go check it out."

Serena gestured that Ash could go to the corner to check.

Ash nodded, not giving it much thought.

Arriving in the dark player tunnel, he opened his phone and first tapped the earliest message.

Karen's message.

First, it congratulated Ash on winning the summer camp; then it said there would be a Surprise for him in a few days.

And it came with an attached picture of someone wearing yoga tights, showing off their peach-like complexion and graceful figure.

Ash's mind instantly conjured the previous photo they'd sent: a milky-white milk bath, with a peach-like graceful figure.

Well, Ash had no doubt whatsoever,

that the next time they meet, the other person will swallow him whole.

He downloaded the picture,

Ash then opened Cynthia's message.

It was also a message with an attached picture,

Unlike Karen's delicious peach-colored food photo, Cynthia's picture had a very… weird style.

The content was a bamboo slip that was almost rotting.

Ash glanced a few times, but didn't recognize it.

He also looked at the text Cynthia had written.

"The newly unearthed ancient document from Abundant Source records a giant stone that may be the origin of Mega Evolution; do you know anything about it?"

Abundant Source, giant stone, Mega Evolution origin,

These three elements together,

Ash's mind instantly recalled the game plot and the XY Mega Evolution side story.

This probably refers to that huge all-purpose Mega Evolution Stone, right?

It could help Rayquaza, which should Mega Evolve via Dragon Ascent, achieve Mega Evolution, and also let Kyogre undergo Primal Reversion, later even giving rise to the giant stone Zygarde.

That meteorite is truly a rare treasure.

Such a treasure naturally shouldn't be given away for free to Fúlādálì.

Moreover,

Compared to Fúlādálì's fraudulent actions, Ash has a very legitimate reason.

After all,

This is a treasure that could provoke Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre to fight over it.

With such a treasure, how could one guard it without some strength?

Coincidentally, he Ash has that strength, so the giant stone should still be sent to Masara Town, not to Fúlādálì's research institute.

After thinking, Ash replied to Cynthia on his phone, "You in Abundant Source?"

"Mm!"

"Wait for me, let's talk when we meet!"

This time after Ash replied, Cynthia directly sent a chibi Cynthia image 【settled】 emoticon pack.

Afterwards Ash then opened Steven's message,

The content was basically the same, basically talking about the boulder Cynthia mentioned; because of the boulder matter, he needs to go back.

After contacting Kalunai, it will let Kalos Steel-type Elite Four Yan Jia take over my supervision of the engineering progress and security issues at the Diamond Mine Country; sending him a message is just to reassure him.

Ash replied to Steven with a message.

Tell Steven that if he encounters something he can't resolve, he can call for Ash and Mewtwo's support; payment to be discussed later!

Even blood brothers settle accounts clearly, let alone the two of us aren't even relatives,

Say it in advance; when the time comes and Steven calls him, it will be tacitly accepted that this trip is an employment relationship, and he will definitely have to be paid,

Ash then proposed that he himself would protect the boulder, believing Steven would make the correct decision.
