Chapter 161: The Champions' Battle for Ash!

Although Chloe is an academic, she is also a straight-A student.

During her first battle, she quickly grasped the joy of Pokémon battling.

With a Shadow Ball from Misdreavus, the battle successfully came to an end!

Victory in battle.

Chloe took out a Poké Ball and caught the Darmanitan inside.

This was her first time defeating a Pokémon through battle.

Darmanitan holds extraordinary significance for Chloe!

After resolving the battle.

The two headed deeper into the ruins, encountering someone on the way who claimed to be part of a ruins research team.

However, this person did not stop Ash and Chloe.

After entering the ruins,

Chloe accidentally stepped on a Sandile's tail.

The Sandile, having crawled out from the sand, was just about to bite back.

But as soon as it turned its head, it saw Ash's Krookodile.

With just a single look.

The Sandile knelt!

"Boss, don't eat me!"

Krookodile still had plenty of composure; it grabbed the Sandile by the tail and tossed it out of the ruins with a swing.

Walking into the depths of the ruins, there were all kinds of mechanisms and traps everywhere.

Relying on his wit, Ash successfully triggered every single trap.

Even Chloe couldn't help but admire Ash's luck.

Being able to trigger them all is not something an ordinary person can do!

However, they still reached the deepest part of the ruins.

Here, they met an explorer they had encountered at the edge of the desert.

According to her explanation, this was the very center of the ruins.

And the legendary giant that existed only in legends was right here.

When they walked inside, they saw two Cofagrigus.

Seeing the state of the Cofagrigus, Ash immediately judged that there were people inside.

Pikachu's attack successfully rescued the people trapped within.

Yet, they still hadn't discovered where the legendary giant was.

At this moment, Ash's trap-triggering constitution activated again.

When he accidentally stepped on a trap in the center of the ruins.

He discovered that the floor in the center of the ruins rotated.

With the cooperation of the others, all the traps were triggered once more.

The emblem in the center of the ruins lit up.

A giant sphere appeared within it.

Immediately following, the sphere shattered.

The legendary giant revealed its figure.

It was actually a Golurk, far exceeding the size of a normal Pokémon.

A normal Golurk is only 2 meters tall.

But this Golurk, known as the legendary giant, was actually a massive five meters tall!

After the seal was broken, the Golurk began attacking everyone around it indiscriminately.

"Chloe, our mission is to investigate the giant's data, right?" Ash asked, turning his head toward Chloe beside him.

Chloe, caught off guard by the sudden question, froze for a moment, then nodded firmly!

"That's it, I've decided! I'm going to catch this Golurk and take it back!"

Ash said excitedly.

Investigate the giant, right!

Then I'll just bring the giant back directly!

Plan successful!

It seemed to have heard Ash's words.

The Golurk actually stopped its random attacks.

It turned its body and launched an all-out attack on Ash!

"You're so excited, you must really want to come home with me! I'm thinking the same thing!"

Ash tilted his head to look at Pikachu and Krookodile beside him.

"It says it wants to come home with us."

"Pika?" Pikachu looked at the excited Ash with a black line on its forehead.

"Are you sure?!"

However, Krookodile nodded in firm agreement.

Attacking the Trainer so specifically, it must really like the Trainer.

Just like itself back then, this is just another way of expressing affection!

What a pity, your thoughts have been seen through by the Trainer!

Facing the fist smashed down by the Golurk, Krookodile did not retreat at all.

The sharp claws in its hands lit up with green Dragon-type energy.

Dragon Claw collided with the giant fist! With one clash, the entire ruin trembled!

"Maybe we should leave first." The explorer said to the two beside her.

Seeing Ash, who was already completely fired up, they nodded in agreement.

This hot-blooded guy is way too brave!

【Jessie: Meowth says this Krookodile's inner monologue is so rich; it actually agrees with the brat's idea that this Golurk wants to go home with him.】

【Caitlin: I get it! This is how Ash makes friends! Beat them up first, then ask if they want to go home with you!】

This... is also called making friends?

Are you sure it's not kidnapping?

【Lillie: This Golurk looks so powerful, can Ash win?】

【Ash: You can doubt me, but you absolutely cannot doubt the strength of me and my partners! Against an opponent like this, it's absolutely easy!】

【Cynthia: Such confidence, Ash, I admire you more and more.】

【Lance: First of all, I declare that Ash is a Trainer from our Guandong region and will absolutely not go to other regions! Champion Cynthia, give up on that idea.】

【Cynthia: What you say doesn't count, it depends on Ash's own thoughts.】

【Serena: Ash! Come to Kalos! I will accompany you to become stronger together!】

I don't know when it started.

This group of Elite Four and Champions had already regarded Ash as an existence on their level.

To have such a person join their own Alliance when they were still unknown.

For the entire Alliance, it was the most correct choice.

A future Champion!

This is simply a treasure!

【Ash: Um, my home is in Pallet Town!】
