Chapter 139

"Ash I want to send out my second Pokémon, you also know it, go, Heracross!"

Red light bloomed,

A slender, milky-white Heracross appeared on the field, its fingers lightly brushing the long, thin antennae hanging down from both sides of its head.

These days Heracross has defeated many challengers; there has never been a challenger who could win against its exaggerated extreme speed and double attack.

Therefore, even if it is sent out, it signifies that a battle is imminent,

Yet Heracross's demeanor remains composed.

Until…… Heracross clearly saw the opponent.

How could the opponent be Ash, this terrifying human?

"Heracross~"

Heracross gasped, lightly covering its mouth and nose, its long eyelashes fluttered, it was dumbfounded, and even the long antennae on both sides stood straight up from excessive shock.

Long time no see, Heracross, how have you been?

Ash smiled and greeted Heracross.

"Heracross……" Oh no, from the moment I saw you, I've been not good.

【Pokémon】: Heracross

【Type】: Bug+Fighting

【Trait】: Alien Beast Boost (defeating an opponent raises one's highest stat)

【Level】: 43→45

【Individual】: HP31, Attack31, Defense4, Sp. Atk31, Sp. Def7, Speed31,

【Base Stats】: Total570, HP71, Attack137, Defense37, Sp. Atk137, Sp. Def37, Speed151,

Compared to when we parted,

This Heracross's level has increased by two again.

But what concerns Ash is the preview of the upgraded Alien Beast Boost trait,

After all, he also has a perfect-IV level 70 Heracross.

After this period of time,

Professor Oak has already published a paper on the ultimate alien beast and added Heracross to the global Pokédex.

Thereafter, there's no need to stay in Masara Town any longer,

Instead, one can teleport over to have fun.

Collecting his thoughts, Ash lowered his gaze.

【Can Be Enhanced】

【Trait】: Alien Beast Boost 1 (defeating an opponent raises one's two highest stats)

【Strengthening Mission】: Must defeat a 4-star opponent while Ash witnesses the entire process.

From increasing one aspect to increasing two?

This strengthening direction… the variables are too few; just directly add numerical values would be fine.

Second-stage strengthening, enhances three abilities;

Third-stage strengthening, enhances four abilities;

Roughly speaking, it's about the same,

For the dual-attack explosion, to a Frosmoth as fragile as a giant hornet,

If it truly is strengthened this way, it is undoubtedly a very great piece of news.

The increase in dual-attack speed, the effect on Frosmoth's combat power goes without saying,

The fourth enhancement can also increase Frosmoth's stamina, granting it greater endurance on the field.

Perfect!

If there's a chance, I'd actually like to bring the Frosmoth over to play around.

At the same time,

With the defeat of Super Lucario, Kekubu'er knew that Keerni could no longer stop Ash.

Although Kekubu'er hopes Ash and Keerni will be together and ideally have a baby who masters Waveguide Power.

But as a grandfather,

Still being called an old-fashioned stick-in-the-mud by Keerni, at the very least he should put on a show of propriety.

After the gym battle ends, he will propose a full 6v6 battle with Ash.

Just go through the motions,

Then at night lock Ash and Keerni in a room together to hurry up and make a baby.

Plan succeeded,

So… what should the name of the great-grandson be?

Just as Kekubu'er fell into idle speculation,

Ash had already sent out his second Pokémon.

"Alright, you're the one, Gardevoir!"

"Huh! Finally my turn? I didn't expect they wouldn't send out that watermelon frog."

Ash: …

Greninja: …

"Croak croak!" Don't think I can't hear you, hey!

Greninja angrily broke free from the dive ball and glared furiously at the alternate-color Gardevoir.

"Kuga~" You're an idiot!

- No names.

"All right, all right, Koga Ninja Frog, step down for now; I'll let you battle later."

- Contains Koga Ninja Frog (creature). Also maybe "you" is not a name.

When both sides are glass cannons, speed is more important,

- No names.

Fee Luo Mei Lang has a base Speed of 153, whereas Koga Ninja Frog's is only 132 even after bond evolution.

- Contains Fee Luo Mei Lang (creature) and Koga Ninja Frog again.

Moreover, as a Water/Dark type, Koga Ninja Frog is weak to both Bug and Fighting types.

- Contains Koga Ninja Frog, Dark Type. Also maybe "Water Dark Type" is intended, but we treat Dark Type as Dark Type.

Truly a perfect match.

- No names.

The opponent's tactics are brutal; you'd better not go up there and get yourself killed.

- No names.

After securing Ash's promise to battle, Koga Ninja Frog happily stepped back to the trainer's bench.

- Contains Ash and Koga Ninja Frog.

But Fierce Arrow Eagle couldn't stay seated and ran out as well.

- Contains Fierce Arrow Eagle.

"Fierce Arrow~" Hey, what about me?

- Contains Fierce Arrow (maybe shorthand for Fierce Arrow Eagle).

Seeing that Ash was tough to deal with, Shana Duo glanced sideways and smirked.

- Contains Ash and Shana Duo.

"I think you two should play rock-paper-scissors, best two out of three; the winner gets to battle, that's the fairest."

- No names.

"Kuga!"

- No names.

"Fierce Arrow!"

- Contains Fierce Arrow again.

Hearing this, both creatures thought it was fair and nodded.

- No names.

But Ash, noticing Shana Duo's mischievousness, wondered what scheme she had in mind.

- Contains Ash and Shana Duo.

Everyone else also curiously watched Ash's three creatures interact, feeling intrigued and wanting to see what scheme Shana Duo had in mind.

- Contains Ash and Shana Duo.

Shana Duo gave Fierce Arrow Eagle a meaningful look, her smile barely contained.

- Contains Shana Duo and Fierce Arrow Eagle.

"Okay, I'll count 3-2-1, and you both make your move at the same time."

- No names.

"Kuga!"

- No names.

"Fierce Arrow!"

- Contains Fierce Arrow.

「321！」

- No names.

"Kuga!"

- No names.

"Fierce Arrow!"

- Contains Fierce Arrow.

The two creatures made their moves at the same time,

- No names.

Koga Ninja Frog formed a hammer with its hand,

- Contains Koga Ninja Frog.

Fierce Arrow Eagle, having only wings, could only show paper, thus winning the first round.

- Contains Fierce Arrow Eagle.

But Koga Ninja Frog wasn't stupid either; it quickly realized this from the obvious visual cue and Shana Duo's sly smile.

- Contains Koga Ninja Frog and Shana Duo.

It then threw scissors twice in a row, winning the match.

- No names.

Fierce Arrow Eagle: … I'm utterly speechless!

- Contains Fierce Arrow Eagle.

Fierce Arrow Eagle gave Shana Duo a resentful look and asked, "Just whose side are you on?"

- Contains Fierce Arrow Eagle and Shana Duo.

"Hmph!"

- No names.

He held a grudge, snorted coldly, and Fierce Arrow Eagle returned to its Poké Ball.

- Contains Fierce Arrow Eagle.

Ash's lips twitched.

- Contains Ash.

"Don't be upset, Fierce Arrow Eagle; I promised Koga Ninja Frog a turn this time, so let him battle. Next time, you'll definitely get a chance to appear."

- Contains Fierce Arrow Eagle and Koga Ninja Frog.

"Fierce Arrow~"

- Contains Fierce Arrow.

While Ash soothed Fierce Arrow Eagle, everyone who had watched the whole scene burst out laughing.

- Contains Ash and Fierce Arrow Eagle.

Looking at the Shiny Shana Duo's expression, there was a hint of astonishment and surprise.

- Contains Shana Duo (shiny).

Are you a devil?

- No names.

After laughing, seeing that Ash and Shana Duo were ready, Coco Bul'er immediately waved the flag.

- Contains Ash, Shana Duo, and Coco Bul'er.

"The battle continues, with the challenger striking first as before!"

- No names.

"Mega evolve, Shana Duo!"

- Contains Shana Duo.

Without inheriting many experts, Ash, low on HP, immediately triggered mega evolution at the outset.

- Contains Ash.

In the dazzling seven-colored light,

- No names.

Super Shana Duo's blue hair was coiled up, its ears became airplane ears, the orange antennae on its chest split in two, and its naturally hanging white dress turned into a mysterious, noble black, puffing out like a gothic lolita dress!

- Contains Shana Duo (Super).

"Seeing it again, I still think it's so beautiful~"

- No names.

"Yeah, the Shiny Shana Duo's skirt also turns black, that's really awesome!"

- Contains Shana Duo.

"Just like a princess!"

- No names.

"Super Psychic Empress is the best!!!"

- No names.

For a moment, almost everyone present was completely captivated by the charm of the super shiny Gardevoir.
