Pokémon: Ash's Journey to Mastery

"Shota, you've really become a lot stronger. That must be due to strong special training and hard work. Otherwise, you wouldn't have become so strong in such a short time." Xiaozhi praised.

"No matter what the situation is, you can deal with it in the most correct way. This is what I learned from you, Xiaozhi," said Shota.

"Go ahead, Tapu Fin, let's become one." Xiaozhi shouted loudly, and at the same time kept thinking in his heart, become stronger, abandon distractions and concentrate on this battle. The wave power connected to Tapu Fin's wave, because of the previous experience of Greninja, the connection was very stable and deep.

Azure water and pink mist appeared on Tapu Fin's body.

"Hey, what's going on?" Xiangtai said in shock.

"Alright, Shota, let me show you our current strength, the power of the moon."

Tapu Fin condensed fairy power, a moon appeared behind him, and he condensed the energy of the moonlight and then shot out a pink energy ball.

The speed was so fast that the Lizard King had no time to react and was hit, rolling heavily on the ground several times.

"Damn, it's getting so strong. Then, use Leaf Storm."

The Lizard King roared and poured energy into his leaf-covered tail. Countless leaves wrapped around his tail and then shot out.

"snowstorm."

Tapu Fin blew out a freezing cold wind and snow from his mouth, which instantly caused the temperature on the field to drop rapidly, and blew violently towards the Lizard King.

The cold wind and snow froze the leaves one after another in an instant, thus breaking the storm. Then the wind and snow continued to hit the Lizard King.

Attacked by the wind and snow, the Lizard King shivered and hugged himself with his hands, obviously feeling very cold.

"One last romp."

"Leaf Blade."

A pink light appeared on Tapu Fin's fist, colliding with the Lizard King's green blade.

Then, before the Lizard King's other blade could chop him, he used his other fist to hit the Lizard King in the face, sending him flying.

The Lizard King fell to the ground powerlessly. After struggling for a few times, circles appeared around his eyes, and he had obviously lost his ability to fight.

"Although you lost the battle, Shota, your progress really impressed me." Xiaozhi walked towards Shota, patted his shoulder and praised him.

Although Shota lost, as a newcomer, it was not easy for him to train so many outstanding Pokémon. This was the result of his hard work and special training.

"Thank you, Xiaozhi. I will become stronger next time." Hearing Xiaozhi's words, Shota quickly put away his depressed look and said firmly.

Afterwards, Shota joins the group on their journey to visit Satoshi's gym station.

...

Some people borrowed cotton clothes from the Elf Center and walked in the snow. Xiu Lijia, wearing Fat Tianni's clothes, looked around happily.

Just then, a sharp bird cry was heard.

"Huh."

This voice attracted everyone's attention.

Looking up at the sky, I saw a big ice-blue bird before my eyes.

Elf: Frozen Bird

Strength: King of Heaven

Qualification: Level 2 God

Features: Snow Hidden

"I didn't expect to meet Articuno here. Tapu Fin is destined to be you." Xiaozhi said in surprise and then threw a Master Ball. Of course, Xiaozhi also meant to stimulate the potential of Tapu Fin by doing this.

"Use Water Spray." Xiaozhi decided to launch an attack to attract Articuno's attention and prevent it from escaping. After all, the legendary divine bird is rare.

Tapu Fin immediately obediently spit out a torrent of water from its mouth, shooting towards Articuno as fast as a cannonball.

Articuno was flying when he suddenly felt a strong stream of water coming towards him. He immediately reacted by flapping his wings and dodged the attack of the water. His attention was also drawn to it, and his sharp eyes swept to the ground, and he soon noticed Satoshi and his group.

"Okay, let's go all out from now on." Xiaozhi mobilized the power of wave to connect with Tapu Fin. After all, Tapu Fin, who was only level 55, could not compete with Articuno, who was over level 70, so he could only rely on the wave connection.

Azure water and pink mist appeared on Tapu Fin's body, and at the same time, its strength slowly increased and its appearance also changed.

"The power of the moon."

A crescent moon appeared behind Tapu Fin, and then it absorbed the energy of the moonlight and fired a pink energy ball.

Articuno spits out an ice-blue beam to cancel out the pink energy ball.

Then Articuno used freeze-drying, using its graceful wings to create extremely cold air currents, which instantly froze the surrounding air and formed a lot of ice.

"Get out of the way quickly." Xiaozhi felt bad when he saw this attack. The skill of freeze-drying has a restraining effect even on water-type enemies. There was already a gap in strength, and being hit by this skill would be very disadvantageous for the subsequent battles.

Tapu Fin Fin hurriedly dodged, quickly avoiding the cold air current. When the cold air current hit the ground, it quickly caused the ground to form thicker and colder ice. It can be seen that if Tapu Fin Fin was hit, it would not be very good.

Seeing that its attack had failed, Articuno flapped its blue wings violently, causing a strong wind to blow up. In this cold snowy ground, the wind even blew up a lot of snow, turning it into a blue and white tornado.

"Surf to protect yourself." Looking at the large-scale attack, Xiaozhi realized that Tapu Fin was difficult to dodge, so he had to use skills to deal with it.

Tapu's fins gathered the surging water energy into a huge wave. The azure blue water wave protected his body like a shield.

The cold wind and snow hit the azure waves, quickly freezing them into ice, which then broke with a snap.

However, the protective effect of the waves greatly reduced the damage caused by the wind and snow, and the remaining wind and snow hitting the Tapu fins no longer caused as much damage as at the beginning.

But even so, Xiaozhi, who is one with Tapu Fin, feels uncomfortable and cold all over.

"Fin." (Are you okay, Satoshi?) Tapu Fin was in a state of oneness with Satoshi and could know Satoshi's condition, so he turned around and said with concern.

"It's okay, let's continue fighting." Xiaozhi shook his head and said firmly. Although the Articuno in front of him was very powerful, it was precisely because of this that the potential of Tapu Fin was stimulated to achieve a breakthrough.

A truly strong person must have a strong will to never bow to fate. Even if it is God's will, he must break it. This means being a hero who never surrenders.

When you encounter a strong enemy, you must never think of giving up. Difficulties must be resolved and faced. Never surrender to the enemy and never surrender to yourself.

Tapu Fin's opponent this time is very strong, but we will never lose! Xiaozhi thought firmly in his heart, looking at Articuno with eyes full of fighting spirit.
