"Mach Punch!"
An Infernape, with an unceasing flame atop its head, its body primarily reddish-brown with white fur on its head, chest, shins, and feet, was currently swinging its fist.
It transformed into a red blur, flashing past in an instant, heading straight for Charizard's cheek.
Facing Infernape's preemptive strike, Charizard, relying on its powerful strength, took the hit directly with its face, yet it seemed completely unharmed, a disdainful smile even appearing at the corner of its mouth.
"No, Infernape, quickly pull back!" The opponent finally realized something was wrong and urgently called out a warning.
Infernape reacted immediately, but it was already too late.
"Dragon Claw!"
Charizard's fist uncurled into a claw, its surface enveloped in a Dragon energy, accompanied by a powerful oppressive Aura sweeping across the land.
It flapped its dragon wings at low altitude, lunging towards the retreating Infernape, and the ground it flew over immediately kicked up a storm of dust and stones due to Charizard's speed.
"Roar~"
Looking at Infernape, now within arm's reach, Charizard's mouth once again curved into a sneering smile.
It extended its massive energy Dragon Claw, directly gripping Infernape's entire body in its hand, causing the latter immense pain.
"Alright, finish it with Dragon Tail!" Ash, witnessing Charizard's somewhat violent temper, spoke directly, telling the Pokémon to be careful.
"Roar~"
Charizard still gave Ash a lot of face.
It gently released Infernape from its Dragon Claw, then its tail was once again covered in a layer of Dragon energy, and it performed a 360-degree flip in mid-air.
A powerful tail whip struck Infernape squarely in the face, instantly sending it flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the ground, its eyes swirling indicating it had lost its ability to battle.
"Truly young and promising!" The three Trainers who had successively lost said helplessly.
Three people couldn't defeat one, which was truly humiliating, so they merely offered a compliment, shook hands in a friendly manner, and then quickly departed.
"This Charizard is so strong too!" Seeing the trio leave, Dawn excitedly ran up to Charizard and began stroking its body.
"Roar~"
This instantly made Charizard uncomfortable, a prominent 'well' symbol appearing on its face (indicating annoyance).
Unfortunately, Charizard had already been warned by Pikachu that this might be its future mistress, so it didn't dare to offend her casually.
It could only stand there quietly, allowing the other party to freely stroke its strong body.
"I didn't expect Charizard to be back too!" Brock stroked his chin, a bit surprised.
Hadn't Ash just recently swapped for the Corphish and Kingler combination?
It had only been a few days, and he had already swapped other Pokémon back?
While it was necessary to constantly train new and old Pokémon, the frequency shouldn't be so fast!
"Wow!" Suddenly, Dawn seemed to have seen something incredible, letting out an astonished cry: "Even Charizard has a mega stone!"
Looking up at the colorful gem on Charizard's neck, Dawn couldn't help but exclaim, then looked at Ash with even greater envy.
Because this was already his third Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, while she didn't have even one, which was truly disappointing.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely encounter one in the future!"
Looking at the quite disappointed girl, Ash smiled and comforted her.
The reason he left the Audino's Pokémon Egg for Dawn was to fulfill a long-cherished wish of hers.
After all, they were on the same side; it was better to keep good things within the family!
As long as the bond between them reached a certain level, he would proactively give the evolution key and mega stone to the girl.
Consider it one of the few gifts he would give her.
"I hope so!" Dawn nodded helplessly, but didn't take it to heart.
Because her Buneary refused to evolve, finding a suitable Pokémon for her was harder than climbing to the heavens.
"Although I don't know what you're talking about, if you're feeling troubled, there's a good place to relieve your worries!"
Alice, the blonde Big Sister who had been an outsider, proactively suggested, then led Ash and the other two, who had finished their battle, to a beautiful secret garden.
As an ancient poem goes: withered vines, old trees, evening crows; small bridges, flowing water, and homes.
Although this place only possessed the three elements of small bridges, flowing water, and homes from the poem, its scenic beauty far surpassed them.
Because a large number of wild Pokémon had been added here.
You could see two comfortable little cats—Shinx and Luxio—leisurely exposing their bellies and stretching their bodies, while young Dragon Slayers were playing in the nearby pond.
Diligent Combee were collecting honey from the flowers on the water and sharing it with their companions like Starly, Budew, and Shellos.
Because Pokémon were incorporated here, the beautiful environment and the small, adorable Pokémon intertwined, showcasing a scene of harmonious coexistence.
Even Dawn and Brock couldn't help but release their Pokémon, allowing them to play to their hearts' content.
"Huh! Ash, why did you only release Chansey?" Dawn, her face once again full of joy, asked curiously.
"Because they aren't suitable to be released here!"
The five Poké Balls he was stroking contained large Pokémon, and considering some reasons, he didn't release them.
He only released Chansey, which was temporarily staying with Brock, to play for a while.
"Large Pokémon?"
Dawn repeated the phrase, not understanding, and the girl could only direct her gaze back to the many Pokémon.
Only the thoughtful Brock and the distracted Ash remained beside her.
"Speaking of which, this should be that garden, but why don't I feel its Aura?"
As is well known, in Baiyang Town, besides facing the impending Time-Space Dual Gods, there was also the nightmare god Darkrai, a formidable character hidden here.
As a legendary Pokémon that had captivated countless fans, Darkrai's performance could be described as legendary in the future battle.
Despite being a secondary legendary, it had already displayed power beyond the scope of a secondary legendary, temporarily controlling Dialga and Palkia.
And in the end, it emerged unscathed, successfully protecting the garden it cherished.
A character of few words but fierce actions, it firmly captivated a portion of Pokémon fans.
Unfortunately, he hadn't sensed its Aura, so it seemed it wasn't here for now.
"Piplup~ Piplup~ Piplup~"
"Meow~"
"Luxio~"
...
Before Ash could think much more, the sounds of Piplup and other Pokémon arguing reached him.
"Everyone, stop arguing!" Dawn looked quite troubled, because this time, Piplup and Pachirisu were in the wrong.
Moreover, the three recently hatched Nurse Joy's Pokémon babies kindly tried to mediate, but because they were still young and small, no Pokémon would listen.
They immediately started crying pitifully, attracting caring Pokémon like Pikachu, Buneary, and Pachirisu.
The situation quickly escalated.
"Ring—"
Until a melodious whistle, accompanied by a unique and gentle melody, drifted into the hearts of the many Pokémon and the three humans.
A peaceful state of mind involuntarily surged from within, and this dramatic quarrel dissipated in an equally dramatic fashion.
