Pokémon: Newborn Ash Ketchum, starting from Hoenn

The next day after school, Xiaozhi rode on Latias, who had transformed back to his true form, and followed Kachi all the way to Akala Island.

After yesterday's big test, Mr. Hala specially held a grand celebration party for Xiaozhi that night. Facing everyone's doubts, Xiaozhi immediately explained that this was a special ability related to Z moves.

Hearing this, Kachi immediately became excited and challenged Xiaozhi without hesitation, but it was already late, so he postponed it to tomorrow. However, there was a full day of classes tomorrow, and Kachi had to go home to help, so he finally decided to invite Xiaozhi to his home.

Xiaozhi gladly accepted the invitation and decided to take Latias with him to Kachi's house.

Akala Island is an island located in the northeast of the Alola region. The patron saint of this island is Tapu Chou Chou!

There is also a magnificent volcano here called Wera Volcano. It often spews out high-temperature gases, but not magma. It is its existence that makes the land here very fertile and very suitable for ranching!

Kachi's family runs a ranch, and they often produce high-quality Moo Moo milk, which Kachi delivers to the people who place orders every day while riding his Charizard.

"Kachi, your ranch is really big!"

Landing directly on Kachi's farm, Latias turned into a Canon and stood obediently beside Xiaozhi.

Kachi's parents heard the noise and came out with warm smiles on their faces. "Alola, Xiaozhi, welcome to our home!"

Kachi's father is named Xibu and his mother is named Amara. Both of them are cheerful and generous people. They warmly welcome Xiaozhi's arrival.

"Alola, uncle and aunt, please take care of me!" Xiaozhi said, and introduced Pokémon such as Latias to them.

Kachi's sister Xing'er also ran over and looked at Xiaozhi with sparkling eyes, "Alola, Xiaozhi, my name is Xing'er, and I often mention you!"

Xiaozhi gently touched Xing'er's head: "Alola, Xing'er, it's nice to meet you!"

The ranch is very large, and Kachi has to help with housework before and after school every day, which is why he is always busy.

But today, with Xiaozhi's help, they completed all the work quickly.

Of course, from helping out today, Xiaozhi also discovered that Kachi is actually a sister-con. He just helped to move something, but Kachi hurriedly grabbed it for fear that Xing'er would bump into it. However, this also made Xiaozhi understand Kachi a little more. He felt that such a brother was very cute and responsible.

The Kachi family also treated Xiaozhi warmly. Not only did they provide him with various dairy products and meals, but even the dessert after the meal was ice cream made from their Moo Moo fresh milk!

After dinner, Kachi could no longer contain his excitement and looked at Xiaozhi impatiently. Since they first met, he had been eager to have a real duel with Xiaozhi, but he had never been able to do so. Now that he finally had this opportunity, how could Kachi not be excited?

Xiaozhi smiled and responded: "Come on, Kachi! Let me show you the fire Pokémon in my hand!"

Xiaozhi knows a lot about Kawhi. After all, he loves fighting just like Xiaozhi! He is the strongest student in the current Pokémon School. Not only that, Kawhi's grandfather was the previous king of Akala Island, but he has passed away.

However, the Z bracelet and Charizard on Kage's wrist were left to him by his grandfather. Yes, it is the Charizard that Kage usually rides, and its strength is even stronger than Kage's Infernape!

Afterwards, they came to the center of an empty venue together. Latias served as the referee of this battle, and the audience were Pikachu and Kachi's sister Xing'er.

Xiaozhi shouted to Hoopa, "Hoopa, send out Flame Lion!"

"Got it!" Hoopa smiled and opened the halo.

Then, a roar that shook the world sounded. A flaming lion full of kingly aura leaped out from the halo, emitting blazing heat and showing unparalleled fighting spirit.

This is exactly the opponent that Xiaozhi specially prepared for Kage - Infernape. It has just broken through the peak of the gym, but it is more than enough to fight against Kage.

"I'm so touched, it's Infernape!" Kachi shouted excitedly, with a gleam in his eyes. Then he quickly took out a Poké Ball from his waist and held it tightly in his hand.

Kachi took a deep breath, his eyes firm and focused, and then he gently threw the Poké Ball: "Be careful, the opponent this time is not easy! Go, Tortoisemon!"

"Use Jet Flame!" Kachi ordered Infernape to attack without hesitation.

The Exploding Flame Turtle roared, and scorching flames shot out from its tubular dragon mouth, turning into a pillar of fire that rushed towards the Flame Lion.

Seeing this, Xiaozhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile: "We also use jet flames here!"

As his voice fell, a boiling flame instantly condensed in the mouth of the Fire Lion, and with a roar, it turned into a hot column of fire that gushed out. This column of fire was like a volcanic eruption, and with endless power, it collided with the jet of flames from the Exploding Flame Turtle Beast.

There was a loud bang, and the two flames met in the air, and a violent explosion occurred instantly.

The smoke spread out, covering the entire battlefield. However, in the smoke, the flames of the Fire Lion actually penetrated the flames of the Exploding Flame Turtle Beast, and with a bang, it directly knocked the Exploding Flame Turtle Beast away like a burning meteor!

You know, Xiaozhi's Infernape has the fighting spirit characteristic. When facing an opponent of the same gender, the power of its special move will be significantly improved. And as Xiaozhi's fire-type Pokémon, the power of the flames released by Infernape is even more powerful!

"Exploding Flame Turtlemon, are you okay?" Seeing Exploding Flame Turtlemon standing up again, the fire in Kachi's heart burned completely, and he shouted loudly: "So strong! But we will never give up like this! Go forward and use Dragon Tail!"

The tail behind the Exploding Tortoise began to gather dragon energy, and it rushed towards the Flame Lion without hesitation. However, its speed was obviously slower, which gave Xiaozhi enough time to react.

Xiaozhi's eyes sparkled, and he shouted, "Fire Sonic Wave!"

The Flame Lion's eyes widened with anger, and it roared, instantly transforming into red circular sound waves that shot out. These sound waves were like burning flames, with a scorching burning sensation.

This is the perfect combination of fire and loud noise, forming a powerful attack skill!

The flaming sound waves that burst out were like a powerful force that directly pushed the Exploding Flame Turtle Beast back. The dragon tail that had originally condensed behind it also shattered and dissipated because of this blow.

But Xiaozhi didn't give Kacchan and Tortoise time to react, and ordered without hesitation: "Thunder Charge!"

As his command was issued, the golden-red lightning flames on the Fire Lion were like a layer of burning armor, instantly covering its entire body. This powerful energy made the Fire Lion's body become hot and dazzling, like a burning meteor.

Then, the Flame Lion rushed forward at an astonishing speed, instantly transforming into a beam of flame and charging towards the Exploding Turtle Beast without any mercy.

Kachi's reaction was extremely quick. He knew that the power of this attack should not be underestimated. He quickly shouted, "Use the trap shell!"

After hearing the order from its master, the Exploding Tortoise immediately steadied itself, then quickly turned around and aimed its extremely hard turtle shell at the charging Flame Lion.

Just as the two were about to collide, a violent explosion sounded. The Flame Lion's Thunder Charge and the Exploding Tortoise's Trap Shell collided with each other, generating a huge impact force.

The two forces intertwined, forming a powerful shock wave that distorted the surrounding air. Under the influence of this shock wave, both the Flame Lion and the Exploding Tortoise were blown away. They rolled in the air, then fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Although the collision of that blow was powerful and caused serious damage to both sides, they did not completely lose their fighting power. When the two Pokémon stood up again, Xiaozhi did not hesitate to show the Universal Ring in his hand, which was inlaid with a Fire Z.

He shouted, "Kachi, let's use this to decide the winner!"

"Okay! Let's go, Exploding Tortoise!" Kachi's aura burned like a flame. He activated the Z-Bracelet and made the corresponding movements for Fire Z. "I will devote myself to it and go all out. All my strength will turn into a blazing flame like the Akara Mountains!"

"Super powerful ultimate explosive bomb!"

At the same time, Xiaozhi also waved his fist and shouted: "Lion, let's use all our strength! Super Extreme Flame Bomb!"

In an instant, two huge balls of boiling fire condensed above the heads of the two Pokémon, like two little suns. The surroundings suddenly became bright, and then they were thrown out together and collided violently.

However, in the end, Ash's Infernape was even more powerful, swallowing up the opponent's attack and smashing into Infernape, making it unable to continue fighting.
