Of course, Lance was relatively better off. Professor Oak, standing on the friends and family platform, had a blank stare and was breathing heavily, as if he was about to rush onto the field and dissect all of Ash's Pokémon.
Beside Lance, a high-ranking member of the Pokémon League, after a brief silence, forcibly suppressed his shock, turned to stare at Lance beside him, and asked a question.
"You mean... this Mr. Ash is now the top Pokémon expert of the younger generation?"

Chapter 304 Ash: I'll bet everything I have as a trainer... Ho-Oh, I will save you! (Third update)
"It's not just the younger generation." Dragon Envoy Watari didn't hold back his praise.
"Based on the Pokémon team he showed before, if given another year to grow and evolve all his Pokémon to their final forms, I suspect he could rival the Kanto Elite Four!"
The league's top officials were clearly shocked; their hands were trembling.
You should know... Wataru is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, but he is definitely qualified to compete for the championship in other regions.
In other words, Ash might already be on par with the Elite Four members from other regions! This is a Pokémon trainer who just started training this year, isn't he cheating?
So, you're expecting to be on par with the Elite Four in your first year, become a champion in your second, and what will you be doing in your third? Are you planning to snipe at the top-ranking legendary beasts?
However, the federal official then recalled the scene of Charizard unleashing various water-based ninjutsu, and his lips twitched.
Well, that's normal... If Charizard can unleash so many incredibly powerful water-type abilities, what else in this world is impossible?
But just as the final battle was about to begin, a sharp cry rang out from the sky, and seven-colored flames fell from the heavens.
"Hmm?" Ash's expression turned serious in an instant; his Observation Haki had sensed something. Pikachu on his shoulder also bristled, and its electric sacs flickered with electricity.
The clouds were torn apart, and a terrifying entity plummeted from the sky—it was the Phoenix King…
She was covered in blood, with an indestructible flame burning within her, but she looked extremely exhausted and barely made it onto the battlefield.
A cold, sharp cry rang out, and several other divine beasts appeared in the sky: the all-black Phoenix King and the all-black Lugia. They exuded an ominous aura and swooped down from the sky, their killing intent palpable.
"Oh no." Ash's expression turned serious. He gently patted the five Pokémon behind him, and beams of light rose up, transforming them into fully formed Pokémon.
"Charizard Dragon... Your self-power limit has been lifted! I allow you to use your most proficient Fire Release ninjutsu and unleash your full power."
Charizard's eyes lit up instantly, and the flames on its tail expanded dramatically. With a whoosh, it soared into the sky, its hands forming hand seals. The unique chakra of the Nine-Tails spread across its body, transforming into the Tailcloth, from which terrifying flames erupted.
The dark-colored Ho-Oh also flapped its wings, unleashing a burst of black flames that clashed head-on with Great Fire Extinguisher, but to no avail. However, just as the black flames were about to engulf Charizard, a Dragonite swiftly grabbed it and withdrew from the attack.
With great difficulty, Ho-Oh got up, let out a sharp cry, and spewed out seven-colored holy fire from her mouth, barely managing to block the dark flames falling from the sky.
The scene was chaotic, with all sorts of Pokémon being summoned and fleeing at top speed.
"This is a huge problem." Ash said urgently, scanning the scene before his expression hardening. "Pikachu, enter Lightning Chakra Mode! Use both the strongest blade, One-Hit Fist, and the strongest shield, Lightning Chakra Armor."
"Bulbasaur, use Wood Release... not for attacking, do you think you're the First Hokage? Okay, I know you don't understand... your Wood Release attack power isn't strong, but its support capabilities are extremely strong. Go help everyone here and get them to move away as quickly as possible."
"Pidgeo, use Armament Haki to strengthen your body, use Observation Haki to spy on the opponent's movements, and use your Steel Wings to perform Tai Chi sword techniques. I know you can't beat the opponent, so just focus on entanglement."
"Squirtle, team up with Charizard in a second! Use Oil Release as much as you can... I know you don't like using that stuff. But there's no other way now. The two of you together can unleash your strongest fighting power. Charizard alone can't stop you!"
"Scyther... Enhance with Armament Haki, then use the first question of the Eight Questions of the Heavenly Blade! Even if you can't perform the next seven questions, I believe that even if you only try once, if you develop to your peak, you will be able to cut through heaven and earth... Just like I said before, let's challenge the divine beasts!"
The battlefield was incredibly vast, and even with Ash using all his Pokémon, he couldn't stop the two dark legendary beasts descending from the sky. Fortunately, Ho-Oh was there to lend a hand, and Lance and Professor Oak also unleashed their Pokémon.
"This is terrifying." Lance, riding on his Dragonite, sped across the battlefield, teaming up with Pidgeot to hold off Dark Lugia. The more the battle progressed, the more shocked he became.
That's terrifying! This boy named Ash didn't even use his full strength just now. Scyther even shed several metal chunks from its body, smashing them to the ground and kicking up a huge cloud of dust... How the hell did you train like that?!
As Wataru watched, a chill ran down his spine... He felt that even if he were to go up against the wall in a six-on-six Pokémon final... his chances of winning would only be around 70%.
He looks very tall, but he is the invincible Dragon Messenger, while the person opposite him is just a newbie from Pallet Town.
“Professor Oak,” Watanabe quickly gave the order, his mind racing, “as expected of the person you chose… if he can truly grow up, he might become another champion in the Kanto Crown District with undeniable strength.”
Professor Oak approached Ash with a serious expression. His gaze swept over Ash's many Pokémon, and unlike his usual casual demeanor, he spoke in a low, childlike voice, "It seems you've been hiding a lot from me..."
"Professor." Ash scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then, after realizing what he had said, he said angrily, "I didn't hide anything from you... I didn't deliberately avoid you when I was training them."
“Yes, but I thought you were just training aimlessly.” Professor Oak’s lips twitched. He walked to the side and looked at Ho-Oh, which was being slowly healed by Chansey. “I never expected that… Ho-Oh, which has always been wary of humans, would actually ask humans for help.”
"No...maybe it's because of you, Ash. After all, you saw Ho-Oh as soon as you left Pallet Town...it was just a guess before, but now it's confirmed. You must be the child chosen by the legendary Pokémon...favored by them."
Ho-Oh's expression remained calm. She didn't look at Professor Oak, but stared intently at Ash, using telepathy. "I can't fight... There's more than one god who embodies darkness. If I attract them... it'll all be over. Everyone and every Pokémon who has helped me will die."
"I understand." Ash nodded seriously and said in a low voice, "Charizard, take Ho-Oh and retreat."
He gripped his hat tightly, turned the brim back to look at the sky, and said in a resolute voice, "I'll risk everything as a trainer... Ho-Oh, I will save you! No matter what kind of enemy we face."

Chapter 305 Number Ten: This version of Ash almost made me think I was seeing Red (Fourth update)
Facing the legendary Pokémon, this battle was undoubtedly a crushing defeat. Ash, Lance, and Professor Oak who didn't bring all his Pokémon... the final result was the same.
Because those two divine beasts were already among the top-tier divine beasts, and after turning to darkness... their combat power seemed to have increased considerably.
Lance's four Pokémon lost all their battle power, Ash's three Pokémon lost all their battle power, and Professor Oak's three Pokémon all lost their battle power...
