He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4382 Battle Against an Acquaintance in the Frontier Zone

The next morning, Xiaozhi went to the south shore of Yaya Lake as agreed.

Hep and Mary also took a rare two-hour break to relax and came over to watch.

The feeling of leveling up and becoming stronger is indeed very satisfying.

But even if I don't do anything right now, my head is still throbbing.

Not to mention that Darkrai is still floating behind them right now, under immense pressure!

Well, let's watch a great match, get some rest, and ideally play for five or six days straight!

The three walked along the shore of Yaya Lake when a Doronbaluto suddenly appeared in the middle of the lake, looking around curiously. Several Doronmesias were also peeking out beside it.

However, the open field today is not quite the same as usual.

They had just reached the middle of the lake when they saw something suddenly appear in front of them—

It was a magnificent, dark blue pyramid, standing quietly on the open ground at the junction of Lake Yaya and the southern side of Lake Minas.

It is huge and has sharp edges, making it quite eye-catching.

"Hmm? This wasn't here when I was jogging past here yesterday, was it?"

Hep stopped in his tracks, looking surprised.

"What a huge pyramid!"

Mary was also completely taken aback.

Ash didn't reply, but frowned and stared at the pyramid for a few moments, finding it increasingly familiar.

It seems to be the Battle Pyramid in the Hoenn Battle Frontier, right?

Despite its appearance as a magnificent structure built entirely on the ground, the pyramid's four corners can actually expand outwards, transforming into a turbine-like structure that supports the entire pyramid as it soars into the sky.

It transforms directly into an exaggeratedly giant pyramid-shaped flying machine!

It's not surprising that they suddenly appeared here overnight.

"Since the battle pyramid is here, then..."

Xiao Zhi's heart tightened, and he quickly quickened his pace.

The entrance to the Battle Pyramid faces the middle of two lakes, and at this moment, three figures are already standing at the entrance.

Two of them were old acquaintances!

"Hey, Ash, long time no see!"

The fat man standing in the middle was the first to wave with a grin.

He was wearing a flashy floral shirt, had curly hair, and sunglasses, looking like he was on vacation.

It's none other than Ashida, the developer and owner of the Hoenn Battle Frontier!

"Mr. Ashida!"

Ash's eyes lit up, and after responding, he turned to the cold, hard figure beside him.

"And Mr. Kamishiro! It's been a long time!"

The middle-aged man standing on the far right crossed his arms and was still wearing that green outdoor work uniform.

His face was stern, and his demeanor was like that of an explorer who had spent years traversing ruins and ancient secret realms, rarely smiling.

However, upon seeing Ash, Shinobu raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled softly:

"The boy with Pikachu, it's been quite a while since I've seen him."

Hep and Mary looked at each other in bewilderment from behind.

They didn't recognize the other two, but Mr. Kamishiro was a very famous trainer.

It's rumored that he possesses multiple legendary Pokémon, and is so powerful that he can defeat the Elite Four members and even rival the Champion?!

Ash's gaze quickly fell on the far left of the three.

My opponent today is a boy in the League Card. Judging from his face, he does look to be only about ten years old.

Then, his gaze unconsciously shifted downwards, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

It's not that the League of Legends card photoshopped; the legs really are that long!

As a social butterfly, Ashida naturally stood happily in the middle.

"Haha, let me introduce myself."

"This is our current star trainer in the Battle Frontier, Mirat!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ash, his expression shining behind his sunglasses. "Ash, don't let his young age fool you, he's incredibly strong! He's already conquered the Battle Frontier!"

Upon hearing this, Ash subconsciously glanced at Age of Gods and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

Does that mean you've already defeated Mr. Kamishiro?

It seems Mr. Ashida has discovered another great trainer. He did the same thing back then, and then used his amazing battle footage to promote the Battle Frontier.

The results were quite successful; now even people from other places know about this place.

In contrast, the Battle Frontier in the Sinnoh region received little publicity and was largely ignored.

Mirat must be the trainer that Mr. Ashida recently discovered.

"."

Kamishiro did not refute this.

Although he rarely sent out the three Legendary Titans to battle after returning from Snowpeak City in the Sinnoh region.

"Hello, I'm Xiaozhi."

So Ash stepped forward and introduced his two friends:

"These two are Mary and Hep, both my friends. They're here to watch the game today."

Of course, there was also Darkrai, the Nightmare God, behind Ash, which made Ash a little scared.

He quickly pushed up his sunglasses, thinking to himself that Ash always seemed to have some amazing Pokémon by his side every time they met.

Mirat couldn't help but glance at Darkrai a few more times before quickly looking away, his expression turning serious.

"Xiao Zhi, I've heard so much about you."

"I hope we can have a great match today!"

Ashida glanced sideways at him.

That's unusual; Mirat usually likes to mock people.

His commands and speech during battles are also quite unconventional.

Today, he was surprisingly well-behaved.

He chuckled to himself, thinking, "That's right."

After all, the opponent is Ash, whose name is very well-known in the Hoenn region and the Battle Frontier.

Even Master Mikkelsen is going head-to-head with him!

Yashida quickly explained the current situation, such as how the Battle Pyramid was brought over as well.

"Kamidai is planning to come to the Galar region soon to study the legends and history of the Pillar Giants here."

"Mirat and I just hitched a ride along the way, so we came together."

"God pillar giant?"

Ash blinked and said he was referring to the three legendary Pokémon, as well as Regirock, Regidra, and Regigigas, and the whole series of legendary Pokémon.

Mary and Hop looked bewildered.

Do they still have legends of the Titans in the Galar region?

Clearly, they were not familiar with this legend.

"It's not here."

Kamishiro began to explain, his voice calm and serious.

"To be precise, it's in the Crown Snowfield in the southern part of the Galar region. I heard there are ancient ruins there related to the Divine Pillar Giants, so I came to study them."

The historical legends of the Crown Snowfield are all very hidden and obscure.

Although both belong to the Galar region, the Galar people on the main continent generally do not know much about the legends of this region.

He figured he'd be staying for quite a while, so he brought the entire Battle Pyramid with him.

Of course, you can also catch a glimpse of Ash and Mirana's battle along the way—

He was also eager to see just how strong Ash was at the moment! (End of Chapter)
