After separating from Manafei, Karp and the others quickly returned to their original ship by submarine, and then it took about five days or so to return from the sea to the port where they had departed.

After landing, Shipp said goodbye to his old sailors, and then left with the men of the Little Pier Circus.

However, because they used their modified bus too much before, although they are not ready to scrap this bus now, they are ready to spend money to make a special front car in the shape of a wooden boat to pull the two improved buses together, all of which is the same as them in the original book, Karp just watched them leave, and then looked at Austin and Kona beside him.

Lucario and Machado weren't going to part with Karp, but Kona's words Karp always felt like she was a little preoccupied.

"What's the matter, are you planning to go back to Snow Mountain with Principal Austin to continue your cultivation?"

Karp could see at a glance that Kona's careful thoughts were the same as when Kona looked at him, and both sides had a very clear grasp of each other's emotions.

Now that Karp had made his words clear, Kona nodded at Karp.

"Originally, I thought that my current strength would be enough, so after the teacher said that I would participate in the final trial, I walked out naturally, but after seeing you again, I found that my strength was really too poor."

Karp wanted to say something at Kona's words, but Kona did before he could speak.

"You're going to be the champion of the city at the end of this year at the earliest, or early next year at the latest—if you don't have the strength to become the Four Heavenly Kings, then our trip will probably end at that time.

So before I defeat Wataru, I'll set a small goal with you. ”

As he spoke, Kona ruffled the hair from her ear and looked up at Karp, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"When you become a champion, I'll try to grab the position of Ice King under you."

Listening to Kona's words, Karp was about to say something but he swallowed it back, and looking at Kona's eyes, he knew that Kona had made a decision, so at this time, he nodded to the woman in front of him, just like Kona, who would respect his ideas every time.

"Well, let's do it together."

After Karp and Kona finished talking, he watched the backs of Kona and Austin leaving, and then the moment they completely disappeared from his sight, he took out the illustrated book directly from his waist.

Lucario and Marcado had wanted to comfort Karp when they saw Karp and Kona separate, but after seeing Karp recover quickly, they came to his side and looked at the picture shown on the illustrated book with him.

Karp was not disgusted by Lucario and Machado's actions, but after giving them their place, he began to look at the date on the illustrated book to calculate his next time.

Now he still has 7,000 points and more than 50,000 energy points.

Among the twenty-sixth round of rewards that he has not drawn so far, in addition to the box of top-level energy cubes that he does not plan to use for the time being, the remaining two skill machines are Overspeed Regeneration and Seeing and Hearing Domineering.

These two tricks he basically plans to use for Kirbymon, and in addition to this, the elves in his hands are basically formed, compared to collecting more energy points to let the elves obtain more abilities, Karp looks at his two Eevees now more of an idea is to find a place for his elves to digest the harvest of this time, and by the way, let the two Eevees train for a period of time, first give full play to their talents, and let them officially enter the sequence of the king.

After all, the Championship Challenge will start at the end of the year at the earliest, and if they haven't reached the king level yet, maybe Cap will have to ask Lucario or Machado to help him participate in the battle as his sixth elf.

If he spoke, Lucario and Machado would definitely not refuse him, and he could even go to the Sara Gym again through the black cavity to find the old man and get a piece of Lucario's MEGA Evolution Stone to help Lucario complete the MEGA evolution.

After all, the power of the keystone can allow multiple elves to carry out mega evolution, even if only one elf can be mega at a time, in the formal battle, all the elves with mega ability can be mega evolved, and the most that can limit them is Karp's physical strength, but with the power of Changpan with the recovery nature of the Joey clan, he doesn't care much about the consumption of physical strength, at least according to the amount of physical energy consumption of Geng Ghost when he evolves, Even if he let him enter the mega state in turn, it is not impossible for him to do it, not to mention that even if Lucario is counted, there may only be three elves in his team who can evolve mega.

However, after all, the two Ievees are the elves that Karp has cultivated all the way to the present, if it weren't for the fact that the situation really didn't allow him, he wouldn't let the two Ievees sit on the cold bench in the important championship match, and he would at least send one of the two Ievees to the court, so he had to do some special training for the two Ievees before the championship battle.

But before the special training, he still had to go to the mine where Ash was, after all, according to what the old man of the Sora Gym said, the last of his Big Steel Snake's Mega Evolution Stone was taken away, so he didn't have the Big Steel Snake's Mega Evolution Stone there for the time being, so Karp was going to ask Ash if he had any channels or news to get the Big Steel Snake's Mega Evolution Stone.

After calculating the time until the end of the year, Karp took Lucario and Machado, who was hiding in his shadow, and set off towards the mine where Ash was.

……

The mine where the ash is located is in the Kanto area, so Karp came to the main entrance of the mine the next day.

When he arrived here, Karp didn't go directly into the mine, but spread his spiritual power out, and directly found the location of the ash at the bottom of the mine. Now that he has the superpower LV2 and the power of waveguide LV3, it is not particularly complicated for him to find and contact Ash.

'I'm here to ask you for something, do you have time?' ’

As Karp passed on the voice of the past, Ash, a trainer who also had some special means at his disposal, quickly responded to Karp.

'There's nothing going on with me here, and I happen to have something to do with you, so come in.' ’

Karp was also stunned for a moment after getting Ash's response, he didn't expect Ash to find him and have something to do. But Ash had taught him a lot of things, so he didn't mean to shirk if he needed help, and walked directly down the main entrance of the mine towards the underground city where Ash lived.

At this time, Ash in the underground city also opened his eyes, and casually took a box containing the big steel snake mega evolution stone from the side.

"Fortunately, when I went to the Sora Gym before, there was still a big steel snake's mega evolution stone left there - Kapuna kid is estimated to be the champion at the end of the year, I hope this thing can help him."
