Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

At least for now, he faces no pressure in terms of commanding all the top players and champions like Cynthia.

However, many of the Pokémon he bred were limited by their own strength and could not keep up with his reactions.

I wonder if drinking the dragon tooth soup will bring any improvement...

"Miss Tsubaki, after saying so much, can you give me the Rising Dragon Badge?" Seeing that Tsubaki was still in astonishment, Ash had no choice but to remind her, "Or should our battle continue?"

"No, I lost this battle!" Xiaochun composed herself and finally admitted her defeat. "Please accept the Rising Dragon Badge."

She is now completely convinced of Xiaozhi's abilities and is very grateful that he reminded her like that.

The problem isn't with Dragonite and Kingdra, it's with my own lack of skill as a trainer!

However, she had other questions...

"Thank you." Ash finally breathed a sigh of relief as he accepted the black dragon-shaped badge. "Hmm... what's wrong?"

He looked up and found Xiaochun staring at him with a surprised expression.

"I'm just curious, with your strength, why do you still need to participate in the Alliance Conference?"

"To hone my skills along the way, to meet better partners and formidable rivals, and then to have a thrilling showdown on the grand stage..."

Ash gave a bunch of high-sounding reasons, leaving Chloe speechless.

"Of course, that's nonsense."

“You…” Xiao Chun’s face stiffened.

"Actually, I've only been in the industry for two years, and I haven't traveled enough yet. I need a reason to go out and wander around," Xiao Zhi replied casually, but his tone gradually became serious.

"And...we need to find some guys we have to defeat, but can only encounter at the conference!"

Chapter 571 A Feast of Broth, and the End of a Dream…

It's hard to believe that Ash is already getting tired of the League Tournament after only his second League.

When did it start...?

It was probably after they met the real original trio during a time warp.

Ash met Ash and his two friends, learned about Misty and Brock's original fates, and confirmed their true identities.

From that time on, Ash gradually stopped believing that challenging the League was to make up for someone's regret or to fulfill a vow.

As for Zhiye's dream, he will naturally have to realize it himself.

Xiao Zhi is just a somewhat unrelated transmigrator.

He lives in a game world that has been heavily modified into an anime, and he himself is not Ash Ketchum, but merely a protagonist in the game, experiencing mostly the scenarios within it…

However, at the start of the game, the second alternative name was chosen.

So... should I try to be more taciturn in the future, or pretend to be expressionless again?

...

Three days passed quickly. During this time, Xiao Gang kept a close eye on the soup pot, paying close attention to the changes in the Longya broth.

During this time, the Dragon Sanctuary was also becoming increasingly lively.

Ash's guests arrived one after another, including Gary, Rika, Sabrina, Bea, and Silver.

Although the information they received did not specify what they were there to do, they all immediately set off and rushed to the Dragon Clan as quickly as possible.

Even Xiao Yin, who was worried about her identity being exposed, did not break her promise.

When they arrived and learned that they would be sharing Dragon Tooth Broth, they all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Xiao Zhi said that this scene did indeed make him feel happy.

Perhaps this is the more important meaning of the journey for him.

On unknown journeys and through constant travel, seek out the treasures hidden in various places, bring them back and share them with companions who have earned your respect and truly entered your heart, so that they can always keep up with your pace.

Doing these things is much more fun than stomping noobs at the League of Legends tournament.

However, just as the guests were being settled, Yulongdu brought some unexpected news.

Of the four active Elite Four members, only Lorelei and Shiba came, which means that Kanto and Johto each sent a representative.

Neither Kikuko nor A-Ju came. Their reason was that they were worried that a large-scale gathering of the Four Heavenly Kings would easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

But Xiao Zhi knew that they actually wanted to give up.

Kikuko felt she was getting old, while Aju felt she wasn't qualified, so they both opted to defer.

Professor Oak and Ash's parents also declined the invitation, citing their unwillingness to travel far. They didn't want to take up the spot and wanted Ash to leave the items for those who needed them.

However, they were unaware that Ash had already prepared a contingency plan for this.

He had previously communicated with the management wizard, and they said that these soups could be packaged and preserved after being cooked, so that their efficacy would not be lost too much in the short term.

If they refuse to come over for soup, can't Xiaozhi just bring it to them?

Xiao Zhi has already prepared the packaging materials, and he'll make sure no one is left out... including those who aren't in Da Guan Du!

Then, at noon on the third day, the Dragon Sanctuary finally welcomed a group of distinguished guests!

Dozens of Dragonite, Dragonair, and Dratini descended over the Sanctuary, their combined power so overwhelming that even the Sanctuary's native inhabitants dared not approach!

At the same time, Mewtwo also joined forces with the ancient Alakazam, teleporting together with the ancient Dragonite, Jigglypuff, and a giant Tentacruel to the Dragon Sanctuary!

Looking at the four enormous creatures occupying the four corners of the valley, the members of the Dragon Clan were not only surprised but also secretly shocked.

Only now do they truly realize just how much power is hidden behind Ash!

It is no exaggeration to say that his power alone is comparable to... no, it surpasses the entire Kanto and Johto!

When all the guests had gathered and the midday sun was at its strongest, an extremely rich aroma, enough to make everyone's mouths water, suddenly spread throughout the entire valley!

Dragon Tooth Broth is ready!

"Roar..." *N

Ordinary humans and Pokémon only felt that the soup tasted extremely tempting, but the dragon Pokémon in the valley began to growl unconsciously, and gradually even its eyes stared wide open!

They felt an endless attraction, a call that seemed to come from their bloodline. While radiating a powerful pressure, it also guided them to feast and seize even greater power!

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi stopped dawdling and immediately decided to divide the soup among himself!

"One bowl per person, toppings of your choice, enjoy!"

"Oh!" *N

The brief announcement brought the atmosphere in the valley to its peak!

People and Pokémon gathered here, spontaneously forming long queues, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their own delicious treats.

The process didn't last long. Xiao Zhi's team had a clear division of labor: Xiao Gang and Lu Ke were in charge of serving the soup. The Dragon Clan had prepared hundreds of soup bowls of the same size in advance, so they just had to pour the soup into them.

Ash's female companions spontaneously took on the service work. They formed a team of humans and Pokémon, maintained order at the scene, and also kept an eye on everyone's condition after drinking the soup, in order to prevent any unforeseen changes.

The Pokémon Manager told Ash that anyone can drink this soup, and that it's incredibly nutritious, at least improving the basic stats of both humans and Pokémon.

As for whether any special powers can be awakened on this basis, that depends on fate.

So, all things considered, a person plus their Pokémon would need at least two bowls... and that's the bare minimum.

Some individuals who receive special attention will definitely receive a larger share.

For example, Yulongdu, Xiaochun, and Konashiba who were present each had seven servings of soup.

If you're going to play this game, play it big! Besides strengthening trainers, Ash will give six of his main trainers, including Champion-level trainers and trainers like Tsubaki who will definitely reach Champion level in the future!

This gesture undoubtedly surprised Lance, but Ash told him not to worry. After all, Ash wasn't so generous as to let the entire Lance clan come first, to the point of neglecting himself and his companions.

He got a share of all the Pokémon he had caught so far... That's right, in addition to the thirty Pokémon he had caught so far, Mewtwo, Latias, and Lillie also got a share, and even Lugia's child, Silver, was no exception!

By that calculation, he alone accounts for as many as thirty-five shares!

The remaining Blue, Lila, and Misty also received a share, as did Celebi and Latios, making it nearly thirty more shares in total.

However, Ash wasn't so generous with Gary.

This guy has caught so many Pokémon, if you were to give them all to him, you'd need a hundred bowls of soup!

Ash gave him thirteen servings of soup, one for himself and two for his main and secondary teams, leaving the rest to Ash to worry about.

However, not everyone on Ash's side took all of it. Rika, Sabrina, Bea, and Silver each took three portions... one for themselves and two for their two most important partners.

Xiao Gang had an extra portion compared to the others; besides Steelix and Ninetales, he also specially reserved one for Tyranitar.

After this period of travel, everyone had already tacitly agreed that even if Banjira and her son returned to Silver Mountain, they would not stay there.

As for the other guests, each of the Dragonite from Dragon Island naturally received a share, and the four giant beasts each received enough for ten people.

Although this is only a drop in the ocean compared to the energy within their bodies, it at least makes up for some of the losses.

However, many members of the Dragon Clan, as well as some Pokémon from the Dragon Sanctuary, voluntarily gave up the opportunity.

Most of them were middle-aged people and Pokémon who didn't like battling. They felt it was unnecessary to waste such a treasure, so they left the opportunity to children with greater potential.

This distribution not only made everyone gathered in the Dragon Sanctuary happy, but it also seemed that they had quite a bit to spare.

As everyone clinked glasses and exchanged toasts, the atmosphere in the valley gradually became more lively…
