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

He can't, but Xiaozhi can, so he still has a long way to go!

"Satoshi..." After much agonizing reflection, Shigeru's eyes filled with gratitude...

"Heh, you're not actually touched, are you?" Ash suddenly grinned mischievously. "Don't overthink it. The reason I arranged the lineup this way is simply because they haven't shown their faces at the convention yet... and there's still one missing from the stage."

Besides Tyranitar, which was left at Mt. Silver, Gyarados also failed to participate in the Silver Conference. This was partly because Ash had participated in too many team battles, and unfortunately, it didn't get a chance to make an appearance.

Furthermore, it does need more time to adapt to its evolved new body.

"You bastard, I won't let this go!" Xiao Mao shouted, his fur standing on end. "You just wait, I'll beat you one day!"

"Okay, I'll wait patiently~" Ash laughed and put his arm around Gary's neck, completely ignoring the latter's disgusted expression.

Seeing the champion and runner-up embracing so warmly... well, the cheers from the audience became even louder.

...

After the competition, while the organizing committee was setting up the closing ceremony, Xiao Zhi approached Xiao Lan and the others.

"Our Z-Bracelet... Why do you need to borrow this?" Blue handed the bracelet to Ash and asked, puzzled.

Cai Dou, who was standing next to her, also untied her clothes.

"I'll need it for tonight's exhibition match," Ash explained, taking the bracelet. "My battle against the Johto Elite Four doesn't require too much technical skill; just using a few powerful moves will suffice."

That night's battle was the League's way of helping Ash gain fame, and it was also a response to the recent calls from the audience.

Therefore, Ash doesn't need to play with such precision; he just needs to showcase his current power and maximize the visual effects.

"Xiao Gang, don't hide it anymore. I know Miss Lizhi sent you a bracelet not long ago. I can borrow it for a bit; it won't break." Xiao Zhi smiled and stretched out his hand to Uncle Gang.

"Okay, fine, you can have it for a bit." Xiao Gang reluctantly took out the bracelet and handed it to Xiao Zhi.

It's not that he's stingy, it's just that this thing didn't come from a very legitimate source.

Generally, the Z-Ring is obtained by trainers participating in the Island Survival Tour after successfully completing the Grand Challenge on their first attempt... but I've never heard of anyone's Grand Challenge involving remotely defeating the Island Queen!

"Four in total, that completes the set." Xiao Zhi nodded and smiled with satisfaction. "Just wait and see, tonight we'll make a cameo appearance as the Lord of the Rings."

...

"Next, we will present the tournament's winning trophy to the victor, Xiao Zhi! Please welcome Chairman Da Ma Lan Qi to present the award to the champion!"

"Ash, congratulations on winning the championship again." After the host announced the result, the white-haired Damaranchi handed the trophy to Ash.

He also whispered to Ash, "You must take the challenge match seriously later. Countless eyes are watching."

"Don't worry, I'll use all my strength to deal with Rayquaza!" Ash patted his chest and made a big promise.

"Uh, there's no need to be so serious..." The old man broke out in a cold sweat, afraid that Ash might accidentally cripple the Johto Elite Four...

By the way, there's another operation tonight, kid, you'd better take it easy~

"As is customary, the tournament champion can submit a challenge to the Four Heavenly Kings. Now, let's welcome the Four Heavenly Kings of Johto!"

The host drew everyone's attention to the high platform in the venue, where four figures stood with their hands behind their backs!

Fighter Shiba

Ninja A-Ju

Magician Ichiki

Evil Woman Pear Blossom

The Four Heavenly Kings of Johto!

"Ash, congratulations on winning the tournament!" Shiba stepped forward and announced loudly. "However, we need to correct something. In the next round, we are the challengers!"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

Ash did not exercise his right to challenge the Elite Four members at last year's Indigo League conference, which disappointed many people for a long time.

Judging from what Shiba said, it seems there will be a program this year?

"Your current strength is undeniably formidable. Even the champion himself has admitted that your power is no less than his!" Shiba continued in a deep voice. "Therefore, this time, we, the Four Heavenly Kings, are the challengers, hoping to challenge you, the strongest at the top of the league!"

"We will all give it our all, and we hope Mr. Ash will give us more guidance!" A-Ju followed up with her statement.

"Whether you can truly represent the alliance's highest combat power will be verified by me, who was once your subordinate!" Yi Shuhua made a flamboyant entrance.

"Come on, little brother, if you win, you can conquer me... but if you lose, you can only be conquered by me~" Pear Blossom licked her lips with a wicked smile.

Is this a serious move?

The audience and everyone watching the Silver Conference were now in a state of high anticipation.

No one expected that the Johto Elite Four would openly admit that they were inferior to Ash, and even take the initiative to challenge Ash at the closing ceremony of the tournament!

And judging from what they said, it's clearly a four-on-one situation!

Will Ash really accept this? And is he really capable of handling a combined attack from four Elite Four members?!

"You want to challenge me... Fine!" Ash flipped his hands, and as the three Luxury Balls flashed, Charizard, Lucario, and Alakazam made their dazzling entrance!

Add to that Pikachu, who's always been by his side, and there are exactly four of them!

"Hudi, let's go!" "Hu!"

In a flash of teleportation, Ash and his strongest partner appeared in the center of the main arena of the tournament!

The four Pokémon formed a cross around Ash, their imposing aura permeating the entire battlefield and even inspiring fear in those around them.

"Joh's Elite Four, I accept your challenge! No matter how many Pokémon you send out, my four companions and I will take them all on!!"

Chapter 607 Chaotic Battle, Four Heavenly Kings VS Bracelet King

Everyone following the progress of the Silver Conference is completely at a loss for words.

The Elite Four actually challenged the tournament champion, and Ash not only agreed, but also decided to fight against all four of them, commanding his Pokémon to defeat them!

If he can really do that, wouldn't that mean... this twelve-year-old child has already completely surpassed the Heavenly King level?

Of course, it could also be acting...

Many people had this thought, but quickly dismissed it.

A Heavenly King-level expert is second only to the champion in a region. How could they possibly disregard their own reputation just to promote a child?

Just as everyone was speculating, the Elite Four made their appearance together, each accompanied by two Pokémon.

Shiba's Machamp and Kommo-o, Aju's Crobat and Muk, Ichiju's Natu and Exeggutor, and Rika's Houndoom and Umbreon are all their signature Pokémon!

Four people and eight Pokémon surrounded Ash and his friends in the arena!

"This...the challenge match between the Elite Four and Ash Ketchum, now begins!!" Overwhelmed by the intense atmosphere, the commentator was stunned for a long time before he stammered out the start of the match.

Shiba and the others also became extremely fierce, and they launched a full-scale attack without prior agreement!

"Mighty Strength, Bullet Punch! Kommo-o! Scale Noise!"

"Crossbat, Air Slash! Grimer, Trash Shot!"

"Natural birds and coconut trees—a double dose of mental interference!"

"Houndoom, Dark Pulse! Umbreon, Sudden Attack!"

Following the four's equally matched commands, energy from all directions began to sweep wildly towards Ash's Pokémon.

"Alakazam, Psychic! Lucario, Bone Smash! Charizard, Dragon Charge! Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

Ash kept giving instructions, and despite being outnumbered, Ash and his friends fought methodically and managed to create a stalemate with the Elite Four!

Alakazam first spread its psychic ripples outwards, delaying all its attacks before focusing all its efforts on fighting against Ichiju's two Psychic-type Pokémon.

Pikachu immediately sensed the attack intentions of the two Dark-type Pokémon. While using its tail to force Umbreon back, it generated an electric arc to neutralize Houndoom's attack.

In another area, Charizard used Dragon Charge to push Machamp back to its original position, which happened to bump into Kommo-o, who was shouting incessantly. It couldn't hold back and started fighting with the other.

Lucario also spun his Energy Bone Staff, easily blocking all of Kiku's attacks.

"Switch positions, begin the counterattack! Alakazam, Psychic Terrain, Wide Area of ​​Effect! Pikachu, Fly! Lucario, Aura Sphere! Charizard, Blaze!"

After successfully withstanding the first wave of attacks, Ash immediately commanded his four Pokémon to switch positions, catching his opponents completely off guard!

Alakazam unleashed its full psychic power, and A-Ju's two Poison-type ...

Pikachu also activated its flight mode at the same time, flying around and constantly engaging in a fierce battle with Shiba's two.

Rinka's Dark-type Pokémon were met with a powerful counterattack from Lucario, and both Houndoom and Umbreon were severely injured;

The last tree was caught off guard and was hit squarely by the old man's ultimate attack!

On the entire battlefield, fire, thunder, and all sorts of energies intertwined, captivating everyone's attention.

No one expected the situation to develop this way. Ash actually managed to fight against the Elite Four with fewer troops... and gradually gained the upper hand!

Thanks to Alakazam's psychic abilities, Ash's friends can easily switch positions on the field. After the previous round of attacks, Pikachu and the other three immediately switched positions, using their respective strengths to wear down their opponents.

For example, A-Jie, he mainly suffers attacks from Alakazam, but every time he tries to attack, he finds that Lucario is always blocking his path!

Ash's Lucario is no longer what it used to be, and although A-Gi-Oh's Pokémon possesses the Elite Four-level Poison, it can no longer affect it!

Meanwhile, Pikachu roamed around at incredible speed, and Shiba had no idea when that yellow rat would fly down and kick him!

As time went on, Ash, who was clearly outnumbered, surprisingly began to turn defense into offense, using his four Pokémon to overwhelm the Elite Four.
