Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

Shinji was almost laughing in anger; he was a defeated opponent!

I only got one favor from someone in the competition, is it necessary to hold a grudge for so long!

Before this, my win rate against you was 100%!

"Don't worry about the details," Xiao Zhi said with a smile, waving his hand.

Ash was still very happy to see Shinji.

"How have you been lately? Did you win the championship?" As he spoke, Ash subtly showed off the water gun racing championship trophy he had just won.

Shinji's fist hardened.

What's wrong with this guy?!

They were so passionate back in Sinnoh, why are they so infuriating now!

"I didn't win the championship, but I'm already preparing to become Mr. Kamishiro's apprentice. If nothing unexpected happens, I will take over Mr. Kamishiro's class in the future."

Shinji calmed himself down and said.

"Will you fight Mr. Kamishiro of the Pyramid? He's also one of my defeated opponents. Although Regice is quite strong, I'm still the better one."

Shinji was completely speechless!

You little brat (a husky, GPJ!)

Watching the two bickering incessantly, Xiaochun's smile widened even more.

It seems that I am worrying too much.

Ash's partners aren't all girls in every region!

After saying goodbye to Shinji, Ash and Haru boarded a plane back to Vermilion City.

The original plan was to return to Galar.

As a result, Dr. Sakuragi made an extremely urgent phone call.

"Ash, come quick! Ho-Oh has appeared!"

[Kamidai: Why! Why am I just a background character?!]

[Da Ye: Don't cry, Mr. Kamishiro, I'm just a background character too, aren't I?]

[Daigo: Speaking of which, Mr. Kamishiro and Shinji really look alike.]

[Shiba: Did Daigo, the champion, notice too? I was just about to say that; looking at them, I thought they were father and son.]

[Raiji: Don't talk nonsense. Shinji and I have absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Kamishiro.]

[Cynthia: Regice, I never expected Ash to be able to defeat Regice. Does Ash also have the power to defeat a god?]

As a mythology scholar, Cynthia has the best understanding of the battle strength of various legendary Pokémon.

Regice is one of the three legendary Pokémon created by Regigigas in the Iceberg Pokémon Legends.

Mr. Kamishiro is a well-known sage in the Hoenn region.

Both of these two teams actually lost to Ash.

Cynthia became even more curious about Ash.

……

In the picture—

Upon returning to Konoha City, the two went straight back to Sakuragi Research Lab.

Upon seeing Koharu, Dr. Sakuragi immediately showered her with concern and care.

It basically only takes a few days.

He was very upset about his daughter, who had always been by his side, suddenly leaving.

Especially with his daughter by his side, there is also a very cheerful and sunny Xiao Zhi.

As a father figure, Dr. Sakuragi was genuinely a little panicked.

This is why he wanted to call the two of them back every now and then.

"Professor Sakuragi, have you really found any trace of Ho-Oh?" Ash doesn't care about such nonsense.

Upon meeting Professor Sakuragi, he immediately asked the question that concerned him most.

This is Ho-Oh, Ash himself has only seen it a few times.

"Yes, I heard it was an old man who found it. Look, I even have photos here."

With that, Dr. Sakuragi reluctantly released his hold on Haru.

He took out his Rotom phone and retrieved a picture from it.

Xiao Zhi took it and glanced at it.

Instantly, Ash's brows furrowed.

Well, it's hard to say.

Perhaps others didn't notice anything amiss.

After all, it was just a shadow in the sky.

Ash, who had actually seen Ho-Oh, immediately recognized it as a Finch cosplaying Ho-Oh.

The angle of the light screen is just right to see the photos on the phone.

[Yulongdu: Why does this Ho-Oh look so strange? I feel like it looks a bit like a large-billed finch.]

Uncle Liu: It's pretty good. If you don't look closely, it really does look like that.

Ash: This is really strange. It feels different from any Ho-Oh I've ever seen, but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

[Gary: Ash, have you really seen Ho-Oh?]

Ash: I told you before, I ran into Ho-Oh on the edge of Viridian Forest on my very first day out!

[Xiao Mao:! ! ! 】

[Shiba: This is absolutely true. I saw a drawing of Ho-Oh in my textbook before, and it looks exactly like this picture.]

[Daigo: Shiba, shouldn't you think about this carefully? Is your textbook really the same as this one?]

[Kona: Never mind him, this blockhead won't understand.]

That's pretty outrageous.

It's fine if others can't tell what it is.

Shiba couldn't tell.

You are the two kings of the Kanto and Johto regions!

Kona was very upset; it was truly bizarre.

.......

Chapter 26 The truth is out! I am the Rainbow Hero!

In the picture—

Xiao Zhi looked constipated.

That's it?

Even so, Ash still decided to go and take a look.

What if I misjudged the situation?

Although this possibility is very small.

I spent half a day at Sakuragi Lab and had lunch.

Ash took Haru and headed to the area where Ho-Oh (Finch) was found.

Johto Alliance, Enoki City.

This area is the oldest part of the entire Johto region.

The Bell Tower, where the Ho-Oh legend originated, and the Burnt Tower, where Lugia once lived, are both located in Ecruteak City.

"Let's go, Xiaochun."

Upon arriving in Ecruteak City, Ash took a deep breath of the fresh air around him!

Due to historical reasons, Einju City does not have many high-rise buildings.

Most of them are classical buildings.

The seemingly endless forest, in particular, is incredibly soothing.

"Do you know where it is?" Xiaochun asked.

"Of course, I know this place very well." With that, Ash stylishly turned the brim of his hat behind his head.

"I defeated Komatsu of the Enoki Gym here to get the Mirage Badge."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Xiaochun exclaimed, offering a look of admiration.
