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

Although Leon agreed to battle Ash, it's not now.

The two agreed to meet again the next day to fulfill their promise.

Dante is, after all, the champion, and the Galer is developing rapidly.

He doesn't have much free time.

at this time.

Outside a coffee shop in Gongmen City.

Ash and Haru sat under a parasol on the outskirts, eating desserts and drinking coffee.

"Xiao Zhi, you are really amazing! You actually managed to get Mr. Dan to agree to a battle with you. That's Mr. Dan!"

"Isn't this... quite normal? Even if someone challenges me to a duel, I would agree without hesitation."

"Pica~"

Pikachu nodded in agreement.

Trainers battling each other is a very common occurrence, isn't it? Why is Xiaochun so surprised?

"No, that's different. Mr. Dan Di is the world champion, someone that only the eight masters can challenge."

"Huh? There's such a rule?"

"Yes, didn't you also see information about the World Championship on the plane yesterday?" Xiaochun said suspiciously.

"Well, I was so busy watching the competition information yesterday that I didn't pay much attention." Ash touched Pikachu embarrassedly, trying to ease the awkwardness.

"As expected of you, Ash." Xiaochun was impressed, but still planned to give Ash a crash course on the World Championship.

Only now does Xiaochun feel that the knowledge she learned in school has finally found a place to be put to good use.

Xiaochun was happy to be able to help Xiaozhi.

"Participants in the World Championship must first register online. Trainers who register will be divided into four levels based on their wins and losses and the content of the competition:"

Normal Ball Ranking: Trainers who register for the first time ~ 1000th place

Superball rankings: 999th to 100th

Advanced Ball Ranking: 99th to 9th

Master Level: Top 8

Participants need to compete against trainers of similar skill levels to improve their ranking.

"This is so complicated~" Xiao Zhi felt overwhelmed by the series of information.

"Those who reach the Master level in the World Championships are called the Eight Masters. They are the eight strongest trainers in the world, and Mr. Leon is currently the strongest champion at the pinnacle of all trainers."

"Only those who rank in the top 20 of the Ultra Balls are qualified to challenge the Eight Masters, and to challenge Mr. Leon, you must advance to the Eight Masters. Do you understand, Ash?"

"I...I think I understand. Even as the Alola League Champion, I can't challenge Mr. Leon?" Ash said, sounding very unsure.

Xiao Chun said so much, but he only remembered that only the Eight Masters could challenge the Pill Emperor.

The feeling of knowledge flowing through one's mind without leaving any trace is truly frustrating.

"Pikachu~" Pikachu simply shrugs.

Pikachu is helpless!

Who can blame it when Ash is its trainer!

We have no choice but to spoil them!

.......

Chapter 39 Battle! Ash vs. Leon!

[Xiaoxia: I know Xiaozhi didn't understand without even looking!]

[Ash: Nonsense, I... I definitely understood!]

[Xiao Mao: Really? I don't believe it!]

[Ash: You idiot Gary, I'm not like you! What don't you understand? Just keep winning!]

[Little Gary: I didn't understand, but it's not surprising since you're Ash~]

Xiao Mao: Awesome!

Damn it, after so many times he finally got his chance!

Xiao Zhi, you can't beat me when it comes to intelligence.

The delighted Xiao Mao looked at the comments again, and then his face turned a deep purplish-red.

Xiao Mao went directly to the red temperature.

Ash: I have a championship, do you?

Excellent, this is absolutely a sure-fire kill!

……

In the picture—

Feeling guilty, Xiao Zhi ate all the dessert in front of him in one gulp.

However, unsurprisingly, Ash choked because the snack was too dry.

Xiao Zhi pounded his chest forcefully, trying to swallow the snack in his throat.

Seeing this, Xiaochun quickly prepared to get water for Xiaozhi, but her hand, which she had just raised, stopped in place.

"Have some water~" a gentle voice sounded from the side.

At the same time, a glass of water was handed to me.

Ash took the water and drank it all in one gulp, finally swallowing the snack.

"Thank you so much!" Ash breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude.

However, when he turned his head to look...

The person handing him water was none other than the person Ash was about to challenge—Champion Leon.

Leon greeted the two with a smile, saying that thanks to Ash, no one was injured yesterday.

This time, Leon came specifically to thank Ash and to fulfill the promise he made yesterday.

However, he seemed to have overheard something quite interesting.

The boy in front of me, named Ash, is actually the champion of the Alola League.

Although the Alola League had just been established, he had already heard about it.

In that championship match, the Alola League champion challenged the strongest trainer in Alola.

And a god even joined the battle.

This means that Ash's skill level is not just that of a tournament champion, but that of a genuine league champion.

This is interesting; a fifteen-year-old league champion.

That's a genius among geniuses.

No wonder Ash's Pikachu didn't go berserk even when hit by the Dynamax Energy in the wild.

[Lance: Something's not right. Why is Leon so surprised by Ash's status as the Alola League Champion? Could there be something we don't know about this?]

[DaYe: I guess they're just surprised by Ash's age; a 15-year-old tournament champion is quite astonishing.]

[Dan Di: No, if it were just that, I would only admire it, not be surprised.]

Alola, Melemele Island.

Dr. Kukui's eyes flickered as he watched the scrolling bullet comments.

These champions were all speculating as to why Dan Di was so surprised.

He had guessed something.

Me and Kapok Koko...

If that's the case, then Ash's strength has been greatly underestimated.

……

In the picture—

Leon invites Ash to the Palace Gate Stadium for a battle.

Following in Leon's footsteps, Ash led the still-shocked Haru to the Palace Arena.

Leon will be challenged by Ash here.

All of this happened so surreal that Xiaochun's brain was still malfunctioning.

Xiao Chun didn't come to her senses until Dan Di spoke.

"Ash, why do you want to battle me?" Leon asked with interest.

"Because Mr. Leon, you are the world's number one, the world's strongest trainer who defeated Mr. Lance."
