Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Ignoring Xiao Gang, who is extremely popular with the opposite sex, Cheng, who immediately understood, wisely ended the conversation.

"Well, since your friends are here, I won't disturb you any longer."

"But Tyranitar and I won't give up... and neither will Magikarp! I won't lose so easily next time!"

"Oh!" Ash's eyes lit up. "Charizard and I are ready to take on any challenge!"

After exchanging contact information.

Ash returned to his teammates.

Under Makoto's watchful gaze, a tomboy went up and slapped Satoshi's arm.

Although it was unclear what he was saying, judging from his lip movements, he was probably describing how exciting the battle was.

Meanwhile, another artistic girl, who was using the "God-like Mouse-Holding Technique" to hold Pikachu with her arms outstretched as far away as possible and two fingers pinching it, stood a little further away and occasionally chimed in.

Cheng nodded.

so good!

Aside from the slightly off-key art style.

This is youth!

Back then, I encountered all sorts of trainers and was welcomed by many girls.

However, unlike Ash, he resolutely resisted!

After all, women can't compete with Pokémon!

Dating... will only interfere with his Pokémon battles!

........

Ash had just put the Pokédex back in his pocket when he turned around and was met with Brock's face, which was full of satisfaction.

His expression was as if he had just seen his own child finally get into their first-choice university, and even get in without taking the entrance exam.

"Shōshī, congratulations!"

Xiao Gang patted him on the shoulder.

"I won all four of my qualifying matches and secured my spot in the main draw. I really need to get into form over these three days."

After all, Ash's first defeat was at his own hands!

The stronger Xiaozhi is, the higher his value.

Thinking about it this way, he has taken a completely different path from his father!

Three days?

Ash blinked and took the Pikachu from Lillie's hands, which was training its endurance.

While gently scratching the back of its ear to soothe it, I asked in bewilderment.

"Why three days? Isn't the main competition starting tomorrow?"

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and nudged him with her elbow without any hesitation.

"Were you so focused on the battle that you didn't even read the rules?"

"Trains will be given three days of rest after the qualifiers, and the main tournament will start promptly at 9:00 AM on the fourth day after the opening ceremony."

"This is time that the organizing committee specifically allocated for the athletes to rest and prepare for the competition. Not everyone is like you, still full of energy after four matches."

"That's right." Xiao Gang nodded seriously, crossed his arms, and struck a pose like a seasoned strategist. "You can do two things in these three days."

"The first is to study the secret manual that King KONA gave you, and the second is to study the secret manual that King KONA gave you during your rest time..."

Lillie, standing to the side: "........"

Is this...is it that you're determined to see King Kona no matter what?

Mr. Xiao Gang is really bewitched...

"Actually..." Lillie raised her hand timidly, "there's no rush. How about we find a place to celebrate first?"

"Okay, okay, I only ate one piece of bread this morning."

"Then I want a large portion—"

"Pikachu!"

The three of them talked, ignoring Teacher Gang, and walked out through the contestant passage.

......

The noise from the stands hadn't subsided yet. Although the next match was about to begin, most people were still talking about the amazing battle between Tyranitar and Charizard.

Amidst this noisy background noise.

A stylishly dressed woman with a streak of green bleached hair was typing rapidly.

The screen of the encyclopedia reflected her face, which had a few freckles.

On the screen was a photo of Ash commanding Charizard in battle.

[Number one in the whole school: (image.jpg) How about it? Isn't that him?]

Less than three seconds after the message was sent, the other party replied.

[Student A (Note: Azure Blade Demon is good, Motor Lizard runs very fast): That's right, it's him! The man who defeated me back then!]

[Student A (Note: Azure Blade Demon is good, and Lizard is very fast): His Inferno Monkey is quite powerful!]

"Infernape...Charizard..."

Nemo murmured the two names, her whole body trembling with excitement.

After all, one person has two completely different fighting styles.

If only I could have a relationship with him.

Just thinking about the different feeling made Nemo subconsciously lick her lips.

tasty!

It's absolutely delicious!

253. Please... fight me!

Thinking of this, an excited Nemo couldn't help but slightly squeeze her legs together.

An irrepressible fighting spirit surged from below to above.

She shoved the encyclopedia into her pocket, ignoring the match that was about to begin.

No matter how exciting the battle is, it can't compare to personally measuring the strengths and weaknesses of that trainer named Ash!

With her bag slung over her shoulder, she headed straight after Ash and his friends in the direction they had gone.

Say something.

She's been having a blast in Kanto lately, having been cooped up in Padiya for so long, she's really had her fill of fun.

Unlike in Padia, where trainers must request permission and obtain consent before engaging in Pokémon battles, this is different.

In the Kanto region, once you make eye contact, most trainers will instantly understand!

Without even a word, his hand would instinctively reach for the Poké Ball at his waist. The next second, a thrilling scene of Pokémon appearing and exchanging moves would unfold!

Even if you occasionally encounter someone who's a bit slow to react, you can simply ask, "Want to play a round?"

The opponent will grin and deftly throw out the Poké Ball.

For Nemo, coming to Kanto felt like coming home.

Do not!

It's not just home!

This place, this place is heaven!

Back when I was in Orange Academy, many people would lose to her thirty or forty times and then refuse to play against her anymore.

They even actively avoided her, leaving her feeling frustrated and with nowhere to channel her energy!

Even his arrival in Kanto was only because he overheard that the Azure Flame Blade Demon was quite good, saying that this place was full of hidden talents, which piqued his interest.

It's a pity that time was too tight...

I didn't even have time to participate in the dojo challenge. I just rushed to get a qualification certificate before the Indigo League registration deadline and then came to participate.

However, no longer bound by the school's academic affairs office, Nemo can be said to have found her own freedom, like a bird soaring into the blue sky or a barracuda swimming in the ocean!

These past few days, she's either been watching the matches from the stands or lurking near various training grounds, specifically targeting strong opponents with impressive records or those who are the subject of much online discussion, and launching direct challenges when she catches them.

Every day was fulfilling and exciting; I was so happy I forgot about Paddy.

But to be honest...

While the quality of trainers at the Indigo League in the Kanto region is quite high, the service is lacking.

Every time she squatted in the same training field a few times, a middle-aged man in uniform would come over with a stern face and shoo her away.

It says something like, "There are Pokémon that seem to be attacking people nearby. Don't linger here."

The key point is that I've been squatting here for so long, but I haven't seen any Pokémon attacking people.

However, on second thought, I did seem to sense some surveillance while I was at the training ground these past two days...

Nemo shook her head, banishing these trivial thoughts from her mind.

So engrossed in reminiscing about their glorious moment, Ash and his friends in front of them had almost blurred into tiny dots.

Gritting her teeth, Nemo quickened her pace.

But after only a few dozen meters of catching up, his pace gradually changed from long strides to small, quick steps, and finally to a staggering, dragging gait.

Physical strength has always been her most fatal weakness.

Although she even had a record of taking on an entire class by herself at the Orange Academy in Padia.

But once she leaves the battlefield and changes into casual clothes, she becomes the "breathing champion" who consistently ranks last in the entire academy's physical fitness tests.
