Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Ever since some viewers let loose and made outrageous remarks about Nazi during the last round of the top 32 to top 16 competition, I had nightmares all night, tormented by bizarre and repetitive tests.

From basic arithmetic to ancient writing, from Pokémon attribute tables to League regulations, the nightmare's questions came page after page, leaving me drenched in sweat and chills running down my spine when I woke up.

Now they only feel awe towards the petty-minded Naz!

Pure and flawless reverence!

With his attention focused on the battle, Ash didn't pay much attention to the discussions in the arena; he simply watched Sabrina from afar.

Sabrina was putting away Alakazam's Poké Ball. Her long, slender fingers had just tucked the ball back to her waist when she seemed to sense something and turned her head to the side.

A gentle breeze ruffled the stray hairs on her forehead, and her gaze met the air across half the arena, still faintly tinged with the aftershocks of the battle.

Ok?

not good!!

I only glanced at Ash in the crowd.

Naza felt her imperial engine start up again!

On one side of that face, which was usually as cold as an ice sculpture, a thin layer of red was visibly flushed.

Her shoulders visibly trembled, her breathing became erratic, and her chest heaved even more rapidly than during the battle.

Naz pressed her hand to her chest, her heart pounding like a drum beneath her palm.

This feeling...

It felt like someone had punched me hard in the face!

Before she could figure out why she had come up with such a strange description, her body moved first.

With a single teleportation, they created distance and fled the venue as if escaping.

"What's wrong with her?"

Xiaoxia found it a bit strange.

“Pikachu........”

Pikachu was also a little confused.

Is he trying to provoke the mouse?

Only Hanako, sitting next to her, thoughtfully turned her gaze back from the direction where Natsumi had disappeared.

She looked at Xiaozhi with a hint of relief.

He then leaned over and gently patted Lillie's shoulder.

"Lillie, you have to do your best!"

"Eh?"

........

We rested for about twenty minutes.

The site staff took the opportunity to come up and inspect the area, and then redraw the boundary lines. The ground that had been lifted up by telekinesis was also repaired by Golem.

Soon, an announcement for the next match popped up on the huge electronic screen overhead.

[Ash vs. Imettie]

"Oh, it's my turn!"

"Go for it, Ash!"

"Go, go!"

"Ash! Hit the fake with your fists!"

Nodding, Ash stood up, stretched Pikachu's shoulders, and headed to the arena.

The roar from the audience surged up again.

Meanwhile, Imetti emerged from the players' tunnel on the opposite side.

They stood on the opposite side of the field.

She was wearing a dark blue tracksuit, with a neat cut and tight cuffs. Her hair was styled in short, loose strands. She walked steadily to her position.

However, before he could even speak, a soft "poof" sound was heard.

She popped the Poké Ball out of her pocket.

A red light landed, and Ash's Ditto appeared directly on the field, staring blankly at Ash.

Ash: "........"

Ditto: "........"

Ash stared at the Ditto opposite him that looked exactly like him for about three seconds in silence.

Then he suddenly nodded and said in a serious tone.

"I see, I understand now!"

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu nodded as well.

Seeing this, Ditto nodded.

"???"

Imetti was completely stunned.

No, what do you all understand? Did you even say anything just now?!

Why am I the only one who doesn't understand?!

The audience was already buzzing with discussion.

"Wait a minute, why is this person's chest so flat? It wasn't like this in the photos I saw before!"

"Is this a scam? This is a scam!"

"I came here specifically for those divine items! How come this fierce, beautiful girl has turned into a tomboy?!"

"Hey~ that's wrong~ that's wrong~"

"Tomboy is the best!"

"Why do you say that?"

"You don't understand, do you?" The man crossed his arms and spoke eloquently, "The advantage of women is that they have sex, but the disadvantage is that their sex life can be difficult to manage sometimes."

"But a tomboy not only has a girl's body, but can even be your best buddy, without all those messy things. From this perspective, isn't he the most perfect being?!"

"?!"

"!?"

"!!!"

These words astonished everyone present! The gentleman's words were truly profound and insightful!

But the man's mouth didn't stop!

"Unlike the perfect tomboy, Nan Niang! Nan Niang is the ugliest being in the world!"

"Not only is his body male, but his personality is female too! It's simply unbelievable! I just can't bear to look at him!!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang's expression turned serious.

Although he couldn't agree with the first part, and that ferocity was indeed very important... he did agree with the second part.

Anyone with integrity knows this.

Imagine finding a doujinshi with great art and a captivating storyline online, only to discover that the author is Nan Niang—how devastating would that be!

........

As the group talked, the Kanto natives' nature prevailed, and the audience's topic eventually turned to Ash and Ditto.

"Speaking of which, did that Ditto transform into Ash Ketchum's appearance?"

"Does she know Ash Ketchum?"

"Whether you know them or not, they're all a little bit perverted."

"No, no, no, you can't say that. What if they're just researching combat?"

"Does research battle require Ditto to transform into a humanoid form? Shouldn't research battles involve transforming into a Pokémon?"

Imetti stood in the center of the field, her excellent hearing allowing her to catch most of the conversation.

She remained unfazed.

His lips remained completely still.

His hands were firmly tucked into his pockets.

Just kidding, what's a little show of force?

Thanks to Ditto, that troublesome guy, she has encountered more than ten times more embarrassing situations at various gyms!

"Contestants in position—!"

Seeing that the atmosphere had heated up enough, the referee raised his flag high and then dropped it decisively.

"—Please send out your Pokémon!"

Imetti's gaze suddenly sharpened.

She pointed to the center of the field almost at the same moment the referee announced the decision.

"Ditto, enter!"

Ash, transformed from Ditto, took a step and stepped into the battlefield in a posture exactly like Ash himself.

"Pikachu, let's go too!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu jumped into the arena, its cheek sacs crackling with electricity.
