Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Sooner or later, it will succeed in its comeback and teach that cloaked man a lesson about "not interrupting someone's moment of enlightenment"!

Tear off all the cloaks!

However, it wasn't that it didn't realize anything at all.

Mewtwo closed its eyes slightly, carefully savoring the power that had just surged into its body.

It emptied its mind, allowing that brief energy contact to flow again in its consciousness.

Previously, when the amount of that power was not so large, it did not notice anything unusual, but this time the amount is so large, the power coming from Xiaozhi is obviously wrong!

Small!

It's gotten much smaller!

To put it simply, it's as if that power passed through a transfer station before reaching it, and then it was handed over to it for evolution.

Even a portion of it will be taken away in the middle!

Mewtwo frowned.

Could it be that someone else is stealing its energy besides Charizard?

It wasn't that it didn't try to find the corresponding reasons by using its foresight into the future.

It is possible to predict when it will be launched.

In his mind, he could only picture Ash, Charizard, or other strange and varied Pokémon looking at him.

Caterpie, Magikarp, Ditto...

Once, I even saw a Pokémon that looked somewhat like myself!

It has a small body, pinkish-white fur, and a long tail that curls into a small arc at the end.

His eyesight isn't great.

I don't know what they're looking at; it's like they're looking at a beggar...

Mewtwo shook its head vigorously, trying to banish these inexplicable images from its mind.

It took a deep breath to calm its agitated mood.

Could it be...

If I want to succeed in turning the tables, do I really need to have a good talk with Ash?

274. Didn't you show me this right away?

The battles that followed the conference progressed even more rapidly.

Aside from the two seasoned quartz conference participants playing a very even and back-and-forth match.

Both Shigeru and Sabrina resolved their battles at lightning speed. Of course, for some contestants, this might simply mean resolving the battle within the arena...

With the final four teams decided, the long-awaited Quartz Conference finally quieted down.

Those who wanted to fight privately continued to do so, and those who wanted to visit the event continued to visit the event.

Long queues formed in front of various Pokémon merchandise and snack stalls at the market.

The entire conference grounds felt more lively and less tense than in the previous days, with less of the gunpowder atmosphere.

And at this very moment.

In an ordinary room in the athletes' village.

The light was completely blocked by the heavy curtains, with only a thin, long golden strip of light leaking in from the edge, cutting through the darkness of the room.

Through the dim light, one could vaguely see a boy with hair as messy as a bird's nest huddled among the crumpled papers and torn notebook pages scattered on the ground.

For Ash's sake, Gary has been sitting here quietly for two days.

He wrote a few more strokes on a piece of paper, paused, and silently read it over again from beginning to end, admiring his own plan before finally shouting out loud.

"Wow! Great!"

"I did it! I finally did it!!!"

The Blastoise, which was curled up and dozing in the bathtub, was startled by the roar and its head hit the bathtub wall with a thud.

"Kame?"

It rubbed its head.

He looked at his trainer with hazy eyes.

What? What do you mean, what?

What are you?

Could you please at least keep a minimum level of quiet when other people are sleeping?

Pokémon have human rights too!

Xiao Mao was completely unaware of the subtle look in his partner's eyes.

He stood up, held the page up to the light filtering through the curtains, his fingertips trembling slightly, and his mouth agape in an uncontrollable grin.

Although the handwriting on the paper was messy, it clearly outlined a complete tactical chain!

From choosing your starting Pokémon to the timing of your rotations, from anticipating your opponent's moves to delivering the final blow...

Every link is perfectly connected!

"This! This is it!!"

Xiao Mao shook the papers in his hand.

"The equation for victory! The perfect plan to defeat Ash! I understand it now!!!"

After saying that, he abruptly put the paper down and turned to look at Blastoise.

Although there were two dark circles under his eyes, his eyes shone as brightly as two lamps!

Do you know what this means?

"Kame?"

Blastoise blinked, its claws still rubbing the bump on its forehead that was about to swell.

mean.......

So, you're pretty good, huh?

For the past two days, Xiao Mao has stayed quietly in his room, without going out to provoke others or cause trouble.

The turtle had safely spent several precious days of "non-emergency avoidance," so naturally it wouldn't dampen its trainer's enthusiasm at this time.

But seeing Blastoise's indifferent reaction, Gary frowned!

"...What kind of reaction is that! I've found a counter-strategy against Ash!"

"As long as we defeat him in the main tournament—"

"If I can do something like this, then I'm truly number one in Pallet Town! Do you even understand how prestigious being number one in Pallet Town is?!"

He finished speaking in one breath, then added another sentence.

"Of course, then you'll be Pallet Town's number one Blastoise!"

"How about it? Aren't you excited!"

Blastoise tilted its head.

It thought of its still-living mother, grandmother, and a series of elders who are still active in the waters around Pallet Town...

Even if it beats Ash, it doesn't seem like it can be ranked as the "Number One Blastoise in Pallet Town," right?

At most, it's "the number one Blastoise among the younger generation in Pallet Town".

But this prefix is ​​a bit too long... However, considering that Xiao Shi has indeed worked hard these past few days, Blastoise still gave a thumbs up and nodded reluctantly.

"Click!"

Although, but haha.

Have you ever thought about this question?

What if the opponent in the next match isn't Ash?

Having understood Blastoise's meaning, Shigeru's smile froze on his face.

But Blastoise is still attacking.

What if it's that woman whose name can't be mentioned?

Xiao Mao's expression went through a complete transformation from "triumphant" to "frozen" and then to "gradually turning pale".

indeed.

I've been so focused on studying Ash these past few days that I completely forgot about Sabrina, the amazing one!

However, he did consider tactics for that woman, but in the end, without exception, none of them were viable!

It's not a matter of his attributes being suppressed, but rather that the woman simply doesn't fit within his logical framework.

Forget about prediction, reading ahead, and timing rotations; when facing someone who can turn you and your Pokémon into a cube, all those rules and regulations in the tactics manual become a joke!

While Ash could indeed shape a person into a cube... due to tournament rules, trainers are strictly prohibited from participating in battles!

Kronos is different; she uses superpowers to empower Pokémon, which is legal and compliant!

Unless he, Shigeru, can be quickly elected as the league's leader during the Indigo League and change the rules of the game.

Otherwise, Naz would be a mobile bug on the field, with no way to counter her!

Shigeru took a deep breath, grabbed his already tangled hair, and pressed it against Blastoise's slightly open mouth.

"Don't be such a jinx! Spit it out!"

The Blastoise, with its mouth pressed down, had eyes full of innocence.

This is superstition, isn't it?

And regardless of whether it spits or not, the opponent for the next round is determined by drawing lots, and the probability won't change just because a turtle spits.
