Elf: Release? Not possible.

“Many outstanding contestants have emerged in this Quartz Conference, and we would also like to thank the contestants from all over the world who came from far away to participate in the competition!”

"Every year, I see so many contestants coming. Some are new faces emerging from different regions, while others are familiar faces who have participated in the competition tirelessly every year."

"But whether familiar or unfamiliar, I feel very gratified to see so many trainers emerge every year."

"This year's Quartz Conference has come to a successful conclusion. I hope the next conference can be held successfully!"

Damalanqi went on stage to speak as required, and applause broke out again as people listened to Damalanqi's words.

After a great battle, it was already dusk and Damalanchi officially announced the closing of the conference.

The position where the sun sets is exactly in the direction of the living stage. As the closing ceremony progresses, the sun gradually sets from the horizon.

The venue became dark, with only the flame of Moltres lighting up the entire venue, and the audience and contestants left one after another.

"Ash!!!"

Xiaozhi and Xiaolan left the stage together. When they came outside, Xiaoxia and the others were waiting outside. When they saw the two of them, they waved and greeted them.

"Congratulations, Xiaozhi! And Xiaolan!!" Xiaohuang looked at the two people walking up and spoke to them.

"Thank you!" Xiaozhi and Xiaolan responded at the same time.

"Haha, our Pallet Town has taken both the first and second place in this tournament. Xiaozhi and Xiaolan, you really made our Pallet Town proud!"

At this time, Professor Oak also came over and looked at the two of them with great satisfaction.

I watched them grow up from a very young age, watched them become trainers, and watched them grow along the way.

Now all the hard work has finally paid off, but it's a pity that Xiao Mao was not competitive enough this time, otherwise, maybe there would be a chance for Zhenxin Town to take the top three.

"Thank you for the compliment, Doctor!" Xiao Lan responded after hearing the voice.

"Although Xiaozhi won the championship, don't be proud because of this!" Hanako also spoke at this time.

As a mother, my pride in Xiaozhi was evident on my face when I saw him win the championship, but I also don't want him to become complacent because of this.

"Mom! I know!!"

"Please take this home for me now!" Xiaozhi responded helplessly. In fact, he was not proud at all.

Of course he was very happy to win the championship, but he also knew that he should not get carried away.

How many trainers were dubbed geniuses and performed well when they debuted, but because they were too complacent, they eventually became lost in the crowd, returned to ordinary levels, and finally disappeared.

"｀ ~Okay! Don't hang around outside. Now that the conference is over, go home early."

Seeing Xiaozhi handing the championship trophy to her without hesitation, Hanako knew that Xiaozhi was not lost because of winning the championship.

"understood!!"

Facing his nagging mother, Xiaozhi responded helplessly as usual.

Because Satoshi is returning to Pallet Town next, the others plan to walk back, while Professor Oak and Hanako are returning by boat, so they will be faster than Satoshi and the others.

After returning to the Pokémon Center, Professor Oak and Hanako did not stay and planned to leave that night.

　(Wang Dezhao) Because Dr. Oki had been away from the institute for a long time and had a lot of things to do, Hanako naturally went back with him.

As for Xiaozhi, he also said goodbye to Sundae and Martha who came to cheer him up. Gin left without saying goodbye at some point.

Given his personality, it was not surprising for Xiaozhi and the others. At night, Xiaozhi and his group, as well as Xiaolan, sat together in the restaurant of the Pokémon Center.

We ordered a sumptuous dinner to celebrate the good results achieved by Xiaozhi and Xiaolan.

"cheers!!"

Everyone gathered around the table, holding cups in their hands. Pikachu, Jigglypuff and a few other little guys also sat beside them.

The game is over, and Pikachu and the others can have a good rest.

Xiaozhi sat in his seat, watching Pikachu and the others concentrating on eating, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"What are your plans, Xiaolan?"

After the toast, Xiaozhi was looking at Pikachu and the others, and Xiao Huang suddenly asked.

"As for me! After the competition, I don't know what to do next. I want to go back to Pallet Town first and decide what to do next slowly."

Xiaolan put down the cup, thought for a while and then responded. This is probably a situation that every trainer will encounter, not knowing what to do after the game.

"What about you, Xiaozhi?" Xiaolan, who didn't know what to do, also looked at Xiaozhi.

"Me?" Xiaozhi withdrew his gaze after hearing the voice.

"I haven't decided yet. I'd better go back to Pallet Town and see what to do next. Maybe I can go to other areas to have a look!"

Xiaozhi responded after hearing the voice. Although he was familiar with the plot, he still hadn't decided which area to go to next.

"It seems that everyone is the same after the game!" Xiao Lan also smiled after hearing this.

The crowd stopped just chatting. No matter whether they were competing or cheering for the competition, everyone was hungry, so after the chat they started to enjoy the food.

"Xiaozhi, do you want to eat?"

Inside the room, seeing Xiaozhi walking to the door and seeing this scene, Xiaoxia couldn't help but ask.

Pikachu, who was playing with Togepi and Qiuqiu, also turned around when he saw this.

Pickup truck??

"Nothing, I'm just going out for a walk, Pikachu you stay and rest!"

After hearing the voice, Xiaozhi put his hand on the door handle and said to everyone.

Pikachu also participated in the competition today. Although he has mostly recovered under Miss Joy's care, he is still a little tired.

Pikapi~~~

After hearing what Xiaozhi said, Pikachu did not follow him. Xiaozhi opened the door and walked out. At this time, Xiao Huang couldn't help but speak.

"Xiaozhi, I feel weird!"

"It's normal actually. After all, it's a bit unnatural to win the championship just after traveling!" Xiaogang couldn't help but say when he saw this.

"I don't understand. Shouldn't it be a very happy thing to win the championship?" Xiaoxia couldn't help but speak after hearing this.

"That's true, but if a person's starting point is too high, he will feel empty." Xiaogang did not object after hearing this, but he could also understand Xiaozhi's feelings.

"Empty?" Xiao Huang and Xiao Xia were a little confused.

"Yes! To put it simply, for example, although Blue's grades were also very good, she still lost to Satoshi after all."

"So Blue will continue to target Satoshi, but what about Satoshi's target?"

"emmmm! Xiaozhi's goal should be the Elite Four and the Champion?!" Xiaoxia thought about it after hearing the voice and then spoke.

"Well! Although I won the Quartz Conference Championship, it is obviously too early to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion now!" Xiaogang certainly knew this goal.

But it's still early before that. Although Xiaozhi is already very strong now, he still has a long way to go before he can catch up with the level of the Elite Four.

"So being too strong can also be a problem?" Xiao Huang couldn't help but speak while supporting his chin.

She didn't like Pokémon battles before, and when she saw the trainers, they were undoubtedly trying their best to become stronger.

But after hearing what Xiaogang said, it doesn’t seem like that’s such a good thing.

. . . .

Xiaozhi was unaware of the conversation between Xiaogang and others. After leaving the room, Xiaozhi also left the Pokémon Center.

The streets outside were not as lively as when the competition was going on, but there were still quite a few people, and there were also indigenous people on the Quartz Plateau itself, so it would not be deserted even after the competition was over.

Many people recognized Xiaozhi while walking on the street. Some greeted him, and some came up to him to ask for his autograph and take photos with him.

Xiaozhi was a little uncomfortable at first, but seeing the enthusiasm of passers-by, he felt embarrassed to refuse.

It took Xiaozhi a long time to finally leave the crowd, walking aimlessly on the street, and unknowingly arrived at the competition venue again.

Xiaozhi looked in front of him and saw that the door of the venue was not closed yet. He subconsciously raised his leg and walked in. As soon as he walked in, he saw a staff member walking towards him.

"Hmm? Are you... Xiaozhi player?"

When the staff saw Xiaozhi, they recognized him at a glance.

This is the new conference champion. I'm afraid there is no one in the league who doesn't know him.

"Yes, that... is it going to be closed?"

Xiaozhi nodded slightly in response, then glanced behind the staff member and saw it was pitch black.

"Yes! There is no one here anymore. The president has taken the sacred flame back, but there is no rule that prohibits entry after it is closed. If you want to go in, you can leave through the contestant channel later!"

After hearing the noise, the staff member responded that they had worked here for many years and had encountered similar situations before.

Many trainers like to go back to the scene to watch after the game.

"Okay! Sorry to trouble you." Xiaozhi responded politely after hearing the voice.

"Hahaha! It's okay, this kind of thing is very common. Besides, you're the champion of the tournament, no need to be so polite!"

After hearing this, the staff also responded generously.

After that, the staff said goodbye to Xiaozhi and left, and Xiaozhi walked into the venue.

The ground in the center of the venue had returned to normal. Xiaozhi walked down the stairs to the audience seats and then sat down in a position with a good view.

The lights have been turned off and the sacred flame has been taken away by Damalanchi. Now the entire venue is dark and empty.

“This is what it feels like to watch the game from here!”

From the audience's perspective, Xiaozhi spoke unconsciously, and he could probably imagine that although he was sitting here, he didn't feel as excited as being in the competition in person.

But watching the game progress will also affect my emotions. Although I will watch other players' games during the game, I am not sitting here with the mood of a spectator at that time.

Just like that, Xiaozhi sat alone in the dark conference room without saying a word.

It was not until late at night that Xiaozhi left the venue and returned to the Pokémon Center. When he came back, Xiaogang and the others had already gone to bed. Xiaozhi went to bed carefully without disturbing them.

The next day

Xiaolan said goodbye to everyone early in the morning. Although they were all going back to Pallet Town, Xiaolan seemed to be used to being alone, so he said goodbye to everyone and left early in the morning.

Xiaozhi and the others had no plans to stay, as the game was over, and they packed up their luggage and planned to leave.

Xiao Huang wants to return to Viridian City, and he will also pass through Viridian City when returning to Pallet Town, so Xiao Huang decides to go with the three of them.

After packing their belongings, the group left the Pokémon Center and reached the exit of the facility, where Ash turned to take a look.

"Xiaozhi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xiaozhi stop, Xiaoxia couldn't help but ask.

"The next time I come back, it will be time to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings."

Xiaozhi looked at the alliance facilities behind him. Apart from the alliance conference, the Quartz Plateau facilities would not be opened again. However, there was an exception, and that was when someone challenged the Four Heavenly Kings.

The three of them looked at each other unconsciously after hearing what Xiaozhi said, but they were not too surprised.

This kind of thing was too far away for them, but coming from Xiaozhi's mouth, it seemed not impossible to them.

"Let's go!" Before the three of them could react, they heard Xiaozhi's voice again.

Seeing Xiaozhi leave, the three hurriedly followed, and the four of them left the Quartz Plateau together.

When leaving, no one was as anxious as when they came to participate in the competition. After all, the competition was over and there were no other arrangements for the time being, so everyone was not too anxious on the road.

. . . .

“I didn’t notice when I came here, the scenery on the road is so beautiful!”

At noon, everyone found a place near the sea, stopped to rest, and had lunch.

It would still take about half a day to reach Tokiwa City, but the group was not in a hurry. Xiaogang prepared tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils to prepare lunch for everyone.

Misty and Yellow took Hilichi and Togepi to look at the scenery. Satoshi also released all the Pokémons and watched them play.
