Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master

This boy has a natural talent for adjusting the elevator's power cord to the voltage suitable for Pikachu with his bare hands.

"I'm sorry, but I'm actually a Pokémon Trainer and I'm currently participating in the Pokémon League Tournament, so I can't accept your offer."

The boy refused very decisively.

"In the League Tournament, I'm also a Pokémon Trainer. I just won the fourth round and entered the top 16."

Ash wasn't disappointed; in fact, his liking for the boy increased even more when he heard that the boy was a trainer.

"What a coincidence! Hello, my name is Ahong, and I look forward to meeting you on the field!"

The two clasped hands again.

"Hiroshi is the rival who defeated Ash at the Indigo League."

When Xiaozhi heard the other person's name, he remembered.

Although he often forgets some trivial things, he remembers this one very clearly.

The other party also has a Pikachu named Rein, and in terms of strength, it's about the same as Ash from the original series.

Ash is already looking forward to meeting his opponent in the tournament. Now he really wants to see how much stronger he is than before.

After saying goodbye to Hiro, Ash turned around and prepared to head to the athletes' village to rest.

"Ash, Ash, something terrible has happened!"

Just then, Xiao Gang rushed over, and Xiao Zhi wondered why everyone around him seemed to love saying something terrible had happened.

"It's too late, Xiaogang. We've already finished eating."

After the meal, Xiaoxia accompanied Hanako shopping, while Professor Oak went to attend the League meeting.

When Xiaogang ran over, only Xiaozhi, who was going back to the athletes' village to rest, was there.

"No...Xia isn't here either? That's great news."

"What exactly happened?"

"Let me tell you, Xiaozhi, your emotional debts have come back to haunt you."

"There's a very beautiful girl with a great figure standing at the entrance of the athletes' village. She says she's your 'running buddy'."

"What a bold girl! You dare to say that! You're so mean, Xiaozhi! She's been waiting for you!"

"What?" You can't just say that.

Damn it, I should never have made that kind of joke with Natsume.

Xiao Gang poked Xiao Zhi's shoulder with a mischievous grin. "Tell me honestly what your relationship is. If Xiao Xia sees this, she'll tear you apart."

"Is that girl tall and has long, straight black hair?" Xiao Zhi asked one last time to confirm.

That's right.

That confirms it's Sabrina. She called Ash every day during his competition.

And he kept saying that he wanted to come to the scene to cheer for Xiaozhi whenever he had free time, but I didn't expect him to actually come now.

Of course, they couldn't wait to reunite after so long, so Ash sprinted towards Sabrina's location.

"Hey, Ash, wait for me."

------------

When Ash arrived at the athletes' village, Sabrina was still waiting there.

Many people around her were watching her curiously from afar, but Naz would always have an icy expression when she was in front of strangers.

Her beautiful face was quite eye-catching, but no one dared to approach her and strike up a conversation.

"Naza, I'm here!"

When Sabrina saw Ash running over, her expression immediately softened.

But instead of a hug, Ash was met with a familiar shock of superpowers.

Ash immediately stopped and used his Aura to retaliate.

It's the same old clash of "domineering colors"—red and blue.

The trainers who had been secretly watching suddenly felt a terrifying shock and were immediately scared away.

“You’ve become stronger.” Sabrina withdrew her attack.

[Ding! Sabrina: Affection +1]

Ash's Aura Power is now at its maximum level, and Sabrina can only manage a draw against Ash even when she uses all her psychic powers.

How did you get here?

He took Natsume's hand in his past life, and the brief exchange of abilities quickly dispelled the slight awkwardness between them.

"I left the gym to my parents and used Teleport to quickly travel from Saffron City to Indigo Plateau."

With Ash by her side, Sabrina's expression immediately softened.

But I still have to say, superpowers are really useful.

Just then, Misty and Hanako also finished shopping and arrived at the entrance of the athletes' village, just in time to see Ash holding Sabrina's hand.

In Xiao Gang's mind, what followed was a fight between the two girls and his mother's accusations.

Then the sound of the kettle boiling rang out, and Xiao Zhi was decapitated.

"It's all the world's fault.jpg"

He closed his eyes, unable to bear watching any longer...

But nothing happened.

"Saria, you've come to cheer for Ash too!" Misty greeted Sabrina happily as she came over.

Hanako had no objections.

The mother thought this when she discovered Xiaozhi's situation because she used to see Xiaoshige driving around with his girlfriends all the time.

"Oh, only two? They're sure to have a harmonious relationship with their mother-in-law!"

Xiaoxia, on the other hand, was unable to withstand the power of the muscular man's electric motor alone because it was too strong.

Now she desperately wants to get others involved to share her burden.

Xiao Gang was incredibly envious when he saw this.

"You're too strong! You're a role model for men! Ash Ketchum, how can I become as strong as you!"

Chapter Ninety-Four: Advancing to the Top Eight

The way opponents are determined in the round of 16 of the tournament is different from the previous preliminary rounds.

The contestants will come to a large pond containing a Magikarp to fish.

Each Magikarp has a corresponding number written on it, which determines the order in which the contestants compete.

This is quite a unique approach. As a veteran of the Air Force for many years, Xiao Zhi says he's very skilled at fishing!

He grabbed the fishing rod and cast it swiftly, and surprisingly, he caught a fish on the first try.

"Could it be that my fishing skills have reached perfection?!"

"Don't overthink it. Every Magikarp here is specially trained. They'll bite as soon as you put the hook on them."

Before Ash could even be happy for a few seconds, Misty revealed the truth.

"You awful Xia, couldn't you have told me later?"

Naz, who was standing to the side, watched the two of them bickering and giggled, finding it very amusing.

"Xiao Zhi's number is A-3."

On the large screen behind the receptionist, Ash saw his opponent for the next match, who was none other than the red-haired boy wearing a green hat.

"It really is Hiro."

If I can't believe I'll run into him in the round of 16 again, then I'll have to give it my all.

------------

The second day of the official competition has begun.

The venue here is larger than the one used for the preliminary rounds, and it can accommodate a much larger number of spectators.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Ash and Hiro entered the arena one after another and took their positions on either side of the battlefield.

"I never expected to run into you, Ash, in the very first match of the official tournament." Hiro had a very good impression of Ash.

Hiro was very happy to be able to battle Ash.

"This shows we're really destined to be together. I won't hold back in this match."

"Okay, bring it on!"

"The third match of the official Group A will be between two highly anticipated trainers, Ash and Hiro."

Both sides sent out their first Pokémon.

Ah Hong released a Butterfly.

"Go, Bobby!"

Hiro is surprisingly one of the rare trainers who knows how to name Pokémon.

Ash sent out Charizard.

"Ash didn't choose to send out the invincible Beedrill again, but instead sent out a new Pokémon, Charizard."

"How exactly will it perform?"

In the original series, Ash lost the match because Charizard wouldn't listen to him, and this time he's going to use Charizard directly to win.

Congratulations on triggering the side quest: Charizard's Redemption: Defeat Hiro using Charizard.

The system was also very accommodating, sending a task when Ash made his decision.

"Bobby used hypnotic powder!"

"The fire-breathing dragon flapped its wings and dispersed the hypnotic powder."

Powder-like attacks are far too easy for a winged Charizard to handle.

With a powerful flap of its two large wings, the resulting gust of wind blew the powder far away.

"Use Flame Charge now!"

"Bobby, get out of the way!"

While Butterfree was still bewildered by the fact that its sleep powder had been directly applied to it, Charizard had already appeared in front of it.

The sudden appearance of a terrifying dragon's face startled Butterfly.

Soon, the impact, accompanied by flames and lightning, arrived.

Its slow dodging speed made it impossible to dodge, and it was hit by the Flame Charge.

Bathed in flames, the black charcoal transformed into the shape of a butterfly and fell to the ground.

"Butterfly is incapacitated!" The referee immediately waved his flag.

"That was fast! Ash's Beedrill is powerful, and his Charizard is amazing too. He defeated Hiro's Butterfree in a very impressive way."

The gap between the two was too large; even Ash's original loss to Hiro was due to Team Rocket's interference.

They caused Pikachu to lose a lot of stamina before the match, and also caused Ash's favorite Pokémon, Pidgeotto, to be taken out of the game early.

All I can say is that the Rockets are truly heinous.

"Go, General!"

The second Pokémon that Hiroshi sent out was a Charmander.

Seeing such an opponent, Old Pen couldn't help but let out a breath and reveal a mocking smile.

If it weren't for Ash's fist shaking, it would have wanted to fly off the field and lie down for a nap right now.
