Of course, it would be even better if Ash could bring out all six Pokémon.
Moreover, Ash had sufficient reasons and justifications for doing so.
Just say that you want other Pokémon to participate more in this final game.
Put it this way, no one can find any fault with it.
"But if that happens, my record will be broken."
Ash doesn't care about the opinions of those gamblers.
He only acts according to his own ideas.
Even though the gamblers have hinted to Ash many times, overtly or covertly, he will gain a lot from it.
Not only money, but also various resources, even rare Pokémon, etc.~~~
Ash didn't care about this at all.
Moreover, with Gengar and Mewtwo around, plus Psychic's perception.
He was not afraid at all that this group of people might take any dangerous measures against him.
Therefore, no matter what those guys said in private, no matter how much they talked, Ash remained unmoved.
Seeing Ash's stubborn attitude, the gamblers could only leave one after another helplessly.
They feel that some of the betting ratios need to be adjusted and modified.
"I've almost decided on the final Pokémon for the finals."
Ash smiled and said to the two of them: "Anyway, it will definitely not be worse than Charizard's performance~~~"
Here, Ash confidently gave the two people positive feedback.
Misty and Xiaogang were no longer worried after hearing this, and instead started discussing what to eat tonight.
Pikachu was also very happy, dipping potato sticks into ketchup...
It should be said that ketchup is poured in large chunks on a French fry, covering it in all directions~~~
On the other side, there was Jimu.
He was also struggling with the Pokémon lineup he was about to send to the finals.
"The opponent has such a strong Charizard, so Ivysaur can't go up at the beginning..."
"Similarly, the Fighting Type's Infernape should be put on hold for now."
"And his Pikachu seems to be very strong. Gyarados is simply overwhelmed by it.....
"There's also Golem. The other side has three Water Type Pokémon: Kingler, Gyarados, and Wartortle..."
"Well, based on my observations and Ash's game habits, he basically won't use the Pokémon he sent out a second time.
"The good news is that those three Water-Type Pokémon should be the stock he has."
"In this case, Golem can prepare first."
"And even if he sends out 443Charizard and Pikachu, Golem can still counter them.
"Anyway, Golem is very strong, so we can just take this as a precaution...
As the absolute Trump Card in his hand, the first thing Jimu decided on was Golem.
But the other Pokémon were in trouble.
He thought about it for a long time, and finally, an idea that shouldn't have existed began to gradually occupy his mind.
"How about... go borrow some Pokémon from Grandpa?"
Once this thought appeared, it was like weeds in the field, growing wildly and uncontrollably.
Even though Jimu himself knew that this approach was completely wrong and should not be taken.
B...
But he still couldn't help but pick up the phone and contact his grandfather.
"Hello, Grandpa, it's me... um, I'm fine... yeah, I'm preparing for the finals.
After the call was connected, Jimu first greeted his grandfather properly.
Then, hesitantly, he began to look for a suitable excuse to talk about this matter.
As a result, the old and wise vice president grandfather spoke directly:
"Tell me, what do you want from me?!"
He could immediately hear Jimu's hesitation and hesitancy, so he asked directly.
"It's like this, Grandpa, I want..."
Seeing that he was asked directly, Jimu simply gritted his teeth.
He stammered as he mentioned this somewhat immature and inappropriate idea of his to the vice president grandfather.
The other end of the phone:
First there was a long silence, and then~~~
"Do you really think so?"
Then the vice president's grandfather sighed softly.
"**,..."
"Okay, I got it."
The person on the other end of the phone interrupted Ji Kun directly.
"I can tell you straight away, if you want to borrow my Pokémon..."
"There is no possibility at all."
Jimu was stunned by the decisiveness of the voice on the other end of the phone.
Originally, he thought that his grandfather was either going to scold him or was disappointed in him.
But I didn't expect that he would be so rational and calm to reject me so directly.
"You know how strong Ash's Pokémon are?"
The voice of the vice president's grandfather came from the other end of the phone, bringing Jimu back to his senses.
"Well, it should be very strong..."
"Well, let me tell you this~~~"
The grandfather told Jim directly:
"If you want to beat that Trainer named Ash in the finals, and you want to borrow my Pokémon..."
"Then let me tell you, unless you borrow my main Pokémon, there is no chance of winning."
Um?!!
Jimu was completely stunned when he heard this.
Then, there were waves of disbelief.
"To defeat his Pokémon, we need your main force, Grandpa?!!"
He was mumbling there.
"It's normal that you kids can't see it, but the eyesight of us old men hasn't degenerated to the point where we can't see it at all."
The vice president said solemnly: "The Pokémon he has are all very strong, so strong that it is totally beyond the level of a newly debuted Rookie Trainer."
"But we can also observe that this is indeed a Pokémon that he captured and trained himself."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Yoshiki: "..."
He gradually came to his senses: "Grandpa, you mean..."
"If I borrow your main Pokémon and use it, people who are about your age and level will be able to see that it's not my Pokémon, right?"
Jimu asked cautiously.
"That's the truth."
The vice president seemed to be stroking his beard and nodded:
"I know almost all of my main Pokémon and everyone in the Alliance. Of course, I also have a clear understanding of their lineups.
"So, as long as you borrow it and appear on stage, they will definitely recognize you immediately."
"When the time comes, deceiving the Alliance Conference will result in severe punishment."
The vice president said in a deep voice: "This is not just a simple punishment, your future development will also be greatly affected."
"Also, although your grandfather has the title of president, he is only the vice president!!"
"But there are also many people who are eyeing my position as your grandfather, and they are eager to find any problems."
"Do you think I might lend you the Pokémon again in this situation?"
*"..."
"I'm sorry, Grandpa..."
Jimu lowered his head: "I was wrong, I thought the problem was too simple."
"If you want to assist external forces, this is not a problem."
"But we also need to know the occasion and when to use it."
Jimu's grandfather did not scold him, but began to explain to him patiently:
"In a match like this Alliance Conference, you can only rely on your own strength.
"After all, you have to complete the Trainer path you chose yourself."
"Whether the result is good or bad, you have to bear it all by yourself and face it with your own strength.
Jimu nodded solemnly: "I understand, Grandpa..."
"In this battle, I will rely on my own strength, because...
At this point, Jimu's voice gradually became inaudible.
He reacted again.
Just kidding, when facing Ash's Pokémon, he needs his grandfather's main Pokémon to have a chance of winning.
So if I really only rely on my own strength, I will lose miserably, right?!
Relying solely on the Pokémon that Breeder has trained so far...
Wanting to win is unrealistic.
"Ahem, don't be discouraged."
When the vice president heard the silence on the other end of the phone, he couldn't help but cough twice:
"Even if the opponent is very strong, you can still take other measures...
"Another way?!"
Jimu immediately perked up when he heard this: "Can I deal with him from other aspects?!"
"Well, I mean..."
Jimu's grandfather also said vaguely:
"You can also place a bet and earn some resources to train your Pokémon better and gain stronger strength."
"Be fully prepared for the opportunity to challenge him again in the future."
Yoshiki:
I? Go place a bet?
What are you betting on? It can't be…
Jimu suddenly felt a toothache: "Grandpa, listen to your tone~~~"
"You've already placed your bet, haven't you?"
"Small gambling is good for your mood, big gambling is harmful to your health, play a little, play a little..."
"So who did you bet on to win? Hello? Hello?!!"
Beep~~~~~~
The dead tone coming from the other end of the phone left Jimu standing there alone.
Holding the receiver in my hand, I feel particularly lonely in this world.
Even his own grandfather is like this, and is so pessimistic about him...
This means that in the eyes of those powerful Trainers, this battle basically has no suspense.
"Damn it!!"
Jimu's face couldn't help but become distorted.
He was even a little angry and looked ferocious and gnashed his teeth.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the praised child by others and the pride in the eyes of his parents and grandparents.
When has Jimu ever been looked down upon like this?!
Moreover, his grandfather, who looked down on him, had not yet given him any harsh reprimand.
This means that in grandpa's eyes, he and that Ash are not at the same level of Rival.
Even if we lose, it seems to be reasonable and completely expected.....
Grass!!
Jimu was not convinced at all, so he dialed his grandfather's number again.
Then, at the moment of connection~~~
"You should at least tell me where you placed your bets, Grandpa!!"
Jimu yelled into the phone.
Well, although I can't beat him in a match.
But I have to win it back even when I am outside the court!!
I want this free money too!!
Jijingze...Jimu roared in his heart.
Soon, time passed leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, it was the last day of the Indigo Plateau Conference competition.
At the Indigo Plateau in the Kanto Region, the quartz sports field, the main competition venue, is now filled with boiling enthusiasm.
The finals of the Pokémon Alliance Indigo Plateau Conference are being held here.
The event attracted trainers and spectators from all over the world, and everyone was looking forward to witnessing the birth of a new generation of champions.
Not only was the auditorium filled with people.
Even in front of the TV, many viewers have gathered, ready to watch today's finals.
This can be said to be the most unpredictable finals match in history!!
boom!!
That high position in the center of the quartz arena.
Moltres's flame burned brightly.
Rising along with it is the increasingly heated atmosphere in the venue and the enthusiasm of the audience.
"Okay, dear audience friends!!!"
The passionate voice of the commentator came from the broadcast:
"You are now watching the finals of the Pokémon Alliance competition, the Indigo Plateau Conference!!"
"Today, right here, in this sacred Quartz Stadium."
"Two excellent trainers from different cities will decide the final champion here!!"
"Now, let's invite these two Trainers to come on stage!!"
Ta-ta-ta!!
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of flashing images began to appear on the large screen behind the sacred flame.
That was at the beginning, with photos and portraits of the 256 contestants who came to participate in the conference.
After that, after constant transformation, collision, and dissipation...
All the avatars disappeared and turned into a group of Lucas, converging into two largest avatars.
The one on the left is Jimu, and the one on the right is Ash.
Below their two avatars, six lighted Dawn icons appeared.
This represents the six Pokémon they will be using!!
At this time, under the explanation and introduction of the commentator.
On the field below, two trainers who were about to take the H-final stage also walked slowly from the players' passages on the left and right sides.
"Now everyone sees that the contestants walking onto our final stage are contestants Ash from Pallet Town!!"
"And there's Yoshiki from Muji City!!"
Ohhhh!!
As the commentator called out the name, the audience all cheered at once.
As Jimu walked toward the fighting stage, he knew that most of the cheers were not for him.
They were all given to the contestant who was also walking towards them - Ash from Pallet Town.
This was the first time that Jimu faced him head on.
He couldn't help but look at the Trainer who didn't look like Rookie at all.
There was calmness and confidence in his eyes, and there seemed to be a gentle smile on the corners of his mouth at all times.
The Pikachu next to him, although small in size, seems to be exuding an aura that should not be underestimated.
The electric bag on his cheek flickered slightly, as if accumulating amazing power.
Keep your head high, and your spirit contest condition is not normal enough.
Yoshiki: "~~~"
He still has some eyesight.
Looking at this Pikachu from the front, you can tell that it is an extremely difficult character.
And according to his estimation, Ash should have other more powerful Pokémon in his hands.
So, his grandfather was right and his judgment was very accurate.
I should, or maybe, probably, be about the same...I really can't win.
Forget it, if he can't win, then he can't win. Jimu has let it go...
Well, the main reason was that he was already in the casino, and according to his grandfather's coaching, he also bet everything.
"That's all my wealth..."
When I think about how I got so excited back then and invested most of my wealth into this~
Jimu wanted to slap himself on the head a few times.
But now that things have come to this, he has no other choice but to take a gamble.
"But even if I bet all my fortune on it..."
Jimu gritted his teeth and said, "I must also play well and have a good fight like this!!"
"At least, you must not lose too badly!!"
"I, Jimu, am completely different from those third-rate Trainers he defeated before!!"
