"You are Ash, right?! I want to challenge you!!!"
A man wearing a red shirt, a blue vest, and his messy hair tied in a green scarf was standing on the ferry.
He asked Ash and the others who were sitting on Lapras' back below.
"My name is Xiaoying! I am also a trainer currently challenging the Orange Alliance!!"
He puffed out his chest and said, "I went to Trovita Gym after you."
"After the battle, they mentioned you."
"I've heard about your deeds. You are a very good Trainer."
"Not only Trovita Gym, but other gyms have also talked about you."
"As a person, I like powerful Trainers and powerful Pokémon the most.
"The gym trainers all praise you so much, so I guess you must be pretty strong."
"How about it, do you want to compete with me?!"
Xiaoying said confidently: "The champion of the Indigo Plateau Conference?!!"
He even knew that Ash was the champion of the Indigo Plateau Conference.
"Want a competition? Sure~~"
Ash basically accepts all challenges from excellent Trainers. "But where shall we compete?"
"On this very sea?"
There was sea water all around, and there was no place to stand.
"Okay, that's really refreshing!"
Xiaoying was also full of fighting spirit, "The small island in front is where we will fight.
Cleopatra Island is the small island that appears right in front of them, located in the northeast region of the Orange Islands.
This island is uninhabited. Most of it is covered with forests, and there are beaches under the cliffs around it.
Aying drove her own ferry and arrived at the beach on the coast first.
Then Ash also followed here on Lapras.
"The format of the game is two-on-two, is that okay?"
"Of course no problem~"
After both sides stood in the "4, 2, 3" position, they decided on the format of the game.
"Go, Frog!!"
Xiaoying took out her Pokémon first.
Bang!!
A white light flashed, and a humanoid, dark blue Pokémon appeared in the venue.
"Yobo!!"
Strong arms, three fingers on the hands, what appeared to be white gloves, and toeless feet.
There are black swirling patterns on its white belly, and its eyes protrude from its head, often half-open and half-closed.
"Beep, Poliwrath, a tadpole Pokémon, is all muscle. Even in the cold sea, it can use its strong arms to break the ice and move forward bravely.
Rotom Pokédex hasn't been out for a while, so let's make its presence felt.
The Pokémon in front of you is the evolved form of Poliwag, Poliwag, whose official name is Poliwag.
But this mosquito-repellent frog is different from the Normal one.
Around its white belly with swirling patterns was a huge golden belt.
"This is the championship belt for the Pokémon tournament in my hometown.
Xiaoying put her hands on her waist, seeming very proud of this achievement.
"I told you I like powerful Pokémon, and this is the best proof of my experience!!"
Best proof?
Ash smiled, "I think you're right. A powerful Pokémon must have the best proof of its strength!"
He also directly took out a Pokémon ball and threw it out immediately.
"It's decided to be you, Disciple Bear!!"
As for the championship belt, his apprentice Xiong has also achieved the same.
"My bear apprentice also participated in the Pokémon P1 Fighting Conference in Kanto Region..."
Ash also introduced to Xiaoying the proud achievements of his apprentice:
"I also defeated all my competitors and won the championship belt."
"My current body shape is not suitable for wearing the championship belt, which may affect my performance."
"Ancient!!"
The bear apprentice, who was also a Fighting Type, shouted in response with full energy.
"Are they all champion Pokémon?!"
Xiaoying showed obvious interest.
"Very good, then let's see which of our champions is more powerful!!"
He had originally thought that Ash would send out the Pikachu that followed him.
After all, Electric Attribute Pokémon has a considerable advantage against Water Type Pokémon.
However, Ash did not bring out a Pokémon with an advantage, but instead sent out the same Pokémon as his Frog.
There are Fighting Types, and they are all bear apprentices with championship belts!!
This kind of head-on confrontation, with great confidence in his own fighting Pokémon... Xiaoying said he likes it very much!!
"As expected of the Indigo Plateau Conference champion, you have such a broad mind and spirit!!"
He fully recognized Ash, so he was ready to show his best strength to show his respect.
"Mosquito Frog, use Double Team to get closer!"
"Yobo!!"
I have to say, this mosquito-repellent frog is really quite capable.
Normally, when using Double Team Technique, three or four Pokémon will appear at most, and even four or five will be enough.
However, this mosquito-repellent frog released more than a dozen clones in one breath.
And they surrounded and attacked the bear disciple!
"Find the real body and use Zen Headbutt~"
Ash was not in a hurry, he just gave the order calmly.
"Ancient!!"
Apprentice Xiong's eyes were still firm and steady.
Its eyes looked straight down and glanced gently, and then~
Whoosh!!
It quickly found its target and rushed towards one of the mosquito-repellent frogs.
At the same time, a strong Psychic Type power gathered in his head, after approaching the mosquito-repellent frog.
Tackle fiercely and vigorously towards the other side!
Bang!!
Zen Headbutt hit the mosquito frog right in the body, sending it flying with such force!!
"Yobo~~~"
The mosquito-repellent frog let out a scream in the air.
When he fell to the ground again, he was lying straight down and couldn't stand up.
"Mosquito Frog?!"
No matter how Xiaoying shouted, she couldn't change the swirling eyes of the mosquito-repellent frog.
"The mosquito-repellent frog loses its ability to fight, and the bear disciple wins!"
Tracey, who acted as the referee, gave his judgment.
Even though this mosquito frog was of a high level, it was unable to recover after being hit by the bear apprentice's Psychic Type trick that restrained it.
What's more~~~
The level of the mosquito-repellent frog is very high, and the level of the bear apprentice is also not low!
As the earliest Pokémon in Ash's possession, it is also the Pokémon that has trained the hardest, has the most determined mind, and has the most unwavering determination to become stronger.
Given the current strength of Bear Apprentice, it cannot be treated as a Normal Pokémon at all.
"How did it find the real one among the many Double Teams of my mosquito-repellent frog?"
While Xiaoying took back her Pokémon, she couldn't help but ask the question in her mind.
"It's simple, this is the beach…"
Ash looked at the other person's feet, "If a real body steps on this field, it will leave footprints one by one."
"..."
He subconsciously lowered his head and saw a series of footprints made by the mosquito-repellent frog.
More than a dozen Double Teams, but just one set of footsteps.
This is a bit too obvious~~~
"I see. A true Pokémon Trainer is good at finding slight differences in the battle environment."
Xiaoying also sighed in understanding, "You are worthy of being the champion of the Indigo Plateau Conference."
"I always like to use the subversion strategy, using my own high-level Pokémon to suppress and win."
"But I didn't expect that there is always a mountain higher than the other..."
"It seems that I still need to practice well~~~"
He accepted his defeat sincerely and had no intention of continuing the game.
"When I have truly practiced to the point where I can no longer be knocked down by a single blow, I will come and challenge you, Mr. Ash!!"
He realized his own shortcomings, and the scene of the mosquito frog being defeated by one blow gave him a great shock.
This made Xiaoying feel that her training was still insufficient, and the gap between her and Ash was too big. There was no point in continuing the competition except to embarrass herself.
His previous victories in battles had made him too proud and arrogant.
So you still have to work hard to make yourself stronger.
After the battle with Ash, Xiaoying became more calm. She said goodbye to Ash and others and left.
He planned to take his own ship and continue to hone his career.
"So, no matter what kind of champion it is...
Looking at the point where the ship disappeared on the distant skyline, Misty also joked lightheartedly:
"As long as I'm against Ash, I won't win!!"
Even Tracey nodded slightly beside him.
They had almost gotten used to Ash's victory.
"Let's go too."
Ash just smiled and didn't say much.
In the original storyline, the appearance of this Xiaoying actually helped thaw the relationship between Ash and the disobedient Charizard.
Originally, at Xiaoying's request, he and Ash had a one-on-one battle.
Ying sent out his Frog and successfully defeated Ash's Pikachu and Charizard.
Charizard lost the game mainly because he didn't listen to Ash, so he was frozen by Frog's Freeze Ray.
Afterwards, Xiaoying told Ash to wait until Charizard could listen to Ash's commands before fighting him again.
In order to keep the flame on Charizard's tail from going out, Ash stayed up all night to take care of Charizard, which influenced Charizard and made him start to listen to Ash.
On the second day, Pikachu was taken by Konka from Team Rocket.
While Charizard was doing his best to rescue Pikachu, he also developed trust in Ash, who had taken care of him all night while he was frozen, allowing Ash to successfully rescue Pikachu.
Xiaoying also saw this scene and asked Ash if he was ready to fight again.
Ash said it was enough, and sent Charizard to fight against Frog again.
This time, Charizard was willing to listen to Ash and cooperated with him tacitly.
Charizard used his claws to catch Frog's Mega Kick, and then flew up to avoid Frog's Freeze Ray D..
In the end, Charizard used Seismic Toss to defeat Poliwag.
"But now, I don't need to thaw with Charizard at all~~~"
Charmander has been very obedient since she followed Ash.
Even after evolving into Charmeleon and Charizard, his temperament became a little more rebellious.
But when facing Ash, he still behaved obediently and followed Ash's instructions.
Trainer's etc.
In terms of level, Ash is now much higher than before.
"Charizard is not worth worrying about, but the bear apprentice is..."
Ash glanced at his apprentice who was still calm and composed, not impatient or anxious. He was very steady there.
He already has the profound and majestic bearing of a master.
"It's almost there. Soon, you will get the last [Proof of Champion] and be able to evolve, Bear Apprentice~~~"
Ash and his crew left Cleopatra Island and continued their journey.
And this time, they came to Ascorbia Island.
It is an island located at the very edge of the Orange Islands.
There are many cities on the island and a harbor, which is very similar to Mandarin Island, but most of the high-rise buildings here are apartments and warehouses.
There are many warehouses and cars in the Harbor, and many ships are parked in the harbor. Ash and his group also landed here.
As soon as they landed and finally saw the city, they wanted to take a good rest and experience the modern life in the city.
But at this time~~~
"It's on fire!!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire!!!"
The crowd ran past them in a panic.
As for fire...
"It's your turn now."
Ash, Misty and others were heading that way when they saw the warehouse on fire.
He also released the Pokémon ball in his hand as soon as possible.
"Go ahead, Blastoise~!!"
"Cut it!!"
Blastoise, who is known as the "Fire Captain", has trained countless times at the Kanto Region Fire Department and achieved excellent results.
The two thick cannon water pipes behind him were automatically aimed at the burning warehouse not far away.
Crash!!
Incredibly thick water columns gushed out from those two water pipes!
"Ding ding ding!!"
At this time, Officer Jenny was still there holding the whistle and blowing it continuously:
"It's very dangerous here, please retreat!"
"Don't get close to the fire, don't crowd over here, the fire brigade is coming soon!!"
She worked hard to maintain order there.
At this time~
Crash!!
The pouring water column directly rushed to the burning house and accurately extinguished the flames there.
Suddenly, the fire that was originally burning fiercely died down in an instant.
"This is... is Blastoise?!"
Officer Jenny was startled, turned around, and found that it was a Blastoise releasing water there.
And behind Blastoise...
"With Pikachu, a trio of two men and one woman...!!"
Officer Jenny's eyes lit up instantly: "It's Mr. Ash!!"
When it was 5.4, Officer Jenny was no longer nervous, her back was straightened and she felt very confident.
With Mr. Ash's presence to support us, everything will be fine.
Even the burning fire, didn't you see that it was immediately extinguished after Mr. Ash's Blastoise came into action?!
Sure enough, the legend is true, and what those sisters said is also right.
As long as Mr. Ash comes, all the troubles and difficulties will be solved!
"Great, I didn't expect Mr. Ash to come to our Aijima...
Officer Jenny finally breathed a sigh of relief. "In this case, I can finally rest assured."
She was relieved, the fire was safely resolved with the help of Blastoise.
And just at this time~
Beep~beep~
The fire brigade's rescue vehicle then appeared with red lights flashing all the way.
Then a firefighter in an orange rescue suit arrived at the scene.
He also brought a group of well-organized Wartortles and immediately started to fight the fire.
Judging from the level of tacit understanding among the group of Wartortles, they are obviously well-trained and excellent firefighters.
However, by the time they arrived and started rescue work, the fire had already been brought under control.
"Was it the Blastoise that did it?"
Firefighter Russell glanced carefully at Blastoise, who had already retrieved the Hydro Pump.
The latter also looked at him calmly.
"We were able to clearly know the fire extinguishing points and control the fire very well. Some flames were also effectively extinguished, and the danger was nipped in the bud..."
"This isn't something a Normal Water-Type Pokémon can do~"
"Unless, it has also received professional firefighting training!!"
Russell suddenly became interested in this Blastoise.
As the firefighters entered the scene, the fire was successfully put out.
